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.

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.

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.

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.—

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.
The interior of the Mormon temp’,
has an air of mystery alxiut it. Up to

mitted to its sacred precincts, and none

there are portions of the interio r which
