BELLS INVENTION.

The Telephone the Outgrowth OF At
tempts to Aid His Mothers Hearing.
A. r. Bennett, in speaking at Dun
dee, Scotland, on the occasion of the
Inauguration of some local telephone
lines, gave some very interesting de-
tails connected with Graham Bells ear
ly history, and these were largely sup
plemented by a cou sin of Beli's. who
was present 1t appears that Bell was
always, when a boy, trying to devise
some means of improving the hearing
of his mother, who was very deaf. He
then conceived the idea of passing sopnd
along wires, and this idea, which arose
out of his regard for his mother, ulti-
mately became perfected through his
devotion to his wife. Bell became a
teacher in deaf and dumb school in
Boston, and became enamored of lady
who was partially affected, whom he
married. He now applied him.
self with redoubled energy to the prob
lem of transmission of sound, and in the
course of his experiments he succeeded
in enabling his wife to understand con-
yersation and to be understood. Bell
tried to push his invention in Edin-
burrh with but little success, and after
ward turned his steps to London, where
he met with more encouragement. 1t
is stated as curious fact that Bell him
self did not perceive all the great possi-
bilities before the telephone, and looked
with scant favor on the idea OF "eX-
changes" which have since assumed
such proportions all over the world.
MIR. Bennett was strongly inclined to
think that the telephone had been spo-
ken of prophetically many thousand
wears ago, and he instanced, among 9TH
er passages of the Scriptures. that in the
Psalms, describing how their line is
gone through all the earth and their
words to the end of the world" as hav-

One WAY to Cure u ToOtha che.

Ever so many ''toothache cures
have been suggested from the time
toothaches were first invented. All OF
them have been probably more or less
successful in banishing the pain. Here
is an unique cure" however, that we
have never before seen mentioned. Ii
is offered by DR.. Lambert. of New
York, who says he has tested it with
good results.
He took silver haif-dollar and cop
per two-cent piece. He then placed the
copper piece on the outside skin over
the place where the tooth ached, and
the silver piece over and on the skin
Just in front of the middle of the ear. so
that the silver just touched the front OF
the middle of the ear, and held both
pieces with just pressure enough to
keep them in their position. In three
minutes the pain was gone and has
never returned.-N. Y. Voice.

CHAPTER V.

The sun having risen and dispel1eo
the fog, the voyagers looked QUO for a
place to land. A little creek almost
concealed by overhanging branches Of
fered safe retreat and the canoe was
drawn up on shore, breakfast disposed
of and Marden lay down to rest while
Jabe and Ariel kept watch. There was
q serious doubt in their minds whether
their escape from the redskins had
been so thoroughly covered up as to
preclude the fear of pursuit. The up
setting of one canoe might be attributed
to accident, but the disappearance of
the other with its human freight might
we'll excite suspicion in the breasts of
the wary savages. While JADE. there
fore, watched the river from his hiding
place, the restless half-breed lowered
around the spot where Marden slept
until the thought occurred to him that
Jabe, being in a recumbent position,
might sleep at his post; wherefore he
hurried to the spot. Slight as was the
sound of his approach, the ranger heard
it and made a gesture which caused the
boy to crouch to the earth while he
crept to the river bank. A canoe,
padded by two braves, was gliding up
the stream, and it soon became apparent
that they were scrutinizing the shores
for some trace of the presence of foe. j.;
On reaching the mouth of the creek
they paused. Something had attracted
their attention; they were about to in
vestigate. Jabe's eyes, following the
direction of theirs, had discovered the
secret. A newly-broken branch over
hanging the creek had betrayed their
hiding place. The canoe approached
cautiously; it entered the creek. In
another moment all would be discov-
cred. Jake was in the act of cooking
his rifle, but at sign from Ariel he de-
sisted. The report of a gun might be
heard at the camp. The boy fitted an
arrow to his bow and waited. A grunt
from one of the braves announced that
he had found the canoe, and he was
about to launch it when the half-breed's
arrow buried itself in his chest, while
Jabe from the bank above hurled a
boulder through the bottom of the hos
tile bark which narrowly missed its re-
naming occupant. As the canoe sunk
beneath him, however, the brave seized
an overhanging branch by which he
creek and disappeared in the timber.
Ariel, having aroused his master, re-
turned to his post on the river bank.
from whence he returned hastily with
tho news of another canoe on the river.
Marden determined at once to proceed
and gave orders to launch the canoe.
1--WE will paddle quietly up stream"
said he, land they may follow US in the
belief that we are their friends, for they
can not distinguish us at such dis
tance.''
Again Ariel took his place in the bot
tom of the canoe as it headed up stream,
and it seemed as if Marden's stratagem
was about to succeed, for the hostile bark
still held it's course.
1t was now past noon, and strong
breeze made ripples on the stream.
Ariel clapped his hands and pointed
to the pursuing bark. She was coming
on rapidly, propelled by blanket sail.

CARDIFF FALLS DOWN.
Seized With Nausea, He Surren-
derS to Godfrey.


PROVIDENCE. r. L, May S.-Twelve
hundred people at the Gladstone club
tonight saw Patsy Cardiff, of Mime
apolls, fall down before George God
frey. the colored heavyweight cham
pion, of Boston, in sixteen rounds. The
opinion was generally expressed by
those who claimed to be conversant
with the Western mans peculiar tactics
that he voluntarily surrendered the con-
test. The $1,000 trophy was awarded to
Godfrey. The first exhibition of the
evening was the contest for points be-
tween George Godfrey, colored, heavy
weight, of Boston, and Patsy Cardiff, of
Minneapolis. Godfrey entered the ring
weighing 172 pounds, while the
Westerner tipped the beam at
Mahoney, of Boston. Godfrey's sec
onds were Badly Carroll and George
Bush. Those who performed like serv-
ice for Cardiff we're Dan Gill and Tom
Kelly. The combatants fought sixteen
rounds. Cardiff was remarkably clever
in lodging and avoiding punishment.
His left eye became completely closed
during the struggle. The men fought
at close quarters for the greater part of
the set-to. Godfrey assumed aggressive
tactics, standing right up to his man.
The Boston mans left eye was
d1scolored and his face was cut by the
powerful left hand blows delivered by
his adversary. Neither received any
body punishment, the objective point of
each being the others physiognomy. In
the sixteenth round the men came to-
gether at the word of time and clinched
near the ropes, when suddenly Cardiff
fell to the floor upon his face. He was
seized with nausea and suffering from
exhaustion. This closed the fight. The
81 200 trophy was bestowed upon God.
frey amid cheers from his supporters.
