This is on of the moat mysteri ous dinapparanonH of modern times. A few years ago it was annonnced that the famous American inventor had perfected this instrument, and some public experi ments that were given seemed to sup port this view. A simple little appa ratus, costing probably not more than a sovereign to make, was made to repro duce indefinitely any sound, even to a grand instrumental performance that had taken place in another hemisphere. Various were the speculations as to the manifold use of the new contrivance. r nemlfl at a distance were to bear each other's voices, messages could be left at Tieople's houses which could not possibly be ditttorted in the process of passing through the mind of an un tutored servant, business men could quietly talk into a little trumpetlike aierture and their clerks could hear their actual instructions at any subse quent jieriod. Up to now, however, we have been doomed to disappointment. Where is a phonograph to be bought? I do not know, and none of my acquaint ances seems better informed. In France an article can bo patented only on condition that it is bona fide and on sale to the public within a brief period I believe twelve months. The time haa surely come to consider the ex pediency of such a condition being ex acted in England. London Letter. A Limit to Ills Patience. Saturday afternoon, when vehicles were very thick on Washington street, an old gentleman in a yellow varnished straw hat with a wide curving brim and clothes that had a rustic flavor, and carrying an old black leather valise, sat on an electric car from South Boston, bound to the northern depots. As the car passed Jordan & Marsh's the con ductor called out, "Next stop Summer and Winter!" The old gentleman turned around, looking very much surprised. "You don't say so!" he murmured tim- laly. llie car went about two rods farther and came to a dead stop. There was a jam of teams ahead that didn't seem likely to be broken for some time. People began to get out and go on afoot. The old gentleman sat still, oui presently ne grew uneasy, in a minute he grew uneasier still and con sulted a large, open faced silver watch. He waited about a minute longer, and then he got up and began to climb down on! the car. "Look here!" he called out to the con ductor, "I'm willin to stay with ye all summer mebby, but I'll be cussed if I'll set here all winter!" And he went on down the street. Boston Transcript. The Yorkshire Penny Bank. "Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves" is an old maxim of great truth. Exempli fication is afforded in the case of the Yorkshire Fonny Viank, whose trustees have just laid the foundation clone of magnificent new premises in Leeds. This institution has now in its custody 1,440,- 000,000 or pence that is, just 6,000,000 of the savings of the people. In 1872 it had only 330,000. Meanwhile, that the managers have found the busi ness of "taking care of the pence," a profitable one appears evident from the fact that their reserve fund has risen from 0,706 to 160,000. The greater part of the money in trusted to the bank by its depositors is of course invested, and it is stated that the bank has now 1,250,00Q out on mortgages and over 4,500,000 in ne gotiable securities, including 300,000 in consols. London Tit-Bits. A Curious Inquest. There is to be seen just now at the South African general agency, at Cock- spur srreet, snaring uross, a curious collection of dried up or mummified bab oons, taken from a cave near Cron- 6tadt, in the Orange Free State. They have the skin on them still, and in two instances the female has a young bab oon clasped m its "arms," as if at tempting to save it from some sudden catastrophe. In the cave were also found two human skulls, a dog's head, a bird and the head of an antelope, all imbedded in the wall of the cave and all having the same appearance of great agony or fright. Several experts have examined the re mains with a view of ascertaining, if possible, the cause of death, the most probable theory being a sudden flood. Cor. Birmingham (Eng.) Post. A Deaf Woman on an Electrle Car. An elderly lady who lives near At lanta, is deaf. A few weeks ago she rode on an electric car for the first time in her life, and when she returned home she declared that she could hear perfectly while on an electric car. One of the family went with her, boarded an electric car and found that the elderly iaay could hear perfectly. Nearly Two Thousand Iost Umbrellas. 1 m . . fresn eviaence ox tne straying pro pensities of the umbrella is furnished by the recent annual sale of unclaimed goods at a London depot of the Great Eastern Railway company. No fewer -than 1,897 umbrellas were disposed of, all of which had been found unattended in the company's carriages and waiting rooms. n.i j x j.ue greatest summer aanger comes, as has been said so many thousand times, from uncleanliness. If people wouia insist on Dreathing pure air and living in clean houses and neighbor- nooas tne average length of human life would be increased by ten years.

Those who say there is nothing new under the run would be sorely put to it to find the counterpart of the Young People s Societies of Christian Endeavor. When, before this year of grace, has the earth thrilled to the tread of 1,200,04)0 young ieople bound together with a single pledge to do what? Pedal a bi cycle or swing a tennis racquet? No; to read the Bible and pray every day. to take part regularly in prayer meeting, support their own churches and engage in active Christian enterprises. There's a new aspect of young America for you! Young America? I should rather say Young World. If any one thinks that Christianity is senescent he has sufficient answer in this army of 1,200 foil regiments. It is marching with the steady swing of vet erans, and yet with the buoyancy of youth. Now and then an old Christian shrugs his shoulders, "After us, the deluge." True; a deluge of fresher vig or, keener wits, stronger faith. Look at the young people's religious societies of this decade and you will have no fear for the church of tha Twentieth century, To one who believes all this it is in deed astonishing that there are some who never heard of the Christian En deavor movement, who do not know how, only eleven years ago last Febru ary, from the elements of a revival in a church in Maine, an earnest pastor and faithful people, was crystallized this new jewel cf the church s scepter, the Chris tian Endeavor pledge. What was at tractive about it? Where were the jokes, the uniforms, the cake and candy, the glitter and gayety that alone were sup posed capable of drawing young people? If for nothing else, the world owes this movement its profound gratitude for proving the deep seriousness of the young. It used to be said, "Win them by persons." Now it is said, "Win them by principles." Ilarper's Weekly. A Horse at Home In the Tree Tops. We have been told of many ludicrous scenes and incidents growing out of the great flood of June 4, and ambitious re porters have busted clouds and mill dams, and almost ruined their imagina tions in their frantic endeavors to gain notoriety and fame in reportorial jour nalism, but the incident we are about to relate is true and told without hope of reward. On the Sunday following the flood, after the waters had subsided, L. B. Preston, of Tryonville, discovered that he was minus two horses, and of course search was instituted for the lost. " Near the village is a large wild grape vine that winds affectionately around a tree of good proportions with quite a large spreading top, the vine, as is fre quently the case, forming a sort of net work among the branches; and there, over ten feet from the ground, in the protecting embraces of the tree top and vine was found one of the lost horses alive and safe. The animal was rescued a . 1 . rrom nis lorry quarters, ana is now no torious as a hero and flood relic. If any one can tell a bigger story and speak the truth, let him now take the floor or else forever after hold his tongue. Centre- ville (Pa.) News. Why the Birds Were Lost. A pigeon flying experiment at Tours has ended m a most remarkable man ner, proving the shocking fact that the useful birds, in addition to beincr ex cessively greedy, are also given to an overindulgence in strong drinks. Four ouuureu ana twenty-nine pigeons were I .3 J 3 A A. " conveyed by train from Tours to La Bohalle and there let loose. To the as tonishment of the various societies in terested in the experiment, only forty i returnea some, ana tnese were m a dazed condition, and quite incapable of hnding their respective quarters. An inquiry resulted in the discovery that at a roadside station a large con signment of black currants had been put into the same van as the birds. The inebriating qualities of the currant juice proved too much for the little trav elers, and they were quickly in such a condition that only a small Drooortion were sober enough to find their way DacK to lours. Exchange. A Strange Bird In the Pigeon's Nest. Harry Francis, a boy of thirteen years, living on Pratt street, had a Leg horn hen s egg given him, which he put in charge of two mate pigeons. The birds sat upon the egg until within two days of the time for it to hatch, when they deserted it. The boy placed it under another pigeon which was already sitting on two eggs, and Sunday a little brown chick burst its shell. The foster parent fed the little stran ger pigeon f ashion,which method seemed to puzzle the chicken, making it amus ing to watch them. The newcomer's language appears to be a mystery to the pigeons, but they treat the little fellow well. Providence Journal. A Good Deal In a Name. At a benefit performance at Fiume the other day a farcical piece adapted from the French was performed with the title "Lord Mecknolenwordmaleck- menvillbostrickschedenmeedenolsonn . " uur own juues i'eter -Andrews once brought out a piece called "The Baron Kinkvervankots-dor-sprakengotchdern,'1 but the Fiume production probably es tablishes a record for preposterous length. London Ulobe. An ImproTcd King. One of the annoyances in playine; checkers is the occasional slipping off of the top checker whenever a piece is made a king. To avoid this a New York man has devised an extensible checker, consisting or a ooay ana a sneu sur rounding it, and as soon as a piece be comes a king the extensible portion is easily thrust upward and remains in its place. New York Letter. An Odd Catch. The other day two Rome boys were fishing in Armuchee creek and caught a fine yellow cat. When the fish was cut open they found within it a sight draft on tne Atlanta .national Dans:, duly signed and indorsed. The draft called for fifty dollars, and was sent protecta ble from Buffalo. Rome (Ga.) Tribune. I HOW THEY CARrtY THEIR MONEY. Beading the Character f Peoiile In the Pocketbooks They Use. ' "I can tell you the business of 6lx men out of every ten who como in here, and the social standing of all of them, from the way they carry their money, said a Broadway ticket seller for ono of the sound steamboat lines to a reiorter. "Did you ever think how ranch of a person's individuality is expressed in his method of carding his money? I see people every duy get at their ch;ingo and have xaade a study of it. "That man," said the ticket seller, as an old gentleman who had purchased a pasteboard good for a tnp to Boston went out, "is a retired banker. Did you notice that he carried his money in a long morocco pocketbook? That pocket- book is always carried in the inside pocket of his coat, on the right side. It contains a number of bright, clean bills, all neatly smoothed and laid out at full length and right side up. He nevei folds a bill, I will venture a cigar. "The young broker or wholesale mer chant carries his money in a small case made of seal or lizard skin. Ho folds the bills twice. His roll is never largo, but he has enough on hand to meet any emergency. "The clubmen invariably carry a roll of clean five dollar bills in their vest pocket.where they can bo easily reached. Somo carry only gold. James Brown Potter favors gold, and usually carries a few quarter eagles in a small silver case, into which the coins fit without rattling. Lispenard Stewart usually has a roll of new bills in his vest pocket. "The man who comes in and fishes from a deep trousers pocket a lot of one, two and five dollar bills that have been twisted up like a gun wadding I always set down as a sporting 'gent.' "The farmer on an excursion to 'Bos- ting counts up the price of a ticket in quarters and halves from a tan colored leather pouch that is tied up with a string run through small slits near the top. The seafaring man on his way to his home on the Maine coast carries the proceeds of his last trip in a calfskin wallet. It has been handed down from his father, or perhaps his grandfather, for it is black and shiny with ago. It has a long strap passed through a num ber of cross straps. The cross sections seldom have more in them than tobacco dust or a frayed tax receipt that shows that he owns a house. But iu the cen ter of the wallet is a place where bills may be laid out straight and covered with a calfskin flap from either sido. "The man who carries change in his coat pockets has been a car conductor at some time or other. The fellow whe draws ten cent pieces from every pocket in his clothes is a peanut man or vender of small wares. "The women, too, have a variety of ways to carry their money, though their lack of pockets- limits their vagaries in that direction. The young woman with fluffy hair, who has the price of her ticket rolled tightly in her palo, has a mysterious storage place for money somewhere. When p' e ii not spending it she puts it vLitriV l ui.i.i will ever go after it. rnt the pl-ce is accessible to her slim fingers in a second." New York Press. Reply from the Pew. "Joe" Jones, one of Sam's numerous brothers, has enlisted in the ministry. His first sermon was preached in a coun try church at Pine Log before a large congregation of farmers, backwoodsmen and crackers. Sam's methods were fol lowed with considerable success, but when Joe branched off on his own hook he struck a snag. He caused his hearers to wince when, slapping the Bible nearly off the pulpit, he exclaimed: "A man what will cuss a oath'll eteall" There was a lively shifting amonpr the pews and much cautious looking around and head shaking. Joe saw, and deter mined to push his point. "Brethren and sisters," he repeated, 'I want to say to you that a man what will cuss a oath'll steal! What have you got to say to that." An aged cracker arose at the back of the church and, fastening his glittering gray eye on Joe, drawled through hip nose: "All I got ter say is it's er gol dern lie!" Joe was so discouraged that he rested on his oars two weeks before making any more bold assertions. New York Tribune. Registration in Germany. In Germany the exigencies of compul sory military service require that a man should be registered from the day of his birth to that of his death. The govern ment must be able to lav hands unon him at any time. A man can accom plish no civil act without producing his papers of identity. He cannot set up in business, nor buy land, nor obtain a situation, nor marry, nor get out of any scrape with the judicial authorities, nor leave the country without satisfying the police as to who he is, where he was born, who were his parents, etc. Lon don Tit-Bits.

Washinrrton Star. Hot Alone. Very stout persons may sometimes be noticed glancing at other stout persons with a pleased expression that seem3 to say, "Well, I'm not as stout as that, any way;" or,. "There is some one who is quite as stout as I am." Evidently it is a consoling thought. Youth's Companion Telling Diamonds by the Taste.
