might have been expected , her delicate

only serious obstacles they met with were
the fierce wolves prowling about the

most extreme caution , lest they bo torn

A Telephone at Knlrwan *
Paris dispatch to the London Times.
In the environs of Kairwan , the holy
city , there is a keeper of a kouba , or
shrine , who has Introduced the tele
phone , or is about to do so , into the ox
orciao of his fnnctlono in a singular ant
unoxpcstol manner. To underetind the
story it mnat bo explained that this
keeper is of French origin belonging tea
a good Norman family of Itouon , I ba
Have and the son of a minister of state
under the monarchy. Do is50 years o
age , and has passed through the mos
curious experiences. Ho was once a
priest of the Pramonstranti , whcso prln
cipil monastery is near Avignon , ant
known as the Couvont do Frigolet. I
bo remembered that , on the execution o
the anti-clerical decrees , Gen. Billet was
obliged to lay siege to this monastery
and the clerical revenged themselves 01
him by nicknaming him , "Dae do Frlgo
let"Oar
Oar keeper of the konba , after leaving
the Frigolet monastery , became a trap
plat at the Abbey of Staonelll , in
Algeria. After a tlmo he left the abbe ;
and proceeded to Innta , where bo turno :
Mussulman , and settled at Kairwan
where ho lived until the entry of th
French Into Tunis. Ho rendered at the
tlmo some service to his native
country , and was invested with the
charge of a konba , lighfly owing , I bo
lleve , to French ihlluonco. Ho speak
Arable admirably , preaches on the Koran
with great unction , and enjoys renown
for his great wisdom among the Arabs
The very Intelligent French minister
resident , II. Cambon , has probably no
neglected to cultivate him and taka ad
vantage of his Influence In the interests
of his country. However , for the present
ent , the kecptr of the kouba lives on the
offering ! of the believers who visit the
ehrlno.
Tbo revenues from such a source are
necessarily small , and it has occurred to
the ingenious Frenchman that a tele
phone might render him real service. As
the Arab pilgrims como to consult the
saint , the keeper Is about to install a
telephone In the kouba , which will cou-
vey to him in his chamber the questions
pat to the saint and return his own re
plies , Betides the material advantages
which this mode of performing" his min
istry might bring him , ho knows that he
would produce a deep and salutary im
pression on the minds of the faithful ,
for whom the modus operandi would
long remain a dread myilrry , This Is an
instance of how Invention elton products
results and am adapted to purposes
which their inventors little dtoim of.

tion of many events at the dawn of his

How to Make Money.

P. G. Henderson , of Central City , la. ,
who is president of the Iowa State Dairy
association , and a practical crcamoryman ,
In a letter to the Glebe recently , gives
figures showing the number of pounds of
mi k bought at his creamery , and the
number of pounds of batter made from
the milk from .January 1 , 1S81 , to Au
gust 1 , 1881 aeron months : Milk ,
1,090,002 ; butter , 45,185. This shows
1 pound of butter to 24 pounds of milk ,
or about 4.11 pounds of butter to 100
pounds of milk.
And for so long n time , and that too
through the early spting montln , is n re
markable yield. It was only done by a
very careful management at every step.
If a caw bo worth keeping at all she
will give at loaet 5,030 pounds
.nuually. She then would jiold about 200
jounda of butter per year , which at

Any cow that is worth the name , ought

As this disease Is making much trouble

A Profane Cntlavcr.
The colored people of Lowndes county
Georgia , are somewhat mystified ever the
irregular proceedings of a corpse , whlcl
refusud the decent burial with which tbo ;
were complimenting it. Craw Duncai
had been for years a loader In colorei
politics , but no never took to religion
A few days ajo ho became violently ill
and , going to bed , ho was duly besot by
wcet iag sUtors and zealous preachers
but all to no purpose. When the tlmi
came ho died , and a largo concourse o
friends and acquaintances gathered to
pay the last tribute to his memory. As
is the custom among colored pee
pie , they sang over his bcdy al
night. The weird music that lloatoi
over the adjacent forest tha
night struck a responsive chord in thi
bosoms of the owls of bassor note , am
they joined in the refrain. About mid
night a llttlo bird flitted in ono door an <
out of the other. This caused thoassem
blago to go on its knees , when the lende
declared that "sperits could not harm
'Hglous folks , " and the singing was re
sumed.
When daylight came the weary watch
ers detailed ono squad to build a coflii
and another to dig the grayo. The rndi
casket was first completed and conductei
to the proper place , It was put on tn
chairs , facing each other , beside th
corpse. Friends drew around to take
last look ; pall-bearers put themselves li
position to bear the burden to the grave
the coflin was hold ever the open grave
In an Instant the ltd went flying off th
coffin , and the dead man arose and cursec
with all the exuberance of a man who
had worked on a canal. The mourner
scattered in every direction ; but th
funny part of it is tboy insist that ho 1

Four men walked solemnly into the res

at down at ono of his tables. Ho
rubbed his napkin over it rapidly ,
imiled all round , loaned back with his
land on his hip , and said cheerfully :
"Well , gents , what is it ? Somothln'

"Yes , " said the most solemn-looking
man In the party ; "I'll have some "

hings and not stand looking at usi
Ejurry up ; got away ! "
"Ye ye ye yesslr. " Ho looked a

and then hurried down to the other end
of the room. Hero ho thought very harder
or a long while , and glanced back appre-
icnsively at the men , who slarnd at him
with all the visible signs of anger. The
load waiter asked him what ha was
standing around about , and the cooks
lughecl at him. Then ho came back
very obsequiously and said :
"You'll ' excuse mo , gents.'but I didn't
quite get that order. "
Upon this the solemn man exhibited
the most intense annoyance. "I tolc
you eight distinct times , " ho said ,
speaking very rapidly , while the others
chorused in at intervals , " to bring mo
; onio stewed oysters fried on toasted
naif shells , with mushrooms and $2
worth of soap , along with some buck
wheat cakes frappe , mulligatawny soup

"Haven't get ojsters , " and the man
jumped to his foot , "nor chickens , nor
