TELEPHONE HABITS.

Differences Of Business Customs In
Various Communities.
In the offices Of the great telephone
companies statistics are kept from
which charts are plotted showing how
the telephone is used in the different
exchanges at different hours of the
day. The convenient talking instru-
ment is very little employed in early
morning or late in the evening, but
during the working day the rise and
fall Of the curves that represent the
fluctuation In the number of calls
makes an entertaining study.
Among many other facts these plot
ted curves reveal the great differences
that exist in the business customs for
example. of the charts of the Broad
street exchange, New York, and the
main exchange, Chicago, on almost any
given date will prove. what is generally
known, perhaps, that Chicagoans put
in a longer If not more strenuous day
than New Workers. The traffic curve"
rise about o'clock and reaches its
forenoon maximum of calls about 8
The load" as 1t is designated by the
telephone engineers, stays heavy
through the morning hours, dropping
at about l to the noon minimum. which
is universal, and then mounting well
up again through the afternoon until
s. after which 1t falls rather gradually
till 8 o'clock.
A characteristic curve of the great
downtown New York exchange, which
includes about all the offices Of the
Wall street district. reveals that busi-
ness men in Gotham go to their Offices
a full hour later than In Chicago. The
highest peak Is reached at 10 o'clock
The noon hour apparently begins lit
tie earlier than in Chicago, though the
lowest point Of the noon depression Is
reached at exactly the same time.
Evidently more New Workers go home
shortly after luncheon, for the after
noon load is relative not so high In
New York as in Chicago. The curve
also drops more rapidly through the
afternoon, and at o'clock less busi-
ness Is being done by belated officials
than must be the case in the neigh
borhood of the Chicago main exchange
Such differences as exist between
New York and Chicago appear In the
curves Of other cities. In general 1t
may be said that the tendency In the
eastern cities Is toward shorter hours
than prevail In the west. Boston and
Washington very closely follow New
York in their telephone habits, while
the average days curve Of Cleveland
or Denver Is not far different from that
of Chicago.

COLLIE RECEIVERS THE CAT.

Friend of His Youth.

several years and had fought each

After the family reached their new
home the collie was evidently lone

gathered about the open fire some re-
marks were made about this and the
man Of the house, patting the collie
on the head, said: 81 am sorry that
we did not bring George with US.
You miss your old playmate, don't
you?" The next morning the collie
had disappeared. Three days after

great state of enjoyment, indicated

George, the cat. Both seemed some

marks Of battle. Each seemed great

other, and the old-time status quo
was at once resumed.
Out Of curiosity inquiry was made
by the family, both at their old resi-

Don't believe he had anything to

Kennard stared at the speaker In
amazement. "Why, 7 understood" he
began, and then paused and continued
staring atMaddox's imperturbable face,

"Was put in her name by her father

That's what everybody believed, and

Kennard started perceptibly, but
looked straight before him as he spoke.

slowly. "She is to marry?"
He tried to speak unconcernedly, but
turned impulsively to his companion as
he put the question. Dawes face was
gravity itself.

calmly. Some day, when the right

Mr.. Trundell smiled sneeringly as he
gave the answer.
Thanks for informing me Of your
cheerful intentions before the polls

moved toward the door.

The room was hushed to breathless

Leslie seated herself with quiet self
possession.

back OF the room. Maddox could not
repress a smile, but he shook his head

down upper Broadway, one rubber
tired wheel in the groove of the car
rail and the other teetering on the
fringe Of granite paving. With series
of bumps, plunges. and hops 1t hurdled
across Long Acres tangle Of tracks,
slowed itself onto the asphalt triangle,
and slipped quietly along like ship
behind a breakwater after weathering
the storm. Beyond, as far as the eye
could reach, stretched the great high
way of the city-a huge artery throb-
bing with feverish, eXhausting move
ment in response TO the fluttered
heart beat of Titan-a mighty stream
flowing rapidly and ceaselessly. with
cross currents forming and disappear
ing at every fresh impulse.

Kennard asked the question musing-
ly, and Maddox did not answer until
his companion turned TO him inquir-
ingly.

don't believe It ever stops"
Kennard leaned back on the cushions
wearily.
That's the hopeless side Of II all"
he murmured, as though talking to
himself 1T never stops-it never
stops. All this din and scrambllng
haste must go on, day in and out, for
endless days and nights. That's what
crushes."
He paused and watched the restless,
nervous scene before him with alb
sorbed attention.
at may sound ridiculous to you,
Dave" he continued after moment.
but this whole city is as foreign to me
to-day as though I'd been out OF the
country for a. matter of years, instead
of in an uptown hospital for matter
of weeks"
Maddox nodded comprehendingly.
Has the jolting bothered you much,
old man." he asked anXiously.
Not very much. think the city
will come back to me, and to it more
easily this way. To be shaken before
taken, you know. Perhaps this is just
what | need to make me feel at home
again, for I'm sadly out of my bear
ings. Either I'm sick man looking at
things with sick mans eyes. or else
I'm seeing them as they really are for
the first time. Certainly | never felt
until to-day the awfulness of this city.
It's terrifying, Dave, it's positively ter
rifying in the ceaseless grinding OF its
wheels and the needless torrent OF its
grist There's something horrible in
the cold, hard, cruel mechanism Of 1t
ALL"
Don't try to familiarize yourself too
rapidly. If my advice had been fol-
lowed, you wouldn't be down here at
all to-day"
1T won't do me any harm. AS a
matter of fact, | ought to have come
before. The new board Of directors
should get to work at the earliest pos
sible moment"
Il like that Just as though we
hadn't been as busy as bees for the
past month or more. Isn't the strike
settled and everything running
smoothly again? And yet the presi-
dent sits in his hanson cab and says
it's time for the new board to get TO
work! There's egotism for you!"
you've done splendidly, admit it.
But don't want your work to go for
nothing. You remem her what we were
talking of the other ight?"

Neither honor nor praise was bestowed
upon him in his lifetime. Twice SEN
tence OF death was passed upon h!cc,.
Even his friends. among whom were
Garibaldi, regarded him as a Utopian
and theorist, calling his various pro-
jects wild Mazzinian dreams" Today
the people know that without him Italy
could not have been.
To the last he was an uncompromis-
Ing advocate Of republican rule and re-
fused to- take the oath of allegiance to
the new king. In 1870 he was arrested.
charged with conspiracy to found a
Sicilian republic, but was released and
to- Lugano to publish paper. He died
March 10, 1872, under an assumed name
at the house of a friend at, Pisa, and
was buried in the Campo Santo at
Genoa, where a statue has been erected
to his memory.
Joseph Mazzini was u dreamer, but
out of the fabric Of his dream was
butlded a nation. He was impractical,
but his agitation gave freedom to peo-
pie. The laurel which was denied his
brow has been placed upon his grave,
and his name is now written among
those who have made the world better
because they lived.
When he was dead the Italian parlia-
ment, to which he had been elected, but
refused his seat because he would not
take an oath to a king, by unani-
nous vote expressed the sorrow of the
people. The president of the body in
eloquent eulogy praised him as one who
had dedicated his life ungrudgingly to
tho cause Of his country's freedom.

such cases are not common, any more
than cows that are profitable at
twenty years old, or horses at thirty.
I'VE think n eve that is four or
five years old has at least reached
her prime, and while she may still
raise a good lamb. she begins to de-
crease in amount of wool, and is more
liable to sickness because of lack
OF vigor. and needs more careful feed

buy five-year-old sheep at any price,
and we would not do 1t ourselves MI
less we bought them SO cheap that the
lambs next spring would be worth
all the flock cost us. Nor would we
keep one until that age unless she
was valuable as breeder and seemed
to retain vigor enough to give good
fleece each year. You would be likely
to do better in paying higher price

Color. of the Sea.

Sea colors are generally unstable.
The beautiful sea-plants that tempt us
Il the rock pools along the shore lose
heir brillianey when taken from the
water. The dying dolphin shows all
the colors of pearls or opals, coming
and going OH his shimmering side. The
sea itself is charlottesville in its
changing hues. One who has ever sat
upon the shore and watched the col.
iors coming and going upon Its sur
face will find it hard to tell whit is
the color of the sea. AS rule, bright
green indicates shoal water, the lIpht.
er the tint the more shallow the depth.
Dark blue water is a sign of great
depth. But even blue water at dis
tance takes on dark green hue.
Careful observations have shown that
even IN the deepest water the basal
color is some tint of green. In our
own experience we have observed that
when the lead was thrown in mid
ocean, where the surface color was
blue. the plunge revealed flash of
brilliant green in the opening water.
