Heis a clever adaptor but nothing more. He is to the world of science what Boucicault is to the dramatic world, Neither the one or the other ever originated an idea in their lines, but each is wonderfully ex pert in elaborating and improving on the crude efforts of others. There has been more nonsense written about Edison than probably any other living man Ho sprang into fame with a bound though for soveral years previcus he had been prominentin " tho development of electrical acience. 1t was the phonograph that first brought Edison wealth and glory. There was nothing tn the phon- ograph per ge. but the advertising it gave him was immense. After its utility had been demonstrated, no one doubted Edi son’s capacity to perform wondors, 1f he had announced his ability, through the aid of some new invention, to place him- self in communication with the inhab- itants of the planets of Jupiter and Mars there would have been found plenty of peoplo ready to believe him. There are dozens of telegraphersin the service to- day who knew Edison away back in the '60's when he earned a living us the boys express it, ‘‘pounding brass.” Itis doubtful if one of this number will dissent from the writer's statement that while Edison possesses great adaptability, ho is totally lacking in creative power, His gold and stock printing instrument—his first invention —was merely an Improvement on onc that had been in general uso for a yem or two previous. The quadruplex in- strument, which quadruples the carrying capacity of a telegraph line, is the logica) sequence of the ‘‘duplex,” which Stearns, the Boston electrician, evolved from hu cunning brain. The phonograph wis an accident, 1t was suggested to Kdison while experimenting with the telephone. The first phonograph was a heavy anc cumbersome affair, After it was com- pleted Edison tinkered over it a whole day trying to make it work. Not suc- ceeding as ho thought, he throw it into « corner, whero it lay for some woeks One of Edison's assistants found it lying there on ono occasion and after ad justing it carefully ho was overjoyed to discover he could gain a slight veproduction which Idison’s partial deafness had preventeo HHoY TRYSE!

The telo phone which bears Edison’s name is not an original production. There are half & dozen claimants to its paternity, but Klisha Giray, of Chicago, is probably en- titled to as much credit for its inception as any other American citizen. It had been evolved and taken shape long be- fore Edison dreamed of it as a possibility. The wsame ‘may be said of the electric light = and all the other inventions with which his name is associated. Years ago Tom Edi- son and the writer were lads together in the old Western Union telegraph office at Cincinnatl. Edison was at that time as sorry & specimen of humanity as one would wish to see outside the gates of an almhouso or prison roformatory. He was about 18 or 20 years old, Ho was tall for his age, knock-kneed, loose- jointed, and awkard to a degree that was painful to behold. His arms were long, and his hands obviously were « great embarassment to him. Hlis man- ner{was shy and diffident. When he spoke he uttered his words in a low tone aftor the fashion of peoplo whoso hear- ing is partly dofective. It is impossible to concetve of a man who was moro care- less about his personal attire. The messengers in the company’s employ were recruited from the ranks of the stroot gamina of that dirty and smoke-bo- grimed city, but there was not one of their number who would have been seen in Edison’s clothes outside of the oflice. Ho would put on a shirt and woar it un til no Jaundry would receive it and thon throw it dside, when it was practicable, to bog or borrow another. How ho lived was an inscrutable mystery, Ho never set foot within the precinets of a board ing housoe during tho whole of his resi dence inCincinnati, He used to sloep in the oflico whenever it was possiblo, and thus avoid paying room ront. This was easily accomplished, inasmuch as he belonged to the night force and was usually the last to go off duty. Ho was very unpopular with his associates. The principle reason for this was hisjdisreptu- ablo appearance, which made it & severo ponance to recognize him on the streot, His miserly habits, too (for it was sup. posed ho must save every penny sinco ho was never known to spend one), got him in bad odor, and would of itself have been sufficient to damn him in the eyes of & profession which regarded a man as mean and unworthy of respect who was mot eternually “broke” and ears over head in debt. But little poor Edson’cared. He was as oblivious to the sneers and snubs of his fellow-operators as if such a thing as so- cial ostracism never existed. Ho had two or three friends in the oftice, of whom the writer was one; but nover a word es- caped him about his private aflairs, His salary was §110 a month, and it is no ex- aggeration to say that his total expenses for the year would not exceed that sum, Finally the manager said 1t was disgrace- ful for a man drawing that salary to sleep in the office, Whether he rented a room or what he did cannot be said, but it was not a infrequont occurrance for him to call at the writer's room long after mid- night, when he had finished his work,and beg permission to sleep on the sofa. The request would usually be greeted with howls of disgust from the other occupants of the chamber, but to this he gave little heed. *““May 17" he would ask, flxing his melancholy eyes upon his one friend in the room, and at the same time rub- ing his'blg red hands together to restore ho ciroulation. The good-nutured young- ster thus appealed to woutd end the dis pute by throwing Edson a blanket, and a minute later he would be curled up uuder| ita folds anoring away as contentedly as if fate had reserved for him its fairest and brightest offerings, Edison was » splendid operator, That is to say, he was phenomenally clever as a receiver,but he counld not “‘send” at all. He used to copy the Associate press dis- patches and would amuse himself in the intervals of rest by drawing all sorta of ridiculous caricatures on the margin of the sheet. The boya thought it very funny, but the telegraph editors proba- bly regarded it as an unmitigated nu sance. Edison would copy the dispatch- es at the highest rate of spoed and print the text. The handwriting was round and uniform. It seemed to no effort to copy in this manner for a whole eve- ning, which he usually did, though his | chirography at times was pure Spenceri- | an. Finally he drifted down to where it seems he was regarded less as a social pariah than amustng charac ter. Here, too, his budding talent re its firsv real developement from ion with men like Moses (i, Far. mer, Gieorge D, Milliken, and other elec tricians note. Their intellizence showed them that this uncouth western boy was a veritable rough diamond, and to their well directed efforts is Fdieon in- debted to his first real start in life. Ina short time he abandoned his calling as an operator to enter upon the broader and more honorable field of electrleal engi- neering. This marked an epoch in his experience from which dates all his sub- scquent success, One word about Edi- son's parsimon It must not be sup- posed because ho lived as a tramp that he weg dissipated in his habits, Quite_the contrary. His moral nature was elevated and pure. He was naturally a good boy in the sence of freedom from vices. He was an inordinate tobacco chewer, n fact to which his stained shirt-front bore am- ple testimony., He wvrobably hoarded every penny with the view of accumula- ting a sum that would ultimately enable him to carry out a long-cherished echeme of elaborate experiments, This Dbelief is justified by subsequent events, After Edison grew famous and wealth began to pour upon_ him, he ostablished an cxtensive workshop and laboratory at the village of Menlo Park, just actoss the New Jersey border. He also erected a ino house, where he lives in quict bach- elor simplicity, He sarrounded himself with a corpse of assistants, each of whom was an expert in his special line. In “hese days when he was probably more ambitious of famo and felt a deeper per- sonal interest in his experiments, it ls said that he worked his assistants nearly to death, He would lock them as well a8 himself in a room, and hours would sometimes lengthen into days before they sould escape. When they would protest that they were almost dead for sleep 10 would tell them to lie down on the floor and enatch a little rest. Their meals would bo brought to them, but Edison would never stop work. He has been known to live for days on bread wd cheese. While his right hand would 10 occupied in figuring out the solutionof some abstract problem, he would feed himself mechanically by breaking off lit lo bits of the bread and cheese. He would work until sleep overpowered him. When he awoke he would commence whero he had left off, Few men cou stand the mental and physical strain, Kd- son’s success in this regard was due wolely to his frugal, simple habits, and to he fact that in his early youth he had wwed no “wild oats” to spring up in later years and vex him. The story of Edison's marriage is a surious one, and quite in keeping with hissingular character. It was told to “he writer by Edison’s private secretary, and is vouched for as being literally true. Ono day a friond asked him why he did uot get married. *‘You have a nice home up thero on the hill. Why don’t you provide a young and pretty mistress for w?” Edison looked up in the absent- minded fashion that was usual to him, and said: “To tell you the truth, old fellow, it never occurred to me. Whom shall T marry. “That's a pretty ques- tion!” exclaimed his friend indignantly. “*A man who has no more sentiment in his soul than you have ought to be satia- fied with anything that wore a petticoat and was virtuous,” Kdison thought the matter over a fow days., He was at that time about 27 years of age, and after the suggestion was made it seemed to strike him with great favor, It may be doubted if such an idea ever occurred to him before. He romembered a pretty, young girl in his omploy whose modest and gentle manner had left a pleasing impression on his mind. He went up to her suddenly one doy, and in hls shy, awkward manner, said: “‘A friend of mine has suggested that I get married. I haven’t much time to think of such things, but I should imugine you would make about the sort of a'wifo | want. If you will marry me L'l promise to make you s good hus- band.” Tho young lady was naturally somewhat surprised, but said she would think it over. Edison gave her a week in which to decide. She finally accepted him,and the wedding followed soon after. An extenstve tour was projected, em- bracing the New England states and a portion of the Canadas. As they drove from the church to the station ~Edison remembered that he had forgotton some- thing at his laboratory, which demandod only a moments attention. “Drive on to the station,” said he, springing out of the carriage, “I'll meet you there in twenty minate The bridal party did 60 and thut was the last seen of Hdison for forty-eight hours, He had grown immersed in some new idea that had suddenly presented itself and becamo ob livious to brides, wedding tours, and orything else. Mrs, kdison had great influence over her husband, Sho was a woman evidently of tact and adroitness, In the courso of timeshe cffected a strik- ing metamorphosis in_his personal ap- pearance. Tho seedy and ill-fitting clothes gave way to garments of more fashionable make, and the rusty old beaver of the vintage of '40 found con- genial lodgings in an ash barrall, while its place was adorned with a tile of more modern construction, She left threo children, the eldest of whom is 8 years of age, cpive C — ORIGIN OF AMMONIA, Ammonia is obtained in large quantities by the putrefaction of the urine of anim: En- oyelopedia Britannica, Every housckeeper can test baking powders containing this disgusting drug b, p‘ncilu( a can of the *‘Royal” or “‘Andrews’ Pearl” tof down on a hot stove until heated, then remove the cover and smell, Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder does not contain Ammonis, Alum, Lime, Potash, Bone Phosphates, (prove it by the above test), is brepared by a Physician and Chemist with special regard to cleanliness and healthful Lo, meo-w-2m —— More £candal, “What, Gov.

It is probably unprecederted in tho history of the Catholic ciiurch that the supreme authorities at Rome should tako such prompt and decided action on ter of church government originating with an humble priest as it has done in the caso of Father P, Corrigan, of Hobo ken, the author of the book on *‘Iptscop which Bishop Wigger which suppressed, but extracts from | were published in the Merqury at the timo, Rome has not only endorsed Father Corrigan’s theory that in a cc try like this, where all government, na- tlonal, state and local, is representative of the people, there should be a **home rule” to some extent in the church also, but has actually, ADOPTED 1T IN ONF out west, Itisonly about a year since Bishop Wiggerand one of his assistants came to New York and had the stereo- type plates of Father Corrigan’s book carriod from the press room to thestereo- typing foundry and melted up, and now haa come the word from Cardinal Jacob: ini that his book is permitted to circulate and be sold freely in Rome and that an Italian edition has been published at Florence, The chief point in the book was an advocacy of the principle that the pricsts should have a voice in the selec- tion of their bishops; and a cable dispatch from Rome a few days ago brought the confirmation of this theory by the pope himself. The deathof Bishop McMullen, of Davenport, lowa, left a va- cancy which was not filled up till last week. The bishops of the province met according to the rule that has always herotofore prevailed in America, and selected the names of three priests, which were forwarded to Rome, for the choice of one of them as Bishop Mec- Mullen’s successor. There was unusual delay at Rome, and then it was learned that the Holy See was considering the question of breaking away from the old rule. The priests of the diocese were asked to send on nominations, which they did, and the Pope cast aside the nominations of the bishops of the proy- ince and made his selection from the nominations farwarded by the priests of the diocese. Father (losgrove, vicar general of the diocese of Davenport, has been appointed bishop of that section. Thus the Pope held, as Father Corrigan did in his supprossed pamphlet that the SIGNAL CASE PRIESTS WERE THE BEST JUDG of who should be their bishop, and the Hoboken pastor has gained a signal triumph over his opponents and critics, An eminent priest of New York said to & Mercury reported yesterday that, in his opinion, *‘this action was taken by Rome for the purpose of indica- ting to the great council which will soon meet in Baltimore what they should do on this question, Some of the hierarchy are in favor of the priests electing their bishops, notably Archbishop Giblons, of Baltimore, the highest Catholic Church authority in this country, and whose pa- per, The Baltimore Mirror, has heartily ondorsed Father Corrigan’s pamphlet, But the great majority of bishops are op- posed to it. Like all other men, they do not want to surrender authority. 'They have not said a word about the matter. It might be expected they would have asked their priests for opinions upon it, but, they have kept most guardedly quiet. and have made no reference whatever to it. 1 might tell you what is not known to many of the pricats even, that tho FOUR GREAT QUESTIONS, that will occupy the attention of the council will be: ~ Iirst, this question of how bishops are to bo nominated in fu- ture; second, the religious orders, as to tho ‘management of their property, etc.; third, the'financial question, that is, to prevent bishops or priests becoming cus- todians of the peovle’s money; fourth, the educational question, not in re- gard to the sccular teaching of children, but of young men for the priesthood. There is also another question of in- torest to priests which will como up, A bishop has now the absolute power to re- move a pastor of a church, and the pas tor has no redress, The pope has sent a command that this power of the bishops bo qualified and curtailed to some extent. He tells thom that at least one pastor in every nine must be made a permanent pastor who cannot bo romoved save for cause and after specific charges shall have been made against him and ho is given a trial. Tho council is given the privilege of making one pastor in every three permanent, but must make one in evory nine, Rome is in favor of giving the priests more say and more security in the church of "Amorica aud the Rome shows ttg historlo wisdom, I re- gard this privilege of the | to se- lects their bishopsas a very long step in tho right direction.

C—— A FISH STORY, Ves Nichols, ‘the Truthful, One of Bome Interest, Relates “‘Roferring to fish, said Colonel Ves Nichols to a News reporter, yesterday afternoon, “‘reminds me of a trip I onco took up in Dakota in 1877. We were traveling in a coach, and there were about a dozen of us, among them John Powell, (who, by the way, was with the reporter) Henry Shaflint, now a prosperous farmer in this county, Theodore Wheeler, who now owns a horse and cattle ranch at Lupton,and strangers from various parta. Wheeler, by the way, was one of the most bashful young men I over knew. 1 used to think 1 was bashful, but he yanked the bun, Well, we were headed for Deadwood. The Indians seemed to run things up in that section after their own way, and almost every stage coach had been beld up and robbed and the passengers either killed or held at ran- som. Asa consequence of these pre- ceeding killings, every occupant of the coach carried Wincheaters and a pair of Colt’s on his hips. *‘But the fish{" queried the reporter. “'That's so. Butas 1 was saying, wo were all armed to the teeth. Of course 1 was frantio with delight.

When we wero onco stopped the driver said to hurry s he was to change horses and go right on. Then thers was a great rush.

In th days I was not a morbid, bloated government offic but a simple seeker after the glittering goddess, But I attracted her attention to such an extent that the rest of the passengers took advant- ago of it and placed a box of crackers, a cheese, #ev- eral links of questionable bolognas and a box of eardines in the bottom of the coach, Finally the driver shouted ‘‘all aboard,” and Whecler and myself were alone in the house. *‘You stolo a box of sardines,” raid the woman, y I didn’t, it was that other fellow,” said I, pointing toward Whoeler, ‘It is a— lie,” said Wheeler, blushing to the tips of his toes. The old lady made for him, when we both made our escape and got into the coach just as it started on the jump for Deadwood.” “Buat where does the fish come in.” “Why, you old stupid, ain’t sardines fish{" said Colonel Ves as he grabbed Powell by the arm and waltzed off toward the new government building. —— mies Piles aro froquently precoded by a sonso of weight in he back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has somo affection of the kidneys or neighboring organs, At times, sym ‘toms of indigestion aro prosent, s flatuency, uneasiness of the stomach, ofc.

I Goodman,” A Stacking Grain, South and We The t socret of successful stacking is to keep the center of the stack full and high, This is the very pointin which 80 many stackers fail. To keep the middle of the stack as high as it should be is not an easy matter by any means, for the more elevated the center is the greater the tendency of the out- side courses to slip out and spoil the stack. But the stacker should re- member that as the stack settles, the middle, bearing the greater weight, sinks the most, and two weeks after the stack is built will be much lower than at the beginning, 1f the middle sinks so low that the outside course of sheaves inclines inward, the heads of the sheaves being lower than the butts, the stack will gpoil, as ran will pass into the stack instead of passing off it. Kach inside course should cover the bands of the sheaves in the course outside of it; this, if followed out honestly, will keep the middle of the stack high enough. In Iaying the outside bundles, stick cach bundle into the one below it, using con- siderable force, but being careful not to displace the lower sheaf. This is the only offective method of laying the bundles to prevent slipping; and at timen it is not suflicient. When such is the case place a flat board against the offend- ing bundles, and stay the board with in- clining props, if below the bulge; or lean poles against the sheaves, if above the bulge. The second point to be observed in the building of a stack is to shape the bundles: that is, put the butts in that position which will suit the shape of the stack. While standing in the shock the sheaves have Inclined inward to a com- mon centre. This hasgiven tho butts a diagonal shape. This makes one sido of the sheaf longer than the other. Below the bulge lay the long side of the bun. dle up; above the bulge lay thelong side of the bundle down, When the bundles aro laid in this way the stack is smooth, ag it should nuot becavse it Jooks nicer, but because there are no sharp projections to catth the rain and carry it into thestack, This may seem like small point but itis of suflicient impor tanco to be observed by the man who desires to put up astack which will pre- servo the grain, C ——— To make a good salad dressing in the ordinary way good condiments, pl time and no Jittle skill aro os Durkec's Salad Dressing suppli requisites, Sold everywhere, — Kassol Wife, M.
