 MT. Edison's home life is spent at Llewellyn Park, where his pretty villa stands within five minutes walk of his laboratory. Like most men of his class, he is reticent concerning this part of his existence. He has been married, and how impregnated is his whole being with the spirit of his re- searches was apparent when he called his children-a girl and a boy-"Dot" and Dash" Of course, his home shows the evidence of his profession, though he tries to exclude it as much as possible as being too much in the line of the 'shop." His library even finds it's home outside his house. It is located in the Orange laboratory, and it is very complete. You may enter the laboratory by way of the library, which is equipped in the most lux urious manner. From the handsome clock above the fireplace to the marble statue representing the Genius of Light everything bespeaks refinement and taste. The figure is by an Italian artist. It Is cupid, with wings open, astride a broken gas lamp and holding aloft brilliant incandescent lamp. There are forty thousand volumes of reference in the room. Here also is the splendid Tiffany collection of min erals and gems which MT. Edison bought in Paris Around the room are hung interesting portraits, drawings, etc.
 But MT. Edison has very little time to devote to the blandishments of home life. Until within recent years his home has been like the English sailors .-"wherever he shied his castor"- hence we get better view of him in the mountains than in Orange, where he visits but once a week. At his mine he is surrounded by people of his kind, from the scientific standpoint, and while he may be away from the world in person, the world is with him in spirit. This was evidenced a short time ago when-he received slight in- jury through falling off porch. Let ters of sympathy and inquiry poured in on the little post office from all parts of the world.

MOVING IN ROME.
A Job That Is Hard on Those Who Take
 :Active Part in It. rsrs 2


 :Active Part in It. vs~
 How easy it is to write itl and how easy, all things considered, it was to do it! At half-past four in the morning five great burly men, dressed in blue linen,l arrived and took possession of the premises. With skill that made it a pleasure to watch them they packed lall the glass, china, pictures. and breakables in huge straw baskets. As a. terrace is to me the first necessi- ty of life in Rome, our apartment was at the very top of the mighty old Palazzo. Santa Croce. I never have thought much about the stairs, as the palace has the modern convenience of lift, a tiny little car worked by water, which only the. family and the visitors of the tenants may use. Serv- ants, tradesmen, and my big blue giants must climb painfully up and down the interminable staircase on foot. The chief ambition of Roman cabinetmakers is to construct all fur niture so as to bring the greatest pos sible weight into any given compass. s
 The commonest pieces of household luTulUurc dr0 SO HcdVy budb lU occucu to me as watched the patient movers that the tables, chairs and chests of drawers must have an internal lining of pig iron. All day long they worked, disappearing at noon to dine on bread, salad and red wine, and returning an hour later to finish the weary task. The biggest giant was called Mieo. He. was tall, broad-shouldered fellow, with bright, blue, childish eyes, taf- gle of rough brown hair and a voice as deep and musical as a church bell. shall not soon forget him nor his exam pie of cheerful patience as he toiled from morning until night, obeying the orders of the shrill-voiced youth who superintended the removal of our goods and chattels. Once or twice since as have gone to work rather re- luctantly-it is hard even to hold pen in midsummer-I remember Mico's hot, tired face as he bade me farewell, the gracious salutation he. maAe as he lifted the goblet of wine to his lips and drank to my health and happiness in this new abode, and because of the ex- ample of that honest, cheerful laborer my own work goes more easily.-Bos- ton Herald. -.. v

 There is no class of Americans for whom have more sympathy than the honest, industrious, toiling girls of our land. Multitudes of them as stenog- raphers, telegraphers, sbooldxeepersf clerks, are toiling for living, honest noble efforts, sweet girls they are, and yet at every step they face thefact that the business world is uhiust to them. Their salaries don't measure. up with the mems salaries, though they do the same work, and yeti dare say that an E employer who will let a sweet girl labor for him for less salary than he pays man to do the same. on the other side of the house issas infamous in character as he is unjust towards his employees. s,fs ..s,s < ~ -,

city that if they run in the race and cap- ture five of the districts of Alabama that when the election comes into the house of representatives Alabama, instead of being a democratic state, will be republican state, and may be able to elect a republican president of the United States; they are very active about that; they are very des- perate, but do not think they are making much headway.
 As stated. am here at the invitation of your executive committee for the purpose of explaining to you my views and my opinions and my record as United States senator on these great leading questions at times aud places this committee has arranged. A letter seems to have bee1 re- ceived from the chairman of the populist committee asking for a division of time with me-, Nov, why? Ii he is democrat have got no quarrel7with him; don't get up in public and debate party questions with democrats; but if he is republican and will.4@ come.s outsasand say so, that is we'll enough, saud I will debate with. him whenever it is con- venient. But understand these gentle men very well. They think there is a chance thata republican or populist may be elected president of the United States, and that if he is elected and they can show that in debate with so humble a person as am that they flashed their maiden swords or put scars upon me, that it would putthem upon the political pension roll the next administration and they would } get something valuable out of it. Long and enth husiastic applause
 F We'll, l will inform them that, while 1 am perfectly willing to do anything for them personally that can, l am not that sort of decoy. duck. u Laughter.l No, am before the people of Alabama, and so far as my ability will allow me l will try to serve them in all sincerity and honesty. l shall go along among my fellow citizens giving them the reasons for the faith that is in me, and will never stop to enquire whether MT. Parsons or Mir. Anybodyelse who is a republican would like to find fault with me on the stump. Let him take the whole democratic party as his target, let him fire his batteries into them, but let him not distress himself by fighting as humb man as l, but fight something nearer his size. Laughter and applause. Certain it is that the democrats of Jeffer- son county are united and powerful host and are determined to carry the election in November. [Long continued and en- thusiastic applause.1 So tEat MT. Foun- tain and MT. Parsons and Mr. Bill Stevens will have enough to do in fighting that lively organization.

CATARRHAL DYSPEPSIA.
1 DISCOURAGED INVALID RESTORED TO
 HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.

A
 Catarrh or the stomach causes a condi- ton known as dyspepsia or indigestion. 1t usually results from catarrh in the throat, but sometimes occurs in people who have never had catarrh elsewhere. The symptoms of dyspepsia are: liver com- plaint, biIiousness, sour stomach, water brash, bloating after eating. constipation, piles and, in many cases low spirits, dizzy head, sympathetic heart palpitation, pain, indigestion, and loossness of the bowels. Peru na and Mana. lin, taken according to directions on the bottle, will cure every one. The following is specimen of the letters received from patients:
 o. s. McQuillan, Spring Hill, Ia., writes: s'Four years ago last fall my stomach, without any previous warning, refused to perform its functions, and 1 soon lost strength. During this time food was forced through my stomach by us- ing cathartics. With flesh wasted away, strength exhausted SO that 1t took all my energy to even get into path tub, hopes alE gone, began to take Pe-ru-na and Man a-lin, following free advice which Dr. Hartman gave me. In short time could eat nourishing food, and the plies, kidney trouble and constipation disap- peared. Flesh, strength and splendid appetite returned, and I went to work.''
