Mr. Thos. A. Edison, before his departure for Berlin, gave 10,000 france for the benefit of the poor of Paris. The deplorable condition of the agricultural population in Montenegro continues to occ: the attention of the government, but no plant practical relief has It been devised. ‘They say that there used to be a haunted Teure in Greene. The thing was broached to @ party in Lewiston one day recently, “I slept there three times,” said a Lewiston man, “The firsttime my bed clothes were pulled off at night by unseen hands.

That “sixteen calkers are down on that pay-roll as having made 382 days calking water mains.” Second. That the son of the superintendent is rated as a calker; that he is employed as a clerk in his father’s office, and that he is paid for Sandays.

Work is sometimes going on in as many as eight different parts of the city atonce. There onstant interruptions on account of the necessity of detailing a few men to localities where trouble is reported, and much time is necessarily lost in moving from Lapel to place, Qn account of this greatly varied character of the work, the men employed in extending and maintaining the pipe system have long been divided into two general classes, calkers and laborers, according to the skill or responsibility required of each. I do not see how this classi- fication can be improved upon. An equivalent division might be effected by rating them as first and second class laborers, but I can see no advantage in so doing.

He also tests all meters, valves, | {\yANTED— hydrants and other appliances, which are re~ quired tocome up to certain standards. He makes or assists in making all the joints neces- sary for such testing work. His rating as calker is believed to be entirely correct. His duties are extremely varied and no single term can better describe them than that by which he is designated. This young man has never been employed a day in his father's office, as a clerk or in any other capacity. His duties are much more those of a workman than ofacierk. In addition to the engineers, fore- men and watchmen necessarily employed on Sunday there is just as necessarily employed a foree of six men for emergencies, The services of these men on Sunday are as essential as those of the employes of the fire department. There are to be constantly watched and cared for about 200 miles of mains, containing at least 100.000 joints, 1,600 valves and 1,100 fire hydrants, A failure on the part of a single | one of these may at any moment eause great | ™ damage to property or cripple the fire dep ment. There are also certain streets in wi additional valves must be opened whenev fire occurs. Each man of the force named is required to report for duty and to hold himself in readiness during the whole of each Sunday to answer at once a summons to repair damage or to turn on higher pressure in case of a fire. Mr. F, V. Hayden balenes to this force.

An Operator Says He Is Not Conscious of the Click of the Instrument. From the New York Tribune. “Do I hear the click of my instrument?” said a telegraph operator when asked what was the sensation of receiving a message and writing it out at the same time. “Well, I suppose I do, else I could not take the message,but the sound does not make a noticeable impression on my ear. In fact, lam never conscious of the fact that there isa click. I do not associate the actual dot or dash with the letter. To me it isa letter itself. So when I am ‘receiving’ it is precisely the same as if some one was talk- ing tome. Most of the messages come along so rapidly, you know, that they make a run- ning conversation. Itis not precisely as if you were talking to me here, but rather as if you sat in one corner of aroom and spoke to me, This is so true that when a question ix asked an operator fancies that he hears the rising of MAN, POST jon as Working House Keeper in first-class family where therein fered help ot willing to do cook ing.
