Taking q Telephone to Bed.

A DOCTORS profession requires him, II
he seeks convenience and comfort, to
have two telephones-one in his office
and one in his bedroom. AS any one
who has to pay tribute to the telephone
companies knows, their charges hardly
represent the progress that has been
made in other lines in tho world ip
cheapening commodities. But necessity
is the mother of invention, and doc
tor in the east end found q way to
have the convenience Of two telephones
and yet only pay for one He has his
telephone hung upon hooks in his Office,
the connections being made by the tele-
phone coming i'll contact with an cleo
t1ic board which he has had constructed.
He also has wires run to his bedroom,
where another electric board has been
placed. The doctor may be said to take
his telephone to bod with him every
night lie takes.i it from the hooks in his
Office. carries it under his arm up to his
bedroom and places it upon the hooks
there Should any calls como during the
night, he can answer them without
leaving his room, thereby getting the

In China and Japan ivory has been
carved, the ivory balls inclosed inside
one another being specially noted.
Many theories have been formed as to
how these balls have been cut. Perhaps
a probable IL is that a ball of ivory
was taken. around the upper and lower
ends Of which four small holes were
carved ont, gradually diminishing in
size toward the center until the axis of
the n hole met the axis of the other
or lower one at right angles in the CEN
ter of the ball, and that then small
tools were inserted, and a thin layer of
ivory, forming a part of a circle from
one hole to its lower corresponding one,
was cut and loosened from the whole
mass. Sc, gradually cutting from one
hole to the * one, a complete inner
circle was eventually loosened, the cir
cles themselves afterward being cut into
the required pattern.-Chambers' Jour-
nal,

The ways and means of insurance
agents for securing customers are many
and varied. The modus operandi seems
to be to get the victim interested and
then lombard him with argument, elo-
quence and statistics, and it is in the
first that the real genius of the business
comes in.
A merchant was writing at his desk
the other day when two of the craft en-
tered. Being well dressed and prosper
GUS looking, he rose to receive them and
inquired their business.
II want" said one, ''to introduce to
you my friend, Mr.. Booker, who is a
well known gentleman living here, and
special agent for the Bluster Life In
sursnce company"
Il am pleased to meet Mr.. Booker"
returned the merchant, "but | really
don't know that I'm acquainted with
you"
Indeed, " said the first. Booker,
old man, introduce me-"
Booker did, and the merchant, seeing
the trick, burst out into hearty outlaw
and was soon insured by the two
friends, who, if they had entered in the
ordinary style and stated their bust
ness, would probably have been shown
the door.-LondOn Tit-Bits.

After lying months in a critical con-
dition, resulting from the severe injuries
he received in the wreck on the Harlem
railroad in August last, Mr.. De Witt
Heermance is on the road to recovery.
In connection with the fearful accident
Mr.. Heermance remembers nothing; his
mind is a blank. He fails to call to mind
even his getting on the train on that I'M
fortunate day, and of the accident and
what followed he of course knows
nothing. He is unable to call to mind,
he says, the least thing connected with
his movements or the transpirings of that
day as relating to his business trip

days past that we nave received the COM
pleted official statement Of manufactures
in 1890. Southern members are delighted,
of course, with the summary showing that
in the decade 1Ss0-90 manufactures in
creased SO per cent in their section, while
the increase for the whole country was but
so per cent. The south being included In
making the ina average, it would appear
that the increase for that section is al
most exactly twice hat for the north.
Looking forward to some leisure, on the
part of senator's during the long debate OH
the tariff, the promoters of the Nicaragua
canal are preparing for a general move in
favor of the bills which provide for a reor-
ganization of the old company. The first
of these-senate bill 423-was introduced
by Mr.. Frye last August and is entitled
IAN act to amend the act which was ap-
proved Feb. 20, 1882" The second was
brought in late in January, and the sum
mary of the two bills is that the canal
company is to be incorporated with l ,000,-
900 shares at 500 each, the United States
to guarantee bonds and interest, and in
case it has to pay them to take the compa.
ny's property. 1t is rather remarkable
that the general public pays so little atten.
ton to this measure, and its promoters at
present freely admit that they lose more
by Indifference than by opposition. How
ever, they are very confident not only of
getting the bills and completing the reor-
Sanization, but of building the canal east
ly within the specified time.

M Frenchman Allowing His Dislike Of
England to Annoy Americans.

The Frenchman Allowing HIS Disliko o.
England to Annoy Americans.
French hostility to England has beer
unusually violent for some months past
and the English in Paris complain that
they are made aware Of 1t in ways that
offend them or ever render their stay
there unpleasant. This is something In
which we are not concerned. For an
other reason, however, it is our duty to
give the Parisians q warning. Life in
Paris has been made disagreeable to some
Americans of late because the anti Eng.
lish Frenchmen have failed to draw the
line between Englishmen and Ameri.
cans, and as Americans speak the Eng.
fish language have assumed that they
were English and have acted according.
ly. This will not do.
We tell these shoulder Struggling and
mustache twisting Parisians that they
had better look out when they are in the
presence Of Americans. Americans will
not tolerate their plague. They can't
treat young Brother Jonathan as if he
were old John Bull. They must be re-
spectful toward Americans in France if
they want to get the money of American
tourists. Americans are a self asserting
people, not destitute of patriotic pride,
not so patient as Job, not at all arrogant
or ill tempered, yet conscious of their
inviolable Americanisin. They have
grown beyond dueling, but it is not safe
TO act toward them as if they were Of a
timid disposition. True, they speak the
English language, but they can't help
that, and we may say that they like it.
There were $500 Americans living
permanently in Paris three mcnths ago,
when the census of foreign residents was
taken, and hundreds of American tour
lists visit the city every week of the year.
These Americans spend lots of money in
Paris. 1t is possible that they spend
10000, 900 francs there every year, and
this sum is but a small part of the ag-
gregate amount which Parisians draw
from Americans annually. Let the
shoulder shruggers think Of this when
they see IN American dressed in French
clothes and shelling out his dollars for
their enrichment.
The Americans like France we'll, and
they give proof of their liking for her.
They appreciate the good qualities of the
French and give them full credit for all
their merits. 1t is to be regretted that
there are some coxcombs among the
French, mostly in Paris.
The craziest thing that M. Crapaud
a do is to confound Brother Jonathan
with John Bull.-New York Sun.

Great Hop Yards of the Northwest.

The palm for possessing the largest
single hop ranch in the world, which has
for a long time been the proud boast Of
King county, will soon pass to the east
side of the Cascade mountains. Yakima
county has laid claim to the distinction,
and by next summer will have every
right to it, for there will be growing at
that time upon her rich valley lands 600
acres of hops in n body.
The big Snoqualmie hop ranch in this
county contains $40 acres in one body
planted to hops, and the Lilienthals Of
San Francisco own a yard at Pleasanton,
Alameda county, CAL, of $50 acres, to
which they are adding 400 acres more,
which when fully planted will be larger
than the Yakima yard.-Seattle Tele-

The Cheeky Drummer Catches Two Di.
vines on a Simple Proposition.
Abashed at nothing, a commercial
traveller in the south once propounded q
question to a couple of clergymen,
whom he encountered on a railroad
train, which illustrates how easily a
man may be tripped on a simple little
catch problem. The drummer entered
into a conversation with the minis
ters and entertained them amazingly
with his brilliant conversation, touch
ing men and affairs. Gradually the top
les changed, until at last the talk was
of DR.. Talmage and his visit to the
Holy Land.
Speaking of the Holy Land" said
the graceless commercial man, II was
quite interested to read in a New York
paper recently that a party of explorers
in Palestine had discovered a huge heap
of bones, which, from their size and
quantity, are supposed to be of the chill
dren which Herod ordered killed. They
were found in a cave, which had been
closed for centuries, which accounts for
their preservation"
"Indeed!' replied one of the clergy
men, much interested. II had not
heard Of it. 1t is certainly a surpris-
ing discovery"

of the bones were bleached white, the
rest were as black as ebony"

gyman who had already spoken. while
the other looked at the drummer sus.
~piciously.
"What is your theory" he contin-
ued. do you think it possible that
the bleached bones could be of males
and the black of females?"
Possibly" replied the more COM
municative clergyman, 81 am not an
anatomist, however, and can't say what
effects long exposure has on the bone
of the sexes"
"And you," persisted the drummer
to the other. "What is you opinion?
Do you think it possible that the white
bones belong to male infants and the
black to female, or vice versa? That is
the problem that now excites the dis
coverers."
"Really," replied the other, Il don't
know; but, possibly, as you first put it,
the white bones may be of the male
children, and the black of the female"
Shortly after this the clergymen
reached their destination and left the
train. Just as it was about moving off
the drummer, who had been chuckling
to himself the meanwhile, thrust into
the hand of one a card, upon which was
written the words:
Excuse me if | suggest that you
read your Bibles hereafter with greater
care. Had you done SO in the past, you
would have known that boy babies only
were ordered slain by Herod. New

VALUABLE MAPS CHEAP.
Completion Of the United States Geological

Completion Of the United States Geological
Survey In Three New England States.
The complete Typographical map OF
the state of Connecticut has been COM
pleted by the United States geological
survey, and the sheets having been COM
bined in a single large map it is now
ready for distribution. The original sheets
are on a scale of an inch to the mile,
with 20 foot contours, but the reduction
is on a two inch scale, with 100 foot con-
tours. The cost of the entire work was
about $4,000, of which the geological
survey bore half, and the state of Con-
necticut the other half. The mapping
of the entire states of Connecticut, Mas.
sachusetts and Rhode Island has now
been finished, and work during the past
year was pushed forward on the state Of
New York, which is now under Herbert
NJ. Wilson and well under way.
These maps, which are the only ac-
curate and comprehensive topographic
work done in the United States, are in
steady demand. They are too valuable
and expensive for promiscuous distribu-
ton like the average government docu-
ment, but they are given free to all who
apply for them. They are the basis for
nearly all of the development and i'm
provement schemes of the country where
accurate maps are required, and it is
from this point of view that they are a
popular institution with the people. The
maps are given free of charge, but many
who want them and do not know this
offer good round prices for them, as
much as 500 having been offered for a
single sectional sheet, the bidder proba-
bly, being agreeably surprised on receiv-
ing the map and his money back as
well.-Washington Post.

THEY BLEED TOURISTS.

Consul General Crittendon Protests
Against Outrageous Charges.
CITY OF MEXICO, March 23.- The
Two Republics newspaper contains a
strong protest from United States Con-
sui General Crittenden wei the charge
Of $1,000 made for the embalming of
the body of Miss Leila Sherman of the
Raymond and Whitcomb excursion
party, who died on Saturday night.
The consul general denounces the affair
in strong terms and thinks the general
way in which tourists are bled is a
matter requiring decided remedy. The
physicians making the charge claim
that it is entirely justifiable in view of
the fact that the old Egyptian method
OF embalming is still in vogue in
