Curbiug Talk Over Telephones.

People who have a grudge against teEephone companies in general will be rleased to know that the women of New South Wales refused to be ground town by any souIless corporation. They determined to get the worth of the telephone rent, no matter how much time it took so they eonversed over the wires by the hour until the central office people were driven to distraction. Things got to such a point that the postmaster general in Sydney was appealed to, and he issued an order forbidding loauacious women from monopolizing telephone for more than ten minutes at time.

Electricity Cures.

According to Dr. Friedlander or Niesbaden, electricity is an antidote against stings of insects. His plan in such cases is to apply a constant cur rent and to place a negative cathode on the spot stung by the insect. Gal vanization produces a rather strong sensation of burning, but at the same time the pain from the sting dtsap- pears, and if the electricity is applied very soon after the wound has been inflicted there is little or no swelling. The current, however, does excellent teryice even if it be not applied untI after some time has elapsed, for it re- noyes the pain and also quickly re 1uees the swelling. The supposition is that the poison which the insect has injected through the skin, is neutral ized and rendered innoeuous by the current. Dr. Friedlander has repeat edly made experiments of this kind on persons who have been stung by bees and wasps, and has invariably found them successful He naturally believes that similar result would be obtained in the eases of persons stung oy other insects.

h the California theater, San Fran cisco. the other night. Otto Kawakami and Mme Yacco and their company of rising Japanese actors and aee tresses appeared for the first time in America, in no less than four different pieces At first sight and sound the native Japanese drama is rather diff fiedIt problem. It's tragedy does not make Q serious dent in the American auditor, and its comedy does not strike him as the most joyous thing in the world. The Japanese actor. one finds, expresses pathos though his nose; he roies. in blind staggers, and =humor# in aerobatic dip-faps He snufies when he is saddest.= And as there was a great deal of sadness in the first two pieces presented last night, there was deal of snufiing. Our Japanese toWnfolk filled the gallery and seemed 10 find delight in these nasal special ties, but the people downstairs didn't appear to know just how to take them. The plays are ehildishly primitive.and with the aid of the arguments print ed in the programme. quite intelligibla. The first one. "The Duel, displays beautiful scenery and costumes and a diyerting sword fight. The second, aKosunold," is full of fights, during which the actors employ themselves in many realistic tumbles from a pile of stage rocks some fifteen feet in height. Hypnotism also seems to have a place in this piece, as one no tiees that many Japs fall down van qajshed at the mere glance of the hot eyed hero. The most interesting in plot is The Temjye of Doioji." which is built around the Japanese legend of the bell in which the lovers hide and are cremated by the jealous woman.s wrath In this Mme Yaceo, who im- Dersonates the yengeful rival executes a dance that is full of unique steps and poses. The performance closes vii. what is arehly entitled Dewey Dag Celebration on the Pine Fringed Shores Of Miho Here the Geisha dances are Introduced with pleasing result. An other diversion that comes earlier in the programme is a song, accompanied by the characteristic Japanese instra- ment, the shamisen The song itself Is long-Yoiced faIsetto and painful ta the ears, but the accompaniment is in tefesting from a technical standpoint at least. Cut to practical proportions, this Japanese show ought to have curious interest for all Dlav-g0prs. But in it's present shape the Jap auditors seem to have most of the fun. Is a picture, it is well worth taking in. the scenery is striking and the costumes are splendid. It is quite like an anI- mated Japanese screen.

A Youthful Master of Finance.

One of the cadets of a northwestern military academy. but who lives in Chicago, has convinced his father that he is destined to a brilliant business career It is all owing 10 8 letter that the young man wrote short time ago. 1t appears that the father had prom ised the boy he should have any sort of a watch he wanted at the close of the present school term. Nothing more was heard about the watcb Intil the father received letter that ran about like this. Dear Father.-I have been looking at watches lately and have decided that the kind I want will cost you about $350 As a watch of this value is hardly of the sort for q boy of Is to carry. and as I will not need watch ti11 after leave school, Eish 10 make this suggestion. Prob ably you arc hard up and do not wish to spend s350 for a watch at this time Four years from now, when leave school, watches will be cheaper. and it is likely that you can then buy the same watch for Sf50 Now the interest on $50 for four years Simple inter est-I am willing to let you have the benefit of the eompounO at 6 per cent will be $S4 If you will send me the $S4 now YOU need not buy the watch tiH after leave school. In this way you will have the use of the $266 for four wears. and at the end of that time the watch will only cost you $50: $50 plus $S4 is $284. or $116 less than what the watch will cost you now So, you see. by this plan you will make clear profit on this transaction of SIG. Your loving son. EDDY"

Some Queer Things Done by Pets and
 the Reason.
 Did you ever see your dog walking around and around in ctrcle2 or course you have, but l don't expect you know why they do it. Years and years ago, more years than you can count perhaps, the dogs were all wild, like their cousins, the wolves, and had to beat out a hole in the grass or the snow before they could lie down. And the dogs have done the same way ever since. They had to keep their noses clean. too, so they could smell the rab- bits and other animals they ate. q long ways off, so they never let their noses touch the ground, going to sleep with their noses resting on their paws. And they have done that ever since. The cat is always washing herself and is known to be the cIeanest of all the animals. We'll away back long ago the cats had to keep clean or the little ani- mals she waited patiently for would smell her a long ways off and Kitty would have had to go hungry. And cats e the same today.
