short while ago this lady, birthday was

took it up in her hand.
Here Prince Oscar drew himself up

now wears it as a trinket ON her bangle.

Death of the Growing Hen.

At a very recent date, in many parts
Of our country, it was a sign Of bad
luck for a.hen to crow. just why, is
difficult to trace. Perhaps because it
was considered the assumption by a
female of masculine prerogatives. When
ever hen dared attempt it, she was
run down by the united efforts of all
the children on the premises, and her
head paid the forfeit.
A recent traveller in Kentucky writes
that while visiting at the country home
of a friend hen was heard to crow.
Instantly the C = was raised: "Catch
herI Kill her:'' He interposed in the
hens behalf by reminding his hosts
that this was an "age Of rights" and
she was therefore not guilty Of any
wrongdoing. They sooffed at his hetero-
doxy, and the clamor that followed pre-
pared him for the return Of the pursuers

nl9lELatest y Absolutely Pure
The Telephone In War.
OOso99S

An interesting experiment of INSTALL
ing telephone by trotting cavalry was
recently successfully undertaken by
some Prussian uhlaps between Berlin
and Potsdam. Two sets of one officer
and two noncommissioned officers pro-
ceeded in the early morning from Ber-
lin to Potsdam. Each set was equipped
with a complete telephone apparatus,
which one of the men carried in
leather case ON his chest, besides the
requisite quantity Of thin wire. The
end of the wine was connected with the
respective towns telephone station,
and the wire was. by means of fork
fixed at the end Of the lance, thrown
over the tops Of the trees along the road.
As each kilometer Of wire was thus sus-
pended halt was made and it was as
certained whether there was connection
with the station. A new kilometer OF
wire was then connected with the for
mer, and on went the men. The two
sets met at Teltow. The wires, having
been respectively tested with their re-
spective stations, were connected, and
telephone connection between Berlin
and Potsdam was established. The dis
tance is about 30 miles, and the whole
thing was done in about four hours. 81

THE ROMANCE OF THE TELEGRAPH.

Some of the Odd Dfficulties Of Operating
. Line Through Queer Countries
A good deal of romance hovers around
the means by which the worlds news is
gathered. The speed and accuracy with
which telegraph messages are trans
mitted between the uttermost parts Of
the earth is marvellous when the condi
tions under which they are sometimes
transmitted are considered.
The Indo-European telegraph line
offers good illustration. 1t runs from
London to Lowestoft ON the east coast
Of England. 1t then dips under the sea
to Emden, ON the German coast, whence
It passes through Germany to the Rus
sian frontier. From this point the wire
passes by way of Warsaw, Rowno, Odes-
sa, the Caucasus. and Tif1is to Persia, and
by Tauris to Teheran, the capital Of the
shah's queer domain. There it joins
the Indian government line which runs
from the Persian capital TO Bushire on
the Persian gulf. Thence the wires run
through Baluchistan, and complete the
route by connecting at Karachi, in
northern India. The operation Of this
immense stretch Of line, passing through
countries of such varying climates and
general characteristics, is obviously one
Of much difficulty. On the snow
swept steppes of Russia the wires are
sometimes snapped like thread by the
rapid fight of fiocks of wild geese. The
poles are cut down and made into fire.
wood by the nomad tribes of the Cau-
casian districts, and the cunning inn
keepers Of Georgia seek to boom their
pest horse trade by deliberately creating
faults in the wires. In certain parts of
the mountainous regions of Asia the
maintenahce of the solitary line involves
no little personal risk and hardship to
the staff hands. Communication is
often cut off by avalanches in the moun-
tain districts. and the work of repairing
after a snowfall of five or six feet is
NO light matter.
These mountain stations are provi-
stoned with several months supplies be-
fore the winter sets in, as the staff will
be in touch with the rest Of the world
by the wire only until the spring
weather opens out the passes In these
supplies are always included a liberal
allowance of books and games where

tedious winter exile.-New York Sun.

Lord Rosse and Hi. WORK.

In his earlier years Lord Rosse used
to be diligent observer with the great
telescope which was completed in the
year 1S45. But think those who knew
Lord Rosse well will agree that it was
more the mechanical processes incidental
to the making of the telescope which
engaged his interest than the actual OBJ
servations with the telescope when 1t
was completed. Indeed one who knew
him we'll said he believed Lord Rosse's
special interest in the great telescope
ceased when the last nail had been
driven into it. But the telescope was
never allowed to lie idle, for Lord Rosse
always had about him some enthusiastic
young man whose delight it was to en-
ploy to the uttermost the advantages Of
his position in exploring the wonders Of
the sky.-Good Words.

CONSUMPTION CURED

An Elixir of Life.
Nothing could be fairer, moro philan-
thropic or carry more Joy in its wake than
the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. c., OF 1873
Pearl street. New York. Perfectly conf
dent that he has an absolute remedy for
ary complaints, he offers through this pa
per to send two bottles free to any reader
who is suffering from lung trouble or con-
sumption, also loss of flesh and all condt-
tions of wasting. He invites those deslr-
GUS of obtaining this remedy to send their
ceive in return the two bottles free, which
will arrest the approach OF death. Already
this remedy, by its timely use, has per-
manentfy cured thousands of cases which
were given up, and death was looked upon
as an early visitor.
knowing his remedy as he does, and be-
ing SO proof-positive of its beneficent re-
snIts, Dr.. Slocum considers it his religious
DUTY, duty which he owes to humanity,
to donate his infallible remedy where It
will assault the enemy in its citadel. and,
by its inherent potency, stay the current
which the shadow OF the grave has been
gradually growing more strongly defined,
causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheap
ness Of the remedy-offered freely-apart
from its inherent strength, is enough to
commend it, and more SO Is the perfect
confidence Of the great chemist making the
offer, who holds out life to those already
becoming emaciated, and says: "Be
cured"
{, The invitation is certainly worthy Of the
consideration of the afflicted, who, for
years, have been taking nauseous nostrums
without effect; who have ostracised them
selves from home and friends to live in
more salubrious climes, where the atmos-
phere is more congenial to weakened lungs,
and who have fought against death with
all the weapons and strength in their
hands, There will be no mistake in send
ing for these free bottles-the mistake will
be in passing the invitation by.
