Senseless Telephone Habits.

From the Cincinnati Times Star.
The supersensitive New Jersey minister
who objects to the use of the word
hello in telephoning, because it sounds
like profanity, will not be taken seriously.
He probably never expected to be. But
had he started his campaign along other
lines, many willing volunteers would have
enlisted. OF all the senseless things we
do when telephoning-and they are nu-
merous enough, heaven knows!-the con-
slant shouting of Hello! Hello! is about
the most inane.

a traditional right to be used. 1t is good

wire that carries the veriest whisper Is
as silly as to howl your conversation to

One man, who has to answer many
daily telephone calls, substitutes the
simple word "Well?" for the ''Hellor' bel

Vineyards Of Paris.
From lie PreSSe.


Though it does not, of course take very
great proportions. Paris has an annual
vintage season which cannot be entirely
ignored Many gardens of the French
capital shelter fine vines. and some of
these have quite a reputation One of the
best known of the city's miniature vine
wards is that of the chamber Of deputies.
This was created in the reign OF King
Louis Philippe. when vines were planted
in the Aguesseau and Montesquieu court
yards of the Palais Bourbon. This years
harvest promises to be a particularly good
one.
The next few days will also see the
gathering of the grapes in many other
parts of the city. The Church Of ST.
Louis en- Tile has a very productive vine
ward and there is also a good yearly
harvest in a garden close to the Sacre-
Occur.
The Rue Saint-Guillaume will see a gay
little fete shortly. when M. Trogan, editor
of the Correspondent, entertains those
who write for his review for plundering
of very fine old vine. This is an annual
affair, and it promises to be as success
full this year as on previous occasions.

IN YELLOWSTONE PARK.
No Need for Rapid Transportation
There.

From the Hartford Courant.
As party from Connecticut were en-
joying the unsurpassed drive through the
Yellowstone Park a few years ago, q fell
low traveller, possessed of the true Amer
lean spirit of hustle, remarked that, il
they only had a trolley, they could ''get
through i'm half the time Those who
were taking in the beauty and novelty of
each moments panorama were thankful
that they could not go faster than slow
moving horses drew them and that they
were consequently inevitably sure Of a
reasonable time to look about.
Now comes the news by way of the st.
Paul Dispatch that there has recently
been meeting of railroad officials to dis
cuss the feasibility Of establishing a rail
route through the park Fortunately the
park itself belongs, not to any syndicate
Of exploiters, but to the United States
government We do not believe the
scheme will materialize. 1t surely should
not The idea is to lay rails away from
the established highways and to run over
these gasoline self-propelling cars. 1t is
admitted that the purpose of the ar
rangement would be to save time for the
visitor.
1t strikes us that, If he really must
save time" the would-be visitor should
cut it out altogether and let somebody
tell him about it. Just imagine a situa-
ton like this suggested by the conductor
announcement: Ladies and gentlemen:
This is where Old Faithful, the most reg

cent delay when We ran over an elk up

doing the Yellowstone circuit faster than
it was ever made before and what sights
you miss can be covered by photographs

The fact is that Yellowstone Park is
not for the hustler: it is natural and he
isn't. The very beauty of it is its natu-
ralness. One has to go slowly to take 1t
all in. Another element that is pressing
for an opportunity to 'saye time" is the
automobile crowd. They are asking the
privilege of driving through the park. At
present no such vehicles are admitted

American Genealogical Association
held recently in Montreal the uues-
ton of the treatment of tuberculosis
was debated from all points Of view by
many of the most prominent authorities
of this continent. Some We're of the opin-
ion that only incipient cases should be
treated in sanatoriums. others thought
that all cases should be treated therein.
while yet others seemed undecided as to
the scope of sanatorium treatment. The
system of treating tuberculosis in Edin-
burgh is the most thoroughly developed.
The more important agencies in the Edin
burgh system are as follows: /. The tu

base OF operations. 9 Isolation hospitals
for advanced cases. .. The sanatorium
for early cases. The dispensary treat
ment is. perhaps, in itself the most i'm

and caring for consumptives, while isola-
ton is absolutely necessary to prevent
