house which he was buying from n
West Allis real estate company He had
intended TO make a payment on the house
but the scarchers have failed to discover
that he ever went there with the money.
He was seen with a suspicious looking
character and the theory is now held
that Wulschlager is insane and is wan

city. There is also the possibility that
he may be dead as the result of cX-
posture.
No Family Troubles.
His family relations were of salts
factory character. it is said. and there
is not the slightest hint that the man de-
struycd himself wllfuly. The police
department is still at work, several de-

fields and country roads, afraid to come
home to face his family without the mon

The Two Handles.

There are innumerable cups on the
table OF lie. Some are gllded and beau
tiful. Some contain bitter mixtures.
Others are sweet TO the taste. Every
man must take such of the cups as are
gwen him. What happens? The most
beautiful cup often becomes bitter. The
most bitter cup often grows sweet. See
how this is
You can take the morning by the handle
of frown and the whole day will irown
on you. Take the StormieSt day with a
smile and il will grow pleasant.
Take your work by the handle OF reluc-
tance and it will grow intolerabe you,

the handle of willingness and il becomes
easy Try il
Take your pleasure by the handle OF
self-indulgence and the pleasure IS spoil
ed take it by the handle OF generosity,
share il, and it will last.
Take wealth by one handle and il loads
you with cares take il by the other handle
and see what will happen.
Take your business as means OF get
ting living and il becomes vulgar druid
gerry take il as means Of social service
and il will be noble religion.
Taken marriage by the handle OF your
self-will and il turns out failure take ii

Handle men with diStrust and you will

Take yourself by the handle OF egotsm

Take pain by handle OF fear and you
will always have something TO suffer.
Take pain by the handle Of courage and

Take sorrow with self-pity and you

Take the world by the handle OF doubt

Temnerament and Disease

In a former article some facts were stat
ed concerning the different temperaments
or types OF vital action into which man
kind is divided. These are usually reck-
oned as five, although the classification
is not very definitely fixed. Each type
is distinguished by prediSpoSition to
certain maladies and by a special mode
Of reaction to the poiSin OF the infectious
diseases. Those Of the Emphatic or
phlegmatic temperament are sluggish and
disinclned to exercise, their muscles are
soft and flabby, and there is general alb
sence of tone in the system. The dis
eases from which they suffer are usually
those marked by debility, and they have
often to be keyed up with tonicS even
when not really i'll.
Those OF the nervous type are OF small
frame. active in mind and body, light eat
ers and light sleepers. Theirtendency is
to diseases ofthe nervous system. They
tire easily after spurt OF work or play,
but above all things should resist the tem-
tation TO resort TO "pick-me-upS," " which
have fatally good results for the time
being. these people need sleep-but
must not resort to drugs 10 get il and
restful vacations.
The Jolly people Of the sanguine tenn
peranent. with their ford compilations,
their hearty appetites and good digestions,
enjoy life as if comes. The diseases
10 which they are most liable are gout
and premature hardening OF the arteries,
with its consequent heart and kidney
troubles and apopleXy. The regimen
best adapted 10 ward off these maladies
is a restricted diet, especially as regards
flesh food, avoidance of alcoholic bever-
ages, and the drinking Of plenty Of pure
water to wash away waste materials.
Persons Of the bilious temperature are
prone to diseases Of the liver, gall-stones
intestinal indigestion and constipation.
They are large consumers OF food, but
derive little enjoyment from eating. They
are often much benefited by course OF
dieting and consumption Of mineral wa
tiers. after the plan developed 10 high
degree by the German watering-place
physicians.
The stumous type is less distinctly a
temperament than an actual tendency to
disease. There is little reparative power
here; wounds heal sluggishly, the glands
in different parts of the body often swell
and sometimes break down, the appetite
is small and digestion poor. Persons OF
this type do not bear confinement well,
and are prone to become consunphve
unless they live much in the open air.

Edison's Greatest Invention.

Two years ago said that was work
ing on plan by which hoped to cast
house out OF cement as a afoundryman casts
a car-wheel out of iron. now feel safe
in saying that have solved the problem.
All my preliminary experiments have
proved successful, and in December or
January expect 10 cast my first house.
If | succeed, as feel certain that | shall,
the cement house will be my greatest in
vention. II will solve the problem OF
OF housing. 1t will take from the city
sluns everybody who is worth taking.
Why, shall make it possible to build
house with good cellar, seven large or
ten ordinary size rooms, and bath. for
twelve hundred dollars. Come out and
see my moulds."
As Thomas A. Edison said this, he put
a cap on his head and led the way 10 his
machine shop.
What l., has accomplished is described
in the December number Of Munsey's
Magazine.
In an open space, surrounded by plan
ers and lathes, were what appeared to be
the foundation walls and part OF the first
story OF an iron house. A peep over the
top showed that there were two iron
houses, one set within the other, with
an eight-inch space between. Into this
space the cement is TO be poured; then
the two iron houses will be taken down,
and the finished structure of artificial
stone is ready for occupancy.
"Pll dig cellar to this house with
steam shovel" Mr.. Edison continued,
land cast it in six hours. Two locomo-
tive cranes will lift the two hundred and
thirty-two cubic yards of cement that the
house will contain, and pour il into the
openings at the top. The cement will
pass though twelve sleice-boXeS, and as
it is being poured, a number OF men will
churn il with iron bars, at the end OF each
will be a large ball. The churning will
be FOR the purpose OF sending waves
through the cement, 50 that it will fill ev-
ery particle OF the mOulds.
And it is a wonderful house that the
famous wizard OF fScience intends to build.
There will not be enough wood to make
hundred dollar fire. even il were all to
be consumed. Floor, mantelS. picture
holdings and decorationS-alI will be OF
cement. The bath-tIb, waShStands, and
sinks will be cast OF the same material.
Edison says he can make cement bath
tubs that will be as smooth as highly pol
ished glass. All that is required to do is
to have highly-polished moldS. Where
ever beauty is desired, an extra finish
will be put on the casting forms.
No street of Edison cement houses will
be dull thoroughfare OF uniform color
and design. One house will be built on
one plan; the next on another. One
house will be gray, another red or light
green. while the third may be yellow.
Everybody can choose his own color
Tintng the cement before il is poured is
easy.
He goes to explain how he intends to
market his great invention, the saving in
fire insurance, the great economies pos
sible-in short, his plans, as outlined in
this article, are world-reaching in their
importance.

She fled and a citizens posse pursued

was printed in the newspapers. Her

Somewhere they rise. serene and dim,

The castles we have built in Spain
While fair amid the summer DRIFT
Our faded gardens flower again.
Sweet hours we did not live go by
To soothing note. on scented wing;
In golden-ettered volumes lie
The songs we tried in vain TO sing.
They all are there the days OF dream
That build the inner lives OF men

Nor pause nor heed till behold
