superintendent Miles Explaans Klis In.
creased Estimates.

TEE STAB has heretofore referred to the an
nuai report OF Superintendent Miles,, OF the Dis
trfct telegraph and telephone service. As the
esumates for next year were larger than for the
year previous the Commissioners called upon Mr..
Niles to explain the necessity OF Increasing the
number Of nre-alarm boxes and multiplying and
eniafging the number Of circuits In his anwer TO
tne commissioners Mr. Miles states that in his re-
port ne estimates for nifty additional nre-alarm
signal boxes Ten Of that number, he says, are
needed In the northeast section OF the city; eight
In the southeast section OF the city; ten In the
southwest section; ten In the northwest section;
nve north OF the city limits On the suburbs, tn
northwest, so as TO take in the village Of Mount
fIeasant; and two in Uniontown. These boxes
cost at the place Of manufacture SUES each.
INCREASED CIRCUITS NEEDED.
MI. Miies further states that by so large an In
crease OF signal boxes It will become necessary to
increase the number OF circuits There are now
signal circuits, on which are distributed l3o
boxes. IT will become expedient he continues,
anu smost an absolute necessity, by 90 large an
circuits, and II any new circuits be added a new
automatic repeater viii have to be Obtained, as
.ne oniy one now In use at his once has capacity
worth y, 600 each. An increase in circuits will
necessltate new switch board which win cost
80 tine construction Of airline extensions Of
present or future circuits to the suburban boxes
contemplated Will cost, as estimate the WORK and
material, $l2o. and hence my estimates were based
as iOliows: oO new signal boxes, at Sl25-e6 $50;
new automatic repeater, $1,000; 1 new switch
BOARD, $500; enlargng circuits outside city Nmits
$3.50; total COST $4,000"
UNDERGROUND wREa
the foregoing, he says does not include any Of
the cost OF increasing the number OF circuits for
ne taxes IL Tor granted that the wires all OF them
wltnin city limits Will be put underground, and
InaC tne necessary expense OF the increase in the
number Oh circuits Will be paid for out OF the APP
prOpnauon winch may be made for transferring
the wires from the poles and housetops to a more
appropriate place underground. During the au-
tumn Oh 1854, ne says rorty-three additional sig
nal boxes were added at one time to the alarm
telegraph, at total cost or 81, $685. but at that
Time no adoltional instruments were required for
He says. In conclusion, that the several items
mentioned above are all absolutely essential and
are much needed. The estimates are based upon
absolute cost OF such instruments, and should Il
become necessary TO increase the number of cir
cults by erecting air lines instead OF underground
as above stated, at least S. 900 additional should
be appropriated for the Contemplated work.

A FISH MILKING A cow.
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.

On the farm of Jacob Croft, who
lives near Zodiac Spring, in the
Southern part of the township, is
large pond where mich cows are in
the habit of standing during the day.
One of the cows acted SO strangely
when at the pond that she attracted
the attention of Mr.. Croft and the
farm hands. She would 90 into the
water an hour or so before the other
COWS and, after wading out certain
depth, would stop and commence
lowing, as though calling to calf.
Immediately after she would remain
perfectly quiet, and seem contented.
No cause could be assigned for her
strange conduct, although on several
occasions she was closely watched.
Recently the water in the pond be-
came low, it scarcely reaching the
cows knees. She made her usual
daily trip, however, and took up her
old position. One day last week she
was watched very closely, and it was
discovered that when she ceased call
ing a large catfish would come to
the surface of the water and suck
milk until its appetite was satisfied.
The fish was caught by Mr.. Croft in
the Sac River year ago, and was
thrown into the pond.

4 PECULIAR CIJSTOM.

The Nienese spend much time at
cafes and beer gardens, and conse-
quently they do not return to their
homes until rather late in the eve
ming. Every one who is out after
III o'clock p. m. in Viena is charged
four cents, and by an old law the
porters of the houses are authorized
to collect and keep this fine, which
must amount to good sum in such
a city of'pleasure. The young men
In Vienna have never been able to
get this law repealed, for the major
ity in the Legislature are men of
property who, on account of this
hne, can get porters to take care of
their apartment houses for nothing.
There are no latch keys to the out
side doors, SO every person who re-
turns after 10 O'Clock at night must
get the porter to open the doors and
pay him four cents. 1t is an anus
ing sight to see the porters all
standing at their doors, keys in
hand, towards 10 O'Clock, waiting
for the clock to announce the hour
for closing, so that they may miss
no tees from late returners. When
young men are making calls they
become uneasy toward 10 o'clock,
and they can be seen 10 revolve in
their minds the problem whether
to stay longer and spend eight cents
each in fees-for they have to pay
to get out of the house where they
are as we'll as to geti in their own-or
leave at once and have two glasses
OF beer each at the expense of the
porters. Austrian girls have to
make a great many attractions to
make the young men give up their
beer for them, for what do Austrian
men like better than their beer
nothing but themselves Vienna

n. Kate Gentry filed at Washing
ton an application for a patent on a
remedial cosmetic" She failed to
obtain her patent because she part
ed her name in the middle. The
examines held that the signature
was defective, as she had failed to
write her Christian name in full.
On appeal the Commissioner sus-
tanned this oppinion. The law re-
cognizes but one name-the first
one-and unless that is given in
full the signature becomes worthless
from legal standpoint.

THE FARMERS WIFE.
Alliance Advocate.

The success OF the farmer, like
the success of every man, depends
largely upon his wife although this
fact is too seldom considered. II
she be extravagant, careless, untidy,
wasteful, negligent or ill-tempered
there can be no success on the farm
If she keep a merry heart and cheer
tul countenance, is prudent, careful,
industrious and frugal, the farm will
succeed even if the man be lazy and
untitled for his work. This being
true, it is only half fair to speak of
any mans success as a farmer if his
wife's cooperation be not at the
same time recognized.
Taking more than her share of
the labor she merits generous al
lotment of praise. With the day
dawn, throughout its busy hours,
and at its close, her work should re-
ceive acknowledgement, her burden
be lighted, and her life be brighten
ed as much as possible. The farm
er has hard life oi'labor, but while
he works he is surrounded by the
great world and is broadened and
helped unwittingly, while his wife
tolls on increasingly within the mar
row confines of the house, and lives
in the kingdom of home, life as
broad and deep and far-reaching as
his if she has ever as the limits OF
her horizon, the pure, strong love OF
her husband and children. IF that
be denied, even seemingly, narrow,
confined existence will be hers,
whose only boon is, that death will
one day set her free.
When this is fully realized hap
pier state Of things will exist. She
will not be expected to cook things
for others which she detests, without
in turn receiving little delicacies
which she alone cares for. Her taste
for music and flowers and home dec
grafton will be encouraged and i
will be deemed as essential to fur
nish labor saving machinery for tn,
home as for the farm, and the farm
er's wife become what she shoul,
ever be, the true help-mate OF he
husband, the honored queen of
happy home, which, because of her
will be the dearest spot on earth t.
every member OF her household.

TRUCK FARMING IN THE SOUTH.

An illustration of the profitable
ness of truck growing in the South
is given by the Charleston News
and Courier in the following:
at is a cold and substantial fact
that two farmers in the neighbor-
hood of Charleston have cleared
over 100000 this year by their veg
etables alone. To take another in
stance, there is a man who last GEAR
was in debt to the tune of over
81, 1000, and who even hired fhe land
that he farmed. This year he went
to work again, and has not only
paid all his expenses, but discharg-
ed his old debt and has about 81, 900
to his credit in bank besides"
