Tbe Time to Begin.
A few days ago a Representative. of
..he General Assembly introduced a
.treasure looking to an early adjourn
ment cf that body.
We regret to sty that the measure
died a natural death at ihe hands of
the legislators ns?,*tabled.
We wish to say just lierc rhat ever
since the State of Georgia lia* !»ren
operating under the constitution cf
1877 the sessions of the General A
serobiy have been lengthy—unreason
ably so—and the long summer sessions
a-e a tax upon the State that It is
really unable to sustain.
The constitution provides for bl eit
nial sessions of cot more than for
days length. This session is held and
an adjourned session is then held sev
eral months alter. The latter session
is InrI* finite in length, and by some
has been contended as uncon-titution-
al. Whether these ses-lona me uncon
stitutional or not, wc do not care to
Ihcuss, but when the General A«sem
bly at these sessions has to vote to pay
Its members their mileage for attend
ing them, it occurs to us that if they are
not authorized otherwise, a legislative
act authorizing the payment of mile
age would be unnecessary.
Every"time, »h nigh, that any criti
elsui is made on U:e-y l»*ng sessions
and continued sessions, the cry
raised that the w >rk neccs-ary to be
d ne cannot be accomplished In t> e
prescribed forty day a. Asid yet at
every session there arc always more
measures that find their way into
pigeon hole than on the statute books.
There are now pending, we dare say,
more measures before the General As
sembly that will fail of passage than
the number that will become laws.
And yet the State must hear all this
expense, whether constitutional or un
constitutional. The sessions are never
dimini-hed, but instead have a ten
dency to be lengthened.
We had hoped that the present Leg
islature would institute a much-needed
reform in this matter. It w.»s under
stood that the Representatives would
put a stop to this useless expenditure
of the State’s money, ami do the work
In the prescribed constitutional limita
tion, but if seem? that four dollars
day iii the capital city is something
that cannot bo resisted, and the old
rut is jumped into without any dispo
sition to drive around it.
Now is a good time t-» b?g : n this re
form* It is one that is needed and
one that should be iu.-tiuited. Instead
of paying a per diem to the m.-mber*
let them be paid so much per year—a
nominal sum in conformity to their
services—and let every ifiierrof both
branches be paid a stipulated annual
salary and in less than two years a
change would be-inaugurated that
that would be acceptable to the pub
lic at large.
Of course this change would have
to be brought about by constitutional
•unendment, but we know of no more
opportune time to make the step than
just now. Lot the present General
Assembly, the one that promised this
reform, bring this matter up and sub
mit it to the people foe ratification at
tho next general State “lection. Then
.nstead ol the sessions being prolonged
on a per diem basis for each member,
instead of long sessions to.kill useless
and foolish measures, the sessions
could be as long as the nu mbers saw
lit to make them, am! the State and
the citizens generally would not be
the sufferers on account of the ex
pense. Under that plan the Repre
sentatives could only draw so much
per year, tho officers could only draw
■so much per year, there would be no
uncertainly as to the consticntionality
of the sessions, there would be no In-
ireased expense by long sessions, and
r.hc people could be satisfied in a man
ner far prelcrablc than at present.

The Indianapolis News is a good
tariff reform paper. It never misses
an opportunity to drive a blow agalrs!
the iniquities of the protection fallacy,
and is always on the lookout for tariff
thunder. ^
The News seems to have found all
the ammunition mi this suljcct that it
needs in the following article pub-
ished a few days ago:
We reprint this little pamphlet-, writ-
n by Mr. George Ihie.kett, of Lynn,
Mass., as a short, and simple story ol
he theory and practice of protection,
it is all there. Cut it out, read it,
learn it:
If you think it is wiso to protect an
industry that you are not directly in-
rere?ted In, I make this proposition to
von; Tax yourselves only owe cent a
year, and i will open a new American
Industry, agreeing to employ 1.200 na
il ve American laborers at wages ol
$500 a year, or L will give them $150 a
rear and allow them 305 holidays.
You are following me as au arithme
tician. In round numbers there are
00,000,000 people to be taxed:
One cent from each amounts to $000,000
1,200 hbrrers at $450 each*
would take of this amount.. 540.000

Ossificatiou of the Lye.

Samuel A. Avila, of Brooklyn, re-
ceutly had his left eye removed by a
surgeon.
Thirty-five years ago, when in his
dnetcenth year, Mr. Avila was badly
injured while he was at work iu his
lather’s paint shop, a piece of broken
nail having lodged in his eye. By the
advice of Dr. Agnew he concluded noi
w have the piece of nail removed, and
until last March, when he began t<
mfter from pains In the left side of hu-
head, he experienced no trouble from
it. The pains in his head became 90
acute that he consulted Dr. Matthew-
sou, who informed him that he was
suffering from the very rare disetse of
ossification of the eye, and tfaal he
would have to get it out.
The operation was successfully per
formed about a week ago. Mr. Avila
says that he never, haif^i better time
his life than during the l our that

Macon Evening News.
The people still rule!
In every department of this great
government their will moat predomi
nate.
Conscientious citizens and fair mind
ed newspapers are a power none can
successfully combat.
An investigation Into the deitth of
Beauregard Scarborough Is to be made
t. last.
It was brought.about by impartial
and just newspaper disclosures and
criticisms, backed up In their efforts
by men who desired justice for jus
tice’s sake.
These effort* have called forth froin
the depai-ttnent of justice an order call
ing for an investigation into the death
of this United States prisoner, which
since its occurrence has been obscured
in a cloud.
A t the head of Uiis movement, to
bring about an investigation, was no
other than our own Congressman,
Hon. Jas. H. Blount, together with
many of Macon’s most prominent citi
zens and leading members of the bar,
men whose names carry with it the
justice of their cause and speak the
gravity of the situation.
Congressman Blount addressed At
torney-General Miller in regard to the
matter, and Attorney-General. Miller
very properly ignores whatever inves
tigations might have been made in Ma
con and proposes to thoroughly look
into the matter at the department of
justice. Surely such a move could not
have been objected to at first, and It
not reprehensible, it was due the party
or parties connected therewith and in
which it occurred to have the fact clear
ly established.
But now an investigation will be
regularly made and the public mind
set at ease, thanks to those newspapers
who have given a free expression to
tho matter and to the men who have so
unselfishly maintained the rights of
their State and their people.
scarbokougs’s noMjc piper.
As further light on the matter the
ews publishes the following extracts
from the Camilla Clarion, Scarbor
ough’s home paper:
The death of Beauregard Scarbor
ough is thought by some to have been
hastened on, or caused entirely, by the
United States marshal putting him
under arrest and carrying him froinhis
failier-in-law’s house in Colquitt coun
ty to Macon when he was not really
able to go. There seems to be some
people in this county who, according
to the best information that can be ob
tained, are as guilty as Scarborough,
who, if they have' been to Macon at all,
have not been under arrest, but simply
went under sutrfmons as witnesses
We allude to Poore and Eubanks, fath
er and uncle of VV. L. Poore. The
courts at Macon turned them loose
and Poore came back with the report
that Bryant would be perjured for
swearing that he, Poore, Eubauks and
Cumbass, made liquor together.
Now we will furnish a little infor
mation from witnesses in this neigh
borhood. First, the parties confirm
about the time the distilling was done
and they thought it all would be kept
secret. Bryan told shortly after it was
done to a party who will testify to the
same.
John Poore told W. Horton Branch
that he had helped Bubanks still
peaches and told him to carry bis fruit
and he would help him to still It. Mr.
Branch positively declined having
anything to do with It. Uncle Joe
Cosby, who is well advanced in age,
says Poore told him that he (Pooe) auri
Cumbass could beat Sank Cosby on his
own si ill. Buck Cosby says Poore
and Eubanks came to his house mod
Poore begged Bryant off with him to
heh> still their peaches. Bryant did
not want to go for fear It would get
out.
“Come, get you hat,” says Poore,
nobody will know it,” and the boy'
went. Bryant then claimed to be only
17 years of age.
Mr. Buck Crosby also states that In
the evening on their return from the
still they met Sam Crosby at his house
and Poore told Sam, “we can beat you
on your own still. We not only made
better fiquorbut we got a better turn
out. You cook your* too fast.”
We are also told that Ben Simpson,
Sam Crosby, Dave Weeks and Laban
Goodson were at the still the same day.
Frank Crosby says Will Poore told
him that if Bryant reported his father
and Eubanks, he would have the rest
punished to the fullest extent of the
law.
Deputy Marshal Poore Is a Mitchell
county man, and he has hauled many
of his old friends OYer the coats? I
was charged that Deputy Poore’s
father, Mr. J. S. Poore, was. guliy ot
the same offense. R. H. Bryant swore
to that effect, and he was convicted of
perjury iu a one sided trial. There
has been only one copper still In the
neighborhood, so said, and it was cap
tured last year. John P'»ore bought It.
The man who'sold it told a gentle
man in this city that he sold it to John
Pooe. There Is another gentleman
who saw John Poore’s order to the
original owner to deliver it to the bear-
If this be so, why punish some
nnd let tho.e kin to the officers go free?
Is that one of the perquisites of the
office? These two men have never
been called on to testify in an investi
gation. Let justice be done, though
the heavens fall.
WANTED A GOSSAMER.
n n Philni!clpliia Glri’a
BstUit Sait Created at Cape Slay.
Grom the Philadelphia Record.
With a run across the ocean drive,
a bop and jump over the board walk
and another long, - swift run on
coarse as straight as an arrow,
boxom young lady cleft the air on the
beach this morning, and before the
startled on-lookers could regain their
wits the swells of the ocean concealed
the most stunning bathing snit of the
season. The debut of the yonng Phil
adelphian was rather theatrical, but
she was evidently a little discontented
by the attention she attracted and fl<*w
to the water, where she remained far
out, until It became evident the men
on tbe'Leacta proposed to stay and see
her come out even if they missed their
dinner. Then, as a last resort, she
persuaded a friend to go to the hotel
and Aend down a gossamer. When
the friendly garment arrived the inter
ested yubllc had a flitting view of a
low—very low—cut.bodice of dark,
rich green, fitted skin-tight over stays
with only a strap at the shoulders. A
pretty bracelet adorned one bare arm.
Below the waist was a short skirt, ac-
cordlon-ptaited, and when in the surf
this expanded until “the bather looked
like a mermaid floating on a lily. Old-
gold stockings adorned her shapely
limbs. This was tbe firet appearance
of the suit here, and It Is likely to be
the last. As one of the Stocktonites
remarked, “That young lady got her
ball dress mixed up with her bathing
robe.”
Frogs in His Stomach.
A man this morning entered Kaltcy-
er’s drug store, says the St. Louis
Chronicle, and to see the city physi
cian. Here is the remarkable state
ment he made toque of the clerks:
“I have my stomach full of frogs,
and they bother me terribly every
night, when they keep up such a sing
ing and croaking, and juwp around so
much, that they don’t give me any
chance to sleep.”
The clerk then asked: “How do you
know they are frogs ?”
“Why, don’t you suppose I know
frogs when I hear and see them? f not
only hear them, but I took an emetic,
and when I vomited two of them came
up.”
'“Were they alive?”
“Well, I should think they were.
And as soon as they got out they be
gan calling to the others in my stom
ach, and the latter kept answering
toe in, so I didn’t get any peace until J
killed the two outsiders.” —
“Did you keep the dead frogs?**
“No; and I am sorry now that I
didn’t, because nobody will believe
me when I tell them I have frogs in
stomach, unless the frogs happen-to
sing when 1 am talking about them. J
went to a doctor yesterday and wanted
him to remove them, and he told me 1
would have to change my whisky or
the frogs would turn Into monkeys;
but the frogs are there just as hard,
and I wish they were not. I would
like to kill them, but am afraid I would
kill myself If I tried to poison them.”
The roan was apparently sober, well-
dressed, and about fbrty years old. The
physician was not in and he left, say
ing he would be In again at the hour
when the physician was expected
A Tough Duck Story.
Old Capt. Prout, from whom Prout’s
Neck, now a well known summer re
sort, is named, was a noted gunner In
the days when the water fowls were
plenty in that vicinity. Early one
spring, 18G0 or thereabouts, said an olu
settler to me, he brought home from
the West Indies a gun, tbe like of
which had never been by the natives.
It was a muzzle-loader, about a two-
luch guage, and weighed about thirty
pounds. -Soon after its arrival there
came a heavy storm, and the next
morning a pond of a couple of acres In
extent back of the captain’s barn wa*
covered with ducks so thick that aiu.
other one could not possibly have been
squeezed in. nere was an opportunity
to try the new gun, and loading it with
the regulation charge, of one- quarter
pound of powder and one-half pound
of shut, he sailed forth. At the corner
of the barn he cocked the piece and
stepped out with it held in readiness
When within about forty yards all the
ducks jumped as one birp. The cap
tain aimed at the middle of the mas*
and fired.
Here my informant stepped as if ex*

In the morning Mrs. Blossom no

from its nsual color. The cardinal red
with shrimp Ipink trimmings had re
solved itself into an old gold and pur
ple flounced affair.
“I dou’t think that baby looks very
well,” she said anxiousty.
-“No; he had a hard night of It,” re
plied her husband.
“Ob, dear! He wasn’t sick, was he,
Charlie?”
“l8bould say he was was! Why,
one time 1 didn’t think the little beg

“Oh, Charlie, how could you let me
sleep? Why didn’tvou wake me up?”
sbe exclaimed, in tones tremulous with
motherly aog'ish.
‘Well,” replied Mr. Blossom, who
never loses a chance for a joke, “I’ii
cell you, I was afraid yoo’d want me to
dress and go for the doctor.’*
Since then Mrs. Blossom may be
heard assuring her treasure at half-

Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, who firs,

briquet of “the Sockless Statesman of
Medicine Lodge,” bat who has now
meet to be regarded as one of tbe
shrewdest and most careful leaders of
the Farmers’ Alliance movement, has
just returned to Washington, after

the South.
Mr. Simpson talked enthusiastically
of the progress the movement is mak

manipulate them are unceremoniously
shoved aside or trampled under foot.
Those persons who imagined the Farm
ers* Alliance movement was the out
growth of a passing or whimsical dis
content, due to poor crops, which
would disappear with the advent of
spring peas and new potatoes, now
begin to see their mistake. It is based
on intelligence and investigation. The
conditions which have brought about
this revolt are three-fold, the oppres
sive nse of their money power, tbe
manipulation of railroads to absorb-
tbe profits of the farmer, and the pres
ent tariff system, which reduces the
price of what he has to sell by restrict
ing the market and raising the price of
what he has to buy -by monopolizing
the market. The tariff wall coops the
farmers of this country op In a pen,
compelling them to trade against each

THE TARIFF ISSUE.
How Is It that the question of tariff
taxation has not received more promi

the leaders,” replied Mr. Simpson.
“The Alliance strength is drawu from
both tbe old parties, which are divided
mainly upou this question. It was not,
therefore, deemed wise to align the
new party on tins Democratic side of
this great question, for fear of shoving
out Republicans who would be made to
believe that the Alliance was a Demo
cratic side show. But the Alliance
people understood this question. They
will even farther than* the Demo
crats. They will, 1 predict, in their
platform next January, pronounce for
absolute free trade.
'‘That will place the farmer and the
manufacturer alike on an equal foot
ing. It will give us success to the
markets of the world. Then we want
a cheapening of the instruments of
trade and the means of transporta
tion.”
TO STRIKE TUB REPUBLICANS.
Mr. Simpson expects.the Alliance to
give the Republican party a death
blow this fall?
“Tbe Republican - party,? said he/
'‘stakes its all in Ohio this fall. Sher
man represents its theory of finance,
and McKinley the tariff. Those two,
with tbe bloody shirt represented by
Ingalls, give tbe party it? only excuse
for existence. The Issues of the war
were forever buried with logalls In
Kansas last year, and when the cam
paign this fall is open, McKinley and
Sherman, like IngalD, will be states
men out of a job. We are preparing
to send our best speakers to Ohio, and
there will be a big surprise fn store for
somebody.”
~ rnERrf WILL BE A TICKET.
‘Then-ovill the Alliance put a ticket
in the field next year?”
‘Yes, the Alliance i3 up to its neck
in politics. I am satisfied from what 1
saw in the South, that we can easily
carry several States upon which
the Democrats fancy they have
first mortgage. The South
ern people are as much in earnest as
he people were in Kansas, and the
Northwest last year. Our battle next
year will be the South and West
against the Exstr We will turn .Mason
and Dixon’s line around. We may not
win next year. If we don’t, we will
keep up the agitation until we do.
We may have to divide our
enemies and whip them separately.
Cf _ we don’t wia ourselves tfeit
year, we will at least break up the Re
publican party. Theu we con turn,
our attention to the Democratic. It is
tougher and harder to kill, hut when
the Alliance lion and the Democratic
iamb do lie.down together, the lamb
will be on the Inside of tho Hon. Don’t
make any mistake about that. Tliis is
a political revolution which'is going
on. The peopV don’t appreciate it
now. A few yenrsdience, wheu some
body looks carefully over the recent
almanacs, he wltT make the discovery.”
MILLS IN TOWN.
Roger Q. Mills arrived here to-day
from New York, where he has been on
a stumping expedition. He declines to
discuss the* speakership question,
further than to express his satisfaction
with the situation, and bis belief in
his election, and to disclaim any posi
tive knowledge of the calling of an ex
tra session of tbe Tex:is Legislature,
vhich would necessitate his with
drawal from the speakership race to
look after his senatorial fences. Mr
Mills goes to Iowa in a few days to
open the campaign there. In October
he will go to Ohio to help Governor
Campbell. There he looks forward to
discussing not only the tariff with Mc
Kinley, bat the silver question with
Senator Sherman.
A GgocI Joke on Hill.
Brooklyn Eagle
I heard a good story ab nit Brook
lynites at Cottage City last week—or
rather srgood story which Brooklynites
sumiuering there enjoyed, among them
Dr. Hafrcfeon A. Tucker, ex-United
States Marshal Charles M. Stafford and
others. Governor Hill was at Martha’a
Vineyard twice lately, it will be re
membered, once when going to Nan
tucket and again when cotning^back
from that place. On hisretarn a Mas
sachusetts man named Mr. Youngs
was introduced to oar State executive,
but accidentally the latter’s given
name was not mentioned to Mr.
Youngs, who had-no idea that “the
governor” meant the governor of New
York. *Y oangs, however, wa3 com
mended to “the governor” as “one of
the leading Massachusetts Democrats.”
“I don’t know that I’m a leading Mas
sachusetts Democrat,” modestly said
Youngs, “I’m a sort of Cleveland
Democrat and I guess that’s all.” Un
aware that Mr. Youngs was ignorant
of the fact that he was conversing with
the governor of the State of New
York, a bystandersaid to him, in or
der to propitiate that functionary:
“And, Young?, you are not only a
good Cleveland Democrat, but a good

the line at Hill, and want none of him
In mine.” Governor Hill turned on
his heel and at once began* to express
his admiratiQn for the surrounding
scenery. The Brooklyn contingent at
Martha’s Vineyard ran Youngs so hard
on his blunder that the amount of
wine be had to open in the elnb house
will make tbe bar account show a
large profit for that hospitable resort
at the end of the season.

Electric Power in Dwelling Houses.
Philadelphia Record. ^
A machine-has recently been invent
ed by a Philadelphia man by which
electric power can be introduced Into
a dwelling house, or, in fact, any
building, with bnt slight expense. The
basis of the invention is a practical
use of the power of atmospheric grav
ity. The gravity, or weight of the at
mosphere at sea level, will raise water
In a vacuum thirty-three feet.- The in
vention consists of a process of forcing
water out of a vacuum placed on the
roof of a building and keeping the air
out at the same time. The water is
forced to the vacuum, is then driven
into a tank, and in descending has saf-
ficient power to drive a wheeL_Below
the wheel the- water can be collected
into a shallow tank and led back into
tbe tank from which it first came,
forming a continuous stream.

Zeke Ease, In N/uhvffioAmerican.
After many years’ absence I con
chided to visit the home of my child
hood xnd the house In which I was
born. I dreamed* the night'before
arted of the old school house and the
play-ground where we boys used to
play stick-It-to-him and £b*miy~gffd
roily boley. I saw again the old bald-
headed teacher with ferrule in hand
walking up and down the aisle cracfc
ing the boys over their heads and tell
ing them to study their lessons. I saw
my old sweetheart in her neat ging
ham dress and bean * catchers/ looking'
as cute and as saucy as in the days ot
long ago. Great Scott! at the victuals
I did lose over that girl, the'slecpless
nights and the anony I endured at see
ing Pete Jones wink at her, and the
delight she took in vexing and coquett
ing with me. (She evidently married
Peteand now takes in washing fora,
living.) : '
When I awoke the next morning
there was an aching void in my heart
which the sight of my old home alone
could fill. So I packed my grip and
started. I got off at the old depot
where 1 first saw in wonder the iron
horse. But alas, ail was changed, and
I should never have known It for the
same but for the brakeman calling it
by name. The old depot, like every
thing aronnd it, had put on city airs,
and resembled the depot of my boy
hood no more than a highland terrapin
does the great turtle. I walked along
the old street, hut everything was new
and strange|to my eyes. New people
brushed by me without notice and new
hoases looked down upon me. Even
the saplings that stood in the in the
court house yard had grown up into
giants, and the old brick building,
with Its shingle roof, had given place
to a stone mansion with copper cover
ing. Everything around me was new
and unfamiliar* The. very dirt ot the
streets seemed to be of another world.
Here in the town where I was bom
and where I had grown to man’s estate
f was an utter stranger, with not one
kindly face to welcome me. I could
□ot have been no more lonely in the
heart of Africa, so great are the changes
which thirtyjrears brings about.
I wandered out to my boyhood’s
home only to find greater changes,
there than at any other place.. The
vine-clad cottage was gone; not a ves
tige of it remained; The old picket
fence and the great cedars all gone,
and In the(r places stood a stately edi
fice with an iron fence abound it. The
only thing I remembered to have ever
seen before was an aged chestnut tree
standing on the*, road road some two
hundred feet from the front gate. It
stood unchanged ’midst its magnificent
surroundings, the same old tree that
sheltered my great-grandfathers httn
dred years ago. I walked up to it with
tears in my eyes and looked up at tbe
first limb, upon which I had passed so
many happy hours, dreaming of the
great world beyond, and longing for
tbe time to come when I could turn
my back upon my humble home to
mingle with newscenes and new peo
pie.
I was so lost In reflection that I
failed to notice an aged negro sitting
fast asleep ia the shade of the old tree
until a falling bur rudely awoke him
and called my attention* to him. His
features seemed familiar to me, bur
since negroes are all so much alike, es
pecially old Ones, I concluded that J
was mistaken and that he, too, was a
stranger. However, I*walked up to
him and said, “Good morning, uncle,
can yon tell me who lives In yon dwell
ing?”
“Maanin’, boss, maanin’. Yes, sar,
I kin tell you who libs dar. It am
Jedge Green as libs dar -now, but date
de spot whar Mars John and Miss Mil
lie used to lib afo’ de war, an’ whiu* 1
missef libed fifty year. I cams here
once a year to git chestnuts from dis
here ole tree, kaise dar ain’t no chest
nuts in dis world as can cum np wid
dese.”
1 knew him then.'- ’Twas old uncle
Sol, a faithful servant of my father
and grandfather.
“Why, Uncle Sol,” says I, “dear
Uncle Sol, is it possible that yon are
still alive and well ?”
Who Is dat call’o’ me so glib.
G’long wafon here, white man, an’

I assured him that I was alive and
before him and that it had been thirty
years since we parted. “You must re
member, Uncle Sol, that a 10-year-olo
boy changes greatly In thirty years.”
“Cose dey duy, Mars Z-.ke, cose dej

A Believer in Signs.
There used to be a curious character
named Vellgt downJm Fulton county,
Indiana, says the Chicago Herald. He
was noted over his whole section as
the greatest eater and the firmest be
liever in “signs” that ever sat on the
banks of Eel river and angled for
bass. He planted his corn In the dark
of the moom and laid fail fences in the
light. He sheared his sheep when the
sign was in tbe head, and laid bare his
own neck from the winter’s growth of
beard when the zodiac pointed to
Taurus. He shingled his barn In the
moon’s first quarter, and gathered his
seed Corn when Cancer was king. He
wouldn’t ride behind a horse that
hadn’t been broken in the sign of the
reins, and when Scorpio ruled he con
sidered a secret sate. There was noth
ing on earth he didn’t believe could be
properly donejn the signs, and noth
ing that didn’t threaten destruction if
the signs were disregarded.
He had a neighbor named Isaac
Brown, a great joker, who grew rich
in spite of the fact that be paid no
more attention to the signs, which
were so large a part of Vellet’s econo
my, than he did to the color of the
clouds at midnjght. Finally Yellet
died, as eccentric men sometimes will,
and the assessor came aropnd in the
spring and missed him.
“What was the matter with him?”
asked the official of Isaac Brown.

fanner, “I come home one night along

.“Won’t you tell me abont the first
carbon lamp yon ever made?”
“Ah, that is a story. The carbon ol
the firsti&mp was made of a spool ol
Clark’s thread. All night Batchellcr,
my assistant—the greatest an 1 Lc-. -
my assistants, the man of infinite pa
tience and -Indefatigable persistence-
worked beside me. The next day wo
worked alJ day and then all night
again, and at the end of that time vre
had produced one carbon out of a
spool of Clark’s thread.
Having made it, it was necessary
to take It to the glassblower’s bouse.
With the utmost preceution Batchellor
took up the precious carbon,- and I
marched after him, as if guarding
mighty treasure, to the glassblower’
cabby-hole. To our consternation,
just as we reached the glassblower’
bench the wretched carbon broke.
“Batchellor tuaned aronnd and look
ed at me snd said, ‘Edison, we won’
sleep till we get one.* ”
At the recollection Edison lay back
in his chair and langhed heartily
When he had recovered from the fit be
said:
“That was one of Batchellor’s per
petual phrases which he had said to me
a hundred times before, and which 1
had said to him; We turned back to
main laboratory and set to work again
“It was late in tbe afternoon_before
we had produced another perfect car
bon. The same procession as in tbe
morning passed to the glassblower’s
den. It was safely deposited on the
bench, were Batchellor laid it down,
when a jeweler’s screw-driver—a very
little utensil, as you know—rolled
down and broke the carbdn again.
“Batchellor looked at the broken
carbon with staring, wide-open eyes,
and I did too. Fully a minute elapsed
before either spoke. Batchellor turned
aronnd—he is a very mild-mannered
man—but if Uncle Toby could be for
given for swearing, and the recording
angel blotted out the old soldier’s
oath with a tear, surely be did the
same for Batch.
‘Well, I am d—d,’ said Batch, and
then he added^vitb a grim look on hi*
face: 'Job got too d—d much reputa
tion fqr patience on a small capital.’
‘So, disappointed but not disheart
ened, we turhed hSCB again, and bc-
fore'night a carbon was completed and
inserted in tbe lamp. Tbe lamp wa>
exhau&ed of sir and sealed, the current
turned on, and tbe light that is to t*
the light of the world met our eyes for
the first time In all its beauty.”
“Can you tell me how many chil
dren of that first lamp there are in tbe
world to-day?”
“I can not,” he answered.
“Do you know, Tate?Z’ he sa T d,
turning around to the secretary. The
secretary shook his head..
“I suppose it is past finding ont,’
continued Edison, “bnt the output of
tbe TTnlted States is fifty thousand t
day.. Of these the Edison company
manufactures* one-half—say twenty-
five thousand a day.
Aj□$,” be continued with a certaiz
grimness^‘‘will manufacture the entire
fifty thousand, or as many more as th«
country needs. The ontpnt of Iamp»
for the whole world is eighty thonsam
a day, or twenty-four millions a year
This gives you an idea of tbe growtl
and spread of the electric light. Twice
as many lamps are made in a day at
sufficed for a whole year ten year/
ago. If yon calculate the lamp at 40
cents each yon will see that the work
is paying little short of $10,000,000 »
year for the children of the lamp'that

“A question of very great interest ti
tbe public is whether tbe falling Int<

“It will do nothing of the kind. The
increase of ontpnt will work a redac
tion in the cost of manufacture, so that
there will be no necessity to charge th*
public.an additional rate tor the lamp
enough additional profit going witl

The village of New England ar«
among the pleasantest in the world,
and the qjiief secret of their charm i
summed up in one word. Trees. Th<
people who laid them out, a century o-
two ago, had the good sense to plant t
few score of'young trees about tb(
green and along the streets. Nov
look at them! Glorious elms arch tin
streets, and envelop the place in shade
Tbe meanest cottage is pleasant and
picturesqe if it stands beneath a fin»
old tree. Tbe poorest villege is goo(
to live in if it nestles under giant treer.

Plant them round tbe chnrcb. Plan

and towns pleasant with trees.
FLIES hTARYED~BI THOUSANDS
They Corer ihe Floor In Nlntoes In
an Unoccupied .Building.
From tbe Cincinnati Enquirer.
Marion, O., August 2.—A strange
sight can be seen in the large 200-fooi
new room in the Cummin Memorial
block, jnst completed. The room U
very light, and in some manner im
mense numbers of flies have got inside,
and as tbe room is unoccupied and
kept closed, tens of thousand of dead
flies cover a good share of the large
floor, evidently being starved to death.
Wonders
Are wrought by the use of Ayer’s Hair
Vigor In restoring gray hair to its original
color, promoting a new growth, prevent-
Mg the hair from falling, keeping it soft;
silky, and abundant, and the scalp coo^
healthy, and free-from dandruff or humors.*
The universal testimony Is that this prep
aration has no equal as a dressing, and
is, therefore, indispensable to every well-
furnislied toileff ^
**I have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor for soma
time and it has worked wonders for me. I
was troubled*with dandruff and was rapidly '
. becoming bald; but since using the Vigor my
head Is perfectly clear of dandruff, the hair
has ceased coming out, and I now have a
good growth, of the same color os when I
was a yonng woman. I can heartily recom-
'-tnend any one suffering from dandruff or
loss of hair to use Ayer’s Hair Vigor as a
dressing:” — Mrs. Lydia O. Moody, East
Pittston, Me.
“Some time- ago my wife’s hair began to
come out quite freely.
Ayer’s;
Hair Vigor
not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. I am ready to certify to this
statement before a justice of the peace.**—
H. Hulsebus, Lewisburgh, Iowa.
“Some years ago, after a severe attack ot
brain fever, my bair all came out. I used
such preparations for restoring it os mynhy-
sicians ordered, but failed to prodnee a
growth of hair. I then tried, successively,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing tho
desired result. The lost remedy I applied
was.Ayer’s Hair Vigor, which brought a
growth of hair in a few weeks. I think I
used eight bottles in two years; more th»n
* was necessary as a restorative, but 1 liked tt
as a dressing, and have continued to nse It
for that purpose. I believe Ayer's Hair
Vigor possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation no won the market.**
