ROUND THE REGION.
Following the example of Western
railroads the Lackawanna Railroad Com
pany is about to install a railroad tele
phone system to displace the telegraph.
This new system consists of a telephonic
service similar to that of the telegraph.
In the place of the telegraph instru
ment, telephone instruments will be
placed along the line. By the installa
tion of telephones the company figures
out a saving of sixty per cent for opera
tors. it is planned to connect each tele
phone with a phonograph to record each
order.

that nature can use It in nourishing the

Joseph llarpuang, 20 years old, was
the victim of a strange accident at Maha
noy City while applying a lighted match
to a cigarette. A gust of wind blew the
end of his flowing four-ln-hand necktie
against the flame of the burning match.
In a twinkle it was converted Into a
tongue of fire which rapidly spread to
the celluloid collar he wore, setting it
afire. Two bystanders tore the flam
ing collar from his neck, but uot until
he was severely burned.
It is easier to keep well than get

THE UNITED STATES "IS."j
inthorltlee Who Fnvor the lie of
the SlnanlAr Verb.
Tn hi recently published work on "A
Century of American Diplomacy" Gen
eral John W. Foster, former secretary
of state, uses the singular verb In con
nection with the United States and Is
rolled to account therefor by a promi
nent critic, who admonishes him that
"to make United States a singular noun
would require on amendment to the
federal constitution."
Mr. Foster has spent considerable
time and labor In making an Investiga
tion of this subject and concludes from
all the testimony he has been able to
gather that the point is not well taken.
"I have found," said Mr. Foster, "that
in the early days of the republic the
prevailing practice was the use of the
plural, but even then many public men
employed the singular, and of late
years the latter has become the rule.
Among statesmen who have habitually
used the singular verb are:
Hamilton, Motley,
Jefferson, Beid, • ( .
Seward, Grefibim, "
lllntne. Si lag Wright,
Edmunds, Marry, H , , .•
E. J. l*hel|>e, Evartfl,
Webster, Bavard, I
Ilenton, Charles Francis Adams, *
Fish, Depew, I
Frclinghuysen, Olney.
"Of living professors of International
law Woolsey of Yale, Moore of Colum
bia. Iluffeut of Cornell and Jnmcs C.
Carter of New York use the singular.
Andrew Jackson was the first president
to adopt the singular verb In his offi
cial i>apers. In the earlier messages of
the presidents the plural form Is usuaF
ly found, but since Lincoln all of them.
Including Grant, Cleveland, Harrison
and McKlnley, have invariably used
the singular. In the decisions of the su
premo court during the first half cen
tury the plural form Is generally used,
but the singular appenrs occasionally.
In later years the court lias used the
singular. The same remark applies to
treaties with foreign naflons."—Wash

How to Jndge Tobacco.
Color, burn and texture are the throp
things which the grower has chiefly to
consider. At present the trade calls for
a very light cinnamon brown shndo,
which must be uniform, not mottled.
The leaf when rolled on a cigar and ;
smoked must leave a white or light
gray hard ash which does uot flake off
and fall Into one's bosom or over Ills
waistcoat, and it must not "coal"—1. e.,
have a black charred ring Just behind
the ash on the burning cigar. Tills Is
swre to give a bad flavor and taste. The
leaf must also burn freely and when
lighted hold firm for a reasonable time.
It must have a soft, silvery texture,
glossy surface and the elasticity of a
piece of kid, so that It may be drawn
smoothly and closely about the cigar.
Flavor Is not wanted In Connecticut
tobacco, for If there be much of it It Is
sure to be bad. Perfect burn, color and
texture can be got In the northern
climate, but a delicate and agreeable
flavor lias not yet been obtained. Fla
vor Is conditioned largely by climate,
the other qualities by soil and fertili
zers. It. Is desirable, therefore, that the
leaf be neutral, without taste, as far as
may be. We get the flavor wholly In the
Cuban filler. To obtain these qualities
of leaf is the problem of the grower, a
much more complicated one than meets
the ordinary farmer.—Harper's Week- ;
Widening London Ilrldxr.
Twenty years ago It was estimated
that 200,000 persons crossed London
bridge daily, 180,000 on foot and the
rest In vehicles. With the growth of
population these numbers have almost
doubled, In spite of the relief afforded
by the building of the Tower bridge,
half a mile down stream.
It bas therefore become an urgent
matter to increase the capacity of the
older bridge, and it has now been de
cided to accomplish this by means of
granite corbels which will carry the
footways as projections over the wa
ter on each side of the bridge. This will
increase the width of the structure
from feet to 05 feet. The present
solid parapet will he removed, and an
open balustrade will take Its place, an
alteration which will compensate to
some extent for the extra weight of the
new corbels.
There are already two tube electric
railways beneath the Thames, and a
third is hi progress of construction, but
the relief to traffic on the bridges, al
though It must be great, is not percep
tible. 1

If the sultan con show that the mail
bags of embassies are used for smug
gling, Ills case Is strong for their dis
continuance. I have known a good deal
of smuggling go oil in connection with
embassies. An embassador or a diplo
matic agent has a right to receive ev
erything intended for his personal use
free of customs duty, on making a dec
laration that It is for bis personal use.
I remember OIK? ease in which an em
bassador—not an English one—import
ed "for his personal use" ladles' dress

the ladles of the country to which he
was accredited.—London Truth.
Cantor Oil For MoNqnlloea.
In Venezuela the castor oil plant
growing around houses is believed to
keep mosquitoes away. In that coun
try the plant grows to the size of a
tree and is perennial, whereas iu more
temperate climates it attains a height
<> only four or five feet. Rut United
States Consul Pluniacher, at Mara
eaibo, thinks the plant would be equal
ly effective against mosquitoes any
where. By keeping the brunches and
seeds of the plant in a room, lie says,
the pests are driven away.—Youth's

sleep gives to an ailina, (ectliinK, fororliih, colicky, frcttf infant.
Almost distracted by its constant crying, and worn out with
weary, anxious care and watching, she tries everything possible
to obtain even relief for the little sufferer.
With what comfort and delight she sees her little one drop
off into a deep peaceful healfh-giving slumber, after ate little
clogged bowels arc cleared of their poisonous burden by a single
dose of Laxttkola, the great tonic laxative and mother's remedy.
Etaxakola is a pure, gentle and painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable
tonic pro|>ertics which not only act upon the bowels, but tone up the entire system and
purify the blood. A few drojis can be given with safety to very young babies, which
will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. Great relief ft ex
perienced when administered to young children suffering from diurrhrea, accompanied
with white or green evacuations, as it neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries Li
out the cause of the fermentation. LAXAKOLA will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, Bj
assist nature, and induce sleep. For constitution, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any
infantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is invaluable.

A man oh a Myrtle avenue car which
! was rolling down Washington street
| the other day on its way to New York
suddenly stood up and waved his hand
and called out:
"Conductor, a calamity has happen
ed."
"What Is It?" was asked as the offi
cial came forward.
"When I got ou this car way back
there, I handed you a half dollar."
"Yes, I know."
"And you didn't give me any change
back."
"Yes, I did. I gave you 45 cents, and
you put It in your vest pocket."
"But I never carry money in my vest
pocket, and I've looked— By George,
i but here she Is! llow could 1 have
I been so careless!"
"Don't holler again before you arc
hurt," sarcastically advised the con
■ doctor.
j "I'm sorry, mighty sorry," replied the
' man as he sat down, "and I hope you
! won't bear any hard feelings. I don't
usually make mistakes, but when I
couldn't tlnd that 43 cents, when I real
ized that I was dead broke In a big

The Telltale Bird.
There is a bird I'd like lo k-c,
A bird that always tells of me.
Whenever 1 have naughty been
This bird is surely to drop in
And tell mamma just what I've done;
Then she rails me "My little son."
1 know ad what she's gointf to say.
'Tis. "Johnny, you've been bad today!"
Hut when I ask, ' llow do you know?"
She says, "A birdie told me so."
And if a piece of pie I take
Or even a small bit of cake
From pantry where no windows are
And 1 creep through the door ajar,
This little bird has eyes to see
And tell mamma all talcs 'bout me;
Yet still 1 never saw this bird,
Dut ever of it I have heard.
Mnntma snvs, "Oh, he flics around!"
'Tis strange I cannot h#ar a sound,
Although 1 look and listen well
When i do things I would not tell,
Fur fear mamma might call me bad
And look at me with eyes so sad
Thai 1 am sorry, and 1 say
Again, "I'll never disobey."
I wish I could this rare bird Ami
That tells such tales when 1 doTi't mind.
Involution of Corn.
Corn, with Its 24 to 32 rows under
cultivation, was once but a coarse
grass, hiding each seed it produced un
der a husk, as wheat and oats now do.
Brought out to the light and sun, with
a chance to g<*t at enough plant food,
it has worked its way up to eight rows
of seeds, covering these with one husk.
The farmer and nature together have
added the extra 10 and 24 rows.
