contract for their building and had It

the order for the equipment. Through

TELEPHONES ABROAD.
Great Britain Is About to Add the
Instruments to It's Post and
Telegraph Service.

1t would seem that there is not an,
other country in the world which is so
considerate of capital and the privil-
eyes that capital has come TO acquire
as the United States. Almost from the
moment of the introduction of the tel
ephone it became in Europe more or
less of a public service, or state as
against private monopoly; but it con-
tinues to be not merely private mo-
nopoly in the most progressive state of
the American union, but private mo-
nopoly, unregulated by the public au-
thority And we are now actually lis
tening to the superannuated suggestion
of resorting 10 competition for the re-
straint of what is essentially a monop-
olistic enterprise, and admitting COM
peting telephone companies into the va
rious cities and towns, to the further
multiplication of poles and wires and
the general unsightliness and inconven-
fence of the public ways.
The British government, on the
other hand, is about to take long step
forward in establishing a state tele-
phone service IN connection with the
postal and postal telegraph services. A
natural system of telephone lines was
instituted by that government in 1895,
but on somewhat restricted scale.
This is now to be comprehensively ex-
tended. So recent London dispatches
state, details Of a government scheme
for the expenditure of $4,000, 900 in de-
veloping telephone communication in
the United Kingdom have been pre-
sented to the house of commons, and
the plan was approved by that body 1t
is further stated that this step is well
coined as a death-blow to the private
telephone company, wnch was left in
the field by the governments restricted
establishment of 1S95-which is hardly
to be wondered at, since uncertainty as
to what the government would do pre-
vented the private monopoly from dde-
quately developing its system. Great
Britain will now, accordingly, take its
place with France, Germany, Belgium,
Austria, Switzerland, Norway and
Sweden among the states which in large
part or entirely own and operate the
telephone service within their borders.

peared imbedded in the flesh. He con-
suited DIR. j. NJ. Leslie, and that gem
tleman decided to remove the metal.
So Ray was placed under the influence
of anaesthetics and the operation be-
gan. DR.. Leslie secured n firm hold
on the piece of metal with a pair of
forceps, but was unable to move it.
A more powerful pair of forceps was
secured and the metal finally moved.
But there seemed to be some sort of
projection behind the eyeball, and
whenever DIR. Leslie pulled the metal
out the eyeball was pressed out from
behind. Finally he turned the metal
around, but in so doing'touched Roy's
olfactory nerve and a. violent fit of
sneezing followed
When the paroSysm stopped the piece

Guilty, and, to the surgeons astonish-
ment, was found to be the breech lock
of Rays old shotgun. 1t was little
over two inches in length, about half an
inch thick, and a screw an inch long
projected from one end. 1t was this
that had got behind the eyeball. The
lock had been blown into the skull just
below the brain, and fraction of an
inch higher would have meant certain
and instant death. a very peculiar
thing was that Rays eyesight was not
impaired.
He rallied nicely from the effects of
the operation, and will soon be quite
well again, He was the most aston
ished man in the room when shown

iers, although they may be more won
derful creatures than we in America
have any idea Of No; the way apes
are made useful is this:
In that far-off, dried-up, little orr.
entail country, quite near China. you
know, there are large quantities OF
counterfeit coin in circulation; and the
counterfeiters of Siam must be most
proficient, for we hear that it is the
hardest thing in the world to detect the
bad from the good money. The mer-
chants are often deceived and frequent
ly swindled. The smartest men they
could employ were deceived, too; for
the bad money was such wonderful
imitation that the closest scrutiny often
failed to find the difference between
good and n bad piece.
In this dilemma some Siamese mer-
chants called to their help some one
who was always thought not so smart
as mana monkey. And these large
apes of Siam proved such a success at
their new avocation that the custom of
employing them for the purpose OF de-
tecting bad money has become univer-
sal. The ape cashier of Siam holds his
situation without a rival!
ES has a peculiar method of testing
coin. Every piece is handed to him and
he picks up each bit of money, one at
n time, and meditatively puts it into his
mouth, tasting it with grave delibera-
ton. p the coin is good he declares
the fact plainly. He takes it from his
mouth and carefully places it in its
proper receptacle beside him. lie has
pronounced judgment and everyone is
satisfied that the judgment is correct.
But, if the coin is bad, the cashier
makes known his verdict in an equally
| unmistakable manner He throws it
violently from his mouth to the floor,
shaking his head with as much disgust
as the merchant himself might feel at
being imposed upon. With loud chat
tering and angry gestures he makes
known his displeasure at being pre-
sented with bad piece of money. The
merchant himself could not express it
better.
Now, how does monkey know what
man cannot tell? All. that is his se-
cret. He never reveals it. Perhaps he
is afraid if he should make known all
the mysteries of his profession bis oc-
cupation might be gone, and people
would once more prefer men for cash
iers in place of the extraordinary apes
employed by the merchants of SIAM

Vicomte de Boyer thus states the
amounts of American money paid out
for French titles and the real value of
the considerations the American pur-
chasers respectively received:
Gould estate, for Castellane title, $751;
100000. Bogus.
Collins estate, for De Giers title, ST.
100000. Bogus.
Singer estate, for Decazes title, $2,-

Livingstone estate, for De Villars
title. Bogus.
Coudert estate, for De Choiseul title,
$3.50 900. Genuine.
No estimate is set upon the French
man who was thrown in with the title,
bogus or genuine, but that perhaps
would involve great deal of very deli
cate and complex figuring.
Thus you see that all over this coun-
try there are foolish mothers, foolish

MONKEYS AS CASHIERS.
In Siam, nm Ancient Asintic King
dom, siminns Are, Employed TO
Test All Coins.

We do not often hear OF monkeys be-
ing useful. We hear them called "odd,"
or "comical," or amusing" or mis-
chievous," as well as great many
other things; but we do not hear the
monkey often alluded to as that use-
full animal, the monkey"
Now, the Siamese people don't think
that way. They don't reflect how ANUS
ing a monkey is. They find out what a
monkey can do, and make him useful
by making him do it. There are
plenty of monkeys in Siam. They are
of all sizes, large and small; and the
large apes of Siam, we have heard, are
used by the Siamese merchants as
cashiers in their counting-rooms.
Think of making apes useful in such
way as that! To keep them for cash
iers in counting-room!
We are not told that these apes are
expert in making change, or that they
are able to keep the merchants ledger
for him. Siamese merchants probably
do not have complicated account books;
yet there must be some limit to a mon
keys powers of mind-even in Siam.
l do not think the Siamese merchants
expect quite all that of their ape cash
