I spoke, too, of your townsman, Mr. Sin: on Thompson, editor of The America, who is in the habit, of walking ten miles a day and running fif­ teen or twenty mo**.

It seems like witchcraft. “ Perhaps you would like to talk into it yourself?” the pretty girl asked in tho sweetest tones after she had treated me to cylinder after cylinder of songs and brass bands and exercise» I d the German lan­ guage. I said I thought it would be nice. Poshe put a brand new wax cylinder on the ma­ chine, nicely adjusted the mechanism and bade me speak into the mouthpiece. I never felt so bashful in my lifoT “ I don’t know what to say,” I stara titered after looking vacantly into the mouthpiece and then around «lie building and then into the bright eyes of the at­ tendant. “ Suppose you begin.” So she uttered a few remarks, and one or two other people took hold of the thing and said something, looking foolish all the while. Then I likewise took bold again. “ Say wluit you think of the phono- j graph,” suggested the young woman, see- I ingthat I ti lt my position keenly. “ The phonograph is—the—the phono- j graph is—a’’ I began in a frightened tone. “ You must speak louder,” she explained. Sol spoke louder, hut I didn't I.now what I said, ami I even sang a feeble little verse till people who bad been listening began to move away, with a wearied look on theii faces, and the young lady shut olT the power. “ Now, if you will listen through the tubes,” she continued, “ you will hear re­ peated all that has been spoken into it.” So I hearkened. The little machine burred ami whizzed and then began talk iug. I recognized the young lady’s re­ marks, and v. but the other people bad said, every note mid syllable exactly repro duced, and then the thing began to stam­ mer nnd halt und give forth what seemed to he the renmias of a young man with red hair and a blue necktie, who, never having been in public life, is unexpected y elected to preside at a parish meeting and lias tc return thanks for the honor couferred upon him. There were some hemming« and huwings, ami a number of whistling noises interspersed with eloquent pauses, and I could hear the instrument break forth into a cold perspiration as it finished the re­ marks. Chen I put the tubes carefully down. “ I am to understand, am I, that those concluding stanzas represent v.uut 1 spoke into the machine?” 1 asked r a mild and inoffensive tone. “ Just tlio same,” the young lady replied, with a faraway look in her eye. “ My tones, my words—every thing?” “ Everything,” she said. So that explains it. I know now why people do not aspire to sing oftener. 1 un­ derstand why they do not ask me to sing “ Ok, Promise Me” and “ Daddy Won't liny Me a Bowwow,” and such things at con­ certs, and why nobody ever comes to me when the regular tenor is away and asks me to take his place fer a Sunday in tho choir. I have felt hurt about these thing» and thought I was kept down by jealousy, but now my mind is cleared of a misunder­ standing Hint plight have lain upoi it for ever had not Mr. Edison invented his pho nograph. How grateful I am to him. “ And do I understand,” 1 said to the young lady, “ that this cylinder upon which 1 nave imprinted these remarks can be pre­ served?” “ For centuries,” she answered. “ And my voice, with the information it fails to convey, reprot 1 need indefinitely?” “ While the world lasts,” she said. “ But,” 1 pursued, getting anxious, “ 1 understand you can pare off that wax cyl­ inder, destroying the evidence, and use it for moro vital purposes. Am 1 right? “ Quite right,” she observed. “ M ias Edison,” 1 said in a trembling voice, “ I am not rich, jus meu count riches, but hero is $1.50” ---- “ Give yourself no uneasiness,” the young lady rejoined. ” 1 shall destroy the cylin dcr. We always do.” And so 1 eame .away You will never know what a weird, uncanny thing is your own voice until it conies out of a phono graph. You think you know its sound, but the sound you hoar when you speak is not what you bore other people with. I shall try not to talk so much hereafter. - w . o Fuller, Jr., iu Rockland (N. Y.)

Can mutton be more cheaply produced than beef/ As bearing upon this sabject j Stewart calls atteutiou to the fact that the sheep U a source of double income— I meat and WOOL He refers, too, to the ! experiments of Sir J. B. Lawes in refer­ ence to the percentage of food utilized or stored up by different animals, and these j experiments presented the sheep in a very favorable light. Of the dry food | consumed he found that sheep stored up j increased weight Id per cent., while cat­ tle only laid up in increased weight 8 per cent.—that is, eight and one-half pounds of dry food increased the live weight of cuttle. So that, relying upon these experi­ ments. sheep must be considered as ex­ cellent utilizers of food, as producing as many pounds of mutton, besides the wool, from a given quantity of food, as can be produced of beef: and as the best mutton brings as high a price as the beef, it would appear on this basis the sheep would give the fleece as extra profit over cattle, [f this is not too fa- ! vorable a view, the sheep on suitable ! lands must lie considered among the most profitable of farm stock. It is true i1 the dairy cow brings her profitable flow of milk to offset that of wool: but the dairy cow does not lay on flesh while producing milk, as does the sheep while producing wool. A fleece of five pounds of wool grown in a year requires only a daily growth of one-fifth of an ounce, which can take but a small portion of food to produce. The mineral matter taken from the soil by tho fleece is only 1.0 ounces per year, and if six half mut­ ton sheep represent a cow, tlio whole mineral constituents taken by the six fleeces would only be !).rt ounces, nnd about 19 pounds o f nitrogen, while the ordinary cow. yielding 4.000 pounds of milk, would take twenty-six pounds of miueral matter or ash and twenty-five of nitrogen, or forty-three times as much mineral matter and thirteen times ns much nitrogen as the fleeces of tho sheep. —Stockman. “ Thor? had born a great deal written about tho wonderful memories of hotel clerhs, but let me tell j*ou it’» all bosh,” said a well known member of tho craft. “ Of emin-e a clerk has to have a good memory, but 60 has any man in basi­ n' .-s. And it in quite true that training one’s memory in a certain line makes it more agile in that direction than the memory c f a man of different vocation i.j likely to be. But what I refer to is tho talk about the memory of the hotel clerk being phenomenal, and, to prove i:. citing instances how eeeing a stranger onco the clerk recognizes and calls him by name tea years later, though not hav­ ing teen him in tho interval. It’s non­ sense. And though the guest in ques­ tion may answer ’tis a fact, he is but de­ ceived by the regulation trick. You take sharp no&co some timo and you will see a man approach the counter. “ If that man has ever stopped at the hotel beforo he will recognize the clerk. And the clerk, seeing the spark of recog­ nition in the eye of tho guest whose name he doesn’t remember from Adam, holds out his hand and grabs that of the guest, shakes it heartily as with the other hand lie shoves the register to­ ward him and gives him a pen, at the snmo time firing at him a lot o f ques­ tions such as ‘ Well, where did you spring from this time? Where have you been all thij time? You are looking well; family ditto? How’s business? Want room with bath?’ and so on until the guest has registered. Then the clerk ring.) in tho guest’s name before tho own­ er has time to seo if it is spelled right. It*3 a simplo trick; but its performance not only causes tho one upon whom it is played to feel moro at homo, but to mar­ vel ever afterward at the wonderful memory of the hotel clerk.” —Chicago Post.
