The Senator explained the purpose
OF tho measure was to put a stop to

people, owing to the financial distress.
Both old parties, said the Senator, be-
ieved in this plan in their Platform,

LONG-DlSTANcE TELEPHONE.
Instances In Which 1t Has Given Pleasure
to Message Senders

Instances In Which 1t Has Given Pleasure
to Message Senders.
good many stories are told of the
strange uses Of the long-distance tele-
phone. The day the line was opened
to Merrill, Wis, a Chicago man, hunt
ing in the northern woods, came into
town and learned of the innovation,
says the Tacoma Ledger. He went
into one of the "sound-proof" booths
and had himself put in communication
with his family. AS they had a tele-
phone in the house, the task was n
small one. He chatted with his wife,
told her fish story at which she might
smile without embarrassing him, since
he could not see the sign of incredul-
ity; talked with his boy and girl, and
then called for "Gyp."
"Gyp" was q setter, n great family
pet, which had been left behind be-
cause of an accident which rendered it
lame. "Gyp" was called to the tele-
phone, and he stood on chair, his
forefect on the back, and his mistress
held the translnitter to his ear.
Hello, Nyp!'" called the master
from Merrill. And the dog in Chicago
pricked up his ears and whined The
master whistlcd chcerily, and the set
ter barlted directly into the receiver.
He knew his masters voice, and the
whistle as we'll; and the master cheered
him by ready laughter at the prompt
and eager reply.
1t was worth the 2.4O it cost.

Value OF a Good Ear for Music Apart
from Music.
1t is probable that a good ear for
music has some value apart from music,
but it is not great. In the management
of rapidly moving machinery = mu-
steal ear. which quickly detects varia-
ton Of pitch, and, therefore, OF s-ccd-
for the pitch of the sound depends on
the spced'-is of considerable use. a
farmer with Il good ear can detect at
once If the thrashing-machine is i'm
properly fed" for it's speed increases
and the sound it emits is of higher
pitch when an insufficient amount of
corn is supplied, and in the same way
the electrician can tell if an electric
motor is running at it's due speed. With
musical ear the physician more read
lily interprets the sounds elected by
pcrcussing the chest, and the potter
more easily separates the sound from
the unsound. 1t is q moot point
whether the musical are naturally the
better readers and speakers, but there
is no doubt that they improve more
quickly when taught clocution, for
they can appreciate the pitch of their
own voices and SO correct their errors.
A good ear includes an acute appre-
citation of time or rhythm, and this is
of use to, for example, the stroke of
boat or n drill-sergeant.

WHY LATIN IS USED.
Good Reasons for . Doctors Writing .
Prescription in . Dead Language.


Prescription In . Dead Language.
"Why doesn't the doctor write his
prescription in English instead Of
Latin?" asked man of n druggist.
whose reply the New York Herald pub
! fishes:
In the first place, Latin is n more eX-
act and concise language than English,
and being Il dead language, does not
change, as all living languages do.
Then, again, since a very large part
of all drugs in use are botanical, they
| have in the pharmacop9ia the same
names that they have in botany-the
scientific names. Two-thirds of such
drugs haven't any English names, and
so couldn't be written in English.
But suppose doctors did write pre-
scription in English for an uncducated
patient. The patient reads it, thinks
nc remembers it, and so tries to get il
:illed from memory the second tina.
suppose, for instance, it called for
iodide of potassium, and he got it con-
fused with cyanide of potassium. He
could safely take ten grains of the first,
but one grain of the second would kill
him.
That's an extreme case, but it will
serve for an illustration. Don't you see
how the Latin is n protection and 4
safeguard to the patient? Prescrip-
lions in Latin he can't read, and con
Sequently does not try to remember.
Now for n final reason. Latin is a
language that is used by scientific men
the world over, and no other language
is. You can get n Latin prescription
filled in any country on the face Of the
earth where there is drug store.
We had prescription here tho Other
day which we had put up originally,
and which had since been stamped Ey
druggists in London, Paris, Berlin, Con-
stantinople, Cairo and Calcutta. What
good would an English prescription be
in ST. Petersburg?

FIRE DAMP EXPLOSION.
Several Miners Lose Their Lives at
Wilkesbarre, Pa.-Rescuers
Driven Back.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 29.-A terrific
explosion of gas occurred in the South
Wikesbarre shaft of the Lehigh &
Wilkesbarre Coal company this after
noon. 1t is reported that six were so
badly burned that they will die.
The mine was not in operation to-
day and only about fifteen men, mostly
repairers, were inside. So great was
the force of the explosion that it shook
the surface fer miles around. Smoke
in dense volumes is coming up the shaft,
which prevents rescuers from going
down. The officials are in hope that no
lives have been lost.
The mine is of the most gaseous in
the anthracite region. Five years ago
seven men persisted in an explosion there
and in 1894 a party of New York retail
coal men came near losing their lives.
They were just about to enter the mine
when an explosion occurred. The black
damp came up the shaft and the visitors
on the carriage were hoisted out just in
time.
A party of rescuers entered the mine
shortly before 3 o'clock. They were
headed by William r. Jones and john
Joseph, miners. Jones and Joseph were
overcome by the fire damp and killed.
A second rescue party pushed their way
into the rock tunnel. where they found
the bodies of JOSEPH Worth, a miner;
James H. Herring, a laborer; William
Lacey, contractor, and Thomas Owens,

WARNED BY RUSSIA.
The SuItan's Conduct Improved
Since De Nelidoff Had
Talk with Him.

Constantinople, Oct 29.-Since the re-
cent visit of the Russian ambassador,
NJ De Nelidoff, to the Sultan, and the
long and important audience which fol-
lowed, it is noticeable that there has
been another change for the better III the
attitude of Abdul Hamid and his adj
visers towards the Armenians in partic-
uIar and the reform policy in general.
1t is known that NJ. De Nelidoff used
very plain language to the Sultan and
ii is apparent that the latter was con-
WINGED that the Russian ambassador was
in earnest. This, supplemented by grave
reports received by the Sultan from the
Turkish embassies at London and Paris,
pointing out the distrust and irritation
caused by the attitude of Turkey, has
brought about eager professions upon the
part of the Turkish government of de-
sire to honestly push the work of reform
and as commencement have had Chris
tan deputy governors appointed in Ar
menia and it is probable that there will
be changes shortly in the composition of
the Turkish rainiStrv.
