On bis person were his loaded pistol and $l3O in money, as he had drawn his salary in Atlanta. His watch was lying about ten feet from his body and was still running. The deceased was born July <6, 1844, and was in his 54th year. He lost an eye when a boy from getting the blade of his knifo stuck in it. When the war came on, through that physical disabil ity would have exempted him, he volun teered in the 39th Ga., at the age of 16. In his county he was a man of maik, clear headed, faithful to his friends and of unerring political judgment.

There was an American gentleman who genially told Pio Nono that he had had the honor of being presented to his holiness' father, the late pope. My housekeeper is a Roman Catholic, and I was wicked enough to tell her this story. If she had been able, she would have annihilated the whole country of America on the spot. She was not alto gether satisfied with me, but I believe she set against it the relief I had for merly given by telling her that the holy father was not (as she had firmly be lieved) confined to two rooms in the Vatican by armed sentries of King Hum bert.—Notes and Queries.

Baptist Mission in East Rome Will Begin a Meeting Sunday. The Methodist of East Rome have kindly invited the Baptist brethren to occupy their church while they are car i tying on a week of protracted meetings. Dr. Headden, of the First Bapti-t church, is to conduct the meetings and will preach his first sermon at 11 o’clocK Sunday morning. Dr. Battle has consented to occupy the pulpit of the First Baptist church Sunday morning, but no services will be held at night, A Snake Story. A road party, comprising the usual gang of from 50 to 60 Kaffins, with a white man as superintendent, was em ployed on the construction of a road in the Tugela valley, Natal, about 30 or more years ago. In the course of their work they came on a huge stone which it was necessary to remove, but beneath it was the home of a large black mam ba, well known to the neighboring in habitants as being old, and therefore very venomous. The mamba is the most deadly of the South African snakes, and the superintendent anticipated some trouble over that rock. He offered a bribe for the snake’s skin, and the gang “Wow—d!” and sat down to “bema gwi” (take snuff), but a slim youth sauntered forward and amid the jeers and protestations of the rest declared himself equal to the task. He took from his neck what looked like a bit of shriv eled stick, chewed it, swallowed some of it, spat out .the rest on his hands and proceeded to mb his glistening brown body and limbs all over. Then, taking up his stick and chanting a song of de fiance, he advanced with great confidence and swagger to the bowlder. There he roused up the mamba, who, in great fury at being disturbed, bit him in the lip with great venom. The boy took no notice of the bite, but broke the snake’s back with his stick, and bringing him to his master asked for the reward, ob taining which he went back to his work, and the bite of the reptile had no effect on him whatever. No bribe, not even that of a cow (bet ter than any gold in the eyes of a Kaffir), would induce this native to disclose the secret of his antidote, which, he said, had been handed down in his family for generations.—London Spectator. Make a Maa of Him. The best way to cure a student of pet ty vices and childish trickery is to make a man of him. Give him something real to do, and he will not fritter his nervous strength away in conviviality or in degrading associations. But to forbid excesses and abuses, putting nothing in their places, cannot be very effective. Not long ago I had occcasion to say: “If your college assume to stand in loco parentis, with rod in hand and spyglasses on its nose, it will not do much in the way of moral training. The fear of punishment will not make young men moral or religious—least of all a punishment so easily evaded as the discipline of a college. If your college claims to be a reform school, your pro fessors detective officers, and your pres ident a chief of police, the student will give them plenty to do. “A college cannot take the place of a parent. To claim that it does is mere pretense. You may win by inspiration, not by fear. ‘Free should the scholar be; free and brave.’ The petty re straints that may aid in the control of college sneaks and college snobs are an insult to college men and college wom en. It is for the training of men and women that colleges exist.”—David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stan ford, Jr., university, in North Ameri can Review. Cooking and Insanity. A writer in What to Eat asserts that 40 per cent of the women inmates of insane asylums have been cooks; that women cooks either go mad or get mar ried, while men cooks make money. The explanations given for this are log ical and true, the causes that affect the health and lead to brain deterioration indisputable. It is but another proof of the fact quoted recently from Dr. Maudsley, that women “cannot run over the same course at the same pace as men. ” The coarser skin of the male and his heavier frame are more fitted to en dure the extremes of heat and hot va pors that must be endured by cooks. Another moral to be drawn from the article is that we cook too mach; our days and nights are hampered with meals. Advancing civilization demands a study of greater simplicity in food; to call a halt in the race after all sorts of materials and combinations to whet ca pricious appetites. Gold Medal.
