OUR TALKING MACHINE.
The First Phonograph ever brought

self in one season

The AGRICULTURIsT Office has ma
chine that for talking discounts all Of
the gossipy women of DeLand put to-
gether, for it never gets tired, it never
sleeps, it never talks unless you want it
to, and best of all, it don't wear bonnets
or bustles.
The machine in question is the pho
nograph, the most wonderful invention
of that most remarkable man, Tom Edi-
son. This little machine is easily ope-
rated, runs by electricity; you talk into
a little tube, the sound is secured on a
wax cylinder: change tubes, set the
motor to work and the little machine
sasses You back in good style. Preach
to it and it will preach back ''cuss" it
and it will "cuss'' you. If you sing or
whistle for it, it will return the compli-
ment. In fact it is wonderful little
invention and we'll worth seeing.
1t is the first instrument placed in the
State. ~

PARcE's IRRIGAToR.
A Simple ContrIvance That VIII be
a Blessing to Gardeners.

a Blessing to Gardeners.
Mr.. j. Y. Parce has invented and now
has in operation in his garden a; the
Parceland Hotel an irrigating arrange
ment that will prove blessing to Flori-
da gardeners. It's simplicity and effect
iveness impresses one at first sight.
As conclusive proof that it does its
work we'll, Mr.. Parce has a straw
berry bed, part of which is with
in reach of the water from the machine
and the other part is not. The portion
of the bed that has been operated upon
is in fine ccndition-fresh and green,
with heavy crop OF ripening fruit, and
small berries and blooms in all stages of
development. That portion of the bed
which has not received the benefit of the
water is fired sick looking and nearly
devoid of fruit.
1t is difficult matter to describe the
arrangement intelligently, though it is
simple, without the aid of drawing. It
consists oil a frame in the garden,
or that portion of it whichit is desired to
irrigate. This frame is simple and mex
oensive and consists of uprights AKA
about II feet high. These uprights are
set in the ground across the space de-
signed to be irrigated, and on top of this is
placed a strip 2x4 Another line of these
uprights, in the same manner, are placed
- e.
til the desired space is covered. A one
inch pipe extends on the top of this
frame, from one end to the other, and at
tsched to the pipe about ten feet apart
are quarter inch pipes extending down
ward about five feet. On these smaller
pipes are attached revolving sprinklers.
On one end of the pipe is an oscillating
bucket. The water from an elevated
tank runs into one side of it, which
causes it to revolve partially around, car
rying the one-inch pipe with it, and ele-
waiting the quarter-inch sprinkling tubes
to an angle of As degrees and giving
them swinging motion. The water
goes from the bucket to the one
inch pipe and from this into the sprink-
ling tubes, which throws the water ads
tance of aDouttenfeet. Theopposite side
of the bucket is then filled and the tubes
are elevated to the same angle on the op-
posite side. The entire apparatus travels
along the frame, however long it may be,
until it reaches the end.
Mr.. Parce has made application for a
patent, and is ready to furnish the ap-
paratus to all who desire it. The cost is
very low, compared to other systems,
and the entire outfit for an acre would
cost but little and would more than pay
for itself in one season.

Man Under The Bed.

The staid and dignifed United
States Senate received a terrible
shock last Thursday. Shortly after
going into executive session, (these
sessions are always held with closed
doors and cleared galleries), a man
WAS discovered in the public gallery
calmly watching the proceedings.
Hoar of Massachusetts went into
cunniption fits while Edmunds faint
ed dead away. After it was discov-
cred by the whole body that there was
really "a man under the bed" they
all set up an incoherent screech.
The s-rgeant-at-arms flew to the gal
lery and nearly jeIked the life out of
the intruder in getting him out The
poor fellow would have been "torn
assunder" but that it was discovered
that he was not newspaper man but
had only been stretched on one of the
seats asleep and was, consequently,
overlooked when the gallery was clear
ed. 1t was a narrow escape
The latest dispatches indicate that
there is good prospect that the hon
orable Senators will recover from this
great nervous shock during the holi-
day recess. Let all good patriots
pray that this may come about.

Why!

Just to think of the Associated
Press sending this dispatch all over
the country:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Speakcr
Reed went up to the White House
yesterday. Speaker Reed had in his
pockets an armful of papers
indorsing man for an office in his
district. Mr.. Reed laid the papers
on Mr.. Harrison's desk with the re-
mark that he had known the man all
his life and could personally declare
that the Endorsements were not over
drawn, and simply did justice to the
character of the applicant. Mr.. Har-
rison looked at the papers in his usu-
al cool -blooded and pious way, and
said he was glad to hear it and would
have the character of the man inves-
tigated. No you don't Lave his
character investigated" said Mr..
Reed. "You can't investigate the
character of any of the people | in
dorse. don't think that / will leave
the papers," and with this Mr.. Reed
gathered up the papers and bowed
himself out of the White House.
