For the purpose of in- augurating these benefits the Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph com- pany made an initial appropriation of $2,000,000. There are about 200,- 000 employes—men and women—in the service of the companies con- cerned who will be directly or in- directly affected by this provision. The plan has been elaborately work- ed-out and will, it is believed, result in the increased happiness and bet- terment of employes. In thirty-three different states there are public service and other state commissions which supervise the telephone service. This super- vision is entirely distinet from the supervision of the interstate com- merce commission. The report con- tains thé interesting letter addressed by Attorney General Wickersham to the chairman of the interstate .com- merce commission at Washington touching the activities of the com- pany and also the order made by the interstate commerce comm on as of January 13, last, directing that a thorough investigation be made “con- cerning the history, the financial operations, the rates, rules, regula- tions and practices of telephone and telegraph companies subject to the act to regulate commerce, Wwith a view to the making of a comprehen- sive report and to the issuance of such order, or orders, as may be nee- essary to correct such discriminations and make applicable reasonable Tates and practices.” The policy of the; company, as in the past, will be to co- operate with the examiners conduct- ing this investigation and to aid pub- lic officials In every possible way in their effort to ascertain the real facts respecting the telephone service of the United States.

Dreaming in his bed at the York hospital of the runaway accident of a few weeks ago, which had laid him up with a broken leg, William H. Smeich, & York man, suffered quite.as serious consequences as in the 'actual~ runa- way. His leg was in splints and the bones were knitting well, but as he reached that part of his dream where the runaway bore down upon -him Smeich tried to profit by his previous experience and leap aside. He gave an actual leap, which carried him over the edge of the bed. and awoke in great pain with his leg again broken at the place of the first fracture.—- York (Pa.)

FRUIT BOUQUETS FOR EATING Edible Nosegays Take Place of Flow ers at Many Social Functions in New York.~ Fruit bouquets are replacing . those composed of flowers at society func- tions in New York.. They are arrang- £d in the old-time’ nosegay shape, the different colors in circles, and the whole framed in or mounted on white lace paper. These fruit bouquets are used at luncheon and dinner parties; a bouquet is usually provided for each guest. Small bouquets of muts and raisins are also placed by the side of each guest’s plate.~ An attractive arrangement of small fruits includes red apples with tiny comfits. The apples are placed in the center and formed into a pyra-| mid, and the comfits are arranged round them'in two or three circles. Two kinds of grapes, the clear, dark red and pale green translucent varie- ties, make a most attractive bouquet. The bouquets are, of course, frequent. \y eaten. It Depends.
