Woman on the Phonograph

A Mob Hill man retired early last
evening, weary with the heat and tired
out from a protracted siege Of pedro,
and vainly endeavored to WOO the dr0wsy
god, sustained and soothed by the unin-
terrupted flow of small talk from his
wakeful spouse. Her conversation was
not exactly in the line of a curtain lee
ture, as she was not in an inharmonious
mood, but was rather seeking informa-
ton on the worlds work Her last
question to her noddiug lord was in ref
erence to Edison and his inventions.
Chow about the photograph, dear?"
Sac queried; you never have explained
it to me. How does it work."
He reused himself and answered:
D." It's a little machine that the hus-
band leaves on the table while he is down
town, and on his return he turns a
crank, and it informs him of everything
that has been said on the premises dur
ing his absence"
She meditated a moment, then broke
out:
"The fool men are always getting up
some pesky invention, and if you bring
one of those things in this house I'll
leave"
He promised not to do 50, if she would
let him go to sleep, and great silence
fell on the room. But she is now firm in
the belief that Edison is monster and
an enemy to poor, weak women.-EUekG

An Ancient Quilt.

The ladies in charge of the Loan eyhi-
bition ought to try to get possession OF
very curious bed-quilt taken to the
Republican state convention at Hartford
by one of the delegates. 1t was made
by his grandmother, Ruth Kirby, who
lived at Middletown Upper Houses"
near Cromwell. 1t is cotton bed-quilt
made in 1776-0ne hundred and two
years ago.
The old lady carded, spun and wove
the cotton herself by hand, and it is a
very soft piece of cloth. After the
weaving she had it stamped, and great
attraction to it is this printing, which
was of course done also by hand with
blocks cut by hand. Two patterns are
shown, each stamp appearing alternately
on the cloth. The designs are noticeably
free and graceful. Figures in the dress
of that time, men wearing the cooked
hats, are seen. There are deer, cattle,
sheep, birds and other creatures, several
kinds of trees with their proper foliage,
and house and a church. The house
has the dormer windows, and is an or
binary looking building, but the church
with its rounded tower, is not liked any
thing one would have been likely to see
in this country at that period. That,
and the fact that one of the figures is
carrying load on his head, and also,
perhaps, the appearance of deer among
the domestic animals, suggest a foreign
artist as designer.

The Monkey ana the Dentist

One of the large monkeys at the
Alexandra palace had been for some
time suffering from the decay Of the
right lower canine, and an abcess, form.
ing large protuberance on tie jaw
had resulted. The pain seemed so great
it was decided to consult dentist as to
what should be done, and as the poor
creature was at times very savage, it
was thought that if the tooth had to be
extracted the gas should be used for the
safety of the operator. Preparations
were made accordingly, but the behavior
of the monkey was quite surprise to
all who were concerned. He showed
great fight on being taken out of his
cage, and not one struggle against being
put into a sack prepared, with a hole
cut for his head, but forced one of his
hands out and snapped and screamed
and gave promise to be very troublesome.
Directly, however, Mr.. Levin MoseIy,
who had undertaken the operation,
managed to get his hand on the abcess
and gave relief, the monkeys demeanor
changed entirely. He laid his head
down quietly for examination, and with
out the use of the gas submitted to the
removal of stump and tooth as quietly
as possible.-London Nature.

a Dramatic Tragedy,

An exchange suggests that modern
playwrights, on the watch for a new SEN
sation, could hardly ask one more dra-
matte or more dire than the catastrophe
that happened at sea not long ago:
Two dozen boats full of Greek sponge
fishers were getting water in Mandrouka,
when a party Of Arabs tried to make
them pay tribute of money and food for
the privilege. They were driven off
after bloody fray, with their ammuni-
ton gone; but just then a contraband
seller of powder came on the scene with
his vessel. The fishermen hurried to
him, and got his promise not to sell
powder to the Arabs till after their own
departure next morning. He gave the
pledge, but then, rejecting what good
thing he had lost, broke his word and
landed few barrels at midnight. The
fishermen rushed aboard his vessel, volu-
bic with reproaches, and, it is said, struck
him. The enraged trader drew his re-
volver and fired into his powder barrels,
when terrible explosion tore to shreds
the vessel and all on board. OF the
seventy Greek fishermen that 50 persisted,
