INK AN IMPORTANT FACTOR.

The machinery Of governments
is rum by ink When congress is
in session it is sometimes assisted,
by wind, but ink it is that keeps
the ball going all the year round
causing us to be a PROSPEROUS and
contentei people. Were it not
for the constant and Liberal supply
Of the murky fluid. the wheels Of
government would cease to go
round; not even Kelley S ''etheric"
or "dynospheric" force could make
them move, Thousands Of ffffS
streams Of ink pouring in eeeen--
tric curves keep tile machine
going. Stop these and the govern
ment would stop
Something like $4,000 quarts Of
ink are used every year for the de-
partments, besides that used i'm
making money and that to stamp
into perpetual form the wisdom
of our statesmen at the capital.

lef7sp ST. 900 bills for that piece OF
paper I should give up the check
very quick"
On arriving at the Bank of
America he hesitated about enter
hing, fearing still that something
might be wrong. At last, how
ever, he mustered up courage and
determined to try it. He knew that
Gen. Lefferts had told him he
would get his money here, so he
lbraced ahead and half trembling
showed his check out to the
cashier. -.--
The latter scruiinized It closely,
gave Edison piercing glance, and
said something which Edison could
not understand, as he was hard ol
hearing.
That was enough. He was now
more than convinced that his
"check'' wasn't worth $4,000
and again thought as Ire, rushed
out of the bank with it that any
man who would give him $2,0G
could walk away with the check
|. He hurried back TO the Western
Union and said he couldn't gel
any money. General Laferts ther
sent a man with him to identify
him. He said: "This man is
Thomas A. Edison, to whose Order
the check is drawn
"Why, certainly, Mr.. Edison,'
said the cashier, very obsequiously
'sHow would you like your $40,
OOO-ifi What shapee'
"Oh, any way to suit the bank
1t doesn't make any difference te
me so long as I get my money"
Edison was given $4,000 il
large bills. After divided the rol
into wads of $40, 900 each he stuffed
one into each trousers pocket
buttoned up his coat as tightly a
possible. and nlade a break to ge

BEATS THE RECORD.

The steamship City of Paris
crossed the Atlantic ocean arriving
at Landy Hook last week five days,
twenty-three hours, and seven
minutes out from Queenstown.
This beats the record by two hours
and forty y-eight minutes. The
daily runs of the City of Paris
were AS, 492, 5O4, sos, 511 and
49S miles-the last being for part
of a day. On three of these days
she beat the record as we'll as on
the entire run. The City of Paris
and the City Of New York are
sister steamers, and are provided
with twin screws which, it was
claimed, would cause them to re-
duce the time ton the passage from
Queenstown to Sandy Hook to less
than six days. The City of Paris
has accomplished what was promis-
ed. They are both triumphs of
marine architecture and engineer
ing, and were designed to do just
what has been performed. The
most recent number of London
Engineering contrasts the fast voy-
ages made by the Etruria, Umbra,
and the City of Paris, and clearly
prophesies what has now been
realized, that the latter would
break the record. The Etruria's s
fastest trip was made in June,
1888, when she ran from Queens
town to Sandy Hook in 6 days. 1
hour and 47 minutes. Her best
days runs were 49G, 4S5 and 500
miles. These are to be contrasted
with the City Of Paris record of
4O4, sos, 511 miles.

. Story About Edison.

The other day smooth-faced
man, wearing handsome clothes
and displaying soiled collar and
a necktie all awry, and shoes that
never experienced the skillful
manipulations of a bootblack, and
finger nails that never met a. mani.
cure, leaned his elbow on a Wash
ington counter and conversed in
the jolliest way with circle of
newspaper friends. He looked
like tramp, but he really is one
of the most famous men in the
world, and his name is known in
every part of the globe. OF
course he is an Ohio man. His
name is Thomas Alva Edison, and
he was once a peanut boy and
news butcher on railway in the
Buckeye State. During a little
luncheon Edison, between hearty
drinks of beer, his favorite bever'
age, told in his quaint way the
story of his first acquaintance with
any large sum of money. 1t was
in the days when he was struggling
along with his earliest inventions
and didn't have a big capitalist te
back him. In fact, he didn't have
any bank account himself and
hardly knew what one was. Bank
check were things he had never
had occasion to use, and had about
as much idea of their value as the
man in the moon.
Edison had finally sold his pa

to get the money.
