Can Send Twelve Messages.
Editor Constitutional telegraph opera
tor told me that two messages could be
sent at the same time over the same
wire. Is this true? 1GNORAMOS.
Dalton, Ga.
Yes. his statement was true, and ut
present experiments are being conducted
on the Paris Bordeaux line with some very
interesting machines. which the inventor.
NJ. Mercadcr, has been working on for
many years. With these instruments,
called duOdCcaplcX, twelve Morse trans
mitters can work simultaneously on
single wire, each sending a signal to the
proper receiver at the end of the line
This result IS brought about by the use OF
alternating or, at any rate, interrupted
currents. Each transmtter receives It's
current through a tuning fork having
special note, it's vibrations being electrical
ly maintained. These vibrations furnish
a current of the proper period to cause
resonance at each application in the pro-
per receiving circuit, which has its self
induction and capacity adjusted for this
result This receiver IS a telephone "a
monoie ieOpbone, as It IS called by Mr..
Mcrcadier, so constructed and ar
ranged that the acoustic resonance quail
ties also help to damp ont from the sig
nails received everything not intended for
1t. These signals are read in the ordinary
way by ear, aided by rubber tubes like
those used on Photographs. The sitting

signals not intended for It except a slight
murmuring. very indefinite and not at all

HOUSE PALMS.

Do not give your house palms too
much water wait until the surface
soil is dried before watering the
plants.
Be careful about letting them set
in two strong sunlight at midday,
although the morning sun is bene-
fetal. Gas in room is injurious
to palms. Be sure your gas-pipes
do not emit the slightest odor Of
gas, as the least leak will tarnish the
leaves of your plants. Coal gas is
quite as injurious.
Cigar ashes, t,aspooniul a week,
will be found TO be of great benefit.
Do not let any water stand in the
SANGER under the pot, otherwise
there is danger Of the roots ;otting.

LILY OF THE VALLEY.

When the Lily of the Valley
seems to have weak roots, as may be
supposed in case the plant ceases to
thrive, it is best to thin out the bed.
If that does not do any good, it

roots.
You must give them a rich but
light soil, end pretty well shaded.

with Narcissus.

times prevents free blooming.
An inch depth is deep enough TO

"Jesus went about all the cities
and villages, teaching in their syn.
agogues, and preaching the good
tidings OF the Kingdom, and heal.
ing every sickness and every dis
ease among the people,"
Then He sent out His twelve
Apostles to do the same work. They
we're to go two by two to heal the
sick, and to give the message Of the
coming Kingdom, when "the inhabi-
tant shall not say | am SICK" They
we're to go TO the lost sheep of the
house of Israel" as the jew was
then, and is still first, although
afterwards set aside for time.
They we're to say "The Kingdom Of
Heaven is at hand" the message of
every christian preacher today.

food, no clothing, no money; but
abide which whosoever is worthy.

reminding them of their free gift
from Him, "The gilt of God is eter-

Our lesson is in the closing words
of the Lord, which we can refer to
every christian messenger today,
"Whosoever shall not receive you,
nor hear your words, it shall be
more tolerable for the land Of So

After this Jesus sent other seven

when they returned, rejoiced at His
great power in subduing demons.
He said, "Rather rejoice, because

While the moon smiled up in splendor
From out Of the fountain flowing.

Has not long ere this been broken.

Pve buried down too deep to grow.

THE DANGER OF BEAUTY.

content
That both my eyes are twisted and my
nose is slightly bent;
Pm glad my mouth is out of line and that
my teeth are few,
And if 1 had a 60 wealth of hair,n Idon't
know what I'd do.
A Tiny foot" or silly hand" would fill me
with dismay,
And if had a slender waist I'd sicken in
day;
For I've noticed from the first, as strange
as it may seem,
The girl who gets the worst of it is Glove
ly as a dream"
The papers never tell about woman be-
ing shot,
Or mangled by trolley car, or married
to sot,
o. forced, at point of pistol, her last fifty
cents to lose,
But that her eyes are "limpid" and her
boots are number twos.
So l can live in sweet content, without
the slightest fear
That trouble or calamity will ever hover
near
And when my misfit face, it's some
relief to know
That III outlive the beauties by hundred
years or so!

Improved Order of Red Men.
By W. @.
Hritsen for the Independent.

Tie remarkable growth and pros
perity of the Improved Order of
Red Men during the last decade has
earned for itself a prominent posi-
tion among the social and benevo-
lent paternities of our country. Its
merit as experienced by its members
and observed by outsiders is due,
net only to its benetactions by way
of relief, but also its character as q
social and rcformatory institution.
1t is known and appreciated for its
exemplifcation and practice OF the
noble principles of friendship and
fraternal love, inspired by its teach.
ings, thereby fostering and promot-
ing the idea of the brotherhood OF
man. Its teachings bring to the sur
face the generous impulses which
tend to keep alive and active the
pleasant and harmonious relations
among men to enoble their charac-
tiers and awaken in the mind high
and unselfsh aspirations. Being of
American origin, it especially APP
peals TO the particular sentiments OF
the American citizen. 1t is founded
upon American tradition, customs
and ceremonies.
It's motto is, Freedom, Friend
ship and Charity, and these terms
are of peculiar significance in their
application 10 this order. Freedom

Red men of the forest9 To him the
forests,.the plains, the hills and the
valleys of this land were as free as
the air to the eagle; and the word
also is in honor and memory Of the
early great struggle to deliver the
colonies from foreign rule and tyr
amy. Friendship symbolizes the
answering Loyalty with which the
Indian maintainedEa noble, uuselfish
affection for him to whom his word
was once plighted, and which makes
sweet and lasting the relation in
which the members of the order are
united. Charity, the noblest IN
this word trinity, is that principle
by which the spirit of brotherly love
and that of brotherly helpfulness go
hand in hand.

There was old Colonel Clay, who
kept the hotel, and had six daugh-

medicine, and two daughters who
were practicing the same profession,
and there was Mr.. Fish, who kept
the general store, and had to be
shaken awake by his daughter, Miss
Mamie Fish, whenever change was
wanted.
There were several octogenarian
citizens who sat under their apple
trees at their gates in the cool of the
evening, end there were the minis
ter, his culver full of blessings, and
his wife, in the parsonage.
There were number of middle
aged farmers, too, valuable as vot-
ers, no doubt, but of no importance
to me.
