A Telephone whistle.

When the earpiece of telephone re-
ceiver is held to the mouthpiece of the
transmitter, more or less Shrill tone
or whistle is heard in the receiver. This
occurs when the apparatus is in good
working condition and when the trans
mitter is on short circuit. This effect
is seemingly due to a series of reactions
analogous to but much more complex
than those which occur in an electric
bell when it's circuit is closed A move
ment of the diaphragm of the receiver
toward its magnet tends to weaken the
pressure on the carbon of the transmit
ter, which causes a weakening of the
current, allowing the diaphragm to fall
away. with the further result that the
air column is compressed, increasing
the pressure on the carbon again and
also increasing current strength, where
by the diaphragm in again attracted
and this action is repeated over and
over again.-Cassier's Magazine.

The Human Mouth.

1t has been discovered that the hui
man mouth is slowly but surely and
steadily moving toward the left of the
face, which will in time bring it some
where in the neighborhood of the left
ear. All the five great races of man
have an uncomfortable tendency to eat
only with the teeth which grow from
the left jaws. This wears out the left
teeth more rapidly than those on the
right side of the mouth, and this in
turn gives the upper and lower jaws
an inclination toward the left.
1t is the expressed opinion of many
scientists who are foremost in the
worlds roll of professional honor that
in the course of time the mouth from
causes above mentioned will have COM
pletely changed its position and that II
will then be situated rather nearer the
left ear than to the nose.

women In Journalism.

Not a few of the women who have
gained notable success in the newspa-
per field within the past decade have
graduated into higher literature, such
as play writing and story writing, and
have thus achieved additional reputa-
ton. Others have sunk the undoubted
promise of their future into the more
pleasant paths of domestic life.
The question of the suitability of the
journalistic field for women is one
which may be looked at from many
vantage points. Where there are so
I many who have made successes in this
line, who shall say that it is not a
desirable line? The same rule applies
to this as to every other walk of life
requiring good health and nerves, grit,
perseverance and steady, earnest in
dustry. 1t is generally acknowledged
that the work of journalism is diff
cult one even for a man. A woman
oversensitive and not of good consti-
tuition, and, above all, without plenty
of pluck, might better choose some
other arena for her battle with life
than a newspaper office.-Kate Master
son in Era Magazine.

spider in some part of it. Cobwebs
and spiders are easily drawn and need
not be very accurate. The invitation
should be worded thus: "Will you

about different parts of the furniture
chairs, piano legs, tables, pictures, etc.
Have sticks or pieces of pasteboard
about three inches long attached to
each end of the several strings that
may be wound up as they are taken
from their several places. AS the
guests proceed to unravel the web each
gentleman will have to escort or enter
tain the lady whose string terminates
at the same place as his own. The fun
is caused by the unraveling of the
strings. The lady and gentleman who
are fortunate enough to get their string
unraveled first get prize. There may

A WINNING TRICK.
He Lost All His Bets and Made
Money by Doing So.


Money by Doing So.
The captain of one rather old and
slow steamer of years ago, finding that
he would have TO be long time in
China before he received a full cargo
of tea and would have probably to re-
turn in ballast, began, to every ones
establishment, to say that, owing to the
repairs that had been done to his en-
gines. he hoped to make racing pas
sage back to England. Then, still more
to the establishment of the captains of
the fast steamers and the world at
large, he commenced to back himself to
make the fastest passage home.
In such very considerable sums Of
money did he wager that people began
to think there was something In it, and
the merchants sent their tea almost en-
tirely to his ship, arguing that as the
captain stood to lose $500 the repairs to
his steamers engines had probably put
him in a position to bet almost on a
certainty.
OF course the steamer, whose great
est speed was eight knots an hour, ar
rived in England weeks after the 9th
ers, and the captain lost 1850, but in
stead of having to lie in China waiting
his chance of cargo coming in from the
interior, probable delay of weeks, he
had cleared in a few days after his
bets became known to the public with
full ship, thus recouping to his own
ers, who of course paid his betting loss
es, considerable number of thousands
of pounds protit.-Blackwoods Maya

Oriental Rugs.

"Oriental rugs" says a New York
dealer, "are nearly as standard as gold.
When an auctioneer sells you one for
5000, you may think you are getting ii
cheap, but you can get it at about the
same price from any reputable dealer.
Every rug house has its agents at auc-
tons, who pay mighty close to the mar
ket price for the genuine article. When
you have had an oriental rug for ten or
fifteen years, it is worth more than
when you bought it, provided it is in
good condition. 1t is then an antique
When you hear Of any one buying sec
ondhand oriental rugs at about one
third or one-quarter of their value, you
may safely wager that they have been
patched"

The subject of sleep is one in which
every woman Is interested. Sleep is not
only necessary and a great physical
comforter and restorer, but it is beau
tifier.
1t is pretty little Nine. Butterfly who
says, IF l sleep an hour, then ! shall
be pretty again." The Japanese women
understand the arts of beauty. They
know how to brighten the hair and
make it shine. They understand the
trick of gesture and the using Of the
voice And, more, they know the value
of sleep.
Sleep in the right amount clears the
skin, brightens the eyes and gives ex-
preston to the face. 1t takes away
that haggard look, fills out the hollows
around the eyes, fills out the cheeks

WINTER IN JAPAN.
The Natives Make Little Effort To
Combat the Trying Conditions.


The Japanese winter is most trying
on account of lis continual dampncss.
but the japanese are content to remain
cold. They make almost no effort to
overcome it, The old ''bushido" (chiv-
alrous) idea of the ''samUrai" (knights)
was that it was effeminate to feel cold,
aud such is their severe training that
they do not really feel it as we do. The
wearing of some extra "kimonos' and
the use of ''hibachi'' or brazier in
which are few tiny sticks of lighted
winter weather. With the "hibachi''
they never pretend to heat more than
their finger tips. which they hold over
the GOALS 1t is used when the house is
entirely open.
The houses. as every one knows, are
built of thin, light wood, and the slid
ing panels which serve for doors and
windows have paper panes. They are
as apt to be open as closed during the
day. The coolies wear thin blue cotton
clothes and are always padding
through the mud. The storekeepers sit
out in their open booths, and the wom-
Ell go bareheaded about the streets. In
the houses Of the rich the still cold be-
hind the closed panels is often more
intense than that outside in the sun
shine, where the air is stirring.

On one occasion, when Won Bulow
had to conduct an orchestral concert
at which piece written by an aristo-

pencils, which he handed to the mem

his intentions in their parts. as he
would give them by word of mouth.

There are two sure ways of telling
the difference between wholesome
mushrooms and the poisonous fungi
which so closely resemble them. If they
are to be boilcd, put an onion with
them, and If the onion remains white
there is nothing to fear. If it turns
black, throw away the contents of the
dish, for poison turks there. A common
test is to sprinkle a little salt on the
pink underpart, and If it turns black
you have real mushrooms. If the pink
changes to yellow, you have danger
signal before. If precautions like these
were taken with all mushrooms, fresh
or canned. there would be less sickness
in the world.

men cheered, and his speech became
the keynote for the hard times ahead.
A few days later Rosecrans rode out
to the rear, where the enemy was
threatening to raid his communica-
tons with Louisville. Coming to a
ford over the Cumberland, which was
very important, he said to the officer in
command of the guard, Colonel, can
you hold this ford?"
81 can try, sir" was the response.
Colonel, can you hold this ford?"
repeated the chief warmly.
Il will die before l give it up, sir
Colonel, can you hold this ford?"
persisted the general sharply.
Eyes, sir"
THAT will do" said Rosecrans and
went his way along the lines.
Rosecrans organized his army for
fighting machine. The post of honor in
the center was given to Thomas, an
act of prescience, it might seem, but
really only stroke of good judgment
Thomas had not done very much fight
ing because he hadn't had chance,
but his face showed that he was the
man to stand like a rock in battle. The
wisdom of the choice was quickly
proved. for on two critical occasions
the center under the stubborn old war
rior saved the day for Rosecrans.
The right wing of the army was CIV
en- to General Alexander Mcdowell
McCook, brilliant but unlucky fight
er. McCook had won laurels at Shiloh
and in numerous other affairs, but his
corps was involved in the disaster at
Perryville the 8th of October. The i'll
fortune at Perryville was not due to
McCook's blunder, but to battlefield
luck, and ii was only fair to the gal
liant soldier to give him another chance
in command of wing of the army
McCook's brother, General Robert l..
McCook, had been killed during the
Kentucky invasion. and his uncle and
father, together with several brothers
and cousins, were serving in the Fed
eral camps.
For leader of the left wing Rose
Grams chose General Thomas l.. Crit
tenden, the noted Kentuckian. Among
his own people Crittenden was known
as Tom, for the family was large and
sent out more than one soldier. Gener-
George b. Crittenden, younger
brother of Tom, went with the south.
and it was his army which Thomas de-
feated at Mill Springs, KY, in Janu-

A curious postscript was once added
to a letter by General Israel Putnam.
A spy named Palmer, sent by Sir Hen
ry Clinton, the British commander, had
been detected furtively collecting infor-
nation of the force and condition of the
post at Peekskill and had undergone a
military trial. A vessel of war came up
the Hudson in all haste and landed a
flag of truce at Verplanck's point, by
which a message was transmitted to
Putnam from Clinton claiming the said
Palmer as lieutenant in the British
service. Putnam replied:
Headquarters. Aug. T. Ill.,
Edward Palmer. an officer In the enc
mys service, was taken as a spy lurking
within our lines. He has been tried as a
spy and shall be executed as spy. and
the flag is ordered to depart Immediately

airy, 1862. Like McCook, Tom Critten-
den had fought at Shiloh and earned
his spurs as commander of troops.
One of the division officers in the
new army was an experiment as Il
leader of infantry troops. This was
Phil Sheridan, who had seen the edge
OF the battle at Perryville, but little
more. Sheridan had been in the field
only a few months. His first command
was regiment of cavalry stationed on
Grants outposts in Mississippi beyond
Corinth, and his first affair at arms not
more than n shirmish. One day the
Confederates attacked Sheridans line
at Rienzi, and lie made such Il brilliant
fight that word was sent to Washing
ton that he ought to be given bri-
gade Gle is worth his weight in
gold" the dispatch said. He was Civ
en- division of infantry and did his
first hard fighting in the Army of the
Cumberland under Rosecrans. That
army in the fall of 1862 set its face
southwark. never to turn back until it
had recovered Tennessee and con-
quered Georgia.
