Any One Can Use It, Yet Nobody la Able to Understand It. The telephone business is not like any other business on the face of the earth. It is the most reniark ablo combination of science and mystery, of human and mechanical, of wire and wits, of highly skilled specialists and the general public. Any little child can be the engi neer of a telephone talk train. Any little baby can send its cooings hun dreds of miles along the wire to its father at the other end. Ana yet, at the mystery end of the telephone, not even John J. Carry, master of telephone science, can explain or even comprehend some of the phe nomena of a telephone exchange. I once asked Alexander Graham Bell if he really understood the workings of a telephone receiver, and he replied: "Why, of course not. Nobody does." I also asked Mr. Einile Berliner if he could explain exactly what happened in a tele phone transmitter, and he replied: "No, I can't. It is as great a mys tery today as it was thirty years ago." Think of the marvel of it ! Here is an intricate network of wires and disks and electric currents and elec tric lights and keys and jacks and bells and cords and cables. This mechanism is so delicate that it is actually operated by the slightest sound. It is not sot in motion by steMin or gasoline, but by breath. The slight vibration of the vocal cords is actually the power that puts the vast telephone mechanism in operation. A telephone system is an immense and widespread mechanism of voice machinery. There is nothing else like it. It stands by itself as a marvelous thing which any one can use and which nobody c;:n under stand. Herbert N. Casson in Moun tain States' Monitor. The Bogus Beggar. Several prominent literary men of Taris conceived the idea of mak ing investigations among the beg gars on (he boulevards by disguis ing themselves as members of the begging fraternity and soliciting alms. They succeeded beyond their utmost expectations, both" in discov ering fraud eases of counterfeit cripples and blind men, and by the liberal fees which they themselves received. A good story is told of a number of these bogus beggars call ing upon the Due d'Auinale, with appeals for relief, to each one of whom the duke gave 5 francs. At last, however, a genuine beggar appeared, to whom the duke said: "I have received about twenty men dicants of letters today, and" I rec ognized them all, in spite of their nigs, but I don't know vou. You must be a bogus literary man. Get out!" Boiling Criminals to Death. Boiling criminals to death was once a IclmI mode of execution in England for eountert'eitinir and lat er for committing murder by poi soning. An act of parliament pass ed in lo.11 provided that convicted poisoners should be boiled to death, though tin's form of punishment was not applied to any other class of murders. The law was in force about fifteen years, and under it three persons were boiled to death. one a cook who put poison in food intended lor ins parish pour and another a maid who poisoned her mistress. A Dublin paper of Feb. 28, 1709, said that "twelve coiners (counterfeiters) were seized in the act of coiniiiL' and. haviiiy heen tried and found guilty, were four hours afterward boiled in oil, three of them women." Dallas News. The Minister's Parting Shot. The minister had just preached his farewell sermon to the ennirre. gation with whom he had had much trouble. "How beautiful." said a visitor to one of the deacons, "and how ap propriate lor a farewell sermon. "Think so?" said the deacon gruffly. "Why, yes. What better text could he find than 'In my Father's house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you.' By the way, where is ho going?" The deacon smiled sourly as he answered, "He becomes chaplain of the state penitentiary." The Merit of Pauline. Pauline, who had been attending school for two weeks, was telling her parents about the naughtiness of her classmates. "That's bad," said her mother, "and did the teacher have to speak to you too r "No'm," said Pnuline; "she had to speak to all the class but ino this afternoon. "Good," replied her mother. "What did she say?" "Why," answered Pauline, "she said, 'Now, children, we will all wait until Pauline it La order.'
