ENGLISH TELEPHONE SERVICE
II Is the worst In the world and the
Prices Are Extortion-
ate.

In the matter Of telephones England
is probably worse served than any civ
ilized country in the world, says the
National Review. Switzerland or
Sweden can give her points. A tele-
phone monopoly was created. which
has worked badly. Quarrels of all kinds
with the local authorities have arisen
as TO way leaves.

Marble Arch which has, owing to this
cause, for years been vainly applying

n very busy little town IS miles from
London. The place did not appear In
the telephone directory. Yet in
Sweden or Switzerland the smallest VII
lage is on the telephone.
AS for the prices charged by the
company, they are eXtortionate. Par

but as party government is mainly
concerned with making laws which are
not wanted and neglecting all that
conduces to real progress, no adequate
measures have been taken to right the
system,

A DOGS SUPPLICATIONS.
The Intelligent Little Pet wanted
the Sntchcl to Get OF
the slipper.

mike is the name of little gray,
silky haired spaniel, whose home is on
Maryland avenue, and he is a most cum
ming and amusing animal, and as wise
as it is possible that a little dog can be,
says the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. His
mistress has taught him many tricks.
He can tell you what he does when the
policeman comes, playing dead dog,
and he can call his mistress when the
telephone bell rings, and is altogether
n delightful dog.
He has been taught to beg for things,
and his begging looks for all the world
like coaXing, SO cunningly is it done.
The other day his mistress sent him up
stairs to get her slippers. lie came
down presently with one, and She sent
him back for the other, but again he
returned without it.
''Ie was sent back, and this time he
stayed so long that his mistress went up
stairs herself to see what was keep
ing him. A heavy satchel had fallen
upon the slipper, and the little dog,
after trying in vain to move it, sat on
his hind legs, with his little paws
raised in supplication, hoping that he
might persuade the satchel to get off
the slipper. He probably was con-
vinced that his prayer was efiicacious
when his mistress lifted the hindrance

A Sad Truth.

An exchange says that gossip has
made NANNY home hell on earth;
gossip has parted husbands and wives;
gossip has blackened and sullied the
character of many poor girls; gossip
has parted lovers who would have
been very happy if it had not been for
gossip. One little misstep or one
little indiscretion will cause gossip to
arise with new strength and start on
her mission. Her, did we say2 We
ought not to, for we have our male
gosslpers, and as rule they are ten
times more venomous than female.
A good, healthy man gossiper is about
as low and dangerous as the meanest
thing on earth.

TELEGRAPH MEN HAVE TRIALS
Their work in the Philippines IL
Reset by Many Hnrdships and
Dancers.

A Kansas man who is with the
United States telegraph corps in the
Philippines in letter home tells OF
the difficulties which the corps en-
counters, Recently two big army
wagons, each drawn by six mules,
were loaded with rubber insulated
wire, n battery and reel to reel it
out, keeping up with the troops.
The road became so bad they had to
strap the reel on mules back and
the rest of the wire on other mules.
leaving the wagon in the mud up to
the hubs.
One mule carried the folding field
telegraph table, with instruments all
attached. Every few miles they
would stop and telegraph back to
Manila the progress of the column.
To do so they would take the table
off the mule, unfold it, cut the wirc
from the reel on the other mule
connect it with the instruments and
do the necessary telegraphing. This
was generally done when the troops
stopped for few minutes to rest.

NEW CALENDAR PROPOSED.
Russian Astronomers Are ANXIOUS to
Have the world Adopt
New system.

The chronological disagreement be-
tween Russia and all the great ma
tions of Europe owing to the reten-
ton of the Julian calendar has be-
come an increasing nuisance in pro-
portion as Russia's relations, especial
ly commercially, with western Europe
have continued to increase.
Hitherto the Russian calendar has
been 12 days behind. This week it
drops another day behind, and ac-
cordingly Prof, Glazenap and COM
mittee of the Russian Astronomical
society have elaborated an entirely
new calendar, which, it is hoped, will
be universally adopted This calen-
dar provides a common year of exact
ly 365 days and leap year of 366 days
This system is so near the real solar
year that no more than one days diff
ference can occur in 100 900 years.
If the Protestant states in the west
do not adopt this system Russia, in
stead of 13 days behind, will be one
day in advance now and two days in
advance for 1920. The committee pro
poses also the rechristening of March
to peace" in honor of The Hague
conference.

IN UNUSUAL DEMAND.
Many Passports Issued to Foreign
Born Americans Who Are
Going Abroad,

An unusually large number OF pass
ports are being issued by the state de-
partment at the request OF congress
men, who are acting for their con-
stituents, They are for persons who
are naturalized citizens, many of
whom are afraid to go back without
passports. Natiye-born Americans as
rule do not get passports when they

of Minnesota, has secured 40 pass
ports for his constituents during the
last five weeks, and in speaking OF
this said:
"The district is purely agricultural,
but the people are well-to-do, and
hundreds of them will go abroad this
wear. Two-thirds of those getting
passports originally came from across
the water, and are going back to Visit
the old homes and relatives. They
have prospered in this country and
are able to spare the money for trip

them are taking their families

Never Satisfied.

None are satisfied One man is
struggling to get justice, some others
are flying from it. One man is trying
to build a house, arother is trying to
get rid of it. One man is spending
all that he earns in taking his girl to
the theatre, in hopes of eventually
making her his wife, while his neigh
Dor is spending all the gold he has tc
get a divorce. The eastern man
wants to 60 west and the western man
wants to go east The farmer wants
to go into the city and the city man
wants to go into the country. The
man in trade wants to get out and
everybody not in trade wants to be.
The old wants to be young and the
young want to be old.

Gardening In Alaska.

Two American women conducting n
mission school on the Yukon, 1900
miles from its mouth, tested the Alaske
climate last year in kitchen garden
ing, beginning operations IN the open
ground May l6. In spite of lack OF
rain for two months and cold storms
in midsummer, they harvested 25o
bushels of potatoes, 500 cabbages, 50
bushels of turnips and few bushels
of carrots. The strawberry bed set out
grew finely, but the crop of berries was
destroyed by mice.

THE KILLING OF WHALES.
There Is Little of Excitement or
Danger In the Pursuit ms 1t
Is Now Carried On.

DR.. Frederick W. True. of the Smith
sonian institution, who has just spent
two months in whale hunting in Green
bay, on the northeastern coast of New
foundland, reports an interesting ex-
periencc. He was sent out by the in
stitution to study the fishback whale
and of the 0S animals caught all but If
were of this variety. The story-book
romance has gone entirely out of whal-
ing as pursued by the Newfoundland
crs. There is no frail whaleboat, with
the grizzlcd old harpooner in the bow
to strike the whale, but instead lit
tie steam craft and powerful gun.
The gun throws large iron har-
poon, with crossarms which lie against
the shaft until it strikes a solid body
and then project out and imbed them
selves. The head of this harpoon is
cigar-shaped and sharp-pointed and
eXplodes as it strikes the whales side,
generating a gas which serves to keep
the fish afloat after the wrecking efTest
of the shock on its internal organs has
left it lifeless mass. A stout rope is
attached to the butt of the harpoon,
and by this the whale is kept in leash as
it threshes madly through the water
in vain effort to escape its unknown
enemy. Death rapidly ensues, unless,
as sometimes happens, the projcctilc
goes through the fish from side to side
when second shot is necessary.

Let all the people IN America re-
ioice and be glad, for the month of
NAV will be a great "high flood"
month and prosperity will rule in spite
of all the Affections that the jealous
"low-ebb" vial forces may choose to
send upon her The greater part of
the month will be fair and lovely; but
the planets are in position to give us
some unprecedented storms; resulting
in destructive floods. Snow storms
and hail storms may surprise us all; as
the suns magnetic and electric focus
will be inteyferred with by the sleet-
king planets and cause severe electri.
cal storms, seismic disturbances and
volcanic activity in the earth. Watch
out for strange phenomena, as the
pIannetts will be in very unusual
position this month. About the
middle of the month Venus, Earth,
Jupiter, and Uranus, will make a per
feet right angle with Mars, Mercury
and the Sun, while Neptune and Sat
urn will be in conjunction with each
other and the Sun. On the 27th, the
Earth passes between the sun and the
great planet Jupiter; and on the 2Sth,
the eclipse will appear; therefore, il
will be well for us to keep watchfu
eye upon the "weather" and upon oul
"hnance," as unusual disturbance.
may be looked for during the middle
and the latter part of the month.
