HEARD EIGHTEEN MILES.
Human Voice Carried From One End Of q
Canyon to the Other.

Human Voice Carried From One End Of a
Canyon to the Other.
Eighteen miles is the longest distance
ON record at which a mans voice has
been heard This occurred in the Grand
canyon of the Colorado, where one man
shouting the name Of Bob at one end,
his voice was plainly heard at the other
end, which is IS miles away.
Lieutenant Foster, on Peary's third
arctic expedition, found that he could
converse with man across the harbor
of Port Bowen, a distance of G, 1896 feet,
or about 1 u miles, and Sir John Frank
lin said that he oonversed with ease at
q distance more than mile. DR.. Young
records that at Gibraltar the human
voice has been heard at a distance Of ten
miles.
Sound has remarkable force in water.
Colladon, by experiments made in the
lake Of Geneva, estimated that a bell
submerged in the sea might be heard at
distance of more than 60 miles. Frank
lin says that he heard the striking to-
gether of two stones in the water half a
mile away. Over water of q surface of
ice sound is propagated with greater
clearness and strength. DR.. Hutton re-
lates that on q quiet part of the Thames,
near Chelsea, he could hear a person
read distinctly at the distance of 140

Keeping Employees Honest.

"Distrust probably makes more
thieves than were ever evolved by the
laws of heredity," said a gentleman re-
Gently who has business in which he
employs large number of men, all
holding positions in which the element
of trust is peculiarly great "In my
business always make my men under
stand that I have the utmost confidence
in them, and the result of this has been
that have never had an employee ex-
hibit the least dishonest trait.
"Put man on his honor and make
him know that he is not being watched,
but being trusted, and he will rarely,
unless disposed to it by heredity, steal.
Of course some men are born thieves
and should never be trusted. They steal
because the influence is too great for
them to resist. Often surrounding a
man with all sorts of devices and sys-
TENS to prevent him from stealing has
the effect of causing him to look out for
a way of beating the bank. We are all
strangely susceptible to that much talk
ed of force, suggestion-more than we
appreciate-and when the very environ
ment in which we work suggests dis
honesty every minute it is not much
wonder that it has a very positive effect
upon the mind in causing it to think
dishonesty. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

THE NURsERY-ITS IMPORTANCE.

The census bureauIgives us the follow
ing interesting figures. The number
OF nurseries in the United States is
4,5lO. Their value is estimated at
1887, 1876. They occupy 1886 acres
OF land; the capital invested is $52, 425,
669. Employment is given 10 1861
men and 2,279 women. Certainly this
is Il remarkably good showing, resulting
as it does from about fifty years work,
and still the nursery business is CON
stantly growing and spreadingln every
direction, and there is practically no
limit to the call for trees and plants.
venture to say that there is no indus
try which has done more for mankind
and the country at large than this

among the most important and benefi-
cal industries of the land would be to

of the vast amount of trees, plonts,

What great benefit to this country
The good these men are doing will last

said that he who makes two blades of
grass to grow where before but one

ask you i'll all sincerity, What position
does the nursery occupy in this country
of ours?
In the nursery the choicest trees and
plants are prOpagated, tested, selected,
and are then sent out over the universe
to do their work in foliage, fruit and
flowers. Where were those choice fruit
trees raised that are furnishing the
world with fruit2 They did not grow

conifers, shade and ornamental trees

A CONVENT PRISON.
The Consideration With Which Women
Prisoners Are Treated I'm Austria.

The Confederation with which Women
Prisoners Are Treated In Austria.
In Austria woman, no matter what
she may do, is never regarded or treated
quite as criminal She may rob, burn,
kjll--set every law at defiance, in fact,
and break all the commandments in
turn-without fear of ever being called
upon to face gallows. She is not even
sent to an ordinary prison to do penance
for her sins. The hardest fate that can
befall her indeed is to be compelled to
take up her abode for time in con-
vent. There the treatment melted out to
her is not so much justice seasoned with
mercy as mercy seasoned, and none too
well, with justice. Even in official re-
ports she is an "erring sister "-one who
has, it is true, strayed from the narrow
path, but quite Involuntary.
The convent to which Vienna sends
its erring sisters is at Neudorf, only a
few miles away from the city. There
any woman who is convicted of either
crime or misdemeanor is at once trans
ported. The judge before whom she is
tried decides Of course how long she
shall remain. He may, too, if he deems
it right, give orders that while there she
shall pass day in solitary confinement
from time to time and on these occa-
sions be less plentifully supplied with
food than usual.
In the great majority of cases, how
ever, no instructions of this kind are
given. The women are simply handed
over to the keeping of the superior of
the convent, to- be dealt with as she
thinks best. She houses them, feeds
them, clothes them and provides them
with instruction and occupation, and the
government gives her for what she does
80 kreutzers day for each prisoner un-
der her care.
So long as these women are in the
convent the full responsibility for their
safe keeping and general we'll being
rests on the superior, and in return she
is allowed practically free hand in
her management of them. There are, it
is true, certain regulations in force with
regard to the amount of work they may
be required to do and the punishments
that may be inflicted on them, but these
are not Of nature to interfere seriously
with her freedom of action. She is, in
fact, virtually an autocrat within her
own domain, and there are not half a
dozen women in Europe today who have
SO much power for the veal or woe Of
their fellows as she has, -Cornhill Mag

The Daughter.

The superior wisdom of the feminine
mind is shown in the fact that the
mother never rebels against her daugh-
ter's guidance. She is the first to dis
cover the young woman's wisdom and
she enjoys the security and sense of rest
which come from feeling that she has
some one to depend upon, some one to
think and plan for her. She regards it
as providential that as the husband Of
her youth grows careless, as his judg-
ment becomes Enthusiastically as to de-
tails, as he grows inclined to shirk the
little questions which arise in the con-
duct of the household, the daughter
quite naturally takes up the neglected
duties and assumes the management of
the affairs. OF course it is often diff
cult for the mother to live up to the
course the daughter marks out. She
sometimes finds herself deficient in the
strength or wisdom the daughter expects
from her. But this is not real trouble,
for under it all is the comforting sense
of being guided by strong will, the
sense of being free from responsibility
for the social and domestic welfare of
the family is filling the young woman's
soul with satisfaction, f1attering her
with the consciousness of her great use
fulness, making her realize her impor-
lance in the world. Kansas City Star.

from the woods and won their affection

many particulars about these she has

pleasures of insect observation, etc.
That insects can discriminate between

OF course, Germany:llas no use for
the Monroe doctrine. 1t interferes
with her chances to jump claims.

Erastus Wiman, who was convicted
of forgery last year and sentenced to
the state prison for the term of five
and a half years, is now a free man.
The supreme court reversed the court
below, and now the court of appeals
sustains the supreme court. Wiman
had overdrawn his account with the
firm of r. g, Dunn & Co, and the firm
charged him with forgery in the use of
the firms name in doing so. He was
entitled to,a share of the profits of the
firm. The question before the court
was, whether such being the case, he
had the right to sign the firms name.
The court holds that he had authority
to do so. His conviction Of the crime
of forgery is therefore made nullity.

An Unreasonable Request.

A gentleman was hurrying down the
street in a biting frost. His topcoat was
buttoned right up to his ears, and the
very thought of unbuttoning it made him
shudder. Still he would have liked to
know how late it was, but as for con
sulting the watch that nestled in his
waistcoat pocket-ugh Just then anoth-
er gentleman came into view. The two
gradually approached each other, and
the first gentleman who wanted to know
how late it was hazarded the question:
"Sir, do you happen to know what
time it is?''
The stranger stood still, pulled off his
right glove, unbuttoned his overcoat
from chin to waist and drew out his
watch as the piercing wind played
about his unprotected chest. He held
it up to the dim light of the street lamp
and carefully examined the dial plate
and said:
eyes, know now" With these words
he replaced his watch and made tracks
without satisfying the curiosity of his
interlocutor. -Kattowitzer Zeitung.

Preliminaries of Her Stage Debut.
In writing of her frs appearance on

tells in The Ladies Home Journal that
the opportunity to play was presented
her by Manager McCauley at his Louis
vile theater. The star Who was playing
at the theater had failed to attract pay

Mrs. de Navarro's stepfather and her
business manager, suggested to Mr.. Nc
Cauley that she be gwen a chance to
play. The offer was gladly accepted, and
Mrs. de Navarro writes that there was
only one rehearsal, and it was called for
the next morning. "Cn my way to the
cathedral, +" she adds, II was enchanted
to see posters on the fences making the
announcement. The main part of the
poster was devoted to advertising Mines

Robin Redbreast.

The country people of England, as
we'll as of several other countries, have
an idea that the red of the robins breast
was caused by drop of blood which
fell upon it at the crucifxion. Accord
ing to the story, the robin, commiserat-
ing the condition of Christ, tried to
pluck the crown of thorns from his
brow, and, in doing so, got its breast
wet with the blood flowing from the
wounds. The color became permanent,
being transmitted from generation to
generation, and thus, according to the
legend, the robin is a perpetual remind
er Of the sufferings of Christ.
