Edison Averaged About
10 Hours a. Dav MI Work

Edison always had hundred
things he was burning to try. II he
was away from his work, he made
a long list of things to be done,
next day. Putting salt on the tail
of an idea" was his happiness and
when some experiment turned out
successfully, he would dance about,
to his assistants amazement.
On one OF his birthdays, a visitor
expressed the wish that Edison
would live many more years. TAX
ing the usual little pencil stub from
his vest pocket he made q careful
calculation and then said, "How
would it be to live about las years?
I've just figured that I'm working
double shift, so compared with the
average Single shift man, if live
to be eighty I'd really be one hun
dred forty-five years old. J"
Edison's energyWas vital and ire
mendous. He worked about is hours
q day. And he was a night owl by
choice. But when he was tagged
he could "hit the hay" and sleep
like a baby. Short maps after ex-
haustion brought him back 10 task
completely refreshed.
He once said: Most men do their
work in series Of efforts that re-
quire a lot more time than contin-
uous application; when have a
problem, there is no let-up until |
get somewhere on 1t. II / am up
half the night when | do 20 TO bed
1t Is usually in contentment, while
your routine man may worry about
q matter fur a. week before he ar
rives anywhere on a problem.

Verdi's Failure

When Giuseppe Verdi, at the age
OF sixteen, took his entrance exam
nations at the conservatory Of Mi
Ian he showed SO little evidence of
musical talent that the authorities
declined to enroll him. This is re-
lated in the Standard American En-
cyclopedia. This did not bother
Verdi, however, and he continued
his studies, ultimately rising to the
heights with his III @Trovatore, ;"
"Rigoletto, La Traviata," and
LA Forza del Destino."

The Feet ALWAYS Busy

The feet do more work relative to
their size than any other part OF the
body. 1t is hard to visualize the
fact that when a man walks mile
he places an aggregate of $50 tons
on his feet. Three out of every four
adults in this country have some
sort of foot trouble. The blame for
this condition is largely due to in
correct footwear, but the jar Incl
dent to walking on hard pavements
and floors is a contributing cause.

With many sad hearts longing
For the better things of life.

And twelve months passed SC

For more than time is needed
The task is far too great
For one short year to fashion
A world devoid of hate.

Police Find Bird
 In Hand Trough Bird" To Handle

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush", says the old proverb.
 %, yeah" saws Sergt. Barney Burns of the police department, speaking with great feeling.
 At g o'clock this morning a mys- terious bird made it's appearance on West Main street, and while onlookers watched in fascination, dashed itself unconcious against store window. Sergt. Burns, who is noted for his fishing exploits and who is a friend of wild life, took the bird to headquarters.
 There he started to show the bird to fellow-policemen. The bird, recovered by this time, showed it had no liking for policemen and grabbed Barney's finger. His ra- zor-like beak made real gash, and the sergeant had to have medical treatment.
 Whereupon the bird was placed in a cardboard box, and police speculated on its name and busi- ness. The bird has long legs, and a long, thin beak, and boasts a wing-spread of about two feet.
 Heron" said some; hawk, said others; and "crane", said still more.
 Sergt. Burns was called on for his guess. Rubbing his finger ten derly, T don't know what it is", he said, but wish it was a dodo."

 Hartford, Aug. 9.-The state has purchased its coal supply for the fis- cal year and, Saturday, Connecticut institutions were provided 52,7S6 tons of bituminous, enough to last them until June 30, 1899, according to estimate. The price of the coal thus far contracted for is $3O5,- 8O8.90.
 As Supervisor of Purchasers Ed ward c. Geisler announced 8 sub- stantial savings over last year, | breakdown of the contracts awarded showed the largest had gone to H. N. Hartwell & Sons, Inc, of Boston who are to deliver II 200 tons to the Norwich State hospital siding at Norwich for a consideration of $62,- 384. Altogether 26 different contracts were awarded to Ii fuel companies, two from Hartford and all in Con- necticut save the Boston concern. Smallest contract was awarded to the Wyatt Coal Sales company of New Haven which will deliver 150 tons to the New Haven Teachers college for $847.50.
 While comparative figures were not yet returned from the tabula- tors, Supervisor Geissler explained that considerable saving had been effected over last year by letting the contracts all at one time instead of individually by institution. When bids were opened at the capitol on July 27 more than 70 quotations were offered by many companies scattered over the state. Announce ment was made Friday of the award of more than 10000 tons of an- | thracite

Sneezing Season Comes On :. And, Per Usual, ittle's Done To De-Kerchoo Gentle Zephys

By NEA Service
 Hay-Feverishly counting the days until August IS, official" opening of the hay-fever season, millions of victims are turning streaming eyes toward their city fathers and say- ing sternly, between sneezes, What are you going to do about the weeds?"
 Unfortunately, in many cities weeds are still in the class with weather, about which everybody talks, nobody does anything. E The American Public Works As- sociation queried 83 cities. Of these 37 replied that their street-clean- ing departments, being least busy at this time of year, were charged with weed removal. The remain ing 46 reported that the job was up to the health department, or other city agency, or nobody.
 The cost of removing the sneeze- makers is in most cities met from general funds. Only a few levy a special assessment for cutingt weeds. Some serve notice on own- CTS of unimproved lots that they'd better cut their weeds. A few even do something about it if the pro- perty-owner fails to come through.
 The hay-fever vote has never been well enough organized to move the administration to action in most cities, and the Public Works Asso- ciation finds great unevenness in the effectiveness with which the job is done. Too often the job is SO loosely assigned to health, street, or public works departments it be- comes "nobody's job," the associa- tion reports.
 As August 15 hears, the cry rises from every corner of the country that something ought to be- aa- a-a-a-a choO!-dOne about itI"
