The Roumaniao Way.
Detroit Free Press.l

The two Roumanian cities, Galatz and BraIa
on the Danube, were lately connected by tels-
phone, which is, like the telegraph in that
country, an institution of the state. Before it's
opening an ordinance.of the Government for its
use was published in the official gazette, the
principal part of which is as follows:
"A person who wants to have intercourse
with another by telephone is bound TO notify
that person beforehand by letter, telegraph or
otherwise"
Mr. Kir Zaridi, in Braila, dealer in pro-
duce, was about to close contract for supply
of barley. He desired. however. to learn be-
forehand the price of barley quoted at the
board of trade in Galatz For that purpose he
went to the telephone office, and, after paying
the fee desired to get telephone connection
with Mr.. Pastramaki, his correspondent in
Galaiz.
Very well; have you informed Mr.. Pas
tramaki?"

"That would not do, sir. Here is the ordi-
nance. Before you can telephone to him you
must inform him beforehand by letter. tels-
graph, or in any other way.
NONSENSE Is the Government crazy? May
be they ask me to travel to Galatz and inform
him that on certain day and hour be may DO
at the telephone office to receive communiea-
ton from me?"
ayes, that would do too, {" the official said
Mr.. Kir Zaridi had to give up his barley
deal.

See XII. 8 90. But the statement in Ch.,
5: 6, is still stronger: Sacrificed sheep and
oxen which could not be told nor numbered for
multitude"
The difference is great, but we remember the
changed circumstances. One has said:
THE present was by contrast a day of small
things but we may be sure that this humber
sacrifice accepted according to their ability
and by virtue of the truly devout spirit in
which il was offered. for after great trial of
affection, the abundance of their joy and their
deep poverty abounded to the riches of their
liberality." q Cor, So
The commentator, Henry, says:
1.-THE sacrifices that were offered on this oc-
casion were not to be compared in number with
what had been offered at the dedication of Solo
mons Temple, but according to their present
ability they were accepted. These hundreds
were more to them than Solomon's thousands

IMPORTANCE OF THE COMMA.
The quairSin published IN prominent New
York newspaper contained misplaced comma,
which changed the sentence into nonsense as fol-
lows:
Seven dollars a month and 10 be shot al that
Is the common soldiers pay.
Place the second comma in the first line where
81 was originally written:
Seven dollars month. and 10 be shot at that
Is the common soldiers pay
and you convey the authors meaning make sense
and show bow extremely important even a little
comma be under certain conditions. Seven
dollars month would be Of little use TO a dead
soldier.
