NsIghbOrhood Telephones In the Conn


Neighborhood telephones in farming dis
tricts are becoming more and more com
mon. An Illinois correspondent of the
Homestead thus describesIthe workings of
one in Mason county in that state. Our
telephone service was inaugurated March,
'97, by Ralph Bowser, a young man but
20 years old, an enthusiast in electrical
work, who connected his fathers house
and nearest post-ofice by line mile and
a quarter in length. The upper wire of a
barbed wire fence was used at first, and
worked so well that / remember hearing
distinctly watch tick over the line. From
this small beginning has grown a system of
seven separate lines 81 miles in length,
using 80 telephones, and more are wanted.
Our telephones cost So each, wire three
cents per pound. or $40 per mile. The
battery with each telephone is effective six
months without attention. The use of our
telephones is free to all. The practical
utility is evident, but the use as a means
of social entertainment is not so we'll UNDER
stood or appreciated as it deserves. We
frequently listen to piano solos and songs,
also to Sousa's last marches played by
graphophone before telephone three miles
away, and by simply turning a switch two
lines are united, and the graphophone can
be heard at "a telephones.

Life md Henlth.

Born with this inherent desire of COM
partnership with bis kind, it is natural and
normal that man should both seek and
have 1t. When man begins to shun soci-
ETY., and to show desire to shut himself
apart from others, then he is departing
from the natural order of things, and shows
that he is not in a healthy physical or NOR
al state. OF course the taste for society
varies greatly with many individuals.
Some are shy and awkward in the presence
of Others; but that does not prevent them
from wishing TO have friends and to be
with certain companions, which are as nee
essary to them as daily meat and drink.
The recluse Is an extremist, to put IL mild.
ly, whose mind has become warped by cir
cumstances. He is unjust to himself and
deprives himself of the means of his own
healthy living and thinking. One does not
set out deliberately to isolate himself from
society. For those who are not mentally
unbalanced the withdrawal from society is
a gradual process, which goes on until the
social hermit has been evolved. Watch
yourself for this state, and if you are tend
ing toward it, stop and consider before the
relapse is complete. "Why should one
bother ones self about that for which one
cares nOthing?' you will ask, with an air
of superiority. AS the fresh pure air is
necessary to the proper expansion of the
lungs, as good food is essential to the main
tenance of the bodily machinery, as exer-
else is demanded for the development and
perfection of the muscles, so is compan-
ionship and social intercourse imperative
to the members of the human race. 10
keep the physical, mental and moral bal
ance healthy and true. That there should
be a continual striving to make this socie-
ty of the best goes without saying.
Equally abnormal as type is the socie-
ty butterfly. Excess in any direction is TO
be greatly deplored. What gluttony is to
eating, what inordinate and insensate over
exercise means to the athlete, such is the
going and going necessarily, merely for the
sake of going, to the giddy society seeker.

The Hinsdale correspondent of the
Springfield Republican says in this morn
ing's issue: "Officers Kinds and Metcalf
made another raid upon the island brewery
recently and this time found beer. No ar
rests were made, A. the proprietors agreed
to come over into Macedonia and settle
up. 1t is claimed that the brewery has
been dishing out hard stuff lately, but so
shrewdly that it was almost impossible to
catch them"
A meeting of the Alliance Study class
was held at the Brooks House Monday
night, at which two brief papers written by
Miss Russell of Plymouth, Mass, were
read by Mrs. S. E. Lawton. The subjects
were "New England Two Hundred Years
Ago" and Poetry of the Early Colonial
Period" The papers were well written,
and gave the members of the class an en-
joyable evening. A brief discussion fol-
lowed the reading of the papers.
The officers of the Golden Cross COM
mandery were installed at public meet
ing in Grange hall last evening, at which
many invited friends of members were

woman shoplifter was caught stealing
an umbrella the other day in Philadel-
pha drygOods store. But it was decided
not TO prosecute her if she would pay for
the umbrella, valued at $3.50. which she
did. The next day she returned and re-
quested TO see the manager. When that
surprised person could recover himself suf-
fclently to ask her business the woman
calmly told him that she had been pricing
umbrellas in other stores and found she
could purchase one like her own for 81,

fund her so cents. AS a tribute to her
monumental nerve the so cents was hand
