Why not have a code of manners such as
they have abroad? There is certain form
which is always observed in Germany. Ths
bell rings, the maid answers "This is Mr.
G. b. Browns house. Who IS there, please?"
And the answer comes promptly.
Another annoying feature of the phone is
the yelling upstairs which it occasions. How
many patient housewives have nearly lost their
tempers day after day when the maid insists
on screaming up the stairs, Mis- Brown
there's lady on the phone for you.' 1t is
liberty which the telephone presupposes, a lib
erty which the maid would never think of TAX
ing if the caller were at the front door.
The prevalence of the telephone and the
amount of business that is carried on over it,
beth social and official, is accountable, accord
ing to nerve specialists, for the increase of
nervous diseases among our business men and
society matrons. They live under heavy
tension and cannot take time to talk slowly
or nationally. Everything is dispatched with
the greatest speed possible over the telephone.

night fifth wide open eyes and parted lips
The two men pounced on the intruder and
were going to thrust him out of the house
bodily when he started his explanation.
I'm John Babcock, Mrs. Carey's brother"
he said.
Mrs. Carey's brother" exclaimed Mr..
Mason.
And Mrs. Howard and Adelaide looked
shamefacedly at each other for both had
heard Anna Pitman speak of the Careys, who
lived in the other half of the house.
The Pitman house was double and there was
a connecting door between the two parts on
the second floor. Mrs. Pitman had given the
key to Mrs. Carey before she went away in
case there should be any necessity to go in.
And since Mrs. Carey had hal unexpected
company that night she had put her brother,

his summer vacation, into one of Mrs. Pit

Boots and Shores Alarm.

The next morning, since there was nothing
to eat in the house, they went out for break
fast intending to visit old friends in the town.
Adelaide put matches and candle just inside
the window, they could make a light as
soon as they got to the house in the evening.
They called on all their old friends in tine
town, and in the evening Mrs. Howard went
to the midweek meeting at the Calvary church.
Adelaide, who had been with some girl friends,
met her there after tine meeting.
On the way home for some reason Adelaide
felt frightened She said so to her mother
three or four times. But as there was moth
ing defnite she laughed it off.
When they came up the porch and
opened the window the matches and candle
were gone. Thinking that possibly her sister
and brother-in-law had returned, she crawled
in to find some more matches where she had
found them the night before On the way to
the mantelpiece she fell over something, and,
reaching down, felt pair of boots. Now, her
brother-in-law had a little hobby on just this
very subject, and never in his life had been
known to wear boots, claiming that low shoes
not only more comfortable but more
healthful. This flashed through her mind as
she felt the boots and added to the odd feel
ing Of apprehension she had.
Her mother had heard her fall and came
hurrying to her, and together they cautiously
approached the bedroom chair propped

Salem so, although it was rather late, they
went over and aroused the family. They ex-
planned the circumstances and Mr.. Mason and
his son armed themselves with stout sticks
and gun which hadn't been fired in thirty
years. Mother Mason climbed up on top of
the china closet in the pantry to get the gun.
On the way over the two men inclined toward
the sticks, so Adelaide took the gun.
Stationed around the bed, which, from the
snores emanating therefrom still gave signs of
occupancy, they stood ready for action as Mrs.
Howard lit the gas. Mr.. Mason jerked the
intruder by the feet and shouted:
What do You mean by coming in here and
sleeping, you thief?''
And the thief" sat up in bed and dazedly
rubbed his eyes. He saw a very flushed and
excited girl trying to hold an out of date gun
steady and on each side of her a determined
man armed with heavy cane. Then his eye
turned again in amazement to the young girl
whose eyes were flashing and who, according

CanelLikes Cigar wifh His Days Work.

N OGS and horses seem to be about the
only animals that are total abstainers.
- Performing bears easily be taught
to acquire the tobacco habit and once
they have it they do not give it up unless they
are absolutely forced to do so. Goats on the
other hand, appear to prefer the cgaret and
take kindly to smoking it from the first.
Dromedaries and camels likewise are most
addicted to the weed and when they are
under its influence can be made to do almost
anything.
The driver carries a triangular piece of
wood which is pierced at one end like a cigar
holder. This is inserted l. the beasts mouth,
the cigar then lit and pressed into the hole.
Immediately the camel closes his eyes and
puffs away through his mouth and nostrils
until the cigar is entirely consumed.
1t seems to enjoy to the full the experience
and also to derive from it a decided stimu-
liant, for though it may have been ready to
drop from fatigue before, it will plod on after
wards for miles. 1t is not easy to break it of

On the same day In 1875 pleasure schoon-

were sixty persons ON board, including one
Hugh Williams and his family. OF this
three score only Hugh Williams survived the
wreck.

Two of them, both named Hugh Williams,

I'm a professor at Phillips academy" the
young man went on to say, waking up to the
humor of the situation and Laughing heartily.
Adelaide felt worse than ever, for she mad a
proper awe of all pedagogical persons, and
felt that her offense was magnified just be-
cause he was a professor.
Mrs. Carey was then awakened and she
made the two Howards comfortable and in the
morning had them both in there for breakfast.
Poor Adelaide, who had scarcely slept all
night partly due to her embarrassment and
partly due to John Babcock's blue eyes, could
answer only "yes and " no " to all the ques-
tions at the breakfast table.
But that afternoon she and the professor,
on his invitation, went down to the Willows
and did all the silly things one does at a sum-
mer park, and in the evening they went to

Mice Made Thread for Clever Scot.

S~ an ingenious Scotsman belongs the
credit of being the first person to har-
ness a mouse and make him a money
making factor. David Hutton proved
that an ordinary mouse could average run
of ten miles day and he had one mouse that
ran the remarkable distance of eighteen miles
in that time. A half pennys worth of oat-
meal was sufficient for its food for thirty
days, during which tine it ran 362 miles
He kept two mice constantly engaged in the
making of sewing thread for more than year.
The thread mill was so constructed the mouse
was able to twist twine and reel from 100 to
200 threads day, Sundays not excepted. To
perform this task it had to run ten miles a
day, which it did with perfect ease. On the
half pennys worth of oatmeal, which lasted
for five weeks, of the little mice made
1850 threads twenty-five inches long and as a
penny was paid to women for every hank
made in the ordinary way the mouse at that
rate earned pence every six weeks Allow
ing for board and machinery there was clearly
profit of $150 from each moufe.

Engagements Break
When Leaves Fall.

HE melancholy days are saddest of the
year for lovers as we'll as others. Dr.
Charles Heydemann, eminent psycholo-
gist has advanced the theory that au-
tumn is the time for shattered engagements, as
it is time of general depression and lowered
vitality.
The spring" he says is the time for the
making of engagements, the time for love. 1t
is the psychological moment of the quickening
of universal life, the result of an overplus of
vitality-hence the general friendliness of fam
lilies, plans for the future, and engagements.
