The commanding General could talk with almost every regiment instantly. The system worked perfectly. The tele- phone has come to stay in warfare. In the field of commerce the world has not yet caught up with the advance in the use of the telephone. "There is more business done beneath the street than above it," said a tele- phone man. "While you are walking along the streets thousands upon thous- ands of messages are vibrating on the wires beneath your feet. These messages carry financial agree- raenta amounting to millions upon mil- lions of dollars. The Stock Exchange could not do its business without the phone nowadays. "Sales of all sort e are being made, agreements affeeting the life, health, and prosperity and safety of the people are being sent over the wires. Stories of life, death. and love are being told. The story underground is one that is never fully told. Life pulsates there." "A woman about two years ago discov- ered a new use for the telephone. It was for a morning chat in bed with her neighbor, while that neighbor was also in bed. Marie comes in with Madame's cof- fee about half -past 8 o'clock and awakens her mistress.

In various forms, such at "painting it red," -"paint the town red" or simply to "paint the town," there is a popular saying, common also in books, which has quite lost its original significance for the average reader or hearer. In the first use of this expressive metaphor there was no suggestion of carousing or lawless an devil deeds. It came into use from the immemorial habit of celebrating popular festivals or holidays by lighting bonfires. The fires painted the night sky and the scenery red, and hence the color became signifi- cant of jubiliation and merrymaking. From that meaning it was a short road to carousals and reckless pursuit of plea- sure in a loud and conspicuous way. But 11, 18 believed by some authorities that the current phrase -owes its immeaa ate vogue in part to the habit of Missis- sippi river steamboat captains of telling their men to "paint her red" when they Were urging them to heap more Inflam- mable fuel en the roaring fires under the boilers., That wild, racing spirit was close enough to other outbreaks of hot blooa and recklessness to make the tran- sition easy ancl, short. Againi , it s possible to get elose to the current meaning of "painting it red." in old. allusions to the color of the noses of hard drinkers. It used to be not un• eommon in England to use the expression "paint" as equivalent to drink.—Cleve- land Leader. ggiiseisattoorfs.

One day the earl sow a jet 'of water Aloof, up from the sea. "A whale," said the old sailor, and sure enough the great creature was seen in a moment. "Did you ever see a sea serpent, Wal- ker?" asked the earl. The old fellow peened in his work and said: "Yes, my lord. I saw one oneet.

The dilate rush hither and thither, arranging their hu- man chattels in groups. Than, having placed themselves at the head of their respective groups, they promenade slow- ly around the market. We cannot watch them all, so we sel- ect an average one containing a boy and a girl, brother and sister, who have been brought in by a caravan and are facing a slave market for the first time in their lives. Beside them are two vig- orops men, two able women, two young children and very old and very bla.ek: man, nrest among the slaves.

Ap- parently they are not inclined to take advantage of their chances, for after the circle has been completed twice more tre dilal pauses again and hands the two slavesover to their new master. By this time lie has a bid for the grown boy and girl, and summoning one of his companions to complete the ne- gotiations and sign the papers relating to the purchase just concluded, he Inn- -ries off again, extolling the merits of the pair he hopes to sell next. In this case there is some short, sharp competi- tioviem price rises by five and even ten dollars at a time, and then—ominous sign—there is separate bidding for the boy ansi girl, bidding that hints at sep- aration. However, in the end a great country Kaki, who Ims travelled from Tarudant, secures the pair, and they pass -out of the promenading circle into the care of one of his stewards—himself a slave.
