TELEPHONES ON THE FARM.

The organizer of a successful farm
system can be installed at low cost.
The first requisite is to secure at least
one man who has sufficient practical
knowledge of electricity to superin-
tend the work of installation. Tele-
phones to serve the purpose fairly well
can be bought for $11 to $12 wholesale,
and an extra quality can be secured
for SIS, with tWo-jar battery power
and with adjustable arm attached to
transmitter The cheaper instruments,
| however, will last for years for farm
work. They are easy to handle and ad-
just, and carry sound perfectly pro-
vided the battery is kept in working
order. Too many telephones should
not be placed on one circuit, or the
talk will be weak, from the resistance
being excessive.
One farm circuit, which runs a
distance of three miles, has ten in
struments on it. This is about all it
can carry, especially as it is wired
with common No. II galvanized wire,
which is liable to rust, and thus in
volve greater resistance to the current
Copper is now being substituted for
iron on some lines which were orig
inally put up at the lowest possible
COST Copper is a better transmitter Of
current and does not impair the dis
tinctness of the talk by corrosion. The
average cost of iron wire for farm lines
is about 81 per mile, while No. IA cop
per can be had for $21. The poles may
measure six to eight inches at the base
and four inches at the top, and twenty
three feet long. They should be put
three to four feet in the ground and
175 feet apart. Locust poles are very
serviceable.
When the instrument has been put
up in the house and an insulated wire
run out to meet the line outside ground
connections should be made by put
ting copper wire or rod down, say,
four feet in damp soil outside or in the
cellar. This is needed to make the cir,
cult only when one line of wire is used
insteadOf two. It is a common practice
to start out the line wire slack from
the house to the first pole near it, SO
that the vibration from the main wire
will not be brought into the house, to
the possible annoyance and distrub-
ance of nervous people.-St. Louis
GlObe-Democrat.

PEN PICTURE OF TOLsTOI.

A Russion writer named Sergyeenko
has published a book descriptive Of
Tolstoi's appearance and manner of
life He is "a giant old man, of medi-
UNI stature, with the typical face of
the Russian peasant" He wears a
dark gray flannel blouse, with wide,
turn-down collar, displaying his sin
envy neck at the curves of the head.
He appeared neither older nor younger
than his age, and produced the impress
sion of a well-preserved, energetic
peasant" Tolstoi explains how he
quarreled with Turgeneff The latter
had written Fathers and Children and
asked Tolstoi to read it, The latter
made the fatal mistake of lying down
to the task. Pretty soon he fell asleep.
81 awoke," he says, with a queer SEN
sation, and when I opened my eyes I
beheld Turgeneff's gigantic figure re-
firing from the study"

coffee in Holland being % pounds and
in Denmark Is, against IL in the
United States.
The tea imported into the United
States comes chiefly from China and
Japan and in larger amounts from
China than from Japan. Very little
Ceylon or Indian tea, relatively, is i'm
ported into the United States, though
there has been a large increase in the
English market for both of recent
years, and the policy of the English
government has been to favor such i'm
portations rather than those from
China and Japan. Twenty years ago
only II per cent. of the tea imported
into England was from India or Cey-
lon; now more than 70 per cent. of the
tea imported comes from those coun-
tries The collections of the English
government last year from customs
duties on tea amounted to $19,000,000;
the customs revnues from coffee were
only 100000. One of the curiositie3
of tea drinking is found in it's popu-
larity in Canada, and one of the curl
OsitieS of coffee drinking is found in
France, where, Notwithstanding the al
most universal use of coffee with
meals, the average consumption per
capita is only about 31a pounds, or
about One-third o. what it is in the
United States. In Great Britain the
consumption of coffee is less than 1
pound year per capita and Of tea it
is more than pounds. Scientists are
not agreed as to the relative merits or
dement's of tea and coffee drinking.

THE BEAUTY OF RACE.
How the Standards OF international
Comparison Have Changed.

The international comparison OF
beauty ought to be revised some three
times in a century,; and all who have
looked upon men and women, to see
how they differed by race in one gen
GRAFTON, would do we'll to look again
with a like intention as another gen
Grafton comes to it's full growth
Otherwise they may be taking old
phrases for The sentences of judgment
upon present things.
Thus when the Punch cartoons were
much occupied with the American fig
ure, it was doubtless true that the
American was, as represented in those
simple allegories an exceedingly mar
row man-narrow from shoulder to
shoulder and especially narrow in
face. But the American face today
has a peculiar breadth. It shows
those straight horizontal lines of level
features that the first Napoleon wears
in the legendary portraits; broad
brOWs, eyebrows that have room to
lay their plume straight from end to
end without the regular arch of the
caprici0us curve which a smaller fore
head must wear perforce. Accord
ingly, the eyes of young Americans
are set wide apart-with that width
between that was once the distinction
of the Indian, but the young Ameri-
cans eyes are framed in a larger or
bit, and in them lodge the shadows
of the intellectual hollows that are
in no wise Italian.
The narrowest faces at this close
Of the century seem to be, by some
chance of association on this single
point, the Arab and the English; but
the English is, needless to say, mere
ly prevalent and hardly a general mar
rowness, contradicted by every third
head or so in the cOncourse on the
streets, according to the law of that
variety which gathers nearly every
mind within q race so rich in prepar-
alton.
AID who, asked at random what is
the most general sign of French
woman's face, will reply to the pres
ent purpose? However it may have
been in the past, there is one form

that in spite of the multitude of ex-
face; that is, no other European face
has it so frequently. The eyes are
set a feur de tete, with very full, sur
rounding eyelids, and the eyelids and
the eye itself is smoothly prominent;
not made to seem prominent, as an
English eye often is, in profile, by
the cavern of the orbit, but frankly
and evenly prominent, eye and eye
lid and all the parts there adjacent,
prosperous and we'll nourished. If
these eyes are large they are large
without mystery, and if they are
dark, they are dark without gloom,
and if bright, bright without the am
bush Of light.
These may be the eyes of charm
ing head, full, fair, and we'll featured,
with the pleasant corners to the
mouth that give a childish finish to
face thus ample and furnished;
nevertheless they are perhaps the
least interesting of human eyes.
With the broad broWs that are admir-
able you must generally have the
broad figure that the world has nc
! longer the habit Of admiring-broad,
| that is, in proportion to the height.
Nor is it possible, except by the good
| luck Of some rare exception, to escape
those connections Eve may all be
wrong in thinking i'll of them, since
they are nature's) such as that of the
noble slender body, and the less noble
narrow head, or that which Charles
Dickens remarked when he describes
woman who had acquiline forms;
the beautiful fingers with their convex
points matched by a large acquiline
profile. It would be better to correct
our sense Of beauty by the funda-
mental harmonies of physical struc-
tUre, and to be heartily pleased with
the Roman nose that so often gives
us such a hand.

IN BED WITH RATTLESNAKFIS.
DR.. Schumann's Experience Gathering
Specimens in Mexico.

when | was collecting specimens
of plans and animals in Zacatecas,"
said the noted Dr. Macmillan Schu-
mann, Il had an experience with rat
tlesnakes which came near being the
death of me-"
The doctor is the Belgian explorer
and naturalist who went through
Africa, and in telling of his adventures,
he said:
81 had gone a days journey on
horseback from the city of Zacatecas
to the southeast to examine some old
Toltec ruins there. These are known
as the Quemada ruins. They are very
extensive. I got there late at night.
had shot a couple of doe on the way
and had thrown them across my pack
animal
CON my arrival within the ruins
lit fire to get my supper, after
lit fire to get my supper, after which
i spread my blanket and lay down. In
the morning when | woke up I threw
my hand outside of the blanket and it
almost touched big poisonous rattle
snake. I escaped by the merest
chance. Looking toward my feet what
was my establishment to see rattle
snakes all over the blankets. There
were no less than six of them besides
the one that missed my hand.
''The reptiles were not the Crotalus
horridus, or diamond crotalus milarius,
found in the hot regions. They are
very poisonous When I had lit my
fire in the evening l could not see the
snakes which I presume, had crept
along the walls.
"The altitude of Zacatecas and the
old ruins is between 1000 and 5000
feet, and it gets quite cold at night
MY fire was what undoubtedly attract
ed them When they got out toward it
they found my bed, and, discerning
the warm blankets, crawled up on
them and went to sleep. | have al
ways thought it was almost miracul-
Gus that I escaped being bitten. AS |
did not want the snakes, having al
ready all | wanted, [ killed them and
nailed them all to the adobe wall, with
my card on each.
"The lizards and other reptiles which
got there [ sailed away in casks and
forwarded to Europe. 1t is general
belief among the Indians, notably
among the Creeks, Cherokees and
Choctaws in the Indian Territory,
where I was for time, that if one is
bitten by rattJesnake all he has to do
to prevent fatality is to eat the snake.
But I never discovered any virtue in
| this. The best remedy is to immedi-
ately bind a thong above the wound,
so that the poison cannot circulate
higher Then cut an incision below
the wound and squeeze out as much
blood as possible. Then if to the
wound is made an application of pot
ash or any alkali there is almost no
danger.
st got the best collection of reptiles
from Mexico and forwarded them to
Europe that has ever been seen there.
The rattlesnakes were so plentiful that
they could be seen by thousands and
thousands San Francisco Call

bedded in the rocks for thousands OF
years. Then, TOO, Whitney, who stud
led the locality wher it was found at
the time could not have been fooled by
the miners planting a skull And then
similar prehistoric remains have been
found in ten or a dozen adjoining coun-
ties ii Calayeras in California"
The Calaveras skun was found about
thirty years ago by gold miners, who
were driving a tunnel under a noun
tain. The Table mountain are of vol
canic origin. Biologists reasoned that
the lava must have flowed down a val
ley, and they believed that in that val
ley there was once, ages ago, a stream.
They were of the opinion that there
was gold in that stream, and a mining
company proceeded to drive a tunnel
under one of the mountains, on the
theory that they would strike the en-
cient bed of the stream and find gold
in it.
They did find the bed of a prehistoric
stream, and they found a great deal of
gold in it. They also found stone i'm
plements which mad been used by a pre-
historic race of men. Similar nipple
ments and remains of men have been
found in other California counties.

TEA AND COFFEE DRINKING.
AS Popularity of One Goes up Impor.
tations of Other Go Down.

Nearly 900,000,000 pounds of coffee
were imported into the United States
during the fiscal year ending July 1,
1898, an increase over the year preced-
ing of more than 1OO,O0O,0OO pounds.
During the same period tea to the
amount of 100000 pounds was i'm
ported into the United States,
against 100000 pounds of tea in
the year preceding. These facts, to-
gether with the steadily increasing
popularity of coffee as a drink in the
United States, and the steadily decl1n-
ing popularity of tea, have led to some
revival Of the controversy as to the
relative merits of the two and the SUI
perior popularity of the former here.
The Partially for tea or coffee shown
by the people of various countries can
not be traced to any particular cause.
The English, the Russians and the
Canadians come generally under the
heading of tea drinkers. The Dutch, the
Scandinavians, the Germans and the
Belgians are coffee drinkers, but why
this distinction shuold exist has never
heretofore been made clear, and the
position of the United States has been
an indefinite one in the matter, coffee
being preferred by some and tea by
others, with this essential difference,
that, while the average consumption
per capita Of tea has remained sta
tionary for twenty-five years, the popu-
larlty of coffee as a drink has been
steadily increasing. The coffee i'm
ported into the United States comes
chiefly from Brazil, which furnished
last year 100000 of the $4,000, 900
puonds received. From other South
American states 90,000,00O pounds
were imported into this country, from
Mexico and Central America 10000, 900,
and from the West Indies, chiefly Cuba
and Porto Rico, 6,500,00O Porto Rico
is great cOffee-producing island, and
its commerce with the United States
must be largely increased under the
newly established conditions. Nearly
100000 pounds of coffee were import
ed into the United States from Asia
and Oceanica last year, chiefly from
Hawaii, and the trade with Hawaii in
coffee seems certain to be increased in
the future, too. Thus all economic
conditions appear to be favorable to
the growing popularity of coffee as a
drink, and no like conditions favor the
more extended popularity of tea. Not
the United States larger last year than
ever previously in the history Of the
country, but it was larger per capita
than ever before, and was exceeded by
two countries only-Holland and Den
mark, the per capita consumption of
