Loud Telephones for Ships.

One of the most important instru-
ments on modern vessels is the So
called loud talking telephone. Ex-
periments have recently been made
with it in the German navy, and have
proved so satisfactory that instru-
ments are now being placed on most
of the large sea-going ships. The spe-
cial value of this telephone lies in the
fact that a captain standing on the
bridge can easily hear any words that
may be spoken to him from the in
terior of the vessel, even though a
violent storm may be raging at the
time, and can in turn transmit without
straining his voice his own orders to
officers or men in any part of the YES
sci. Bad accidents have occurred
through misunderstanding of orders
given at a critical moment, due to
the fact that the words were not dis
tinctly heard, and it is only reasonable
to assume that casualties of this kind
can be avoided In the future through
the use Of this loud-talking telephone.

A railroad man told this story to the
conductor in charge OF the train on the
next track:
THE La Cross division established
a new flag station the other day" said
he Its nothing but whistling post,
but the road built platform and
laid sidetrack.
"There was not enough business to
pay the company to put regular agent
out there so the old fellow who keeps
the store was appointed a kind of an
agent. Well, the first day after he got
his appointment the through passen-
ger train was coming at about forty
miles an hour, and there was the old
fellow on the platform waving his
little old red flag. The engineer put
on the air and the train stopped at the
platform. When the conductor jumped
off there wasn't man in sight except
the man that ran the store.
Where's your passengers? the con-
ductor asked him.
why he says, 4 haven't got any
passengers
"'What did you flag us for|

to get off here Minneapolis Senti-

A newspaper writer has discovered
that the first newspaper in New York
was begun On November 16, 1925; a
second one entered the field November
5, 1873. During the Revolution there
were five. which, by agreement, ap-
peared on each day of the week. ex-
cept Sunday and Monday. Up to 1888
no daily had a circulation of 5000.
Advertising agents were unknown.
The Sun, established September 3,
1888, was the first successful penny
paper 1t soon printed four times as
many copies as the largest of the dali
lies, and its success made many imi-
tators. The editor of a daily had but
one assistant, and he rarely brought
in from the outside more than three
or four paragraphs in day. The total
receipts of the chief newspaper in
1925 might have been $4,000; in 1915,
100000; in 1860, 100000; and in 1872.
$1,000,000. The trade and commercial
weeklies began as far back as 1880,
but most of the strong ones were
founded just before the Civil War, and
had very difficult time in getting
established.

TRIBE TRAVELS ON PASS.
Pluto Indians Still Ride Free on Cen
tral Pacific Road.


The biggest free pass ever issued
was the one which the builders of the
Central Pacific gave to Johnson Sides,
chief of the Piute Indians of Nevada,
for himself and people for life, to ride
back and forth on all except passen-
ger cars as much as they pleased.
1t has been a source of delight to the
Indians to think that in one case, at
least, their paleface friends showed
the gratitude which is so seldom eX-
pressed. Those were polite as well as
wise men who daringly started that
early road, even before New York and
Chicago were connected by rail. They
knew that without the friendship of
the Indians the task would be almost
impossible, and they began by treat
ing the Indians well and keeping their
word with them-the only Indian
policy" necessary and the only one
which has ever succeeded. If you have
ever happened to ride through Nevada
on the railroad you must have been
impressed by the fact that the Indians
make themselves very much at home
on the trains. They swarm over the
platforms of blind baggage cars, on
the platforms Of blind baggage cars,
on the platforms of the mail and ex-
press cars, and on top of the cors and
empty fiat cars. Sometimes a freight
train pulls into Reno with more tons
of Indians and their baggage than it
has Of freight-and there is not a cent
for any Of them to pay. If there is any
possible excuse for them to travel they
aboard and so until they get tired
or get to the limit of the State, which
ends their pass.

Unable to Stand For Months Because OF
Sprained Ankles.
CURED BY ST. JACOBS OIL.
(From the Cardiff Times.)


Among the thousands OF voluntary endorse
ments of the great value Of st. Jacobs Oil for
sprains, stiffness, and soreness, is that of Mrs.

near Pontypridd South Wales, who rays

an now determined to advise all persons suf-
fering from pains to uso this wonderful REM
edy, which did so much for me-"
Mrs Thomas does no. enlighten MS as to
what treatment she pursued during the
months sho was unable to stand, and during
which timo she was suffering 80 much, but we
venture to suggest that had she called in any
well known medical man he would havo at
once have prescribedSt Jacobs Oil, for it has
conquered pain upwards OF fifty years. and
doctors know there is nothing 80 good. The
proprietors of st. Jacobs Oil have been award
ed twelve gold medals by different interna-
tional exhibitions as the premier pain killing
remedy Of tho world. The committees who
made the awards were in each instance COM
posed largely Of the most eminent medical
men obtainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did
not know the high opinion in which st. Jacobs
Oil is held by almost every progressive med
lcal man.

DR.. C. w. Fitz, who has delivered a
series of lectures in Boston on The
Hygiene of Childhood" said in the
course of one OF his papers:
The young child should be placed
when playing in an enclosed space,
which can be readily made by means
of pillows, over which a clean sheet is
thrown. Only such toys should be
used as can be often and readily
washed. For this purpose, simple, in
expensive toys are best. Bright colors
should be avoided, as they may con-
tain poisonous material, and they are
not, as has been thought, effective in
training the young child's color sense,
since it does not develop till much
later. The rag doll, so dear to the
child's heart, should be frequently dis
infected by steaming.
At the teething age, when the child
uses his toys for chewing ring of
pure gum rubber should be applied.
The cracker ring, though theoretically
valuable, becomes dangerous when as
q succulent mass it is used by the child
to wipe up the floor.

His Brother Died 13o Years Ago.

There are probably not many men
living who had n brother that died
l40 years ago. This, however, appears
to be the case with an old man who
was called as a witness in the small
Town of Styria. His father was mar
ried the first time in 1T60, at the age
of nineteen. The following year he
had son, who died after few
months. His father married again
in 1911, at the age Of seventy, and wit
ness was born the next year, which
made him eighty-nine. Mark Twain
dropped a tear upon the grave Of
Adam, so perhaps this old man still
grieves for his brother.-LondoD

THE ORCANIST,
I wonder how the organist

wonder how the organist
Can do so many Jnlngs;
He's getting ready long before
The choir stands up and sings;
He's pressing buttons, pushing stops;
He's pulling here and there,
And testing all the working parts
While listening to the prayer.
He runs mighty big machine,
It's full of funny things;
A mass Of boxes. pipes and tubes,
And sticks and Stats and strings;
There's little whistles for a cent,
In rows and rows and rows:
I'll bet there's twenty miles of tubes
AS large as garden hose.
There's scores, as round as stovepipes, and
There's lots so big and wide,
That several little boys I know
Could play around inside;
From little bits of piccolos
That hardly make toot,
There's every size up to the great
Big elevator chute.
The organist knows every one,
And how they ought to go;
He makes them rumble like a storm,
Or plays them sweet and low;
At times you think them very near;
At times they're soaring high,
Like angels voices, singing far
Off, somewhere in the sky.
For he can take this structure that's
AS big as any house,
And make it squeak as softly as
A tiny little mouse;
And then he'll jerk out something with
A movement of the hand,
And make You think you're listening to
A military band.
He plays it with his fingers and
He plays it with his toes,
And if he really wanted to
He play it with his nose;
He's sliding up and down the bench,
He's working with his knees,
Hes dancing round with both his feet
As lively as you please.
! always like to take seat
Where | can see him go;
Hes better than a sermon, and
He does me good, / know;
I like the life and movement and
I nke to hear him play:
He is the most exciting thing
In town on Sabbath day.

CAMPS For ConsuInptiyes,

Camps for consumptives will soon be
a feature of hospital work near Bos-
ton. The project will be started with
one camp, and additions will be made
from time to time. Ten box tents will
be arranged in a circle around an
open air fire, and surrounding them
will be wall of duck eight feet In
height. The patients Will have an
opportunity to test tbs value Of fresh
air, for the tents will receive no other
heat than that obtained from the open
fire, and for the coldest weather extra
heat must be secured by means of
sleeping boots, hot water jugs and felt
blankets.

"Conscience money" in Great Brit
ain now amounts to thousands of
pounds annually The first sum no.
ticed was on March 30, 1850, when
1860 was carried to the public account
in consequence of Il note received by
the Chancellor. The writer with
troubled soul Implored him, "as an
honest man, to consider the money
the property of the nation, and to be
so just as to apply it to the use Of the
State in such manner that the nation
may not suffer by its having been de-
tanned, and thus to ease the conscience
of an honest man."
Word comes from Paris that some
handsome American women Of stately

the envy of many Parisiennes. The re-
suit is that n French professor has
come forward who claims to have a
process by which he can supply the
demand for increased stature, even
though the subject may have reached
maturity. He treats the ankles, knees
and spine electrically, claiming that
the osseous at the joints is thereby
expanded and the growth of the bones
stimulated. He claims that he can
add two-fifths of an inch month
during six months treatment. Need
less to say the professor has already
large practice.
