note on page "A complaint that the

BELLS INVENTION.
The Telephone the Outgrowth OF
tempts to Aid His Mothers Hearing

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 cOu sin of Bells, 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 sound
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 afflicted, 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-
versation and to be understood. Bell
OI1Co w push LIS 1EV0nUlOA LII Eulu-
burgh 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 posi-
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.
Mr.. Bennett was strongly inclined to
think that the telephone had been spo-
ken of prophetically many thousand
years ago, and he instanced, among 9TH
er passages of the Scriptures, that in the
Psalms, describing how ''thoir line is
gone through all the earth and their
words to the end of the world" as hav-
ing decided telephone flavor. Chi.

Assimilation of Food.

Assimilation of food is best encour-
aged by work. Digestion is not assmi-
lation. Food may be digested and taken
into the blood and yet not assimilated,
because there is no activity to encourage
it. If muscle is to be built up, there
must be tearing down of muscle first;
if there is no tissue of the brain torn
down, there can be no building up pro-
cess. If we work hard with brain or
muscle, using up great deal of force,
nature goes to work in the hours of re-
cuperation to build the brain and the
muscle little stronger than it was be-
fore, so every days expenditure will re-
quire the assimilation of little more
food. Bat if there is no demand, nature
will not undertake the task. Some
times when one has an extra strong
stomach and liver, he will be able to
make fatty tissue, which will not add to
strength, out of food digested in idle
ness. Assimila ton is the power that
different parts of the body possess of
building up structure like their own out
of material furnished by the blood;
muscle has the power to make muscles
and nerves have the power to make
nerves, etc.-Dr. j. K. kellogg, of Bat
tie Creek Sanitarium, in Parlor Lect-
ure.

One Way to Cure a Toothache.

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. 1t
is offered by DR.. Lambert, of New
York, who says he has tested it with
good results:
He took a silver half-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 Y. Voice.

GIANTS OF THE FOREST.


Some Interesting Points About the Enor-
nous Trees of California.
There are ten groups of Sequoia gil
gantea in the Sierra Nevada mountains,
and the descriptions of most of them are
found in the writings of Muir, Whitney
and Clarence King. Beginning at the
north these groups are named as follows:
The Calaveras grove the South Calaver-
as grove. the Tuolumne grove, the
MERGED grove, the Mariposa grove, the
Fresno grove, the Dinky grove, the
Kings River grove, the New Kings
River grove, and the large Kaweah
grove. The latter consists of a number
OF small sequoia forests extending over
belt of country five miles wide and
fifty miles long. 1t is IN this region
that the Kaweah colony of solists have
secured most of the timber lands and
are now building large mills 1t is not
probable that in ten years any of these
ten forests groups will remain except
the Calaveras groves, and perhaps one
or two other small groups, now used as
summer resorts, unless Immediately
steps are taken to prevent the further
filings of timber ella inns. The records at
the land-office show that in the past
twenty months 121 $50 acres of heavily
timbered land have been bought from
the Government much of it obtained by
systemat C evasion of the laws. Much
of this land has been taken up along the
western slope of the Sierra Nevada, and
includes most of the Sequoia gigantea
districts. The Calaveras grove covers
fifty acres and contains ninety-three
large trees. One tree in 1854 was
stripped of its bark to a height of
thirty feet by a man who thought he
could make fortune exhibiting it. The
speculation fortunately failed, or the
grove would have been ruined by SINH
lar enterprises This tree is estimated
to contain 537, 900 feet of marketable
lumber, and stands 1926 feet in height,
girthing eighty-four feet without the
bark. A fallen tree was about 400 feet
in height and the circumference of the
trunk near the base is ITO feet The
South grove contains $50 sequoias of
good size-some very large. One of the
largest of the standing trees in these
Calaveras groves is the Grizzly Giant,
thirty-three feet in diane ter near the
ground. There is tree in the Kaweah
region that is thirty-six feet in dame
ter, and there may be even larger ones.
The giant sequoia yields seeds in
such abundance (Mr. Bradley counting
S24 seeds in small cone), and the
vitality Of fresh seed is so uniform that
millions of trees could be grown and
planted on the mountain slopes of Cali
fornia. In the Sacramento San Joaquin,
Sonora, Santa Clara and other large
valleys the tree thrives without espe-
cial care. In most places it has grown
faster than the sempervirens. If the
State were to undertake to reforest the
waste lands the giant sequoia would
offer one of the best trees for that pur-
pose. The reason why it now grows
only in such isolated and small groups,
instead of in extensive forests, is be-
cause it's small light seeds can not east
ly root themselves on the dry, leaf
covered soil of the region. The climate
has changed; the tree is slowly disap-

THE SHAFTS DAUGHTERS.
Eight of Them Have Succeeded in Maxim,
Good Matches.

Eight Of Them Have Succeeded in Making
Good Matches.
The Shah became father at the age
OF sixteen years, wherefore his eldest
children are now we'll advanced in life.
His eldest daughter is nearly forty-five
years old and is called the Glory of
Kings. She married the son of the mas
ter of the mint, one of the richest men
in Persia. When the master died, how
ever, the Shah took possession of the
bulk of his fortune. Naturally the SON.
in-law felt himself ill-treated. and fail
ing to obtain any redress, he left Persia
and went to Paris. There he distin-
guished himself by the utter reckless
ness of his career, until his imperial
father-in-law for very shame recalled
him and gave him what was left of his
inheritance. He had previously been
married to the adopted daughter of
Nine. Hadji Abbas, a clever French
woman, whom Hadji Abbas, the court
painter, married in Paris and took to
Teheren, at the request of the ladies of
the harem, to teach them the European
fine art of millinery, The second daugh-
ter of the Shah, called the Light of the
Empire, is the wife of General Yusuf
Khad. Number three and four. the
Pride of the Empire and the Purity of
Empire, are married, the one to a high
court official, the other to the chief
priest of Teheran. All the eight grown
up daughters of the Shah, indeed, have
made good matches.
They have, perhaps, made better
matches than their husbands. For il is
not altogether profitable to be son-in-
law of the Shah. A Princess spends
much, and her carriages and runner, her
many servants and the lavish entertain
ments she is obliged TO give to other
Processes generally cost much more
than the &c. 900 per annum which the
Shah gives as dowry. The Shah. too
is more apt to take any thing from
son-in-law than from stranger or a
person not related to him, and another
drawback is that the husband of Shah's
daughter loses more or less of his lib
erty, can not take other wives and must
do as his wife pleases. The only one.
perhaps, of the Shah's sons-in-law who
has kept his liberty is the chief priest
OF Teheran. He is able to bring relip-
ion to bear on the subject; can possibly
justify any thing he does by the Koran
and traditions, and has the clergy with
their enormous influence to back him
up.-London Letter.

THE cold in a Gold Dollar.

Director Leach, of the mint, thus
writes to the Philadelphia North Amer
lean: 'The amount of pure silver in
the standard silver dollar has not been
changed since we first began coming.
The quantity of pure gold to the dollar,
as fixed by the act of 1872, was "a IS
grains, the ratio in coinage being Is to 1.
By the act of June %, 1884, the pure
gold was reduced from BATS to 90 20
grains to the dollar. the ratio between
gold and silver in coinage being to
16.002. By the act of January 18, 1887,
the fiDeness of the gold coins was in
creased about three-fourths of one thou
sandth by changing from standard of
.899225 to 900, which increased the pure
gold in a dollar from 1920 to o. %
grains. at which it has remained up to
the present time. The ratio between
the two metals in coinage was fixed by
this act at to 15.9ss, at which it still
remains"
