were, perhaps, too much astonisbed
at the British ocCentriClty of bathing

Sir Redyers Butler, wishing to consult

Sir Redyers was Obliged to ride to the

SIMPLE FARM PHONES.
How a Substantial System May be H.
stalled in Country at Small Cost

The organizer of a successful farm
telephone service tells how a simple
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 superintend
the work of installation. Telephones
to serve the purpose fairly well can be
bought for $l1 to Sl2 Wholesale. aud
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 adjust, and car
ry sound perfectly provided the battery
Is kept in working order. Too many
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 instruments on it..
Ihis is about all 1t can carry, especially
as It is wired with common No. IL gal
vanized wire which is liable to rust,
and thus involve greater resistance to
the current Copper is now being sub.
stituted for iron on some lines which
were originally put up at the lowest
possible cost. Copper is better
trans~t''er of current. and does not
impair The d.sinctncss of the talk by
eJrgosiJa.
LIE aIcrasc cost of iron for farm
lines is about 81 per mile. whue No. IA
copper can be had for $2l. The poles
may measure 6 to inches at the base
and 4 inches at the top. and % feet
long. They should be put to feet
in the ground and 175 feet apart Lo-
Gust poles are very serviceabIe When
the instrument has been put up in the
house and an insulated wire run out to
meet the line outside. ground connec-
lions should be made by putting copper
wire or rod down, say four feet, into
damp soil outside the cellar. This
is needed to make the circuit only
when one line of wire is used instead
Of two. 1t is:a common practice TO
start out the Tine 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 disturbance Of
nervous people

The Flag I'm neonrntinn.

Writing of "Civic Festivals and Pro-
cessions," in the Century, Charles r.
Lamb says on the subject of the flag
in decoration:
"The Stars and Stripes, though not
the most successful piece of decora-
ton, can still be so treated as success
fully to combine with any scheme; but
to do this it should be massed over
doorways or stands, or, if used sepa'
rately should be hung repetitively from
the windows along the entire line Of
parade, preferably on one Of the upper
stories, so as to give a continuous line
Of red, white, and blue from house
to house.
"The American flag is not impossible
Of successful treatment: we have al
ready begun to initiate the French man
ner Of raging small flags in an upright
position from a common base, and re-
peating these groups at Intervals; but
the tricolor bunting is one of the most
difficult to use satisfactorily, because
the equal propOrtisn Of red to blue is
not a fortunate color-combinaton. 1t
would therefore be advisable that the
committee in charge should select those
symbolic cOlors whFah would be ap-
propriate, and use them in such guam
tity as would give definite color
scheme to the entire line"

Then as illness and old age made II
