The Faliyahs axe the greatest leg- ei'dem'ainists, necromancers and hyp- notists in the known world. One of their practical feats iswalk- ing in the air. The Fahyati who performs it. lays flat down with hi a face toward the earth for a minute or a minute and a half, then arises, and forcing his arms against hia sides stands very erect, deliberately walks into the air as far as power of endurance will permit him, at times reaching an altitude of from 250 to 400 feet, when he simply walks down Various Concoctions lat Put an Abused Individual Into IVer Condition.

Savannah News thinks that, they were adopted, because they werelSsii presented on the printed tickets asjt to favor their adoption. Comparatively few of the voters, there is reason to believe, understood them. Although they had been_explained and discussed in the newspapers, there was so little interest taken in thpm that no, general effort was made to understand •them. However, there is every reason to believe that their adoption will be helpful to the State and will sa 76 money to the people. Although the farmers of the present Constitution contemplated only a 40 days’ session of the Legislature every two years,~the Legislature, as a rule, was in session from 120 to 150 days in Cr'-am of the News Carefully Collected and Condensed into Short Paragraphs for Citizen Readers. The Ware county Tobacco Growers’ Association have established a factory, and have begun making cigars. An.

To try to make it even clearer I will go into the philosophy of the trick, starting from the first prin ciples of electrical law, congeniality: Two persons are introduced to each other. Instinctively each party to the introduction knows whether there is a feeling of perfect congeniality or not. If there is a congeniality that proves that one is the positive and the other is the negative; if that feel ing of congeniality is wanting then they both possess similarly electrified forms and naturally are repellant. Of course after associations may ofttimes make two such similarly electrified forms friends, but ’tis very rarely the case. The same law pre cisely that governs the feelings of these men who have been introduced to each other is that which controls and keeps the universe in place. The world is supposed to be 25,000 miles in circumference, 10,000 miles more or less in diameter; it revolves only once around the sun every twenty-four hours. That is a pretty rapid rate of speed, it must be admitted, and naturally some force of electricity must be evolved; call it positive. Then if the world is positive space must be nega tive; otherwise one would be repel lant to the other and we could not hold our place in the terrestrial firma ment. Now if the^world does'.-hold , its place by that law of electrical com geniality, why is it not possible for the man who possesses the knowledge Atlanta that represent a total capital of a $250,000, employ 200 hands, ship year- | : ly 40,000,000 feet of manufactured lum- 0 ber, and 60,000,000 feet of rough, or y iO0,000,000 altogether, worth $30,000,- v UUO. e Col.

J. H. Jeffries, living six miles from Cuthbert, was robbed one night las* week of $1,675 in cool cash, besides bis notes and other valuable papers.

He of fers a reward of $500 for its return and no questions asked. Robert N. Brooks, a young farmer living ten miles from Griffin, is not. complaining about bard times. He is ajoung, married man, and ^started out AN OLD DUTCH FARMHOUSE. Carious and Interesting Features of Some Real Ancient Dwellings. The old farmhouse usually con sists of a kitchen, a large living room, a cheeseroom, a dairy, two small bedrooms in the garret, and at the back (forming part of the main build ing) the big cow stable with its huge loft, and a wide space in the middle, where thrashing and winnowing are still done'in primitive fashion. Hay ricks with movable roofs on four poles, various barns or sheds, and an outside kitchen called the “baking house,” where the rough work is done (food cooking for the cattle, etc.), surround the main building. The “baking house” is often used as a living room in summer, and is more cheerful than the solemn apart ment into which the visitor is in variably ushered. A wide chimney lined with tiles stretches nearly across one side of this room, but the open fire on the heartli. has long ago dis appeared and given place to an ugly stove.

Incidents Which Led Up to the Losing of the Head of Mrs. McCarthy’s Goat. He was a boy about twelve years of age and he liad in his hand a rail road torpedo which he had picked up off the tracks. As he came along by Mrs. McCarthy’s cabin be looked in and shouted j “Mrs. McCarthy, your old billy- goat is following me about for an Is he waggin ay his tail?” . “The same, Mrs. McCarthy.” “Then give it to him. His sinse of slunell inches him that there’s sum- thin refresliin in tli,e box.” The boy hesitated; no longer, but dropped the box and crossed the street. The goat seized tbe box in his mouth, turned around three or four times, and then stood still and worked, his jaws. He couldn’t re member of ever having tasted of such fruit before, and he was hurrying to get down to the core, when there was a flash and an explosion and he turned a back handspring and lay quiet. “Ah, now, what’s the racket?” de manded Mrs. McCarthy as she ap peared at the door. "Is he dead?” called the boy. "Monty mither of Moses!

If we look at a lady’s sealskin jacket we at once observe its rich brown color and the velvety softness and denseness of the fine hairs composing it. If this be compared with the coarse, hard or dry salted sealkin as imported, or, still better, with the vast difference between them, and wonders how the coarse, oily looking, close pressed hair of the.live animal can ever he trans formed into the rich and costly gar ment above spoken of. Passing our fingers among the hairs of the cat or dog, we may notice fine short hairs at the roots of the longer, coaser, general covering of the*animal. This is so-called under- fur. But in the greafer number of animals the short hairs ar*> so few nnl^nn-fi. adjourned .session. Under the amend ment there will be a session of fifty days each year, and no adjourned ses sion. The amendments relative to the first and second readings of certain kinds of bills and the granting of certain kinds of charters by the Secretary of State will save the time of the Legislature without detriment to the public inter est. Great care will, of course, have to be exercised in the framing of the bills to authorize the Secretary of State to grant charters, so that such charters will not contain extraordinary powers. There will be no difficulty, however, in framing such a bill as will amply pro tect the public. The State could very well get along with less lawmaking. Altogether too many laws are enacted. Many of them quickly become dead letters. The ti must come very soon when the Legis lature will give its attention only to general laws, leaving county commis sioners and municipel authorities to deal with purely local matters. Dumas aud His Pedigree. The stumbling block in pedigree building is the occasional cropping up of a disreputable ancestor whom you have a special reason for not re membering. Sydney Smith used to say “that several members of his family disappeared about the time of the assizes;” and most people remem ber the story of Alexandre Dumas, the elder, who had a considerable dash of the tar brush in his veins, and who was pestered about his pedigree by some antiquarian Smell fungus. “Your father, M. Dumas, said the bore, “was, I take it, a mulatto.” “Yes, sir.” “Thus your grandfather must have been a negro?” Precisely so.” “And your great grandfather, cher M. Dumas?” “A monkey, sir,” thundered the exasperated Alex : andre. “My pedigree ends where yours begins.”—G. A. Salain London Times. Poss of Caste. In the year 17GG the late Lord Clive and Air. Yerelst employed the whole influence of the government to restore a Hindoo to his caste who had for feited it, not by any neglect of his own, but by having been compelled by a most unpardonable act of violence to swallow a drop of cow broth. The Brahmins, from the peculiar circum stances of the case, were very anxious to complv with wianes ot the government. The principal men among them met at Kishnagur and once at Calcutta, but after consulta tions and an examination of their most ancient records they declared to Lord Clive that there was no precedent to justify the act. They found it impossible to restore the un fortunate man to his caste, and he died soon after of a broken heart.— Sydney Smith’s Essay on Indian Mis sions. The Most Unlucky Day. A statistician of the German gov ernment has come to the rescue of those persons who do not share the widespread superstition that Friday is the most unlucky day of the week. A short time ago he determined to make a scientific investigation of this question. The most fatal or un fortunate week day, according to Hie investigator, is not Friday, but Monday. —Exchange. the fur on its neck and about'its face slowly stood up, as if electrified. Except for this rising of the fur and a certain intensity of life in the whole attitude of the beast, it was as still as if cut from stone. Thje/bird quivered, trembled, looked fixedly at the cat, and finally, with a feeble shake of the wings, fell toward the cat, which bounded to seize it.' A lady tells me that she “does not be lieve that cats can charm birds, be cause she has seen a cat trying to charm a parrot, and the bird, greatly alarmed, scolded loudly.” This proves nothing; the parrot in general, or more probably that particular par rot, did not prove a good subject for the mesmeric power.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have always shown her marked attention, which she cordially appreciates, pay ing sincere homage to the princess, whom she considers the mo3tibeau- tiful woman in England. Th? old German emperor was a great favor ite of hers, but when a naive rirl at Homburg, and the then king sent her a message requesting hbr to walk with him in the morning while he drank the waters, she sent back the answer: “Certainly not'. I get up early for no king in Euiope.” Later when, a short time before his death, he sent in word to her tc visit him in his box, apologizing for being unable to go to her behind the scenes, she said -with tears in her oyes, “Oli, now, sire, I would run anywhere to see you.”—New York Sun.

Your poor wearied wife losing sleep night after night nursing the little one suffering from that night-fiend to chil dren and horror to parents, croup, should have a bottle of Sweet Gum and Mullein, an undoubted croup preventive and cure for coughs, colds and consumption. When a 17-year old girl sues a 74- year old lover for breach of promise of marriage it is high time little Cupid was given a good spanking. among what to our eyes constitute the coat. ” The remarkable feature, then, in the fur seals is its abundancy and density. The operation which the skin under goes to bring out, so to say, the fur, may he briefly-described as follows: The skin, after being washed free of grease, etc., is laid fiat on the stretch, flesh side up. A flat knife is then passed across the flesh substance, thin ning it to a very considerable extent. In doing this the blade severs the roots of the long, strong hairs, which pene trate the skin deeper than docs the soft, delicate ones under the fur. The rough hairs are then got rid of, while the fur retains its hold. A variety of subsidiary manipulations in which the pelt is softened and pre served, are next gone through. Then the fur undergoes a process of dyeing which produces that deep uniform tint so well known and admired. The dye ing process causes the fur to lose its natural curly character and present its limp appearance. from 24 acres in cotton he will pick at least ten bales. All of this was done by his own efforts, save just a little work that he hired done. He used but little guano and his crop is nearly ,all profit as it was not expensive to raise, aud next year it will be clear money as lie has enough to run him. A LITTLE WISDOM. The devil has always been afraid of the man he couldn’t scare. If money could make people good it wouldn’t be worth while to preach very much. The devil never has to try more than one or two kinds of bmt to catch people who do not think. If some people could have their way in this world, the devil would he willing to sleep all day every Sunday. There are some people in the church who would hurt the devil’s cause a great deal if they were to leave it. How soon the millenium would come if the good things people intend to do to-morrow were only done to-day. The devil would soon have to run if he couldn’t manage to make the Lord’s troops now and then fire into one an other. Make no Mistake.

A boastful young man of Kansas City, Mo., drank twenty-one glasses of whisky a few days ago while another fellow footed the bill.

My roadster was trembling all over with fright, but to save me I could see nothing. I thought it must be more footpads and spurred the horse forward, while I held my pistol ready for the expected attack. “As I passed a large walnut tree that covered the road a big muddy boot struck me in the face and scraped my hat off. I concluded that I didn’t need a hat, so did not stop to recover it.

Placing his left leg on a block of w'ood the suicide cooty cut it off just below the knee with a hatchet and tlieD cut his left arm so that it hung by a shred of skin only. He then pounded his head with a hatchet until he fainted. It must be a very violent form of in sanity which leads a man to thus hack himself to pieces, when there are so many pleasant methods of shuffling off this mortal coil. The Bishop of London is alarmed at the great increase of the drinking habit among women, both in public and at their homes. If English women a* <: becoming addicted to liquor, it is no wonder.

If you wish to secure a certain and st.eedv result, when using Ayer’s Sarsapa rilla, be careful in observing the rules of health, or the benefit may be retarded A fair and persistent trial of this medi cine never fails, when the directions are followed. A correspondent of the New York Press (stalwart republican) has discov ered that there is a secret colored or ganization in Ohio, 8,000 strong and growing every day, 'whose purpose is to defeat the republican party. The Press seems to have been panic-stricken by the news: but it will need to brace up, as there is likely to be worse behind. “Not all is gold that glitters” is a true saying; it is equally true that not all is sarsaparilla that is so labeled. If you would be sure of the genuine article, ask for Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and take no other. Health is too precious to be trifled with.

The young man from Georgia, who rolled into congress on the “ground swell” of ninet} 7 , smiles be nignly at his title of “Calamity Howler” while “Private” John Allen is prouder of that title than that of “Honorable” which Congress tacks onto his address. London ladies are now complaining because their dressmakers have not as yet invented a watch pocket which will be handy for use and safe to wear. The dressmakers evidently do not want to give up their traditional prejudice against putting any dress pocket where it would be possible for a man to find it.
