Cocaine is new anesthetic, and as yet

learn thoroughly what peculiarities Of con-

dangerous, as they have learned concerning
ohloroform, ether and like drugs. They
have demonstrated that in the vast ma

How Edison Showed Ills Phonograph.

Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, was
telling curious experience the other
night which he and the late Senator
Beck had about ten years ago at the
Capitol at Washington. They were
talking together outside of one of the
committee rooms of the Senate when a
stout-looking man, with round boyish
head covered with iron gray hair, came
up to them and, begging their pardon,
told them that he had curious little in
strument under his arm which he would
like to show them. Upon this he pro-
duced 4 bundle and, the Senators con-
senting, the three men went into the
committee room. When the wrapper
vas taken oil the machine looked like
miniature corn shelter, and the nun
asked Senator Beck to talk into it and
to say anything he pleased. Beck
thereupon, in stontorian tones. recited
one of Robert Bnrns's short dialect
poems.
The boyish-looking man turned the
handle and Beck's voice was ground out
in the same tones that he had used. The
Senators were astonished. Neither had
ever heard or thought of the possibility
of the phonograph and Senator Beck
accused the man of being a ventriloquist.
He wanted to try it again and insisted
that the man should go off into a distant
corner of the room as he did so.

Mr.. Edison, for he was the man. q!

Seven Years Without a Birthday

A Scottish Clergyman who died nearly
thirty years ago, Mr.. Leshman, OF Kin.
ross, used to tell that he had once lived
seven years without birthday. The
statement puzzled most who heard it.
They could sec that if he had been bora
on the 29th of February he would have
no birthday except in leap year. But
leap year comes once in four years, and
this accounts for gap of three years
only; their first thought would, there
fore, naturally be that the old man, who.
in fact, was fond of n harmless jest, was
somehow jesting about the seven. There
was, however, no joke or trick in bis
assertion.
A. the present time there can be very
few, If there are any, who have this tale
to tell Of themselves, for one who can
tell 1t must have been born on the Goth
day of February at least ninety-six years
ago. But similar line of missing dates
is now soon to return; and indeed there
are, no doubt, some readers who will
have only one birthday to celebrate for
nearly twelve years to come.
The solution OF the puzzle is to be
found in the fact, which does not
appear to be widely known, that the year
1900 was not leap year, and 1900 will
not be. The February of the present
year had twenty-nine days, but in all the
seven years intervening between 1896
and 1904, as well as in the three between
1892 and 1896, that month will have
only twenty-eight. -Tid-B

The Atlanta Constitution remarks: siIn

hope. Many of our cities were in ashes.
~orr plantations were wrecked, and our
railways were worn out. To-day we
have land of peace and plenty, 43, 600
miles OF railway, and our average per
centage of increase of per capita wealth
for the decade ending in 1890 was 100
per cent. more than that of New Epp
land or the Central West. We are draw
ing capital and we are making capital.
Zen years ago we had 800 National
banks; nov we have 500. The pcr
centagc Of the increase of our foreign
exports is about five times the combined
gain Mt the other ports of the country.
A fow days ago we showed by reliable

with smaller liabilities, in the South

that in development and production our
progress had been phenomenal, and that

now TO COOK AsrAnAous.

For boiling asparagus, the vessel
should be deep enough to hold the bunch
standing upright. It need not be filled
to the top with water, for the reason
that when closely covered, the steam will
cook the tender tips in highly satlsfac-
tory way. If the asparagus is fresh end
fine, fifteen minutes is long enough 70
boil it. When done it should be lifted
carefully, the strings removed, and the
vegetable sent to table with nicely drawn
butter served in boat
Apropos of asparagus, it is sometimes
painful to witness tho efforts of some
people to eat this toothsome vegetable,
Those who attempt the use of knife and
fork are doomed to gastronomic disap-
pointment. 1t refuses to be dallied with
except with the fingers. Each stalk
should be lifted daintily, its head dipped
in the sauce, and conveyed to the
mouth with all the grace that til, cir
cumstances of the case will allow. Not
withstanding all this, however, the man
who can eat macarroni and asparagus
elegantly, is the exception rather than
the rule. 1t is an art that must be.
studied, but the accomplishment is Welt
worth the trouble of learning.
The succulent lettuce leaf has also to,
submit to many indignities in unskilled
hands. 1t amounts to positive sin to
cut lettuce. You might as we'll slash
away ut violcts or rose leaves. The del
icate leaf in its pale green asthetic
beauty should be taken up with half
caress, broken daintily and eaten from
the fingers. To profane it with touch
of knife and fork is barbarism. New
