The long Winter evenings can be
very profitably devoted to reading, but
there are some things that we must
read the year round. One of these is
a local paper: the best in the county

We are able. by special arrangements
with the publishers, to offer "Woman-
kind" free for year to every paid-in-
advance subscriber to our paper, and

that no home paper in America con-
talns more practical value to woman.
Bright stories, clever poems, the latest
fashions. news of woman's work eyerv-
where, articles on brotherhood"
"Cultivation OF Flowers" a woman's
parliament for the discussion of mat
tiers of interest, are few of the bright
fea lures of "Womankind."
To the head of the house we offer on
the same terms Farm News" Fan able
agricultural paper, edited by practi-
cal farmer (Miller Purvis, ESQ.,, late
state lecturer of the Ohio farmers
Alliance), and filled each month with
suggestions from able correspcndents,
that make it an absolute necessity TO
every wide awake farmer. This pa
per is yours for the asking, provided
you are subscriber to our paper.

The following instance of Sterne' un-

been hitherto recorded. In "Tristram

following we'll known passage:
"When to crafty private appetite,
it is once resolved upon that an inno-
cent and a helpless creature shall be sac
riticcd, it's an easy matter to pick up
sticks enough from any thickct where it
has strayed to make a fire to offer it up
with"

Philadelphia.s Ancient Lookup.

An old English dungeon has been
brought to light by the tearing down of
building III the rear of pickle factory
on Spruce street, below Second. The
building is thought to have been more
than 300 years old. Every brick i'll it
was brought from England, and the
building was once the pride of the little
colony that lived here. 1t was original
ly, it is said, the courthouse of the set
tlement, and underneath the ground
were those dungeons or cells i'll which
prisoners were kept. 1t is supposed that
the cells We're used as temporary places
Of confinement, and not for prisoners
serving long terms, much the same as
the "lockups' or station houses Of to-
day. The bricks are as solid us in the
days Of old and will be used again in
another building. The old house has
been burned out several times, but the
walls We're never damaged much. The
whole neighborhood is an interesting
one. The building adjoining the one
torn down has fourth floor, which is
windowless. Instead of the usual Win
dows it has portfolios, slanting down

Domestic Architecture In Chicago.

The inhabitants of Chicago are the
least curious and observing people in
the world. According to their own news
papers, they permitted one Fl. H. Holmes
to construct in their city house so ex-
traordinary, so full of hidden doors and
secret passages and acid proof watts that
it would have attracted thousands of
curious visitors had it been built any
where else, But the guileless Chicago
ans suspect nothing. Neither the man
who issued the building permit nor the
men who did the building saw anything
unusual abort the house What is the
matter? Is all Chicago blind, or are
acid proof watts and secret passages part
and parcel of the ordinary Chicago
dwelling? Perhaps there is an interest
ing chapter to be written about domestic
architecture i'll Chicago. - Milwaukee

WHAT A FROGS CRoAK DID.


VenC1pn OF bne lelepnObe
1t is not common knowledge, except
to those familiar with electrical and
telephone history, that the first telephone
was constructed in Racine, Wis, and
that the inventor, Dr. S. D. Cushman,
is now a resident of Chicago. His offices
are in the Stock Exchange building.
Here the venerable inventor, who built
the first telegraph lines i'll this part of
the ''far west" pursues his business
with more alertness in affairs than the
average young man.
In corner of the room is large,
worn piece of muslin, on which is
painted in thin color a representation of
a telegraph line stretching away i'll the
distance, connected with crude instru-
ment set on two logs, near which frog
is sitting by stream. This old relic
represents the telegraph line of ''good
cedar posts" which DR.. Cushman con-
structed west from Racine for the Erie
and Michigan Telegraph company in
1851, and the experimental lightning
arrester which led to his discovery.
1t is a reminder of the days when DIR.
Morse in the pioneer days of telegraphy.
On his desk is the first telephone trans
mitter, constructed in 1851, 20 years be-
fore the Bell patents We're taken out. 1t
is a small, square box, with a speaking
orifice and containing mechanism on
the same principle as that of the modern
transmitter.
In 1851 DR.. Cushman undertook the
construction of lightning arrester, his
object being to take The lightning that
struck the wire and run it into the
ground, the instrument being so con-
structed that it would not interfere with
the light current used i'll telcgraphing.
This instrument was placed out on the
prairie ON two logs, and i'll order to
know when it had operated triple
magnet, with sheet of thin iron at
the poles, similar i'll construction to a
modern "receiver, was placed in the
corner of the box. In case the lightning
passed through the instrument the cleo
to magnet would pull this strip of iron
down into the range of a permanent
magnet, which would retain it until the
instrument was Inspected
A similar device was placed in tho
basement OF the building at Racine and
connected with the other end Of the line.
One day while a thunderstorm was COM
ing up and DR.. Cuslman was watching
the instrument the croaljng of frogs
was heard l3 miles away. This is the
explanation of how the old painting
with the crude instrument and the
croaking frog is identified with the dis
covery of the telephone,
Dr. Cushman is the inventor of the
fire alarm system i'll use in Chicago His

ber of his electrical patents Chicago

Heat Value of Coal.

The important fact has over and over
again been stated by those wo have in
vestigated the subject with scientific ex-
actness that only about 6 or s per cent
of the total heat value of coal is utilized
in an engine by heating transformed
into power. In tracing up this loss it is
stated that there are required some
1909 degrees of heat, or heat units
not degrees of temperaturc-to change
one pound Of water into steam, while
during the absorption of this amount of
heat the temperature of the water re-
mains at 212 degrees. This immense
amount of steam is rendered latent and
does not sensibly affect the thermometer
Scientific authorities explain the cause
of this loss i'll the steam engine as due
to the fact that the 900 degrees absorbed
by water in being transferred into steam
PIP degrees are apparent upon ther-
mometer, and which, added to 900,
make up the 1909 degrees above men,
tiOned-go into the engine unindicated
by the thermometer, leave in the same
manner and go to waste. New York

Eccentric Monkish sculptors.

Tho work of tho monkish sculptors.
both i'll wood and stone, shows a vast
amount Of humor. Witness the gar
goyles of our old churches and the
devils, half human, half animal, which
adorn the upper galleries and form the
corbels and brackets of many cathedrals.
These ono can scarcely believe to have
been modelled seriously as conceptions
Of the spirit Of evil, for, if tho doctrine
of the personality of the devil We're held
faithfully, it is scarcely probable that
artists would have expended their satire
upon as terrible and vindictive person
as the arch tiend, nor would the monks
have allowed their misereres and stalls
to be decorated with hurlesques of his
satanic majesty. Good Words.

Pronunciation Of "Bicycle.-

The constantly growing bicycle fad
calls attention to the large number of
cases of mispronunciation of the word
"bicycle. There is certain class Of
people, particularly New York's fash
ionable set, which insists upon giving
the "y" Il long sound, as i'll "cycle, :"
forgetting that a prefix or suffix often
changes the sound of the vowel ~" !"
Still others 80 to the other extreme and
give the ''y" the sound Of "ee, but the
best usage makes the ''y" short and
pronounces the word "bi-sik-l" But
even among those who give the "y" the
short sound there is a disposition to
place the accent on the second syllable
instead of on the first, where it belongs
When word comes into such common
use as bicycle" it is we'll to learn to
pronounce it correctly. Troy Times.
