You Can Have Your own Central.
The latest device to facilitate COM
munication between different depart
ments of large business establishments
Is a miniature telephone, exchange. The
system is installed after exactly the
same principle as an exchange covering
wide city area. Each desk to be put
in connection has its own instrument,
which is in principle the same thing as
the full grown telephone, but is Of min
iature size. The receiving or hand in
strument, however, is not of the long
shape with cylindrical handle, familiar
everywhere nowadays, but Is simply y
fiat disk resembling one of the earliest
forms of telephone, of which few were
seen in the infancy of the invention.
The central office" is put in small
closet or inclosure at some convenient
point, and is operated by a boy who has
nothing else to do.
There are dozen or so connections,
according TO the size of the installation
and the needs of the Office This ex-
change is operated upon precisely the
same principle, though of course on u
smaller scale and with less complication.
as central office in city exchange.
The ring of any of the connected tele-
phones causes numbered disk on
switchboard to fall when the boy makes
the desired connection and releases 1t
when the talk is finished. In large and
busy establishments, where every de-
partment must be connected with every
other for frequent communication, this
telephone exchange system does away
with large number of cumbrous speak
ing tubes and insures quicker and

DeIicate TvroIean Handiwork.

A curious plaque work is done at Cor
TIM, in the Tyrol, of marvelonsly fine
silver thread aud tiny pieces Of gold.
The men and women employed at it
work with strong magnifying glasses
and small pincers, with which they some
times fit into single tiny leaf no larger
than currant 100 pieces of metal. The
odd thing about it is that men working
in this way have more delicate manipu-
Iation than women, which bears out the
dictum of the chiromancists, who de-
clare that large hands are best for de-
tail. small ones for breadth of effect -

Killed the Cat.

Several years. ago farmer and his

a kitchen table in storm. A cat was
lying beside them ON the floor near the

whirled the table about ~ s,u; injur-

Who was the father of pharaohs
daughter? What was his name? The
word pharaoh was simply title. and
the phrase ''pharaoh's daughter" gives
no more information than the kings

Three pharaohs of the name of Thot-

and two of the name of Rameses have
had their names advocated to be the
father of the princess who rescued the

The coalpoclets or schutes through
which coal is loaded into canal boats
at Coalport, the head of the Lehigh
Canal, two miles above Mauch Chunk,
are to be entirely rebuilt and remod-
eled, The contract for the work has
been awarded by the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company to e. S. Whitney,
a well-known contractor of Allentown,
who has already begun the work, but
it will not be actively prosecuted until
the boating season closes. 1t is an all

to a large number of men, at a cost OF
many thousands Of dollars.
sit is Il settled fact that a new
court house and the several Offices at.
tached, will be built next year, says the
I Weatherly Herald. The site has moi
yet been selected, but likely the coun
ty seat will remain at Mauch Chunk
and the new court house mLl offices
stand where the present ones are. The
grand jury for the last dozen years
have recommended a new house Of
justice, and the fact is readily seen 10y
any one acquainted with the present
structure, that new one is badly
needed. In building, let the commits
sioners put up q modern structur,
that will be a credit to the county
However do not follow the Schuylllil
commissioners in charges" We dom
know where the Herald gets its infor
nation. but new and modern struc
ture is needed very badly.
