RECORDED AT BOTH ENDS
How the Business Man Kept Track Of
important Convers ion Over
the Telephone.

Chalk this down as new expert
ence for me-" said the business man
'The other day | had a telephone
call. The man at the wire wanted
to talk about a building contract.
The first thing he said was:
els your stenographer there?'
81 said she was.
"Well,' said he, will you have
her take down your part of the con-
versation? My stenographer is
right here, and will make a note of
everything / say
"In a kind of huff ] asked r
man if he was afraid would
back on my word unless it was down
in black and white.
"'Not at ALL said he. but this is
a custom of mine Everything | say
over the telephone is taken down by
my stenographer, and in matters Of
importance | like the other fellow to
do the same
"Of course | had no objection, so.
although it seemed a needless pre-
caution, the girl made note of my
disjointed sentences"

HOW TO CLEAN GLkSSWRn.;
Rinse with Cold Water ard
Polish with Leather.

Glass requires a good deal more
care than china. The best material
to use in cleaning it is fuller's
earth. This must be reduced to a
very fine powder, entirely freed from
any rough or hard bits which might
damage the polished surface of the
glass. The earth is put into the YES
sci to be washed; warm water is
poured upon it. After it has been
well shaken it is emptied out, cold
water being put to take its place.
This is a good thing to use for de-
canters and carafes, both of which
are difficult to clean. Another good
method for cleaning them is, after
having filled them about two-thirds
with warm (not hot) water, to put
in several soaped pieces of brown or
blotting paper, shake the decanters
well, then leave them for an hour or
so. Empty out the soapy water,
rinse several times with clean cold
water and invert them in a rack to
dry; when dry, polish the outsides
with a leather. The great secret by
which to keep glass clear and bright
is to use plenty of cold water for
rinsings, and always polish with
leather, not with cloth. Another
plan for cleaning decanters is to use
finely powdered charcoal instead of
soaped paper. If the insides of the
decanters are covered with crust
from wine a little muriatic acid
should be added to the water, which
should be left several hours standing
in the decanters. For cleaning long
necked decanters long-handled bot
tie brush must be kept.

HER DEAFNESS AN ADVANTAGE
Seems Peculiar Qualification for
Stenographer, But Lawyer Ex-
plains Why He Prefers 1t.

GIVE heard of pretty stenograph-
ers and ugly stenographers and all
sorts between" a downtown lawyer
said, ''but I've never heard of one
like NINE"
'What sort is sheer is it he %
inquired the friend with whom he
was talking.
''She's deaf"
deaf! What in the world can
you do with deaf stenographer?"
"Why, get along famously. And
I'll tell you there are times when
her deafness is mighty convenient.
If | want to, I can dictate to her at
the same time that I hold CONVEX
sation with some one else All l do
is to talk loudly and fairly slowly
to her and she gets on all right. I
drop my voice and increase the
speed, and she can't catch a word
edgewise when Pm talking to an
other. She is thorough and capable
and satisfactory in every way. More
people should know the advantages
of deaf stenographer."

SAW HER 1o4TH YEAR.

In certain rural districts in Eu-
ropean countries the custom prevails
of publicly celebrating the birthday
of the oldest inhabitant. The little
village of Salsus de Jura was en-
fete some few weeks ago on the oc-
0sion of the one hundred and
fourth anniversary of the birth of
Mile. Lise Bonavent. She was then
in full possession of her faculties
and made a charming little speech
to show her deep appreciation of the
compliment paid to her by the mu-
nicipality and inhabitants, who
brought her floral offerings. Her
death occurred two days later.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1910-06-10
HE WANTED TO KNOW.

John" she called as he was start
ing away, 81 wish you would stop at
the butchers and tell them to send
up nice porterhouse steak for din
ner this evening, and you might also
order three OF four pounds of bacon
and enough lamb chops for break
fast tomorrow morning, and, oh,
yes, step into the grocery and have
them send two dozen of eggs and a
couple of pounds of butter. Mary
wants them for this afternoon. She
is going to bake"
After he had succeeded in getting
his breath he asked:
"Say, has your father relented and
agreed to let us share his fortune"

TRAGEDY OF A HORSE.

Almost human intelligence is at
tributed to a horse which has just
died at Hanley, Staffordshire, Eng
land, apparently from a broken
heart. The animal, which belonged
to London railway company, al
ways resolutely refused to pull more
than its fair load of trucks. If
three trucks were coupled together it
would simply shake its head and re-
fuse to move, but when given its
proper load it would carefully draw
the wagons over the intricate points
without guidance. Recently the horse
was taken off its favorite work and
put to draw heavily laden dray to
the town. This must have broken
the animals heart, for on the jour
ney it collapsed and died where it
fell.

ENGLISH AS SHE is SPOKE.

Imagine after long search fol-

asperation-irnagine hearing ones

SWISS CREMATED HIMSELF,

A horrible story comes from Swift
zerland, where a woodcutter named
Ogay took his life in an extraordi-
nary manner. On hill in the cam
ton of Vaud, Ogay built a funeral
pile of dried wood and set a light
to it. When it was in flames he de-
iberately lay down on the flaming
pyre and was burned to death. When
the villagers, attracted by the fire,
arrived on the scene they found the
carbonized body Of the woodcutter
and his deathbed fiery furnace.
