Phonoqraph Takes 'Phone Calls.

A man up town whose business
takes him much from home, but whose
business communications come to the
house, has made an odd combination
of the telephone and photograph. His
wife speaks little or no English, but
can manage to answer the phone calls
in his absence. AS soon as she has
learned the name of the speaker at
the other end of the wire she starts
monograph and, requesting the caller
to leave a message, thrusts the re-
ceiver close into the bell of the phon-
ograph horn. The record is faint but
ineligible, and obviates the necessity
of having small boy who speaks
English in attendance at the house.
That same photograph probably
registers more odd tongues than any
similar instrument in New York The
owner has polyglot acquaintance and
a fad of having his friends talk into
the machine In a single evening 1t
has registered French, German, Greek,
Hungarian, Russian, Spanish, Japan
csc and Italian speeches and songs,
and he has collection of more than
fifty tongues and patois.-New York

MINERS CARRY GREAT WEIGHTS

Strength of chiIeans Sustained With
out Meat Diet.
Perhaps the greatest weights borne
for any distance are the loads of ore
brought up from the mines of the An
des by the miners of Chile.
Darwin visited a copper nl1ce In
ravine leading from the main range OF
the Cordilleras, where the work was
carried on by such primitive means
that, though the mines had been
worked in the mountains for at least
two centuries, the water was removed
in some by carrying it up shafts in
leather bags on mems backs.
Sir Francis Head, when visiting d
similar mine, found that all the ore
was carried up to the surface, YER
teal climb of $50 feet, by the miners,
and that the average weight carried
was $50 pounds. This load was not
carried up a winding stair, but up
notched trunks of trees, set almost
upright, one touching another.
The food of the Chilean miner, ac-
cording to Darwin, consisted of rations
of sixteen figs and two small loaves OF
bread for breakfast; for dinner boiled
beans; for supper wheat crushed and
| roasted. They scarcely ever tasted
meat.

When Secretary Taft was civil gov
ernor of the Philippines his health was
sadly undermined. He was laboring
under great responsibility in govern
ing the archipelago, where conditions
were yet so disturbed as to give Sec
rotary Root and President Roosevelt
much concern. Mr.. Root therefore e
uuested Judge Taft to keep him ad-
yised by the new Pacific cable as to
the state of his health. One day this
message came to Mr.. Root from Gov.
Taft at Benguet, in the mountains
near Manila:

Mr.. Root chuckled and doubled with
mirth in the chair which Secretary
Taft has since discarded as too small

She Declined the Seat.

George was a well behaved little
boy. He had been especially taught
by his father to be polite to ladies
and in a crowded car always to give
ND his seat to one of the gentle sex.
regardless of age, social condition and
good looks On Subway car last Sun
day papa had an unlooked-for and en-
barrassing illustration of how well
George had learned his lesson. The
car was crowded, but George had pre-
empted a seat. A handsome young
lady entered at one of the stations at
which the train stopped. There was
not a vacant seat.
..Take nv seat, ma'am,' said little
George. as he DOTTED his cap.
She didn't take the seat. She look
ed fierce enough to box his ears, and
the passengers had to laugh In spite
of her modification. George was sit
ting ON papa's lap when he so gallant
ly offered to give up his seat to the
pretty young lady.-Exchange.

Independence for Norway.

The family and the friends of Ibsen
having decided to publish Ibsen's cor
respondence with the leading literary
men of his time, we get in the French
reviews two interesting series of these
unpublished letters, says the Review
of Reviews. Among the most i'm
portant are those to Bjornstjerne
Bjornson, now published in La Revue.
They cover the years 1S65-67, when
1SS4-S5. In the first letter from Rome,
dated Jan. 25, 1865, Ibsen is concerned
about the independence of Norway.
He says: when you write, give me
your opinion of home affairs. What
course ought to be followed in Nor
way? What can the leaders do with
the present generation? You will re-
assure me. 1 do not forget that you
are full of hope, but 1 should be happy
to know on what your confidence is
based. 1t often seems unlikely to me
that we shall disappear. I state may
be destroyed, but not a nation.
But even if we do lose our independ
epce and have our territories taken
from us, we shall still exist as a ma
ton. The Jews were state and
nation The state is destroyed, bu,
I believe that all that is best in us
will continue to be, provided that the
national soul is strong enough to grow
under misfortune. All! if l only had
faith, confidence!"

Singing for photograph seems to be
as high-paid musical exercise as there
is. A photograph company has offered
a prima donna, who sings at the Met
ropolitan opera house this winter, $14,-

a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.

since Faxon, on his way afoot from
his school to dine with Haines and his
daughter, had heard high words from
a clump of trees near the creek by the
roadside-words, followed by the re-
port of a gun. He had distinguished
the voices but, being of a timid ma

the farm house, not pausing to in

clergyman f1oundered around for sew
eral minutes without observing any
sign of scuffle. Suddenly he heard
a voice and, guided by the sound,
soon came upon Dora Haines kneeling
beside the PROSTATE form of man.
Dora appeared not to notice Faxon
who as soon as his eyes fell upon his
rivals face against the girls heart,
cried out:
How can you, Dora? He is felon
he who forged old man Cotton s
name-the man whose arrest is worth
five hundred dollars"
Dora turned upon him with scorn
in her beautiful eyes. He is inno-
cent?" she cried. Barker stirred and
the farmers daughter again gave~him
her attention, calling him by endearing
names-names the Reverend Faxon
had never before heard from her
lips. A sigh escaped Dora's lover and
suddenly he sat up, looking longingly
