RELIGION APPLIED.
How FourYear-oId Profited by Re

From Harper's Weekly.
 A small four-year-old Is at the present time being dutifully instructed by her mother in the rudimentary doctrines, mysteries, and hopelesly puzzling ethics of religion. The youthful devotee listens with rapt attention, but subsequent appli- cation of these teachings Is decidedly startling
 A few days ago, when with infinite la borousness, she was printing a letter to her fond and adoring grand mother. she wound up her epistle as follows: That s all. l must stop now. For Jesus sake. Amen.'
 Not long after, her mother heard her talking away at great way to heI dollies, lavishng a notable amount oi attention upon the cold black "Dinah T that ragged, battered, and altogether dis reputable as she Is, is nevertheless, the pride of the child's heart

Trades Council Press Agent corrects
 Mistake He Made In Reporting fiynn'

As the meetings of the Trades Council are held in executive session the pro- ceedings are reported by the counci official press agent, Edward K. Smith. MT. Smith addresses the following letter to The Age-Herald covering part or ms report of last Sundays meeting
 To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Will YOU please correct in your valuable naper an error made by myself in my last report of the Birmingham Trades Councils proceedings of last Sunday, where, in quoting Mir. Ed Flynn, said:
 He said the struggle was not now for a wage scale; that the Republic Iron and Steel company had let the cat out of the bag by posting notices that they would pay 55 cents per ton under the open shop plan. which MT. Flynn described as being the closest shop he ever heard of. In looking oyer my notes l find in- advertently missquoted MT. Flynn, caus- ing him, as quoted, to missrepresent matters as they stand.
 He said the struggle was not now for a wage scale; that the Republic Iron and Steel company had let the cat out of the bag by posting notices that they would pay 471s cents per ton under the open shop plan, which MT. Flynn described as being the closest shop he even heard of, saying the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Rail- road company were advocating an open shop which would prove to be the vilest of closed shops, from the fact they had an iron-clad contract which they com pelled every one working for them to sign certifying that they, the working men. were not members of any union. nor would they join one while working for their company, thereby creating a closed shop in their mines as far as union man was oncerned.

Love's Labor Lost.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 A Philadelphian recently gave break fast in John Philip Sousas honor. As the breakfast begansa stringed orchestra struck up, and MT Sousa said with a smile:
 This music, striking up just now. re- minds me of something that happened on the frontier a year ago.
 "A noted European soldier was snend- ing several weeks on the frontier study ing certain military questions there. and whenever he dined at headquarters the regimental band, to show It's respect for him, voluntarily played
 Day after day the foreigner messed with the officers, and day after day. as soon as he sat down, the admiring band hurried to it's place and began to toot.
 These little attentions the band master went around explaining, are what foreign officers of rank like. They are used to them at home, and if they didn't t get them here they'd feel that they were being slighted.'
 One evening as the band was playing with great industry in the foreigner s honor, the old man, at the end of a rous- Ing march, suddenly uttered an oath that resounded through tl.e room.
 Perdition take that bandi' he ex- claimed in a thunderous voice. It al- ways begins its noise jn,t at the time I'm sitting down to dinner and want to talk

SEEING TELEPHONE.
Arrangements by Which Speakers Will
 Be Visible.

Portland (Ore) Cor. Plttsburg Gazette.
 A telephone arrangement by which those speaking may also see the face of the person at tte other end of the line has been invented by a Portland man, J. B. Fowler. Ever since 1876 Fowler has been working upon a device by which two persons at distance might see one an others features. Two months ago he hit upon the idea which, followed out, has resulted in the apparatus exhibited by him today for the first time.
 How far 1t will be possible to see faces over the wire must yet be ascertained for Fowler has kept the entire line within his own residence. To the observer there ap- pears an apparatus much resembling the front of a large camera. There Is also a telephonic transmtter. To see over the wire one puts his eyes to the tube which corresponds to the lens of a camera.
 Miss Lillian Fowler went to the other end of the wire, 25 feet away, in another room and any reflection by mirrors was out of the question The face showed up as distinct and clear as a miniature paint ing As she spoke her lips were seen to move, The observer was in darkness that he might see the more clearly. Fowler has not yet doubled his apparatus so that both persons may observe one another as they speak. He believes that this can be easily done.

To Live in Peace.

From the Kansas City World.
 A woman may accept a man in haste. but man chooses his wife at leisure. It is to be supposed that when a man asks a woman to marry him he has decided that he cannot live without her. If he can't live without her 1t Is certainly his duty to do his best to live with her. This is not always so easy as 1t sounds. Here are few simple rules for the wise hus- band:
 If your wife frowns at you smile at her. If she smiles at you laugh with her. If she is angry soothe her.
 If she is gracious thank her.
 If she is wise praise her.
 If she is economical commend her. If she is extravagant explain to her. If she sacrifices her pleasures for you be generous with her.
 If she is beautiful appreciate her. If she cooks well compliment her. If she is lonely stay at home with her. If she is tired tend her.
 If she doubts you be frank with her If she grieves be tender with her. If she is hyterical ignore her.
 If she is fighty be firm with her.
 If she deceives you be harsh with her. If she is saucy kiss her.
 If she is good adore her.

Campaign Expenses.

From Harper's Weekly.
 For printing and stationery alone it is calculated that each of the national campaign committees will spend $500. 900. Of the scores of millions of documents sent out a great many are franked but to distribute the residue requires huge outlay for postage. Extremely expensive also is the house-to-house canvass. which is made by each party early in September, and again about a fortnight before election day. Of course no such canvass is needed in any of the former slave states, except Delaware. Mary land, West Virginia and possibly Ken lucky. It would be equally superfiuous in Pennsylvania or Vermont. No other item of expenditure is comparable with the sum paid for campaign speeches. It Is expected that when the campaign Is fully under way no fewer than 5000 po- Iitical orators will be placed upon the stump by each of the national commit tees. As at least five times as many ''spellbinders" will be mustered by the state committees, the aggregate number of exhorters will not fall much short of 60,000. Some of the speakers receive s250 a week, together with their expenses, while others will accept no money for their services, but allow their actual dis- bursements to be made good.
