A reporter was interviewing Thomas A. Edison; “ And you, sir,” he said to the inventor, “made the first talking machine?” “No,” Mr Edison replied; “the first one was made long before my time—out of a rib.” “ Are you married, my man?” a lady asked a sailor. “Yes, indeed, mum; married and fourteen children.” “Poor fellow, travelling about like this! Don’t yon ever get homesick?” “Only when I’m homo, mum.” A Ney York professor says that married met; are. much more inventive than single men. They have to be. —‘ Punch/
