' - .- -" ': ' ' ' Now I want to tell you how you can cheer and brighten yoox home In nimnlv wonderful way. . Read what Thomas A. Edison , the world's greatest Inventor "the wizard Of the 20th Century" has 1: . "I want to see a phonograph in every America home." If yon have never had a genuine phonograph In your home yon can Bet Imagine what a wonderful pleas ure it will be to you. "What pieces can I hear on a phono graph?" some may ask. Well, you can hear almost anything. There are 1500 genuine Edison gold moulded records and you can have your choice of these. ' Suppose you get some vaudeville records reproducing to absolute per fection the greatest comic artists. Then take some -band music. Sonsa's -Marches, Wftlteea" by Sjtrauss, soul stirring lively music; then grand opera concert pieces as well as the finest vocal solos; also comic songs, ragtime, dialogs, comic recitations, piano, organ, violin, banjo and a Instrumental music; all kinds of sacred" music, duets, quartettes, full choruses. The Edison records are perfect absolutely natural and unlike the In ferior though higher priced records of others the Edison records never be come rasping and scratchy. The smooth, round sapphire point of the Bdison Reproducer does not require changing - it does not wear it self or the record with which it comes In contact Consequently, Bdison Gold Moulded Records last for years. This is a feature that merits the .ost care ful attention of the prospective pur chaser. Possibly you have heard "talking machines" and have not cared much for them, but remember that there are machines that reproduce only sound and noise; the sweetness, and the perfect expression for which you prize music are reproduced only by the modern Edison Phonograph and Um Edison Gold Moulded Records. These qanlities distinguish the -Edison Phono graph from all its imitations. Pa Far Vsor Pkafcsl Sonn and bud piece ana dame muaieto flll the air. carrjlnV tha sound orm meadow and lake.

Co Naked and have Peculiar Customs. -v London town Is very, much Interest ed in six small haman beings who have recently arrived, from Africa. Colonel Harrison, an officer in the British Armr. has brought with him from, the Itarl forests of the Belinra Congos a half doaen pyermes. Colonel Harrtsca - went last year into the Itnri forest, also known as Stanley forest, hoping to capture one or more okapis. This part of nis ex pedition was a failure. On the other hand, he succeeded in Bring foar months -amid the pygmies and per suaded fwr men and two women of the - tribe : to accompany him to Europe, v''7:;s3'''';;.-v.W,,V5;.!' The long Journey has been accomp lished by the six dwarfs in the face of a thousand difficulties. Colonel Harrison and his proteges were de tained at Khartoum and later at Cairo for several . weeks, certain English philanthropic societies having earnest ly opposed their expatriation. The ex plorer was obliged to prove to the BrlUsh Government that the dwarfs were with him voluntarily. . torn Six pygmies were of coarse duly measured by the English anthropolo gists on their arrival in London. Their mean height was 4 feet I inches for men and 4 feet 1 inch for women. The Congo Pygmies are very strong and also brave withodt being gener ally aggressive,' although Colonel Har rison-reports that last winter, during his stay in the forest of Ituri, a party of pygmies attacked a Belgian, cara van, killing seventeen carriers ' and plundering the goods. They are no mads, having neither fields nor houses, and live only on game and wild fruits. Their household utensils are limited to a few earthen saucepans, in which they cook game without taking the trouble to skin it' They eat the skin as well as the meat, even breaking the bones Wth their teeth. A , --Are Sons of Nature. They walk about completely un clothed. Only among the tribes that live on the confines of the forest and have relations with the negroes of greater stature, do the women wear a girdle of leaves. - . . ' s Both the men and women shave the head partially; some cut straight paths across their wooly hair; others dress It with birds' feathers or squirrel tails. - . - - . .They have absolutely no religious In stincts and believe in neither God nor devil. - Tbey generally practice polyg amy. "As with: the Chinese, the birth of a girl is regarded as a calamity. Strangely enough, the young mothers sometimes .steal the new-born children of the neighboring tribes of normal stature, leaving their own babes in exchange. a . Last of a Great Race. .:' - "The ' Pygmies do not live to a areat age." said oL Harrison. "Life is hard in the somber Congo forests; nature is a pitiless task-master to this remnant of the race that once peopled the rreater Dart of Africa. The rain that falls in torrents for eight months transforms the ground into a marsh. It mar be added that the pygmies are remarkably intelligent, that they appear to have the gift of language to an incredible decree, that they excel in the art of extracting iron from the ore, of forging it, and of making arrow heads of it without other toots wan round stones. : ; - Electricity to be Cheaper.
