Mark the boards of the pairs and take
them apart. Over the inside of one
half o. each stretch piece of drum
head and fasten securely around the in
ner edge with small lacks, c. Put on
the other halves and screw firmly to-
gether. When the beads are thorough
ly dry they will be very hard and res
onant. Find the center of the heads,
and with sharp instrument make
hole the size of a pin in both. The tel
ephonc is then ready to put up. Make
hole three-fourths of an inch in diam
eter through the side of the house
where the wire is to enter. Draw the
wire, No. 10 copper, through the hole
from the outside, and fasten the end
to a stick to prevent it from drawing
out.
Between the houses the wire may be
hung on trees, buildings or poles, with
pieces of large. loose cord. 1t is pos
sible to 60 around corner by fasten-
ing the wire often and making the
curve gradual, but the straighter the
line the better it will work, and IL
must enter the house as nearly at right
angles as possible. The wire should
not touch any hard substance in any
place, for as the operation of the tele
phone depends upon the vibration of
the wire anything that tends to stop
the vibrations will tend to prevent its
working successfully. Make the open
ing and secure the wire in the house
at the other end of the line in the same
manner as at the first. 1t is we'll to go
over the line two or three times, draw
ing the wire as tight as possible and
taking up the slack at both ends. When
the wire is tight, have some one hold it
firmly just outside the first house; take
out the stick and put the wire through
the hole in one of the vibrators, draw
it tight and fasten by putting the end
though a plain, fiat button and tying
a knot, at C. The tension on the wire
will hold the vibrator so firmly that
two small nails driven in the wall I'M
der it tn prevent it from slipping down,
is all the fastening necessary. Put
the other vibrator in position at the
other end of the line and the telephone
is ready for use.
DO not be discouraged if it does not
work very well at first, for often the
wire will touch at some place that has
been overlooked. The vibrators must
be at right angles with the wire, or
the wire will draw aid cut the drum
heads. A new wire will probably
stretch after time and need tighten
ing, for loose wire will not yibrate. In
the winter loose cloth may be tackled
around the wire where it enters the
house. Lines have been made to work
successfully for one mile over rough
ground and it is interesting to see
how quickly the vibrations will go over
that distance. The call is made by
rapping on the button with any con-
venient article.-Orange Judd Farmer.

HOW HE WON.
The Stroke OF Genius That Gave a Well
known Reading Clerk His Place.

The Stroke OF Genius That Gave a Well
Known Reading Clerk His Place.
One of the interesting incidents at
the opening session of new congress
IL the selection of the reading clerk
of the house. The reading clerk is APP
pointed by the clerk of the house, but
candidates for the place must take part
in competitive speaking contest" be-
fore the house. John A. Reeve, who was
reading clerk during Harrison's admin
istration, was a politician from Cairo,
ILL.,, and one of the best-known charac-
tiers in Washington at the time. Reeves
tells this story:
81 didn't suppose had any show for
the place when it came to the test" said
he, "for most of the candidates were
college men, and some were elocution-
ists, while the only elocution had ever
practiced was calling hogs in southern
Illinois, though l had been able to get
up in political meeting and make the
fellows on the back seats hear me; so
l thought 1 would go into the contest
anyhow, and do my best in my own
way. But you ought To have heard
those elocutionists; the way they rolled
their RS and Kissed their SIS, and said
'ah' and 1-P was a caution! Some Of
them didn't talk like human beings,
and others had voices so rich and melo-
dious you couldn't hear them 40 feet
away. .. ..
''By the time my turn came l had
sized up the hall and knew just about
where to throw my voice, and 1 de-
termined to make myself heard IL 1
did nothing else. Each candidate had
received copy of the house bill to read.
I noticed that the other fellows start
ed out this way: 'Uh BILL and so on.
Now, 'uh' is sound that won't carry,
and you can't attract the attention OF
the house by grunting 'Uh!' So when
1 started sang out in loud, clear voice
that took them off their feet: 'A-a-a-a-a
bill!'-long "a They weren't used to
that, and wondered what had broken
loose, but it seemed to catch them. 1
saw / was on the right track, so went
on singing her out clear as a bell, and
when / got warmed up felt as good
as ever did in the hottest speech Of a
campaign.
"The thing they gave me to read was
q terror. 1t had words in it as long
as dictionary, but l hurried up and
slid through them, and was doing
pretty well, when I looked down the
page and saw lot of Spanish proper
names. Now, 1 didn't know Spanish
from Apache. but ] was going about
a hundred words a minute, so without
stopping I gave them two verses of a
little German poem had learned when
q boy, and hang me il a man in that hall
seemed TO know the difference. except
Congressman Niedringhaus, of st.
Louis. You ought to have seen him
laugh when he heard his native tongue
worked off on the house of represents
tives for Spanish.
"Yes, got the place, and it was the
long "a and German poetry that saved
me."-N. Y. Sun.

COMPULSORY LABOR.

Work at the Stone Pile Is just the Thing
for Jail Frequenters.
Stone breaking may not be available
rs employment for all convicts, yet 4
majority of the counties could put theiI
prisoners at such work with beneficial
effect, both upon the country and the
stone breaker. Too often the county
iails are looked upon, especially by
tramps, chiefly as snug retreats from,
the winters cold. With warm quar-
ters, fair amount of wholesome TODD
and nothing to do, the averaS. Jail
prisoner feels himself very we'll fixed
indeed. His purpose is to live without
work, Jail life has no injurious effect
upon his already bad reputation, and
the restraint put upon his movements
Is more than compensated for bv the
absence of care and work. If every
prisoner could be made to work at stone
breaking regularly and vigorously. the
county expenses would be greatly re-
duced, materials for better roads would
be In ample supply. and the prisoner
might be taught the virtues of honest
toll. s
The wonder is that the simple plan o.
stone breaking has not been adopted in
every county. In most cases no iegis.
lation Is necessary. The decision rests
with the supervisors and the other
county officials. Some action OF this
kind will have to be taken before many
years, for the taxpayers are becoming
weary of supporting yagabonds in COM
Portable idleness. Compulsory labor
can be made an effective agent for good,
and the inmates o. .he Jail are the ones
most in need of the discipline.-Troy

FEEDING OYSTERS.
A Plan to Fatten Them on Pure Ma
terials.

A Plan to Fatten Them on Pure Ma
terials.
Oysters, being scavengers, fatten fast
est in ocean waters fed by river drain
age. This explains why oystermen
transfer the oysters by ship loads from
the bays along the Atlantic coast, where
they multiply rapidly, but where, in
consequence of the lack of food, they
are stunted in growth, to the estuaries
of Connecticut, New York and New Jer-I
sey. 1t is believed, however, by many
of the oyster growers that if the BIZ
valves could be fattened in pure sea
water they would be of better flavor,
as well as more wholesome. The diff
Guilty has been to provide the proper
food. After seven years of experiment
these oyster growers have hopes that
the difficulty has been overcome. The
new method, which aims to supply the
requirements of pure water and the
necessary food, has been put in prac-
tice on the shores of eastern Virginia.
Situated, as it is, near the end of the
peninsula, there are no streams of any
size flowing into the bay, and the water
is as unpolluted as that of the ocean it
self. In the low, marshy ground that
fringes the bay a number of parallel
canals are to be excavated, the sea water
being admitted into them by sluice
gates. In these canals the oyster will
be grown. The mollusks will find there
their natural food, which consists of
diatoms and other minute algae, which
are reproduced in prodigious quantities
under the conditions existing of the
mixture of salt water with small per-
centage of fresh water. The practica-
bility of the plan has already been
shown on a small scale Thus far the
practice has been followed of trans
planting the small oysters from the beds
of the canals. But with the plan in full
operation this will not be necessary
as the canals open right on the breed
ing grounds, and during the earlysum-
mer, when the spawn is given of, it viii
tioat into the canals, and oyster beds
will be planted naturally. Other ad
yantages claimed for the new method
of cultare are the easy exclusion of the
enemies of the oyster and the convent.
