daughter of Lewis Miller. the million
aire inventor and leading light in the
Chautauqua movement. Edison met her
in Boston, where she was studying music,
some time in 1885. He fell desperately
in love, and within six months they were
engaged to be married. The wedding
took place in February, 1886. Mrs. Edi-
son is tall and stately and has brown
eyes and warm, dark hair and clear
olive complexion. She is perfectly pro-
portioned and very graceful and alto
gether a charming woman.
The Edison home, Glenmont, is in
Llewellyn Park, asuburb of Orange, and
one of the prettiest places in the Orange
mountains, being situated on the eastern
slope of Eagle Rock, whence can be OBJ
tanned one of the most beautiful and ex-
tensive views to be had in the neighbor-
hood of New York. The observatory at
Coney Island, 20 miles away, can be dis
cerned from there on clear day, and
charming glimpses of the intervening
country. Glenmont itself is luxurious
and beautiful. Its furnishings and dec
orations are in the best of taste, and Edi-
son has a comfortable, big library, in
which a bookworm might dream away
his existence in contented peace and idle
ness.
Edison has no time for that kind Of
dreaming, however. His province is
rather to make dreams practicable, and
to that end he spends most of his timein
his laboratory and workshops group
Of red brick buildings about five min
utes' walk from the house. They say
that Mrs. Edison has often to go down
to the laboratory to remind her husband
that it is mealtime, for he gets so alb
sorbed in his experiments that he quite
forgets the necessity of eating.

Bronze Powder Making.

Nearly hundred establishments are
engaged in the manufacture of bronze
powder in and near the cities of Furth and
Nuremberg, Germany. tits composed of
copper, tin, zinc and antimony melted
in proper proportions and cast first into
rods of half an inch in diameter and
about three feet long, these rods being
rolled until about two inches wide and
then cut into suitable lengths for ham
ding. The pieces go to the hammers,
where they are beaten into very small
fraction of their former thickness, and
are then taken to a sulphuric acid bath,
where each sheet is washed to remove
all impurities, rust and dirt.
After being thoroughly dried the
sheets are again hammered by steam
hammers until no further reduction is
possible, there being a limit to which
machinery can be used. Up to this
stage the treatment which the metal re-
ceives, whether intended for powder or
metal leaf, is identical, but now the
process changes. If designed for metal
leaf, the further beating is done by hand,
but if for bronze powder the sheets go
to the shears. where they are cut up into
small particles and become known as
clippings. These are now ready for the
stamp mills, which are run in batteries
enabling one man to run or attend so OF
more. When sufficiently pulverized, the
powder is sifted in a special manner, the
heavier and better qualities going to one
receptacle and the inferior grades to an
other.-New York Sun.

"wHY IS HE so IRRIrABLE2r

This question is often heard and nearly
2 often unanswered
1t is not always remembered, as it
should be, that the occasion of ill-temper
and irritability is often to be fOurd in
the physical condition of the persons af-
fected. What is the use of rying to
"harmonize" a man whose liver has gone
back on him? II man is tortured with
rheumatism, how can he be expected to
be affable and agreeable? Can CON
firmed dyspeptic be expected To be
cheerful and always ready to tell funny
story? The only way to remove the diff
ficulty is to get at the cause. Dyspepsia
rheumatism, impure blood and liver
troubles yield to Hoods Sarsaparilla;
this is why it is an effective tranquilizer,
peaceful messenger, and a preventive
of quarrels.

Corduroy promises to be a great ia
vorite, both for hangings and for the
coverings of divans and chairs. In some
Of its newest forms it is strikingly hand

upon a ground of the same color, and in

british India.

Great Britain has been stretching her
wings over India. In 1912 she laid Gain
to 626, 900 squares miles of that coun-
try. She made additions to this every
year except 1S43, 1916 and 1852, down to
1866, when her possessions aggregated
$4,000 square miles. Advances were
made in 1865, 1882 and 1885, and now
the area of India under British rule is
927,8S7 square miles. British India is
larger than all that part of the United
States lying east of the Mississippi river
and its population five times as great as
the present population Of this whole
country. Great Britain may not be able
to acquire much more of India. Indeed
there is likely to be difficulty in retain
ing what she has with native dissatisfac-
ton and the watchfulness of her aggra-
waiting enemy on the north, who in the
last 40 years has moved his boundaries
over many degrees of latitude.-Tex

Hurry to Get There.


"Ifear we will never get down town at
this slow gait" said restless, pale
faced woman as she handed her fare to
a Third avenue surface conductor the
other night.
For a time the conductor was silent.
Then, turning, he whispered:
do you see the glitter in her eyes?"
Eyes, very plainly"
SIN another hour she will be
crazy"
AS the car rolled down the Bowery
the woman looked through the window,
and the light fell full in her face. Her
eyes cleaned red and bright. Then the
conductor leaned in at the door and
said:
at isn't far now-only few blocks
more"
"You fool" she replied, chow dare
you drive so slowly! Had known this
1 should have come another way" and
half rising from her seat she glared
through the door.
The conductor smiled sadly. IF ever
there was hopeless case," he muttered,
"hers is one"
"Have you known her longT" was
asked.
Eyes, year or more. She often comes
down on my late run. At first she was
quiet enough, but now she grows worse
and worse"
"What caused her insanity"
"Insanity?" and he turned as though
in establishment. why, she is not in
sane. She hits the pipe. Wait till we
get to the Chinese district and you will
see."
His words were true. She left the car
at Mott street.-New York Herald,
