NEWARK, July 10. ls90.--A terrible ac-
cident. which resulted in the death of the
victim this morning, occurred at the new
spur of the Pennsylvania Railroad near
Magazine street last evening. Angelina
Knott, an Italian boy, aged seventeen,
was employed to carry water to the work
men ON the railroad. In order TO reach
the water faucet. he had to cross the
track ON which a long line Of freight cars
were standing. To save little time he
took short cut and crawled under the
cars with the water pail.
Hardly had the boy got under the
freight car when the train began to move.
Before he could reach a place of safety
the wheels were upon him. He was ter
ribly man gled, his arms and legs being
mashed and crushed so that amputation
was imperative. The police ambulance
took him 10 st. Michaelss Hospital, where
he died at quarter to seven O'clock this
morning. He lived on River street

Moro Anecd0tes Of Rdison.

Even in Edison's younger days the
spirit OF invention was always uppermost.
One night, when sunrise was almost In
order, he was found with a lot of cock
reaches penned up in one corner of his
desk. BE had made a circuit to pass
through a channel of moisture, which
was veritable dead line for the poor
bugs, every one attempting the passage
dropped dead and every one was COM
PEELED to make the attempt twas sure,
and to all appearances a painless death.
Not more than one kick carried the bug
through into vermin fairy land. There
was little time to develop cruelty, but
that 1t was an unusual means of execu-
ton goes without saying.
Clothes he rarely bought; all his spare
money went into his inventions. The
result of his first invention, a stock ticker,
several thousand dollars vanished like the
dew; he could not tell himself where.
In those days he had thought of the
electric light. One Sunday the Office
was properly darkened. some wires were
strung and after a little the bright light
burst forth under his touch, impractic-
able then, but in it the germ of wonder
full possibilities. 4 tall fiaxen-haired
young man stood by at that time, who
had learned to be very expert steno-
grapher, said nothing, but afterward
proved to be great rival Of Edison's in
the production of the electric light.
This man was that erratic genius, Sawyer,
afterward of Sawyer Mann fame.
The electric light was not ready for
the world, then. Edison was too busy.
Stearns was busy on the duplex, and as
Boston was the headquarters Of his expert
ments, Edison's mind was bent toward
the problem of multplex telegrapby.
How well he followed up the ideas he
obtained at that time was proved by his
production of quadruple teIegraphy
some months later. /
One day Edison came out as a butterfly
from the chrysalis. 4 new silk hat,
fine broadclOth suit, a fashionable neck /
tie, polished boots, and, wonder of won
ders, cane and pair of colored kid
gloves. The same group almost to man
that welcomed him among them wears
before, gathered around him IN wonder.

An Albanian Blood Feud.

Being in confidential mood, my host
tells me about his family and his chill
dren, and that he has a blood feud with
one of the most powerful families of the
neighboring Hotti tribe, and so never
goes out of the village alone, for fear he
shonld be shot for the blood he owes his
enemies. His sister, he explains, mar

cred a splendid match, as that tribe is the
most powerful in the great mountains,

sent her home, giving no reason for the
outrage, but merely saying he was not
going to keep the woman any longer.

there was no chance of obtaining for
their sister the restitution of her rights,
looked out for an opportunity of killing
their brother-in-law ''He was very

History and Origin of Wheat.

Wheat, which Is now the bread corn
of twelve European nations, and is fast
supplanting maize in America and several
inferior grains in India, was no doubt
widely grown in the prehistoric world.
The Chinese cultivated it 200 B. c. as a
gift direct from heaven; the Egyptians
attributed its origin to Isis and the Greeks
toCeres.
Ancient monuments show that the
cultivation Of wheat had been established
in Egypt before the invasion of the
shepherds, and there IS evidence that
more productive varieties of wheat have
taken the place of one, at least, of the
ancient sorts. Innumerable varieties
exist Of compton wheat. Colone! lie
Couteur, of Jersey, cultivated $50
varieties. Mr.. Darwin mentions a French
gentleman who had collected 322
varieties, and the great firm of seed
merchants, ViImorin- Andrieux ct Gle.
cultivate about twice as many in their
grounds near Paris. In theirrecent work
on LES MeilIeurs Bles, = VI. Henry L. de
Vilmorin has described sixty-eieht
varieties of best wheat, which ne has
classed into seven groups, though these
groups can hardly be called distinct
species, since NJ. Henry L. Vilmorin has
crossbreed three of them and has found
the offspring fertile. Three small-grained
varieties of common wheat were cult
waited by the first lake dwellers of Switzer-
land and of Italy, by the people of
Hungary in the stone age, and by the
Egyptians on the evidence of brick of
pyramid in which a grain was imbedded,
and to which the date of 1859 B. c. has
been assigned.
The existence of names for wheat in
the most ancient languages confirms this
evidence of the antiquity of It's culture in
all the more temperate parts of Europe,
Asia and Africa, but it seems improbable
that wheat has ever beea found growing
persistently in a wild safe, although the
fact has often been asserted by poets,
travellers and historisns.-EdiaJur Re

of those who have died OF been killed in
battle. At the feast held at Lincoln
there were six ghosts, represented by
six stakes about four feet in length, set up
in the ground within the medicine lodge.
A piece of buckskin was sewed ever the
top Of the stakes, upon which eyes, nose,
mouth, etc, were marked to represent
Etc. . c,lla2sSs with the big medi-
cine man Of the village, were seated in
teepee smoking, but rarely speaking to
each other. Some live Goals were brought
and placed before the medicine man,
who threw upon them wild sage brush,
and holding some pemmican in the smoke
chauted song. Little children were
brought in, and received this meat to eat,
and some mad their cars pierced. The
pemmican was also given to the others
in the lodge, and some was placed at the
feet of the ghost
Outside the lodge hundreds Of Indians
were gathered, forming groups of doz-
en- or so, bucks, squaws and children in
their respective places. Ali were feasted
with menu known only to Indians.
Around the outside of the medicine lodge
horizontal poles were placed, and to
these the presents which the ghosts were
to distribute were suspended, consisting
of blankets, leggings, beaded moccasins,
tobacco bags, eagle feathers. etc. After
remaining for some time in view, they
were removed and placed about the
ghosts in the lodge. The relatives now
entered the lodge to commune with the
departed spirits, and the presents were
distributed to the favored ones.
The squaws sang and cried and made
great exhibition OF their grief. They
cut their flesh with knives, suffering ex-
circulating pains without murmur to ap-
pease the wrath of the evil spirits. so that
their loved ones may be joyful in the
happy hunting grounds. Upon the con-
ciusion of the feast the lodge was taken
down aud the ghosts were left standing.

life of soldier, or are YOU out OF en-

Neither of these, said the applicant
for army honors. Il have been hard

snap than TO be a soldier. "
"Well, now, just listen one moment

be retaken, court martialed and SEN
