Her name she. gave me on a delicate card Ella Thorpe. Of course I reciprocated and presented her both my name and address In the city after a six-hour ride, helped her to a street car, and at Niag ara street regretfully left her to walk to my office, promising to call on her the next day if time would possibly al low. ; "Hello, Sam,' t shouted my friend, Dotective Uangspine, next morning as ha came across the street to walk down town with me.

I did not tell him that I had lost three $10 bills that were folded to gether in my left vest pocket, ad which I supposed, I had pulled out ac cidentally with my watch on the day that I rode from Binghampton to Buf falo with the coy damsel.

The influence of the -moon upoa vege tation is an interesting problem awaiting solution. A recent writer upon the sub ject mentions that woodcutters in Cap Colony and in India insist that timbei is full of sap and unfit to cut at full moon.

It is not altogether certain, if a buck had come into ' the range of his gun, which had been death to thou sands, but it might have intuitively obeyed its old employe's inind and dis charged itself.

Busily engaged ia innumerable things, Mr. Edison carried ia his mind for a long time the idea of the phono graph, turning it over and over, and from time to time jotting down sketches aad memoranda concerning its construc tion. At length he said to an old Ger man machinist, who " made models for him, that he wanted a machine con structed in a certain manner, but for the use of it he gave no Mat. Now 5 aad then, as the work went on without see ing the model, Mr. Edison ordered cer tain changes, which, of course, were duly; made. Finally the German was told to bring the machine for examination. Mr. Edi son fitted into it the sheet of tinfoil, and turning the crank spoke into the funnel the somewhat familiar voice about Mary and her lUtle lamb.
