NOW LITTLE GIRL UTILIZED A
TELEPHONE

A mother living not very far from
the post office in this city, tired with
Watching over Il sick baby, came
down stairs for a moment the other
day for a few seconds rest. She
heard the voice of her little four-year-
old girl in the hall by herself, and GU
rious to know to whom she was talk
ing, stopped moment at the half
open door. She saw that the little
thing had pulled Il chairin front of the
telephone and stood upon it with the
piece against the side of her head
The earnestness of the child showed
that she was in no playful mood, and
this was the conversation the mother
heard while the tears stood thick in
her eyes, the little one carrying on
both sides, as if she was repeating the
answers
Hello"
well, who's there?n
rs God there?''
YES"
SIS Jesus there?'
Yes
Tell Jesus I want to speak to
him.
WELL
''ls that you, Jesus?"
Eyes; what is it?''
"Our baby is sick and we want you
to let him get we'll. Won't you, now,
please!'
No answer and statement, and
question again repeated. Finally
| answered by Yes"
The little one put the ear piece
back on the hook, clambered down
from the chair, and with radiant
face went for mother, who caught her
in her arms. The baby whose life
had been despaired of began to mend
| that day, and finally got well.

NEEDLES.

The great sail needle, which has to
be pushed with a steel palm, would
puzzle most people so, too, the broom

pushed with a steel palm the curious
knitting machine needle, with its
latchet the arasene and crewel nee

up broken threads, with an open eye
in the hook. The needle as we see it
to-day is the evolved product of CEN
turtles of invention. In its primitive
form it was made of bone, ivory or
wood. The making Of Spanish needles
was introduced into England during
the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Point
by point the manufacturer has i'm

RE1DY TO ACCOMMODATE.

An exchange tells a story connected
with q strike on the North British
railway, during which much difficulty
was experienced in finding engineers
to keep the necessary trains running.
One of the substitutes, a young fell
low, ran some distance past station,
and then, putting back, ran as much
too far the other way.
He was preparing to make third
attempt when the station agent shout
ed, to the great amusement OF the pas
sengers: Never mind, Tammas.
Stay where you are. Well shift the

THE COMPONENT PARTS OF
RHODE ISLAND.

Rhode Island is made up of what
We're originally several separate col
oniss; the full name of the State even
now is Rhode Island and the Provi-
dence Plantations. By the first Con-
stitution each colony provided CAPT
tai for the State, so that there were five
capitals, Newport, Providence, East
Greenwich, Bristol and kingston
After time these became too many,
and the last three were given up; but
as between Providence and Newport
no choice could be made-political in
fuence was exerted ON behalf of each
town, SO the question was left unset
tied, and both towns serve. There is
one Legislature, which meets every
year in Providence and adjourns to
Newport

TO pREsERTE FENCE POSTS.

Fence posts are made very durable
if the part to go in the ground is
stepped in lime water. This is most
easily done by putting the posts, butts
down, in a pit two feet deep, with
fresh lime mixed in among them and
some under them. Water is then
poured on the lime, and this is slack
ed; the heat of the Stacking drives the
air out of the wood, and more water
being thrown ON the lime, this is
absorbed as the wood cools, thus the
pores are filled with lime, by which
the albumen of the wood is destroyed
and this being the principal agent of
decay in timber, the posts are gener-
ally increased in durability. They
have been known to keep sound for
over forty years after this treatment.

THE CANARY ISLANDS ARE WA
TERLESS.

The Canary Islands posses not only
the most wonderful climate, but an
extremely fertile soil. The only diff
Guilty in agriculture is the want of
water. 1t has lately been found that
there are great quantities. of water in
cavities of the mountains of Teneriffe.
An English company has undertaken
to get it out. They find that boring
to depth of a hundred feet is enough
TO procure a large supply of water. If
they succeed in getting an unlimited
supply in this way, the islands, which
have declined in prosperity in recent
years, will probably develop greater
productivity than hitherto.

WILD HORSES IN THE WEST.

There are still several places in the
West where wild horses abound in
considerable numbers, and down on
the lower border of Arizona, where
that Territory digs its nose into Cali
fornia, there are many hundreds of
the animals" The talker was Major
Henry Commerway, who is well
known on the southern border as a
mail contractor. Some men down
there pick up a living catching the
animals,n he continued, land sell
them TO teamsters or cattle outfits
Their mode of of operation is very
simple. When 4 bunch of horses is
sighted one of the party of horse
hunters, of whom four or five always
go together, starts out after them, and
keers close enough to them to keep
them constantly moving. When the
horses see him they dash off ut full
speed. but seldom continue in Il
straight line, as they usually make
great turns or circles, and the hun
ters riding ut angles don't cover a
tenth of the distance. At the end of
two or three hours the first driver, as
he is called, is relieved by another,
and this is kept up hour after hour,
the wild horses always having a fresh
and tireless pursueron their trail. As
the drives are made during the full OF
the moon, the hunted horses have no
rest during night or day, and at the
end of forty eight or fifty hours they
are so completely played out that
their capture by the rope is very
easy matter, although in many in
stances when the herd begins to tire
out it is driven toward coral already
prepared, and forced into it's
