telephone, introduced in San Francis
90. may be called a kitchen telephone
service. For fifty cents per month the
local company will supply an instru-
ment by which orders may be given TO
the butcher, grocer or other tradesmen,
but through which no return answer
can be received. \ further concession
Is to allow communication with one
other subscriber, but any other COM
munication must he at the rate of five
cents per call. The limit upon the
service makes II improbable that any
more than two calls a day will be made,
and these can be provided at the low
rate. 1t is inferred that the service is
introduced for the purpose of edu-
eating the householder as to the ad-
vantage and convenience of the tcle-
phone, with the expectation that the
trial will lead to a demand for the I'M
limited service at the higher rate

decorated in the poorest manner, saws
the Philadelphia Press. There Is no
reason why the ingenuity and art OK
pended on all the other details of the
table should not be extended to these
cards. Many a time one sees a little
scene or Hover In water-colors which
has all the appearance of being cribbed
from a Christmas card. Pen-and-ink
sketches dre seldom noticed and vet
there n has scope for originality.
Some little bit taken from a funny pa
per. or, IL clever enough. out Of ones
W head, has all the attraction of nov
city. Cupids. flowers, love letters and
slippers for women; pipes, horses and
dogs for the men. A clever idea is to
sketch In fanciful letters the words:
Who the then draw a deviD sits
here?' IL the hostess desires to touch
up the little yanities and Weaknesses
for her guests here is her opportunity.
Upon the authors card may be drawn
a figure writing in the book OF fame:
for the musician. a muse playing on
the Tyre; for the man who talks too
much, a parrot, s%hrieking: Words!
Words! Words!' and for the college
girl, Cupid, in cap and gown, etc. An
other source OF comfort to be derived
from the artistic cards would be the
final death Of that most awkward
pause when the women are removing
their gloves and the weather and the
opera have not yet become the sub
jects of disinterested conversation.
With these merry bits OF %pasteboard at
each plate an occasion for laughter
and jest would be given.

Early last spring Mrs. Louis Trout
vein, the wife OF a butcher, OF Will
liameburg, n. Y. received a castor
bean plant. which she put into a gar
den back Of her house. Her domestic
servant, Elsie Halter, % years old,
watched the plant grow. About three
weeks & the bean pods began to
ripen. Mrs. Troutwein warned Miss
Halter against picking any OF the
beans. The other morning the servant
was taken i'll, and she admitted that
for more than ten days she had picked
and eaten some of the beans, and that
on the day before she ate more than
a dozen.
Mrs, Trou,wein sent for a doctor,
but when he arrived the servant was
dead. Coroner Mason ordered DR.. J. +.
Valentine to perform an autopsy. The
result showed that the woman's death
was due 10 Inflammation, superinduced

A Weeping Tree.

The weeping tree of the Canary
islands is one of the wonders OF plant
life. 1t is OF the laurel family, and
rains down a copious shower of water
drops from its tufted foliage. This
water Is often collected at the foot of
the tree and forms a kind Of pond,
from which the inhabitants of the
neighborhood can supply themselves
with a beverage that Is absolutely
fresh and pure. The water comes out
~ the tree itself through innumerable
little pores situated at the margin of
the leaves. 1t issues from the plant as
vapor during the daytime when the
heat is sufficiently great to preserve Il
in that condition, but in the evening,
when the temperature has lowered very
much, a considerable quantity of il Is
cxuded in the form of liquid drops that
collect nearthe edgesof the leaves until
these members so bend down under
their increasing weight as TO pass, for
them. the limit of the angle of repose,
when the tears tumble off on the ground
below in a yeritable shower.-London

ccnse Gould He Had.
Franklin NJ. Edinger, a gr1cer at
1l4la street, southwest, was honded
straight for the realms Of matrimonial
bliss one day recently and making rec
ord time until he reached the city hall
and applied for a license, says the
Washington Post. There he took a sud
den header into an abyss of despair
and l~S-year-old Lena Jobst was she'd
ding tears that night. These young
people had talked the matter over and
arranged for a quiet little wedding. 10
which their friends were to be invited.
The prospective bridegroom's face wore
a radiant smile as he bounded into the
clerks office. 1t was all right-he was
% and Lena was IS; he was quite sure
she was Is and would be 10 In Deem
Der. He was a citizen of the United
States. he told the clerk, and then the
clerk said:
as Lena a citizen, too?'
That struck the applicant as rather a
good joke, and he laughed and said he
would tell Lena when he went home.
but the clerk finally convinced Frank
lin that he was thoroughly in earnest
that II was necessary to swear Lena
was a citizen. Well. the man who was
trying TO become a benedict said he did
not know. Lena had been brought TO
the United States by her parents when
she was . years old. Was her father
n%aturalized? Didn't know that, either;
the father was dead and they could not
ask him
"Well. that settles it," the clerk OBJ
thing for you. The law, enacted by the
last congress, says:
"'No license for any marriage shall
hereafter be issued to which any citi-
zen OF a foreign country shall be a
party until a minister or a consul rep
r~esenting such foreign country In the
United States shall certify that the
conditions to the validity of the mar
riage laws of such country shall have
been complied WITH"
And that Is why a certain wedding
announced to take place in South
Washington society has been declared
of. 1t would, no doubt, puzzle a for
eign minister or a consul to find on,
whether Lena Jobst complied fully
with all the marriage laws of Germany
and lived up to them strictly to the
time she vas 2 years old, so there is
really nothing left for this couple to
do but get married somewhere else. II
was some time before the clerk could
make Franklin believe that the law
could in any way prevent his marry
ing Lena, but when he thoroughly
grasped the situation he expressed an
opinion Of the whole law-makine
power in language almost strong
enough to change the marriage regu-
l~ations without the Intervention Of con-
gress.
