Boston Globe: The ily II{\) of a man like Thomas A. Edison is always of interost. 'h week day the youthful-looking inventor is driven to the Orange station of the Lackawanna & Western There he takes a train for East Newu whero his laboratory now is. He works unremittingly among his chemicals and machinery wntil 0 in the afternoon, then he returns by train to Orange. Mrs. Edisoninvariably meets him in the carringe, and, if the afternoon is ple y immense labrato that Kdison is build- ing on ‘the Or Valley road and spend neawrly half an hour inspocting the premises. At night Edison does his studying. He hasa pretty and unique library, in which he ponders the Yroh— lems tnat are o presenting them- selves to his inventive mind, Tt is raro that Edison retires until after mid- night. He says he studies best and v complishes most in those quiet hours in his library. The new labratory that Edison is evecting is unquestionably the finest in the world. It consists of one large building und four smaller ones, ull brick. ~ The entire labratory will be used solely for experimental purposes by Mr. Edison. 'The large building will be the main workshop, and will be filled with machine run by the most powerful engines. hile he will not keep himself as secret as Keely, the motor man, doos in Phila- delphia, it will be hard o obtain admit- tance to the private laboratory. A great feutur of this private laboratory will be a table’ built upon & foundation running down deep in the grouni, and in no way eon- nebted with the building. The idea is to render the table proof against any jar or motion from the machine or any other c One of the other small buildings will be used for metal- Jurgical purposes, and another will be a magnificently equipped carpenter shop. The buildings will cost about $75,000, und will be ready for occupancy inside of a week. Mr. Edison is most interested at pres- ent in his latest and what he considers one the greatest of his discoveries. Reference is had to the process by which the inventor claims he can produce electricity directly from heat, without the uid of & dynamo or batte “Men must work and women weep, So runs the world away!” But they need not weep so much if they use Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Pre- seription,” which cures all the painful | maladies peculiar to women.

EVERY GARMENT IS MADE TO FIT THE PURCHASER FREE OF CHARGE. The Sultan makes his rigid fast of forty days at Ramazar, like any other good Turk, and at the end of the fast he receives every year anew young wife from his mother, nccording o the say of the prophet, orif hismother ho notalive, the oldest woman in the harem presents the wife. This young girl is chosen six months before from among hundreds of candidates, who are chosen in infancy and educated oxpressly for that rurpose, and then some ten or fifteen are and put under a course of purifi with baths of balm of Gilead, and ¢ g tea with milk and rice for th )n'm('i]ml diet. The last day of the t the bride is selected from among the others and led tothe sultan’s room and divested of clothing, and left standing th'we, with bowed head and folded arms, until the sultan enters. Sometimes the Sultan never sees her again, and sometimes the new bride becomes prime favorite. It isnotalways the most perfect beauty which renders the w¥e a favorite, but generally the most intelligent one who gains the coveted position. No ceremony is con- sidered neces: when the Sultan takes o wife. he is considered sufficiently honored by his choice. In the afternoon the Sultan receives his sons. They are brought into his presence by their respective or tutors; and each boy is made {0 believe that whatever he wants he must have. Murad Effendi, once when but five years old, declared that he would neither eat nor sleep until t} had brought a man-of-warto fire a lute in front of the palace, and they had to send for one, gather a crew, buy and take on board powder, and then get through the bridge and come down in front of the palace to fire the salute and scare Murad nearly to death, If during the day a new son arrives the news is announced to the Sultan, who, bored though he may be by the constant repetition of the vs of new avrivals, must give order that a salute be fired at Tophane first, and then on cvery fortress in Tur seven guns for a girl and twenty-one for a hoy. The slave who first reach the Sultan with the news receives a handsome present, and then the monthly nu who v power in a Turkish as well as a poor American’s home, brings the new-born baby for the sultan to look at. She also rec uable gift. The event means much to th mother, for it often lifts her from slav- ery to the position of legitimate wife- hood. The sultan shows little affection least, for his children, The Sultan has over 6,000 souls at- tached in some manner or capacity to the palace and in his personal service, uside from the soldiers, and the amount of money the Sultan orders spent duily would bankrupt England in a month ,as he ismnot very good at caleu- lating, and his chief cunuch, cham- berlain - and treasurer are, they put their heads together and cut down everybody's expenses but their own, and of la s an effory has been really made toward economy, though still volumes might be told of how money is lavished, for ¢ i must have her own =¢) ment and each as good each new child its tutor and all the and his imperia mored, nurse s of the sultan must be hu- pric family The pro- duct of the moonshine stills does not get out of the mountain country very much, most of it being consumed by the farm- ers of that section, who prefer it to any “manfuc’ article which they regard as poisonous. The fact is, moonshine whisky is the finest liquor made in this country. It is l.mlunfi) free from the chemical aduMerations that are put upou . the market *systematically by ght almost might say so her o t goes from the mainly in jugs. The moonshiner keeps his store of whisky in the blue barrels, hid aw in the woods; but it does not take long to fill a jug when a customer comes around. Quite a large portion of it is distributed through the “blind tiger,” which isa cabin or house where the man who wants your whisky stops to make a peiablo eall on the folks about tho fire- de. After satisfying them that they an trust him, he asks fora drink of whisky. Heis then led intoa vacant room or passage way, and there at one end finds a small opening in the wall large enough to admit a good z tumbler of whisky. In front of this hole is a small shelf, The_visitor puts down a picce of money. Ina moment ahand appears inclosing a_well filled i le corn whisky, which glides forward on the shelf. The hand and money dis- appear and the whisky is yours. i s Unsuspeeted disorders of the kidneys » responsible for many of the ordinary iiments of humanity which neglected, develop into a serious and fatal malady.
