Walked from Montana to
Orange.
"Why, you talk about cranks," said
Edison recently at Orange to a New
York World leporterj "I have more of
them come around here than any man
in the country. They come out with all
sorts of schemes which they want mi!
to puzzle -through. These long-haivecl
fellows, with dandruff on the shoulders
of their coats, meander around he'fe in
shoals. One of them got in here the
other day, and he was a walker, too.
Ho belonged out in Montana and got
the idea that he was the first man who
ever invented an electric light, and that
I had robbed him of it. So he came on
here to make me give up half the pro
ceeds, and he.'walked every foot of the
way. You ought to have seen him when
he got here.
"Some of the boys saw his trail down
stairs and followed him up and told him
I wasn't here but out at the mines, and
I'll be hanged if he didii't walk there.
When lie got out there- the foreman
we'd ponied him asked him if he hadn't
invented the arc light. The man from
Montana said he had. Then the fore
man told him that I had not invenled
the. am Ught, but that it hntl been in
vented ly Thonipsou. The Montana
man wanted to know where Thompson
was right away, and the foreman iold
him Thompson was down in Lynn.M.tss.
How do you get to Lynn? asked
the man from Montana. The foreman
told him the road and he BtarU'd to
tramp down there. I expect any day to
hear of his raiding the deuce there some
how. We have Vm here all the time,
but they don't bother me any."

THOREAU'3 COMPANIONS.
He Sfode Friends in the Forest with the
Life Around llim.
The mice which haunted my house
ere not the common ones which are
said to have been introduced into the
country, but a wild native kind not
found in the village. I sent one to u
distinguished naturalist,' and it inter
ested him very much. When I was
building, one of these had its nest un
derneath the house, and before I had
laid the second floor and swept out the
shavings would come out regularly at
lunch time and pick up the crumbs at
my feet. It probably had never seen .t
men before; and it soon became quite
familiar and would run over my shoes
and up my clothes. It could readily
ascend the sides of the room by short
impulses, like a squirrel, which it re
sembled in its motions. '
At length, as I leaned, with my elbow
on the bench one day, it ran up my
clothe., and along my sleeve, and round
nd around the paper which held my
winner, while I kept the latter close
find dodged and played at bo-peep with
it; and when at last I held still a piece
of cheese between my thumb and finger,
it came and nibbled it, sitting in my
hand, and afterward cleaned its face
and paws like a fly, and wnlked away
A phocbe soon built in my shed, and
a robin for protection in a pine which
grew against the house. In June the
partridge, which is so shy a bird, led
her brood past my windows from the
woods in the rear to the front of my
house, clucking and calling to them
like a hen, and in all her beluivior prov
ing herself the hen of the woods. The
young suddenly disperse on your ap
proach at a signal from the mother, as
if a whirlwind has swept 11-.i r.i away.
and they so exactly resemble the dried
leaves and twigs that mat y n traveler
has placed his foot in the midst of a
brood and heard the whirof the old bird
as she flew off, and her ttuxious mlN
and mewing, or seen her trnil her wings
to attract his attention, without kum-
ecting their neighborhocd. The parent
will sometimes roll ami spin round lie-1
fore you in such a dishnbille that you
cannot for a few momenta detect what
kind of a creature it is.
The young squat sliU and tint, often
running their heads' under a lent and
mimlonly their mot lur'sdirrctlonsgiveii
from a distance, nor will your aiiiiroch
iimke them run ngnln and lictray them
selves. I have held tlmm in my on'n
hand, and still their only care.olM'dienl
to their mother and their instinct, wan
to jvitiut there without, fisr or trem
bling. So ierft-ct is this instinct that
onee, when I laid them on the leaves
again, ami oim aci-ldi'titnlly fi ll on its
side. It was found with the rest In ex
actly the same- position ten miiiut-
afterward. The remarkable adult, vel
innocent, exprvasion of tlieiriH-u and
aereue ryes is verv inrniorniiie. -am in
telligence see mi reflected lu them. Tli-y
suggest not merely the purilv of In
fancy, but si window rlnriflitl by ex-ra-rk-nee.
Such an eye was not lmrn
when the bird ws, lint Is coevsl with
the sky it reflrrts. The wood do nol
ylfid another such gem. Thoreau's

men or any person having to lo with
the ronds about their rapid transit. He
was traveling one afternoon qn an ex-
ception-nlly slow train, which came to
a stop every sow and then' without any '
ipj:arci:t cause. After expressing him
;clf very r.t;di1ly to the passengers, lu
resigned himself to the ir.cvitalde anc1
.tozed off into short aps, which were
interrupted by the sundry jerks of the
train, at which lu complained. The pas
sengers showed their annoyance at
these complaints by angry looks. The
last apology had been that the cattle ob
structed the track. The train, had
started again and proceeded aliotit ten
minutes when it halted with a jerk. Up
walked the impatient traveler and
petulantly remarked: "Dear, dear! 1
huppoi-e, conductor, this worse than
slow train hns struck another herd of
oattle." "Struck another one! Not
much," , replied the conductor. "We've
simply caught up again w ith the first
herd we ran into; that's nil." The trav
eler tmbsided and the conductor was left
in peace.
OYSTER FAMINE PREDICTED.
A Dealer uys tho Ueds Are Bare to Be
l'.xlinutted.
"Oysters will be a very rare delicacy
in a few years," said an oyster man ot
New Y01 k to a Woshington. Star report
er. "Kor many years the beds were
preserved to a large extent by having
an oyster season and keeping alive the
popular idea that oysters were not good
except from September to April. Tliif
gave four months during which the
oysters were left alone and allowed bi
increase. As a mntter of fact, I thinl
theyi are a little better during thosr
four months thap nt any other time.
This was iirs-t discovered by the seaside
hotel men, and oysters were served dur
ing the summer months. The guests
demanded bivalves when they re
turned to their homes, and now in nl'
eastern cities the signs of 'Fresh
Oysters' are ns numerous In July
and August ns In January and Febru
ary. The new demand is being sup
plied, and at no time are the beds left
undisturbed. It is now only n question
of a few years before the oysters are
gone, and nil because- the summer rinorl
hotel men disabused the minds of the
people as to their not being good to
eat from April to September."

4AD6OLWTEE4V PURE
A WONDERFUL
Has a
Stem Bomctlmee Three Hundred
Feet Long.
One of the most extraordinary sea
weeds among the Laminariacese is the
Nereocystis, the stem of which occasion
ally attains a length of 300 feet, though
extremely slender, even at the top,
where it is surmounted by a huge float
ing bladder six feet or seven feet in
length, that affords a favorite resting
place to the sea otter. . This plant is
found on the northeast coast of
America and the opposite shores of
Asia. The filiform stem, which is
about as thick as pack-thread, sudden
ly swells above, when two feet or three
feet long, into a globose bladder, from
the top of which springs a tuft of ger
minate leaves mostly rising on five
petioles. As the plant grows older the
stem increases enormously in length,
but only slightly in thickness. The
globose bladder swells Into a turnip
shaped or retort-like cyclinder, six feet
long and four feet six inches or more in
diameter in the widest part, the lower
extremity gradually passing into the
Btem. The leaves, which at first werp
marked with a few faint nerves, split in
the direction of the latter, eover a wdde
space by their entangled mars, and at
tain, a length of 30 feet or more. When
the plant grows in any quantity, it
arms large floating islands, and the
surface of the sea becomes Impassable
to bouts. The stem, when dry, Is em
ployed by the Aleutians for fishing
lines, some of which have a length of
40 or more fathoms. The large bladders
are used by the same people as syphons
for pumping water out of their boats..

GOT EVEN WITH THE BOY.
How the Bookkeeper (lot Tils lleveng
on the Slangy Messenger.
This is the story of a crusty book
keeper and a bad, bad messenger boy.
Tho bookkeeper is employed in a largj
Chestnut street house. The messenger
boy is a part of the mighty service of
the Western Union Telegraph company,
says the Philadelphia Record. The boy
crawled into the ofiice where the book
keeper sat at his desk early yesterday
morning and asked .for Mr. C , the
head of the firm.
"Oot a message?"
"No," said the boy; "a man asked me
to come here and see if he was in.
"Well, he's out," snapped tiie book
keeper. "I'll wait," said the boy.
"What for?" inquired the other.
"Cat fur," retorted the boy, quickly.
The bookkeeper looked bock for a
minute, then he said: "All right, wait,"
and went on with his work. The boy
sat down and began to whistle "Paradise
Alley." He fidgeted around and sang
n bit just to tease the bookkeeper. The
latter paid no attention to him. The
boy grew weary after an hour or o,
and finally he asked:
"Say, when's dc main guy o' dia place
cumin' back?"
"Don't know," said tha bookkeeper,
without looking up.
"Where's e at?" asked the boy.
"In nuroe," said the other.
Then the bad boy used language that
thoroughly proved his badneaa and
mude it necessary for the porter to
ject him.
