The Kaln Patters Upon the Hou*e-Top and Brings Back Memories of the Old Times. A Hanta Constitution? Tbe sore a man gets the more he wants is the saying, and I guess it is tbe same with nations. I got tired yesterday and just throwed myself down on a pile of cotton seed at tbe ginhouse and listen to tbe rain pat? ter, patter, patter on tbe old boards of the roof. It sounded just as it used to, somehow ; just as it did when, as a little boy, they tucked me away to sleep up stairs at the old borne. None but the older generation can know how sweet it was to sleep up stairs in the old time bouses and have the rain all night - to patter, patter, patter on the boards. It's a memory?bat old folks live in the past. Every age has its vigor and strength of young manhood, but it just as surely has its infirm step and bending age. Each generation takes its turn?once young then old. It will come your time to be old some day, you that live long enough, and then you won't wonder at my cher? ishing these memories of tbe past?the long ago past. "Hawaii," I studed as I lay there and listened to the rain. Thinks I, that soudda a long way off. It don't sound as near as did tbe "Cherokee country," nor Texas, nor the territories?it's got an out? landish whang to it, I thought. But tbe young generation is in for annexing, 1 think, and there is no use in saying a thing. I watched some of the young generation roll up a big snowball the other day. There was a rivalry between two sets as to which could make the largest ball. One ball got immense sb they kept rolling it. It waB so large after awhile that tbey could not handle it. They made a supreme effort and with their combined strength and ingenuity succeeded in getting" the great ball to the top of a hill. Now they had it was the thought, they could roll it now?and they did roll it?down. When it was started down it was so heavy and ponderous they couldn't Btop it, and so it went, faster and faster, tili at tbe bottom it Hindered into millions of fragments. You can make the application' here without my going to work to tell you all about what my thoughts were as I lay there on the cotton seed and tbe rain paltered, pat? tered, pattered on tbe house top. I don't guess it makes any difference, but I'm opposed to any Hawaii annexa? tion. There are plenty of people living who can remember what a craze there was to secure the Cherokee Indian coun? try. Tbe Cbattahooche river was then tbe western boundary line between the whites and red men, and folks thought it ;he very thing to get tbe territory the other side. They thought we needed it and they thought they would be satisfied when they get it. It hadn't been very long since tbe poor Indians had agreed to this Hue and they thought that now tbe whites would be satisfied, for they said, as they crossed over the river, "Ala? bama, Alabama," meaning "Here we rest, here we rest." So the State took its name. Bur, they were not allowed to rest there. The whites have been no more satisfied than before, nor did the great State of Texas satisfy them, nor all that territory west of tbe Mississippi? yon cau't satisfy them, they want the earth. We don't need any more terri? tory. It might seem clever in us to open oar door to Hawaii, being they are knocking, and give them a good govern* ment, but charity should begin at home ?good government for what is already here should be tbe first consideration. There is lots of wailing about hard times, lots of men out of Work: and the women are having to pitch in and do ths "sup? porting" act, but if we annex Hawaii and let all of that population of Chinese into citizenship, it won't be two weeks till they'll think themselves as good as a u 11-fiedged Georgia cracker and take the washing from tbe women besides. The Chinaman must be kept down. Tbey are all the folks we can abuse now. It has got so we can't cuss the Yankees nor the negroes?I dareBent Bpell it with two "gs" any more?and I don't Bee how we^ will be able to cuss at all if tbe China? man "gets there." In this connection, and in seriousness, I will state that it is appalling to an old man like me to see how the foreign element its outstripping the "cracker." Foreigners are not to blame. It is natural for them to be clannish, and it is natural that they should go to work and run this govern? ment?national, state and municipal?to suit themselves if they can. If they are not quite holding the balance of power tt-ey are making great strides in that di? rection, and tbey have us "hacked" so that it is only a matter of a short time till tbe Georgia cracker will not be in it, if be don't wake up and assert himself. As tbe rain pattered on I found my-, self taking up haodfulsof the cotton eeed and letting them run out in a stream. As old as I am I would like to get out in tbe sand and make froghouses and "play miller" and watch the sand pour as I uster, but it wouldent be now as it was then ; the little playmates would not be there; many of them?most of them? have passed over the river, and the ones who still tarry could not stoop around and pat the sand on their feet and lean over tbe "doodle houses" and glibly call "doodle, doodle, doodle," till the little bog would come up and they had him in the hollow of their bands. They are too stiff in the joints for the bending and stooping, and too dim of sight to see tbe little bug, but we folks live over again these very days many times in our lives, and ofteaest wbea tbe weather is gloomy and the rain patters, patters, patters on tbe housetop. Just to think that as I poured these seed from my band I must have my thoughts disturbed by the "fact" that they are worth thirty-two cents per bush? el. That is what cotton seed sells for now?thirty two cents. They were worth nothing when I was young?folks wouldn't have picked a million bushels up in tbe road; tbey were dangerous then to hogs; farmers hauled them into the marshes in out-of way places to bide them. Now they are good for everything and cotton itself brings just as good prices, and yet?but I don't want to Bay anything to make a farmer plant one b alk more this year, to the neglect of ' nog and hominy." I thought there was p'enty of meat raieed last year, but it is tocher now than it has been for a long l-iiH?, and Jay Gould is dead and the northwest raised a great surpluB. This "surplus" talk tickles me and Brown winks Iii- I* ft eye every time he hears it. WhtMi I 11. .nght of bow high meat is I bef-i; ?? *rir; I let the rain patter down oh m* a while as I sauntered round I trying to do this, that and the other thiDg But I couldn't help from studying as I gathered up tbe tools and imple? ments about' tbe place. Everything is foreign made. The ax and handle, the plow and plowstock, boes and hoe handles, everything I touched was made up north. Money was sent off for them that never gets back. I know nothing about tariff and mighty little about sil? ver, but I do know and feel that home industry is the thing to encourage?pa? tronize home mechanics if you ever ex? pect to get a hold of tbe money you let go again. Make all of the?e things your tAl that you can?ax handles, single? trees, collars and plow stocks, I can make a better plowstock than any you buy and if you don't know bow write to me and I will give you tbe rule, so plain that yon can't miss. Sarge Plunkett. The Crowning Achievements of the Telephone. Two exhibitions of recent achievement in the line of telephony have taken place recently in this city. Tbe first one sig? nalized the opening of tbe telephone line from New York to Chicago. Tbe next one was a public exhibition of tbe capac? ity of tbat line given by tbe transmission of music over tbe thousand miles inter? vening between here and the City of tbe Lakes. The music was so perfectly re? produced as to be heard by members of a large audience. To day New York is in telephonic communication with Chicago, and tbe oral transmission of intelligence has become an every day affair. When the telephone was first introduced, it was believed that it would never have a very extensive application. It seemed impos eible that all the leading business offices in Buch a city as New York should be put in communication with each other in any way by tbe almost impracticable in? vention of seventeen years ago. After the development of the telephone with microphonic transmitters for short dis? tance work bad become an acknowledged fact, the troubles offered by induction and tbe static capacity of long lines caused many to believe tbat tbe telephone could never bo a long range instrument. As in tbe casa of many other things in this world, it was found that the best applian ces secured tbe desired results. The con? struction of an absolutely first-class cop? per line of large caliber wire and of the most perfect details of mounting has re? moved the thousand miles intervening between here and Chicago effectually, and now conversation can be held with Chicago even better than ordinarily with New York City connections. The success of long distance telephoning in the pres ent case is merely one of tbe additional triumphs oHhe best. Oo February 7 of the present year; a still greater achievement was commemo? rated. On that day was witnessed the opening of the telephone line from Bos? ton to Chicago. Telephoning is success* fully carried on over 1,250 mileB of wire, ?wing to a somewhat circuitous route fol? lowed by the Hoe. All distances hitherto covered are i nsign i ft can t com pared to this. The possibilities it holds for the future cannot well be overestimated. A step beyond Chicago and the banks of the Missouri will be reached, and we may yet see Omaha and San Francisco connected by a line which will form tbe final link in a chain bringing San Francisco and New York within speaking range of each other. When conversation is carried on perfectly as it now is over 1,250 miles of wire, the extension of distance becomes a matter of detail. A few days after this reaches our rea? ders, tbe original Bell telephone patent, to which the Courts have awarded an un precedentedly wide scope, will have ex? pired. Tbe expiration of the patent and opening of the field of telephony to the nation is, under the circumstances, a signal epoch in the history of invention. Seventeen years ago the patent was granted. Under energetic business man? agement the industry based on this pat? ent attained an enormous development, and it is interesting tbat these monumen? tal achievements have only been accom? plished during the last days of tbe life of the patent. Tbe invention has not lived out a short life of usefulness to be relega ted to obscurity. It has increased con? tinually in importance, and it is only at the end of its monopoly tbat its greatest developments have taken place. Tbe connection of the two metropolises is a fitting work for the year of the Columbi? an Exposition. The American invention of the telephone will have in these com? mercial lines erected for everyday use its most impressive exhibition?an exhibit which will far surpass anything tbat can be shown in the electrical building of Chicago. It is an exhibit requiring the area of six or more States for its display, Tbe value of this invention in a money making sense has been enormous. The price paid by the inventor of the tele? phone for hi3 protection, technically speaking, becomes payable in a few days. The price paid for a patent is its surren*, der in statutory time to the public. The patent fee is merely designed to cover tbe expense of tbe office, and is no part of the consideration given by the inventor. But if we take an enlightened view of the matter, we will Bee that during its existence the Bell patent, by tbe conve? nience it has afforded the public in the transaction of business, has awarded tbe public a rich return for the monopoly granted. The convenience alone is in? valuable, and tbe money return to busi? ness men in the transaction of important matters cannot be over estimated. The completion of these great long distance Hoes marks tbe beginning of an epoch when telephony will acquire a new importance. Were tbe patent awarded a further existence every year would wit? ness for it an increase in value. Tbe re? turns received for the patents hitherto have been in great part based upon what it did during its struggling years of business, and during a period of great un? certainty when it was quite problematical what its results were to be. Now tbat it has obtained a firm lease of life, now that the telephone itself is in the full strength of a matured existence, the patent lapses, It is the old story ; tbe inventor obtains tbe least reward for his exertions; the true beneficiary is tbe public. Estimat? ing the benefit which the public has re? ceived from the invention, had the return been one hundred fold to the owners of invention, the reward even then for what has altered the whole face of business and commercial life would have been not a particle too much. The spirit of our patent syBtem is admirably illustrated iu the whole matter. An iuvention is made ; the incitement for makirg tbe invention is the award by government of a short monopoly conditional on its being patent? ed ; that is, disclosed to the public. Thus incited, the inventor works to achieve bis result, achieves it, and obtains what it* turn he can in the seventeen years of its j life. Then in the full vigor of an assured j success, with the most brilliant prospects before it, after having revolutioned the business world, the invention becomes public property a?d the inventor lo:s?? all claim upon it. The moral in the history of tho tele phone applies well in the case of tbe would be minimizers of patent rights. For just as the invention is in its most advanced state of development and has the most brilliant future before it, wben the returns from it should be of unprece? dented and of growing largeness, it be? comes public property and part of the American nation at large.?Scientific American. Don't be Superstitious. When I was a little girl my father was once absent fur some days on business. One day during that time a mirror fell, its cord baviDg worn out unnoticed, and broke into a dozen pieces. I remember it was an old-fashioned looking glass with a brass frame, and a parting across it above the centre. A neighbor, who was in at the mo? ment, exclaimed, in horror, "Oh 1 Mrs. H-, your husband will never come back alive 1 That is a certain sign of death I" I shall oever forget the look which passed over mother's face; it was like disdain, and she calmly replied, "I do not believe io signs." After the neigh? bor had gone, mother bad a little talk with me, telling me how foolish such a belief was; and in a few days father came back safe and well, .? if notbing had happened. Tbe lesBon was invalu? able, and I do not know that any one of the many so-called "signs" has weight with me. A friend was in my room recently, a cultivated Christian woman, too. We were putting on our wraps to go out to? gether, and I was about to lay her sun umbrella carelessly on tbe bed. She said, "Don't do that; I have heard it is a bad sign." Then, as if half asbamed, she added, "I know it's foolish, but I can't help thinking of it." Well, in a day or two I was going out, and in the same way was about to lay my umbrella on tbe bed, when the asso ciation of ideas brought my friend's sign to me. I said to myself, ''I will not be in the power of such a thiDg," and de? liberately put tbe umbrella on tbe bed. Now, girls, and boys, too, do not you yield to superstitions. I know persons who can have but little peace iu life be? cause so many occurrences are bad omens. Never mind if you .do hear of distinguished people, or good people, who will uot sit at a table of thirteen, or who will not begin work on Friday. Be sure their goodness and their greatness do not lie iu weakness of that sort. Be sure that if any calamity follows a "bad sign," it has nothing whatever to do with it, except as a coincidence. Is there not a lack of reverence, to say tbe least, in supposing that eur Heavenly Father makes His providence to binge upon any "aigo ?" Let us rather trust to His divine plan of ordering our lives, and do our part with a courage not weakeoed by super? stitions fears.?Helen A. Hawley. The Mannish Girl. She begins innocently enough. She has a troop of brothers, perhaps, and is drawn into their sports in spite of her? self. She catches tbeir contempt of girls ; cuts off her hair like Maggie Tul liver; takes pleasure in a riding habit and its odd accouterments. Horses and dogs are ber favorite companions. So she falls out of sympathy with her sex. She loses its delicacy ; she is reek leas of its conventions. That is always tbe peril of the mannish girl. But tbe fact tbat a woman in body, she tries to be a man in mind, exposes ber to the animi-adversions of tbe ribald. As she mingles with tbe world, she feels a kind of vanity by being mannish. To talk slang, to smoke cigarettes, to lide to bounds, commend her, in a meas? ure, to her male companions. They cul? tivate her society. They take her yatch log when they leave her companions at borne. Tney love to chat with ber in a box at tbe horse show. They even pro? pose a surreptitius visit to the Arloo ball. But they rarely marry her. That is wben the maidenly girl has her fall revenge. When it comes to taking a wife?a wife who shall adorn bis table; a wife who shall entertain bis friends?a man seldom thinks of tbe mannish girl. He knows tbat the arts by which she at? tracted him will be just as attractive to others. He knows tbat tbe laek of-refine? ment, which has a kind of zeal in the girl of twenty, will turn to hopeless vul? garity in a matron of forty. Then what is tbe end of the mannish girl ? Eternal spiusterhood or the divorce court. If no man will have her she gets more acidulated month by month. Her mind turns to bitterness. She has noth? ing but ill to say of her neighbors. She purveys wretched gossip for the social columns of the newspapers, and when a woman does that she has set the tomb? stone on her career and on her reputa? tion.?From Truth ?

Run n knifo or skewer into the thick? est part of tho ham next to the bono. If the knifo comes out clean the ham is good, but if it smells rank and smears the knife, the ham is not good. Select your ham, then, according to this rule, and lay it in cold water. Scrape and wash it carefully and let it remain in the water all night. In the morning, when the water?enough to cover tho ham?is nearly boiling, lay the ham in and keep the water in a simmer. "When it has boiled about an hour throw in two oar rots, four onions, two heads of celery, a sprig of parsley, two or three blades of mace and four cloves. If tbe ham is very salt, it is well to change tho water before putting in the seasoning, but if you do, be sure and change to boiling water. To obtain tenderness and mel? lowness the ham must not be allowed to boil hard, only simmer. Too much heat hardens all meat, especially salt meat. When the ham is done, set it off in its own water and let it cool in it. By. this means it will retain its moisture. When cool take it out, skin it, and dredge bread crumbs and pepper over it and set in the oven until it browns. ? Paris gardeners buy toads which they use as insect destroyers.
