THE GIGGLING GIRL.
why She Is Looked Upon as Jmbe-
ellie by Average Mortal.

From boys in their bnobvhood, and
girls in their 9igglehood, may the farcs
protect us. A laugh is a laugh the
world over. 1t is a spusmodic .oul-
sneeze, and as contagious as measles.
Whether il is the laugh of joyous youth
or cackling age il delights or amuses.
But a giggle is worse than the parablcd
thorns under II pot. Ii is the echo of
emptiness. Asa RUE men do not zig
gle. They would be WUrsc than II ST.
Bartholomew massacre il they did. 1t
is the Atuericau girl who ~giggICs, the
ubiquitous American girl who d"ttrs
all known laws, goes where she will,
does what she plcasrs and is "a law
unto herself. OF course she Is irrcsist-
ible and loving and some day makes a
grand, good woman. She would not
be the American girl otherwise. But
she giggies and protests and giggIes.
If she were the trained product of a
young ladies' seminary, We should say
her giggle were Il hysteria of the i'm
aginatiOn. But she is not a trained
product of any school. She was a
petted and spoiled child she is a reitcd
n spoiled young She gig
giles from habit. No one has cvcr I'M
dertaken TO suppress her, SO she goes
on giggling. Here is a lair sample OF
the conversation of a group of the
American girls:
"Oh, girls, you just ought to have
been at Mrs. Stevens party. George
Smith and Harry Jones were there land
oh, te-he-
"Oh, te he te- he.he oh. he he.he."
81 wore my pink silk and spilled cof-
fee on the front breadth
"Te-he-ho tc-he-he-how careless
te he he'll
"Nellie Brown couldn't go beca use
she is wearing black for her.
"Oh te-he- he-how sad pom Nellie
te- he-really-te-he"
"Did you hear Kate White was en-
gagged to John Sippkins You know
girls it is leap year-te-he-he!
"9cs-te-he-te he-he-so funny oh
lie he-he--he- he-he-"
"What do You chew, Susie? Tutti
frutti or spruce3 l like rubber gum
best-te.he."
$50 do l.; che he-he ~te-he."
Perhaps this is the language that was
invented TO conceal thought. Girls,
don't giggle. Throw back your heads,
expand your pretty throats and laugh
till the welkin rings. 1t will do you
good and make all who hear you happy.
Laugh, and the world will laugh
with you"
Giggle, and it won't give you credit
tor the sense you have.

JEFFERSON CITY, February 1, 1899.
Hon. w. K. Morrison, Commissioner,
Washington, ID C-Dear Sir:-Under
recent regulations regarding the trans
portation of live stock in cal loads and
now i'm force upon railroads operating
between points in this stale aud points
in adjacent states, very general dissatis-
faction has arisen amongst stock ship

garding the unreasonableness of such

board.
Probably thrce-tnurths of the entire
stock shipments of the state come un-
de- the head Of interstate traffic, and
,ecognizing the Iact that such traffic
cannot be controlled by state authority,

PRETTY OLD WHISKY.

Mr.. Ed. Sinclair and Col. III S.
Dewey contemplate making u search in
the spring, or rather when there is an
other low stage of water, for the loca-
ton Of the steamboat which sunk in
the river six miles above the city thirty
years ago. Part of the cargo of the i'll
fated craft was $50 barrels OF Kentucky
whisky, and the gentlemen think thai
if they can locate the exact spot where
the hull lies buried in the mud and
sand at the bottom of the river, they
will be able to ecover the barrels OF
whisky, and should they so succeed
they will be In possession of a verita-
bic bonanza, as $50 barrels of 30.year-
old whisky, and a prime article OF the
stuff at that, would be worth consider
able money. Several unsuccessful ei-
forts have heretofore been made to re
cover the liquor.

THE METALLIC CIRCUIT.

Hts Admirable Working-No Ground
 Connections - Telephone COnversa-
 tion With New York, Philadelphia,
 Boston, Etc.
 The metallic telephone circuit affords nearly perfect means of long distance com- munication. About fifteen are now in use in this city and 115 in the State. Conversation can be easily carried on from New Haven with Boston, New York, Buffalo, Springfield, Philadelphia and other distant places. With the instrument in the COURIER office we con- verse readily, in the tones of ordinary con- versation, with any of the places mentioned. The absence of the buzzing, cracking noise is due to the metallic return wire instead of the old manner of returning the circuit through the earth. The difference between the metallic and the ordinary service is that the metallic circuit telephones have no ground connection. The telephone company does not want the earth any longer. It has no further use for it. Instead of using the ground to complete the circuit as formerly the same result is now obtained by running 8 second wire, both entirely free from any ground connection, back to the starting point again.
 The time is not far distant when we shall speak with Chicago as easily as with Spring field
