WORDS OF WISDOM;
A WAR PARADOX.
Plan to Pool tho Conductor Waa
Fru.tralcd.
WUun Willie's mother ami aunt de
cided to take him Houtli with thorn, of
course it was only sfter great fore
thought on their part.
"I don’t believo we’d have to pay,”
ssid Aunt Sarah. “Willie looks to be
flve or under, at lenst not a day older,
and I'm suro we could squeeze him
through."
“But if he know we wore lying
about his agu, saying ho is flve when
he is really' six, do you think he would
be still? He’s a manly little fellow,
yon know, and likes people to think
ho is seven or eight. And don’t yon
think it would be setting him a bad
example to flb about him anyway?"
Aunt Sarah thought awhile and thou
said suddenly: "I have it Kstharine;
we’ll just tell Willie ho had no birth
day this year, therefore ho isn’t quite
flve. That will do, and Willie won’t
know we are fibbing about him, for he
doesn’t know how old he is himself
without our telling him.” •
“All right,” acquiesced Willie's
mother, “we’ll do that, and I shall in
form the child that ho has had no
birthday this year."
Preparations were made for the trip,
and while waiting for tho carriage
Willie's mother called him to her and
said: "Willie, I want to tell yon that
you have had no birthday this year."
Willie looked up and his eyes
opened wide. Thou his mother asked,
“How old does that make yon, Wil
lie?”
Willie thought a minute. “Not
quite flve, mamma," he answered.
When the oonduotor reached their
seats end was handed two full-fare
tickets he looked along at tho little
boy sitting next the aisle.
"How old is the child, madam?" he
asked.
"Not quite flve," the mother an
swered, sliding along the seat and
squeezing her son into oven a smaller
apaoe.
The conductor was not quito satis
fied. Looking down at Willie and
patting his onrly brown Load, he
asked, "How old. are you, my little
man?"
"Well,” spoke up Willie, “if I’d
a-had a birthday this year I'd be six,
bnt as I haven't I ain't quite flve."

An Incident of tlie Wsr.
Many are the humors of the war.
Here is one of thorn: Wheu the oruiser
Topeka was brought across the ocean
her offleert had a merry time with the
crew. The vessel was built for Portu
gal, and her name, when our Govern
ment purchased her, was the Diogenes.
On the third day out from Liverpool
her officers deoided to mount a few
guns, but when the order was issued
there was loud grumbling among the
crew. Having notioed the prevailing
mutinous spirit, thelieutouant in com
mand had the troublesome men called
before him and asked what was wrong.
The leading Bee-lawyer of the party
stepped forward and mado the follow
ing brief and pithy spoooh: “When
we shipped on this 'ere wessei, sir,
she was iu a British yard, an' we thort
she was British from stem to stern.
But the anohor’e no more'n h'isted an'
we're no more’n under way 'an ye calls
*er the Diognoees an' runs hup the
Brazilian flag. That alone was sus
picious. We'e two days out an’ ye
runs hup the American flag an' calls
'er the Tapiooa. We think ye're
nothin’ but a bloomin'pirate." Great
is the danger of having a logical mind
on board ship.
Watchmaker*' Minns.
A highly interesting story is told to
aooouut for the faot tluit almost every
wooden olook in Amerioa lias its hands
painted to indioate the hour of eight
sen minutes past eight. It is related
that most suoh watehmakors' signs
were originally made liyono mau, who
was at first in the habit of painting
the hands to indioate any old or
young hour that struak his fauoy when
ho asue to that part of the job. But
wheu President Linooln was assassin
ated he conceived tho idea of com-
tnemorating tho event by recording
the hour and minute theruof upon all
bis wooden timepieces, u custom ever
since perpetuatod. There is some
thing striking and dramatio about this
notion of time standing still forever
after an event of such tragic signifi
cance. There iB no doubt about the
tact that nearly all tho wooden clooks
do indicate tho hour of oighteen min
utos past oight—you can see that for
yourself. But if the olockmaker
thought be was thereby recordiug the
hour of the assassiuation his intelli
gence was as woodon as his wares, for
President Lincoln wbb shot not at
eighteen minutes past eight, but at
about fifteen minutes past ten.—Now

Hunator Pfeflfar't Potato**.
Senator Pfeifer is fond of relating
the story of how he once doped the
managers of a Kansas county fair,
“On examination of the sweet pota
toes exhibited,” he says, “I saw that
the size of the speoimons was nothing
to brag of, and I sent out to a grooery
store and puroliased a bushel of fine
ones; took the small ones out for
home use, carried the rest to the fair
grounds, entered them in my own
name and drew the premium for the
best speoimen of sweet potatoes grown
in Wilson County."—Pittsburg Dis
patch.
“The war with Spain demonstrated
one thing very thoroughly as far as it
wont,” remarked a Boldier who wears
two medals for marksmanship to a
Washington Stnr reporter, "and that
is that marksmauship, as generally
understood, is not nooesnary; that tho
soldier who has had no practico at
rille ranges makes as effective a sol
dier as one who hns devoted years to
targot practico at the rifle ranges. I
don't want to be unddtstood as saying
that a soldier can be mnoh of a suc
cess who does not knw how to handle
his rifle, for it is absolutely neoessary
that be knowB bow to shoot. For ef
fective service it is not necessary,
however, that he should be specially
skilled iu marksmanship; that is, that
he can place bullet after bullet in a
space the size of a targot ten inches in
diameter. There is no such restric
tions in actual warfare. It is only sel
dom that there is any fancy shooting
to ho done, and in overy case tho tar
got which is the objective point is a
man. Tons and tons of ammunition
have been fired by the various regi-
meuts of the Natiounl Guard of the
States during the past ten years, un
der tho idea that skilled marksman
ship, by its results iu actual warfare,
would repay the enormous oxpense of
the practico, and the idea was en
couraged that tho best marksman was
the best soldier. Tho elfect of this
was bad, in that it discouraged many
young men who were not specially
skillful in hitting the tnrgets from re
maining in the guard. When the
time for aotual service arrived i| was
surprising how fowof the oraok marks
men of the National Guard ontored.
All kinds of engagomoutB kept thorn
from going in. Many of them were
good, but others trivial. Oue of tho
results was that mauy regiments en
tered the serviue without any of the
most skilled marksmen and others
with but few. The fortunes of war
provouted but a few regiments from
doing tho actual shooting that was
necessary, but those that did drnw
prizes and get into aotunl service did
aB well and rendered as effective ser-
i as if they had bad their best rifle
gallery shooters with them.”

A characteristic story of General
Scott is told in connection with the
sword presented to him by the State
of Louisiana, through the Legislature,
at the close of the Mexican War.
He was accosted one day by a man
who said: “General Soott, I had the
honor of doing most of the work on
the sword presented to yon by the
State of Louisiana. I should like to
ask if it was juBt as you would have
ahoBen.”
“It’s a very lino sword, sir, a very
fine sword, indeed,” said the general.
"I am proud to have it. There is
only one thing I should havs pre
ferred different. The inscription
should have been on the blade, sir.
The Hcabbsrd may bo taken from us,
but the sword, noverl"
Tho sword cost about flve hundred
dollars, the prinoipal expense being
in the scabbord, which was richly
obasod and ornamented.—Youth’s

Tho dam’s eggs are carried by the
mother on her gills. Wheu there are
Ash in the water with them, the mother
clams discharge the eggs, whiah soon
hatch, but if there are no flsh they
carry the eggs until they decay. The
reason of this strange behavior is this:
When the eggs are set free in the
water, they soon hatch, and the little
ones swim about until they find some
flsh to which to attach themselves.
They live for a timo on the muous of
the flsh and then drop oil, sink to the
bottom and form burrows for them
selves. This curious semiparasitio life
iB no doubt a reversion to tho habit of
some ancient ancestor.—Popular Sci-
euuo Monthly.
A Submerged Island.
A submerged island has been found
1000 miles due wost from Gibraltar,
which offers a curious problem for
geographers. It was discovered by
tho Prinoe of Mouaco, and will soou
be placed on the charts issued by the
Hydrographio Office at Washington.
The sunken island was discovered
quite by acoideut by the Prince, while
making soundings from his yacht,
Princess Alice, aud tho formation was
accordingly named after the yacht.
The island is supposed to have been
lit one time a huge volcano. Its shape,
whioh has been determinld by careful
soundings, is rnnch tho same as that
of a huge cooked bat. The island is
iu no danger of interfering in the
least with navigation, Binoe its highest
point is fourteen fathoms below the
level of the sea.—Washington News.

An ndaptationjof the Bollee horseless
carriage, driven by a gasoline engine,

Quebec, is the aoutxivor of the new

matic tired wheels of the ordinary
Uolleo carriage he substitutes Hteel
runners for the forepart of the carriage,
aud a driving-wheel, whose rim is
studdod with steel points, for the rear
part. The steering apparatus sots
upon the forward runners. The gaso
line reservoir,containing seven quarts,
suffices for a run of fifty miles.
A Phllo.oph.r*. Opinion.
The Millerites had appointed a cer
tain day for the end of world. On that
day Mr. Emerson waB quietly walking
in Boston, and was met by a friend,
who asked, “Do you known, Mr.
Emerson, that they say the world is to
lie done with at two o'clook this after
noon?”
Emerson thought for a moment, and
then replied, bb u philosopher should,
"Wa can do very well without it."

It was an Ayrshire parson, and into

not.—Glasgow News.

GEORGIA STATE NEWS.
The most spledid military speotaola
ever witnessed on the parade grounds
of Camp Nortben was presented Sun
day in the grand review of the Third
Georgia regimont by Colonel Candler.
It was Colonel Candler's last weekly
review and inspection of the magnifl-
oent body of men who have for four
months been under his command.
The headquarters of the Seventh
army corps, with General F.V. Greene
in command, iu the absence of General
Fitzbngh Lee, arrived in Savannah
Snuday morning, followed by the Sec
ond Louisiana and First Texas regi
ments. The two regiments nnloaded
their stuff at once, and in a short time
were well established in camp on Dale
svenuo. Gonoral Greene and his staff
officers have taken up their headquar
ters at the DeSoto hotel.
Colonel James E. Brown, state li
brarian, makes some suggestions of
ospeciai interest to lawyers in his
annual report. Ho advocates the re
printing by tho state of the earlier
volumes of the Georgia Reports. The
ultimate life of a copyright is forty-
two years. Colonel Brown says that
the copyright has expired on the first
twonty volumes and iu the course of a
few years the copyright will expire on
all the reports up to the sixty-sixth, i
From that volume on the reports are I
copyrighted by the state.

From the taxpayer's standpoint,
probably the most important measure
that will come before the present leg
islature is the tax reform bill which
will lie introduced by the speaker of
the liouso, Mr. John D. Little. Its
object will be to put on the digest all
taxable property which does not ap
pear there, and to secure a fair valua
tion for all property returned. This
is a task which lias engaged the ablest
minds iu this utid other states, but so
far no one lias presented a well-digest
ed plan to the Georgia . legislature.
Thu equalization hill passed seven
years ago was a failure, and was re
pealed by the next legislature. Other '
bills havo been introduced from time i
to time, but they have died of their
owu imperfections.
Hon. J. M. Torrell,attorney general
of the state, has completed hiH annual
roport to the governor. In this paper
the attorney goueral reviews the work
of bis office for the past year, and he
joins with state librarian, Col. Brown,
in recommending that the state re
publish the early volumes of the Geor
gia reports so that they may be planed
within reuoh of every lawyer. Tho
attorney general advises that tlie rail
road commission law be bo amended
that the commission shall have power
to compel a railway to issue bills of
lading over connecting lines. He also
recommends that the law be so amond-
ed as to fix the venue of all suits
brought by dirootlou of the railroad !
commission for violations of its orders j
requiring tlie erection of depots in tho
county where tlie order is to be exe
cuted. The prison commission is re- i
viewed, and it is recommended that
tlie law applying to the examination
of private state banks by the state
treasurer be amended to coufer upon
the treasurer that authority.
