HELLO" SERVICE IN SWITZER

"I noticed some reference in the paper the other day to the cheapness of the telephone service in Switzerland" said New Orleans broker, who recently returned from an extended visit abroad
 q can vouch for the fact that the tolls arc very low, but the way the exchanges are run is we'll calculated tc drive man to drink. While I was in Berne last fall 1 desired to phone to q friend who in small village in the adjoining can ton, although forty miles distant. I was told that I would find a public instru- inent at the postoffice, and with good deal of difficulty I located the bureau, as they termed it, in suit of rooms up- stairs. A very military looking old gentleman with white mustache re-
 ceived me and listened politely to my request It was then about 10 o'clock in the morning, and he informed me with many apologies that l would have to call again. as the line was only open between and o'clock. l was annoy ed, but presented myself on time, and was then put through q course of in- terrogations that reminded me ot an application for life insurance. When I had satisfied the old gentleman that I was a harmless American crank, and that my intentions were strictly honor able, he called up the village exchange and directed them to send a messenger to the hotel after my friend. Another long wait ensued when the bell finally rang and the manager had mysteri- our confab in monosyllables with the other end of the line.

 It is astonishing that fruits for trim ming hats should rage as they do. Lit eral description of some stylish models would hardly be credited. Yet many a handsome hat looks more like a basket of fruit than like bit of high priced millinery. An example seemed all goose berries and entrants with lot of varie- gated leaves, mere edge of straw around this serving to keep all the fruit from falling eff and getting broken, for the fruit was tho most part glass. Cher Ties are the most popular glass fruit, but white glass entrants are in season, and as for gooseberries they are just the thing. As rule lots of natural col ored leaves are used with the fruit, but now and then wonderful leaves that never belonged to any growth are used.

 Those who have been wondering why Lord Roberts has not moved faster in South Africa have not properly consid- cred the difficulties with which he has had to contend. In the current num- Der of Harper'ss Weekly Captain D, L.. Zalinski, a retired officer of the United States army, shows what Lord Roberts has had to contend with in the matter of transportation. Figuring on the basis of three and half pounds of food a day for man and the requisite supply of forage for the cavalry, artil- lery, ambulance and other transport animals Captain Zalinski shows that it needs 2S00 wagons, requiring 16S00 ami mals to pull them, for an army of 144,- 900 men two days march from a base. In the Franco Prussian war the Ger mans estimated 1160 wagons for the train required for each army corps and on this basis Lord Roberts should have available according to Captain zalin-

It is expected by those who have been Investigating the subject, says the Washington correspondent of the Chi csgo Record, "that the government of Nicaragua will ask not less than S5,000,- 900 gold and perpetual percentage of the profits of the proposed canal as con- sideratlon for the lease of strip of ter ritory twelve miles wide, as called for by the Hepburn bill. The Maritime Canal company in their contract agree to give s6, 100000 and a share of the re- ceipts, and the Cragin-Ey concession calls for SS,OOO000 in stock and one-half of the net receipts after the payment of 6 per cent dividend upon the stock. If the canal is built by the government of the United States, as proposed by pend ing legislation, no stock will be issued, and it is doubtful whether congress would consider it good policy for our government to go into partnership with Nicaragua"

Some 533 of the wounded have died the mor- tality from wounds being small, owing to the small size, hardness and smooth surface of the unmodified Mauser bull let. According to Sir William MacCor- mac, the eminent surgeon, just return ed from South Africa, "as many as 9 per cent. of the wounded at the base hospitals recover and are discharged, very large proportion being able to re- turn to duty at the front" The chief losses are from enteric fever, dysen- tery, pneumonia and other forms of disease.

Is Building One In New York for His
Bride.
Senator Clark of Montana is making
preparations to erect in New York city
the finest private residence in the
world. He has purchased the property
adjoining his present residence Mt the
corner of Fifth avenue and Seventy
seventh street, which will give him
room for large mansion. Architects
are now at work perfecting the plans,
which provide for picture gallery
and statuary hall two stories in height.
surrounded by an imposing dome. This
opens into state dining room in such
way as to give the effect of one vast
apartment, and a similar arrangement
will be made with the conservatory on
the other side.
The most imposing architectural fea-
ture of the house will be marble
staircase running to the top and light
ed by dome of stained glass. The eX-
terror walls will be of granite and $50
men are now at work cutting it in
Maine. The fascade fronting Fifth
avenue will be what the architect calls
''modernized Louis NV" and will be
very ornate. The house alone will
cost S5,OOO.OOO and no limit will be
placed upon the interior decorations.
Mr.. Clark has paid $4,000 for a lot
102x55 feet in size at the corner of
Park avenue and Seventy-sixth street,
New York, where he will erect $780,
900 stable.
1t is no longer a secret among the
senator's friends that some time dur
ing the summer he will be married to
Miss La Chappelle, the daughter of
n French Canadian miner, formerly in
his employ, who was Killed in one of
his mines. Senator Clark generously
placed the widow in comfortable cir
cumstances and provided for the edu-
cation of the children. He sent the

SURVIVAL OF THE uNFlTTEsr,

Instances In Nature where 0oo1 Gives
way to Seeming EVIL
A matter that has attracted the at
tention of all outdoor students for
ages, and which still remains unset
tied. is the fact that. although the
farmer wages constant warfare on
weeds in order that his crops may
grow. the food-bearing plants often
fall to seed fruition. but the weeds
never. The more noxious the
plant the more certain it is
to flourish, says New England
writer. What is true of the plant
world Is true of bird and mammal life.
The English sparrows, which nearly
every one hates. increase at the rate
OF millions yearly, in spite of rigid
winters and bounty laws, while the
birds which add the beauty of color
and song to outdoor life are tending to-
ward extinction. The frost that i'm

sought shelter, at the same time pro-
tects the field mouse pest from his
natural enemies. The same crust bears
up the wolf. while 1t practically i'm
prisons the deer. Insect parasites kill
the game birds. while the owl seems
to enjoy their companionship and
cares not how thickly they swarm
within the cover of his plumage. The
crows fly over morning and evening
from roosting to feeding place and re.
turn in flocks as great as those of .
century ago. The ducks and geese re.
turn from the south spring after spring
with constantly thinning ranks. Al

Her Unique Idea.

A Pittsburg girl, who was a genius
for giving charming luncheons and
originating novel features for them,
introduced fiower-arranging contest
the other day, which all her friends arc
copying. When each guest took her
seat for this particular luncheon she
found at her cover pretty vase of Bo-
hemian glass. Beside the vase she
found two or three rosebuds and few
sprays of green. The hostess explained
that each girl would be expected tc
show her artistic skill by arranging
the flowers in the vase; that prize
would be given for the most exquisite
grouping. Five minutes were allowed
for the work, and at the end of that
time some very dainty vases were
ready to be judged. The prize was one

EXPENSIVE FLOWER SEEDS.
Ono Species Is Worth as Much As siso
an Ounce.


"At this time of the year there is
plenty of work for the 1900 girls who
put up seed packets in the numerous
wholesale flower houses in New York, :
says a correspondent. Some of the
big houses take on hands early in Feb
ruary, but most of the girls do not find
steady employment until March and
April, when the demand for flower and
vegetable seeds is very large. Girls
make the best packers of seeds because
they are small fingered and alert, and
do the delicate work more expedi-
tiously than men. Seed packets hold
anywhere from one-eighth of an
ounce up to one pound or more, and a
good hand will measure, fill and seal
up ready for shipment from 1,500 to
1000 packets in an hour. The girls arc
paid about Is cents for each 1,00o
packets they put up, and providing
they work steadily for eight hours,
they can earn from $1.75 to $3.50 per
day. The most expensive seeds that
are put up are petunias, the fancy,
newly grated kind, and calciolaria. A
fine petunia seed Is worth $25 an
ounce. 1t is as light and fine as chaff
or down, and must be handled very
carefully to avoid waste. Extra fine
grades of calciolaria and petunia seeds
are worth as much as $120 an ounce.
This may seem like big price for
such small quantity of seed, but the
greatest pains have to be taken to
raise these plants and prepare the seed
for market. In vegetables the most
costly we have to consider is the cauli-
flower. This seed Is worth from S26
to $50 pound, and is put up and gen
orally sold in very small measure
ments. The cheapest vegetable seeds
are corn, peas and beans, and they
are put up in 5 and 10 cent packages. -

Resting his two arms against the

upon them, shutting out the beautiful

there was a sound of wings, and again

touches, he suddenly became aware OF
something smooth and hard fastened

could 1t be SO? Breathless with eager
ness, he reached his chamber, and
