What Ia TIP

Is it temperance, is it gospel, or i: it
life insurance? About a week ago two
Canadians came to the pastor and
trustees of the Ames NJ. +. Church,
representing themselves TO be gospel
temperance workers. They presented
Endorsements from a good Methodist
brother, showing the good work done
IN the cause OF temperance, and the
number OF penitents brought to the
altar. This was enough. They were
received With open arms, and gwen the
use OF the church. Temperance has
been presented from night 10 night,
the gospel has been seen IN the lis
tance, chained to the tail of temper.

The Reasons Given for Changing From
"uelIo" to "What Number"

The Reasons Given for Changing From
"uelIo" to "What Number"
The article that recently appeared in
the TELEGRAM-HEaALp, giving an ex-
position of the peculiar relation of the
word "hello" to the induction coil Of
the telephone, has beea made various
uses of by the press. One Detroit
paper copied some of the salient points
OF the article, and then switched Oft to
some unjust remarks on the conduct of
the Grand Rapids Telephone Exchange.
The TELEGRAM-HERALD had a brief
conversation last evening with W. j.
Berry, manager of the Telephone Ex-
change, relative to the recent change
from "hello" TO "what number"
"Your article" said Mr.. Berry, "was
scientifically just and correct. 1t in-
terested me so deeply that ! sent it to
tie home Office in Detroit. 1t was not
without some heartaches that we
discarded the old word; but We
did it through consideration
that must have escaped you when your
article was written. The change was
made III the interest of rapid service.
The telephone business is getting so
large that the saving of the fraction of
second in making connection is q
matter OF great moment. While it Is
true that the word hello has the ac-
coustcai strength you speak of, it also
has one draw back. As an initial form
of conversation, II does not encourage
directness, but rather tempts to the
multiplication of unnecessary words.
What the operator wants of the sub
scriber Is that he simply state the num-
Der wanted: nothing more; absolutely
nothing more. But the natural re-
sponse to hello is not the dlrectness
that is desirable. II encourages the
subscriber to prefer hisrequesi IN words
that are not necessary and that consume
valuable time. Now you can see that If
the operator ask What number there
il no other response to it but the simple
naming of the number wanted. You
Will also observe that the initial aspira-
ton of the word what contains some
of the accoustical elements that make
hello 40 appropriate word. In max
ing the change we have made, we have
gained a certain amount Of time in such
connection made, while we have not
lost ali that IS SD valuable IN the word
hello -

Effect Not Without Cause.

1t seems that some people have no
conception of the laws of cause and
effect; they marvel at the existing state
of affairs, apparently without the idea
once entering their leads, that il the
cause was inquired into, all mystery
would vanish from the object, and they
would at once see, with existing causes,
it is impossible for things to be other
wise than exactly as they are.
The question has been frequently
asked: "why is it cedar logs sell for
from a to s. more in Grays harbor than
Puget sound?" Referred to the laws Of
cause and effect, this is not an enigma
by any means. In tact the reasons for
this difference in price stands forth SO
plainly, it is wonder that any surprise,
whatever, shorld be manifested, only
that it is not greater. When it is taken
into consideration that the cedar Of
Grays Harbor and tributary streams is
superior in quality to that on the sound !;
that it is $50 miles nearer market, that
vessels loading at Aberdeen, the only
deep water port on the harbor, do not
have Tonnage bill of from $500 to $3.50
to pay, as do vessels going into or leaving
the sound, it would be surprising, in
deed, were the prices more uniform than
they now are. These facts are an inter
esting study for those thinking of estab-
fishing plants for manufacturing cedar or
other lumber, and are favorable disposed
toward the sound, without a thorough
investigation. An investigation will in
variabiy result in favor Of Grays harbor
as the place to be infinitely preferred,
and Aberdeen the location most to be
desired
