Edison,s First MARRIAGE.

The story of Edison's first marriage
shows how completely he is dominated
by the experimenting fever. He had
never thought of getting married, but
when some of his friends urged upon
him the advisability of taking wife he
assented and said that if they would find
nice girl he would marry her He
finally picked out pleasant faced girl
from his factory and asked her to marry
him. She consented, and Edison agreed
to leave his beloved laboratory for Il
days wedding trip. On the way from
the chapel in which they were married
to the railway station the carriage passed
the laboratory.
The temptation was too much. Edi-
son stopped the carriage and, telling the
bride that he would follow her to the
station in time to catch the train, he
plunged into some experiment that had
occurred to him during the church SER
vices. Hour after hour passed. The
poor bride waited all the afternoon In
the station and was then driven back to
the house. 1t was II o'clock at night
before his assistants could tear Edison
away from his laboratory and get him
home
When he is at work Edison loses all
count of time. He will keep the whole
establishment on a rush for hours at a
stretch, and seems astonished when any
one hints that it might be well to get
something to eat. He is capable of work
ing all day and night without showing
fatigue.-Chicago Journal.

Two Skeletons.

While extending and repairing the old
buildings of the late Royal Naval school
at New Cross, S. E., which is shortly to
be opened by the Goldsmiths' company
as their Technical and Recreative insti-
tute, it became necessary to remove the
floor of the old gymnasium. In doing so
the workmen discovered the skeleton of
a cat in close juxtaposition to that of
rat. The bodies of the animals were not
quite two inches apart in sort of a
wedged shaped cul de sac, which was
wider at the top than the bottom, and
so preventing the cat from quite reach
ing the rat. When found, the entrance
to the hole or passage was filled up with
dust and rubbish, and there was nothing
to prevent egress of the animals by the
way they had entered except the disin-
chnation of the cat to leave its prey.
The skeletons when found were more
than half covered with dust from the
floor above them, and have probably
been many years in the position they
were found, in which position MI. Red
mayne, secretary of the Goldsmiths' in
stitute, has had them carefully mounted
and photographed. A curious coinci-
dence is that exactly the same discovery
of the skeletons of a cat and rat together
under a floor occurred while pulling
down some old buildings to construct
the Peoples palace, which is the imme-
diate predecessor of the Goldsmiths' in
stitute.-Pall Mall Budget.

Jinrilsshas for Chicago.

There were taken out of the Chicago
custom house a few days ago a lot of
queer looking packing cases, bearing
upon their exterior some peculiar hero
glyphics that We're undecipherable to
Uncle Sans clerks. The boxes were
claimed by Isaac Woolf, the west side
merchant. to whom.they We're consigned
from Japan. They contained the parts
of two OF those japanese vehicles known
as jinrikshas, which are to be used in
the west side parks for the amusement
of the little folks. Mr.. and hrs Woolf
while travelling in Japan became SO i'm
pressed with this kind of vehicle that
they decided to bring two of them to
Chicago and two japanese runners to
draw them.-Philadelph Ledger.

How Hair Is n1anched.

1t will be observed that, if the papilla
is obstructed OF incrusted with deposits
from the sweat glsnds, such as sodium
chloride or organic salts, the sebaceous
secretion not being able to reach the pa
pilla the hair is deprived of its coloring
material. This we believe to be one of
the most common causes of blanching
of the hair. The skin eliminates small
quantity of salts, a little carbonic acid
average amount of solids, according to
Foster, in the fluid perspiration or
sweat, is about 1.S1 per cent, consisting
of common salt and organic salts gener-
ally.-Hyland c. Kirk in New York

A Manor Tor q soun.

well pleased at one of his little dinners
with a savory soup compounded by his
cook, Tezelin, that he sent for him and

This manor, may add, reverted to

as his deputy to make dish called

AT James IFS coronation the lord of
the manor claimed to find man to
make a dish of grout in the royal kitch-
en-, and prayed that the kings cook might
be the man. The claim was allowed,
and the claimant knighted. But what
was this grout? Was it identical with
Tezelin's dillagrout and the Bardolf's NAL

An eminent authority writes this sub
ject: "The manipulation of poor teas, tn give

sively. Green teas, being in this country
especially popular, are produced to meet the
demand by coloring cheacer black kinds by
glazing or facing with Prussian blue tumeric,
gypsum, and indigo. This method is so gen
eral that very little genuine nncolored green tea
is offered for SALE

the Marine Barracks.
VALLEJO, March 12.-The racket at the
Marine Barracks nearly all day sounded like
the din of war. Drums were beating,
trumpetS sounding and, high above all, was
the rattle of musketry. The smoke of bat
tie could be seen from this side of the river
and the noise was heard along the water
front without difficulty. Itseems that Major
Nicholson, tho Inspector of the Marine
Corps, was executing his duties. which re-

art OF war.
a II the marines available on the ships, as
well as at the barracks, were assembled for
review and inspection in full dress. W hich
was followed by a battalion drill in cam
palgn uniform, and that In turn by mock
fight between two companies of skirm-
ishers, commanded by Captain Cochrane
and Lieutenant Dayen. Two companies of
similar strength were handled by Captain
Muse of the Charleston ard Lieutenant Per-
kins. The latter commander got his line
formed first and, opening fire, advanced.
Captain Cochrane also advanced a short dis
lance, and then caused his men to lie down
and fire from the ground slowly.
The opposing force continued firing ra pid-
ly, and when it was thought their ammuni-
ton was nearly exhausted Lieutenant

to turn the flank Of the enemy. The main
body then rose and made q rush forward
until they joined the flaukng party, whe n
all closed in upon the Muse companies and
surrounded them, effecting their capture
with only two rounds of ammunition left.
This mimic warfare made great fun for
all engaged and did much to relieve the
fatigue of being three hours under arms.
Major Nicholson was much impressed by
the superior stature and fine bearing of the
men ON this station. also by their great in

The plan OF ma king the oranges exhibited
into fanciful designs has been borrowed
IL ON the citrus fairs OF the upper counties.
Until the fair here last season no attempt
was made at display, the argument being
that the fruit was shown for its merit only.
But pile of oranges, high class though
they may be, Is very ordinary sight here.
