TELEPHONE AND SURGERY.
Tells Operator When His Probe Comes
 in Contact with Bullet.

According to a London medical journal, several London hospital sur geons are now using the telephone whenever they have occasion to probe for bullets or other metallic objects imbedded in the body of a person. The receiver of the telephone is placed on the head of the operator, and the patient is placed in the usu- al manner, in contact with plate, the general medium employed being wet sponge or some paper saturated with a saline solution, which is spread over the plate. The latter is con- nected with telephone by wire, and the probe, after it has been in troduced into the body, vibrates as soon as the foreign metallic substance comes in contact with it. The probe is also connected with the telephone by wire, and thus no such blunder is possible as sometimes happens when an ordinary battery IS used. When telephone is used in this way, the plate acts as one pole and the probe as the other Needless bull lets, grains of shot and pieces of steel and copper have been easily located by use of this simple method. The only instances when the telephone does not work satisfactorily are when the objects to be located are of the same metal as the probe. French and German surgeons have been fol- lowing these experiments in London with the intention of introducing the same method into the hospitals of Berlin and Paris.-Scientifc American.

1TALY's OBSOLETE STAMPS.
Uncle Sam Reaps Rich Reward from
 Peculiar Postal Regulations,

As a result of somewhat peculiar postal regulation in Italy, the United States government is reaping some revenue on letters from that country improperly prepaid as to postage. No less than 600 letters were received by the Boston post office one day re- gently. It appears that after the death of King Humbert, about two years ago, postage stamps bearing his features were declared obsolete by the Italian government, and though the poor peasants may have paid out their hard-earned cents for the old issue, this is repudiated.
 A regulation of the international postal agreement provides that let ters bearing no postage will be trans mitted to their destination, and dou- ble the amount which it would have cost the sender for the proper postage shall be collected, before delivery. Some of these Italian letters bear the crude red penciled letter ''T " meaning tax, so marked by the Ital- ian postal authorities, and such, on being received in New York, were stamped by the neat machinery of the United States authorities, Que ten cents" But considerable propor- tion of these GOO letters bore no or" nor any postage due,'' although the only stamp affixed was of the repudiated issue. It looked as if some of the Italian postal clerks had been careless, because in a batch of let ters from Salerno half were marked '"T' and half came through without it.
 The New York post office had let all without the CT" pass without the postage due," and the Boston authorities decided to take similar action, and allow all such letters be delivered to the addresses without any additional stamp. The postal authorities here had no doubt as to their duty concerning all which were stamped postage due" letters. Clearly, the amount due must be col lected. They took the position, which seems quite rational, that they should follow the order of the origi- nal office through which the mail passed. This, in Boston, will give the Italian colony the benefit of the doubt, and ten cents is quite good deal to poor man. The Italian gov ernment is reaping no benefit in the case of this great number of letters sent to their citizens abroad. h. stead, the United States government is deriving the revenue of ten cents for each ''obsolete" stamp.-Boston Transcript.

RUNG UP HUSBANDS WAGES.
The Conductors Wife Makes q Fine Tissue Paper Lamp Shade with
 His Punch.

Mackenzie is conductor on an owl train on the ''L," consequently he does his sleeping in the daytime, says the Chicago Record-Herald.
 Now, as everyone. knows who has had occasion to use the elevated after '12 o'clock, the fares, after passing cer- tain points on the line, are collected by the conductors, who for the pur- pose of registration, carry the little bell punches once so familiar on the surface lines.
 One afternoon lately he was reused from his diurnal slumber by his indus trious little wife, who brought out for his admiration lamp shade made of colored tissue paper. She made it with her own pretty hands, and it's scalloped border was perforated with innumerable little holes, through !, which the light of the parlor lamp would fall on the table.
 "Tell me if you think it pretty" de handed Mrs. Mackenzie. holding the shade out for her husband to in- spect it.
 Tt looks lovely" began Mackenzie; :; but as he scrutinized it more closely he turned pale and said, hoarsely: "You made those holes with my bell punch"
 "Yes. dear" said his dear little wife blithely, while you were asleep. It was so convenient to punch holes with But what makes you speak that way?'' demanded the little woman, greatly alarmed at the sudden change which had come over the unfortunate Mac. kenzie.
 "Oh, nothing" he replied, "only you've rung up enough fares on that lamp shade to use up six months sal ary Every one of those holes will cost me five cents. that's all"
 And the unhappy Mackenzie, in the agony of his spirit groaned aloud.

William Dean Howells hasano consider able reputation as teller of humorous stories, but once in a while an excellent yarn is attributed to him. It was provoked by the action of young author who had been a protege of Howell's and who when he arrived" never lost an opportunity to say something nice of Howells. On one occasion the younger author made an ad- dress before body of literary men in which he. virtually asserted. that, every thing good and great in native literature owed it's inspiration to Howells. The ad- dress was printed far and wide and com mented on at length, not always in man ner complimentary to jas author. Mir. Howells' attention was naturally called to the matter and he wrote his protege a let ter in which he involved story of two men who, bathing at the seashore, were seen struggling and heard crying for help. A crowd gathered to watch the efforts of the life guards, who could hear above the roar of the ocean and the noise made by the crowd a voice believing: Save the red haired man. Save him first! The red haired man, sure Both men were saved and the guards, going after the excitable fellow on the beach in the hope af grat- uity, asked: "Red-head chap relation Q yours, sir" "No-no relative at all" he replied, "but he owes me Sl9"
