Where Mans Influence Is Fatnl.

Man is the only animal which is Ill. ways accompanied by disease except those creatures that are his companions and share his patronage. There is req son to believe that tie denizens of the forests, the velti, the rivers and l,a ocean, so far as they escape mans ,,.. huence. live, with hardly an exceptlc..., healthy lives. Chronic ailments begi,, with mans protection in the dairy, stable and kennel. Man has created artificial conditions with which the thousand ills that flesh is heir to" are associated It is now his supreme task to bring these conditions into harmony with the laws of his being. Sickness and debility are not to be regarded as natural and inevitable parts of ol;i heritage. but as the fruits of rebellion against natures laws. and therefore to be got rid of If the human family dwelt in ventilated houses, biaathpd pure air lived teHiAerateiy, with ltfle or no alcohol. and took daily exereise in the open, it would perhaps know little more Of gout, rheumatism. carl= cer, feyer. lumbamo dyspepsia. asth- ma aud the host Of Infectious troubles than do the lower au.lnals.-Iomlon Telegraph.

Il FauIt-A Mistake.

A fault is an error of judgment;
q mistake is an error Of perceptions
When we determine wrongly, we
commit fault; when we perceive
wrongly, we make a mistake. A
mistake is less grave than fault.
Children are apt to make mistakes;
men often commit faults. A child
that would copy a p for q would
make mistake; i. g., he would
take one for the other. To allow
children to do as they please is a
great fault. The writer was once
asked whether the Greeks were
called HeIlenes because they were
descended from Helen, the wife of
Menelaus: that was mistake, the
questioner mistook Heller for
HELEN.

To Ayttculate-To Pronounce.

To A,hculate-7o Pronounce.
To ay7iculate is to utter distinctly
every syllable of which word is
composed. To pronounce is to
utter a word in that accent and
tone which is assigned to it by
custom. Articulation has to do
with the distinctness of the syllable;
pronunciation, with propriety OF
the vocslizing. A child who says
possible for possible, articulates in
distinctly; q child who says 1assa-
bic for possible, pronounces
improperly. Careless readers and
speakers articulate badly; for
eigners and countrymen pronounce
improperly

Pude-Vanlty.

The proud man is self-satlsfed-
wrapped up in his own estimation
careless of the opinions OF 9TH
ers. The vasu man has little or
no merit, and is greedy of praise
at the same time that he is con-
scious of not deserving it. Those
who have more merit than others
cannot help being conscious of it;
but pride does not signify the con-
seriousness of our own superiority;
it is the feeling which, in over-rat-
ing our own merit, causes us
to under-rate that of others.
Pride is disagreeable and odious;
vanity is ridiculous and contempt
ible. The qualities honest and
honorable, when applied to pride,
deprive it of it's odium, and makes
it feeling which no one needs be
ashamed to own. He who has
raised himself in society by his
own unaided exertion will naturally
feel an honest and proper pride in
his success.

An Obs4yvauce-An Dissertation.
These words are both derived
from the Latin odseyvars, to keep,
and are used as follows: An od-
servance, is the keeping of a rule
or law by the performance of the
outward ceremonies which it en-
joins. An observation is the keep
ing of fact in the mind, for the
convenience Of adverting to it at
some future time. The intention
of an observance is the fulfillment
of a religious or moral duty; the
intention Of an observation is to
increase our own information, or
that of others. We speak of as
Economical observations, and of
the observance of the laws.

Thomas A. Edison. Not long age
q gentleman challenged me tc
mention one thing Mr.. Edison ever
invented. This led me to believe
that he has the wrong conception
of the word invent. If I had used
the word discover it would not
have been so surprising. Dis
covery or creation and invention
are two very different things
Discovery is concerned with prin-
ciple; invention with details.
Discovery or creation gives to the
world something absolutely new;
invention produces an ingenious
variation Of something the world
already has. Discovery introduces
some law or reveals some principle;
invention takes out patent on an
improved mouse trap.
Mr.. Edison is an inventor of the
highest type. He has taken out
over seven hundred patents. rang
ing over most of the applied arts.
The majority of them relate to
electricity and many are on special
machines used only in his factory.
He also holds many patents on
chemical processes. One of his
first inventions, the Duplex tele-
graph system" is used the world
over, as is also his three wire cleo
trio lighting system. The incan-
descent electric light was perfected
by him and he spent many years
experimenting on hundreds of
different substances until he found
material that could be used as a
filament for the light. Mr.. Edison
also perfected the graphophone.
He experimental four years before
he found composition upon which
vibrations could be recorded.
His latest patent was issued on a
new storage. battery, and 1t can be
classed as a discovery. It has
been thought heretofore that lead
was the only element that could
be- used for such batteries, but Mr.
Edison has produced new battery
in which cobalt is the new ele-
ment. The features are a third
more power with one half the
weight of the lead battery.
Many distinguished persons are
overrated these days, but I don't
believe Mr.. Edison could be over
rated and he is entitled to more
credit than he gets. 81. j. F.
