The ROuMANIAN WAY.
How the Telephone Is Managed in That
Interesting Country.

The two Roumanian cities, Galatz
and Braila, on the Danube, were lately
connected by telephone, which is, like
the telegraph in that country, an in
stitution of the state. Before its OPEN
ing 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 inter-
course with another by telephone is
bound to notify that person before
hand by letter, telegraph or other
wise"
A Mr.. Kir Zaridi, in Braila, dealer in
produce, was about to close contract
for supply of barley. He desired,
however, to learn beforehand the price
of barley quoted at the Board of Trade
in Galatz. For that purpose he went
to the telephone Office and. after pay
ing the fee, desired to get telephone
connection with Mr.. Pastramaki, his
correspondent in Galatz.
'Very well; have you informed Mr..
Pastramaki?"
"What for? He is in Galatz and the
person to whom want to telephone.
"That would not do, sir. Here is the
ordinance. Before you can telephone
to him you must inform him before
hand by letter, telegraph or in any
other way"
Nonsense! Is the government
crazy? Maybe they ask me to travel
to Galatz and inform him that on q
certain day and hour he may be at the
telephone Office to receive eommuni-
cation from me?"
"Yes, that would do, too," the official
said
Mr.. Kir Zar1di had to give up his
barley deal.--Detroit Free Press.

A Winter Resort.

''Aren't you going south?" said the bluebird
to the sparrow,
'Winter's almost here, and we're clearing up
to go.
Not seed is left on the goldenrod or yarrow
And l heard the farmer say, 1t feels like
snow?
I can recommend it, the place to which we're
going;
There's rainy season, to be sure, but what
of that?
Not a bit of ice and it never thinks of snow
ing,
And the fruit SO plentiful one can't help get
ting fatP'
"And it's quite the fashion to go travelling, I
know:
People who don't do it are looked upon as
Bless you! don't carel And I'm not afraid
When it comes the first time, SO enjoy my
feathers;
After that I'm used to it, and do not mind at
ALL
One can fly about, and keep warm SO in all
weathers;
I've a snuggery, too, in the ivy on fhe wall.
''When the seeds are gone-and they're not be-
fore December
I can still find spiders and flies on sunny
And I've all the lovely summer to remember;
My old friends are here, and they know my
little ways.
Just as soon as ever the ground is frozen
tightly,
All those nice kind creatures in the houses
throw us crumbs.
One forgets it's winter, when the sun is shin
ing brightly,
I'm content to stay here, and take it as it
comeS.'

Great Danger of Draughts.

It is strange the difference there is
in people about sitting in draught
of air. Some persons can sit or lie in
draught and not suffer the slightest
Inconvenience, while others would
catch their death of cold in few min
utes. Why is thisP 1t cannot be
wholly due to the relative strength of
the individual, nor solely to the condi-
tions of particular organs of the body.
Judging from observations it would
seem that, other things being equal,
those who have the best capillary cir
culation are the least likely to suffer.
But this again depends upon certain
other conditions. A person who has a
very feeble pulse, showing low vital
itv, cannot have good circulation in
the capillaries; the surface is easily
chilled, hence the danger of taking
cold.
But you will see another individual
with a strong pulse, good vitality, who
is apparently as susceptible to draughts
as the one who is feeble. The cutane-
Gus circulation is sluggish, owing to
abnormal conditions. 1t may be due
to an error in diet or something which
interferes with the surface circulation.
One who lives largely on oily foods
may have skin so torpid that the
capillaries in it cannot do their work
properly; or, if there is an excess OF
bile in the blood, this fluid may be SO
thick that the fine network of capilla-
ries cannot carry it. The surface cir
culation will be sluggish and the skin
easily chilled. Home Maker.

IT'S A DESTROYER OF ANTS.
Some Reasons for Protecting q South
American Animal.

A. G. Macdonald of the Agricultural
Department of Cape Colony in the of
fetal publication of department pro-
tests against the campaign which il
being waged against that peculiar
quadruped, the "aardvark." This ami
NAL, he saws, is one of the few indig-
enous four-footed friends of the Cape
farmer. It's food is the ant, more es-
pecially the white ant, an insect which
feeds on our crops and the succulent
herbage of the weld, and which does
much greater damage than is general
ly supposed. Although the ant has
many enemies (among which is reck-
oned the koran, a bird which, am
happy to say, is now being preserved
on some farms solely for this purpose),
yet none are so destructive to its well
fare as the ant-bear. 1t is only when
on the surface of the ground that the
ant runs any danger from its winged
foes, but above or below ground it is
always within reach of the ant-bear.
But it is not only as destroyer of
ants that the ant-bear is of value to
the farmer. A large percentage of
the seeds of our herbage after they
have dropped off the plant on the
ground lose their terminating power
from being exposed day after day to
the scorching rays of the sun. The
ant-bear, as it goes scratching about
for ants, covers a large mum Der of
seeds with loose earth, in which con-
genial bed they will retain their re-
productive power for long period,
awaiting the moisture from the skies
to shoot out and propagate their kind.
And yet this animal, harmless in
other respects, is being slowly but
surely exterminated For it's skin,
which is valued at about los, and also
for its flesh, which resembles superior
pork, it is sought after by the natives.
With the white race sport" is the in
ducement. this fun taking the form at
times of forcing the poor brutes out of
their holes by flooding with water or
drowning them and digging them out
afterward. The subject of the pro-
lection of the ant-bear has been dis
cussed by one farmers association. and
Mr.. Macdonald hopes to see others
taking up the question also.-Lonados

Dreadfully Demoralizing.

Do people at home who allow girls
to come out here as missionaries un-
derstand what hundreds of missionary
women in this country have to under
go? 1t is impossible, sir, for me to
describe what these workers in the
Lords vineyard will suffer and are
suffering because no newspaper would
print the description. / will only ask
you to think of the position of girls
who leave comfortable homes in Eng
land to live in the unspeakable dirt,
squalor and vice of an inland Chinese
city.
Picture to yourself what happened
here the other day. A party of pure
minded girls crowded together in a
filthy Junk shoulder to shoulder with a
| herd of coolies, naked save for dirty
rag around the waist, and often not
even that. Picture to yourself and
then tell me If 1t is possible that girls
can preserve their self-respect under
such circumstances. Is it not more
reasonable to believe that they will be
dragged down to the level of the peo-
pie they desire to elevate? That is
what happens in not a few cases.
I heard but the other day from one
who had met her, the history of a
young English lady who had spent
three years up country. When she
started she was a well-bred, good
looking heiress. On her return she
could not be distinguished from 8
-retixe. When asked the reason of hel
shocking condition, she replied thai
she desired to appear like those sht
came to teach, and as the Chinese not
infrequently wait for their clothes tc
"get tired" and drop off, she had not
removed hers for thirteen months
To those who are familiar
with the habits and manners of tht
interior of North China, it will no
appear improbable that the mind o.
any person of the type of which the
majority of missionaries are made
should give way under the strain 0
such associations.-LOn Truth.

American War Correspondent.

Sedan was marked by efforts of
journalistic enterprise, crude,it is true,
but indicative, at least, of energy.
Again it was the N. Y. Tribune which
took first spear; only, the wielder of
the weapon was this time a Briton.
Holt White, man whose abilities
should have given him a better fate
than premature death in an Austrian
hospital, was with the Germans on the
day so unfortunate for France. He
stood by Sheridan when Napoleon's
letter of surrender was handed by
General Reille to old Wilhelm; the
napkin that had constituted Relies
flag of truce was given him as souve-
mir. And then with dauntless courage
he walked right across the battlefield
through the still glowing embers of the
battle, reached the frontier, made for
the nearest railway station, and got to
Brussels early next morning. He
could not telegraph from there. His
own story was that when he rendered
his message, the people at the office
refused to transmit it, scouting him as
either lunatic, or "bear" bent on
creating panic on the stock-exchange;
but | have heard that he had not the
cash with him to pay for long mes
sage. Anyhow, he came to London,
getting there the day but one after the
battle in time for short synopsis o1
his narrative to be printed in late
edition of the Pail Mall Gazette. Il
appeared at length in next mornings

University Students to Observe the Ef-
fects of Music on Pulsation.

feCtS of Music on PulSattOn.
The students of the University of
Pennsylvania will soon be engaged in
the novel work of obtaining the effects
of the rhythms of music and verse on
the pulsation of the heart and on res
piration. Lightner Wilmer has re-
Gently returned from Germany to as
sumo charge of the work in expert
mental psychology, says the Philadel-
phia Record, and the intricate appa-
ratus necessary for effective work in
this field will follow him IN few
| weeks.
1t is already well known that the
listening to inspiring music or reading
of inspiriting poetry will cause de-
cided increase in the number of the
heart beats and breaths per minute.
But experiments in this line have ihith-
erto only been tentative, and now it is
purposed to make minute investiga-
tions as to the peculiar effects of the
different styles of rhythm.
Tragic music, such as the "Abschen-
| licher" aria in "Fidelio," is expected to
set the pulse beating at rapid rate,
cause hurried breathing, frequent con-
traction and expansion of blood YES
sells, while soothing music, like the
trustful prayer of "Leise, leise fromme
Weise," from "Der Freischutz," will
have the contrary effect.
Topical songs, too, are to be expert
mented with, and what effect tiara
a-boom-de-ay" will have on the sub
i ject under experimentation will no
doubt be awaited with great interest.
Differences in sensibility under-these
different rhythms, too, are expected,
as we'll as other changes in the nerV-
GUS system. Some of the above eff
fects are experienced when one feels
cold chills frolicking down ones spinal
area, or when ones breath disappears
over the unexpected payment of q
loan.
Among other curious instruments in
use by the department is a hollow, top
shaped cone. which may either be
filled with hot water or ice, and used
as means of testing the sensibility o1
the skin to heat and cold The cone
ends in metal point, which is affected
in temperature by the water or ice
and as the instrument is moved over
the surface of the skin certain curious
facts are observable. Within square
inch of skin many places are found
which are respectively insensible tt
either heat or cold, and which are, az
far as the eye can discern, side by
side.
In this way map of the body is OBJ
tanned, showing that there are well
marked patches of skin, distributed
more or less regularly all over its sur
face, in which the sensibility is acute
uniformly to either one of the two
heat or cold, and not to the other.
Optical illusion and pleasure anC
pain will also be subjects of origina

Old Kinds of Music Disappearing.

The little clavichord of past times
needs that present-day pianist should
put his ear to it in order to hear it.
Its delicate, miniature gradations of
tone would be lost indeed on modern
audience. Yet Bach's forty-eight pre-
ludes and fugues were written for it.
Were they intended for single hear
er? String quartets still hold their
own, but the day is not far off when
they, too, must disappear from public
life before the myriad-headed audi
ences of the immediate future. They
will retire into private circles and be-
come again what they were originally
intended to be-chamber music. Some
day-may it be distant one-they
may be revived by the curious in
those things, as specimens of a charm
ing but obsolete form of art.-Ni1ae-

The Bie-Trees of California.

The big-tree is surpassed in size
only by the eucalyptus of Australia
while the redwood may claim the
honor of being the third largest tree in
the world. The largest known red
wood is 366 feet in height and twenty
feet in diameter. The big-tree attalns
a greater diameter, but does not reach
proportionately greater height. Thus
there are big-trees recorded having a
diameter of forty-one feet, but we
have seen none mentioned as being
over 400 feet in height.
The height of the largest known
eucalyptus tree is stated to be 470 feet,
but the diameter is only twenty-seven
feet. So while taller than the largest
big-tree, if their proportions are the
same, the California tree has about
twice the bulk of the one which grows
in Australia.-St. Nicholas.

The Mormons' Big Organ.

The monster organ in the old Nor
mon church at Salt Lake City has 2, 704
pipes, each thirty-two feet long and
large enough to admit the body of a
man of ordinary size. Besides this, two
towers arise at either side to height
of fortv-two feet. 1t was built in the
early days when all freight was hauled
from Missouri river points across the
plains with OK teams. One man put in
LOLA days work on it and received
provisions only for his labor. 1t has
been undergoing improvement for the
past thirty-five or forty years.

to plunge under the liquid several

BLINDNESS IN lNFANTs.
The Readiest and Most Efficient Way to
Prevent this IrremedIabIe Evil.

There is about the whole matter a
state of ignorance, apathy, and indif-
ference, against which science and hui
manity are having hard struggle.
The readiest and most efficient way
of meeting and overcoming this is to
put knowledge of the disease in pos
session of the mothers, and of those
having the care of newborn children.
The public at large must be made
aware of the irremediable evils that
are likely to follow from the neglect of
what has been regarded as a simple
and innocent affection. One medium
through which this knowledge can be
extensively disseminated is the various
charitable organizations, municipal
and private. with which our country
is SO abundantly supplied. Let every
society or organization which has to
do especially with women have print
ed and widely distributed among its
people cards containing something like

Worlds Fairs.

The first worlds fair or universal
exposition was held in London in 1851
and the second in New York in 1858.
The credit for the first worlds fair is
generally awarded to Prince Albert,
the consort of Queen Victoria. The
first exposition in Paris was held IN
1855, the first in Vienna in 1873, and
the first in Berlin in 1881.
