AT A CABLE STATION. ISOLATED OPERATORS LIVE IN A WORLD ALL THEIR OWN. PlctureMque at th« American Ter minus of the Great Transatlantic Cables. Thirty Men Live a Peculiar Kind of Ex istence by Themselves. To an outsider the words “life at a cable station” convey a vague sort of meaning, such as the term "life on board ship” would imply to one who had nev er been to sea. The very peculiarity of cable lito attaches to it something of a 1 special interest. It will l>e my endeavor here to portray as far as passible what life la at one of the busiest and most im portant cable stations in the world, land ing two ocean cables from Watervillo, Ireland, two from New York city, one of which is operated direct from Wall street; also a cable to St. Pierre, Mique lon, and working a direct land system in connection with and over the Cana dian Pacific railway. It is a well known fact that cable sta tions, as a rule, are placed upon the most outlandish spots imaginable, in thus wise throwing the operators out of touch with society and the world at large. Just picture to yourself a moment a small cape running out into the Atlantic on the most northeasterly point of the American continent. A little to the south and situated somewhat on a hill you will aee what appears to be a small village circling into the shape of a horse shoe. The background is thickly clothed with small fir trees, and immediately at the foot of the hill is a large lake with miniature islands clothed in rich green foliage. Beyond the lake and as far ns the eye can reach Is one vast expanse of water di viding the eastern and western conti nents of Europe and America. At once you are brought to the “Canso station” of the Commercial Cable company. To the southeast of the lake the broad Atlantic rolls along in heavy monotone, while far away on the horizon a dark line of smoke floats leisurely in the wake of a passing steamer. The station itself has a picturesque appearance in the glistening sunlight, the handsome office with its bold frontage standing like a sentinel at the western gateway. There are the finely laid out tennis courts, the broad crescent of substantial villas, with their small patches of greensward and flower beds In front, and the neat little clnbhouse with its small piazza, where the men enjoy their pipes of an evening and watch the fleet of fishing boats or ocean travelers passing round the caj>e At the eastern entrance are the bache lors’ quarters—a large 2-story building, accommodating nearly 30 men. Two and a half miles away is the fishing town of Canso, with its 2,000 inhabitants. There is nothing outside to portray the amount of activity going on within the office. The commercial world is in full swing, the cables are being worked at top speed, and messages are pouring in to be transmitted to all parts of the hab itable globe. Business is being transact ed between the London and New York Stock Exchanges almost as speedily as in the exchanges themselves. Here one gets a general idea of the importance of submarine telegraphy to the world at large and the valne of time. No stop ping, no pausing, nothing but rush, rush, rush, the clicking of sounders, the work ing of automatic senders, the tapping of keys, and the steady buzzing of recording instruments. The operators have the money market under their control; are edifying the po litical world with the latest conundrums or flashing forth the tidings of some dreadful calamity across the submerged chains which link the old world with the new. Life at a cable station is not all sun shine, neither is it all shadow. We have our periods of dullness as well as our sea sons of pleasure, advantages as well as disadvantages. We live in an uncon ventional manner, but there are times when we experience a thirst for town life with all its rush and rattle, merely for a change. On the whole, however, we are very contented and happy; there is such a sense of freedom so far removed from the congested atmosphere of city life. Koam where one will, there is no one to say, “Whither goest thou?" On- can shoot all over “no man’s land" or cast the deceptive fly on lake or stream and wile the silvery trout from their va rious haunts. There are no preserves, therefore no gamekeepers or watchers. In season we have boating, tennis, cricket, riding and other sports to brace us up for the mental strain of the oper ating room; also our concerts, dances and picnics to mark the superficial side of life. Naturally we have to rely on our own resources for amusement and entertainment, and at a large station there is generally a fair supply of talent in various directions. When winter is upon us with its icy grasp, when the trees and everything around are clad in a beautiful garb of white and glistening snow, we don our furs, and away we go across country to the merry tinkle of sleighbells. Snow- shoeing and skating also form important features of our winter’s pastime. When the shades of evening cast their dark mantles around ns, we gather in the cheery clubhouse and over onr pipes discuss the latest news from the outside world, sum up reminiscences of other days, talk of episodes in our lives and experiences at other stations in other lands, with no foreign element to break our bond of fraternity. There is a strange Bohemianism In the life of a cable operator. The constant moving about he is subject to, the living In foreign countries and mixing with different races give him a cosmopolitan education, with a broad and generous view of humanity, to the downfall of many narrow and popular prejudices. 1 do not know of any other profession where exists the same fra * ;nial feeling or spirit of clannishness as i,i met with in the cable service. Let a man travel the globe, and the mere fact ol his being a “Son of Mercnry” will insure him a warm welcome at any cubit station he may visit.—Cor. New York ilerald. Unique Holiday Gifts. One good and well to do old lady in Harlem, being at her wits’ends for pres ents to meet all tastes procured from the bank a packet of new $10 hills and stacked them upon the parlor table, whence she dispensed them through the day to family and friends as they came in.—New York Sun.

It's all owing to nor rocks.- Slafcln-T Love to tlta Own Wife. “Did yon ever hoar of a man marrying his own wife?” naked Harvey Knttuer of a party of good listeners List night. “1 don't mean a divorced conp’.o getting remarried, but a couple really going through the marriage ceremony a sec ond time, with one of the two entirely ignorant of the fact. I met a case of that kind last year and am thinking of selling the idea to some novelist to build a plot on. It was in a small Ohio town, and the bride liad been deserted by her lusband 20 year* before. She had long ago come to the conclusion that he was dead and had been looked upon us an eligible widow, who was fair and 40, if not fat, when a stranger came to town, got himself introduced to her and finally persuaded her to try the matrimonial experiment a second time. They were married after a short courtsliip, and a few weeks after the honeymoon the hus band gave away his story and told his wife that she had married him twice without knowing it. “His explanation was that on leaving her 20 yfears before he had gone on a protracted spree and had finally got him self sent to the penitentiary in a distant state for a long term. After being liber ated, he was ashamed to look up his old friends and took it for granted that his wife had forgotten all about him by that time. He accordingly went abroad, and it was only on his return after a long period that he heard incidentally that his wife was still living at ttie old home. Rather than run the risk of being spum ed for his heartlessness and relying on an entire change in his personal appear ance, lie conceived the daring plot of winning and remarrying his own wife. I don’t Know what the lady said when she was undeceived, but that is one of the details the novelist I sell the story to can supply for himself.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A WHITE HOUSE GUIDE. Greek Stools ami Chairs. The stools or chairs seen on Greek vases are in great variety, and as regards time cover a period of many hundred years. On some of them are figures seat ed on block" of stone or wood, but the general form is that of stools with or without the feet of animals, sometimes having arms, but rarely backs. Some times personages are seen on vases or on statuettes seated on chairs, with backs of moderate elevation, curved in the form of the ruff worn by women in the time of Queen Elizabeth, wliich were probably considered thrones. ,A form of chair in common use among the Ro mans was that with curved arms, fa miliar to all those who have seen upon the stage the Roman plays of Shake speare. Chairs or stools of other forms were also in use among the Romans, made often within a certain degree of art and elegance and of costly materials. Sitting at table the posture now considered the most elegant and the most cleanly was not practiced by them, the reclining at titude corresponding more nearly with their ideas of ease and luxury.—San Francisco Chronicle. No Need to Walt Ten Years. It is said that a public reader of some repute, making a tour through the west, happened to have an audience one night in a South Dakota town whose “hus tling" spirit created a demand for any thing from Sunday dog fights to lectures on msthetics. The house was packed, and the reader’s efforts were followed with marked attention. Several selec tions had been well received, when some of the shorter poems of Arnold were an nounced. Probably few of the auditors knew who Matthew Arnold was or what to expect from the next n umber on the programme, but they bail been hearing some good old sonl stirring verses, and interest was keyed to a high pitch. It chanced that the reader started with “Youth’s Agita tions,” beginning, “When I shall lie di vorced, some 10 years hence” Ho paused for breath, and in an instant a voice in the gallery shouted: “Ten years! Come out to Dakota, an yer can git one in two weeks."—New York Tribune. An Eskimo Trick. The short, chunky, wooden looking Eskimo men wheedle silver out of the populace by playing a game requir ing considerable skill. This consists in lifting a donated nickel or dime out of the ground by the crack of a whip. The wh.pa these chaps use are like an ordinary hull goad, with a number of leather lashes added to the total length of 24 feet. They shoot these long lashes along f he ground like snakes straight at a coin set edge up in the dirt, and as each tip reaches the spot it curls with a snap like a pistol shot and likely as npt lifts the coin high in the air. It goes to whosoever gets it la that way.—Chicago Cor. New York Sup. Different School* of Music. Each generation, tired of the outworn devices which furnishes its predecessor with excitement, demands newer and stronger effects to stimulate its emotions. As the devices of the classicist grow pale, the listening public demands a romantic school with new forms and’strange pro gressions. The romantic school would, if some hearers had their way, be suc ceeded in turn by a chaotic school, and in the race for new sensation all vestige of artistic form would disappear.—Mac millan's Magaxine. guk.tmt tin! Ntudir. B.tt.r Tlian FmU. An honest education in the primarj- branchee is all the public schools should be expected to give. As it is, there is a dis position to divert the pupils from substan tial studies to fads that tend to defeat the main object of the public school system. By giving them a smattering of a dozen things they are deprived of geeful knowl edge that can be easily imparted in the schools and sent out into the world im perfectly equip|)ed, when they might have been supplied with knowledge that would have been useful to them In every item.—Pittsburg Press. Borax In the Arts. In the arts the use of borax is con stant. It produces the glaze on china, earthenware and tiles and is used in the enamel for granite ware, as a mordant in ca'ico printing and dyeing and a flux for all metals, as it enables them to melt at a lower temperature. Used with pure, fine white sand in the proportion of four to one, It produces a glass so hard os to cut common glass like a diamond, while it is added to slaked lime where it is desired to render plaster fireproof.— Epicure.

Entertaining Conversation of an ExeeuU.e Employee of a Few Months Ago. Not to l>e too i arsonal, this account of White House visiting is taken from an | experience in the p.ist. It is on a day when the president is in the big east room, shaking hands with any Tom, i Dick or Augustus who wishes to inflict himself en the head of the nation. There are numerous familiarly polite men lounging in the vestibule of the mansion. Their dress consists of indifferent busi ness suits, very ready made in apjiear- ance, black, brown, blue and gray, ill | fitting and often shabby. These are the servant* of the place, whose duties are to show the guests through the public rooms and at times through the private ones. Their appellation in this house of the people is “guide.” They are partic ularly the persous from whom the visitor to Washington gets the tone of the White House. Lf any one claims that these are gentlemen in office and not serving men, let him try them with a fee. It U not exacted, is forbidden, but —try it! Through with the president, a group of people are invited by a guide to go into the other rooms. "These rooms has all been n 'wly dec orated,” he says, “and after designs by Miss’ Harrison, and ’tain t nec< ssary for me to say that she’s a artist.” A sweep cf his hand takes in floor, wad, ceiling and furniture. “This,” he goeson, “is the famous blue room, where the president receives with his lady beside him. You have all heard of going behind the line. Well, the pres ident stands here with his lady on his right and the ladies of the cabinet. That makes the line. After they shake hands the elight go behind the line where all the dignataries is. “TKat’s right, ma’am. Sit right down.” This to a woman who has rested against the arm of a chair. “All sit down and make yourself comfortable. People seem to think this house belongs to Miss’ Harrison, but it don’t. It belongs to all of you. Miss Harrison wants everybody to feel at home. Now, in this room Miss' Cleveland was married. She stood right there where that lady's feat is.” The modest appearing little woman on whose feet all eyes were centered looked inclined to put them in her pock et, but the guide went on remorselessly, “Where that lady's feet is placed.” "This clock,” said the guide later, pausing before an elaborate mantel clock, “and them side ornaments was presented to George Washington, our first president, by Layfayette and pre sented by he to the White House. And it has ben going ever sence. Them lights are electric and just put in. You turn them on and off this way,” illustrating. “Seeing as you look interested, air, you can turn them on once if you like.” The man to whom this kind permis sion was granted hears a name synony mous with electricity, but the famous electrician, as courteous as the guide, gravely manipulated the button. Leaving after a quarter of an hour more of this talk, and a visit to the con servatories, and a peep at the private dining room, Selina expressed herself in this fashion: "All applicants for such work in the White House should pass a civil service examination before being accepted. Sec ondly, they should bo obliged to wear a distinctive dress. Call It a uniform if the word livery is objectionable. But these rffn should look as neat and trig as postmen, motormen and car conduct ors. Thirdly they must be os willing and obliging as they are at present. 1 would like to leave our president’s house once without feeling half amused and half vexed and altogether ashamed, as I am today.”—Newport News. Queer Japanese Belief*. The Japanese believe in more mythical creatures than any other people on the globe, civilized or savage. Am. mg these are mythical animals without any re markable peculiarities of conformation, but gifted with supernatural attributes, such as the tiger which is said to turn a* white as a polar bear on the date of his one thousandth birthday. They alto believe in a species of fox which if it lives to be 50 years old without having been clmsed by a dog transforms itself into a lieautiful woman. This same fox, if he can man age to live for a century, gains additional powers, such as becoming a wonderful wizard, etc. When he lives to be 1,000 years old, he becomes a “celestial fox," with nino golden tails, and has tne jKjwer of going to heaven and returning when ever he chooses. These Japs also believe in a multitude of animals distinguished by their mon strous size or by the multiplication of their members. Among these are ser pents 800 feet long and large enough to swallow an elephant; boxes with eight legs; monkeys with four ears and seven tails; fishes with 10 heads attached to one body, the ioeh of this last monster being a sure cure for boils, bites of poisonous serpents, hydrophobia, etc. — Philadel phia Press. The Club of the Future. A growing opinion is that the coming club will be the mixed one, where men and women will study together the ques tions that present themselves and work out together the problems of the day. And this, it is asserted, w ill not be s consolidation of the distinctively wom en’s and men's clubs as they now exist but a merging of the best elements t each into fresh organizations. Following this mixed clnb sentiment it is net surprising to find Mr. Stead in a London journal advocating “co-op erative homes for the unmarried.” By this he means that the co-operative homes for spinsters and those for bache lors should combine their huusekeeping arrangements into a sort of idealized boarding house, where Mrs. Grundy would be appeased with "an experienced lady housekeeper" and where companies of detached or unattached men and women could find congenial acquaint ance. The limitations of the word con genial Mr. Stead insists upon and ad mits that this matter of selection is the weal/ point in his scheme. The motion In any form grows out of a recognized drifting apart of the sexes under the changed condition of things.—New York Times. The Interior of the Mormon Temple.
