The Telephone I'm Honolulu.

Each family of standing in Honolulu
keeps telephone, for which the charge
is ten dollars n year. The invitations
to all social functions are sent by tele-
phone. This is not only a saving to the
hostess in the matter of cards and post
age, but it also obviates the necessity
of the physical labor that attaches to
such work. Some houses have n dozen
telephones scattered about the differ
ent rooms, so that the family may COM
municate with friends without having

Bishop Simpson preached some years

wire was connected with the respect

wire was, by meansof fork fixed at the
end of the lance, thrown over the tops
of the trees along the road. As each

whether there was connection with the
station. A new kilometer Of wire was
then connected with the former, and on
went the men. The two sets met at
Teltow. The wires, having been re.

Can Ants talk

| was one day standing in my gar-
den near the trunk Of an old willow
tree, up which a scattered line of ants
was crawling. After time I observed
On occasional straegler coming down
IN the opposite direction. Here and
there q couple of ants. ascending and

Presently at about five feet from the
ground, l smearel little hollow l..
the trunk witha large spoonful 0,
thick treacle, to sec how long it would
remain undiscovered.
then went away for q short time,
and on my return found about a dozen
ants busily feasting Oh the treasure.
A minute or two later one Of the feast
ers cravled slowly down the trunk
with heavy feet, and when near the
ground met n friend, whom he sud
denly arrested on his way up, and with
his antcnnac, which he piled vigor.
ouslv, held good talk. What was
said ] know not, but the friend knew,
and thereupon marched steadily on up
the tree to the newly found treasure.
Meanwhile, the bearer Of the good tid
ings made his own way quickly back
to the nest, few yards off in the grass
to which I watched him. he was soon
lost to view, sbut, beyond all doubt,
soon spread the news OF ftreasurc trovc

= Curious Railroad Contract.

The Great Western railroad of Eng
land has just had to pay $500, 600 tc
free itself from the obligation to stop
every train at Swindon station for ten
minutes. In 1871, before the road had
cached Bristol, it made an agreement
for 90 years with firm of builders to
hold every train carrying passengers,
mot being sent express or for special
purposes, for a reasonable period of
about ten minutes" at Swindon, in
consideration of the erection of suitable
refreshnent rooms, for which a rent of
a penny year was to be paid. The rail
road soon found out the Inconvenience
of the arrangement and tried to break
it. The courts in 1916 and in 1872 held
that express" did not mean in the con-
tract what is row meant by an express
train, but the price asked for the annul-
ment of the concession was always more
than the company was willing to pay.
After fight of over so years it has
been driven by the competition of other
roads to buy out its opponents, and the
ten minute stop of fast expresses at
Swindon is now a thing of the past
