A Generous Charity.

One OF the most useful OF the many valuable

Good Night BY Telephone.

City Clerk Frank Graham walked
up from the telephone exchange last
night with a smile on his face as broad
as yardstick ''No, nothing new"
he said, as reporter stopped him,
"but have just said good night to
my little girl down in Lees Summit. "
"Strange, isn't it?" he continued.
81 have talked over the telephone
from Washington to Philadelphia,
and never thought much about it. You
see, 1t was an everyday business sort
of conversation, that talk from the
capital to the city of Penn. But TO-
night l feel as if l never fully appre-
ciated the telephone, although 1 only
talked about eighteen miles. My little
girl, only five years old, has been
down at Lees Summit visiting with

ham, for few days, and we sort of
got lonesome after supper, ami l
thought 1 would go down and see il 1

was coming on. got the proper con
nection and Mr.. Bawler came TO the
telephone. l asked how our little
wanderer was coming on, and in re-
turn heard a voice so familiar that
l almost dropped the phone say
Hello, daddy You see, Mr.. Bawler
had put her up to the instrument, and
she caught on at once. I'm going to
stay for year. I'm having lots OF
fun, she continued, and then we had
long talk. Kiss mother good night,
and one for you, she concluded, and
then 1 left the telephone exchange,
vowing that the next man who made
kick on the telephone in my presence
would have, in the vernacular, "a game
on his hands.
'No, sir; it takes that sort of CON
versation to make man appreciate

Bismarck as a Duelis..

Bismarck was a student at Coffin
gen in 1882 and 1888, where his skill
in fence won for him the surname
"Achilles the invulnerable. In three
terms he sought twenty duels and re-
ceiyod only single wound, of which
the scar on his lower jaw near the lip
is still perceptible; but as this was
caused by his adversary's blade flying
from the hilt, it was contrary to the
code, so that his reputation for invul-
nerability remained technically unim-
paired. Indeed, the university nu-
thorities forbade him to fight certain
projected duels, on pain of expulsion,
and naonthlater he was sentenced to
three days incarceration for a like
offense. His first duel was with an
Englishman, who had spoken in de-
rision of the many petty States of
Germany. With an American student
he made a bet that Germany would be
politically united in twenty years.
The wager was twenty-five bottles of
champagne, to be drunk in the coun-
try of the winner. After the lapse of
this score of years, in 1853, Bismarck
was prepared to cross the sea in order
to pay the bet, when he learned that
the American had died, and adds:
''The name he bore did not presage a
long life-Cofin. '-Argonaut.

Wood Stronger Than steel.

Cast iron weighs 4i4 pounds to the
cubic foot, and one-inch square bar
will sustain weight of 16, 500 pounds /;
bronze, weight 525 pounds, tenacity
10000; wrought iron, weight 4SO,
tenacity O,00O; hard 'struck" steel,
weight 400, tenacity $4,000; alumni
mum, weight 168, tenacity 10000,
We are accustomed to think of metals
as being stronger than wood, and SO
they are, generally speaking, if only
pieces of the same size be tested But
when equll weights of the two mate
rials are compared, it is then found
that several varieties of wood are
stronger than ordinary steel. A bar
of pine just as heavy as a bar of steel
an inch square will hold up 125, 900
pounds; the best ash ia, 600 pounds,
and some hemlock 200, 200 pounds.
Wood is bulky. 1t occupies ten or
twelve times the space of steel. The
best steel castings made for the United
States Navy have a tenacity of $4,000
to 5000 pounds to the square inch.
By solidifying such castings under
great pressure. tensile strength Of
$4,000 to $4,000 pounds may be
obtained. Railway Review.

1t appears probable that the tailor's
distinctive type of face may have been
partially created by his habit of work
ing his jaws concomitantly with his
shears. Let any one watch a person
cutting tough material with scissors,
and he will see that the lower part of
the face wags in rhythmic and sponta-
neous unison with the blades. Shep-
herds and farm laborers who join
sheop-sheering gangs certainly acquire
a different expression while engaged
in this kind of work.
The cast of couutenance by which
one SO easily recognizes a groom is
partially explicable from the fact that
the muscles which close the jaw and
compress the lips are always called
into play when We are asserting our
will over that of horse. Nearly all
jockeys and other horsy men have a
peculiar set of the mouth and chin,
but l have been unable TO distinguish
any special characteristic about the eye
or upper part of the face.
1t is instructive to compare the Wis
age of the ruler of horses with that Of
the ruler of men. The horseman's face
shows command in the mouth, the drill
sergeant's in the mouth and the eye.
The last is undoubtedly the most effec-
tive instrument in exacting obedience
from our own specie. Here we get
hint of the cause of that want of dig
nifty, that element of coarseness which
is discernible in the countenances OF
some men and women who have much
to do with horses. The higher and
nobl, r method of expressing authori-
ty is outweighed by the lower and
more animal one.

Business Enterprise In New York.

When the New York business man
feels trade slackening he goes out and
gets it. There are various ways of
doing this The florist who has en-
ployed twenty pretty girls to spread
his flowers over the city hasn't hit on
bad thing, Judging from indications.
He is but carrying out the church fair
idea, taking advantage of susceptible
young men and old men on the return
trip to the childish period, and it
goes. These girls wear nice blue uni
forms and saucy yachting caps, aud
very soon develop seductive tongue.
But there are other ways of pushing
things, and the Sixth avenue mer-
chGsts are inclined to take lessons
from Baxter street. The window
sampler is getting to be an old story.
The sidewalk puller-in is yet little
too realistic for the semi fashionable
quarter. However, there is near
approach to it in the outside operator
in front of some ladies furnishing
stores in Sixth avenue. This is In the
guise of a pretty model who tries on
hats for the benefit of the PASSING
feminine crowd.
She stands little to one side of the
entrance to the establishment AMI
tries on one hat after another. Each
hat ls labelled in front with sign bio
enough to be read at distance. The
model is, of course, a very comely
young lady. She simply puts on
hat as 1T is handed out to her, turns
her head this way and that for a mo-
ment, takes it off, passes it in, puts
on another and so on, repeating the
operation all day
On each hat is label containing
the price. 1t is, "This for fifteen
cents, and the people have no option
but to look and haven't the trouble of
going into the store. 1t is pretty
hard to get away from New York

Probing for a Bullet.

In searching for bullet that has
hidden itself in the interior of man,
the doctor uses fine piece of wire,
which sometimes follows its course
and sometimes does not, with the re-
suit that as the operator has to depend
entirely upon his sense of touch he is
often quite long time before he sue
ceeds. This state of affairs is to bs
improved by telephone, from the re-
ceiver of which two wires extend, one
terminating in metal bulb and placed
in the patients mouth, and the other
used to probe for the bullet. Directly
the wire touches the lead, the doctor
hears rasping sound in the rec5iyer.

Over the waters Wide,
Borne by the stormy tide,
Come l to thee;
Where the bright foam leaps high,
spits at the frowning sky,
Far out at sea.
Counting wat'ry grave,
Breasting the ocean wave.
Thro' rough or smiling sea,
Come 1, my love, to thee.
Over the bound 'ess seas,
Watt by the evening breeze,
Far to the West;
Where the bright sun still CLEANS
Wrapp'd in its golden beams,
Graded to rest;
Where the eye strains to SEQ
Bright gates of liberty,
Over the distant sea
Come I, my love, to thee.
Over the midnight deep,
Onward my course I'll keep,
Seeking for thee;
Love will my path direct.
Love viii my bark protect,
From dangers free.
Then when the morning light
Steal DER the shadows ofnigbt
With hope and constancy
Still will seek for thee.
Toss'd by the waves of strife
Over the sea Of life,
Death as the goal;
When fears my breast unman,
Only your presence can
Tighten my soul;
Still your sweet voice I hear
Calling the wand'rer near.
Still will seek for thee,
Love thro' eternity.

a cannot see where we failed to do
anything we could do to bring about
a better result. When l have done
the best, according to my capacity
and judgment, / must fall back on
the consciousness of duty done. The
difficulty which the country must
recognize is that on,,the tariff question
we did not have Democratic Senate,

wrested from a protective body. |

the most desperate chances that gave
the least hope of success IN getting
rid of the most Objectionable Senate
amendments, and would have fought
TO the fourth of March if had any
ground to stand upon and any follow
ing to sustain me.
1--WE have been confronted by a
Senate with closed ranks, while we
have had divisions from the beginning
that have been fomented from the
Senate, and the growing Impotence
OF the members to get back to their
districts with anything that might be
called a tariff reduction bill, had made
them unwilling to stay unless promise
could be given Of assured or probable
victory. We could not honestly give
such promise, and a man cannot con.
tinue a battle with his army ready and
eager 70 break away"
