Small Telegraph Facilities

The four countries in the world which
possess the smallest telegraph facilities
are Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay and
Persia. In the first named there arc
only SO telegraph offices in the whole
country. and but 1900 miles OF wire.
In the territory Of Paraguay there arc
only $40 miles OF wire in operation, and
the entire telegraph service OF that
country requires tho service OF but %
persons. One line Of 800 miles, owned
and operated by the government, runs
from Asuncion to Paso de Patria, tho
limit OF Paraguayan territory, and tho
other, $50 miles by the railroad, from
Asuncion to Pirapo. Owing to high
water and campfres in that country
the line is often interrupted for days at
a time. At Paso de Patria the limo
breaks, there being no cable over the
Alto Parana River, which Is three
miles wide. Communication Is there
fore by canoe, which takes messages
over in the morning to the Argentine
side, and returns to the Paraguayan
side at night. An important telegram
Is often delayed 10 Or Is hours.

Life Sentence for Chicken.stealine

Ohio has the proud distinction OF
sending a man to the penitentiary for
life for stealing three chickens. David
Blackburn is the prisoner. The Leg
~islature passed and the Supreme Court
has just affirmed the constitutionality
OF a law making q third-time prisoner
a life one. Blackburn has served in
the penitentiary for assault with in
tent to rob and for receiving stolen
goods. His latest offense was to steal
three chickens at Dayton. Blackburn
was sent up for life. He appealed to

cided the habitual-criminal act consti-

Present Fashions Unsatisfactory.

Fashion does not appear to lie
wholly satisfied with herself just now.
Aware that her recent ventures are
not altogether popular, the greatdlc-
tator is continually trying to improve
upon her original and somewhat
crude ideas Nevertheless, what are
really meant for Improvements often
serve to accentuate the ugliness or
%ecccntricity OF styles under the i'm
proving process. The skirts, bodices,
sleeves. and trimmings are In no sense
prettier or more artistic than they
were a year ago, and it would seem
that the only real commendable,
agreeable change is the removing of
the sweeping train from the skirts Of
street dresses. Very few women are
found who are really pleased with the
arbiter Of dress in her present mood.
