Quite lot of materials have been
used for telegraph poles, but the idea
of stone for the purpose will be new
to most people. 1t is nevertheless a
fact that the messages between Milan
and Switzerland by way of the Simplon
Pass pass over telegraph line with
stone poles. This line runs along the
military road which skirts the west
side of Lake Maggiore. The poles
are of gray granite, and average about
ten inches square and twenty-five feet
high.
The English traveller who came
across this engineering curiosity was
told by a telegraph officer that these
poles were in use for a distance of
thirty or forty miles, and that their
cost in position was about ten shillings
each. The quarries from which the
poles were cut are situated above the
town of Stresa. Here and there along
the line, however, is seen wooden
pole, and the wooden pole is usually
new, while the stone poles are invari-
ably old. On seeking for an explana-
ton of this suggestive fact.the traveller
was informed that the renewals are
now made in wood, the principal
cause of dissatisfaction with the stone
poles being that they did not stand
we'll against any transverse strain
due to the pull exerted when tighten
ing the wires. London Answers.

How the Venetians Talk Fish.

The streets of Burano are bordered
with massively built arcades, under
the shade of which women knit and
spin, and men wrangle in a dialect
from which all consonants have been
dropped The same endless argument
concerning fish is forever in progress
at Chioggia. l never could learn pre-
cisely the nature of this argument,
but l am inclined to think that it has
its origin in the congenital inability
of a fisherman to tell the truth as to
the fish caught, or lost, by him. |
have never yet seen Chioggian who
was not just on the point Of shaking
the dust of the town from his bare
feet and going on board his fishing
boat as the only refuge from the un.
speakable mendacity and general vii
lainy of his incredulous fellow towns
men; or who had not just landed from
u fishing excursion and was in the act
of haunting the rest of the world with
its inability to rival him as piscato-
rial liar
The people of Venice affect to be-
lieye that the men of Chioggia are
even more dangerous and quarrelsome
than those of Burano; but / have al
ways found both Chioggians and Bur-
anese peaceful and inoffensive folk,
and the dislike which the Venetians
have for them is doubtless due to their
superior powers of argument in regard

Electric Railways in Egypt.

The electric street car lines are
much patronized by the natives and
are now probably the most popular
means of lOcomotion in the city of
Cairo. ~ believe, though. thes e
lines have only been running for the
last two years. The first outlay has
already been covered, and they are
now run at great profit. So popular
are these cars on public holidays that
they are absolutely mobbed by people
who cling to every available bolt,
standing on one another, swarming
like bees. These cars can vie with
the famous Brooklyn trans for being
veritable Juggernauts in the sacrifice
Of human life. The first week the
accidents in the streets of Cairo totaled
up to eighty killed. Since then the
average has been six or seven weekly.
The loss OF life is not very remarkable
considering that the majority of Carr
enes are either deaf, or blind in one
eye, and the tramcars seem to have
the road to themselves, for they only
stop at their appointed stations. -

Tho Unwritten Law of "Cache. ="


A curious account from an Eastern
point Of view, is given by Mr.. Crosse,
who has just returned from tour of
exploration in the Canadian Northwest,
concerning the law of "cache." A
man going along wishes to leave, say
his coat, behind, for reasons of per-
sonal comfort He hangs it on tree,
and it will be there for him if he does
not return for week. Similarly the
ownership Of suspended gun or rifle
is respected. Mr.. Crosse says man
would be safe in hanging his gold
watch and chain on a tree with the
assurance that it would be there when
he returned to claim it. A cache of
provisions is subject to slight modi-
fcation in respect to the rule of IN
volatility. A hungry Indian discov-
ering such will make fire in front of
it, to make it apparent that there is
no secrecy intended in connection with
his visit. He will then take from the
cache sufficient food for his immedi-
ate needs and pass on, without touch
ing anything more. Montreal Star.

A bride always starts in by giving
her husband half the clothes-closet,
but within three weeks all his clothes
will be hanging on four nails.
When woman says that she can t
do this or that because her husband
will not let her, how nice and old
fashioned it sounds! -
After man gets married ), he can
create positive sensation any time
by appearing in a new suit of clothes.
When man is ashamed of the fact
that lie is about to get married he will
make poor husband.
Never remind people who have been
married longer than six weeks that
they married their ideals.
Unfortunately few married women
become SO philosophical that they can
laugh until after they have grown so
old that they shake.
Some complaint is made OF the men
because they don't take their wives
bouquets as they did in their counting
days. Still every woman knows that
if her husband brought home costly
bouquet she would tell him that it
would have been great deal more
sensible to have bought a new teapot
or to have put the money in the bank.

ExplOits Of Marines,

The marines came out strong in our
recent war, not only at Guantanamo.
but in divers other individual in
stances. One exploit that is to be
credited to that branch of the service
was done by Lieutenant T. P. Kane
while serving on the Harvard. On
May IL, when that ship ran into st.
Pierre, Martinique, for coal, Captain
Cotton heard rumor that the Span
ish feet was outside. Martinique,
being French port, had strong
Spanish sympathies, and the veritica-
ton of rumors about Spanish move
ments was difficult and hazardous.
Lieutenant Kane, however, volun-
teered to get word of Cervera's ships
and put off in an open boat in an I'M
comfortable gale to take look about
outside the harbor. He got back in
the small hours of the morning, bring
ing the first authentic news of the
whereabouts of the Spanish feet that
reached Washington.
Another good piece of work that he
did was to go ashore, climb the hills
of Martinique, and observe the fash
light signals by dint of which the ma
tives sent war news to the nearby
Spanish islands. BY this exploit he
got important information, and also
was able to make report, OH the
basis Of which Captain Cotton was able
to have the fash-light proceedings
stopped as contrary to neutrality.
Lieutenant Kane is a son of Captain
It. F. Kane, U.S.N., retired, who
served with distinction in the civil
war. He is great-grandson of Com
modore Henley, who served on Lake
Erie and at Tripoli under Perry

A FlavOrless and Unsatisfying Article BY

FlavOrless and Unsatisfying Article by
the Present Process of Milling.
"One Of the most serious among the
many of our food grievances is the loss
to us of true corn-meal," writes Ella
Morris Kretschmar in the Woman's
Home Companion, discussing the de-
terioration of "Our Boosted Maize. I"
"A shadow has been substituted for q
substance, literally, in point of food
value. Here are the facts: The old
fashioned meal was made of whole
white Aint.corn, ground by the burr
process (crushed between stones), Civ
ing soft, fragrant, highly nourishing
product which was capable of so many
culinary variations that the poor who
made it their staple might be said to
have Jared sumptuously,' and the rich
to reckon it among gastronomic de-
lights. Some years ago 'granulated
meal appeared, the whole grain being
cut by the roller process. This meal,
while not as soft as the burr meal, was
equally sweet, nourishing and we'll
favored; in short, very acceptable.
When made of corn thoroughly dried
requiring about two years) it had,
keeping qualities not possessed by
meal made of fresh corn by either pro-
cess-which, by the way, will keep
perfectly for months in cold weather,
but not more than two or threeweeks
in summer. So to-day we have gran
ulsted meal made from corn dried in
kilns in "a few hours, by heat so in
tense rs to kill all the characteristic
qualities Of flavor and texture. But
these losses are small compared to
greater ones. If you will examine q
grain of corn You will note on one of
it's fiat sides corn-shaped depression
running to the point where it is at
tached to the ear. Under the skin
covering that depression is the germ
the vital part of the grain, the muscle
builder, brain. feeder, the part that a
rat has the intelligence to eat, leaving
the rest. Now, this soft germ sub
stance will not granulate, is quickest
to become musty, hence, for trade
considerations it now is entirely
scooped out. leaving the devitalized
grain, the part rejected by the rat, to
be calcined in the kiln and ground for
our use. Could more cruel robbery
be perpetrated?" II
