kind. said the manager of a large
exchange. Il am confirmed in the be-
lief that, despite its popularity, every
body does not know how to use the
telephone"
One of the mistakes made by many
people who use the telephone is that
they do not place the lips close enough
to the instrument, says the New York
Tribune. Some people make this error
because they can't forget the old-style
instrument. In order to obtain the
best results with 1t it was necessary to
keep the lips few inches from this
box and to speak across the opening,
and not into it. Get further away
from the phone" was the cry when the
old-style instrument was in use, and
some old subscribers have this dis.
tant habit" as the telephone peopls
call 1t, and they are usually told by
the one at the other end to talk loud
err"
III I were to lay down rule or
speaking on the telephone I should
say: Keep the chin we'll raised and
speak with a large amount of air In
the chest articulate slowly and dis
unctly and use the lips-that u.s. place
the voice in the front of the mouth"

BRITONS AFRAID OF RIVALS.
FavoFs and Trade Not Coming Their Way So Rapidly as in
 the Past.

The British people are desperately anxious to see the America cup back again in the old country, but they would prefer even more to know that the fastest mail steamer on the At lantic had her home in the decks of the Mersey, says a London newspaper. Competition is becoming remorseless; the days of monopoly are receding swiftly into the past. Not many years ago such an angry outcry as that which was raised at the statement that great engin eering contracts in connection with the railways of South Africa had been placed in the United States would have been impossible. British iron and steel makers would have laughed in- creduously at the suggestion that their American rivals could produce work more cheaply and more quickly than themselves. There is no such laugh ter to-day.
 The British public have not forgotten that it is an American bridge which crosses the Atbara ana that 1t was placed there by American engineers, because no British firm could guar antee it's completion within six months of the time specified on the other side of the Atlantic. Whatever the reasons were, the fact remains-a standing re- hinder that the race is to the swift. When the huge contracts for South Africa come to be placed will it be found that any of the leeway has been made up?

WRITING ON THE GROUND.
Jesus Said to Have Written Some of
 the Leading Sins of the Wom- ans Accusers.

Tn the Christliche Welt, of Leipzig, No. 35, Prof. Casper Rene Gregory has published a short but very interesting contribution 10 the disputed sectlon' John 7:35, to 8:11, the object being not q defense of or an attack on this famous pericope, but rather it's interpretation on the basis of peculiar readings found bv the author in three different mant- scripts, one in Athens, another ln Mt. Athos, and a third in Dessau, the addi- tional matter adding great dramatic interest and clearness to the words. In the traditional form of the text Christ is described as stopping over and writing on the ground, which ac- tion and His department results in the accusers of the woman caught in adultery leaving Him and her, appar- ently in shame. But what it was in Christ's writing that effected this change in the programme of the Phar- isees is not indicated. According to the variants found by Gregory, Christ wrote in the sand some leading sins of the woman's accusers, and he inter prets this to signify that as soon as these saw that the Lord knew of the great wrongs they had done. but which they had thought were secret, in the consciousness of their guilt they left Him. These additional words certainly make clear what hitherto had been eniGmatical in the text. Gregory has evidently high opinion of this peri cope, even if it is not a part or portion of the canonical Gospel. He thinks that possibly it is older than this Gospel itself, and he closes with these words:
 "The scene here described evidently made an indelible impression on the souls of tLose present. In what man. ner and when and where this section found it's way into the Gospel of St. John, we do not know. But who would be willing to miss it?"-N. Y. Outlook.

GLASS AND CHINA.
A Few Suggestions Concerning the
 Selection of Table and Pantry Pieces. &

One of the first things to provide for, both in the kitchen and pantry, and in fact everywhere else in the house, IS place for everything and everything should be kept in its proper place; there should be no little corners or shelves where broken, cracked or clipped glass, china or other debris could be stuffed sway. The next es- sential is that list should be kept of every possession. This list should be gone over twice a year, especially that portion of it which pertains to the china and glass, and when necessary added to at such times; an appreciabl quantity need, however, never be add ed should each article be replaced as soon as it is broken.
 To-day there is no excuse for ugly china or glass; good and pretty things can be bought for as little money as bad and ugly things. In selecting china the plain white is most serviceable and elegant and has this advantage that should one or more pieces become broken or chipped-nothing detracts more from the appearance of a table than clipped china-they may be read ily. replaced. With decorated china this is next to impossible and many hand some set is spoiled beyond redemption because the vegetable dishes or other important parts of the service are broken and must be replaced by odd pieces that in DO way fit or harmonlze with the major part of the set.
 Plain white china insures cleanliness and one never tires of it as one does of elaborate patterns and colors.
 The glass for everyday use should be as inexpensive as possible, for while there is no need of "best" china serv- ice there certainly must be some "best glass held in reserve for special occa- sions. For small family 8 dozen tumblers for everyday use is generally ample to leave out at one time--wlth but few glasses and little glassware generally to look after at time there is less likelihood of breakage.
 There is no reason why with even the smallest expenditure the table ap- pointments should not be attractive. Nice things do not necessarily mean expensive ones.-Housewife.
