BABY AT THE PHONOGRAPH.

nfl-ljirtlVf- tr> » trate Hi* Invuntfon. Edison hast recorded on hjs phonograph the indignanU wail of hts iial.y. At the laboratory one day the invent s-complained that the baby disturbed him so that he oould not work at home. - “v/hy don't you put her at the phoi,ograph?’’ inquired Mr. -XVaiigemann, hia. assistant, mischievously. Mr. Edisor. made no reply, but the next I time his heir apparent did cry he was ready for her. In fact, ho grew very impatient because she behaved remarkably well and didn’t cry wdbin his hearing for a week. At last hts tim came. The infant got her toes tangled up in her stocking and uttered a plaintive wail. The father seized her, thrust her nose into the funnel, and set the, motor in motion. Alas! the flying bright brass governor am used, her, and she st< ipped crying and commenced to laugh. Mr. Ed isonvr.-s disjrui-ted. He shook her violently and. rcremned .into herears, but she only chuckled and cooed. He was in despair. Happy thought! He would pinch her. He did pinch her, aud she expressed her dis- ' pleasure with vociferous howls. The racket waked up the nurse in the next room, and sho flewin at the door in terror. “ What have you been doing now?” she indignantly demanded. “That baby wouldn’t cry for my phono-5 graph and I just pinched her so she ■ would.” “I never was so abused in my life,” said , Mr. Edison afterward. “But I’ve got that baby's how’s right here on this wax cylinder.’’ Copies were sent to London, and they have since been traveling over Europe, but Mrs. Edison does not know it. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria, When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria, When she had Children, she gave them Castoria
