A Phonographic Story.

Another use Of the phonograph. Mr..
Edison, when he returns from Europe,
will furnish all his friends with the
Photographic story Of his travels. This
will be the fashion very soon. Nothing
could well be more amusing and instruc-
tive. While letter describing journeys,
to be enjoyed by number of persons at
once, must be read aloud by one of the
number, the photograph tells the tale ex-
actly as the narrator would tell it were
he present, putting in all the reflections,
the accents and peculiarities of voice
which make up the narrators personal
ity. A photogram giving an account of
ones experiences must be prepared with
care, since it will be telling tho tale long
after one is vanished and in the dust,
just as cne's human lips told it.-Chicago
Herald.

Eafllar and Son.

The deaths of ex-Judge W. B. Brown
and Frank Brown, his son, only three
hours apart, were most singular and sad,
writes a New Philadelphia (o) corre-
spondent. The son had q deep affection
for his father, who was on bed Of sick
ness and not expected to live. Frank
had repeatedly warned the family that
when the hour arrived for his father to
die they would not be separated, but
would cross the river of death hand in
hand. True to his prediction and wish,
when the father was passing quietly
away and the hour of dissolution had
arrived, the son, who had been in his
usual health, threw up his hand as an
indication that he too was ready, and
fell dead to the floor. The father never
recovered consciousness, but died three
hours later. Their ages were "a and SO
respectively.

The first hearse owned in Brunswick,
Me-, has been stored for many years In
the barn at the town almshouse. 1t is a
sort of two storied affair, and last week
it was purchased by two Canadians, who
covered it with old canvas, put into it a
small cooking stove and their blankets,
harnessed up their old horse and Monday
started on tour to Canada.
