Where the Telegraph Fails.

There was a man who lived in Lon
don many years ago who had once
been elected member of parliament
and never neglected an opportunity TO
emphasize the fact. He was quite an
infidel as to new discoveries and the
sew sciences, being perfectly satisfied
that if the world should turn over all
the water would spill out of his well
and only giving in to steam locomo-
tives by slow degrees.
But all the via!s of his contempt
were poured out upon the idea of tel
egraph, and he was wont To say that
nobody need try to come ''the green"
over him in th-t way, for he had been
an NJ. p. Finally highroad was
built, and one day workmen began to
put up telegraph posts right in front of
his house and to stretch the wire. His
exultant neighbOrs promptly asked

A HOrrid Superstition.

We all know a hOrrid custom of the
past, which was that of human saeri-
flee in conjunction with the erection of
building or the construction Ofa bridge.
Ii was supposed that no such supersti-
ton was discovered among the Dra-
vidO-Tibetan Races. \ correspondent
writes TO Nature that this belief does
exist.
There was ridiculous story rife in
Bengal not so long ago that the Queen
Of England, for some purpose unknown,
wanted the heads of five children from
each village. All the villagers hid and
were prepared to fight for their chill
dren. 1t took months before the peO-
pie could be made to believe how utter
ly absurd was the story. After while
it was found out that the report of
children having been wanted arose
from the fact that foundation was to
be built for great railroad bridge. 1t
was discovered that among the people
living in the past it had been the eus-
tom to sacrifice victim when any
thing OF importance in the way of
building was undertaken. Then the
stories Of former ages, when these acts
were carried on, had not passed away,
and they remain in folklore. At least
the dread of the Bengal coolies was
based on tradition.

One Got Two Baths

There is a family over on the West
side in which there is pair Of twin
girls. They are years old, and resem-
bic each other so marvelOusly that only
the mother can tell which Is Gladys
and which is Grace.
On Saturday night, just before bed
time, the mother issued the order for
baths. The older children took theirs,
and along about o'clock il was the
turn of the twins. They were undress-
ed and waiting.
The mother took Gladys into the
bathroom and gave her a thorough
scrubbing. Then she allowed the mite
to play in the water a few moments,
and after that put her on the rug,
dried her, powdered her and put her
Eightie on.
Just at that time the grocery boy
came and the mother had 10 run down
stairs and take provisions. After she
had put everything away she came
back, grabbed up a twin and took her
to the bathroom. The little girl did
not say much. After she was ba.bed
she seampered back 10 her bedroom.
There was whispered consultation
between the twins and they both be-
gan TO laugh as loudly a. they could:
''What are you youngsters laughing
at?' asked the mother, u she cssuie III
TO the room.
Nothing" they protested between
giggles.
''But you are insisted the mother.
"Well," said Gladys, rolling about
on the floor in merriment, ''yOu gave
me two baths and didn't give sister
any."-BuffalO Express.
