ABSOLUTELY PURE
Telautograph.

The wonder working electricians have
scored another success. After several
years of study and experiment Prof
Elisha Gray has produced practical
instrument which he has named the s'te-
lautograph," capable of transmitting
fac-simile of and handwriting to a dis
tanee. His experimental line is fourteen
miles long, but at this distance the Ie-
ceiyer accurately records every impress
sion made upon the transmitting instrn-
ment. The transmission can be effected
at speed of thirty five words per min
ute. So satisfactory have the tests been
and so great the confidence of capitalists
in the practical character OF the inventor
that powerful company has been
organized for the manufacture of the
instrument, and it is proposed soon to
place it on the market as a competitor
of the telephone. If the claims made
for the new instrument are not exag-
gerated the telautograph will prove a
most valuable addition to the facilities
for the transaction of business already
given to the business world by inventive
electricians.

From the last days of May to the enc
of July in the northern part Of this land
the sun shines day and night upon its
mountains, fiords, rivers, lakes. forests
valleys, towns, villages, hamlets, feldl
and farms, and thus Sweden and Nor
way may be called the land of the mid
night sun. During this period of con
tinuous daylight the stars are never seen
the moon appears pale and sheds nc
light upon the earth. Summer is short
giving just time enough for the wild
flowers to grow, to bloom and to fade
away, and barely time for the husband
man to collect his harvest, which, how
ever, is sometimes nipped by summer
frost.
A few weeks after the midnight sur
has passed the hours of sunshine shorter
rapidly, and by the middle Of August
the air becomes chilly and the nights
colder, although during the day the sun
is WARM. Then the grass turns yellow.
the leaves change their color, wither and
fall; the swallows and other migrating
birds fly toward the south; twilight
comes once more: the stars, one by one,
make their appearance, shining brightly
in the pale blue sky; the moon shows
itself again as the queen of the night and
lights and cheers the long and dark days
of the Scandinavian winter.
The time comes at last when the sun
disappears entirely from sight; the heav
ems appear in blaze of light and glory
and the stars and the moon pale before
the aurora borealis.-"Land of the Mid
night Sum-"

An Old Church.

fremont Temple, the historic Boston
church destroyed by fire last week,
stood upon site which was origionally
that of a theatre. For half century ii
had been the home of the largest Bap-
tist congregation in this country. The
property was bought by subscriptions
by men who desired to found a church
rich or poor, without distinction of color
or of condition, might worship" Ire
mont Temple was destroyed by fire
March 81, 1852, rebuilt and again de-
stroyed August IA, 1879, and again re-
built. 1t will rise from its ashes third
time and continue to be a home for
BOston's Baptists.

Too Many Liars.

| Quiet Observer.
If there were not so many liars in the
world there would be less discomfort.
A real, genuine liar, you know, is one
who misstates for the purpose of de-
frauding or otherwise injuring his
neighbors.
There are liars and liars.
1t is generally conceded by moralists
that there are harmless lies or untruths.
The distinguished DR.. Hodges, while as
sociated with the Western Theological
seminary, lectured on justifable lies
once, which gave rise to the term ''hodge
ing." which was used when questioning
the veracity of a narrator. HE was
hodgeing" was a polite way of saying
he had veered from the exact truth, yet
without intending to injure anyone.
The commander of an army is said to
have a perfect right to deceive the
enemy in regard to his strength or inten-
tions by any possible means.
1t is generally conceded that one may
create false impression for the purpose
of saving the reputation of an individual
or to protect ones self or others from
injury when by so doing no greater
injury will be done to anyone else.
A mother would be justified in deny
ing the whereabouts of child in order
to protect it from an abusive father.
Moral philosophers 60 so far as to say
one may mislead busybodies by prevari-
eating without committing sin when
that which they are prying into is clearly
none of their business. There is deal
of this sort of prying and lying done in
almost every community.
Indulgence in white lying is not to be
commended for the reason that the habit
is likely to grow until it evidently passes
the white margin into the black. You
may think you are doing no harm in
misleading gossip by not telling the
truth, yet this individual may do you
great harm by repeating your answer to
others and comparing it with the facts.
You are made to appear as falsifier
and liar, although the matter may be
of no consequence whatever.
1t is better, therefore, to cut such in
quisitive gossips off short or give them
very indefinite answers.
To stand up and boldly affirm the
truth of thing that is not true, or the
untruth of that which is true, can rarely
be justified, although some moralists
nave held man guiltless who has sworn
falsely to protect the good name of a
woman, and courts have winked at such
instances of perjury.

International Rowing Matches.

International Rowing Matches.
Boston Globe.
The only obstacle to an international
eight-oared race this summer between
the winner of the Oxford Cambridge
University race and the winner of the
Harvard Yale University race is the
possible refusal of the victorious Eng
Iish crew to come to this country and
row.
Harvard and Yale have combined and
asked the Englishmen to come TO Amer
lea and meet the winning crew here
about two weeks after the race betwt en-
Harvard and Yale, which will be rowed
at New London, probably on Friday
June 30.
During the last few years there has
been a good deal of talk about an inter
national boat race, but nothing official
has been done by the American univer-
sities.
About a month ago the Yale boating
authorities sent to Cambridge a commu-
nication asking the Harvard men if they
would be willing to join Yale in an at
tempt to bring about the desired race.
Harvard responded favorably and
last Saturday meeting of Harvard and
Yale repres entatives was htld at Spring
field
The situation was discussed at this
meeting and representatives of the two
universities finally drew up two auto
graph letters, which were signed and
sent, one to Oxford and the other TO
Cambridge University, England. a
message stating that the letters had
been mailed was sent by cable.
The letter itself cannot be printed at
present, for the men who attended the
meeting do not want the communications
to be published before they are received
by the men to whom they are addressed.
The proposals made, however, are sub
tantially those mentioned above.
1t is known that Chicago will use eV
cry epdeavor to have the international
race, if one comes off, rowed at Chicago,
but the chances are that New London
will be selected.
bob" Cook, the Yale coach, IN dis
cussing the probability of such race,
recently said to representative OF The
Globe, that New London had many ad
vantages over any other place IN this
country. The course was a good one.
and facilities for witnessing the race
from observation trains, ETC., were bet
ter than anywhere else.
Mr.. Cook said New London would be
convenient for both the crews taking
part in the race. The visitors could go
to New London three weeks or so be
fore the Harvard Yale race and easily
get comfortable quarters. where they
could Immediately begin training. They
would also have an opportunity to watch
their American rivals and form an opin-
ion as to the crew they would have to
meet later in the season.
After the race between Harvard and
Yale the winning crew could rest for
week, and then use the remaining days
in preparation for the international race.
By this arrangement the winning Amer
lean crew would not be compelled to
leave its quarters. and the visiting eight
would be as well off as they would be
anywhere.

Position of the Feet In Walking.

There is but one opinion among physi-
ologists as to the proper position of the
feet, and that is thoroughly opposed to
the opinions of the dancing master or the
drill sergeant A study of ancient sculp-
ture will show that no such conventional
method of standing or walking was
known among the Greeks Here the feet
are turned straight ahead, with no in
clination to the right or left. This is the
position which our sculptors prescribe
for their models as the most natural and
graceful one in standing and walking.
Dr. Thomas Ellis, one of the highest
authorities, in a monograph on this sub
ject names the fair, square" position in
walking as the most easy and natural one,
giving the greatest support to the body
with the least exertion. In this position
the feet are placed straight ahead" and
the lines of the footsteps are slightly apart
and are parallel This is the light, alert
walk of the Arab and is different from
the stealthy step of the Red Indian" ="
While the Indian holds his feet straight
out, he steps so that single line could
be drawn through his footprints.
DR.. Ellis goes so far as to attribute the
deformity of fiat footedness to the habit
ual turning out of the toes. He calls
attention to the arched foot and fine car
riage of the Arab as the result of his
manner of planting his feet on the
ground-CIcago Tribune.

SOME SUGGESTIVE FIGURES.


n. Y Mail and Express.
The Treasury Departments February
statement. just issued, gives some strik-
ing figures regarding our foreign trade,
and reveals the main cause of our gold
shipments For the first two months of
1892 our exports were valued at 1885,
776,473. and for the corresponding peri
cd of 1898, their Value fell to Sl27 $685.
SOC. In January and February, 1892,
our imports were valued at Sl2S, l02, 800,
and the imports for the first two months
of this year have risen to Sl63, ,4O7 ,529.
The excess of imports over exports in
January and February, 1898, was $780,
1,755, and the gold expectation for
these two months to pay this debit bal
ance, in part, aggregated S26,o30,OO3-
In the first two months of 1892 OF r eX-
ports exceeded our imports by S5S,613,-
653, thus reversing existing conditions,
and the amount of gold exported was
only $6,753,646.
The balance of trade has turned de-
cidedly against us. Last year it was in
our favor The turn began after the re-
suit of the November election was
known, and it has continued ever since.
When we sell more than we buy We have
no troublesome gold problems to meet,
because gold comes to us. When we
buy more abroad than we sell to foreign
purchasers our gold supply is decreased,
for our silver is not acceptable in the
worlds markets at its face value.

Superintendent Forbush of the gypsy
moth commission says that band of
burlap tied about the trees has proved
an efficient trap for the gypsy moth, and
that as many other species of insects in
furious to trees were also found in these
traps he urges farmers to apply them
generally. Among the insects caught
were many borers, and the application of
this simple trap will be further eff1ca-
cious in preventing the spread of the
borers. The trap consists simply of a
piece of burlap few inches wide tied
about the tree, the bark having been
first scraped so as to furnish smooth
place to tie it on the tree.
The upper part of the burlap is then
loosely turned over the string, and all
those insects which crawl up the trunks
of trees to secrete themselves in the
loose bark or other hiding places will be
found in the burlap if it is put on at the
right time. 1t must be applied at the
season when insects are ascending. The
trap should be looked after every few
days.-Grange Homes.

Fuses about taxes don't always pay
truth that is as forcible on the Maine
side of the border as in Canada. 1t is
illustrated by the experience of Cana
dian farmer whose land, mostly in one
parish, extended little within the
bounds of another parish-St. Ours-in
which he was subjected to a tax of Al
cents. He refused to pay, and suit en-
sued. He won at first, but an appeal was
taken, with the result that after long
fight the case was decided against him,
and he had not only the tax to pay with
interest, but 81 200 in costs and expenses
besides, taking his whole farm. Heprob-
ably will have one satisfaction from the
suit-he will not have any more taxes to
pay.-Lewiston Journal.

CHOLERA LOSING ITS VENOM.

Cleveland Leader.
One very hopeful fact is made plain
in the dispatches relating to recent out
breaks of cholera in Europe. This is
the small proportion of fatal cases. At
Hamburg last year and in nearly every
other civilized community visited by
Asiatic cholera of a really dangerous
and epidemic type, about 40 per cent of
the persons stricken by the pestilence
died. Very rarely has the cholera death
rate fallen as low as three out of every
ten cases. In the districts of Russian
Poland, however, which are now suffer
ing from cholera, the proportions of
deaths has been only about one in six
cases. In other words, the disease is
not over one-third as virulent as it was
for the first three weeks after its out
break in Hamburg. The history of
cholera epidemics shows that the pesti
lence gradually loses its destructive
power after it leaves India. The second
season it is less deadly than the first,
and the third year the last traces of the
disease usually disappear. The reports
from Poland indicate that the change is
to be as rapid as in former cholera inva-
sions, and it is nearly certain that at
worst the mortality will be much lower
the coming summer, in proportion to
the whole number of cases, than it was
in 1892. Meanwhile the chance is very
fair that the dreaded Asiatic scourge
may not gain headway at all in Western
Europe or visit the United States.
