A Carolina Mountains Romance.

From Tomatola, N. G., comes the story
of the marriage of Alpheus Badham and
Mrs. Crawling. Mrs. Grayling's hus.
band had been dead but few months
and her new husband is one whom she
had long mourned as dead.
When the war broke out she lived near
Raleigh, where Grayling and Badham
had been her neighbors and admirers.
Both went to the front, but the lady be
came the wife of Badham before his de
parture. When hostilities ceased Gray
ling returned, but could give no account
of his companion, who must have faller
in battle. Later, feeling assured thai
her husband was dead, Mrs. Badham be
came the wife of Grayling, and the cou
pie removed to Tomatola, where they
purchased farm.
Badham had been taken prisoner, ant
after his release from Camp Morton lin
gered in the north. Lately he longed tt
zee his wife, and, returning, traced hel
to the home where she had become thu
mother of large family by another
maL.-Cor. Atlanta Constitution.

The London and Paris Telephopes

The very unsatisfactory state of the
London telephone service has resulted in
the formation of subscribers associa-
ton for the purpose of securing better
service and more satisfactory rates. In
this connection there is some possibility
OF the postofice running telephone ex-
change of its own. The London-Paris
telephone line now transmits about fifty
conversations per day. Since the rates
for three minute conversation are two
dollars, the lowest possible revenue of
the company is 500 per day, and it is
fair to assume that many customers ex-
coed the three minute limit, and thus
raise the average toll per essage.-Bos-
ton Transcript.

ten years to acquire as much lSnowi-
edge as the average hearing child can
acquire Ia five years. 1t takes five
years OF schooling TO put them on the
same level with hearing children when
they begin school. The cause of this
is plain. They have no means OF COM
munication until they come to school
at ten years of age. The deaf mutes
who have graduated at the National
college have obtained various positions
of honor. Many of them have be-
come teachers of the deaf. Two are
professors in the National college.
Some are clerks under the govern
ment.
There are several missionaries and
confirmed ministers of the gospel.
There are several editors of influential
papers and four editing papers for the
deaf. Some of them are writer's for
newspapers and few are poets.
There is'one botanist, two practical
chemists; four clerks in the depart.
ments of Washington and eight clerks
in the United States departments,
custom houses and postoffices. There
is also one famous patent lawyer
in Chicago. Others have become
able, shrewd and prosperous business
men. One connected with a printing
establishment in st. Louis has &C.
crmulated a fortune of $500, 900.
Many deaf mutes who were educated
at the state institutions are doing we'll.
A large number of them are printers
This shows what deaf mutes can do if
given chance with hearing persons.
Deaf mutes like each others society
better than the society CT hearing peo-
pie. but by associating with hearing
people they can learn more than
among themselves.
Some of or prominent ednca-
tors and scientists are now debating
whether deaf mutes should marry
among themselves. think that they
should be allowed to do as they please.
The danger of a deaf mute offspring
from the marriage of two deaf mutes is
hardly greater than from the marriage
OF one deaf mute and one hearing per-
son. and that is very slight.
The education of the deaf is scarcely
more than a century old. but they are
making their way against the obstacles
which their condition throw around
them and against the prejudices of the
world.

a steal. cutt!nx saw !.

General Manager Pctter Of The Rolne-
stead mills of Carnegie Brothers & 90.
has invented cold saw for the purpose
of saving iron and steel, which has
proved gren, success, and is creating
considerable interest. For some years
an instrument has bee in use known as
the hot saw-that is, 1t could only cut
metal that had been heated to redness,
but it is not equal to the new saw
brought out by Mr.. Potter. The hot
saw leaves burr on one edge, but the
new cold saw does clean, smooth work
and is not very expensive.
A reporter had talk with gentle
man who had seen the saw at work a
short time ago, and secured from him
the following description Of the new in
vention: The instrument itself is simply
circular saw of fine steel, tempered
somewhat hard, and about one-quarter
of an inch in thickness at the periphery.
1t is ground slightly thinner at it's center
to clear itself easier in deep cut. 1t is
made to revolve at a slow speed, while
the old hot saw was run at high rate
of speed, and did its work by means of
She intense friction created rather than
by the teeth. 1t cuts but one inch a
minute.
The machine differs from the ordinary
circular saw in this respect, that it is
not the work that moves up to the saw,
but the work is fixed stationary and the
saw is made to travel along the table
through it. 1t is driven by a worm
wheel and screw of some four or five
feet in length, along which it can be
moved easily by hand screw gear or by
self acting feed gear The saw runs in
tank of solution, and the greatest care
is necessary in regard to the quality of
the materials ce this solution. 1t is
made up of ten pounds Of whale oil soap,
fifteen pounds of sal soda, two gallons Of
lard oil, with water added to make forty
gallons of mixture. The new saw will
be used in cutting the armor plates for
the government the proper size.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

Perhaps the queerest lawsuit on record
-one that deserves place in the legal
records of Georgia that which was
recently decided in Morgan county. A
drummer hired mule and buggy to go
into the country. The mule became con-
trary and backed the buggy in the fence
jam. The drummer piled whip and the
mule kicked back The mud flew, but
the drummer held his own.
When patience ceased to be a virtue
the commercial gentleman drew from his
pocket Smith & Wesson howitzer and
killed the long cared source of danger.
The owner of the mule brought suit
against the drummer for the value of his
quadruped, whereupon the jury brought
in the following verdict: 1--WE, the jury,
find the defendant not guilty, and the
killing case of UNSUITABLE homicide."-
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.

Society works hard over its seasons
pleasures. 1t crowds great deal of ex-
element into the interval between the
dinner at or half-past 8 o'clock and its
supper at midnight, so that this meal is
a consideration to it. Women seldom
dine heavily with the anticipation Of
several functions before them. Often
they have been worried and furried to
get dressed in time. So, when they have
heard part of an opera, been to recep-
ton and looked in at dance, they be-
gin to be conscious of that vacuum
which nature abhors. At some few
houses in town the art Of supper giving,
even at big dances, is rightly compre-
hended, and guests are not beguiled into
trying all manner of beautiful looking
dishes which taste odious.
AS rule, however, the little suppers
given by men at swagger restaurants,
and such of their clubs as so far indulge
the members feminine belongings, are
the pleasantest. Private house suppers,
except on rare occasions, are unsatisfac-
tory The staff of servants is small and
human. 1t must have some sleep, and
so the food is usually cold. At rich
clubs and very swell restaurants a new
set of servants are turned on fresh for
the midnight meal, who may take their
rest for the greater part of the day if il
so please them.-London Cor. Chicago

Don't Demand the Earth.

If you go to the country don't look for
all the city conveniences. There is a
vague idea that country people pay little
or nothing for many things; therefore
the stranger expects great deal for a
small expenditure. While it is quite
true that the actual cost Of living is
much less on farm than in town, still
there are items of expense greater in the
country. City Improvements when graft
ed on country life become expensive lux
uries, just as irreproachable cream, but
ter and eggs are the most costly items Of
city housekeeping. We would feel just
ly hurt if some farmer folk boarding in
our New York home should expect a
large tennis court, quantities of flowers,
fruit and rich milk without seeing that
these made drain upon the household
finances. So exercise little common
sense yourself. Ladies Home Journal.
