The Best Telephoned city.

What is the best telephoned city in
the world? San Francisco seems to be
the answer. In that city, with popu-
lation of 342,7S2, there are 21,324 tele-
phones, or siXty-two per thousand. In
Europe, Copenhagen is probably the
best telephoned city, with 1871 tele-
phones to it's 312,S59 of population,
equal to forty-nine per thousand. In
Copenhagen, too, the best conditions
for the public exist, although the rates
are relatively as high as those in Amer
lean cities. London compares very I'M
favorably with these figures. At the
beginning of this year there were A.
Ill telephones to a population of more
than 100000, or proportion Of sew
en- to every thousand people. New
York, with population OF 1850. OO0
had 54,647 instruments, or twenty-six
to a thousand.

years since I've been across the water,

frightfully muddy too.

Then l remembered the English Gus

the boots. We keep only two servants,
you know, both women, and Of course
in the country you have to rub them
the right way or they'll leave. l knew
perfectly well that if l told either of
those free and independent Irish wo-
men to clean the Englishman's shoes
we'd be left servantless, and that
would have been the death of my
wife.
II lifted the shoes gingerly by two
fingers and carried them to my room.
When 1 thought the servants must be
asleep, l crept down stairs and got to
work with brush. At every sound
would nearly jump out of my own
boots and drop his. l fancied every
moment that the girls would see my
candle and give the alarm of burglars
or that my friend would be taken ill
and get up and find me brushing his
shoes. Oh, l had pretty time of It'll!

Romance of the Cortnthtnn Column.
In the winter a young girl had died
in Corinth. Some time afterward her
maid gathered together various trim.
kets and playthings which the girl had
loved and brought them to the girls
grave. There she placed them in a
large square tile upon the basket to
prevent the wind from overturning it.
1t happened that under the basket was
root of an acanthus plant. When
spring came, the acanthus sprouted,
but it's shoots were not able to pierce
the basket, and accordingly they grew
around it, having the basket in their
midst. Such of the long leaves as
grew up against the four protruding
corners of the tile on the top Of the
basket curled round under these cor
ners and formed pretty volutes.
Kallimachos, the sculptor, walking
that way one day, saw this and i'm
mediately conceived the notion that the
form Of the basket with the plaque
on top Of 1t and surrounded by the
leaves and stalks Of acanthus would
be comely heading for columns in ar
chitecture. He from this idea formed
the beautiful Corinthian styk of capt
tai. Such, at least, is the story as the
architect Vitruvius told it 1900 years
ago.
