GLIMPSES OF EDEN.
In some dim land of kmg ngr>
I hear the silent waters :low
To fields afar with bloom, I know.
In sonjo dim land.
Of dreams alone is that, strange land.
Where I in solemn silence stand,
Hearing strange voices from the strand —
Of dreams alone.
Songs sweeter far than earth th< •re blow,
I.ike winds of heaven that come and go,
Rut in some tongue we do not know—
Songs sweeter far.
Above our speech that spirit sings.
Each strange sweet word hath strong switt wings;
We hear but sad sweet murmuriugs
Above our speech.
We may not know what in them lies—
Glimpses of Eden's long lost skies;
What dreams of heaven and paradise—
We may not know.
—Bennett Bellman in Philadelphia Times.
WHAT INVENTOR EDISON SAYS.
. Give Them it Chance.
That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-nassag'es, but the thousands
of little tunes and cavities leading from
t hem.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be
there, your lungs cannot half do their,
work. And what tliev do, they cannot \
do well.
(.’all it cold, cough, croup, pneumonia, j
catarrh, consumption or any of the fam-1
ily of throat and nose and head and
lung obstructions, all are bad. All
ought to be got rid of. There is just
one sure way to get rid of them. That
is to take Boschee’s German Syrup,
which any druggist will sell you at 75
cents a bottle. Even if everything else
has failed, you may depend upon this
for certain.

The Next Important Invention — Cheap
Motive Powei—Labor Question.
I asked Edison “What is to be the ten
dency of invention during the next quar
ter of a century?”
“The next invention, I think,” he said,
“is likely to be the turning of coal into
motive power without the mediation of
steam. I am now at work on a machine
called the pyro-magnetic dynamo for this
purpose—to get electricity directly from
coal. Almost all of our available energy
is in wood and coal. We get it out at a
terriblo waste. As four-fifths of the heat
in a fire place goes up the chimney and
only one-fifth out into the room where it
is wanted, so about three-fourths of the
energy in coal is lost in getting at tlio
•other fourth. Coal can be turned im
mediately into electricity—I have demon
strated that—and I will know in a short
time whether it can he done commer
cially—that is, without costing more than
it comes to. If my idea can be realized,
a steamer that now burns 150 tons of
coal a day will burn twenty-five tons in
stead. Very certain I am that the whole
tendency of invention for the last thirteen
yearH of this century will lx; directed to
ward economy of motive power.”
“What do you think of the Keely
motor?”
“I have never seen it. so I have no
opinion about it. But all the results he
is said to have obtained can be got from
compressed air. All the air in this room
can bo condensed into a liquid that could
be carried in a filbert shell, and its explo
sive force would be tremendous. Skill
fully released and reconstructed it would
move a great machine.”
“ When motive power gets to be four
times as cheap as it is, Mr. Edison, what
will become of the laboring man?’ ’
“He will be enriched by it. Machin
ery will he his slave. See how machin
ery has multiplied in the last fifty years.
As a direct result, workingmen get
double the wages they did then and the
necessities of life cost only half as much.
In other words, a hand worker can to
day buy four times as much with ten
hours of work as his father could fifty
years ago. For the first time in the
world’s history a skilled mechanic can
buy a barrel of flour with a single day’s
work. The machinery in the United
States represents the labor of 1,000,000,-
000 men—or fifty times as much labor
as that of all the men in the country.
When motive power is still further
cheapened—say in another generation—
I believe that the unskilled laborer, if
sober and industrious, can have a hous°
of his own, and a horse and carriage,
and a library and a piano. It is terrible
stupidity that leads some laboring men
to suppose that machinery is their foe.
It is the thing that gives them independ
ence and even freedom. Without ma
chinery society would drift into the con
dition of master and slave; the multipli
cation of machinery means for every
worker more food, better clothes, better
house, less work. In fact, I believe that
the indefinite increase of machinery is
going to solve what folks call ‘the labor
question’—that is, the desire of hand
workers to get a bigger slice of the mar
gin of profit.”—W. A. Croffut in New
York Mail and Express.
A Very Life Like Description.
When the Saxe Holm stories first ap
peared, and some of them were at once
credited to Helen Hunt, a friend who
greatly enjoyed the beautiful description
of a lovely Quakeress in “My Tourma
line,” read it aloud to the one whom she
believed to he the original of the story.
The description included an allusion to a
tiny gold pin, with little chains to it, by
•which the fair Quakeress always fastened
the white lace over her bosom.
“When I write to H. H., what shall I
tell her that you said about the story?”
asked tho friend, anxious to tease H. H.
with an apparent discovery of the author
ship, and curious to see how the beauti
ful Quakeress would accept a flattering
description that it seemed almost impos
sible not to associate with herself.
“Thee may tell her, was the gentle
reply, with scarcely a deepening of the
exquisite pink on her cheek, “thee may
—may tell her that the description of the
pin is very life like!”—The Epoch.
The Potato Bng in Germany.
The potato bug made two simultaneous
appearances in Germany this yeaX, one
in Saxony and one in Hanover. The
German government at once had men at
work, who carefully picked all the bugs
and larva? off the plants. The stems of
the vines were then cut off and placed in
baskets lined with sacking, which were
thoroughlv soaked in benzine off and
buried deep in the ground. After this
the land was plowed twelve or fourteen
inches deep and well harrowed, and the
surface nicked over for any insects that
might be on it. Finally the land was
saturated with benzine oiL In one case
eight acres and in the other three-quar
ters of an acre had to be treated in this
wa y.—New York Sun.

The English army consists nominally of
211 474 officers and men, but it is said
that onlv one army corps can actually be

makeshifts. Of the 71,810 officers and
men stationed m England, it is adeged
that 15,000 are boys uuder 19, and that
10,000 more are uuder 20. New \ork

HE WAS GREATLY MISTAKEN.
A Maryland Chemist Reckoned Without
His Host.
I live in the midst of the malarial
districts of Maryland, near the city of
Washington, and am exposed to all the
dangerous influences of the impure air
ami water of that region.
Being naturally of a strong constitu
tion, I had frequently boasted that no
chills and fever or other malarious
complaint would ever trouble me.
This was my experience and the con
dition in which I found mvself six
months ago. I first noticed that I did
not feel so sprightly and vigorous as
was my wont to do. I felt tired and
enervated. Soon I noticed a distinct
and distressing hack ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in
creasing in severity if the exercise was
more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling with profuse gaping
made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as a bell, would feel
heavy and I began to have headaches.
The cold stage was marked with
chattering of the teeth, severe rigors
passed over me, and no amount of
clothing could keen me warm. The
chill was succeeded in turn by the
fever, in which 1 seemed to be burning
up, the congestion in my head produced
a violent pain in the frontal portion
and a heated sensation of the eyelids,
with an indescribable aching of the
lower limbs. Nausea and vomiting
occurred with severe retchings, and
when the paroxyms passed off I was
thoroughly prostrated by a weakness
that was felt.in every part of me.
During all t his time, it must be un
derstood that 1 did not neglect medical
treatment. All the most powerful
remedies were tried, such as liquid ar
senate. of potash, valeriante of iron,
mercurv, bromide of potassium, chlo
ride of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchoni-
dia, quinine and several others. All
this I did under the advice of eminent
physicians.
It was while I was in this deplorable
condition that the claims made for
Kaskine, the new.quinine, as a specific
for malaria, were first brought to my
attention. I knew nothing of its value
to justify my having any confidence in
it, hut as everything else had failed I
deemed it my duty to try it, so I began
its use, and its prompt and radical ef
fects were of the nature of a revelation
to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is a
fact that after only a few days’ use of
Kaskine all the leading symptoms in my
case were decidedly abated or ceased
altogether; and in a few weeks from
the "time 1 took the first dose I was
cured.
This was about the first of January,
and since then I have experienced no
recurrence of the malarial symptoms in
any form. A remedy of such excep
tional virtue for the cure of malaria
ought to he commended and universal
ly- made known. I have therefore
lirged it upon the attention of my
friends, several of whom have used it
with like good results in every case, and
it is with the greatest pleasure and sin
cerity that I commend Kaskine to suf
ferers from malaria everywhere.
Respectfully vours,
J. D. Hikd, B. A.,
Assistant Chemist Md. Agriclutural College.
P. S.—Should any one wish to address
me as to the genuineness of the above
letter, I will cheerfully respond.
Other letters of a similar character
from prominent individuals, which
stamp Kaskine as a remedy of un
doubted merit, will be sent on applica
tion. Price $1.00, or six bottles for
$5.00. Sold by Druggists, or sent by
