A Military Telephone.

The Belgian authorities have recent
ly made some interesting experiments
with the ~loud-speaking telephone in
strument and electrical fre-alarm an
planes of the Single Wire Multiple
Telephone Signal Company, of London.
In addition to the apparatus to test the
adaptability Of which the experiments
were arranged, a new portable loud
speaking combined telephone and tele-
graph instrument, specially designed
for military purposes in the field dur
ing operations formed a feature of in
terest, the extreme portability and light
weight of the whole apparatus attract
ing considerable attention. It was
proved that although the wires con-
Meeting the instrument were cut, Morse
signals were quite audible even when
several feet Of damped Irvine were in
terposed in the circuit. It is under
stood that the British military authori-
ties are taking an interest in the in
strument, and that a demonstration of
it's special suitability for military our
poses will shortly be given.

New Electrical Fields.

The power Of electricity to do heat
Ing under every variety OF conditions,
to handle all varieties of the atoms of
matter, and to operate as a chemical
and physical agent directly in and
through all parts Of the living system,
necessarily gives it an almost unlimit-
ed field. Not only can it supply light
by heating to brilliant incandescence
either carbon or platinum, but it can
no less readily Ali any demand for heat
ing, or for cooking by means Of heat
ing. It, with great sureness and refine
ment Of action, executes plating and
electrotyping. It's immense and ire
sistible energy attacks with complete
success the difficulties of smelling and
of the reduction Of refractory ores. And
with more than the power of miracle it
m to the help of the surgeon and
the physician, on lines of medical efici-
ency almost coincident with those OF
creative energy.

more simply. In particular did she OBJ
ject to the bride taking so much time
at her toilet when friends called.
Inc young and spoiled southern
beauty did not take this correction with
5000 grace. One evening, when her
mother-in-law gave an entertainment
and sent a message to the girls room.
telllng her to COM down to the parlor,
as all the guests had arrived, the Bos-
lonlans were shocked by the speedy ap-
pearance OF a blue-eyed young woman
IN a loose wrapper, who made the
laughing excuse that she had not had
time to dress.
The end Of it all was that young Mrs.
Lawrence oon returned to Louisville,
and by a special act of the Kentucky
legislature at it's next session she be-
came Sally Ward again. OF course
there was a great row, and much talk
in the newspapers of that day. The
LaWrences aired their feelings in the
press, and the Wards were bitter in
their denunciations. A few years later
she was married to DR.. Robert w.
W
Hut, much against the will of his
family, who opposed his making a di-
Vorced mi his wife.
They entertained lavishly for many
years but at his death he left the young
widow impoverished, and she returned
once more to Louisville.
She did not marry again for some
time, but she finally chose an early
admirer, We're P. Armstrong, a retired
merchant. The marriage took place
oVer the barber shop, and the wedding
breakfast was served there. They
moved to the Gait House afterward,
and there she made her home until
her death. OF late years she had lived
very quietly, but her social leadership
was disputed.

= VEAL CURE FOR SUNBURN-
Damaged Compilations May Be Restored
by Veal Outlet Applications.

by Veal Outlet Applications.
The cry which rises annually from
every seashore, country and mountain
resort in the land this year met with
a new response. Pasty lotions of more
or less harmless properties are no long
er advocated as a cure for sunburn.
Compilations which have been given a
crimson tinge by too long exposure to
summer suns o find their speediest
cure in a veal outlet. The veal cure"
as it is called, has leaped into a popu-
larity which indicates that it is more
than ordinarily potent.
Butchers at the summer watering
places have ceased to wonder at the
loud demand for veal. They know that
when the summer girl returns from her
sea bath, walk or drive, her first
thought is for a veal outlet that shall
preserve the delicacy of her complex
ion. The proper procedure is to have
the outlets shaved into very thin slices.
These raw slices must then be carefully
laid all over the face, and lightly kept
in place by passing narrow ribbon or
tape over them. The result is not be-
coming, but that is unimportant. The
victim then retires to a perfectly dark
ened room and lies down for at least
half an hour. When the veal becomes
warm by contact with the face, it
should be turned over and again ap-
piled.
When the face has ceased to burn the
veal may be removed and the face
gently washed with elder flower water.
The face should not be again exposed
to the sun the same day, and no soap
should be used on it for a day or two.
When these precautions are observed
the veal cure is guaranteed to be efiec-
tual.-Philadelphia Times.

Making fhe Clyde.

"Glasgow made the Clyde, and the
Clyde made Glasgow" Toward the
close of the last century the true trad
ing spirit had been aroused among the
inhabitants of the building city, and
it was not long before they perceived
that if the community was ever to rise
to .eminence in that direction the lily
must become a port open to the COM
merce Of the world. The task was one
of ~herculean dimensions, but they set
themselves to it with a determination
of purpose which was not to be daunt-
ed by any degree of difficulty.
Much of the best engineering enter
prise and skill of the world have been
devoted to the altering, widening, mar
rowing and deepening of the channel,
according to the requirements at differ
ent parts of the course. AS a specimen
of changes that have been made during
the progress of the work, it may be
mentioned that when, in 1889, the act
OF Parliament was passed which de-
fined the boundaries of the river, one
of the most extensive textile factories
in the country stood in the line of what
was considered to be the best course for
the river to take, and the water is now
deep enough owe the site to allow
ocean liners to sail. Many experiments
were resorted to ere success was
achieved in the deepening at particu-
lar places, and the confinement Of the
water within the desired limits. Sew
eral Of the obstacles encountered might

which was found to occupy the bed of
the stream over an area of 425 feet by
32O, which came within ten feet Of the
surface of the water. The discovery
of this was a surprise to all concerned,
but the breaking up and removal of
it was at once proceeded with in the
ordinary course. 1t took ten years to
do it, however, and during that time
10000 o of rock and clay were
raised by dredging at the place, while
a sum of $3.50, 600 was found to have
been expended in the operations.-Scot,

played unusual force of character, but
the politeness Of her Inc and her
kindness OF heart were SO great that
she was a %favorite with both sexes and
with all classes.
Mrs. Ward and her daughters we're
known at all the famous watering
places in the south and east, from
White Sulphur Springs to Saratoga At
the latter place she met her first hus-
band. He was Bigelow Lawrence, of
Boston, son of Abbott Lawrence, one
Of the wealthiest merchants of New
England. The elder Lawrence had been
in Congress, and was one of the COM
missioners who arranged with Lord
Ashburton the northeastern boundary
treaty between England and the United
States. He refused a seat in President
to Harvard College.
His o was a great catch, and the
match was thought to be a most eligi-
BILE one. But there was no congeniality
between the gay young southern belle
and the son of the Puritan merchant.
The elder Lawrences were plain peo-
pie, and quickly showed their dis
approval of southern ways when they
came on to attend their sons wedding.
This was celebrated at the Ward home
in Louisville on the customary scale of
sumptuousness.
The young couple remained at the
Ward mansion some weeks and then
vent on to Boston. The mother-in-law
was shocked by the appearance of the
Kentucky girl in a very attractive, but
rather unusual, travelling costume,
made up of a pink dress, flower trim
med hat and slippers. She undertook
to reform her new daughters taste in
dress and her ways of life. She was
ordered to leave off cosmetics, to Else
early and attend prayers and to dress

IN CHINA.
Pi.iab'. Lot and treatment of Blind

PitiabIe Lot and Treatment Of Blind
In China the subject knows no such
thing as liberty and the individual, who
is but the fraction of the unit Of So
ciety, which is the family, knows no
rights as an individual, says the Balti-
more Sun. This being true, slavery is
the necessary consequence. Human
beings are bought and sold as chattels
and quite frequently a childless man
buys a boy from poor parents to save
his family from going out of existence.
A form Of domestic slavery, in which
families of means buy s%lave-girls, is
very common here in Canton, and pur-
chasing them in early girlhood for from
$40 to $500, according to their beauty
and health, they work for their own
ers without wages until they are of a
manageable age, when they are sold
In marriage or disposed of for other
purposes, according to the price offered.
But there is a kind of slavery more
appalling still, of which I desire espec-
tally to write-namely, the slavery of
blind girls. Passing down the streets
of Canton at night my attention was
called to numbers of blind girls from
IA to Is years of age, dressed in bril-
liant outer garments, with their faces
rouged and their hair ornamented
with flowers. A woman carrying a mu-
steal instrument led several of these
girls, and I have since learned that
they were owned by this mistress, who
conducted them by night to the lowest
parts Of the city and by their playing,
singing and most disreputable ways she
secures an income through them that
enables her to live in ease and comfort.
I have met no class of persons, not ex-
cepting the so~re-covered beggar or the
decaying leper, that seemed so pitia-
BILE as these blind singing girls. 1t is
regarded an affection for a girl to be
born in a Chinese family, and when the
girl is blind her life is one ceaseless ne
glect and cruelty and often, if the fam
lily is poor, she is sold for a small
amount to n of these dealers in hui
man bodies, who plies her nefarious
business until death snatches her vic,
tim from her.

To Test a Diamond.

There is an easy, simple way to tell
If a diamond is genuine. Make a small
dot on a piece of paper with a lead
pencil and look at it through the dia-
mond. If it shows but a single dot the
diamond is genuine. If it shows more
than one or the mark appears scat
tered it is false, no matter what it cost

when a divorce was such a rarity in

her social leadership.
She was married twice, but, though

contracted after her second husband

had passed her ift:eth year, and it still
was the most exciting event that the
upper ten Of Kentucky knew.
Her family was one of the oldest and
best of the planting aristocracy of the
south. Her father was Robert J. Ward,
who was once speaker of the Kentucky
legislature. Her mother was a Flour
noy, daughter of Major Matthews Flour
noy, a revolutionary soldier, likewise
Of an old and wealthy family.
Sally was born in Scott county, but
the family's home was in Louisville,
though another residence was kept in
New Orleans. Mr.. Ward owned one of
the largest cotton plantations in Louis
lana, and he was also an extensive
dealer and Spectator in the great
southern staple. His Louisville home
was a fine mansion, large and pecu-
liarly we'll adapted to entertainments.
In those days persons were not as
wealthy as now, yet Mr.. Ward at his
Louisville home spent $50, 900 a year,
and his hospitality IA boundless.
The entertainments Mrs. Ward gave
were the talk of the south. She set
the fashion in dress. and Sally Ward
