The Busiest Man on Earth.

Mr Thomas A. Edison is,, a man of phenomenal industry. He is never willing to leave his laboratory. The only way Mra Edison ever manages to get him to go to his home, when he is engaged on a problem is to come after him. He has a military bed in a room specially set apart for his own use, and here he stays sometimes for days at a tune. He hardly stops even to eat, and his meals' are sent to him at the laboratory.

A good story is told which illustrates his devotion to work. A man who desired an interview on an important matter went to see Mr Edisou one day. Ho found the idventor in a dentist's chair, undergoing a painful operation on his teeth. "I should like to speak to you a few moments on a very important subject, Mr Edison," the visitor said. "All right. Go ahead and talk. But I cannot afford to give both you and the dentist a separate engagement," replied Mr Edison at intervals while the dentist was working. The spectacle was a curious one, to see the veteran inventor lying on his back in the laboratory, with the dentist grinding away at his teeth, and at the same time listening to the words of his visitor, and occasionally making comments on the subject xmder discussion. Mr Edison has always been very jealous of his time, and expects his employees to be equally careful lest a single minute that might yield to an important invention should slip by. A year or two ago, and, old friend, whose son was just starting out in life, called upon Mr Edison and presented his son.

"My boy", said the friend, "is about t start his business career, Now I would like you to give him a few words of advice, and a motto which he can adopt in his work." , >,

Mr Edison was very busy at the; time with half a dozen engagements pressing. But, looking up at the big dial of the clock in the laboratory, and shaking the young man's hand warmly, he sitid with a smile that is pecularjy his own:—

"Young man, the best advice I can gire you is, 'Never look at the clock.'"

The Political Crisis in Cape Colony.

VIEWS FO "MATABELE" THOMPSON.

IReuter's representative has bad an inter view with Mr Frank ' Matabele' Thompson, member for Wynberg in the Cape Legislative • Assembly, and a member of the Cape Parlia ment for the past ten years. In discussing the great political question in the colony, he said —rt I speak as i a supporter of' the present Ministry, whose policy is that of Mr Rhodes. T admit having been one of those who a year ago signed a petition for the suspension of the Constitution, but this was when Rhodes was alive, and the was in full swing. The object of the petition was to facilitate the movement of troops and give the Imperial Government a freer hand, to legalise expenditure, and fo on. Now the situation has completely changed, and I en tirely agree with Sir Gordon Sprigg that to suspend the Constitution 'would be a cala mi ty, v >r Mr Rhodes is dead and peace is pro claimed. Had the Constitution been sus pended duringßhodeb'lifetime he, with his immense influence, would never have been ■•■a-party, to-packing the House with one sided politicians. The suspension of the Constitution at the present juncture would be a retrograde step. Its immediate effect would be to nullify the good feeling which is happily beginning to manifest itself, and to foster racial animosity.

If it were in my power I would abolish bGth the South African League and the Bond, for beween them they keep up a political and racial ferment which is antagonistic to the welfare of Cape Colony. Had Mr Rhodes been alive, he would have been the first man to have held out the olive branche to the Dutch element in con ditions such as the present. The man he hated in politics was not the good old patriarchal Boer, but the foreign Dutchman, who used less educated men to further his ends.

1 am quite satisfied to leave the Constitu tion in,the hands of the present Ministers. There is no necessity to summon Parliament until next year, and by that time a good deal will have been done in commenting a good understanding. Then I hope to see men like Schreiner return to politics. With a year's peace South Africa will progress to such degree that we should hardly realise that there has been a war. But this will not be the case if we are to begin this new era by distrusting our fellow Cape politi cians and so necessitating the partial main tenance of military rule.

BUSINESS NOTICES. FLOATING KIDNEY, DISORDERED LIVER, CHRONIC INDIGESTION, NEURALGIA IN THE SIDE AND BACK -m/B"R'ERNEST A. CLEMENT, of the _oL *Taiti, who ia in the employ of the Hutt County Council, relates his most remarkable case as follows:—"To Proprie tor Plantekoa. Sir,—l feel it my duty both to you and also suffering humanity to make known the benefit I have derived from the use of Plantekoa. 1 have been under treat ment for years for my kidneys, liver, and chronic indigestion. Under examination the Doctors thought I had a float ing kidney, and prescribed medicines and lotions* for treatment, and in fact I have iodine and other things in the house now that weae supplied to paint my haik. In addition to the complaint men tioned I used to suffer at times most ex- J cruciating pains from neuralgia in the side and back. Beside the doctor's treatment I have tried almost countless Patent MedW cines in the effort to get relief. I can honestly say that Plantekoa has made a new man of me, has cured the ailments above referred to, and I am now enjoying j better health than I have done for years. Any further information will be gladly ' furnished if desired. I wish to say also that Plantekoa Ointment has proved a wonderful friend to me. About six years ago after playing in a foot ball match my body became covered with pimples, which turned to chronic eczema. During those years I cannot describe the suffering caused nor yet count the number of ointments and the like that I tried to relieve this terrible complaint. When I used to perspire at my work, the _ smarting, itching, and yet burning irritation would nearly drive me crazy. I have USED PLANTEKOA OINTMENT with result that I have not the slighest trace of the complaint left, and my skin is as clear as that of a little child. While in a very heated condition I put on another Footballer's jersey in mistake for my own, I do not know if that had anything to do with starting my complaint, but a singular fact was that the irritation commenced at that time, and covered my body, arms and neck, while my face, legs, and hands were free. Suffice to say that whatever way it. came Plantekoa has cured it completely. It will be seen by my letter that I have had my share of suffering, and really the con dition I have been in life was not worth living. After my experience PLANTEKOA STANDS WITHOUT A RIVAL." Ask ycur Chemist or Storekeeper for it. Full particulars and testimonials on ap plication to PLANTEKOA PROPRIETARY, Wellington.

Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—l feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Ross Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman cvrne into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look very ill," f,n(i you may depend * was- He added, Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. I alwayß keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this.—l remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher- Bbos., and Shearman Bbos., Ashburton.
