Te,errnph,nr with a Steam whistle.

While Edison, then a hoy, was living
in Port Huron, he found one of those
opportunities to distinguish himself
that seem to be always falling in the
way of some men. The anecdote is re-
lated in 1.-The Life and Inventions of
Edison" recently published. 1t was
near the end OF an exceptionally severe
winter, and the ice had formed in such
masses as to sever the cable between
Port Huron and the Canadian city of
Sarnia. The river, mile and half
wide, was impossible, and multitudes
of people were greatly Inconvenience.
Edison, who had just learned to tel
egraph, saw way out of the difficulty.
Jumping upon n railway engine, he be-
gan to whistle in the rhythmic cadences
of the Morse alphabet: "Hullo, Sarnia!
Sarnia, do you get what l say?" No an
swer Again and again the short and
the long toots shaped themselves into
the dots and dashes of telegraphy, and
finally some one on the other side be-
came alive to their meaning. The an
swer came back, clear and CHEEKY, and
communication between the two cities
was resumed.

DEATH IN THE AIR.

A changeable climate is the most exciting cause of pneumonia. The mild to-day, cold tomorrow, weather is a prolific breeder of the disease. It is contracted by exposure to wet and indictment weather, from stand ing or sitting with cold feet; by going from hot and over crowded rooms into the keen night air, and by sitting in draughts.
 The proper way to treat pneumonia is to prevent it's development.
 Have care that you are sufficiently clad to meet indictment and changeable weather. See that the wet feet and exposure to draughts do not result in cold. If a cold is contracted check it at once before pneu- monia is developed; for it is q well known fact that protracted cough may suddenly develop into pneumona, with slight addi- tional cold. Don't let the disease make any headway. Fortify the system against it by rich, nutritious, liquid food. This can be accomplished in no other way so well as by the liberal use of Ozomulsion, an ozonized preparation of Cod Liver Oil with Guaiacol, prepared by T. A. Slocum Co.,, New York, and sold by all Druggists. Taken early, when the first symptoms of the cold appear, it cures it promptly and prevents the development of pneumonia. It is a rich, liquid food, and 1t is we'll known fact that strong food is the most formidable foe of pneumonia. It keeps the blood well nourished and puts the tissues in such @ condition that they throw of the cold and thus resist the disease

AGAINsr THE Npw WonLAN,
Bishop Coxe Hikes Her No Better Than Does Bishop Doane.
 


 From the Post Express.l
 At the commencement exercises of the Livingston Park seminary, held in St. Lukes church last evening. Bishop Coxe addressed the girl graduates as l follows
 'The effort to establish the new wo- man has, 1t must be said, been occom- panied by a desire on the part of the l agitators to emancipate themselves from religion. When I read from day to day of the utterances of this new cult, giving forth startling truths and disseminating odious principles from the lecture platform, I am inclined to cry. O. shame, where is thy blush?' am in favor of the higher education of women, for I believe that such educa- l ton embellishes most f1tly the state which Providence designed for her &C., tivity. It 'pleases me to see the intel lectual taste and patience in acquiring knowledge possessed by your sex. There are cases where women can accomplish great good in life of pub licity, but they are exceptional cases. But no stigma should be cast upon those who purify and embellish home life. Every true woman makes her own life where Providence places her. Such Is the opinion of the truly good of all ages. 1t is not by noisy decla- nation that the state of woman is to be l changed.
 'Of late it seems to be the trend of fashion among women to appear as much like men as possible. Such is ] neither in keeping with her past his- tory nor in accordance with true ideals of grace and beauty.
 "It is the true and established sphere of women to influence man and guide him to look to higher ideals and more worthy desires. He Is not a man who has not, at some period of his existence, had the fostering care of a devoted mother or the subtle influence of be- loved sister. Past experiences illus trate this fact. When the great west was being settled men rushed there, leaving all restraining influences be- hind them, and plunged into the abyss of vice and sin. But when women sweet, matronly women, came, all was SAidhSeU. isSHSlOli oUtdllleu d 1OOluOlu and vice sank into the dark caves whence it had come.
 Such Is the influence that woman exerts in the world. And, young la dies, it is fitting that such should be your aim in life. May you. therefore, go out into life, aided and guided by the knowledge which, through the un tiring labors of the teachers of the sem mary, you have acquired, ever remem- bering that it is your duty to bring great happiness and higher religion in- to whatever sphere you may choose for your life's work"
