The phonograph is known to ev- erybody, and is now so common that people have ceased to think of it as one of the most wonderful productions of the last twenty-five or thirty years. Its use for pur- poses of entertainment is still common, but as a business utility it is coming more and more into use A short time ago, we heard of its use as a business record-3 keeper. It was in a business place where the exact words of the speakers were recorded by an instrument so placed that it was not seen nor suspected. When the conversation began, an operator in an adjoining room set the ma- chine in motion, and every sound uttered was transmitted to the record and preserved for future reference if necessity demanded. In business offices, too, letters may be dictated into the records and subsequently reproduced in writ- ing at the convenience of the typewriter. It is not only a nov- elty, but is fast becoming a busi- ness necessity. Who can fail to admire the genius of such men as Thomas A. Edison, whose life and energies have been spent for the welfare of the World. comes the division of the spoils. Russia.

That the mother of the President elect of the United States was once a resident of the county of Leeds and Grenville, Ontario, and lived in the county town of Brockville, is not known to everybody, but it is a fact, nevertheless. WOODROW WILSON’S MOTHER. ___. I We are late, but nevertheless se- ; Vere, in extending hearty congrat-; ulations to Mr. and Mrs. Will: Firth, who joined heart and hand on Thursday, October 3lst. Mrs. Wilson’s father was the Rev. Dr. Thomas Woodrow, a Scotch Presbyterian, who crossed the Tweed and spent sixteen years as a pastor in Carlisle, England. Feeling a strong call to do misâ€" sionary work in Canada, he left the old land in 1836, with his large family of eight children. and crossed the Atlantic, arriving in New York just in time to part with histhelpful helpmeet. Immediately after the funeral of his wife, Mr. Woodrow and his motherless children pushed on to Brockville, which he made his headquarters while he enggged in a vi oroua visitation of 'thé sur- roun ng district as a home mis- snonary. Among the children was a girl named Janet, more generally known as “Jessie,” who was about twelve years of age at the time, and who played and studied in the old town by the northern bank of the St. Lawrence. After a little more than a year’s service in Canada, Mr. Woodrow received £1" CHE-“t;'C_11â€"iâ€"liicothe, Ohio, and recrossed the American boxjdq‘. _ While attending a young ladies’ academy near the Ohio home about eight years later Jessie Woodrow first met her future husband, a young Presbyterian minister, Joseph Ruggles Wilson, and two years afterward they were married. Same men are always sure they are right, and then go ahead and do the wrong thing. There seem to be more ways of reaching a man’s heart than of reaching his pocket. It’s hardly a fair exchange when the other fellow gets your money and you get his sympathy.
