The How of It.

How poor, how rich, how abject,
how august, how complicated, how
wonderful, is man: and it might be
added how "more so' is woman.
With her peculiarly delicate and in
tense organization, she is the super.
lative degree of man. Even in diseases
she excels him, having many that he
has not. She has, however, found out a
grand remedial agent, fer the cure of
her disease, in Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, a medicine suited to her
mature, made for the express cure of
those diseases which effect her. 1t is
especially effective IN all weakness
incidental to motherhood, while it is
potent restorative tonic for the
feeble and debiated generally.

EDITH HOWE the prlnclpal. SnS won number of scholarships, and when she graduated decided to go to Italy tc complete her musical education.
 Miss Howe then took n sort of short post graduate course in Paris, after which she rcturned to London, where she was prompt ly offered by D'Oyly Carte the principal soprano role in Gilbert and Sullivan's dev- astatingly dull dccoction. Utopia, Linn itcd." She very sensibly declined this to accept an engagement with the Carl Rosa Royal Opera company. She became one of the prima donnas of that superb organ ization, making her professional debut in Dublin as Michacla in "Carmcn." Tho critics went into ccstasies over her work, The Frceman's E Journal going so far as to say, The Carl Rosa company have added rrcruit in the person of Miss Edith Howe, who will speedily take n first posi- tiOn among the great prima donnas.
 From Dublin tho young artist went to the principal towns of England and Scot land, at each place receiving perfect ova- tions and appeared in such roles as Airline, in ''Thc Bohemian Girl;' Suzel, in ''L'Amico Fritz" Ncdda in II Pagli acci, etc. At the close of her tour Sir Arthur Sullivan and D'Oyly Carte again begged her to accept the position of prima donna at the Savoy theatcr, and Mir George Edwar,lcs urged her to come to America with the GaiCty Girl company while propositions were also made to her to En to Australia and South Africa.
 Miss Howe concluded. however. to visit her c!v in America As she has already had :, vrrsll offers from New York mana gers, he will probably s,'un he as favurahly knuWn hare is on the other side Uf the big r.ur.l

WORLD OF SPORTS.

Buffalo is ambitious to become a mem- Der of the National league. and is casting its eyes toward Cleveland. It would be n much better city for the league than Washington.
 In comparing the Boston and New York teams Philadelphia exchange says: "When the two teams are compared. leav- ing the batteries out of consideration. there can be no question but that the B1s- tons have the advantage in fielding. bat ting. base running head work and team play. Their weakness. however. Is in the batteries, and especially with the pitchers. It looked for a time as though Nichols and Stivetts had regained their old-time elf cheney. but the former was batted out of the box in last Wednesdays game and the latter was also hit hard. X part of this weakness can be overcome by Boston's all around work. and as they are now at home for a whole month it will be mighty hard to head them oil.
 Anson Is playing the great game of his life. Iu seventy-three gaines he has made but six errors and has had forty-three RS- sists. His fielding average is .?9l and his batting .3o2. He has not made an error in twenty-seven games.
 The Chicagos had the best week of the season last week. when they won six out of seven games.
 Hodson. Boston's new pitcher. will probably be in the box to-day. with Ten. ney behind the bat.
 Dahlen of the Chicago team after mak ing hit in his last I2 games. failed in his 43d. even though his club made Is hits.
 wilmot has made the record of the sea son with eight stolen bases in two success sive games. He is only one stolen base behind Hamilton. who leads the league.

ANOTHER CHAPTER.

F.nton X Mcintyre and John w. Gaff-
 ney X Co Have Drifted Apart.
 Fenton X Mcintyre. the New York con- tractors who have been building the dam for John w. Gaffney & Go. have stopped work and will do no more on the water works. This was the current rumor last night. which was verified to-day.
 Mr Mcintyre was seen by DEMOCRAT representative and asked the reasons of his firms withdrawal from the work. He said he could say nothing as yet, as nego- tiations for the closing up of their part of the contract are in the works. It was true. he said. that his firm had ceased work. When asked if it was not true that he had not made any money there. he re- piled that the assurances that they had paid their bills was answer sufficient. Asked if his firm had been bought out, he would not say. He said that an agree ment had been entered into by his firm and John w. Gaffney X Co and that they now mutually agreed to break that agree ment. It was an amicable separation. but why and how he could not or would not state.
 John W. Gaffney also refused to say anything as the details of a separation are still unfinished. He did say that Fenton X NJ cIntyre had ceased work for him.
 From other sources comes the informa- ton that the separation is not as amicable as it might be. It is said that the New York firm have lost money and that they are disposing of their end of the work st a sacrifice. What their connection with the work in reality was has not yet come out, but after the negotiations cease there may be disclosures. Fenton < Mcintyre will leave Waterbury to take charge of other contracts which they hold in the south

HOW TO MAKE A mrcRopHoNg.
simple Instrument by Which n Fly Can
 Be Heard to Walk.

Within the telephone is q wonderful little instrument called n microphone. By its means sound can bc magnified to unheard proportions. The microphone is very simple instrument indeed. Three ordinary round nails and n square piece of wood will form very good mi crophOne Two of the nails are laid parallel t-o Lat not touching each other. The third nail is laid across the first two, which are connected ill circuit with n battery and n telephone receiver. The nails of course are laid on the flat, square piece of wood. which acts as q sounding board and transmits to the nails any vibration which may take place upon it.
 Every sound is reproduced exactly us it Is made, except that it is much mag nified. When fly performs its toilet, the rasping of the hind legs against the wings or the rubbing of the atenue may be distinctly heard The buzzing of the insect makes a terrific noise.
 When, for instance, a fly, confined in in a pasteboard box, attempts to walk around his prison, the vibration caused by his movements is conveyed through the sounding board to the nails, which, in their turn, interfere with the perfect passage of the electric current as it travels across the places where they rest upon each other. A large vibration produces a correspondingly large sound in the telephone, and so on down to the smallest degree of minuteness
 The principle of the action of the in- strument depends on the interruption of an electric current which passes through the telephone The apparatus for this interruption in 80 delicately poised that any sound will cause a vi- bration accurately reproduced in the telephone The method given above is the very crudest form in which a mi crophone may be made Those which are manufactured for commercial or ex- perimental use are very exact affairs delicately adjusted and arranged to work with screws at the highest point cf efficiency.
