A Limit to Long Distance Telephoning.
The telephone, even when first
brought out, was a marvel of SIM
plicity and effectiveness. When we
consider that by its means we may
converse with and even recognize
the voice of person distant from us
considerable fraction Of the earth S
circumference, we cannot fail to be
impressed with the wonder of it.
Can we, however, anticipate such an
extension of the power of the tele-
phone that we may at some time use
an ocean cable as the line over which
speech is to be conveyeda
To answer this question in the
negative would be to set limit to
the capacity of the human intellect
to make future advances; neverthe-
less there are reasons which are
cogent enough tending to point to
the impracticahility of telephone
Transmission through cables of great
length. In such cases a retardation
and an obliteration of the delicate
pulses of current which characterize
electrical speech serve to prevent
the reception of speech at the far
end of the ine.-Professor Elihu
Thomson in New England Magazine.

WHO KNOWS.

Who knows we have not lived before
In forms that felt delight and pain?
II death Is not the open door
Through which pass TO life againl
The fruitful seed beneath the sod
In infant bud and bloom may rise;
But by the eternal laws of God
IL is not Quickened till it dies.
The leaves that tremble on the tree
Fall meath the stroke of autumn s storms;
But. by some mighty mystery,
With spring return in other FORMS
As currents of the surging sea
From undiscovered sources flow.
So what we were and yet may be.
In this brief life we may not know.
But oft some unexpected CLEANS
OF past and aforementioned years
Break through the doorway of our dreams
And some familiar face appears:
4 gentle spirit, lost awhile
Amid the change from death to birth,
Whose beaming eye and loving smile
Recall some former scenes of earth
And thus unconscious of the tie,
The mystic link that love creates,
Perhaps we see our own who die.
In newer forms and other states.
Perhaps with every cycle passed
In all the ages yet to be,
Our loved will come to US at last.
AS parted waters find the sea;
Not wholly clad as they were seen
When death unbound their robes of clay,
But with seraphic face and mien,
And souls that cannot pass away.
David Banks Sickels in New York Sun,
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1892-08-11

I'm the Cheering up Business" con-
tainS the brave conclusion reached
by a young girl who so persistently
tries to bring sunshine into the lives
of others that she finally becomes
known as the Joy giver'
If there is only one thing in life
which is bright AID pleasant she
said, that 1 mean to hold fast; and
if there isn't such thing, I'll make
it. I'll be it myselfl''
Perhaps she was helped in her
hearty and healthy way of taking
life by the remark of an old doctor,
who had called to see another mem
Der of the family and asked:
whats the matter with her now2"
"Oh." said the young girl. 81 sup
pose it's her nerves.
"Nervesl nerves" cried the doctor,
seemingly in an alarming rage.
MY dear young lady, I adjure you
by all your hopes of happiness, don't
let that word get into your vocabu-
larry There's no such thing! Indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, if you like, but
not nerves.
That he was fond of exaggeration,
no one can doubt; still the lesson he
would have taught was a sensible
one. When we allow ourselves
moods of i'll temper or weakness be-
cause we are nervous, then we
need to remember that the soul Is
stronger than the body. We need
to look about us and see whether or
not we can make some one else
happy.
For" says the little heroine who
became a joy giver, IF one is really
disposed to bring people good cheer
it is wonderful to see what frequent
opportunities there are. One might
make it a business

HsMMED IN BY A PRAIRIE FIRE.

An Experience That Is Burned Into a

lone night I camped on a small
tributary of the Middle Loup. 1t
was small, spring fed rivulet, des-
titute of timber and almost hidden
by the rank grass. I had not slept
long when I was awakened by the
neighing of my horse, and was hor-
rifed to find the prairie to the south
of me afre and a strong wind sweep

miles north, but before half the dis

foot in hole, fell and broke leg.
THE fire hemmed me in by semi

I have heard that men brought face
to face with death remember every
evil deed of their lives, but simply

watched the sublime spectacle. felt
that my doom was sealed and delib-
erately waited for it. Suddenly a
new danger confronted me. A vast
herd of buffalo flying before the fire

teen years on the plains and had
many close calls, but that midnight

The Tone of Machinery.

Engineers judge of the condition
of their machinery by the tone it
gives out while running. Every en-
CINE, whether stationary or locomo-
tive, has a particular tone of its own.
The engineer becomes accustomed to
that, and any departure from it at
once excites a suspicion that all is
not right The engineer may not
know what is the matter, he may
have no ear for music, but the
change in the tone of his machine
will be instantly perceptible, will be
instantly recognized and will start
him ON an immediate investigation

A Hand organ Represents Capital.

In little shop on Elizabeth street,
just around the corner from Grand
and in the very heart of the Italian
quarter, may be found the head
quarters in this country for the
manufacture Of barrel organs, street
pianos and carousal organs Ranged
on either side of the room are instru-
ments of all patterns and values
brought in for tuning or repairing,
while their owners stand lazily about
smoking cigarettes, nibbling raw
onion and jabbering in their fasci-
mating tongue with each other.
Against the wall at the end of the
room hangs a card which declares in
the Italian that Organs are tuned
while you wait" and tia is inn
pressed upon the visitor by the
active movements of the two young
men who do the work and the monOt-
onous sounds they make in doing it.

Thank you. Good day." and one of
the proprietors of this primitive little
organ factory helped a fat, sleepy
looking Neapolitan hoist a 60-pound
barrel organ on his little round
shouldered back with remarkable
ease and facility.
'sWhat does an instrument like
that costa"
'"That one cost 500 when new,
and it is a good one, for I made it.
We have them, though, for eighty
five dollars, and from that up to

weight, the range is from thirty to
seventy-five pounds for the old fash
toned barrel organ, while the pianos
weigh much more. New York

japan Clover,

The Japan clover is spreading all

troduced there, nobody knows how,
during the latter years of the war,
and has since then become so com
mon that its appearance in any local
lily attracts no attention Nobody
knows how it spreads. 1t appears
mysteriously in place where it was
never seen before, and where it is diff
fcult to explain how the seeds could
have come. 1t grows luxuriantly
and answers all the purposes of COM

ferent grasses and almost all kinds of

LES ,ON IN SWIMMlNG.

The first thing to be done is to learn
to duck without minding it. Hold your
breath and put your head under water
several times whenever you battle. You
may probably strangle bit at first, but
the ducking will become less disagree
able, until the disinclinatiOn to 60 un-
der water nearly or quite disappears.
OF course the bather need not make a
martyr of himself by spending his whole
time in the practice of ducking. He
may splash about as much as he likes.
Some acquire the necessary Indifference
to being under water at once. When
it is acquired, let the bather select a
place where the water is just deep en-
ough for him to sit upon the bottom
with head and shoulders out of the
water. Then let him take full breath,
distending the lungs, and placing his
arms by his side, lie down OH his back
on the bottom. If unsuccessful, par
TALLY expel the air from the lungs and
try again. And having found out by
actual experiment how easy it is to lie
down on your back under water, go
out to the full length of your rope, and
holding your breath, pull yourself in
toward the shore, hand over hand, not
letting your feet touch bottom on any
account until your breath runs out or
you run around. No matter whether
you 60 under or not, no matter whether
you keep yourself right side up or not,
go right on hauling yourself toward the
shore, hand over hand, till your each
shoal water. When you can run your
self ashore with ease and certainly you
will probably have discovered that most
of the passage is made at or near the
surface of the water, and possibly you
will have learned after a fashion to
keep your balance and pull yourself
ashore with your nose atove water.
When you can do this you can breathe
through your nose during the passase,
and as soon as you can breathe COM
, fortably while hauling yourself ashore
you are ready for the next step-name-
Iy, try to pull yourself ashore using one
hand for the rope and padding with
the other hand. This is not very easy
thing to do, and in all probability be-
fore you accomplish it you will find
yourself padding with both hands and
kicking with both feet-that is to say,
swimming. AS soon as you find that
you can keep yourself right.side up,
and your eyes and nose aboH water,
you have learned the great secret, and
swimming with the most approved and
scientific stroke will follow according
to your opportunities and ambition.
