"THE GREATEST INVENTOR.
A Draman Telia a Story Aboat the
" Wizard of Henla Park.
-.. A Blue line train was making a blue
streak through the Kew Jersey air.with
the cowcatcher of the locomotive point
ed toward New York cityand a drum
mer was talking right along ahead of
it as easy as the bird flies, says the New
York Sun. : - . t
' ' "I . want to say to you, gentlemen,"
. he was saying, "that Thomas Edison
is the greatest inventor in the world,
not only in the quantity .of his inven
tions, but in the quality of them, and
every new thing he turns out he gets a
patent on it before it is dry. Sensible
man is Tom, and a great snap is a pat
ent when the monopoly in it is yours,
gentlemen. I know what I'm talking
about, for I had one once that was a loo
loo, only.it wasn't big enough. But
Fm getting away from my tale,' as the
dog remarked when he barely got his
hind legs from under the wheels. I was
in Edison's town the other day and
heard a new story on him. New to me,
anyhow. Han over there that I sell
goods to, and won't lie except when the
fishing season is oh, told me, as an illus
tration of how absorbed Edison is in his
business, that one day Mrs. Edison came
to her husband in great g3ee and an
nounced that the baby had a tooth.
" 'Very well, -my dear," replied her
husband, never stopping a minute from
his work. I haven't got time to bother
with your affairs. You just run along
and get a. patent on it and have it?
charged to my account. "
. . .THEY HELPED JIM.
He Vl'aa Only a Little Bootblack and
Had Been 111.
The rich men who build hospitals are
. not the only benevolent ones.' The shoeblack-of
whom Dr. Talmafre tells this
story . showed a spirit of sweet uri
; selfishness:
"A reporter sat down on one of the
city hall benches and whistled to one pf
the shiners. The boy came up to his
work provokingly slow, and had just
begun, when a larger boy shoved him
aside and began the work, and the re
porter reproved him as being a bully,
and the boy replied: 'Oh,-that's all
right. I am going to do it for 'im. . You
see, he's been sick in the hospital more'n
a month ; so us boys turn in and give 'im
a lift.'
" Do all the boys help him ?' asked the
reporter.
"'Yes, 'sir; when they ain't got no
job themselves and Jim gets one, tney
turn in and heln 'im: for he ain't stroncr
. yet, you see.
" 'How much percentage does he give
you?' asked the reporter.
. "The boy replied: 'I don't keep none
of it. I ain't no such sneak as that.
All the boys give up what they get on
his job. I'd like to catch any feller
sneaking on a sick .boy, I would.'
"The reporter gave him a 25-cent
piece, and said : 'You keep ten cents for
yourself, and give the rest to Jim.' ,
" 'Can't do it, sir; it's his customer.
Here, Jim.' "
DECAY OF ANIMAL MATTER.
It la Something; More Than a Simple
Chemical Chance
A great many proofs, now more or
less familiar to most people, show quite
clearly that the decay of animal or veg
etable matter is not a simple chemical
change, inevitable in the nature of
things, but a violent interference with
the natural course on the part of hos
tile organisms, says. Longman's Maga
zine. The bacteria, which produce de
composition, are very minute plants,
which grow,' like mushrooms or molds,
upon organic matter, and which repro
duce their like with incredible rapidity.
Tyndall showed long ago that the
spores of these plants exist.in myriads
in the air, floating everywhere around
us; that they occupy all crannies and
empty places on the surface of the
.earth, and that they swarm. in their
millions in all Donds and cuddles. An
easy way ofproving that these spores
alone, and the plant colonies which
spring from them, are the cause of
putrefaction may be obtained by boil
ing beef tea in a test tube, so as to kill
the bacteria, and then, while the liquid
is still steaming, closing up the mouth
of the tube with a plug of cotton wool,
which admits the air but strains out
the germs of the putrefactive organ
isms. Under tnese conditions tee beer
tea will keep good for years, but if you
remove the plug it will begin at once to
putrefy. - - . ,
A Keat Gown.
r A simple gown, yet handsome, is of
fawn canvas, made up on the founda
tion and bordered on the foot with scroll
work of narrow silver braid. The body
shows open, work squares, worked in
gold to match. A high bodice, in the
fashionable deep rose- lace shot with
white, hhs a series of waved, converg
ing lines of narrow, white insertion,
starting from the shoulders and form
ing points down the front only a few
inches apart, embroidered at. each end
with black and pint silk certainly a
most original bodice. The coloring of
this is rather newer than the old pink,
for it has a dash of flame color in it.

NATURAL COKE.
It 1 Claimed There Is a Deposit of It
: la the State of Dtah.
1 In works of mineralogy it is learned
that there is such a product as natural
coke, but so far as known there has
but one deposit of this commodity been
found in the United States, and this was
in the vicinity of Richmond, Va. - '
Although the deposits of coal in Utah
are immense in their proportions, it was
never dreamed that among its commodi
ties of trade and commerce the state
could boast of beds of this natural coke,
but such is the case, however, and the
Salt Lake Herald i informed that a
short time ago a vein of this coke had
been discovered in a section of the coun
try about 140 miles south of this city,
and within 15 miles of a railroad.
This deposit crops out on the surface
for some distance, and a 25 to 30-foot
tunnel has disclosed.a.body of coke that
is all of five feet in width, and there is
every reason to believe that with depth
the size of this deposit will increase.
In quality the coke is all that could be
desired, and at the assay offices at which
it has been tested the statement is made
that it is a pure article, and that it is
even superior to the manufactured coke,
as it is entirely free from sulphur, bitu
men, and that it gives out no' smoke
when burned, and makes less ash than
the manufactured article.
The "new find, which is considered as
being among the most valuable that has
been made in the state, is' owned and
controlled by ex-Mayor K. N. Baskin
and several other Salt Lake gentlemen,
who have located 640 acres in the imme
diate vicinity . of the discovery. .. ' i
FORGET THEIR CHANGE. i
lien in a llnrry to Get Away After
Makloc Tliclr Pnrchnsea. "
A man entering a State street book
store, made several . small purchases,
threw down a dollar bill to pay for them,
and as soon as his package was handed
to him turned to go. out. The clerk
called T.fter him, says the Chicago
Times-Herald.
"Ei, there! . Don't you want your
change ?" and he handed the customer
the brs part of his dollar.
- "Thut happens every day," said the
clerk, a,nd v.-c cve quite an amount
it the end 06 the year to charitable or
ganizations from the fund created by
change that h:is not been called for.
It seems as' if customers have only
one idea, and that is to get their goods
and go away." ' - ;
"Do. they ever "come back for the
change?"
"Very rarely, and then it is always
for change that was left somewhere
else. I of ten -wonder how such people
get through the world. And another
funny thing is, the customer never
seems to expect the change when we
offer it to them, that is after he has
forgotten it. You saw, how that man
looked when we called him back
just as if I was making him responsible
for some other man's mistake. It takes
all kind of people to make a world."
Sinking; of Cape - Cod.
The Boston Transcript refers to the
recent indications that Cape Cod is
gradually sinking or wearing away.
A few days ago workmen at the Prov
incetown, pumping station found, 17
feet "below the level of the surface of
the ground and six feet below the sea
level a four-inch stratum of mold com
posed of decayed leaves, fibrous matter,
and fragments of tree trunks and
branches. This would seem to indi
cate the land has sunk, for. fresh water
is found on the cape at a level about
equal to the sea level at mean tides.
Eight Golden Wedding.
Eight golden weddings were cele
brated recently at Anderlues, near
Brussels. The whole town turned out
in honor of the occasion, they had a
public dinner and a ball, and each one
of the old people received the present of
an armchair.
WED EARLY IN LIFE.
Aares at Which Marriages May Be Ooav-
tracted in Europe.
In Austria a "man" and a -"woman'
are supposed to be capable of conduct
ing a home of their own from, the age
of 14. In Germany the man must be at
least 18 years of age. In France the
man must be 18 and the woman 15; in
Belgium the same. In Spain the in-
tended husband must have passed his
fourteenth year and the woman her
twelfth. In Hungary, for Roman
Catholics, the man must be 14 years old
and the woman 13; for Protestants, the
.man must be 18 and the woman 15. In
Greece the man must have seen at least
14 summers, and the woman 12. In
Portugal a boy of 14 is considered mar
riageable and a, woman of 12. In Rus
sia and Saxony they are a little more
sensible, and a youth must refrain from
entering into matrimony till' he can
count 18 years, and the woman till she
can count 12. In Switzerland the men
from the age of 14 and the womenjrom
the age of 12 are cllowcd to marry. In
Turkey any 3'outh and maiden who can
walk properly, and can understand the
necessary religious service, are allowed
to be united for life.
A Contly Joke.
British jesters sometimes pay dearly
fpr their jokes. . One who frightened
a married woman into fits by telling her
that her husband had been severely in
jured in a railroad accident has had to
pay $500 for the fun. ;.

CALLINU 1 Ht' DOCTOR.
People
Are. Kot Considerate of the
Phyaiclan'a Comfort.
Without intending to be so, people
are extremely inconsiderate to their
physicians, and unwittingly cause thenj
a great deal of trouble and weariness.
At a somewhat informal meeting of
doctors and nurses, held not long since,
for fie purpose of discussing the rela
tions between the two, some -very in
teresting facts were brought out and
talked over with that clearness of per
ception and directness that character
ize persons whose long familiarity wi th
ilieir business renders them expert..
"In the course of my duties as nurse;'
said a young woman who lias made a
name for herself, "I have observed that
imairinatioh and apprehension' have a
great.dcal to do with sending for doe
tors at unseasonable hours. As a rule
the sufferer might just as well wait un
til morning or send . before it is
late into the night. But fidgety and con
sequential folk seem to think that it
adds to their importance and the grav-
I'ity of-the situation if they rouse the
house at a time when everylHwy is or
.ought to be asleep and send some serv
ant or member of the family post haste
for medical aid." : - r . .- . ' -
When people are ailing they get tired
and nervous and fretful and out of joint
with everybody and everything. They
are to a ccrtaui extent entertained and
amused or at least occupied during the
day. Their thoughts are distracted in
spite of themselves, and they have less
nervous force to expend upon them
selves. When night comes and the
house is quiet they pre left more to
themselves, and their thoughts and
fancies run riot. They magnify their,
ills, and dwell upon their pains .and
give free rein to their fears.
We all know that by indulging our
selves we get into- apprehensive states
and fancy all sorts of dreadful things
when once, we give way to our feelings.
And it is especially so with sick per
sons. They begin to think and to worry
and wonder if they arc really growing
worse, and, if there is an extra twinge of
pain or a little faintness or undue nerv
ousness, they lose their heads at once,
and everybody -is roused to minister to
what is really nothing more nor less
than the legitimate result of too much
self-examiiiation and .too close atten
tion to .symptoms that would not be at
ill alarming if they were , not dwelt
jpon. .- '..'..-. ' v-
Of course there are acute attacks of
various diseases that demand instant
attention, but wjien the - doctor has
made one call he is usually quite well
qualified to state whether or nof there
are conditions that are likely to arise
that may give cause for.alarm. . '
"I have had many patients who could
with a little explanation and quieting,
be reconciled to waiting for the doctor
until morning," added the young
woman.
' "I have made it a rule in my tea
years' experience never to. send for a
physioian after ten o'clock at night or
before seven o'clock in the morning un
less there was imperative need of it.
Doctors "need rest and sleep just as
much as other persons, and it is mani
fest injustice to them to call them out
it night unless -it is absolutely neces
sary. -With reasonable consideration,
:he doctor will live longer and be more
valuable to his patients than if he were
dragged out afunseasonable hours and
upon frivolous, pretexts." N. Y. Led

V.. RUSSIAN HUNTING DOGS.
The Lalkaa Furnish' Food, Draw
- Sledges and Supply Clothing". .
Harding Cox writes about laikas, or
northern dogs:
"The duties of the true laika," h
says, "are of an extremely varied na
ture.. Among the Chinese about 1,000,
J00 are eaten every year, while in Rus
sia the beast is trained for all sorts of
hunting squirrels, bear, deer, snipe,
capercailzie, ermine,' sable and all the
ather beasts are taken with them, even
the wolves. It is estimated that nearly
1,000,000 ' rubles' worth of game is
taken with the aid of the laikas in Rus
sia. Prince Schirinsky, a Russian no
ble, is trying to get a cross between the
laika and some setter- or retriever, be
lieving that he would thereby obtain a
dog which would make as nearly a per
fect hunting dog as is vossible. .
"In the polar swamps the laika are
used in drawing sledges as well as hunt
ing by he natives, while their warm
pelts are made to serve as coats . and
trousers after death.
"The laika has an upright, pointed ear,
which the dog pricks when excited.
Che muzzle' is long and sharp, but pow
erful, set to' a broad forehead. The
body is strong and at the quarters
broad and powerful. The ribs are big
nd long. The chest'is djep and broad.
The legs are for running, while the coat
is thick,' having 'cotton' under-the hair,
which makes it warm. -''
"The chief colors are from black and
jlack and tan to grayish, but the dogs
we never spotted in the pure blood. A
few of these dogs can stop a bear or any
thing else easily. The-dog3 are just
ihort of two feet high." London Field.
