A Want of Openness in Business, From Our Continent. One frequent cause of trouble in married life isa want of openness in business matters. A husband marries a pretty, thoughtless girl, who has been used to taking no more thought as to how she should be clothed than ine Iilies of the field. He begins by not liking to refuse any of her requests. He will not hint, so long as he can help it, at care in trifling expenses—he does not like to associate himself in her mind with disappointments and self-denials. And she, who would have been willing enough, in the sweet eagerness to please of her girlish love, to give up any whims or fancies of her own what- ever, falls int6 habits of careless extravagance, and feels herself injured when, at last, a remon- strance comes. How much wiser would have been perfect openness in the beginning! ‘We have just so much money to spend this summer. Now, shall we arrange matters thus or thus ?” was the question I heard avery young h sband ask his still younzer and all the wo nd_upon it seling pro spised, thouzh hitherto sI brid nhood In her an: not long red to us has wedded Vulcan, be- cause Vulean prospered at his forge=but mar- riages where two true hearts have set out together, for love's sake, to learn the lessons of life, and ‘to live together till death shall part them.

Where Topers Go in New Vork—Singed Lashes and Eyebrows Restored—The Vanity ofa Women with a Cork Leg— How a Young Man with ng Lashes Shuts his Eyes—a Qucer Business. On 4th street, not far from Broad- way, is a certain show window, in front of which not less than ten thousand people stop every day. The window is rather larger than usual, projects outward in bay form, und is lined in- side with plate-glass mirrors. Suspended in the center of the window by fine, almost invisible wires, are two cork legs which, oper- ated by clock work, move in an up-and-down motion as in walking. On shelves of thick glass, supported by depending wires, is the curious collection that attracts the thousands of pas- sers-by. Noses, eyes, cars, joints of limbs, all arranged in a certain kind of order.

He was not very much mashed on the dog any of the time and it hurt him to see her caress the brute, but he une when they were once married he would take the dog by its hind leg and knock ite brains out against a lamp post. Her dog was a her dog,and that fact annoyed the lover more than would have been the case otherwise. But the young man enyoyed himself much, in pressing his.suit, or his girl's suit, rather, of an evening, after the dog had gone tosleep and been put in its crib. He would sit on the veranda with the object of his adora- tion, and gaze out across the lake front park at the stately ships as they went by, and as one big ship would seem to be hugging close to the shore, he would sug her—not the ship—and she would hug back, according to Hoyle, and then she would sit on his lap, and he would sit in hers, and then he would get nervous and go home. There seemed to be something biting him, He could keep his nerve onthe board of trade, though wheat went against nim, but when his girl got against him he felt a yearning to scratch himself, a vague longing to get up and go away. vent toa doctor and was examined, and the doctor charged him five dollars for the informa- tion that he was covered with fleas. He could not believe it until he went to his room and got his room-mate to help him catch a quantity of fleas. Then his soul was upinarms. There wasacertain pleasure in the thought that he had caught the fleas from the one he loved, but when he reflected that she had caught them from the dog,and the dog had caught themtrom another dog, and that the other dog hadcaught them from an Italian, and the Italian had caught them from a monkey, and 80 on back, he was sick. That evening he called on his girl, and, as she rushed into his presence, and was going to throw herself, dog and all, into his arms, with a frightened iook, and a cry as though the house was coming down, he said: “Stand back! There is that about you that crawls, and hops, and bites. You have got fleas!” > “Sir!” sald she, her eyes flashing with fire, “this Insolence shall cost you dear.” “I have no fleas. Why dost thou accuse me of fleas?” and the tears came to her eyes, but she wiped them away with the dog, and controlled her emotion. “For months I have had something about me each time I went trom your side that has made me pay attention,” said he, mustering up courage to speak, ‘‘and I have found that it is fleas. You hold that dog, and the fleas leave him to meander about your system, picnicking by day and going for me at night. When I come to you every flea comes to me fora square meal, They come forth like flowers, from your neck, your corset, your shoes. The woods are full of them, and my life is a burden. Unless you swear off keeping a dog, and rid yourself of fleas, all between us must be at an end. It must be no dog and no fleas, orno Ike. Which shall it be?” e thought long over the matter, her eyes looking inte the future, but did not answer. He was a good match and was long on pork, but she could not make up her mind to part with her dear dog, that cost her $100. Finally a bright thought struck her, and she offered to compromise by ‘ing insect powder. His heart. had seemingly been turned to stone, and he told her he could’ not consent to any compromise, and, leaving the house, he gave her two days to decide. The next day he saw her at a mati- nee with a hotel clerk, and the clerk was con- stantly feeling up his sleeves or down for something, and he thinks she still keeps the dog. Thus two hearts will be broken—Chicago hearts, too—by the poodlesdog. = — Birthdays. 1 am content ‘Mo let the added years Phat come to me, Roll back tuto the past so far That memory Can only find along the shore Some perfect shells, and nothing more, Dits of wreek S ETAY, Would be to cherish griet and pain I would not, must not feel again, I,m content, The Professor smiled proudly. t so,” he said.” “By to-morrow will be one ot the prettiest Gre- jah Noses you ever saw.

The fainily physician was sent for, and wanted to make a nose from the arm, but, aside from the pain of that operation, the uncertainty of turning out a well-shaped nose raised objections, and L was ordered to prepare a wax substitute. “Do you mean by ‘natural meat substitution’ a real nose of flesh?” I asked. “Certainly. ‘The skin is removed from a cer- tain portion of the arm, the proper preparations made, and the arm then bound tightly over the missing nose. The flesh soon adheres to the face, then the arm is detached and the nose is shaped. The advantage of this style of nose, while it may not be so shapely as its predeces- sor. is its durability. It will never come oft. Now, @ wax nose will look very pretty, and when her friends see Miss B— they will proba- bly be more than ever in love with her beauty but it doesn’t last, and will need constant re- pairing. It is scarcely so good as a celluloid. Have you ever read Poe's ‘Story of the Wax Nose?" Well, it may be exaggerated, but ther is a great deal of truth init. Miss B— could never live in a very hot climate. Her nose might melt, and would certainly sotten.” “This is yery interestiag, Professor,” I re- marked, “but i8 not your business sinall?_ 1 do not recollect seeing many people with artificial noses. “This branch of my business fs not large. We have, however, a good deal of repairing on old noses. The demand for legs and arms is steady and pays well. In addition to the number of people needing cork limbs, the limba must be totally renewed every few years, and that keeps business up.” Do you often have to fit ladies with cork take their measure. Great precision and care is necessary. Great skill is required to make the cork of exactly the same size and length as its fellow. The more perfectly this is done the less limping you will observe.” “‘Are ladies hard to piease in the selection of limbs?” > “A lady came to me once and ordered the foot of her cork leg a size smaller than her natural foot.

It is altogether a mig- take to suppose women more vain than men. Not long ago I had an order from a young man of this city for a three-quarter-inch dark brown lash.

If you will step this way I will show you through our operating rooms,” and, entering a door, the Professor led me through a suit of spacious apartments. A number of young women working at small tables, each table covered with little instru- ments and things, the like of which I had never seen before. On some of the tables were noses in different stages of completion—some were Just out of the mold, others were modeled and turned, awaiting the fessor’s finishing touch. At one table two girls were threading needles with fine, ay ea and sewing them in little squares on a thin, transparent gauze. “These girls,” said the professor, “are mak- ing some of those beautiful arched eyeorows you may sometimes see in ball-rooms.

From Chambers’ Journil. The patient, a pretty little girl of eight, was admitted into the Wellington ward of St. George’s hospital with the history that, two years previously, her dress had caught fire, burning both fegs from the hips to the knees severely. Attera year’s treatment the left thigh had healed up; but the right hand never got better, and presented a terrible ulcer, ex- tending all down the outer side. She was a bright, intelligent little thing, and her sad con- dition excited much sympathetic interest. For four months she lay there without any signs of improvement. Though nourishing food, with wine and strengthening medicines, was freely ad- ministered, and all manner of local remedies ap- plied, particularly that most excellent dressing, carded oakum, all was in yain; and when, the 5th of May. the child was brought into operating theater, and placed under the influ- ence of chloroform, it certainly appeared to us to be as unlikely a case to afford a fair criterion of a new treatment as could weil be imagined. Two small pieces of skin were ‘then snipped from the back with a pair of sharp-pointed scis- sors, and imbedded—planted, in fact—in the granulations or “proud flesh” of the wound- two tity atoms, scarcely bigger than a pin’s head, and consisting of little more than the cuti- ele or outer skin which we raise in blisters by rowing or exposure toahot sun. Five days later no change was visible; and by-and-by the opera- tion was considered to have tailed, since the pieces of skin had disappeared, instead of grow- ing, as had been expected. But 12 days after the operation two little white clcatrices appear- ed where the seeds had been sown; and in my notes I find that a week later these were big enough to be dignified as “islands ot new tis- sue.” The most wonderful part of it is that, not only did these islands grow :and increase rapidly in circumference, but,the:éact of their presence seemed to stimulate the. ulcer itself, which forthwith took on a healing aetion aroun its margin. Several more ‘were implant- ed subsequently, including yorselg from Mr. Poliock’s arm, from my own, and from the shoul- der of a negro; the last producing a white scar- tissue like the rest. In two months the wound was healed, and the little patient wag discharged “ Skin-grafting is now performed sally gical practice, and a special instrament—a com- bination of knife and scissors—has been invented for the purpose, It is impossiple to estimate the immense benefit of this discovery to.mankina in many different. aspects.

From the New York Mail. Elisha Gray, of Highland Park, near Chicago, the inyentor of the telephone, has been inter- viewed: “To what extent isthe telephone in use at present. Dr. Gray?” “The telephone is used in every civilized country on the globe. The number of instru- ments in the United States alone exceeds 220,000, and will reach 500,000 in tour years, probabiy.”” “What is the present rate of increase?” “Over 5.000 per month. * “To how many people do these give employ- ment?” “About as many as there are instruments in use,” “What recent place?” “Minor improvements are being constantly made. mostly in the conduct of the business. The fundamentals, however, remain as Bell, Edison and myself left them. Long lines are lengthening, so that most New England towns and cities are in telephonic communication with each other. The time is not far distant when the people of New York and Chicago will be able to talk with each other. In fact, the latter result Is dependent entirely on the completion of the postal telezraph company’s new line, now in process of construction.” “Is the manufacture of the telephone and its ion a monopoly?” 8, and one of very large dimensions. The capital stock of the various telephone compa- nies would not fall short of $30,000,000 par value. The market value of the whole would average considerably above par.” “Will you let alittle light on the growth of the monopoly? “It is an interesting history. The first tele- phone company was known as the Gray & Bart- ton company, started in 1869, with a capital of $2,000. From this sprang the Western Electric company in 1871, with a capital of now has manatactories at Chicago, Ne Boston, Indianapolis, Detroit, and at Antwerp, Belgium. Its ca 1 is at present $1,000,000. The American Spe Telephone compat organized under ( patents, and the can Bell Telephone company under Bell’s pat- improvements have taken ents. These did business at first independently, and then came on the extensive litication of which all the world was a_witnéss, Testimony was taken at all important points, and matters finally reached a terminus in the United States district court at Boston. The American Speaking and Bell companies consoli- dated, the latter purchasing the property and lines of the former, paying cash for all instru- ments and an annual royalty on each instra- ment then, in use or in the future to be manu- factured without regard to the patentee.

I had some forty patents relating to telephonic or acoustic transmission. Part of these, as I have stated, went to the above com- panies, and would realize upward of $3,000,000 alone.

Peculiarities of Its Manungement. Russian Letter to the Manchester Examiner. In Russia, a letter may be opened in its pas- sage through the post office by anybody and everybody. It is true that acts of this kind usually have the will of a minister for their au- thority. It is also well known that certain times and seasons are chosen for prying into correspon- dence for scraps of sedition and threads of con- spiracy. But it is none the less true that there is nothing in the regulations ofthe Russian post office to prevent the arbitrary and irresponsible acts of a minister from being imitated by the eciiregpe! orhis clerk. Thechances of a letter eine allowed to pass without interference are not visibly iter than the chances of its being opened. ‘Nor is there much ceremony in the process. The officials seem to dispense with that time-honored expedient of inquisitive lodging- house keepers—a steaming tea-kettle. The let- ter is simply slit for half its length—more if necessary—the contents removed and exam- ined, and the envelope finally fastened up with the gummed paper that forms the margin of sheet postage stamps. As there is not the slightest necessity for concealment, there is not the smallest attempt to disguise the act of inquisition, and the opened letter reaches its des- tnation with the evidence of its treatment writ- ten broadly, even triumphantly, across. its face. Opened communications are not, however, al- ways reciosed. On the evening of the assassi- nation of the late Emperor every letter passing through the St. Petersburg post office was opened and subsequently delivered—when de- livery took place—with a gaping slip in the en- velope, indicating the teverish haste with which the scrutiny had been conducted. inces, perhaps, post panic than in the capital, but theirvery distance trom the seat of government gives a precarious- ness tt postal communications from which the system does not suffer in centers like St. Peters- burg and Moscow. In the capital there le at least dispatch, even if accompanied by a disa- greeable torm of espionage; in the provinces postal’ cee is beset with much slowness and une postmasters have a habit. of detaining correspondence for at a time. From Astrakhan, for example, have just received at the same hour and mo- ment two letters, one of which was posted six days before the other. In country towns post office opening letters purely for the ore 1 = ly for pi themselves of focal secrets. If the post office emplo: itimatel consigned 40 the flames.
