Talking by, or through the wires is
now admitted to be by far the most
sure and expeditions way of commune
eating with persons at a distance on
business, pleasure or for any purpose
whatever.
For sometime past much talk has
been INDUCED in about having tele-
phone connecting Providence with dis
liant points above and below, but thus
far nothing material in relation to the
matter has been done. Those who
have had more or less experience in
telephoning state that the project is
perfectly feasible, at very reasonable
cost, and would be regarded as invalu-
able as matter of saving time and ex-
pense when once established, by all
business men aud the community gen.
orally.
Our intense desire to see Providence
keep up the march of progress she has
started upon, with her ice factory aud
electric lights prompts us to talk tele-
phone in this brief mention, and ask
all those who are deeply Interested in
speedy communication to think and
act at an early day.

A good-by kiss is q little thing
With your haud on the door TO go,
But II takes the venom oat the sting
OF n thoughtlcss word or a cruel ding
That you made an hour ago.
A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare
After the toll of the day,
And II smooths the furrows ploughed by
care,
The lines on your forehead you once called
fair,
In the years that have iowa away.
'2Is little thing to say "Yon are kind,
love you. my dear" each night,
But It sends thrill through the heart, l

For love is tender aS love il blind,
As we climb lifes rugged height.
We starve each other for loves caress,
We take. but We do not give;

But we dole the love grudingly, less and

formerly powdered and used in doses
of three or four grains to correct acid

"What is your name?r
"a. H. Anderson" was the reply.
"My initials and surname exactly"
returned the Captain.
"My full name Is Ambrose Eltinge

Almost dumfounded. he found
that the Captains name was the

The same afternoon an elderly lady
boarded the Mary Powell at New

she handed in her ticket, that her
name was Mary Powell also. Upon
carefully inspecting the ticket with
the Captains name upon it, she con-
tinued:

PREMONITIONS,

Do soldiers have premonitions of their
death before going to battle! Yes | think
that they do, an numerous cases have been
cited truthfu!iy that occurred during the
late civil war. 1 will relate the following
incident, which came under my personal
observation. and which seems clear case of
premonition that soldiers are impressed with
a strong forcboding that they are to meet
death in battle, and invariably it has proved
true.
My regiment during the afternoon of Nav

and Spottsylvania turnpike and through the
gap in the stone wall on to the historical
Harris Farm, taking position upon a rolling
interval of ground south of the Harris Man.

rested for a short time, the first battalion
resting on the right, with the Sd battalion
resting ON the left, near a strip of woods.

would be one.

ders much better than u knife or an

UNKNOWN PORTION or THE BULLOCK.
Physicians and chemists are con-
tinuaily telling us that the cheaper cuts
of beef possess more real rutritiyc
value than those which are called of
the first quality; and yet few house,
keepers have sufficient courage to
lessen their butchers bills by buying
the less expensive portions. There
are several reasons for this "a lack of
courage, an insufficient knowledge of
culinary art, and, moro than anything
else, a disinclination to change what
Is known for the unknown. But whca
it is considered that a "primc bull
lock" weighs about 1000 pounds, anu
that what is called first quality"
meat weigh, only lS0, it will be
readily seen that there Ia II large guam
,ity of the animal that is never known
to the average housewife.
What lady, for example, is familiar
with such portions as "the chuck
"ihc rump." .fhe shank" "he flank"
"phe plate" aud "the clod;' aud yet
these portions are rs nutritious, and,
if properly cooked, as desirable as
those which command much higher
rrices. A flank steak, for instance, is
extremely good. "Chuck" ribs,
which come under the shoulder blade,
are as good for boiling or braising ms
what is usually called crib roast"

FELL-STREET SEWER SYSTEM.
Another Meeting of the Buena Vista I'm
DrOYemanf Club.

Another Meeting of the Buena Vista I'm
provement Club.
The Buena Vista Improvement Club held
another meeting last night at Fillmore and
Hermann streets. c. L. Dunshee was in the
chair and there was large attendance.
The committee reported that only those
property-owners who contributed toward
the defense fund of the Fell-street sewer
system would be legally protected. Their
attorney would be furnished with a de-
scriptiOn of every lot and the names of the
owners, and only those would be defended.
This was the agreement With Attorney
MhooD.
The committee further reported that
S296 had been collected during the past
week from 25-f0ot lOt-OwDers in the sewer
district, and that an Office had been opened
at 5O5 Haight street 10 receive subscriptions
daily.
1t was stated that Thomas Magee real
estate expert. would in his monthly circu-
lar point out the injustice of the city in COM
pelllng property-Owners TO build 3x5 brick
sewer, then accept it. keep 1t in repair for
eight years, and finally tear IL out for "a
blocks, and replace 1t by larger one, and
then attempt to force them to bear the cost
OF the latter. The city itself should bear
the entire cost of the larger sewer.
IL was also stated that Mr.. AshwOrth, ex-
Superintendent OF Streets, had declared the
3x5 sewer had been accepted by the city
AMI kept In repair by bis Office and he had
advised that not dollar toward the new
sewer should be paid by the property
owners, the building of which, he held, was
Illegal. The secretary was instructed to
make a note of this information and have
1t used in the courts.
