Teieph one Doctors.

In a telephone plant for big city
like Chicago there are cables con-
tanning upward of 10000 miles Of
copper wire. Complete records are
kept of the position Of every wire,
and the men in charge can pick out
at once the line of any subscriber
whenever it is necessary to inspect
it or work on it. When line gets
into trouble it can be tested in both
directions from the switchboard and
out toward the subscribers station.
At every exchange there is an Off
cial called the 'wire chief" whose
special duty is to overlook the max
ing of connections between the sub
scriber's line and the switchboard, to
inspect the wires, and to test them
electrically in order to determine the
position of any defect that may oc-
cur in subscribers line or instru-
ments. The wire chief sits at spe-
cial desk, from which wires run to
various parts Of the system, and he
is provided with electrical instru-
ments with which to make tests on
lines that develop trouble" He is
the ambulance surgeon Of the tele-
phone plant, and his wires give him
the advantage of being truly ubi-
quitous. He receives complaints and
reports Of trouble" and enters on
special slips every trouble" re-
ported or discovered.
These slips are handed to trouble
men," who search out the cause, and
finding it, apply the proper remedy
They then enter an account OF what
they found and what they did on the
slip and return it. In this way a
close and comprehensive check is
kept on the operation of the tele-
phone plant, which, on account of
its complexity and Of the number Of
small parts that go to make it up, is
peculiarly liable to trifling but
troublesome defects. Returns are
made up periodically from the
trouble slips" and these form
continuous record Of the efficiency
both OF the plant and Of those imme-
diately in charge Of it.-[Chicago

TWAS FAR AWAY:

TWAS far away where skies are fair
And sweet with song and light
When had but my scythe, my dear.
And you your needles bright.
30 far away and yet, to-day,
For all the distance drear.
Ny heart keeps chime with that swee
time
And dreams the old dreams there.
There. where love learned its sweetest
words
And built its brightest bowers;
Where sang the rarest hooking birds
And bloomed the fairest flowers
And fields were golden-rich. and clear
The streams flowed in the light
When had but my scythe, my dear,
And you your needles bright!
How soft and sweet across tho wheat
Your dear voice seemed to roam,
When stars of love peeped pale above
And went dreaming home!
Life had no sweeter Joy than this
To rest little while
There, where you met me with kiss
And blessed me with a SMILE
So far that sweet time seems to-day,
Here meath these darkened skies;
And yet, across the weary way
You light me with your eyesl
And would give earth's gold to share
Once more that day, that night.
When had but my scythe, my dear,
And you your needles BRIGHT

WASHINGTON COACH.
A Valuable Relic Of the First Prssi.
dent Found.

In connection with The restoration
of the old coach house at Mount
Vernon, which was entirely rebuilt
by Michigan" during the past year,
there is an interesting story of the
search for one of Washington's old
coaches to replSce in the coach
house. Though search was insti-
tuted year ago in New York and
Philadelphia for the lost coach, there
were no traces up to the date of the
completion of the coach house in
May. At that time Mr.. Dodge, the
superintendent at Mount Vernon, as
certained that Washington coach
had been sold from an auction room
in Philadelphia about year ago to
Forepaugh's Circus Company for $50,
and also that the Pennsylvania COM
missioners had tried uusuccessfully
to get it from the company for the
Columbian Exposition. Mr.. Dodge
Immediately correspondent with Fore
paugh's and Barnum & Bailey's Cir
Gus Companies, and also with Mr..
Brownfield, Chairman of the Penn
sylvania Commissioners. Mr.. Brown
field responded very cordially, and
volunteered his active aid and CO.
operation in securing the coach for
Mount Vernon. Mr.. Brownfeld was
indefatigable in getting on the track
of the coach-but while the council
of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Associ-
alton was in session in June, a letter
was received from him to the effect
that the coach had been traced to the
wreck ''in the west" Of a circus
train, and the coach was probably
ruin. This came with tragic effect
a coach which had held the august
persons of General and Mrs. WASH
ington, to be carted around the coun-
try with travelling show, and finally
broken to pieces in railway wreck.
But the end is not yet. Suspecting
that he might have been misled and
was on n false scent, Mr.. Brownfield
renewed the hunt, which ultimately
resulted in finding the coach safely
slowed away. Mr.. Dodge at once
opened negotiations for the purchase
of the coach, but further proceedings
were assisted by Mr.. Browntleld's re-
serving for himself the privilege of
presenting the coach to the Mount
Vernon Ladies' Association. The
regents Of the association will hence
forth accord great honor to Mr..
Brownfield's courtesy, generosity,
and patriotism. and will do every
thing in their power to attest their
gratitude and appreciation

Railroad Laborers Strangely Hurt.

While Section Foreman Michael
Quinlan and force of men were en-
gagged in removing rail from the
track Of the Louisville IL Nashville
Railroad, one and half miles north
of this city, an unusual accident oc-
Cured, which resulted very seriously
to Walter Walters and James Sneed,
both colored. AS each spike was re-
moved the rail took the form of
bow, caused by the intense heat ex-
banding it. After the removal Of the
spikes the clamps which connect each
end with adjoining rails were uafast-
ened. A crowbar was then placed
under one end Of the rail to pry it
loose from its position. AS soon as
weight was applied to the crowbarA
the rail unexpectedly jumped out to
middle of the track and struck the
men and Foreman Quinlan on the
legs with such force as to fell them
to the ground. Foreman Quinlan's
injuries consisted of badly mashed
foot. Walter Walters and James
Sneed were conveyed to the city hos
pital. The former received COM
pound fracture of the right ankle,
and will be confined several months.
Sneed was so badly hurt that his
right leg below the knee Joint
and part of his left leg had to be
amputated. The accident caused
great deal OF comment among rail-
road men, it being the first OF its
kind ever known to have happened.

More of the Grain To BE Used In This
Manner than Ever Before.
Daring the last few days C. A. King 4
Co, OF Toledo, Ohio, have received replies
from 3.OJ7 reliable dealers and millers
covering almost every important wheat
and clover seed county in Ohio. Michigan.
Indiana, Kentucky. Illinois, Kansas ana
Missouri These STATES raise most OF the
clover seed crop and o-thirds or the VIM
wheat crop or nearly one-half OF the en-
tire wheat crop of the United States; 2.3ll
of the reports are from 29S OF the larger
wheat producing counties They show
IL IA mostly guess to say now what
amount of wheat will be fed to animals
this crop year, but there will lie more
fed than ever before In sections where
there Is fair corn crop little VIII DC 1eu'
But Is per cent. of the wheat crop may De
fed In the seven States named; 2lO reports
from all say 3 per cent or less of the crop
will be fed; $50 say TO 8 per cent; AS D
to 10 FER cent 544, 10 TO IS; 446. from 10
to %; LOG, from 20 to 25; $50, from 4 to Is;
los, from third 10 fifth; and from 340 a
9th to a half Nearly all say farmers
have sold more freely than usual lndi-
ana and Illinois farmers are more dis
posed to sell, while Michigan farmers are
firmly holding. The clover seed crop Will
be smaller than the large one OF last year.
Mammoth clover will be very short Medium
clover will be a trifle below an average
Michigan reports the poorest prospect for
both, while Indiana has tho best, bnt not
over an average.
