■ ARB WIRE TELEPHONE LINE.
Two Indiana Towns, Flftoen Kllaa
Apart, Successfully Connected*
An Anderson, Ind., correspondent
writes: One of the most novel tele
phone systems In the world Is the
| "barbwlre" line, which connects the
I towns of Anderson, Pendleton and In
! galls. It Is fifteen miles In length. Its
| inventor, builder and sole owner, Cas-
I sius Alley of Pendleton, Ind., now has
! six subscribers at SSO a year each.
| The time is not far distant when there
will be ten-fold this number. One
[ clothing company at Anderson with
branch stores at Pendleton, and the
Wagner Glass Works, with offices at
Anderson and factory at Ingalls, are
using this barb-wire system in their
business affairs exclusively. They use
the line frequently. They can convert
It Into a private line by plugs so ar
ranged that when one party Is using
the line he can cut out all others except
In Mr. Alley's residence, which is used
as a central station. It is no exag
geration to say that this barb-wire
telephone system is quite as satisfac
tory as the copper circuit of the Bell.
Ordinary phones are used with no
special strength of battery and there
Is very little trouble with tho linos.
In constructing the lino Mr. Alley
used tho top strand of the barb-wiro
fence of tho Big Four railway, mak
ing the connections with the offices
of his subscribers with ordinary tele
phono wire. In some instances where
the posts had rotted it was necessary
to paint the wire and posts with rub
ber paint to Insulate the wire. The
whole line of fifteen miles was built
at a cost of about SIOO, and the outfit
for each house, consisting of receiver,
transmitter, battery, call, etc., costs
not over $lO. The line has been in
operation since December 22, and has
not been out of order except for a few
hours when a fast train on the rail
way track struck a cow, threw her
body against the fence and broke the
wire. _

i'HE SPRUCE GUM CROP.

SCARCE THIS SEASON.
Hardship* of Gum fluitters—They lionm

THIS has been an off year for
gum in Maine. Ordinarily
the Maine supply of clear,
pink, odorous and sweet
spruce gum has been in the tons, and
every ton of it is worth S2OOO at first
hands. This year the supply of
marketable gum will fall much below
tlie average. This sad fact is not
brought about by a dearth of gum so
mneh as a lack of skillful harvesters.
"Everybody is going into it," said
a wholesale gum dealer in Bangor,
Me., the chief gum market of the
United States, "and the supply is not
so good this year in consequence.
They bring in all kinds of stuff, dirt
and pitchy and full of black spots, and,
of course, we can't buy it. We won't
get the good, clear gum this winter we
did last year on that account.
"I remember," went on the gum
dealer, as he leaned over the counter,
"when gum gatherers came in here
with from 400 to 500 pounds of gum
to the man to sell after a winter in the
woods. Every pound of it was worth
a dollar, and that is just what I gave
for it, right through.
"This winter I haven't seen any of
the kind of gnm we used to get; that
is, not in quality. Last year I bought
more than a ton of gum, and sent it
out of the State. There is a good de
mand for it, especially from the West,
where there are Maine people in large
numbers. I don't get a very big prof
it out of it, for it retails at ten cents
an ounce, all done up in a neat paste
board box. Then, there is a shrink
ago of ten per cent, on it, and the ad
ditional loss from it becoming broken.
After I have sold it to a middleman,
say at $1.25 a pound, and ho sells it
to tlie retailer, who can only get ten
cents an ounce for it, you will see there
is no great profit in it for any of us.
IT IS IIARD TO COLLECT.
"As for the man who gathers it,"
went on the gum dealer, "he earns his
dollar a pound. I wouldn't clean tho
stuff for that money. Every piece in
it has to be handled, and most of it
scraped with a knife to take off the
rough outside. There is a good deal
of waste in the cleaning. The best
gum gatherers are those who know
how to get clean gum, tho kind that
does not require a lot of cleaning."
Notwithstanding the difticulty in
getting together 100 pounds of gnm,
the dealer recalled that he bought on
one occasion 998 pound?, of gum from
two men, who had gathered it in a
winter. They were Swede farmers
from the vicinity of New Sweden, in
northern Aroostook. Work is dull on
the potato farms in winter, and tho
thrifty .Swedes look around for a
chance to make a dollar. Many of
them go into the woods as lumber
men. Some trap, while others gather
gum. These two farmers netted $1
a pound for their gum.
Only men of great patience and
never-ceasing activity can gather near
ly 500 pounds of gum in a winter. The
task is one calling for almost incredi
ble work. When one buys a little box
of the pure, amber blood of the sprnce
he little thinks of the patience that
ha 3 been put into the work of gather
ing it.
The gnm gatherer begins his work
in the fall, as soon ns the snow comes
and makes traveling on foot in the
forest easier than when the ground is
bare, and he keeps at his task, day
after day, in storm and shiue, until
spring.
now IT IE CATSERED.
Living in a 1-ough camp, he walks
forth M.to the trackless woods every
at daylight, and keeps going
until dark. He wears snowshoes, on
..'uich he skims the surface of the
deep white carpet on the ground,
making his way from tree to tree, his
head up, scanning the brown trunks
for the little drops of congealed sap
that is known as spruce gum.
An expert gum gatherer oan see
gum on the trunk of a tree where the
novice would see none. He UIBO knows
at a glance whether a "teat" is worth
taking off or not, and that when it is
sometimes fifteen feet above his head.
As it is impossible to reach most of
the gum on forest spruces without
some implement, the gum gatherer
has a specially made gathering rod,
with which he brings down the golden
drops. This rod is generally in three
sections, so that its length may be
regulated to the height to be reached.
On the end of the rod is a knife, and
beneath it is n little pouoh, such as is
used on a fruit picker, into which the
piece of gum drops after being de
tached from the tree by the knife.
Aftor getting all tho gum on a tree,
and there is seldom more than an
ounce in the rough to be had from
even the best gum trees, the gum
gatherer goes on to the next tree
yielding gum.
Not all spruces yield gum. Many
of tho trees have no gum on them at
all until the bark becomes broken or
there is some break around a limb,
allowing the sap of the tree to exude
and harden. Trees that have been
trimmed of their lower branches are
the best for yielding gum. Sections
where lumbermen have "swamped"
roads, or have been logging, are,
therefore, better, as a rule, for the
gum gatherer than the virgin forest,
where the gum trees are farthest
apart, and the gum hangs higher.
WHERE THE BEST CROWS.
There is a vast territory in Northern
Maine from which gum comes, a region
larger than the State of Massachusetts,
covered by deep spruce forest, broken
only by lakes and streams. Out of
this region in the spring come many
men beariug their packs of gum
their backs. Others have combined
with this work trapping fur bearing
animals. A number of guides, who,
in the fishing and hunting season
traverse the woods with parties of
sportsmen, devoto their winters to
gathering gum.
The life of the gum gatherer is
necessarily a hard oue, as will be seen.
It is also terribly lone&ome. All
winter the man with the gum pack flits
like a shadow from tree to tree, silently
gathering gum, and having no com
pany other than tho wild things in
the forest, except, perhaps, at times
when ho goes out to *OlllO settlement,
walking twenty or thirty or forty
miles on snow-shoes, to get provisions
and perhaps get his mail from the
little woodman's postofiice. But he
sticks to it, does the guv man, and in
the spring he "skuffs" down to Ban
gor, there to market his gum, and
perhaps indulge iu a few <?f tho fading
joys of town.
Such is tho story of gum, the kind
of gum that makes the Yankee feel
like going back borne whenever he
smells it or takes a chow of it; the
kind that puts to shame the sweetened
confections made by machinery; in
fact, the real spruce gum, that is as
much a part of the resources of Maine
as ice, or lumber, or granite, or pretty
girls.—Boston Globe.
A Solid Man.
"Take a look at that man." Tho
head ot the house hail just returned
from the kitchen nnd was talking to
an old friend whom he had left in the
library. "Notice hiH carriage; head
well back, step firm, shoulders
squared and his whole air suggestive
of important business. They just
called me to see him. As a result he
has a half dollar of my money, a hat
nuil an overcoat that is yet good for a
season or two."
"Told a sad story, I suppose?"
"Not specially sad, but it's his
whole manner. He has the composite
spirit of the warrior, philosopher and
man of tho world. It is not oue man
in twenty that gets better than a enrt
dismissal from the woman in the
kitchen. She declares that she can
tell from a knock what kind of a ma:i
is giving it. If it bo nervous, timid
or vacillating, 'stammery,'as sho calls
it, the applicant is sent about bis
businesa before he can get his breath.
AH the servants turn up their noses
when they hear that weak aud flut
tering request for au admission.
"But this fellow swung around to
the rear ns though he was going to
storm the castle, gave a bold, auda
cious knock as if with tho hilt of n
sword, stepped inside as the door
opened and asked in a commanding
voice if the man of tho house was at
home. 'Dou't disturb him till I get
warm,'aud he pulled a chair to the
side of the range, put his miserably
shod feet into tho oveu aud asked if
ho could glance over the morning
paper. The pie smelted like tho pie
he used to get at homo, aud they gave
him a generous section to sample.
He praised the roast till he got a
slice, told the cook that she ought to
set up ns au exclusive caterer aud the"
asked for me. He did not whine o
cringe, but talked just like a solid
business man, looked me straight in
the eves and captured the goods and
chattels I've mentioned. That chap

it."—Detroit Free Pross.
Migratory lllrdg.
The sole business of a migratory
bird's sojourn in the land of us
choice seems to be th" rearing of a
family. This accom, isbed, the
thoughts of the birds seem to turn
immediately to the South—to the
wnrm, fruitful, indolent latitude
where harsh windn aud chilling rain*
and fading leaves never benumb
bright spirits. The conjugal ties
break, fathers forsake mothers anil
offspring, and the latter follow as fast
ns strength pcrmitß. Thus again, as
wave after wave sweeps down to us
from Cauada, as if ou the wings of
autumnal breezes, it is noticeable that
old males are leading the hosts ot
eaoh speoies, and that only later come
females and young. I am careful tc
make this matter of the succession of
ages clear, because of noble signifi
cance in the problem: How do birds
find their way? The old answer was
short and easy: Instinct tells them.
This means, if it means anything,
that a bird is born with an intuitive
knowledge of a road he has never
seen, perhaps crossing an oceau.
Moreover, migration routes are rarely
straight lines north and south, t
which the little creatures might be
kept by some mysterious "sense o:
polar direction," but are usually some,
what roundabout, often crooked an{
sometimes squarely east aud west fo;
a large part of the course.—Ernest
Ingersoll, in New Lippincott's.

One by one, nervously and cast
down in look, came a perfect throng,
amounting to abont tw hundred peo
ple, who out of sheer shame-faced
ness bought something. So each had
lost money, some five shillings some
more up to twenty pounds, but no one
had lost sixpence. A splendid adver
tisement, cheaply obtained nnd en
tirely due to shrewdness.—Publicity.

tho People's Restaurant.
A touching incident, simple in its
character, but invested with almost
historical interest, marked the opening
a couple of weeks ago of the first of the
poor men's restaurants which the Prin
cess of Wales has succeeded in estab
lishing in London. No formal cere
mony inaugurated the opening day's
business at the establishment founded
by the Alexandra Trust in the City
road, London. Something much more
telling than prosaic speeches, more
Impressive than votes of thanlm, oc
curred to draw attention to the cooked
meals which are served at a cost be
low anything previously attempted in
London. One day the Prince and Prin
cess of Wales, accompanied by the
Hon. Sydney Greville, drove down tc
the City-road on a surprise visit to the
Alexandra restaurant. Luncheon tick
ets were bought in the ordinary way at
(9 cents) each. Whilst thou
sands of toilers, workmen, factory
girls, shop boys and needy clerks were
consuming the luncheon provided in
tho big dining halls, the royal visitors
sat down to a similar meal in an ad
joining room. There were six In the
royal luncheon party. Three courses
were served. The bill for the whole
party came to 2s. 3d. (54 cents). Need
less to say, the presence of the heir
apparent and the princess in the res
taurant was the occasion of a singular
ly interesting demonstration on the
part of the people.
Alysterle* of • Toilet.
Every man has a theory against and
an apparent abhorrence of a woman's
use of artificial means in the way of
producing a bloomy complexion, and
yet as surely as the needle to the mag
net you will invariably find him gravi
tating toward the girl or woman with
a made complexion. The fact of the
matter is men don't know face pow
der and rouge when they see it, they
are not prone to recognize it even on
a face as near as that of their own
wives. So despite that much is being
said and more written about the lat
ter day woman's frank use of rouge,
powder and pencil, as long as one of
her most appealing charms is vested
in a rose and cream complexion, just
so long will she make use of the
