An incident oned happened iii Edi*
fcon k H labnnvtOl'y ilhiHtrating capitally
the ill ten ho practicability of tho “Wiz-
Urd’« nature and hIho allowing tho im
practical way» of profcHHora. During
the course of Rome incandescent lamp
experiments Edison wished to know
the amount of «paco enclosed ill tho
glass bulb, and so, turning to two of
his wise and learned assistant electric*
iiuiH, rerpiCHted them to ascertain the
cubical contents of one of his electric
illuminators.
To these professional minds there
occurred but one way to solve the
problem—mathematics. Any one who
hus over probed very deeply into this
science of quantities and magnitudes
will know by reason of the irregular
form of an incandescent lamp that to
ascertain its cubical volume is no easjf
task. In fact it called for the greatest
mathematical skill. Rut the profess
ors went to work with true grit, and
after using several sheets of paper and
consuming considerable time, in
formed Edison of tho result. To their
surprise the inventor said these figures
were not within gunshot of the true
solution, and to the question as to how
lie knew, the “Wizard” would only
shrug his shoulders and tell them to
find out for themselves.
The electrical experts again went
over their figures, checked them and
tried all the forms of mathematical
calculation, from aiithmetic to applied
mechanics, but without avail, for tho
final result was again declared wrong
by Edison. After several more useless
attempts, and when a good portion Of
the day had been wasted, the profess-
sors would work no more upon tho
problem until they knew Edison’s
method of computation.
The “Wizard” then simply took
tho cap oft’ an incandescent, filled it
with water and then poured the liquid
into an instrument used to determine
tho volume of fluids, whence the cubi
cal contents was known.—New York
Herald.

of Egypt interred their dead on the
borders of the river Nile, ifhd the bodiei
were then washed out into the stream
during the annual overflow of the river,
and were curried down to spread dis
ease throughout tho delta. Since an
end 1ms been put to this custom, the
plague no longer harasses the country.
It would doubtless be difficult, if nol
impossible, to restrain the natives ol
Indio, inhabiting the region of the
Ganges, from casting their dead into
the waters of the sacred stream; but
the author thinks this difficulty might
be obviated by compelling the people
to cremate their dead and then throw
the ashes on the bosom of the river.—

I push this analysis of the publiottn’t*

'J'his prayer r.f the pi.hdcan was also an
humble prayer. The pharisee looked up ; the
publican looked down. You cannot he saved
os a metaphysician or an a rhetorician . you
cannot ho saved as a scholar ; you cannot he
saved as an artist \ you cannot he saved ns
all official. lf yflil arc over saved at nil, it
Will ho ns a Sinner; “God bo merciful to me,
ii slniier !”
Another chnraetoristlo of tho prayer rif tho
publican was, it had a ring of confidence.
Jt was not a cry of despair. Ho knew 1m was
going to got wlmt lie askod for. He wanted
morey; he nskod tor it, expecting it. Anl
do you tell me, O man, that God has pro
vided this salvation and in not going to let
you have it?
If a man build a bridge across a river,
Will hrt not let people go over it? Jf a phy-
sieJnii gives a prescription to a sick man,
Will lib not let him take it? If nn architect
|nits Up it bliildfng, will he not let people in
it? JfGcJd provides Salvation, will lie not
lot you have it? Oh, if there he a pharisee
here, a man who says, I am ail right, rny
past life has boon right, I don’t want the
pardon of the gospel, for I have no sin to j
pardon, lot me say that while that man is in j
that mood there is no peace for him, there is i
no pardon, no salvation, and the probability j
is he will go down and spend eternity with
thn lost phurisee of the text.
Bilt If there he here one who says I want
to he bettor, I want td quit my Bins, my life
has boon a Very imperfect life, how many ;
things have I said that I should not have
said, how many things I have done I should
not have done, I want to change my life, I
want to begin now, let me say to such a soul,
God is waiting, (tod is ready, and you are
near tho kingdom, or rather you have en
tered It, for no man says I am determined to
serve God and surrender the sins of my life ,
Imre, now, I consecrate myself to the Lord
Jesus Christ who died to redeem me ; no man .
from the depth of his soul says that hut h« is
already a Christian.
Afy uncle, the ltov, Samuel K. Talrnage, of
Augusta, Ga., was passing along the streets
of Augusta one day, and ho saw a man, a
black man, atop from the sidewalk out into
the street, take his hat off and bow very
slowly. My uncle was not a man who de
manded obsequiousness, and bo said, “Wlmt
do you do that for?” “Oh,” says tho man,
“innssn, the other night I was going along
the street, and I had a burden on my shoulder,
and 1 was sick, and I wn« hungry, ami I cam©
to tho door of your church, and you were
preaching about ‘God be merciful to me,
u sinner !’ and I stood there at the door long
enough to hear you say that if a man could
utter that prayer from tho depth of his soul
God would paiilon him and Anally tako him
to heaven. Then I put my burden on my
shoulder, and I started home. I got to my
homo and I sat down, and I said,‘God ho
merciful to me, a sinner!’ hut it got darker
aud darker, and then, inassu, I got down on
my kdees, and I said, ‘God he merciful
to me, a sinner!’ and the burden got
heavier, and it got darker aud darker. I
knew not wlmt to do. Then I got down
on my face, and I cried, ‘God be merci
ful to me, a shiner I’ find away off I saw a
light coming, and R eame nearer und nearer
and nearer until all was bright in my heart,
and I rose. I am lmnpy now—tho burden
is ail gone—and I said to myself if ever I
moot you in tho street I would get clear off
the sidewalk, and I would how down and
take my hat off before you. I feel that I owe
more to you than to any other man. That is
the reason I bow before you.”
Ob, are there not many now who can utter
this prayer, tho prayer of the black man, the
prayer of the publican, “God be merciful to
me, a sinner?” While I halt in tho sermon,
will you not all utter it? I do not say audi
bly, hut utter it down in the depths of your
souls’ consciousness. Yes, the sigh goes all
through th© galleries, it goes all through the
pews, it goes all through these aisles, sigh
after sigh—God he mcrctful to me, a sinner!
Have you all uttered it? No, there Js one
soul that has not uttered it. too proud to ut
ter it, too hard to utter it. O Holy Spirit
descend upon that one heart. Yes, he begins
to breathe it now. No bowing of the head
yet, no starting tear yet, Imt the prayer is
beginning—it is born. God bo merciful to
me, a sinner! Have all uttered it? Then I
litter it myself, for no on© in all tho houso

A Columbia spocial of Wednesday
says: Tho outlook for a cotton crop
in Bouth Carolina is exceedingly dis
couraging, and there is a poor pros
pect for over a half crop. Most all
tho counties report that cotton is
small and that there are very few
blooms. In many counties it cannot
rocovor from tho excessive rains. The
bottom leaves are red and yellow and
arc dropping oil'. In Charleston it ii
thriving and (lie crop will be the
largest in years, and of unsurpassed
quality. Tho Piedmont counties re
port that cotton is recovering iti
healthy appearance and growing nico-
ly, and in the others is about two
weeks late and impossible to make
half a crop. In many counties ii line
turned red and has fired up considera

Mud Shoes For Horses.
Mud shoes for horses are common in j
certain parts of Washington State, be
ing used on horses in plowing tlm low
and wet lands of the valley north of
Sumner nearly every spring. The
mud shoe consists of a heavy board
about eight inches wide and from
eight to ton inches long, rounding in
front. On this board a redhot slioo
of the sizo worn on the horse’s foot
for which it is intended is placed un
til it burns into it to a depth almost
sufficient to lmry itself. It is neces
sary that the shoe have a long too and
long corks. A piece of circular band
iron to fit over the top part of the
hoof is then attached to tho board and
over the hoof to hold the mud shoo
solidly to the foot. One end of tho
band is fastened to tho board with a
screw, which when tightened holds tho
board ns squarely to the bottom of the
hoof as if it had grown there. The
horses become accustomed to wearing
them, and after a day or two expd’i-
ence no difficulty in working in them.
By this mean* farmers are’ enabled to
plow land in the spring where without
the use of the mud shoes horses would
mire down. Chicago Herald.

An Aid to Shooting.
An aid to shooting lias been devisod
by a Vienna (Austria) watchmaker in
the shape of a little automatic clock
work apparatus that is applicable to
all firearms, and by tho aid of which
it is said to Ire possible for troops iu
the rear of an army to shoot with pre
cision over the heads of those in front
without danger to tho latter. Re
serves will thus bo enabled to stand at
a greater distanco from tho place of an
engagement than heretofore, and yet
take an active part in the fight. It is
described as “a piece of clockwork, or
small apparatus, by which, if a rifle is
held so as to come up to a certain anglo
of elevation, tho wholo magazine of
cartridges or a single cartridge will bo
automatically discharged.” No details
of the instrument have yet reached us.
; It is reported to be simpler, and there
fore more applicable, than a similar
instrument lately invented in Gor-
many ; but whether it can be brought
into practical use depends upon tho
result of the tests to which it is now
boing submitted by a committee of
; the Austraian War Oilicc—Now York

Can be Cured by Hard Work.
A writer in tho Atlantic Monthly,
who avows a wholesome reluctance to
I increase “tho vocabulary of emotional
: pathology,” gives the suggestive namo
! of “life ache” to the feeling which Alls
; some of our days of existence “with a
: sense of sorrowful penury and fore-
: going.” This writer does not mistake
j in supposing human nature to be sub-
i ject to that undeflned yet often acute
dolor—human nature, that is, of an
! impressionable sort, whose fiber is flue
; and sensitive ratter than tough and
| elastic. — Now Orleans Timos-Dowo-
cr>.t.
