EcconCiIing.

A man going shopping with his
wife is usually a most wOe-begone-
looking object; his face always bears
upon IL the marks OF despair. But
that to some men a shop crowded
with shoppers is boon there Is evil
dcnce in the following little story,
which is quoted from foreign peri
odical. AS the story runs, a gentle
man who had promised TO meet his
wife in a large establishment where
all sorts OF things are sold at low
prices was making his way through
the throng of women. Forced to
pause a moment near counter be-
hind which stood a pretty saleswoman,
he blurted out:
"ls there anything on earth that
would reconcile man to such a
crowd rs this?"
Yes, sir" was the quick reply.

An Incident i'm EdisoD's Early Life.

In telegraphy, operators are taught;
receivers must be born. Equipped by
nature and training. Edison gave up
the newsboy life, in which he had
earned in four years So, 900 the
greater part OF which he gave to his
parents
Now began his migratory career as
a telegraph operation Many ups and
downs were his. often he was cold,
hungry, and sheltcrless, for the in
satiablc impulse TO experiment TO the
neglect OF his duties, kept HIM con
tinually out OF work. One day he re-
veled in the praises his ingenuity
evoked; the next, he was dubbed
"Luny" and turned adrift.
Perhaps his most ingenious boy
hood feat was performed during an
an ice Jam that broke the cable be-
tween Port Huron in Michigan and
Sarnia in Canada. The river at this
poirt is a mile and a half wide. The
ice made the river impossible, and
there was no way OF repairing the
cable.
Edison impulsively jumped on To-
comotive and seized the valve con-
trolling the whistle. He had an idea
that the blasts OF the whistle might
be broken into long and short sounds,
corresponding TO the dots and dashes
OF telegraphy. In moment the
whistle SO; nded over the river: loot,
tOOt, toot, toot-toot, toooot-
toooooot-tooooOot- tOot-toot,
tOot.
"Hallo-o Sarna! Do YOU get me?"
"Do you hear what l say?"
No answer.
"Do you hear what / say Sarnia?"
A third, fourth, and fifth time the
message went across, TO receive no
resp nse. Finally, the operator on
the other side understood. Answer
ing "toots" came cheerfully back, and
the connection was established. ST.

here have received new set of questions
which they are required to answer for the
congregational committee. which has Just
entered upon what Ia stated 10 he two
years invest iaation of the workings OF the
executive departments In Washington,
The inquiries proponnded have struck
tho majority Of the clerical force with
ccnsternation. The intricacies OF con.
sanguinity and affinity they are required to
unrayel are quite beyond the powers OF
many OF them. The first two questions
propounded on those topics are compara-
lively easy. Each government employe 10
required to declare whether he has son OF
daughter. brother or sister. an uncle or
aunt, cousin, Dewhew or niece, or
grandfather or grandmother in the serv-
ice of the Washington departments.
After he or she has successfully over
come those preliminary difficulties, il ia
then made necessary for ench to declare
whether there is in the government service
nny great grandfather or great. grand.
mother. or Rreat-grandson or great grand
daughter. and then follows a bewildering
list OF greas-uncle's sons and great-uncle's
0reat-uncIe's granddaughter, and cousins
OF every degree. After this some ques-
tions as TO the degree of affinity, and
these are the most perplexing OF all.
After tho gentle female clerk has de-
clared upon honor that she has no grand
son-in-law. no Rranddsughter-i in law, no
grnnd-nephew or grand -in-law in any
OF the government departments she or her
fellow clerk of the opposite sex is each fe-
CURED to make declaration that there IL not
now, to the best of her or his knowledge or
belief, any person in any branch OF the
government service bearing toward herself
or himself the following relations:
Great grandfather in-law. great grand.
mother IN law. great grandson in law,
