Best Way to Telephone.

when I telephone while sitting, as
customarily d." said woman who
telephones a good deal, II habitually
speak in a low tone, not very much
above a whisper; when telephone
standing up I don't shrek exactly, but
I find myself always speaking in a
loud tone. suppose thhe reason for
these things is simple enough. When
am sitting am comfortable and en-
tirely at ease bodily and inclined to
do things easily, and then can adjust
the telephone to exactly the most con
ven1ent height and angle and speak
into it quite without effort; it is all
very easy, whereas when l have to
stand at telephone some effort Is re-
quired in that I am more OF less rigid
to start with, and then the telephone
may be one fixed in position. l may
have to bend my face more or less up
or down to the transmitter, to stand
in a position more or less constrained,
and then when / come to speak I al
ways find myself, as you might say,
shouting into the telephone. 1t Is my
experience that make myself heard
more surely when sitting and tele-
phoning as do then, easily and in a
low tone"

Previous to his elevation to the SOW

formed friendship with some young
authors at that time in vogue for their
wit and reckless gayety. On the even
ing after his nomination to the crown
of Westphalia he met two Of his to-
vial companions just as he was leav-

said he, II am delighted to see you. I
suppose you know that / have been

sire, and permit US to be among the
first" "Eh, what! You are cere-
monious, methinks; that might pass
we're surrounded by my court, but
at present away with form and let us
be OF to supper"
Upon this Jerome took his friends
to one of the best rsstaurateurs in the
Palais Royal The three chatted and
laughed, and said and did a thousand
Of those foolish things which when I'M
premeditated are so delightful. 1t
may be supposed that the converse
ton was not kept up without drinking.
When the wine they had drunk began
to take effect, my good friends" said
Jerome, why should we quit each
each other7 II you approve Of my pro-
posal you shall accompany me. You,
c., shall be my secretary; as for you,
P who are fond Of books, l appoint
you my librarian" The arrangement
was accepted and ratified over a fresh
bottle of champagne.
At length the party began to think
Of leaving, and accordingly called for
the bill. Jerome produced his purse,
but the king Of WestphaNa could only
find two louis, which formed but a
small portion Of 200f., the amount Of
the bill. The new dignitaries, by
clubbing their wealth, could only mus
ter about 81.
What was to be done? At one
o'clock in the morning where could
resources be found2 They determined
to send for the master of the house
and acquaint him how matters stood.
He seemed to take the frolic in good
part, and merely requested TO know
their names. Having told him, the
restaurateur set his customers down
as sharpers. and threatened to send
for the commissary Of police. This
alarmed Jerome, who, seeing that the
restaurateur doubted them, handed
over his watch In payment. This
watch had been a present from Napo-
leon. and on the back was the en-
peror's cipher in brilliants.
On examining the watch the res
taurateur concluded that it had been
stolen, and took 1t to the commissary
Of police. The latter, recognizing the
imperial cipher, ran with it to the
project The project dew to the min
lister of the interior, and he in turn
went to the emperor at st. Cloud
Next morning the Moniteur contained
an ordinance in which Jerome was or
dered to Westphalia at once, and pro-
hibited from comforting any appoint
ments till his arrival at his capital.
