TELEPHONE TALK How to Become an Exptrl in This Art. To be a good telephone talker is something of an art, but in these days it should by all means, be cultivated us much as uny of the methods of polite conversation. The first requisite is the proper pose. In all cases the transmitter should be us nearly vertical as jiessible with the funnel and directly opposite the center on if levo] with the lips when the head is in the ordinary arched position of conversation.

Then the lips should be held about an inch away from the funnel und directly opposite its center. The speaker should talk in a tone slight ly above the ordinary conversationa pitch, about the same as if speaking to a person across the room. But more than all, oare should be taken to talk slowly and articulate with the greatest distinctness; to be deliberate in what one says und to make ample pause at the end of each sentence.

MOSTLY ALARM Two Narrow Escapes Averted Yesterday Coffee & Mangold and Kaiver & Friedman Escape Without a Scratch. The tire whistle at the water works station blew out the dismal call last evening about nine o’clock that there was a fire in our city and there was, but it was only a slight one and Kaiver & Freidman, of the Hub, were the victims. Dr. J. Q. Neptune was the first one to notice it as the smoke came rolling into his office np stairs. The only theory of cither of the mem bers of the firm is that it was spontanions combustion. The fire start ed in the cellar near a window’ that faces on the alley and at this particular place was accumulated some wet muddy straw and the fire is supposed to have started there. When the fire company arrived on the scene there was absolutely no blaze but a large volume of smoke issue forth but this was confined absolutely to the back room and not a bit of it reached the stock and there is no damage whatever. It might have resulted in a serious conflagration had not the acute smelling sense of Dr. Neptune came into good play.

The keen eye sight of Noah Mun gold, u member of the firm of Coffee & Mangold yesterday in all probability averted a very serious tire. It seems that when the room was papered the piper hangers forgot to place in a fine stop and just papered over the hole and during the day, Martin having a good lire in his bakery and his pipe joining to the same chimney became so thoroughly heated that it ignited and before it was noticed had accuinulaed quite a little fire among the doll boxes and other combustible material that sat direcly under this chimney hole and when Noah saw the same it,, had gained a little headway. Instead of sounding the firealarm he soon had the. fire under control and out. The damages from the same will amount in the neighborhood of about t wenty five dollars which is fully covered by insurance. Tne tire came in a very' appropriate time as their insurance expired today at noon and they would then have sustained the actual loss.
