r-hephenes atSthe worlds, Fair.

A telephone exchange having, ut is now
thought, about 600 Instruments, will be es-
tablished in the Worlds fair grounds. OF
this number about twenty-five will be toll
telephones, which viii be distriipRted con-
veniently about the grounds to besused by
any one upon payment of IA small fee; some
800 will be far.exclusive use by tha exposi-
tion officials and employees, and ithe re-
mainder will be for commercial pnrposes.
It is the intention of ethe telephone COM
pany to establish at, at,theexposition the best
exchange in the eworld.
Only the most perfect Instruments and
metallic circuits will be used. The long
distance copper Lines to Ghis city wal be
completed by the time the fair opens,i and
connections will be made directly with
this line at jackson park, independents of

pected that through long distance tale

Male mortality in New orleans.

There seems to be something pretty
serious the matter with the :men of New
Orleans. There are l5,0O0more women
than men there; nevertheless five men
die to every four women. The trouble
comes between the ages of twenty-one
and fifty. Between the ages Of thirty
and fifty the ratio of mortality is nearly
two men to one woman. Among whites
and blacks the same curious state Of
things prevails. The doctors cannot ex-
plain why it happens SO, bat it is evil
dent that there is going to be corner
in males in New Orleans unless some
one finds out. The excess of women be-
gan after the war, and has been increas-
ing ever since. and especially during the
lasttwelve years.-Atlanta Constitution.

A Cruel Stroke.

An instance of laboriously prodnoed
effect being effaced by the simplest means
was that of breach of promise case.
The barrister who held the brief for in
jured beauty was famous for studying eff
fec5 when he pleaded, and to that end ar
ranged that his fair client should be so
placed that her charms should be well
under the observation of the jury. He he
galra most pathetic appeal by directing
their attention to her beauty, and calling
for justice upon the head of him who could
wound the heart and betray the confidence
of one so fair, concluding with perOration
of such pathos as to melt the court to tears.
The counsel for the defendant then rose,
and after paying the lady the compliment
of admitting that it was impossible not to
assent bo the encomiums lavished upon her
face, he added that nevertheless he felt
bound 10 ask the jury not to forget that
she wore a wooden leg. Then he sat down.
The important fact, of which the fair
plaintiffs counsel was unaware, was pres
emily established, and the jury, feeling
rather sheepish at their tears, assessed
damages at the smallest amount.

Fertilizers for Lawns.

The very common practice of covering
city lawns with barnyard manure is dis
agreeable alike to the occupants of the
home as we'll as passers by. Q. M.
Hooker thinks that it is very queer, after
taking SO much time and labor to make
q good green lawn eight months of the
year, the contents of the barnyard should
be dumped upon it to remain there the
rest of the twelvemonth. He affirms
that if the owners who do this should
practice instead dressing their lawns
with unbleached ashes and nitrate of
soda it would keep fertility and offend

a Monkeys Revenge.

The following anecdote clearly illustrates
the reasoning powers of the monkey tribe:
One was kept tied to stake in the sub
urbs of Havana, in place where he was
repeatedly robbed of his food by crows
One day he lay still on the ground, pre-
tending to be dead. The crows were al
lowed to steal to their hearts content un-
til the artful siinian was sure they were
in reach. Instantly De grabbed one by the
leg, and, despite its loud calls for help,
literally plucked every feather from the
luekless bird and then flung it toward it's
screaming companions. Louis Re-
