The majority Of The people are not
aware of IT," said a telephone man re-
Gently. 'but the fact il when we say a
l5-pair cable for a telephone line We do
not mean that there are only Is pairs
Of wires in it," He then went on to
say that what il really meant is that
the cable is built for taking care Of 10
circuits. The cable has more than 10
pairs Of wires. The extra wires are
used in making the connections should
one of the wires prove to be worthless.
That saves the linemen from connecting
ana continuing the connections with
outside wires. There is usually one
pair Of spare wires in the cable.

CROMWELL AS AN IDOL.

1T was not until 1915 says Mr.
Morley in the Century, that Crom-
well had begun to stand out clear in
the popular Imagination, alike of
friends and foes. as a leader Of men.
He was now the idol of his troops. He
prayed and preached among them; he
played uncouth practical jokes with
them; he was not above a SNOWFALL
match against them; he was brisk.
energetic, skillful soldier, and he was
an invincible commander. Iu Parlia-
ment he made himself felt as having
the art of hitting the right debating
nail upon the head. The Saints had
an instinct that he was their man,
and that they could trust him to stand
by them when the day Of trial came. A
good commander of horse, say the ex-
perts, is as rare as a good commander
in-chief, he needs so rare a union OF
produce with impetuosity."

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, May AFTER hav-
ing been under consideration
more than two months the Alas
kan civil code bill was passed by the
senate. Senator Carter. to do this,
withdrew his amendment relating to
alien location Of mining claims, and
all other points in dispute. The army
appropriation bill carrying supplies for
the military established at over $114,-
100000, was then taken up. The feat
ure OF the discussion of the measure
was the debate on trusts, precipitated
by an amendment offered by Senator
berry( dem, Ark providing that the
quartermaster's department should
not purchase supplies from any rec
ogniZed trust. The amendment was
defeated. The bill had not been COM
pleted when the senate adjourned.
Washington, May For the first
time during SO years of agitation of
the project for the construction OF
an inter oceanic canal, the house Of
representatives entered upon the con-
Sideration of measure to actually
authorize the building of the canal.
The debate was memorable be-
cause Of the Unexpectedly power
full opposition it developed. MIR.
Burton (Ohio), chairman of the
rivers and harbors committee, Mr..
Hit Qll), chairman of the foreign af.
fairs committee, and Cannon (Ill),
chairman Of the appropriation COM
mittee, threw the weight of their in
fuence against 1t not because they
were opposed to building the canal,
but because they considered the time
