Edison's First Check.

Thomas Edison, the Wizard, tells this
story of his first bank check, back in
the seventies: 81 had just sold my pat
ent on the gold and stock indicator to
the Western Union Telegraph, company
for $40, 900 and had come over to New
York to get my money. I went into the
company's general offices to close up the
sale of my patent. I was Immediately
recognized by clerk, who ushered me
into the presence of the president, who
after few preliminaries handed me
check for $40, 00O Well, started out
after carefully folding up the check and
went toward Wall street. So uncertain
was I that I thought on the way that if
any man should come up to me and
offer me two crisp thousand dollar bills
for the piece of paper should give him
up the check Willingly. When got to
the bank, the teller wouldn't honor the
check for me. AS quick as my legs
would carry me I rushed back to the
Western Union Office, and they sent one
of their clerks to identify me- Ireceived
$4,000 in large bills. Idivided the roll
into two wads of $4,000 each and
stuffed one into each trousers pocket,
and after bidding the cashier and the
telegraph clerk good day made break
to get out of Wall street as quickly as
could. The next day began work on
my first laboratory at Newark

The Eye of a Child,

drous instinct of the child? Lying in thy=

Where, its large, round, wondering eyes
roam over sea of faces till suddenly
its features break into sweet smile, a
baby laugh dances in it's eyes, perhaps
the tiny hands are extended, and the lit
tie body gives bound as though it
would throw itself through space What
has happened? 1t has recognized a
friend, nothing more and no less. If
makes no mistake. Wiser, perchance,
in that moment of inexperienced
helplessness than it will be years
afterward, when the world and its in
mates have been studied in the ,ight
of instruction and experience, it's love
Offering is seldom if ever mistakenly
presented. By what power is this child
love directed? By what subtle influence
does it see and know what in after.

The Bedouin's House.

The Bedouin's house is round and
surrounded by round wall in which
the f1ocks are penned at night. 1t is fat
rooted and covered with soil, and inside
it is as destitute of interest as it is pos
sible to conceive-a few mats on which
the family sleep, a few jars in which
they store their butter, and skin churn
in which they make the same. In one
house into which I penetrated bundle
was hanging from the ceiling, which
found to be baby by the exposure of
one of it's little feet
Everything is poor and pastoral. He
has hardly any clothes to cover himself
with. nothing to keep him warm when
the weather is damp save his home
spun sheet, and he has not soul above
his focks. The closest intimacy exists
between the Bedouin and his goats and
his COWS. The animals understand and
obey certain calls with absolute ac-
curacy. and you generally see Socotran
shepherdess walking before her flock,
and not after it, and they stroke and
caress their little COWS until they are as
tame as dogs. .-Nineteenth Century.

Laughter and Insanity.

''It is a very curious fact" said a
celebrated asylum doctor recently,
"that, taken as general rule, all luna
tics laugh about twice as much as sane
people. 81. s.2;s5asssss7se :ges7s,se
'One of my worst patients at the
present moment exhibited the first signs
of insanity by laughing continuously
and without stopping for over week.
"It was just after severe illness,
which had been accompanied by much
mental depression, and his friends were
SO delighted with the apparent improve
ment in his spirits that they had no
idea of the real state of affairs until a
doctor was called in and pronounced
the man. completely mad. Laughter
after surgical operation is symptom
always greatly dreaded by doctors and
nurses
"That queer impulse to laugh which
some people experience in the first mo-
ment of sudden calamity is in reality
one Of the sharpest warnings of insan-
lty that any one could receive.
"some people fall into habit of
laughing at their own thoughts when
alone. This should be always strictly
checked, as it is an unhealthy sign and
may lead to brain trouble later on. -

vICToRlA's REGAL RIGHT.
why the Niece of William Nv Was Called
to the Throne.

Why the Niece of William " Was Called
to the Throne.
Several newspapers, in explaining to
their readers how Queen Victoria came
to succeed William Nv, say it was be-
cause she was his L ce. That is the
truth, but only half tie truth, for Will
lam " had nephews and other nieces.
George HIS first, second, third and
fourth sons were respectively the Prince
Of Wales. afterward George ~, who
died childless i'll 1880; Frederick, duke
of York, who died in 1897, also with
out children; William, duke of Clar-
ence, who died William ", June 20,
1887, without lawful issue, and Ed
ward, duke of Kent and Strathearn
and earl Of Dublin, who died Jan. 23,
1920, aged SO, leaving as the sole issue
of his marriage with Princess Victoria
of Leiningen baby daughter, now
Queen Victoria. The queen succeeded
William Nv not because she was simply
his niece, but because she was the only
child of the brother next to him in the
order of succession.
Had Queen Victoria had q brother
she would in all probability not have
been parsonage of historical celebrity,
save in the contingency Of succeeding
him. Her rights were those that de-
volved Oh her from her father. At the
time she succeeded to the throne her
uncles-the Dukes Of Cumberland, of
Sussex and Cam mbridge-were living,
younger brothers of her father and jun
ior to him in the line of succession in
the order named. The Duke of Cumber-
land, who became king of Hanover on
the death of William Nv, was man of
such despotic temper and principles
that all England cherished the Prin-
cess Victoria as standing between it
and his succession to the throne. He
had lawful issue, as had the Duke of
Cambridge,
The Duke of Sussex, a most estimable
man, married twice, but these unions
being repugnant to the provisions of the
royal marriage act, his children were
barred from the line of succession.
From the revolution of 1858 rose the
Jacobite party, made up of those who
supported the cause of James il, his
sons and descendants. The picturesque
modern Jacobites do not recognize
Queen Victoria, despite the fact that
her succession is due to her Stuart
blood, for she is direct descendant of
Elizabeth, daughter of James I, to
whose heirs the title to the throne de-
volved by the act of settlement on the
death of Anne. Boston Transcript.
