a process of tuning, and makes it
possible for two operators to work.

1t is becoming apparent to tho
farmer that the telephone is not an
expense as he has hitherto believed
u a saving, perhaps of a life in H.
ness, perhaps of help when food n,
nre comes or something else.
The great benefits of a telephoro
to a farming community can hardly
be exaggerated.
1t is n of the greatest time saw.
ers " invented.
Modern business methods wou,d
become antique without its use.
1t enlivens social intercourse and
makes. neighbors of and dement's
friendship between families liyiny
miles apart. .
A farmer with a phone does mt
have to go to the nearest market IN
find the price of various agricultural
products. Neither is it necessary for
him to blindly send his products tn
market only to find prices at a low
level.
To the farmers wife the phone il
a friend that does not fail. The in.
convenience of marketing and shoU-
ping is done away with. To her it IA
an all-round necessity as we'll as an
aid to social enlivenment.

Linked Eyebrows.


 It is popularly believed that if ones eyebrows meet 1t indicates deceit. Charles Kingsley indorses this belief, but Tennyson has other ideas and poetically speaks of married brows." :"
 Tn Turkey meeting eyebrows are greatly admired. and the women use artificial means to bring the brows to this condition, and if art cannot in duce thin eyebrows to grow they make up by drawing black line with paste.
 It would appear that the Greeks ad- mired brows which almost met, and the fashionable inhabitants of Rome not only approved of them, but re- sorted to pigments to make up the lack which sometimes existed.
 Some proverbs state that the person whose eyebrows meet will always have good luck, while others state ex- actly the reverse. The Chinese say that people whose eyebrows meet can never hope to attain to the dig nifty of minister of state," and in Greece of today the man whose brows meet is said to be a vampire, while in Denmark and Germany it Is said he is a werewolf-London Standard

How the Insects Work When They
 Are Collecting Honey.

How the Insects Work When They Are Collecting Honey.
 Upon the approach of a bee to any flower it flies around the calyx almost always before alighting upon the flow CT itself. This is a cursory eXamina- tion, and with its antennae out stretched and quivering 1t is evidently scenting the honey contained within.
 Should this prove a fruitful flower and of the flavor required the bee set ties on the center of the stamen and, clutching 1t with its four front legs, steadies itself with its longer out stretched two hindermost ones and withdraws the nectar by its prOboscis, the wings of the body assuming a vibratory motion the while.
 The bees ppoboscis is most impor- tant instrument 1t is composed of about forty cartilaginous rings, each of which is fringed with minute hairs, having also a small tuft of hair at its extremity, where it is somewhat ser rated. Its movement is like the trunk of an elephant and Is susceptible of extension and contraction, bending and twisting in all directions. Thus, by rolling it about, 1t searches out the calyx, pistil and stamen of every flow CT and deposits its nectar. upon the tongue, whence it passes into the gull let at the base.
 The gullet, or first stomach, is the honey bag. No digestion takes place here In shape it is like an oil flask and when full contains about one grain. It is susceptible of contraction and is so arranged as to enable the insect to disgorge it's contents into the cells of the hfve.-.Philadelphia North American

ANCIENT ROME.
e Could Not Compare In splendor
 With Some Modern CapitaIs.

With Some Modern Capitals.
 Rome, even in the times of its great est splendor, was poor in comparison with the modern world. Even in the second century after Christ, when 1t stood as metropolis at the head of an immense empire, Rome was smaller, less wealthy, less imposing than a great metropolis of Europe or of Amer lea. Some sumptuous public edif1ces, beautiful private houses-that is all the splendor of the metropolis of the empire.
 Moreover, the palaces of the Caesars on the Palatine are a grandiose ruin that stirs the artist and makes the philosopher think, but if one sets him. self to measure them, to conjecture from the remains the proportions of the entire edifices, he does not conjure up buildings that rival large modern construction. The palace of Tiberius, for example, rose above a street only two meters wide, less than seven feet, an alley like those where today in Italian cities live only the most miser- able inhabitants. We have pictured 70 ourselves the 1uperldl OduquSlS o4 ancient Rome as functions of unheard of splendor; If Nero or Elagabalus could came to life and see the dining room of a great hotel in Paris or New York, resplendent with light, with crystal, with silver, he would admire 1t as far more beautiful than the halls in which he gave his imperial feasts. Think how poor were the ancients in artificial light! They had few wines; they knew neither tea nor coffee nor cocoa, neither tobacco nor the in- numerable liqueurs of which we make use. Tn face of our habits they were always Spartan, even when they vast ed, because they lacked the means to squander-Guglielmo Ferrero in Put nnm'a.

Maoe over Prescriptions,

"There is one loss sustained by drug gists that very few people know about" said the experienced clerk. That is in the prescriptions that have to be made over, the same as clerks, stenographers, writers and artists, no matter how painstaking, frequently have to do their work over. The most careful drug clerk in existence is bound to make mistakes sometimes in meas uring and mixing. He may pour in too much of some kind of liquid or sift in too much of certain powder. In most cases the overdose would not real ly affect the value of the medicine, but the conscientious clerk isn't going to take any chances on murdering any body. so he throws away the whole mixture and makes up another pre- scription. ."-New York Globe

The Bread and Pipe Baker.

The lecturer at the cooking school sometimes enlivened her remarks with an anecdote.
 "The eighteenth century baker," she said, was pipe. cleaner as well, just as the barber a little. earlier was a surgeon. Everybody in those days smoked clay pipes, provided, the same as cups or spoons, by, the coffee houses. Well, each morning a waiter carried his masters stock of pipes s-some hun dred perhaps-to the nearest bakery. The baker would boil them out, then dip them in liquid lime,. then. bake them dry. They came out of the oven as sweet and white as new."-New Orleans imes-Democrat.

 What has the newsboy concealed in his hand?
 The newsboy has a cigarette butt in his hand. He saw 1t smoking in the gutter and was afraid it would set fire to the street, so he picked 1t up. Good little newsboy, you will be a fire chief some day!
 Did ever you try a trick on the newsboy?
 Give him a nickel some time for your paper and tell him to keep the change. Ten chances to one he will do it.

History In July.

In at least four countries perhaps the most important event in their histories was recorded in July-namely, the es- tablishment of their independence. In our own history we have the memora, ble Fourth of July, while the patriotic efforts of the liberator Simon Bolivar for the independence of Venezuela were consummated on July 5, Colombia ridding herself of the Spanish yoke on July 20. Then there Is France, with her July 14, marking the date when the suffering French people stormed the famed and fearsome Bastille. The Spanish forces at Santiago, Cuba, ca pitulated on July 16.

Menu of an African Hunting Party
 In addition to the groceries and can ned provisions carried in their outfits the hunters in East Africa depend for fresh provisions on their guns. Water buck, zebra and elephant are said to be tough eating and are mostly par taken of by the native porters, who keep elephant meat till it is quite high and gamy. Bland tastes like. the best American beef; Orynx. impafa and all gaZelles are edible and tender, but the delicacies of the East African ProtectO- rate are the klipspringer and the 'dik- dix gazelles.
