One-half , one-half so fnir ;
JJut , oh ! I siiw her yesterday ,
And'no ouo Know 'twas she ,
When n little stck child looked up and

As she sat on my lady's knee.
Her fan It flirts and flutters ,
Her eyes grow bright , prow dim ;
And nil around no man is found
But thinks nho thinks of him.

Though they bo great and grand ,

At the touch of my lady's liuiul.
Her little shoo of satin

And a foot so small ought never at all
To inovo in iniro and dirt.
But , oh ! she gout among the poor ,
And heavy hearts rejoice ,
And they .can toll , who know her well ,

Her glove Is as soft as feathers
Upon the nestling dove ;
Its touch so light I have no right
To think , to dream of lovo.
But , oh I when clad In simplest garb
She goes where none may see ,

Two Stiitctniioii'H Wives.
Cassoll's Magazine : Not long ago.
when speaking of his wifo. Prince Bis-
inarck is reported to have said , "Sho it
is who has miulo mo what I n.m. " There
have boon English statesmen who could
nay quito as nuuih. Burke was sustained
timid the anxiety anil limitation of pub
lic life bv domestic felicity. "Every
unro vanibh.es , " lie said , "tho moment I
enter my own roof ! " His description of
hjs wife is too long to quote , but wo
hiust give nn epitome of it. Of her
beauty ho baid it did not arise from fea
tures'from complexion , or from shape ;
"she has all three in a high degree ,
but it is not by thesa that she touches
tie heart ; it is all that sweetness of
temper , benevolence , innocence , and
sensibility which n face can express ,
that forms her beauty. Her eyes nave
n mild light , but they awe you when she
pleases ; they comivand , like a good
man out qf olllco , not by authority , but
by virtue. Her stature is not tall , she
la not made to bo the admiration ol
everybody , but the happiness of
one. She has all the firmness
tht < does not exclude delicacy ;
tone * hrs all the softness that does
not imply weakness. Her voice isn low ,
Eojt music , not formed to rule in public
assemblies , but to charm those who can
distinguish n company from a crowd ; it
ht\s this advantage , you must come close
Jo her to hoar it. To describe her body ,
describes her mind ; one is the trun-
ecrjpt of the other. She discovers the
right and wrong of things' , not by rea-
Bouing , but by sagacity. No person of
Co low years'can know the world better ,
no person was over less corrupted by
Jtflut knowlooge. She has n true gener
osity of temper , the most extravagant
. 'cannot be rooro unbounded in their lib-
erality , the most covetous not more cau-
jous in their distribution. Her polite
ness seems to How rather from a natural
lisposition to oblige than from any rules
on the subject. It id long before she
chooses , but then it is fixed forever ;
and the first hours of romantic friond-
ihlp are not warmer than hers after the
npso of years. As she never disgraces
lor good-nature by bovero reflections on
anybody , BO she never degrades her
judgment by immoderate or ill-placed
iiraises ; for everything violent is con
trary to her gentleness of 'Msposition
and ttie evenness of her virtue. "
Lord Baconslield described his wife
ns "the severest of critics , but a perfect
wife. " She was the widow of his friend ,
Mr. Wyndham Dowis , and twenty years
liis older. The great affection which
Disraeli entertained for his wifo. whom
lip always esteemed as the founder of
his fortune , is well-known. She was in
the habit of traveling with him on al
most all occasions. At a dinner-party
a friend of the earl had no bettor taste
than to expostulate with him for always
taking the viscountess with him. "I
cannot understand it"said the graceless -
loss man , "for , you know , you make
yourself a perfect laughing-stock whore-
over your wife goes with vou. " Disraeli
lixcd his eyes upon upon him very ex
pressively and bald. "I don't suppose
you can understand it , B , I don't
suppobo you caii understand it , for no
ono could over in the last and wildest
excursions of an insane imagination ,
suppose you to bo guilty of gratitude ! "
On the 3d of April , 187U , Disraeli
made a great speech in the Free Trade
hall , Manchester. In a box at the end
of the hall , opuosito the platform , sat
several ladies , conspicuous among oth
ers being Lady Beaconsllold. Wo are
told by ono who was on the platform
that ' 'next in interest to the great
speech of the evening wore the sympa
thetic face of the orator's wife and the
way in which from time to time , the or
ator lifted his head , as if to ask for her
approval. When nil was over , Mr.
Disraeli waited in the retiring room for
a short time and was then driven rap
idly to the house of his host ( Mr. Romaine -
maine Cullender , ) in Victoria Park.
There Lady Boaconsfield was awaiting
him , and no sooner wore the carriage-
wheels hotiru upon the gravel than she
hurried from the drawing-room to the
hall , rushed into the arms of her hus
band , embraced him rapturously , and
exclaimed "Oh , Dizzy ! Dizzy this is the
greatest night of ulll This pays for all1 !
Cold Kent nml Tlielr Consequences.
Mercury : Cold feet begot red noses ,
blue lip , rough and corded hands , and
that gray , pinched look in the face
which adds live vearsto the ago of every
woman over eighteen. Out of toil
women seven always have cold foot.
A vivid circulation and , ergo , warm
foot mean bright eyes , a oft epider
mis , lustrous hair , rod lips , a warm
pallor most exquisite of complexions !
for the naturally pale , a peachy glow
for the rosy beauty. Warmth is life ;
cold is death.
No woman only an exception hero
and there can have warm feet in our
trying and changeable winters unless
she wears "llannols. " Even If she
chooses to bo indifferent to the ill-health
and discomforts arrlsinir from the es
chewing of "those horrid things ! " il
may begin to dawn unon her that rapid
and perfect circulation of the bloou is
the simple fundimontal basis of nil
good loous ; and that , in our climate ,
the "horrid " will
only things" secure
such circulation. But too heavy and
clumsy underclothing- the nervous
strength , and permits no more case'nor
grace than that displayed1- nn ele
phant. Actresses understand this , so
should women in private-life. The more
closely , the moro tautly , the nether
imbs are clad , the more easy , lightand
si mi uus arc gait and movement.
Nothing should wrinkle ; nothing should
'bag. " There should not bo too many
lotlicoats , nor too many waistbands.
The whole style of dress of the day ,
unong other things , demands this taujt
ness. Tights may not bo quito pract -
cable for cvory-tlay life. But women
should get as near to the effects of them
as they can.
The following arrangement seems the
uest evolved for the fulfillment of those
three requirements warmth , lightuebs ,
binuosity knit underwaist of silk or
softest wool ( may bo low-nocked and
short-bleovcd except whore lungs are
delicate , the danger in the complete
changes made when low-nocked even
ing drcssss are worn is thus done away
with ; drawers of the same snugly and
perfectly incasing the leg to the ankle ;
very long lioso drawn high above the
knee by suspension garters attached to
the corset ( circular garters impede the
full play and "swing" of the leg ; corset-
waist of very line , thin , elastic stock
inet which may bo low for the house
and high-necked with half sleeves for
outdoors. Thcso clastic corsets waists
are an English invention , and ono that
was much needed , lilting in glove fash
ion as they do without "bunching , " ns
the very llncbt of starched cambric will.
The little colored flannel shirt should
bo made on n deep bilk yoke , and that
and the longer skirt of shot silk pinked
and ( launched , and also yoked , which
has taken the place of the white petti
coat , may bo "divided" after the man
ner invented by a popular actresswhoso
terpsichorcnn evolutions are the acme
of lithhsomonuss and grace. This "divi
sion" consists in bowing up the skirt in
the middle- the knco , and .secures ttio
freedom of motion aimed at in the actual
"divided skirt" of the dress reformer ,
while the hideous and unfeminine exhi
bition of the same is avoided. Forgoing
out in the coldest weather a quilted silk
petticoat is substituted for the usual
thin silk ono. The weight of all this
underclothing put together will bo
found very small , and there in nothing
cumbersome about any ono of its de
tails.
This snugncss and warmth secured interiorly -
teriorly , the exterior garment need bo
neither ho tight nor ho heavy as their
wont. Freedom across the chest is os-
to nil ix I to the full piny of the respira
tory organs ; and long , deep breaths ,
fully inflating the lungs , make and keep
the blood puregive lustre to the glance ,
buoyancy to the step. Tightening the
girth immediately about the waist is
oven less injurious than strapping the
chest across with a harsh , unyielding
bodice which creaks with every attempt
to lift the arms , and would give way
outright bhould the wearer bo seized
with any sudden spasm of laughing or
sobbing. That and corseting too high
are the leading follies of fat women ,
whobe faces in a warm room turn a grad
ual purple , and whoso hands are cov
ered with rope like veins gorged with
blood that connot flow back again. The
method of the average woman Is un
scientific bunchy , cold undergarments ,
and dresses as tight as possible. For
health , and therefore for beauty , the
modus operand ! should be exactly re
versed.
To resume : Keep the feet warm and
the chest free. Have everything that
covers the body yield with Us motion.
Society's I'et Kolble.
Harper's Magazine : The cynic wants
to know what is gained for any rational
being when a city full of women under
take to make and receive formal visits
with persons whom , for the most part ,
they do not wish to bee. What is gained ,
he asks , by leaving cards wiUl all these
people and receiving their cards'/ When
a woman makes her tedious rounds why
s she always relieved to tind people not
'
n ? When' she can count upon her ten
ingors the people bho wants to sec , why
should she pretend to want to bee the
others ? Is anyone deceived by it ? Docs
uiybody regard it as anything but a
sham and a burden ? Much the cynic
mows about it ! Is it not necessary to
< oep up what is called society ? Is it not
necessary to have an authentic libt of
pasteboard acquaintances to invite to
receptions ? And what would become of
us without receptions ? Everybody likes
to give them. Everybody flocks to them
with great alacrity. When society calls
the roll , we all know the penalty of
being left out. Is there any intellect
ual or physical pleasure equal to that
of jamming so many people into a
house- that they can harbly move , and
treating them to a Babel of noise in
which no ono can make herself heard
without bcrcaming ? There ib nothing
like a reception in any uncivilized
country. It is bo exhilarating ! When
a dozen or a hundred people are gath
ered together in n room , they all begin
to raise their voices and to shout like
pool boilers in the noble rivalry of "wa-
rious langwidgcs , " rasping their throats
into bronchitis in tiio bidding of the
conversational ring. If they spoke lower
or even in the ordinary tone , conversa
tion would bo impossible , but then it
would not bo n reception , us wo under
stand it. But does society that is , the
intercourse of congenial people de
pend upon the elaborate system of ex
changing calls with hundreds of people
who are not congenial ? Such thoughts
will sometimes come by a winter lire-
side of rational-talking friends , or at a
dinner party not too largo for talk with
out a telephone , or in the summer time
by the sea , or in the cottage in the hills ,
when the fever of bocial llfo lias got
down to a normal temperature. Wo
fancy that sometime * people will give
way to a real enjoyment of lifo. and
that human intercourse will throw
off this artificial and wearisome
parade , and that if women look back
with pride , as they may , upon their
personal achievements and labors , they
will also regard thorn with astonitm-
nient. Women , wo read every day ,
long for the rights and privileges of
men , and the education and serious

The Phonograph Acnln.
Electrical Review : In that interest
ing little English pamphlet , Notes and
Queries , a correspondent announces
with almo-t startling resonance that
Edison is not the invcntorof the phone
graph. He has , ho says , the transcript
of a paper read before the British asso
ciation , long before Edison's claim ap
peared , in which n "Phonograph" was
described by a Frenchman named Scott
( what a Gaul ! ) Ho says ho can't make
out the date of the manuscript with cer
tainty , so blurred has it become , but ho
believes it to bo 1859. "At any rate , "
ho adds , "it is easily found in
the 'Transactions. ' " Well , if it
were so easily found , why didn't
ho find it before casting doubt
upon the originality of a mechanism
that has been accepted In good faith by
the best minds in the world. Instead
of doing bo he goes on to doubt that
Edison had any hand in putting the
parts together and perfecting the ap
paratus. How easily such a man could
be convinced that the moon is made of
grcon cheese ! Wo have taken the
trouble to look up the paper he refers tote
to it was read in 1857 , not in 18o and
arc , therefore , in a position to give him
some information on the subject. The
"Phonautograph" was a phonograph
only in the sense of recording or writ
ing sound , as its name implies , but it
couldn't read and , of course , it is the
audible reproduction of sound that
makes the phonograph so wonderful a
contrivance , and it was Edison's genius
that suggested it and made it a practi
cal contrivance.
Distance Telephoning.
Electrical Review : Words spoken In
Philadelphia can now bo heard in Port
land , Mo , , a distance of 450 miles. A
member of the Review's staff in New
Yorlc conversed with Mr. Stafford ,
manager of the telephone exchange at
Portland , Mo. , on Saturday last , and
heard every word distinctly. The
American telephone and telegraph com
pany , of Now Yorlc , of which Pros.
Thco. N. Nail and Vice President and
General Manager Ed. J. Hall , Jr. , are
the energetic and far-seeing executives
is to be congratulated on the successful
opening up to telephone service of this
vast and wealthy territory. What was
at first looked down upon as a doubtful
von turn Is now rapidly becoming recog
nised os ono of the most successful and
progressive moves in recent electrical
history. The largo and important cit
ies of Philadelphia , Now York , Brook
lyn , Albany , Now Haven , Hari-
ford , Providence , Boston and Port
land with intermediate towns
are now in telephonic com
munication , covering a territory
represented by bovcn blates. By No
vember 1 this , company's lines between
Buffalo and Albany will bo completed ,
arid the cities of Syracuse , Rochester ,
Utica , Auburn , etc. ; will enter the long
distance telephonic system.
There are at the present time over
ono hundred manufacturing establish
ments in the territory adjacent to Now
York that are dally patrons of this sys-
torn , either by leasing lines op by con
tracting for so many hours per day , and
these companies are all supplied with
the improved long distance transmitter
the invention which , witli the use of
hard drawn copper conductors , made
possible this wonderful and potent ad
vance in the telephonic industry.
The extension of this system to Cleveland -
land , Pittsburg , Baltimore , Washing
ton , Cincinnatland Chicago is now only
a question of time. It is known to bo
electrically possible , and the experi
ence of the American company so far
leads to the belief that it will be suc
cessful from the stern standpoint of
dollars and cents.
the Stampede Tunnel.
Mr. E. II. McHcnry , the engineer in
charge of the Stampede tunnel , Wash
ington territory , sends the following in
teresting information to the Railroad
Ga/.etto :
This tunnel is the second in length in
the United States , being 9,844 feet long.
It is on the "Cascade divlbion of the
Northern Pacitlc , and pierces the main
range of the Cascade mountains at an
altitude of ife)0 ! ( ) feet above tido. It was
completed and opened fortralllc the lat
ter part of May of the present pear , re
quiring twenty-eight months for its
completion from date of contract.
During the period covered by con
struction arc lights wore used with very
good results , but it was decided to adopt
the incandescent system for permanent
use for the following reasons : As n lin
ear distance rather than area was to bo
lighted , the distribution of the greater
number of lamps in ono line would bo
muoh more effective. The gases and
sinolto from the engine were found
to corrode and clog the mechanism of
the arc lamps. The strong air-current
through the tunnel would waste the carbons
bens rapidly , or require the use of
globes , with consequent loss of light.
An economy was secured in attendance
and cost of renewals. For these and
other reasons it was decided by Mr. II.
S. Huson , the principal assistant en
gineer , to adont this system as being
best adapted to the existing condi
tions.
The plant was furnished by the North
western Electric Supply and Construc
tion company , of Seattle , W. T. Itcon-
blsts of a oOO-Hght now st.vlo Edison
municipal dynamo , constructed to run
at a pressure of ! , - ( ) ( ) volts. Self-lubri
cating bearings reduce the necessary at
tendance to a minimum. The lamps ,
300 in number , are thirty candlo-powor
each. Light iron brackets from the
sides support theho lamps at intervals of
sixty-six and two-thirds on each bide ,
( riving ono lamp to every thirty-three
and one-half feet.
The , lamps are not placed as high as
customary , it being quite nn obiect to
avoid the smoke accumulating in the
crown of the uroh. The plan of wiring
is peculiar to the system. Six complete
circuits are required which have a com
mon return wire for all. A "nolo-box , "
containing a switch and safety catch ,
connects eacii circuit with the common
return. This arrangement permits any
one or all sections to bo lighted at will ,
for convenience of workmen or trains.
The tunnel in general is frco from
leaks , but where they occur Clark's
triple insulated wire is used.
The system is operated from the "oast
end , " and is driven by a double Kit-inch
Loffel mining wheel. The falls of Mos
quito creek , almost directly over the
east portion , furnish a hydraulic head
qf IttU feet , with but 400 feet of piping.
During the dry facason tiio power is fur
nished by the steam plant , consisting of
n .50 h. p. high speed Ball engine and a
CO h. p. etcol boiler * The dynamo Is ar
ranged to connect with cither the on- ,
.gine or whcql , or with both , the engine
being used as an auxiliary in the latter
case.
Allotted Electric Sucnr.
Electrical Review : A queer story of
an alleged wonderful discovery by an
American inventor and the practical
application of it in Great Britain cornea
from a Scotch uowspaperwhich vouches
for its truthfulness. The discovery is
of n process for refining sugar by elec
tricity , and the inventor was Professor ?
Henry Friend , of New York , whoso
death occurred , it is said , on March 10
of this year. lie was t-o secretive , it ia
said , that ho repelled all attempts to fa
cilitate the working of his process by
keeping the management of the ma
chinery in his own hands , and lie was
so fearful that his secret would bo dis
covered that ho sent the machinery to
Scotland piecemeal from different parts
of the country. Ho gave years of
labor and investigation to the process ,
it is said , and only his wife WOH
initiated into his secret. In his private
working room ho posted a notice that it
was death for anyone to cross the
threshold , and when ho died his secret
would have been lost had not those in
terested in his scheme insisted that ho
should make a written record of his ex
periments for Ube in such a contingency.
No details of the now process are
given , but it is declared that it rcndora
the boiling of sugar no longer necessary ,
and thus saves much that is now wasted.
The raw sugar is put into his machine ,
and the lirst batch is converted into re
fined product in four hours. After that
the process is continuous , the machine
working as long as raw sugar is sup
plied , and turning it into relincd nugar
in an hour and three-quarters from the
time it is put in. Ninety-nine per cent
of the saccharine matter in the raw
sugar is secured , it is asserted , and the
total cost is only about 80 cents a ton.
Kloctrlc Motor Trials at Pullman.
Electrical Review : The invitation of
the Pullman company to the projectors
of the various types of electric motors ,
may , if carried out , lead to tests of un
usual importance , because comparative.
Wo are notquito sure thattlic motor people
ple will look with favor upon the scheme
as proposed , and perhaps they would bo
justillod in declining to take part in it.
The Pullman people agree to build four
miles of road and would like to boo the
various types of electric mo
tors tried thereon : the "over
head" trolley system , the "third rail"
the "slotted main" and the secondary
battery system. They agree to furnish
the power from the stationary engines
sot up in their car works , the variouH
competing companies supplying their
own aparatus. But it should bo ro-
momborcd that thn initial cost of Bomo
systems is greater than others , though
in the long run being cheaper ; others
are bettor adapted' short lines than to
long ones , and there are various other1
virtues and defects which appear in in
adequate trials , but are seen in extended
ones. Will the companies risk the
chance ot a fanap judgment ? And is the
recompense olfered for the success suf
ficient to the outlay ?
