a Few Words About the Product Of
the Great Factory. THE TALK 49,
>'>>~:.@ o-PH0NE. - e
This machine is q superior type Of the
disc reproducer and up-to-date in every
particular. It Is made in various grades
and models, ranging in retail price from
$500 to $4,000 each. & In addition to all
such desirable features as multiple springs
to give it long running power and permit
winding while in operation; governor con-
troll to increase or, decrease speed, thereby
raising or lowering key: taper arm with
revolving horn; the Talk-OPhone also
has the MECHANICAL FEED. device
which moves the reproducer across the
record Independent of the scratching of
the needle. This wonderful new device
renders the New Taper Arm Talk-O Phone
a marvellous sound reproducer and a great
record saver.
Appreciating that the grating. grinding
noises Of all disc reproducing machines
are obnoxious, we have been experiment.
ing for the past year to perfect Talk-O-
Phone that would be entirely free from all
foreign sounds and only reproduce the
pure musical tones. We found that the
dragging of the needle in order to propel
the producer across the record was the
cause Of all the trouble. TO obyiate this
we invented the MECHANICAL FEED,
device to propel the reproducer across
the record entirely independent Of the
= needle. The marvellous, clear reproductions
resulting from this new device must be
heard to be appreciated. This, too, is
great record SAVER for there is no chance to
Scratch the needle across the record.
It will be observed that the New Talk
o-Phone operated on this principle gets
: entirely away from the old fundamental
principle Of reproducing machines, namely,
= the needle feed.
Our patents on this new device are very
broad, and this arrangement can not be
used on any other machine. We do not oper.
ate under any shop rights or license from
any one.

WhistIer's Airy Wit.

on one occasion dining with group
of friends in Paris restaurant. The
attention of the young men was
presently directed toward an Eng
ish family near them, of whom the
father was endeavoring in eXecrable
French to plan a dinner. Leaning
forward, Whistler, in his most
charming manner, inquired if he
could be of aid. The stranger drew
himself up with a manner of olfense
and haughtily replied, 81 assure you,

Starting the Asylum.

A very Jealous clergyman in one
of the far western states conceived
the idea of instituting founding
asylum in the city in which he was
laboring. He found an urgent need
for an institution of this kind and
then set about to discover the means
for realizing his ideal home for help
less offspring. A meeting of the
congregation was called and the
needs of such a place set forth in
eloquent language.
The congregation listened in 81
lence and did not seem responsive.
The clergyman became more fervid
than ever and then pointed out the
necessity of furnishing the means
for starting the institution. Still
there was no response, and then the
preacher determined to go straight
to the point. So, selecting partic-
ular parishioner, who was wealthy
and who happened to be a widower,
he exclaimed:
Brother. Jones, what will you
contribute toward starting this or
phan asylum? ?"
Brother Jones seemed dazed for a
moment at this unexpected thrust
and then, struggling to his feet, said
magnanimously:

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Hints For the Elimination of the Nos
quito Pest.

As all authorities are now agreed
that the mosquito is the transmitter
of both malaria and yellow fever, it
behooves the housewife to see that
her own premises are above re-
proach. As they are known to
breed in standing water, none
should be allowed to remain in tubs,
howerpots, barrels or vases longer
than forty-eight hours without
changing. All barrels, cisterns or
other recep'acles for rain water
should be tightly screened with net
ting so that no mosquito can enter
Chicken coops, kennels, watering
troughs for stock should be chang
ed daily. Back yards, with their ac
emulation of cans, tins, bottles
and other rubbish, should be cleaned
up and the trash buried. Rank veg
citation around wells should be de-
stroyed, as it furnishes hiding
places for the adult mosquito, and
no waste water should be thrown
out for surface drainage. Where
there is standing water that cannot
be screened or drained treat with
coal oil, one ounce of oil sut1icing to
cover fifteen square feet of surface.
An ordinary glassful answers for a
large cistern, as very slight film
of oil on the surface will clog the
breathing apparatus of the larvae
and cause death, while it in nowise
affects the water for ordinary pur-
poses.

String the RING.

The players seat themselves in a
circle (close together), cord or
rope is got, on which is placed a
ring, the rope being just long
enough for the players to reach
after the ends have been tied to-
gether.
The game is to put one of the
players in the center of the circle,
and he or she is to discover who has
the ring, he players working their
hands sideways on the rope and
passing the ring along when they
get a chance.
1t is very confusing if the play
ers happen to be wearing rings, and
the faster their hands go the more
fun there is.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Speed and Agility Win In Hen, Chick
ems and Hawk Game.

As many boys and girls as choose
may play in this game at one time.
One player is picked out to act as
hen. Another of the same size and
weight is selected to be the hawk.
The player representing the hen
puts red handkerchief around his
head if he can get one, or in the alb
sencc of such a thing he trusses his
coat up behind with a piece of
string to represent the short, perky
tail of IA hen. The player who rep
resents the hawk covers his head
with Il black or white handkerchief
and swings his arms during the
game 10 represent the hawks PIN
ions.
All the other players represent
chicks, and children of all ages may
join. All the chicks get behind the
hen, clustering just as chicks do IN
IA barnyard, and all keep their eyes
on the hawk.
He must approach the chicks to
try to carry off one at time. The
hen must try to head him off, which
ever way he may come. The chicks
must dodge the hawk in every posi-
bic way, but they must never try to
run from behind the shelter of the
hen.
The hawk naturally tries to 'cut
out" one of the chicks and chase it
away from the hen. Then the hen,
still trying to keep all the other
chicks behind her, tries to save the
fleeing chick by interposing. There
is lots of chance here for clever
tricks and swift play.
