From the Telephone Record. What a commotion it would create, and .'?in what a ridiculous position a person ‘ would place himself who would rush into an office and brea thlessly accost the first person he met with the following: “Hello, Hello, who are you ? Get out not‘ my road. ‘I want-to speak to Mr. Jones. 3Hello, Hello." In sounds very ridiculous and it, does mot seem as ifanyone in his right senses would do such a thing; nevertheless it's done many times a day, and the tele- gphone transmits many such impolite and Evimpatient conversations. It is hard to understand how the salu- “a'tation “hello” became so generally used. It matters not whether it is the presi- dent of a bank or a corner grocer who is 'being called. the almost invariable salu- ‘tation is “hello”. To say the least it is :an undignified manner of addressing the president, and most of us Would be very much shocked at ourselves if we were so familiar as to salute the grocer or his ~clerk so when we enter the stores. If we look around we find that the French salutation “J 'ecoute" (I listen) iis superfluous. and the English is quite :as senseless, for We are told that they :say “Are you there ?" But there is a most agreeable mode of beginninga tele- aphonc conversation which many people :are now adopting. as it is at the same ‘time most courteous and word saving. In using this method the telephone is :answered thus: “Morton & Company, Mr. Baker speaking.” The person calling then says: “Mr. "Wood of Curtis & Sons wishes to speak ‘to M r. White." This method does away entirely with iinnumeruble “Hellos”. “Who is this ?" '“Whom do you wish to speak to", and like annoying and time killing phrases. Then when Mr. White comes to the telephone it is not at all necessary for lhim to say “ Hello ” ; he knows that Mr. ’Wood is waiting for him.‘ How with Good morning Mr. Wood. It's more than probable that if Mr. Wood had chosen to visit his office instead of calling by tele- phone. he would have welcomed him with a most genial handshake. It is a particularly nice thing to send that hand shake over the wire with courteous words spoken in a clear, pleasant, “I'm- glad-‘you-called" voice. Three factors are mainly responsible for the discourtesies only too com- mon in telephone usage, and the lack of consideration shown to the telephone operators on whom a great part of the ' discourtesies are practised. First, the lack of personabelement, because, not being face to face, the sense of a human personality at the other end is lost. Second, although nearly every one uses the telephone nowadays, there are many people who do not know how to use it properly: and together with these there are many more who are absolutely ignorant of the methods of operating and who are very willing to charge every fancied or real trouble to the negligence of the operator. Third. the inability to ascertain by seeing, what is actually going on at the other end of the line when there is a wait of a few moments, arouses an impatience which is a potent cause for a great deal of telephone discourtesy. It seems strange that a man will brow- beat a telephone operator because a number is busy or the party is busy or lhe party is slow in answering. The same man would probably be most polite to this girl if she were his stenographer, and no matter what mistakes she made, he would never think of speaking to her as he does to the operator. It is the more to be regretted because in most cases the operator is not all to blame, and therefore it is good for the public to know and understand the telephone . problems and methods. But that is no ' excuse ,, for discouresy, as a little 'ei‘swableness, a little forbearance, and l a realization that the person at the other end feels the slap as keenly as if the angry words had been said face to face, instead of to a shining metal in- ntrument, will bring about kinder, more polite and altogether more successful telephone dealings. Disconrtesy may be shown in actions, even though the “other end” cannot see our actions. The woman who keeps the telephone bell ringing for five minutes and more at a stretch before she will deign to answer, shows as much discour- tesy as if she kept her caller waiting on the door step. The man who impatiently sends an ofiice boy to answer the tele- phone bell and then, when the caller is announced, goes on with his affairs until he gets good and ready to answer, is grossly discourteous. He might at least, if his afi'airs are very pressing, instruct his boy to tell the caller to call again a. little later. Still more discourteous is the man who orders an employee to get some one on the telephone for him and then, when the desired party is secured, keeps him waiting many minutes. Both the latter instances are a fruitful source . of the busy report. Many people having party line service forget all about etiquette when they use the telephono,‘and discourteous conduct seems to be the rule rather than the ex- ception. How surprising to lift the receiver, imagine that you hear the oper- ator state your number, and hear your nearest-neighbor whom you had believed a most kind ladyâ€"snap “get off the line. Can't you hear that I am using it ? What do you think of that? Hasn’t he a nerve coming on like that ?" Then there is the man who, coming on the line at the same time as the other party, tries to bulldoze the latter to let him have the line first. Though he is apparently a gentleman face to face, it does not matter now if the other party is a woman, he will not give her the right of way. More surprising and inexplicable still is the discovery that many people, and (let us whisper it) eSpecially women, think nothing of eavesdropping over the telephone. Their sense of honor has not been aroused, perhaps, or it may 'be that some folks still think of the telephone as a novelty, a toy made simpl y for fun sake. Telephone conversations are generally ended rather politely. Most folks simply say “Good bye”, and there is little room for discourtesy. True, one cannot shake hands ; neither, alas for the lovelorn swain who uses the telephone by the hour, can one kiss ; but altogether it is true. There are men and women 'who will abruptly end a conversarion if it is not to their liking, by jamming down the receiver with a crash that nearly breaks the ear drums of the listener. This is as bad as kicking a person down the stairs or slamming the door in- his face, but most of those who do this would never try such undignified and unmannerly methods on any person visiting them, no matter what the offense. ' In a word, it is obviously true that what is the correct thing to do in a face to face conversation is also correct in a telephone conversation, and anyone has but to apply the rules written and pres- cribed for ladies and gentlemen, long years before the telephone was first thought of, to know the proper manners for telephone usage.

The village of Mogantie lies on both sides of a‘littlc river Separating the county of Beaucc from the county of Compton, in the Province of Quebec, and is close to the American boundary line. From this little village comes the Rev. E. C. Watson, who has been appointed to thePresby‘terian Mission Field, includ- ing Haliburton, Twelve Mile Lake, Allé saw and Minden, with the residence at Minden. Megantic'has become famous through the recent victory for Local Option, of which the Rev. Father Choq- nette is the acknowledged hero, but ably assisted by the Rev. Mr. Fuller, English Church clergyman, and Rev. E. C. Watson. the Presbyterian minister of that place. The vote taken recently after a long struggle stood 160 for Local Option and one solitary vote against it. This is one of the greatest victories for prohibition on record, and it is really note worthy, as it shows what can be done by united action. Another feature of the fight was the union of the Roman Catholic and Protest- ant forces towards the suppression of the vice of intemperance. ' Thexreason why some towns grow is because there are men of push and energy in them who are not afraid to spend their time and money to boom their town. They erect substantial buil- ings, organise stock companies, and establish factories, secure railways, work for public improvements, and use every means in their power to induce people to settle in their city. Wherever they go they tell of the advantages of their town, they write about them in every letter, they send circulars and newspapers to all whom they can get to visit the town, and when anyone visits them treat him so kindly that he falls in love with them and their town, at once. It is enterprise and all pulling together that makes aprogrcssive town, and don‘t let the fact escape your memory. ‘ _ MAKES HMB crow. W. H.
