Something new in the telephone line
has developed in France. A man called
up President Carnot's ministers by tele-
phone and denounced them in o most
vigorous and reasonable way. He was
arrested, but the French courts held that
insults offered over telephone wire are
not penal offenses This shows that
criminal laws do not keep pace with
new inventions. 1t is so the world over.
Men lie over the telephone every day.
They telephone home that business will
keep them down town and that they
cannot be home to dinner, and may be
detained late at night. There Is no re.
dress for wives in such cases except to
dress for dinner and dine without hus.
bands. Business transactions are carried
ON by telephone. A man has made q
bad bargain and does not wish to stand
by it. He says he did not telephone and
you cannot swear to the voice that came
In the buzz. No witness heard what he
said. The law has provided against oh.
scene matter sent by mail. Telegraph
companies rule out cuss words. But q
man talking to you by telephone may
abuse you as il you were a pickpocket
You cannot smash his jaw and you must
stand it.-New Orleans Picayune.

venience, utility and even elegance,
manufactured from celluloid, are in daily
Use by large numbers of the people.
The question is asked, MAY they be
safely usedy' Celluloid is made from
gun cotton, the powerful and violent ex-
plosive compound. Gun cotton is made
by saturating absorbent paper with
mixture of two parts of nitric acid and
five parts of sulphuric acid The cellu-
lose of the paper, derived from the cell
lular tissue of the cotton in common use.
is changed by the combination and be-
comes gun cotton. To make celluloid,
the excess of acid is washed out by the
free use of water, and by pressure care
fully applied. After the removal of all
uncombined acid, it is reduced to ho-
mogeneous pulpy mass, strained until it
becomes nearly dry, and is then mixed
with about one-third of its weight of
gum camphor.
These materials are mixed as uniform
ly as possible by careful manipulation
with wooden instruments, and then by
grinding. The pulp which is turned out
by grinding is spread out and reduced to
slabs of various thicknesses and rolled
between steam heated rollers, and then
becomes moderately elastic in strips Of
medium thickness. In this form it Is
worked up into the various articles
which are offered for sale and use. Al

The Sin OF Lying.

The emperor of Russia, when upon a
tour of inspection in the provinces,
passed the night in the simple hut of the
toll taker, Before retiring he was
pleased, as the head of the church, to
see the old man take up his Bible and
read a chapter. "Do you read often,
my SOM he asked "Yes, your males
ty, every day" "How much of the
Bible have you read, my SOM Dur
ing the past year the Old Testament and
part of Matthew, your majesty"
Thinking to reward him, the car
placed 500 rubles between the leaves of
the Book of Mark on the following morn
ing, unknown to the toll keeper, whom
he babe farewell. Several months
passed away and the emperor returned
upon second tour, to the toll takers
hut. Taking the Bible in his hands he
was surprised to find the 800 rubles in
tact. Again interrogating the toll keep
er rs to his diligence in reading he re.
ceived an affirmative answer and the
statement that he had finished the chap
ters of Luke,
Lying, my son, is great sin" re-
piled his majesty; "give me the Bible
till ! see" Opening the book he pointed
to the money, which the man had not
seen. Thou hast not sought the king
dom of God, my son. As punishment,
thou shalt also lose thy earthly reward" "
And he placed the rubles in his pocket,
to distribute afterward among the neigh
boring poor. london Standard.

A contributor to The Freisinnige lei
tung has collected from all the foremost
nations Of the world heap Of proverbs
Of men concerning women" 1t appears
from them that the southern people, who
count themselves the most chivalrous
and gallant toward the ladies, are more
coarse and insulting in their proverbs
than the colder Dortherners. Although
the Germans, the Scandinayians and the
English are not complimentary to wo-
men in their proverbs, they are rarely
brutal"
The Frenchman says: "a man who
has wife has plague" "A man made
OF straw is worth double as much as a
woman made Of gold" The Spaniard
says; "A woman's advice is never of any
use, but unless you follow il she will rail
at you as fool" BE on your guard
against bad woman, but do not put
your trust in good woman" There
is only one bad woman, but every hus-
band believes he possesses her." The
Italians sayi IF man loses his wife and
a farthing, he has only lost a farthing."
The chief failings Of the sex, according
to whole host of English and German
proverbs, are changeableness and talka-
uveness, the former of which Is equally
true Of men and the latter not disagreea-
BILE TO men in the Latin nations.
The charge that "Womens minds and
April winds often change" and the state
ment that "A womans strength lies In
her tongue" appear 10 be accepted In
various readings throughout northern
Europe. The specimen of a Yankee
proverb is Characteristic; women can
keep secret, but it takes big crowd of
them To do it," The Chinese say that
"A woman's tongue is her sword, !" but
.'she never Ists Il grow rusty."-New

A most remarkable case was brought
to light by the coroner recently during
an inquest on the body of an 1S-year-old
girl who died Thursday night in a one
room shanty which served as home for
awidow and her six children. Josephine
Grabski, the dead girl, who was the eld-
est of the family, had never walked n
step in her life, she had never seen the
light of day, never heard the sound Of
voices, never uttered an ineligible sylla-
ble since the day of her birth and was
never known TO smile.
She ate what was given her, rejecting
nothing, and never making a sign that
she desired more. The only feeling that
this semi-inanimate creature ever be-
trayed was when a flower would be
placed in her hand. At the time of her
death her body was no larger than that
Of an ordinary 10-year-old child All
her limbs were in proportion, but her
knees were drawn up 30 that she had
never been able to walk. What sur
prised the family and the neighbors most
was the smile ON the face Of the dead
girl. Her countenance looked like that
Of q beautiful angel in sweet repose, and
the lips were parted in heavenly smile,
though she had never smiled in her life.

Difference ia ERRs,

In form and general aspect the differ
ence among birds eggs Is endless. Some
are elongated, some are spherical, some
are dull on the surface, some are polished,
some are dark and others gray or white
others very bright, The shape of eggs
offers as much diversity as their size and
weight. They may be thrown, however,
into six different or typical forms-the
cylindrical, the oval, the spherical, the
ovicular, oviconical and the elliptic. The
ovicular form of eggs belongs TO the Pas
serp and Galliac@, the ovoid to the ra-
pacious birds and the Palmipedes, the
oonical to the wading birds and some
Palmipedes, the short to some game and
many stilted birds and the spherical to
nocturnal birds of prey and the kingfisher
II farmer has flock of 100 hens they
produce in egg shells about 1877 pounds OF
chalk annually; and yet not pound of
the substance, or perhaps not even an
ounce, exists around the farm house
grounds, Tho materials of their manu-
facture are found in the food consumed
and In the sand, pebble stones, brick
dust, bits of bones, 6tc., which hens and
other birds are continually picking from
the earth. The instinct is keen for these
apparently innutritious and refractory
substances, and they are devoured with
as eager a relish as the cereal grains ol
insects. If hens are confined 10 barns or
outbuildings it is obvious that the egg
producing machinery cannot be kept
long in action unless tho materials for
the shell are supplied IN ample abun-
danos--PopuiaE Scisnoe.

a correspondent Of The Western Mail,
writing from st. Asaph, furnishes some
further interesting particulars of the
early years OF Mr., II. NJ. Stanley. When
young Rowlands-as Stanley was, of
course, known before he was adopted by
the gentleman who took him to America
attended the st. Asaph Union school,
the schoolmaster had so high an opinion
of him that he used to put him in charge
Of the schoolboys during his absence.
The boy was quite equal to the task of
maintaining discipline He would allow
no one to question his authority. Rather
than to suffer any one to take liberties
with him he would give the boys a
thrashing all round and this he used to
do so effectually that no boy was found
bold enough to dispute his authority.
The boy was particularly fond of geogra-
ply and arithmetic, and seemed never so
happy as when, pointer in hand, he was
allowed to ramble at his own sweet will
over the face of the map. He seemed to
his fellow pupils to have the latitude and
longitude Of each place at his fingers
ends. He was also good penman, and
on this account was often selected by the
porter to enter the names of visitors in
book kept for that purpose, and at times
he was even invited into the clerks of
flee to help with the accounts.
''T. l.. L.W." says that having search
ed the books at the workhouse in order
to find if there are any traces of Stanley
there, he discovered among the entries
the name of John Rowlands some eight
times. The first entry is that of his ad-
mission to the house. which took place
on Feb. 90, 1S47. He is entered as be-
longing to the parish of Denbigh and as
having been born in 1Sfl (this date. by
the way, tallies exactly with DIR. Pierce's
accomt). His name next occurs in the
lists of inmates for the years 1916.
Previous to this no list of names for
each year was made out; only the names
of those who were admitted or discharg-
ed during the year were registered. The
last entry is dated May 10, 1856, and is
the time when he finally left the work
house. lie is there reported to have
''gone to his uncle at the national school,
Holywell." Other books, such as the re-
porter's report book and the clerks ac-
count books, may throw additional light
upon the early days of Stanley.-Pall
Mall Gazette.

sen Egg. hx Weight.

Here is scene in grocery; Two
farmers brought In some eggs to sell.
The one was evidently proud of his eggs
and proud OF the birds that laid them.
He had flock OF fine Plymouth Rocks,
and the eggs they laid were beauties A
dozen Of them weighed thirty-nine
ounces, an average of three and quarter
ounces each. The other farmer brought
in his eggs without saying word, had
nothing 10 say of them or the fowls that
laid them. A dozen of his eggs weighed
twenty-one ounces, an average of one
and three-quarter ounces each. Both
lots Of eggs were carried to the rear of
the store by clerk, counted and each
man got cent apiece for his eggs. As
he Of the small eggs passed bystander
In going out he winked knowingly and
said; THAT man with the big eggs is a
fool; his hens eat heap more than
mine, make no more eggs-though they
are bigger-but he gets no more for
them. New York Mail and Express.

AIistOOk the Reading.

Gillifower isn't much of scholar, and
the other night when he was reading to
his old fashioned wife out OF newspa.
per, he came across an item about some
woman having charge of twenty Ave
kindergartens. The last being little
blurred he read it, twenty-five kind er

''Law-sakes!" exclaimed the old lady.
US she snatched off her spectacles in as
