WOES OF THE TELEPHONE GIRL
Troubles of the Most-TaIIScd-to Per

uDAeS Oh hhe NoSt-IalAScd-tO Per

The Central" which we all know. but
have never seen. the girl who answers
the telephone bell md gives you the num-
Der you desire. fills perhaps one Of the
most aggrayating positions in existence.
The work Of simply answering a call
and giving the proper number is in itself
not so much TO be complained Of. It is the
telephone user who rings the telephone
bell and does not know the number he
wants who makes the work
Central" has other things 10 do besides
memcrize the telephone book. and she
simply tells the caller to get the num-
Der from the book. But the man at the
end Of the line becomes greatly aggra-
waited When he finds the number in the
book he gives the bell another terrific
yank. and asks for his number again
Another thing which gives Central" no
end OF trouble is the man who PUSHES into
pay station and calls up on the teie
phone. Central gives the man his num-
Der, and says. in the most delicate man
ner possible. Drop in your dime. please"
The man mumbles something unintelligi-
bic, and then shouts to Central. Z
haven't got any change; wait until / get
some He drops the receiver and goes
10 the counter In the store 10 get some
change, and then goes back 10 the phone,
and Central" has TO get the man his
number again.
Then there is the person who thinks
the telephone switchboard is a bureau OF
information. II there is an alarm Of fire
turned in he rushes 10 the telephone
calls Central" and demands 20 know
where the FIRE is. Central" If she did
know, would break a rule in telling him.
The company forbids The girls holding
any conversation whatever. The reason
for this is that the Central must give
I her undivided attention to her switches.
otherwise the customers Of the telephone
company would get worse service than
they do now
Then there Is the newly married girl
whose husband has had a telephone put in
at the residence. that they may talk to-
gether while he Is at the Office. She goes
to the phone and asks Central" to
please let her talk TO her husband
Now, Central has never heard Of OF
seen the young lady's husband but when
she Informs the young lady she is
called all kinds Of naughty names.
By the time Central has finished her
trick OF duty OF eight or ten hours a day
answering twenty TO forty calls minute
you may rest assured that she is ready
TO 20 home and rest.

TRADE IN NICARAGUA.

Flour and Wine LuXuries and hcro-
sene OIL the Only IIIuminant-
Mr. Chester Donaldson. United States
Consul at Managua. Nicaragua. writes,
under date OF December 8, 1901
During the last six months there has
been large decrease in the importations
Of -four. wine. and machinery from the
United States
There has also been large decrease
in the expectation Of coffee-the principal
crop Of export-owing 10 the bad crop Of
last year. This. rather than the cOmpe-
tition of any other country is the cause
Of the diminished importations OF the ar
tieles above named There has been no
perceptibIe change in the importaJions or
expectations OF other articles, with The
exception OF sugar.
Exchange on the United states. which
has averaged during this period about 300
per cent premium. and the hard times
caused by short crops have made it nee
essary 70 economic; and as most Of
the machinery imported into the country
IS for cleaning and improving coffee. the
planters have stopped importing until
they get a good crop.
Flour. as well as wine. is considered
by a large majority Of the population
luxury and not the STAFF Of life. The
natives readily subsisJ on plantai1s. rice,
beans. and tortillas (cIkes made Of corn
and drink rum made from sugar cane.
They eat bread made Of wheat flour and
drink wine only when they are doing
prosperous business. Nicaragua generally
produces about half the quantity Of rice
consumed IN the country, but this year
owing 10 a short crop at home. the i'm
pOrtation Of this one OF the principal ar
ticles Of diet. has slightly increased. Most
CT the beans and all the corn consumed
are raised in the country.
Kerosene Oil which is stilI the only
material used for lighting houses or
streets, and other necessary articles have
been imported in about the same quanti-
ties as last year.
Consul Donaldson. under date Of Deem
Der a. 1901, reports that during the last
twelve months Nicaragua has exported
over I GOO 600 pounds Of cane sugar mot
refined or this amount over 1000 600
pounds were sent 10 the United States and
about 900 00o pounds 10 Vancouver. Brit
ish Columbia. Nearly all. says the con
sui, was produced in the departments of
Chinandega and Leon and exported from
the port of COrintO. Sugar is also pro-
duced IN the departments OF Mana qua,
Granada. Riyas. Carazo. and Chontales.
but not enough for local consumption.
-Four years ago the production OF sugar
In Nicaragua was less than half the home
consumption Two years ago the produc-
tiOn exceeded the consumption by about
loco. 600 pounds, and since then the pro-
duction has increased over 300 per cent
