Charles H. Summers Gave it Many New Uscs-One Of
the Pioneer Experimenters with
the Telephone.

and that it was these suggestions
which enables the system to be operat-
ed. Hence it is true that largely to
Mr.. Summers is owing that which has
since become a standard part of land
and ocean telegraphy.
Mr.. Summers caused to be erected
the first incandescent electric lighting
plant in the west. He was equally
early in the field of telephony. The
first Bell telephones were brought to
Chicago by Gardner Hubbard, Graham
Bells father-in-law. There were two
sets of instruments and they were
taken to Mr.. Summers office to be test
ed. A line from his home at Highwood
(now Fort Sheridan) to his office in
town was made use CT, and the first
telephoning over actual lines was done
from Mr.. Summers home.
There are many anecdotes related of
these early experiments and the amaze
ment with which people regarded the
magic talking boxes" which were a
conspicuous figure of Mr.. Summers
Offices in the old Union building at the
corner of Washington and La Sale
streets, Chicago. General Phil H. Sher-
idan, then commander in this depart
ment of the army, had Offices adjoining
Mr.. Summers, and the loud talking,
singing and yelling once made him ask
if riot was in progress. When he
found that it was not riot, but noise
created over cumbersone-looking
wooden box about the size of small
travelling trunk, he was inclined to
question the sanity of those about it.
But he was usually chary of ques-
tioning any odd thing Mr.. Summers
might do. for he-had had proof before
of the electricians ability at scientific
joking. Afterward General Sheridan
used often to say he did not believe
that box could talk, until one time he
got Mr.. Summers to sing through it
"Old Rosin the Beau" which was one
of his occasional musical achievements.
His Offices became the center of gen.
eral curiosity. Newspaper men and

There is certain qualification in
knowing that, small as is Samoa's for
eign trade, Europe exceeds us in i'm
ports from that quarter, while we
exceed combined Europe in exports.
This is shown in the annual report of
Consul-General Osborn, who adds the
pleasing fact that, while nearly half
the Samoan imports come from Aus
tralia, large percentage of these are
OF American origin-goods east of
California being shipped to Atlantic
seaports, thence to Sydney, and from
Sydney to Apia.

Fashion Notes.

Round rosettes of black velvet baby
ribbon are used as trimming on lace
evening gowns.
White cloth, fine and silky in finish,
is one of the fashionable materials for
the bridesmaids gown.
Very pretty filigree bracelets are
shown, and evidently are again in
favor. Some are set with gems.
Cherry-red taffeta is the latest thing
for petticoats, and if you would be
quite up to date have corsets to match.
Many handsome imported gowns
are in cashmere of delicate shades. A
coarse lace applique is seen on hand
some afternoon and evening gowns.
Hoods for evening wear are in
vogue. They are built of lowered
silk and lined with satin, turning back
from the face after the manner of an
old-fashioned sunbonnet.
Pompadour combs are now studded
with gems, some being of great value.
The jeweled side combs are still
fashionable, the newest styles being
made entirely OF gold or silver and
set with small diamonds and other
precious stones.
A black velvet stock, at which the
women exclaim, "Isn't that sweet?"
has little double ruflie of white rib
bon at the upper edge and design in
the same ruflled white ribbons of a
double bowed Empire knot, and curv-
ing ends joining.
Something novel in bridesmaids s
costume is white taffeta silk coat
with round tails and elbow sleeves,
worn with white net skirt trimmed
with chiffon ruches. The edges of
the coat are finished with rows of
stitching, and the revers are covered
with handsome lace.

Velvet Coats In STYLE,

A London costumer suggests this
black velvet jacket, lined with Ameri-
can beauty satin and trimmed with
ieweled buttons and two fiat chin
chilla reveres. The collar, faced with
chinchilla, may be left open to show
the wide bow of the violet stock be-
meath. That the coat is cut with
spoon-shaped tails and small sleeves
it is hardly necessary to state. x~
Another beautiful cutaway in plum
colored velvet has the slight fulness of
the double breasted front, strapped in
by band of black satin ornamented
with genuine gold buckles set with
precious stones. The fancy-shaped
reveres are of white satin, covered
with lisse and edged with a piping of
chinchilla. A chinchilla piping also
borders the rolling velvet collar, which
fastens with two little furred heads.
The sleeves are half tight and half
puffed. A coat of this kind is made
snug and durable and practicable dur
ing cold weather by an interlining of
chamois skin concealed by the mauve
taffeta lining.
Young married women who revel in
their newly acquired dignity as ma
irons lavishly admire the longer coats.
They are at the same time demure and
coquettish, and are not lacking in chic,
with their flat circular. ruf1ies quantity
applied, stitched bands and gorgeous
Innings. One is in green broadcloth,
lined with heliotrope cord silk and
trimmed at the long cutaway fronts
with circular founce, cut wide at
the back and tapering into points up
the front. What appears to be
dress skirt in the same cloth shows
beneath the open fronts. In reality it
is part of the coat, to which the cir
cular ruffie is applied in cutaway
form.
The other long coat is blending of
princess and redingote in Havana
brown cloth, dashed with oblong
lighter spots. The skirt and fiat
collar piece are outlined with scallops.
The coat is double breasted and fast
ened toward one side under a loose,
narrow front piece. The side and
back are tight-ftting. A tailor
stitched band trims the collar and
front and heads the shaped ruffle.
Little reveres of zibeline open over o
tucked shield of rose velvet. The roll

Next to Portugal. Japan sends the
greatest supply of toothpicks to the
United States. These are made by
hand from fine reeds. They, too, are
sold in close competition with the
American product, owing to the
cheaper labor in Japan. The cases in
which the Japanese picks are inclosed
are fine specimens of skill with the
jackknife. They are of wood, cut into
strips as thin and delicate as. tissue
paper, but very strong. The cases
are ornamented with hand painted
Japanese scenes and are of q size con-
venient to be carried in the vest
pocket. The competition between the
japanese and Portuguese makers on
the one side and American manufac
.turers on the other has become very
keen. An importer of toothpicks said
recently that the Japanese tpicks car
be made and sold in the American
market, cases and all, for less than

Beaut.fYinp the Neck.

To beautify the neck the following
directions, if carefully and persistent,
ly carried out, will bring satisfactory
results: Battle the neck and shoul-
ders every night in warm water, then
rub them with olive oil. Use the
palm of the hand, making the strokes
from the neck downward, and then in
circular direction. Keep this up
about five minutes. Lay the chin
against the throat and turn the head
slowly to the right and around again
slowly to the left. Repeat this latter
movement five times, then rub the
thinnest part of the neck or chest
briskly with the palm of the hand,
using the downward stroke. When
you have done this for few minutes,
stand with you shoulderblades and
head firmly, placed against the wall,
the tips of your fingers resting on your
shoulder, and then take long breath.
Gradually relax. This concludes the
exercise. Retire Immediately, and
generally ones sleep will be good and
sound the whole night long.

Poor Field for Inventors.

The patent laws of Japan afford lit
tie protection to foreign manufacturers
or inventors. A native may patent any
trade mark of foreigner if the pat
ent be taken out before the real owner
has moved in the matter. Then the
only course open to the owner is to buy
from the native the right to use his
own trade mark in Japan.

UNSELFISH LOVE.

It takes great love to stir a human heart
To live beyond the others and apart.
A lore that is not shallow, is not small,
Is not for one, or two, but for them all.
Love that can wound love, for its higher
need;
Love that can leave love, though the heart
may bleed
Love that can lose love, family and friend;
Yet steadfastly live, loving, to the end.
A love that asks no answer, that can live
Moved by one burning, deathless force-to
give.
Love, strength and courage-couraGe,
strength and love;
The heroes Of all time are built thereof.

younger days he was good horsenan
and an excellent pistol shot. and
though he possessed mild character
and gentle disposition, he was abso-
lutely without fear. When very young
ne studied telegraphy and began the
practice of 1t at time when telegraph
lnes were strung along turnpikes and
highways and not along railways. In
deed, there were but few railroads In
the west at the time he commenced
with telegraphy. His first engagement
was with the old Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and Louisville line, and he remained
with this line, receiving from time to
time many promotions, till it was final
ly consolidated with the Western Union
Telegraph company. Then he visited
different points in the northern coun-
try, working at short engagements in
many different places. In 1859, while
working at Indianapolis, he accepted a
good position on Indiana railroad lines
with headquarters at Indianapolis. In
that position he continued till 1867.
when he was made superintendent of
the Indianapolis, Cincinnati and La
fayette railroad lines, with his own
headquarters at Cincinnati.
In 1864, when the civil war was in
progress, he had frequent occasion to
go to the union front and set up or re-
pair or take down telegraph plants.
On one of these occasions he ventured
too near to the confederate lines and
was taken as prisoner of war, but not
being belligerent in the true sense he
was soon let go.
