EDIsON's DEBT TO HIS WIFE.
Their Life Refutes the Saying That
Genius Shouldn't Marry.
From the New York Press.

FROM lHc new I ofk Press.
Thomas A. Edison has been married
twice. To his two wives he owes consider
cradle of his success as the greatest liv-
ing inventor and the greatest inventor that
ever lived. They looked after his health
and physical welfare, enabling him to re-
tain that vigor without which he could
not stand the strain of day after day in
his laboratory without a wink Of sleep.
twenty-five years ago Edison's friends
urged him to marry, hoping that domestic
life would compel him to eat at least one
meal day and sleep with some regard to
regularity. Edison said he had no time
20 court, but IL some decent girl wanted
to marry him he had no objections one
day, while watching young woman who
was working one Of the Instruments and
to whom he had never before spoken.
he asked her, somewhat anxiousIy, if she
would be his wife She said yes and in
three days they We're married, though he
came near forgetting the hour for the
ceremony, being busy on complex ma
chine.
Walter P. Phillips has been quoted as
telling this story Of Edison: One night
a friend of the inventor found him in his
Newark laboratory, and went in, saying:
Aren't you going home. Tom it's late?|
How late?" said Edison. yawnlng
about 1 o'clock" returned his friend.
Us that so?" exclaimed Edison. by
George, 1 must go home. 1 was married
this morning"
By this first marriage Edison had three
children-Thomas, William and Marion.
The last two were nick-named by their
father Dot and Dash, and Dot has chung
to Marion even in her days of early wo-
manhood. She is well educated and has
spent some time in Europe.
The second Mrs. Edison was Miss Nina
Miller, daughter of Lewis Miller Of Akron.
o. Lewis Miller, besides being the
founder and early financial hacker of the
Chautauqua Assembly, is q rich manufac-
turer and an inventor of some note. To
his daughter Edison was married in Feb
ruary, 1886. They have had two children,
Madeline and Charles. When Edison
spends whole days at a time in his labo-
ratory Mrs. Edison goes to him, sleeping
on cot near his workbench. She Is a
good pianist and is well read. She is young
and fine looking, has dark eyes and hair,
and is Of a ViVacious disposition.

Editor Morning News: For the infor-
nation of your many readers, l give my
way for the cultivation of the two-crop
acre peas. Lay off rows six feet apart
with a straight shovel pillow. Land that
was not cultivated last year. or where oats
have been harvested. is the best. that is,
if you want large yield of peas Drop three
or four peas three feet apart in the row,
cover with scooter pillow. When the peas
are up bar off with turn pillow, then take
a small sweep or gopher pillow and side
them up. Plow out middles with a turn
pillow, and then go over them with a hoe
and cut out all weeds and large punches
of grass. and you will gather all the peas
you want. They are not only a prolific
pea, but make quantities of vine and are
very tine for table use. s. p. Brice,
Lake CITY. Fla. June 25

This appears to be the belief of the
Japanese, and there seems to be good
evidence for it. A traveller in that far
off country says:
THE Japanese have made race Of
giant men-a race of wrestlers. These
wrestlers often weigh 200, 300 and 400
pounds At the Imperial hotel, in Toxic,
they brought their champion wrestler to
my room. He was prodigious in size and
as fat and fair as a baby. He was
Hercules in strength, but looked like
an overgrown cherub of Corregio."
What do you eat?" I asked.
"Rice-nothing but rice"
why not eat meat?'
Meat is weakening. Beef is 20 per
cent water. Rice is 80 per cent food
ate lean beefsteak once, and my strength
left me. The other man ate rice and
threw me down"
Sullivan of Japan. No one can throw
him.
That rice, which every chemist knows
to he mostly composed of starch, should
possess such elements of force appears
almost incredible. If we had been told
that these wrestlers lived on wheat,
or corn, or barley, we should be quite
ready to accept it. Yet the strong por-
ters of South America are said to live
much on rice.
But if meat is so essential in the gem
Grafton of strength as is popularity sup
posed how shall we account for the ex-
traordinary physical endurance and
longevity of the rhinoceros, the hippo
potamus, the elephant and the horse?
So writes the chronological Journal and
from our own knowledge of the subject
regard the statement as true, rice comes
as near being "a bread that man can live
by alone" At any rate, very little mea
will be necessary to the rice eater. And
then how easy for every farmer in this
section to grow it abundantly. Sow an
acre, more or less, next year without
fail.

C. A S. writes us that he is trying
something new in growing a late crop of
pole beans. He says: 'I have several
rows of corn in my garden, and during
the past week finished using the green
corn. I had the fodder pulled and after
a nice little shower, planted three to five
bean seeds near each cornstalk, expecting
the beans to climb them for a support As
the corn will not further absorb either
food elements or moisture, why should
not the stalks be a proper support for the
vines? ANY how, 1 will write you later
whether it proves a success"
DO So We shall be glad to hear
Whether the stalks will rapidly dry up
and become too frail to render proper sup
port you can only determine later on. OF
course in field culture the pea vines take
to the stalks and are readily supported,
but this occurs usually while the stalks
are green and strong and not easily
broken.
In our own garden a very interesting
sight is afforded to visitors by a crop of
DWarf-Champion tomatoes growing, some
one in hill, two in hill and then three
plants in hill Such a proportion Of fruit
to vine can be observed in no other va
riety. This kind does not rlpen its fruit
so early as the 'Matchless." Golden
Queen, Yellow Pear or the Fordhook It
Is at least week behind these but when
the Champion does begin to ripen the yield
is prodigious. This variety is so dwarf
and stocky it can be grown in the home
garden, where the plow is not used for
cultivating in rows two feet apart and
plants eighteen or twenty inches in the
row. With rows two feet apart, of course
a plow can be used. With, say, i, 600
plants growing on an acre, it would be a
very easy matter to grow from first to
last 500 bushels Of the pretty tomatoes
For slicing raw there is no kind superior
TO the Golden QueeL." but II is not so
productive as many otnsr kinds.

A scarecrow for Mosquitoes.
From the Newark can.

John Habberton states with solemnity
of firm conviction that mosquitoes are ex-
tremely frightened by dragon flies, and
suspended from fine silk under the roof
of an open porch infested by mosquitoes

they will not come back while the dragon
flies are there. This, he says, he has
tried with surprising results 1t Is a well
known fact that dragon flies are preda-
tory and voracious insects, and that they
subsist large upon gnats. midges, and
mosquitoes ana it is but natural that the
mosquito, who is a wise insect should

Tomatoes in Corn.

c. P. writes US: MY tomatoes this
year are freer from boil worms than
any time in the past ten years, and
attribute it to the fact that the vines
are set among corn that came into roast
ing ear condition just as the tomato
began setting fruit freely. The corn,
the Blount variety, was planted March
q, and the tomatoes were set out to
10 days later. Only few tomatoes have
been attacked by the worm, though there
is one to two on every ear of corn. There
is less blight, too, than 1 have observed

"If the earth is not relieved by a heavy thunder storm. an earth quake of greater or less violence may be expected within the next Go hours, said the Rev. Ir1 R. Hicks last Wednesday afternoon. Since the famous forecaster who predicted the St. Louis cyclone made these prognostications, 4S hours have expired, and yet the earth has not been relieved by heavy thunder storms. Therefore, if Bro. Hicks predictions come true, we can expect to wake up tonight or in the morning in the midst of an earthquake.

May Pour In From Abroad.
 NEW YORK, July 31.-A representa- tive of the Associated Press was in- formed yesterday by a prominent mem- Der of the syndicate of foreign bankers, formed to control the exchange market, that signatures would be attached ts lhe contract at once. h addition to ex- change houses a number of outside bus hess interests will be added, including several influential corporations. One member Of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Go. said the reports, purportlng to give the details of the exchange deal opera sions, were entirely inaccurate and mis- leading. Mir. Morgan personally said, in reply to the report from London sug- gesting that the advance premium on gold at New York to l per cent would start the imports of gold eagles from London, that the imports of gold from Europe were not needed here at this time and that the inflow of foreign gold. would greatly complicate the existing
 
 difficulties.
 It transpires that the machinery for controlling the exchange market during the next 90 days includes 8 syndicate which guarantees foreign exchange bankers against any. loss in their ep- -erations. This syndicate will take [ all of the profit which may accrue For their part the exchange bankers agree to forego any profit in the time specified, the guarantee syndicate in- .cludes large number of capitalists, corporations and financial institutions.
 The deposits of gold at the subtreas- ury by the bankers of New York and other cities in exchange for legal tenders with view to the maintenance of the treasury gold reserve are made under supplementary arrangement.

 And this reminds us: During the boom days ofFort Smith, in 1888, Governor Hughes, Col Fishback, the editor of the Dem ocrat and other members of the board of trustees of the State uni versity, were at Fayetteville and in the course of a general conver- sation the wonderful growth and progress of the city of Fort Smith were mentioned. Col, Fishback, in glowing periods, described the marvellous progress made by that city-the fabulous growth in pop -ulation, the unparalleled rise in real estate, etc. He showed how lands near the city hitherto worth less sprang from a few dollars an acre to $500 and SI, ,ooo-how town property that a year or two before could not be sold for $Ioo per front foot ran up to 5000, and much more ofthes same kind. He paused at the close of one of his eloquent periods as if to watch the effect upon his auditors, when Governor Hughes spoke. Fish back. said he, if this thing goes on you will soon be selling real estate in Fort Smith by the pound.
 Yes, said Col. Fishbaek, and you may rest assured that it will be at a big price.
 Now is it possible that Gov ernor Fishback has forgotton fthose glorious days2 They certainly should form an exception "a green and howery oasis in the desert waste of time from 1873 to ISo6,9
