The PROFIT In Foam.

Some people deplore the use Of foam
ing preparations in soda water, claiming
that such additions are totally uncalled
for and unwarranted but it must never
theless be conceded that soda foam can
bring forward several valid arguments
in its own favor. In the first place, il
aids greatly in keeping the gas from es-
Gaping 300 rapidly from the tumbler. ls
the second place, it undoubtedly adds
greatly TO the dispensers profits, for it is
claimed that by adding two ounces of
foaming- preparation to a gallon Of sirup
the confectioner can draw 90 more glasses
than without the foam.
Thirdly, we must remember that the
appearance of any article of food or
drink plays fully as important part as
its taste in increasing the appetite and
stimulating the gastric secretions, and
when we bear all these facts in mind we
shall be inclined to look upon the snowy
foam with more leniency And, indeed,
however we may look at it, there is no
denying the fact that it has come to stay.
and to stay probably for a considerable
period Of time, so we must make the best
we can of the NATTER Thomas War

words In the Telephone.

Long distance telephoning has become
a little science on its own account and
has called into existence n class of oper-
ators who are valuable by reason Of the
clearness and sharpness with which they
can pronounce words while speaking
rapidly.
It has also developed the fact that the
French language is better adapted to the
purposes of the telephone than the Eng
lish. The ordinary business Of the long
distance telephone between Paris and
London is carried on in the French lam
guage. It is stated that the considerable
proportion Of sibilant or kissing syllables
in English renders it less easy and ac-
curate means of communication.
Certain English words are especially
difficult of transmission by telephone.
The word "soldier" is cited as one of
these. Proper names frequently occur
in the midst Of an otherwise perfectly
audible and intelligent conversation
which the ear cannot possibly catch
These must be spelled ont, involving de-
lay
Expert telephone operators in the press
service between Paris and London have
succeeded in transmitting messages in
the French language at the rate of 100
words a minute. This is at a much
swifter rate than ordinary speech.

Another ENTRANCE to sheol.

1.-THE narrowest and deepest place in the
Mississippi river" said A. l.. Dumar, an
old steamboatman, at the st. James yester
day, "is at point just above Richardson's
landing, about 200 miles south Of St. Louis
It is called the DEVILS hole, named so by
the negroes long before the war. The banks
on either side are of solid rock and stand
up almost perpendicularly Soundings have
been made there to the depth of 200 feet
and the bottom never touched As to how
deep the water really is no steamboatman
knows, because they have never gone to the
trouble of finding out / should think that
the government would send a man there
and find out something about that part Of
the river The negroes think that if per
son were to fall in that particular place he
would go straightway to sheol"-St- Louis

STORY of a Lustrous diamond.

One of hefinest diamonds in the world
was found not long since in the Brazilian
sands. 1t came in a novel form. A small
quartz rock was found, about the size
and shape of an egg, lying in the sands
|along the bank of the Amazon in Brazil
This was carried home by Brazilian
peasant, who was attracted by its odd
shape and light weight. For some time
|it lay in his home with a number of
other geological specimens, a mere Gu
|riosity. Happening one day in handling
lit to drop it ON stone block, it burst
|open and lay in halves on the block.
The hollow interior that gave the light
weight to the stone was filed with blood
|red sand. In this sand lay the diamond,
Ia sparkling stone of the rarest quality.
The stone was later sold to a diamond
merchant and left the finder exceedingly
|wealthy.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
