---'s------ Slam der by TelephOme

A curious action for compensation, fin which, for the first time. the telephone appears as the medium of islander, has just been tried at Milan. The parties were Signor Venturini. 8 chemist, and Signor Guanbarotto, a bRrrister, who had acted as counsel for the former and, as his fee had not been paid, con- tinually called up by telephone his for mer client at his place of business to de- 3nand payment, in language declared to be abusive. When Signor venturini happened to be absent other persons frequently had to listen to the barris- ter,s angry language. The corut con- demned the unwary lawyer in damages. Golden F&NRy.

A TRAP FOR AUTHORS.
The Press Clipping Bureau Offers g
 New Road to Bankruptcy.

The Press Clipping Bureau Offers a
 New Road to Bankruptcy.
 A new terror has come to torment the egotist who subscribes to press clipping bureau. The magazines send out each month what is known as an editorial sheet, in which bits of infor- nation or quotations in assorted series are made ready for the editor who is not above the use of shears. Every newspaper gets one of these sheets and practically every one uses part of it. Hence the deluge.
 ''Thus," says Rupert Hughes. "t sold a sonnet to magazine some years ago, and last month it appeared. l. had been paid about a dollar line. Several editors, being desperate to fill some gap of exactly IA lines, clipped my sonnet. The press-clipping bureau clipped the clipping. The total charge for these was only a few dollars more than I got for the verses. In addition to this the magazine editors also sent out a. digest of the table of contents, in which my mere naked name was mentioned among the also writer's This digest was sent to 10000 news papers. Every one reprinted it. The press-clippers caught every reprint and sent me copy at the regular rate of five cents per clipping. Deducting the $14 I received for the sonnet, I have lost to date exactly $986-a heavy fine to pay even for such q poem. The worst of all is the irony of the fact that the sonnet was called Anonymous How I wish it had beenl''-Everybody's Magazine.

d SONG OF DUTY.

Sorrow comes and sorrow goes,
 Life is hecked with shine and shower Now the tear of grieving flows,
 Now we smile in happy hour; Death awaits us, every one
 Toiler, dreamer teacher, writer Let us then, %fe~1 be done,
 Make the world a little brighter! Burdens that our neighbors bear
 Easier let us try to make them; Chains, perhaps, our neighbors wear, Let us do our best to break them. From the straitened brain and mind Let us loose the binding fetter, Let us, as the Lord designed. Make the world a little better! Selfish breeding sears the soul,
 Makes the heart nest of sorrows, Gardening the shining goal
 Of the sun-illumined morrows; Wherefore should our lives be spent
 Daily growing blind and binder? Let ls, as the Master meant. -@ Make the world little kinder! Denis A. Mccarthy, in Good Counsel

LoCKJAW.

There are both interest and impor- tance in the issue which has been raised between Drs Connolly and Park, the hacteriologists of the Newark and the New York boards of health respec- lively, as to the origin of tetanus which so often follows the injuries inicted by toy pistols. Dr Connolly says that he has found the bacillus of lockjaw in blank cartridges now on sale; Dr Park, that exhaustive Investigations made by him two years ago revealed nothing of the sort, and that he remains uncon- vinced that the infection comes, not from the cartridge but from the frag- ments of skin, more or less covered with street dirt, which are invariably driven into these wounds. The ques- tion is evidently one of ascertainable fact, to be settled by experiment, not by argument, and so far as the public Is, concerned, there is no particular ne cessity to balance probabilities or au- thorities, since it is all one whence the infection comes as concerns its effects, and whether the source is the cartridge or the soiled integument, perfect safety lies only in abandoning the use of the dangerous toys. As for the treatment of the malady, when once acquired, there is no dispute among the doctors. They all advise the immediate and thorough opening of the wound, since the tetanus bacillus is f'anaerobic, 7 that is, it cannot develop the presence of free atmospheric oxygen, and they believe in the use of the anti-toxin- when it can be used before the distinc- tive symptoms of lockjaw appear. That the antitetanic serum will effect cure is now claimed by few, but it is much to preyent-Exchange.
