Discovery Of the Photograph.

I discovered the principle by the
merest accident, states Mr.. Edison.
I was singing to the mouthpiece of a
telephone when the vibrations of the
voice sent the fine steel point into my
finger. That set me to thinking. II
I could record the actions of the point
and send the point over the same sur
face afterwards, I saw no reason why
the thing would not talk. I tried the
experiment first on a telegraph paper,
and found that the point made an
alphabet. I shouted the words
"Hallo halo !" into the mouthpiece,
ran the paper back over the steel point,
and heard a faint "Hallo | hallol' in
return. I determined to make a ma
chine that would work accurately, and
gave my assistants instructions, tell
ing them what had discovered. They
laughed at me. That's the whole
story. The photograph is the result
of the pricking of a finger. michigan

A Marvellous Instrument.

Mrs. Mabel LOOMS Todd, while in
Japan, became readily accustomed
as, indeed, any good housekeeper
would-to putting off her shoes before
entering a palace or a temple where
the exquisitely fine mating or smooth,
lacquered floor might be injured by
contact with anything so coarse and
heavy as the sole of a shoe, in which
possibly, too, there might be a loos-
ened nail to tear or scratch. But
once, while travelling in portion of
Japan beyond the route of tourists,
where she was the first foreign woman
the Inhabitants had seen, she had an
odd experience.
She had just visited, in company
with a Japanese gentleman who un-
derstood English, a temple of which
the floor was of the most delicate and
beautiful gold-leaf lacquer, and had
Of course discarded her European foot
gear while doing so.
On coming out she sat down on the
top step of the temple stairs and pro-
ceeded to resume her boots, when she
found herself at once surrounded by a
large, curious, but perfectly respectful
crowd, who chartered eagerly to each
other, g~esticulating, explaining, look
ing at her, and then back to each
other with further rapid conversation,
which she did not understand.
At length she asked her companion,
who himself appeared interested, what
it was all about, and why the people
were so excited.
1T is the marvellous way in which
you fasten your buttons so quickly
with that curious steel instrument
he explained and he suggested that
she should allow it to circulate among
the crowd and be examined. Having
her boots completely buttoned by that
time, she g%raciously consented, and
had the satisfaction of looking on
while the grateful Japanese-very po-
lite and greatly wondering-passed
from hand to hand, with CALCULATIONS
of surprise and delight, that conven-
lent implement of civilizations boot

Man rs. Wildcat.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, May 23.-
Sportsman's Park, the great resort Of
the Cuban population Of Ybor City
and Tampa. was the scene of a fight to
the finish this afternoon between a
l5-pound wildcat and a Jamaica ne
gro, known only as Sam. The negro
was promised 5000 If he succeeded in
killing the wildcat inside of 30 min
utcs with his bare hands, and no kick
ing. Sam took the money.
At least 500 people witnessed the
battle, which was bloody from begin
ming to end. The cat had been starved
for several days and had also been
teased and tortured until it was in a
frenzy.
The negro stepped into the Enclosure
wearing brown canvas overalls and a
jumper. The cat was let out Of the
cage inside the ring, and, running to
one side, stopped and began looking
at the negro, who was advancing to-
! ward it. The cat was furious with
rage, and when Sam was within 10
feet of it, leaped directly for his
throat. The negro was expecting this
and jumped quickly to n side but
struck the cat with his fist as it went
past him.
In a second the cat came back with
a rush, and this time fastened its
claws in Sans thigh, tearing the can
vas trousers and bringing the blood.
Sam caught the cat by the throat, but
he let go with a howl of agony as a
strip of flesh was torn from his arm by
the claws of the hind foot of the cat.
With a spring quick as lightning,
the cat was on the mans shoulder,
clawing his face and chewing his right
ear. Then the negro got angry, and
tried to tear the enraged cat from his
shoulder and neck. In the struggle
Sam fell and the cat leaped from him.
The crowd cheered, and urged Sam to
60 on with the fight.
He was half blinded by blood, but
he made another dash for the cat, and,
after a slight chase, was STOPPING to
pick up the animal when the wildcat
leaped directly on his head and began
clawing and biting.
Sam struggled in vain to pull the
wild cat from his wool, and at last
lowered his head and made for the
fence to crush the cat by butting.
This did not work, and the cat crawled
down his back, tearing his canvas
jumper and bringing the blood with
every scratch. Sam caught the cat by
the throat and fell to the ground. The
cats claws were at work, and Sans
arms, breast and thighs were badly
scratched and clawed, but still Sam
held on. He succeeded finally in get
ting one knee on the cats head and,
in spite Of the struggles Of the victim,
held him down until life vas extinct.
Sam staggered to his feet, but just
as the crowd gave a great cheer he
fell to the ground in a faint from loss
Of blood and the terrific strain to
which he had been subjected. He
was given the 5000. but says he never
wants to fight o wildcat again.

Americas Vice, Swearing.

The Rev. F. NJ. Goodchild, pastor
of the Central Baptist Church,preached
the fourth of his series Of sermons on
popular frivolities and vices last night.
Swearing was the vice denounced last
night.
His text was from Matthew v, "a:
"But I say unto you swear not at
ALL" "There is no vice. said he,
"more prevalent than that of profane
swearing. 1t is especially marked in
this country. Americans are said to
be the p%rofanest people in the world.
An American travelling in Russia
once, who was not heard to swear, was
mistaken for a minister.
"The men swear, the women swear,
and children with, the lisp hardly out
of their speech swear. / suppose the
name of Christ is not spoken SO often
in prayer as in blasphemy.
IT have g word or two to say about
judicial oaths here. Some Of our
brethren believe that such oaths are
included in Christ's prohibition. It
may at least be said that such oaths
are administered far too often and far
too lightly. Enough lies are told in
any custom house to sink the place.
What strange verdicts juries render !
Yet they are under oath. What sin
gular charges Judges sometimes make,
although thew are under oath How
hurriedly vicious railroad enterprises
are put through boards Of aldermen
anG Legislatures, and yet all of our
legislators are under oath! Why, it is
very common, this kind Of swearing.
"The oath has lost its:meaning, and
might better be entirely dispensed
with. I thank God [ live in a land
where my affirmation is accepted as
the equivalent Of an oath.
"God in the Ten Commandments
forbade only taking His name in vain.
But Christ condemns all oaths, whether
by the heavens above or the earth be-
meath. That includes all common
oaths, such as MY heavens Great
Scott. and the like, to say nothing of
the towards oaths, such as darn it,
| when one means damn it., and gosh
when one means God
Swearing is the most useless Of
sins. Lying, stealing and adultry
bring some temporary advantage OF
pleasure, but swearing gives nothing.
It is a vulgar sin. Lord Chesterfield
said that a gentleman never swears.'

Just o Common Liar.

cold B." says some years ago in q
Carolina town a crazy man was brought
before an examining board to settle
the question as to whether or not he
should be sent to the asylum in Co
lumbia. After the doctor got through
with his examination, n Of the COM
mittee, an old farmer, said:
my friend, did you ever borrow any
bags or jugs?"
Eyes, lots of them"
"Did you aver borrow your neigh
boris newspaper
eyes, many time"
"Well, now, what became Of the
jugs, bags and neWspapers?'
"Why, I carried them all back"
The old farmer gave a blow almost
as loud as "Nancy Harris" whistle,
and said:

simply a common liar, and all the asy-
lums in the world won't cure him Of
