His Solemn Oath.

A popular comedian tells story of a
waiter at London restaurant who was
sadly given to drink. A party Of young
men determined to reform him, and one
day they read to him an imaginary par
agraph from paper relating terrible
accident in which an inebriate in blow
ing out candle was killed by the flame
igniting the alcoholic fumes of his
breath. James pricked up his ears at
this. and requested that the paragraph
might be read to him again, which was
done, to the evident horror Of the poor
man, who Immediately went in search
of Bible.
Returning with this. he expressed a
desire to take solemn oath upon it, be-
moaned the fact that he had been a sorry
tippler and was bringing himself to
ruin, and then swore that never again
so long as he lived would he attempt to
blow out a candle. Million.

the result, even though he may not be
especially DESTROYS Of holding Office In
other countries, too, the recipient Of the

is apt to swell with pride over the ont
come Of the voting, but there is case
on record in Japan where the winner at
the polls was not only sorry for his sue
cess, but came through that success sub
sequently to wish he had never been
born. This was in the village of Ava.
and the person honored, or dishonored.
by the majority vote was a Jap of the
name of Abb Tanihei.
1t seems that the village of Ava was
harrassed by midnight robber whom
nobody could detect. The head of the
hamlet summoned the entire male pop
ulation under his charge and directed
every man TO write the name of the per
son whom he suspected and TO deposit
the paper in box. Fifteen ballots bore
the name Of Abb Tanihei, the rest being
blanks. The man whom everybody dis
trusted was so much overcome with as
constituent that he made full confess

THE FIRST BUTTERFLY.

Bright futterer, with golden name,
Freckled from gentle dun to fame,
How hast thou dared TO venture out
Ere the buds begin to sprout?
When underneath the sheltering bower
Arbutus hath not shown her flower,
Creeping from the modest moss,
With her brilliant leaves of gloss;
When as yet within the brook
Leaves lie pressed as in book,
Held within the Ice Kings arms
Clesped about their frozen charms;
Why vert thou not wise TO wait
Till King Frost should abdicateY
Till the bluebirds pipe in tune.
Till the May looks on toward June.
Till the dandcliOn's yellow
Lends the lawn a radiance mellow
These few hours VI sunshine warm
May prelude a fatal storm,
Bringing frost or bringing snow:
Where, then, frail one, wilt thol go7

What Makes Telephones Dear.

Telephone charges in our cities are
high because the American Bell Tele-
phone company steadily increases its
capital, its royalties and its profits and
to much less degree because of the ex-
penses or profits of the local organization
with which the customer deals.
The local companies are by no means
worked as charities or managed for the
benefit of the public Quite the con
trary. The Bell Telephone company of
Philadelphia pays and has paid for years
past steady ~ per cent on its capital
Of 1856, 900, all cash as to local subscrip-
tons 1t had accumulated in 1891, after
ten years, a surplus Of 1851 1894, and ii
put $414.951 Of this into underground
conduits and the loss incident to the
change. Since the year ending Decem-
Der 81, 1856, when the company began
its regular quarterly dividend of per
cent it has just about doubled its bust
ness, advancing its gross receipts, AZ
nearly as can be made out from its very
inadequate reports, from $3J0,412 in the
calendar year 1886 TO G.534 in the year
ending June 30. 1891.
This is very fair prosperity. Divi-
dends of IL per cent, an addition Of SOL
1876 to surplus and $4i4,05l put into
plant in five years on an original invest
ment of 100000 is certainly such re-
turn as would satisfy most. But this Is
simply nothing TO the march of the par
