Uses of the Line relephone,

A man was telling US that down in
the country he stopped at q house that
had line telephone, and while he sat
there, it rang, and forthwith there was
a rush to it, notwithstanding the
number Of rings indicated another
house, the Columbus co. State Jour
nal observes. But that made no diff
ference, for they were just as much
interested in what their neighbors
were saying to each other, or what
the dealer had to say to any one of
them. They never for a moment ques-
toned their right to listen or the
rrCpriety Of It. That was one thing
they had the telephone for-to listen
to what the neighbors were talking
about. And it was not such a bad
thing as it seemed for it tended to
rule out all mean and unkind talk and
establish propriety and courtesy as
the rule of the telephone. At any
rate, it saves everyone on the line
from the sad effect of scandalous talk.
There rs nothing that so contributes
to the morality and kindly bearing OF
a neighborhood as line telephone.

ANARCHISTS DENY
BIG PLOT TO STAY
But Emma Goldman Thinks a Revolu-
tion Against Militarism Will
Follow the War.

NEW YORK, April l0.-Emma Gold
man and Leonard ID. Abbott, director
of the Ferrer school here, strongly de
MED yesterday the existence of an in
ternationaI plot to assassinate all the
European rulers. They denied particu-
larly that the anarchists in America
have any part in plot such as al14al-
legged Chicago anarchist confessed to
State 5 Attorney Hoyne there.
But New York anarchists assert that
they await general revolution in Eu-
rope after the war; an uprising that
they say even now is being fomented
in France, Germany and Russia.
What would be the use of assassi-
mating all the rulers of Europe?' asked
Miss Goldman. ''Others would rule in
their stead But, surely, there will be
a general revolution against miitarism
in Europe after this war. For this the
time IS not vet ripe. anarchist leaders
Throughout the world believe, so they
are pursuing Il policy of watehful wait
ing. But when the psychological mo-
ment arrives the anarchists Of Europe
will give q good account of themselves.
1T may he that, in this revolution,
a ruler will be assassinated. Who knows
what a man or woman of the people
will do when driven to desperation? But
ruler s death viii be unimportant; it
is militarism that viii perish from the
face of Europe.

COMPARISON IN MEMS FAVOR
Writer Asserts That the Female Sex
Is Far Less Conventional
Than the Male.

The reader may differ from me, but
/ believe that woman is much less
conventional than man, writes w. L.
George in the Atlantic Monthly. She
does all the conventional things and
attacks other women savagely for
breaches of convention. But you viii
generally find that where a man may
with impunity break a convention he
will not do so, while, if secrecy is
guaranteed, woman will please her
self first and repent only if necessary.
1t follows that a man is conven-
tional because he respects convention;
woman conventional because she is
afraid Of what may happen if she does
not obey convention. l submit that
this shows greater degree OF conven-
tionality in man.

world, wrecked on a desert island.
would get into his evening clothes as
long as his shirts lasted; l do not
think his wife, alone in such circum-
stances, would wear a low cut dress

if her frock buttoned up in front.

the Julian calendar was defective. The
invention of clocks and watches intro
duced greater accuracy in the measure
ment of time than had formerly been
possible, and these were now used to
help IN finding the exact length of the
year.
Suppose that we have a chronometer
which is absolutely correct. and that on
q certain day in March we observed
that the sun rose exactly at clock
If we note the time of its rising So
days thereafter, we shall find that it
rises little after 6, and that on the
366th day it rises a little before that
hour; and, calculating exactly, we shall
find the true length of the year to be
365 days, ; hours, IS minutes, % sec
onds.
Our year, then, is too long by / ] min
'utes, s seconds or about three-quarters
of an hour in four years, or about one
day IN $50 years. How, then, shall we
proceed to make a correction for this
difference between the real and the
assumed length Of the year -
First we call the years 100, 1900,
1900, which ought TO be leap-years,
common years. Thus century consists
of 10 common years and 81 leap years.
The error now is reduced to about a
quarter of a day in a century, and our
years are too short; but if we add a
day in every four centuries, we shall be
approximately correct, for 400 years
will now consist of sos common years
and 81 leap years, or 146,097 days,
whereas they ought to consist of 49,
900 days, 2l hours, 46 minutes, 40 sec
onds, an error of about a day in 1000
| years.
| The Julian calendar remained in use
| till 1882, when Pope Gregory abolished
| 1t, and instituted a new and improved
one which we now use, called the Gre
gorian calendar.
| First he dropped ten days, which had
| been gained from the time when the
Julian calendar was adopted by the Ro-
mans to the year 1882. Secondly. every
| year whose number can be divided by
! four without a remainder was to be
leap year and to contain 500 days.
| Thirdly, the last of every century,
although Invisible by four, was not to
| be leap year, unless it We're also the
last year of period Of four centuries.
| BY this rectifcation of the calendar the
maximum error has been reduced to one
| day in 10 centuries.
For many years the English adhered
to the Julian calendar, or the cold
style, - as it was called; and it was not
until the year 1851 that the British
Parliament enacted that II days should
| be omitted after the second day of
September, 1852, and that the third
| day should be the fourteenth-in other
words, that the Gregoria. calendar, or
"new style should be adopted.

Ways Of the opossum.

The opossum is night prowler,
usually preferring moonshine for its
forays. When ready to bear young
the opossum makes a nest of dried
grass III the hollow of a tree and pro-
duces twelve or thirteen blind, naked
little ones, about half an inch long.
and here each little one clings to a
teat. Here they remain until about
two months old. When caught the
opossum feigns death, meanwhile
watching an opportunity to escape.
From this comes the Americanism
playing 'possum."

NOT BURGLARS, BUT A DOG
Odd Discovery Made by Detective in
New York Mansion Solved
Great Mystery.

For the past few nights said an
electrician who was called to a Fifth
avenue mansion to look for wire trou-
bic. according to a New York CORE
spondent OF the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
"just as the family got into bed every
burglar alarm in the house went off.
1t frightened them almost to death
at first. On the second night the bur
glar alarm did the same act. So they
called me in. After going all through
the house / located the trouble by
chance. And now what do you sup
pose caused this state of affairs? AS
/ was seeking the cause of the bother,
while walking across the drawing
room, off went all the bells. / took
UP the flooring and discovered a nail
had been driven directly between two
of the wires, scratching the insulation.
and when the loose board was walked
upon the nail pushed down, made a
short circuit and the bells rang mer-
rily. Over this loose board and nail
had been placed a tiger-skin rug. On
this a massive ST Bernard dog made
a comfortable bed. When he would
move about during his slumbers his
great weight pressed the nail down.

Virtue It's Own Reward.

Rev. stephen Merritt tells this of
the self-denial practised by his little
grandson, Conrad. Conrad s father,
as was usual with him at the approach
of Lent asked the members of his
family one evening to say what spec
ial sacrifices they would make during
that season. Conrad asked if he must
decide at once. No. he was told,
you may think it over, but We should
know your decision by tomorrow. And
remember it must be something you
like very much" The next morning
Conrad announced that he had finally
decided to give up going to Sunday
school.-The Christian Herald.

GIVE ROOSEVELT
/ 800 DELEGATES
Whether He Can Get the 1913 More for
Majority Is the Politicians
Problem.

BOSTON, April 10. = Professional
politicians among Republicans who
make it their particular business at
this time to watch the election of ma
tional convention delegates have come
to a substantial agreement as to the
number for Roosevelt when the test
comes in Chicago, says Charles S.
Groves in a Washington despatch to
The Globe. These experts figure on APP
proximately 800 Roosevelt supporters
and that estimate varies but little
from the guess of some of the Pro
gressive party leaders who are also in
a way to get more or less exact infor-
nation. There will be 9S5 delegates in
the convention as the cards now read
OF these substantially one third will
be for Roosevelt as their first choice
The estimate of the Roosevelt
q strength of rising 300 in the con
yention lends itself to analysis from
which entirely different conclusions
may be drawn. Many politicians here
say that if Mr.. Roosevelt has 300
votes on the first ballot he viii be nom
mated. He would need 1913 more to Sc
cure a majority.
If, however, the estimated Roose-
Welt strength of 300 includes known
I'OoHVNtIt supporters VINO VIII vote lot
a favorite SON on the first ballot,
and eventually turn to Roosevelt, a
majority for the Colonel will not be
SO certain. But irst-balIot vote of
800 with the certainty that the second
ballot would release a considerable
number of delegates whose second
choice is Roosevelt presents a problem
in convention mathematics which, to
the supporters of Col. Roosevelt, is not
| difficult today of solution. They are
not disposed to accept the statement
that every delegate who does not vote
for Mr.. Roosevelt on the first few bal
lots is 'anti- Roosevelt. " They incline
to the conviction that if he goes into
the balloting with a substantial nucle-
| us anywhere near 800, subsequent bal
lots will show increasing strength and
that his nomination will be assured
| eventually.
There have been approximately 400
/ delegates elected and these have been
| distributed by the experts among vari-
Gus candidates; likewise delegates yet
to be chosen from many States have
been placed for this or that aspirant
| in the fluctuations.

Hitchcock's Satire.

Raymond Hitchcock is, Of course, an in
corrigible joker, quite unable under any cir
cumstances to refrain from his bit of fun.
While in Boston recently Mr. Hitchcock
had occasion to patronize one OF the trolley
cars there. which he boarded with a
friend. The conductor in charge of the car
was an extremely slim, boyish fellow,
whose chin was absolutely gmltless OF any
hair, and whose rosy cheeks proclaimed
his country origin.
Did you ever see such a young conduc-
tori" queried the actor OF his friend
That's right, replied the other, looks
like a mere boy, doesn't he!'
He does, indeed announced Mr.. Hitch
cock, narrowly scrutinizing the conductor
as he drew near. He then appeared more
youthful than before. although that would
seem incredible.
Are you the regular conductor" cue
ried Hitchcock, affecting an intense inter
est in the matter.
Yes, sir, replied the youth.
Then permit me to say that you are
the youngest conductor l ever saw. Why,
you don't appear older than my friend 5
son here. He is IL
You don't say sou queried the eondue-
tor, slightly fused, and in testy tone
Then in grutf voice. Fares, please.
May | ask YOU just one question:
queried Mr.. Hitchcock, after the fares had
been paid.
Yes, but please make it short; I'm
busy" retorted the conductor.
What | would like to know" said
Hitchcock, is this were you born on this
! trip? National Monthly.

Can Use Everything But Kegs.

One brewer in the state of Wash
ington has discovered that the prohi-
bition law instead of destroying his
brewery, has opened up to him much
more profitable business. He is now
bottling and pasteurizing milk and
manufacturing cheese. His big beer
trucks are hauling milk instead Of
beer His steam plant and refriger-
ating apparatus are cooling milk and
cream and curing cheese, and he finds
it necessary to employ even more men
than before. Other brewers in the
state of Washington are reported to
be about to profit by this brewer s ex-
perience.-The Christian Herald.

ALERT ENGINEER SAVES TRAIN.
Watchfulness Prevents Loss of Life on
New Haven Railroad

THOMASTON, Conn. April 10. =
Fast thinking by Engineer Carl H.
Holmes of Waterbury saved many lives
yesterday. Only three passengers were
injured when his train on the New Ha-
ven railroad, running 80 miles an hour
from Winsted to Bridgeport, was de-
rallied by a half open switch between
this town and Waterbury.
When about 400 feet away from the
switch at Jericho siding, which had be-
come clogged with frozen snow, En-
gineer Holmes saw that something was
amiss and threw on every ounce of air
pressure his brakes would take.
With the momentum of the Sunday
special thus checked only the engine,
baggage car and two coaches left the
rails.
The engine went down an embank-
ment, carrying with it Engineer Holmes
and his fireman, but they were not Sc
riously injured The engineer was cut
when he was hurled through the cab
window
The injured were Edward Basson OF
Torrington, left leg broken; Dominica
Kenehawek of Winsted, broken jaw, and
Mrs. Regina Wyngist of Winsted, left
knee fractured.
