Edisnn,s Talking Machine.

The travelling public will be joyful at
the announcement that the photograph
can be applied to the whistles of locomo-
hves and roar out the names of the sta
tiOns SO loudly as to be heard by every
passenger, and by all the country round.
No more bewilderment from the brake
mans attempt to give the names of
American towns IN compound of brok-
en- Choctaw and the speech Of primeval
monkeys. That part of his occupation
in which he appears to take fendish de-
light is gone. Probably the utterance
of the phonotype ea SO large a scale will
not be of q soothing nature but if they
are Ineligible we can bear them. Mr..
Edison calls the machine when applied
to steam whistles the airophone.
The inventor has received by cable
offers from England of large sums in
hand and hall the profit OF its intro
duction into that country. bis account
of the manner in which he discovered
the principle of this last scientific won

Turkish journalism,

Constantinople is not well supplied
with news, although that city supports
eighteen daily papers printed In English,
French, Turkish, Greek, Armenian,
Spanish, and Bulgarian. Reporters are
unknown. The editorials of the Greek
and Armenian newspapers are on church
matters alone, while the Turkish papers
are filed chiefly with translations from
the European press. The way news
items are banded about is amusing.
The Turkish paper, BGSSjret, publishes
an item in the morning, which is served
up in slightly altered garb in the LeUort
Herald in the evening, and is copied
next morning into the Bassiqet as indie.

The Fighting McCOOks,

A rather remarkable coincidence oc-
Cured few evenings since at the Third
street crossing restaurant, one that has
q little tinge OF romance in it. A party
of four gentlemen, strangers, we be-
heye, were seated around table sip
ping their coffee and waiting for train.
There was little OF the commonplace,
desultory conversation, such as is usual
among strangers, when, from some incl
dent, it turned to the late war. It soon
became known that all the gentlemen
had been in the service. Now comes
the singular fact that each had been in
an Ohio regiment, but separate ones,
and that each had been in regiment
commanded by member of the cele-
brated McCook family. IT seemed
rather remarkable that party of four
soldiers, years after being mustered out
of the service, should meet in this way
by accident, and that their respective
four regimental commanders should
have been brothers. One of the veter-
ans was member of the First Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, Col A. D. McCook;
another of the Second Ohio Volunteer
Infantry, Colonel Arson G. McCook;
another of the Ninth Ohio Volunteer
Infantry, Col Robert McCook, and the
fourth man of the Fifty-second Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, Col. Daniel Nc
Cook. The conversation between the
veterans was becoming interesting and
animated when the sound of the loco
motive bell called them to separate, but
it was with hearty "shake and good.

A Little (3irl's Pet

For the past two or three weeks a
family by the name of Flaherty, residing
in Burlington, VT, have noticed that
their young daughter, 7 years old, has
each day stolen into the back yard with
pieces Of bread, meat and whatever else
she could lay her hands on in the shape
of food. When questioned she invaria-
bly, answered that she fed her kitty with
the food. Nothing was thought of this,
the mother supposing that her child had
made pet of some stray cat. But on
Monday the action of the little girl was
fully explained. About the middle Of
the afternoon she went out with her &C
customed supply of food, but shortly
returned with an enormous rat in her
arms. The parents of the child were
both absent, an 1e-year-oId daughter
and an 11-year-old son only being at
home. Like most young ladies OF the
present day, the sister lost all control Of
herself, and, jumping upon the table,
commenced series of hysterical cries.
The brother grasped his young sister,
who at this time had dropped her pet,
threw her upon the bed, and then went
for the rat. He inaugurated the contest
by trying to kick the rat to death. But
the animal showed fight and was much
too active for the boy, grasping him by
the pants number of times. but fortu-
nately not being able to fasten his teeth
into the legs of the boy. Finally poker
was secured, and well-directed blow
stunned the rat. It was but the work
of few minutes To h11nh Il = 60 -

NEWSPAPERS.

Between two and three thousand newspapers in the
United States are printed upon what is known as the
Cooperative plan. Nearly 40 per cent of all the weekes
adopt this method. Itmqkes better paper at lower
COST and is specially suited for the requirements of
pers in small towns and villages The system maintains
competition with the printed country journals to
such extent that but those firmly established
and backed up by accumuations OF former prosperity
are able to stand beside it, and in the matter of adVers
ing it offers circulation at price with which the great
Weeies are unable to compete The matter has become
OF vital Importance and the New York Times journal

crusade In its issues of March 4h 18th and 18th there
appeared long libeous articles. Every statement con-

rat had regained his wonted vigor, and
stood in acorner at bay. Nothing could
induce the cat to make an attack, not

upon his ratship, and the boy found it
necessary to finish the rat with the poker.

How to Break Bottle Scientifically.

To break glass bottle or jar across
its circumference: Place the bottle in a
vessel of water to the height where it is
designed to break it: also I'LL the bottle
to the same level. Now pour coal oil in
side and out on the water; cut ring of
paper fitting the bottle. Saturate with
alcohol or benzine, SO that it touches the
oil. Pour, also, some inside the bottle.
Set on fire; the cold water prevents the
glass from heating below it's surface,
while the expansion caused by the heat
will break the vessel on the water line. -

The Tramp Nuisance.

This nuisance is attaining such pro-
portions as to demand the enactment
of the most stringent vagrant laws,
and their vigorous enforcement for
the protection Of our citizens Our
town is invaded daily by these pests,
who intrudc themselves upon the
privacy of every family aud elanor
for bread. Nearly every man OF
them is stalwart, vigorous and healthy,
but he receives all proposals OF em-
ploymem as an insult. Every cili-
zen should consider it bis indispensl-
BILE duty to have every able bodied
tramp, who asks him for something
TO eat, arrested as a vagrant aud d
suspicious character; for two-thirj,
of them are thieves and the rest o
