Windsor, Ontario, MAY 25, 1894. THE HURON EXPOSITOR. An Ancient Telephone. - It is a pretty widely -known fact that as *early as 1667 the English physicist Robert Hooke, desoribed the transmission of sound to a, very considerable distance. He says :that, by the help of a tightly -drawn wire, ‘-whith even might be bent in many -angles, 'sound might be propagated to a long dis- 'tastes, and with a rapidity which, though inferior to that of light, was at any rate, Infinitely superior to that of sound in the open air. It is -a most curious fact, and one w ich is not so generally- known, that Jacob Christoph Von Grimmelshausen, • a German . author of the seventeenth century; in the first chapter of the third book of his cele- brated novel,- " Simplicins Simplicissimus," mentions an instrmnent which, according to his description, not only corresponds to Robert Hooke's apparatus, but leads to the assumption of the existence of a contrivance at the time of the Thirty Years' War very similar to our present telephone-. The pas- sage from the hook reads literally as follows: "1 was, as airea.dy mentioned, so eager to gain honor and renown, that 1. could not sleep while all this was passing through my head. And when- I had Buell fancies, and lay awake many a night thinking how I might contrive new finds and :stratagems, I had very curious notions : consequently I bethought myself of an instrument with which I could on a calm night hear a trum- pet being blown at three hours distance, and a horse neighing and a dog hark- ing at a d3stance of two hours, and a man talking at one hour's distance. In the daytime the instrument was not so use- ful to me unless it were in aequiet place, be- cause one would have heard the horses and the cattle down to the least bird in the air, or frog in the water, altogether, so that one would not have tuiderslood one in conseL. quence of the noise of the other. Now, I eknow quite well that there are people at this very hour who do not believe me ; but, whether they believe me or not, it is the truth. I undertake, by means of an instru- ment invented by me, to recognise at night lby his Yoke a man who does not speak 'louder than his usual. custom. • And no one would believe me of those who saw with their own eyes how I used the aforesaid instrument, and when I said to them, " I . hear horsemen galloping, for the horses are shod,' or I hear peasants, for the men go barefooted ; then, there goes a herd of cattle, for I hear sheep bleating, bulls bel- lowing, and pigs granting, and so forth.' My own comrades at first took these speeches • for fibs,but when tiey foond in -reality that I was always speaktug the truth, then they always called it witchcraft taught me secretly by the devil's own mother. I an of opinion that if I had taught this. science openly I should have become very popular, - because it would have proved of great ad- vantage to those engaged in war, especially in sieges. This is what Grimmelshausen says about his "far -bearing instrument,' to which must be accredited a certain resem- blance with the present telephone." -Ma: -chinery. , The Bishop's Prayer. . 'Ili was during the 126 days' fight be- tween Dalton and Atlanta,' said Major Charles Vanderford, in one of his delightful strain :3 of reminiscence the other day, `that I saw one of the finest exhibitions of priest- ly courage that I know of history ever hav- ing recorded. We were in the ditches for tlfe night. Twilight had not yet fallen, and the batteries of the enemy were playing upon us from the other side of a fertile 4.4eorgia valley. As I rode with another staff , officer- along the line of the breastworks, I could see our hardy soldiers nimbly betaking themselves to close cover, as the range of the approaching gam drew nearer the prop- er mark. "At the end of the entrenchment was a booth, roughly constructed with poles and. •coeered. with heavy boughs. Beneath it were the officers of the command, and in their midst old Bishop A. L. P. Green was standing, praying for the success of the cause. He had just returned from Nash- ville, and his words were filled with a ,new earnestness. "Ail at once a cannon ball struck the t corner of the booth and completely demol- ished it. The heavy poles fell over the men and several were painfully wounded. sa t hough brushed my face, causing the blood to home. Not a twig touched the bishop, how- ever, and he lost not one word from his prayer. The men scarcely moved. He prayed for our friends a•nd our enemies who h held us in - contempt and scorn, and he prayed for the coming of God's kingdom, even in the time of war. I wanted. the prayer to come to a elose, for the Yankees 'were getting their range, and I did not know how socn the next ball would carry is all away, but the bishop prayed on, heed- :. less of the cannonading. "When he had finished the stars were 1)eginning to shine. • The great guns were anent, and the Yankee band began to play The ' Star Spangled Banner: Our band re- hponded with the 'Mocking Bird.' 17hey re- pealed it ; then our band played the Star Spangled Ammer' itself,and so they continued 7 'xehanging courtesies until after midnight. 'The next morning was the signal for a re - :hewed attack, and many a brave Southern boy lost his life that day." -Nashville .American. Black Wahlut Farming. walnut is 'not miich of a shade- tree. No- thing will grow under it on -account. of the - peculiar acid -like • .quality of the tree, and there is hardly a tree that grows that sends its limbs and roots further laterally, so that it despoils. a good deal of land. If a farmer. can by expending $5 worth take out a tree that will bring him $12 to $15, ani leave. him soil enough to bring in $6 to $8 here- after in crops, why, he is making a good thing of it. - I get on an average $160 per 1,000 feet for the black walnut I take to market. "And let me tell you this : If you want to leave your children -and grand -children a fortune buy some worthless mountain land and plant black walnuts. You can get thousands of acres in some parts of Virginia and West Virginia, and the wslnuts are to be gad_ in almost endless quantity every fall anywhere within forty or fifty miles of Washington. ,The tree really grows rapid- ly, notwithstanding its strong acid char- acter and peculiarly dark, firm grain. If you choose to cut a tree fifteen years old you could make money planting them for that length of time. It is a good crop to try." • Ruth. A PARAP111iASE. BY PA_NNIE M. NICHOLS, DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

Ted Madison was a boy eleven years old. Be had a diary given him last Christmas by some well-meaning frihnds, who also gave him a brief descriptioe of its use. Ted tried m'ost conscientiously, but in vain, to "keep" it; nothing ever "took place" with him whrthy of note. He ate his meals, and he went to sphool, one day as another. So it is n t surprising that 'before the middle of F bruary Ted's diary -keeping had come to ai end, and the book *as locked up in the safe in his father's office, to await more stir- ring times, or the fuller development of in- - vention: in its owner. A few mornings before formally abandon- ing ithe said to Hinny, his cousin and fteend, " To -night flam going to write in my diary -book everAing the teacher says to me to -day, just esiery little thing ; and then, to -morrow, eyerything, everything father and mother sisal to me. Now, that will be something, wofi't iteHarry ?" Ted's bright look, of rosy anticipation, made Harry laugh. a "Yes, you probably have some fii st-class lectures preeerved in ink, if you ai e not careful -and you will anyway, w iether. you ELI e careful or not," he added, a Ted gave the door al* jubilant bang behind him. - Harry had a stronOifection for honest, h adless Ted, and hag been impressed for s me time with the j.immense amount of snubbing deemed necekary to the " bring - leg of him_ up." At home, it was " Don't, dOn't !" and a steady 'Sliet of " Don't !" until Harry wondered why:avery ray of cheerful- ness and every gooditatured impulse had not been starved out ief the boy's disposi- tion. Both parents wore good, were justice - laving, and were modfd- citizens. But each MISS busy and fall of hare : Mr. -Madison in aaquiring wealth ; Virs. Madison, not a strong woman, itt battling with the infantile ailments of a pair of sickly twins. ' This was the o'situation, as Harry pon- d red upon it wondeting how he could help natters. It now 4curred to him that nnybe Ted himself WO hit' upon an excel- lent plan -that of -gutting down all his father and mother shOuld say to him in the ceurse of a day. ThOii if some discreet ac- cident should bring i to light, and they for once saw themselves Its their son was forced to see them, perhaps he diary would accom- plish a good purpose. ; A few nights latenglatry, feeling i.etired early with Teil, little think -1g that the diary had. already accompiished, or, at leaet, begun, its misSion. Sleeping lightly, he was aroused by vces in the adjoining bedroom. • " Myra, I. have Ted's dairy here," said Mr. Madison. " He seemed to be pretty hard pushed at the last for matter to put down, as you may jpdge by knowing that his last feiv pages are filled with &report of all you and I said tolliim yesterday.' Said _to him yesterday? I can't re- member 'a word I sard to the child yester- 3 .dav." Well, we both id take time to address :him several times, th.ough whether • the bby • or the world either Is 'any better for it you can decide by readik it over.

"Don't, don't, inakei- so You'll wake the babies !" • " Teddie, see your hands ! Leave the table instantly and wash t•heru over again." "Don't try to ekplain !

Ain James Nichols, a large shipper of Vir- inia, who was interviewed the other day Ly a newspaper reporter has furnished some interesting information concerning this wood. • ' Black walnut is worth twice as much 4.10W-t1.-dayS;* said Mr. Ni1iols, " as it was '4en years ago.

' I found the other day a black walnut gank four feet wide nailed up in a Virgiaia Aria where it had been for twenty years staiting until its owner coulti get the three oe four dollars necessary to pay for getting It •made up into a good kitchen table. That *ilk, just as it stood, was worth money enough to buy the old, man four good cherry; tAbles.

" Well, I'm going to turn over a new leaf !" Then as Harry's ear caught the doleful sound of sobs, he cast one triumphant &nee in the direction of snugly, peacefully slum- bering Ted, hnd drew the bedclothes over his head. But to leave the Madison's, how many of us oould feel sure of enjoying a perusal Of a shnilar report from our own Teddie; a re- port of some chance yesterday?

The King's Crown. , Few persons can suffer silently.' It seems to relieve their feelings to murmur -and: com, A story is told that once, an invalid, who had been suffering for more than twenty years, began to ask herself why she wasthus afflicted. Suddenly her room was illuminated by a heavenly light and a beentiful form bent over her, saying: " Daughter of .Sorrow, patient ?" " No," she replied, "but I am full of pai an d disease, and I see no end to my suffer- ings, nor do I know why I have to suffer so much." " Come with me, daughter, and I will show thee," was the reply. " But -I cannot walk," said the sick one. " True, true," he replied, as he took, her up tenderly in his arms, and bore her ten- derly -to another land, and. sat her down in a large workshop in a far-off city. The room was full of windows, and the workmen were placed near the windows;- in order to be near the light. They were hard at work grinding and shaping and polishing what appeared to be small pebbles. The sick lady's guide pointed to one workman who was so intent upon his work that he might have been alone in the work- shop. He neither noticed: nor spoke to any- one M the room. - In his hand he held, in a pair of strong pinchers; a half polished diamond. grasped the little thing as if he would (Tu. it, and held it against the rough stone out mercy.

He seemed to understand, and started out with his shambling trot in the direction of the school house. One hour passed slowly to the anxious pa- rents. When two had passed their anxiety was terrible, as they strained their eyes to see through the blinding snow his shaggy form bringing their darling safely home. At last he came with Lillian on his back, bundled up from head to foot. The teacher had fastened her on the pony and given him the rein ; and so he had brought her safely home, none the worse for her ride, except being thoroughly chilled. - • - - A FAMILY Fniesn.-No family should be without Perry Davis' Vegetable Pain -Killer.

STEVENS. Raggles was only a scrubby little Indian pony. His owner had evidently considered him of no use, and had cruelly turned him loose on the bare prairie to shift for himself. . He was a sorry looking little fellow, as he stood one morning at the gate to Mr. Hud- son's large cattle ranch; in Western Kansas, shivering in the wind, a.nd looking with a wistful gaze at the sleek, fat ponies insiVe. - Mr. Hudson noticed him,. and started to drive him away. But his little- daughter Lillian said, " Let him in papa ;the looks so hungry." Mr. Hudson opened the gate, and. the pony walked in, just as if it were his home. Mr. Hudson made inquiries, but no one knew anything about him; and as no owner ever came to claim him, Lillianclaimed him as her special property, and named him Raggles on account of his long tangled mane and He was a docile little creature, unlike the rest of the ponies on the farm.. He soon came to regard Lilian as his mistress. She learned. to ride him, and -could often be seen c entering over the prairies with her father. Captain Sweeney, U. S.
