A Good Story of Edison.

Inventor Edison has farmer brother
in Michigan, who enjoys life as much
as he does He tells this story, which
be had never seen in print: 1T would
require vivid imagination to beat the
truth in Toms case, he said. He
has had many singular experiences.
When a Waterman at station in STRAIT
ford, Ont, he was expected to pull =
button every forty minutes during the
night to inform all parties interested
that he was on deck. Before he had
been in the position long his inventive
faculties were set to work, and he soon
had the button pulled by an electrical
device as regular as clock-wOrk. Tom
then calmly went to bed and slept all
night like a white man. This worked
first-rate until two trains came ne: :
colliding through his lack Of attention,
fact which caused him to throw up
his position and return to this side Of
the line Boston Traveller.

A good fluid glue, ready at all times
for instant use, without any preliminary
preparation, is one Of the most useful ar
ticles Of stock with which the workshop
can be furnished. To make such glue
all that is necessary is TO melt three lbs.
Of glue in quart of water, and then
drop in an equally small quantity Of nj
trio acid. When this ingredient is add
ed the mixture is removed from the fire
and allowed TO cool. Glue so prepared
has been Kept in an open kettle for
years and still ready for use on the in
slant.

For the benefit of those over-economic
people who have way Of turning down
low the light Of the Kerosene lamp when
leaving room for little while, it may
be said that experiment demonstrates
that the saving in oil by this means is
hardly appreciable. With the low flame
a considerable quantity of the products
of incomplete combustion are making
their escape into the air; and these are
not only offensive to the sense Of smell,
but are injurious to the health.

The Ethics of aealth.

Too much of the Christian philosophy
OF this and every age has proceeded upon
the assumption of disaster. Indeed,
Christianity itself has been regarded as a
plan for rescuing the race from stupen.
dous moral crisis. We honor church
whose work has been the means of lifting
up and saving some fallen soul. Shall
we not honor yet the church whose inf1u-
ence has prevented hundred souls from
needing such salvation? We praise the
physician who has performed some won
derful cure when man was sick. Does
he not deserve yet greater praise who
with deep sense of duty has taught a
hundred men how to keep we'll? Wives
may need the discipline of caring for sick
husbands, but the average wife will find
discipline enough in living with we'll hus-
band. What right has the man with
shattered nerves and broken down
heakh to inflict his temper upon other
people? do not say it is impossible
Tor man Of ill.heslth to keep sweet.
tempered, but do say that there are
not many cases OF the kind on record.
Above all, man is in this world for some
worthy service; the best that he can do
with all his powers at their best will be
none too good. Is it not a positive sin
for man to waste his bodily resources,
to squander the capital that God gave
him, whether it be much or little? If
you men set to run an engine how care
full you would be that every bolt and nut
and joint should be kept in its place and
in order. Shall man give less care to
keep in order this marvellous working
engine which he is set to use to the
highest of all ends?-lRev. Geo. L.

Our Belva i'm Whitechapel.

Belva Lockwood, who is at present in
London, is known to have the courage of
her convictions, but she broke all of her
previous records this week by going
down alone into Whitechapel to visit the
scenes of Jack the Ripper's amusement,
an adventure that great many men
would not care to undertake. Lockwood
did not use her tricycle., however, though
she has it with her in London. but drove
down on an omnibus. Among other
things witnessed by the ex-candidate for
President was fight in Castle alley,
brought about by q talkative woman.
"Finally," said Lockwood, in describing
the fracas, "a man raised his fist and
dealt the talkative woman blow in the
face, from which she bled freely, bat
still continued to talk"
The latter circumstance need not have
surprised woman who knows her sex
30 we'll as Lockwood does, but she did
her duty when ultimately a policeman
arrived, by saying to him: "Sir, you
should have come BEFORE" Like all
policemen he was callous to this reproof,
and responded: "Oh, madame, this is
q matter of hourly occurrence. l have
just taken two men from this locality to
the station" This disgusted the re.
former, and she returned to civilization
