The cow may be a useful animal,
but when it comes to singing she Is a
most lamentable failure. However
this has never crossed her mind, and
she sure tries hard to learn. There is
one cow in the city who is especially
obnoxious to a young man who rooms
within easy reach of her melodies. It
is only'in the early morning that she
improves the shining hours, and just
when the young man wants to sleep,
having been out late at night, she be
gins to make glad the morning. He
tries hard to sleep, but is forced out
at 6 every morning almost in tears. A
sympathetic friend suggested to him
that the cow was practicing up for
Sunday, at which he gave an exclama
tion of disgust, for on Sundays he
makes it a point never to rise before
9: 30. But unless the animal gets tired
out before then he will break his rec
ord for once.
LEAGUE WILL
DISCUSS MATTER
Of Proposed Closing of Freight Of

At a meeting of the board of direc
tors of the Albany Business League
last night a call was made for a special
meeting of the league on Tuesday
night, the 22nd Inst., when the matter
of advisability of having the railway
freight offices of the city closed at the
noon hour on Saturdays will be con
sidered.
As has been stated In these columns,
a petition has already been circulated
and largely signed by business men
of the city asking that the freight of
fices be closed on Saturday at the
hour stated. The Business League, at
its regular meeting last Tuesday night,
took a stand against the proposed in
novation, on the ground that if carried
Into effect it would injure Albany’s
trade:' The-'railroad people take a dif
ferent view of the matter.
Just what the respective contentions
are need not be gone into fully. It is
urged on the one hand that the change
to tBe plan proposed would delay the
shipment of a considerable quantity of
freight fully twenty-four hours, while
it Is contended on the other hand that
no situation would develop which
could possibly injure Albany’s trade.
As stated above, the matter will be
gone Into fully Tuesday night, when
both sides to the controversy, If such
it may be termed, will be heard. The
petition referred to Is addressed to the
Railroad Commission of Georgia, and
it is presumed that, pending Tuesday
night’s meeting, it will not be for
warded to that body.
All who are Interested In the matter
are Invited to attend Tuesday night’s
meeting.

One of the Mont Curious Growths of
the Went Indies.
The cupey, or, ns it is sarcastically
called fn the English possessions, "the
attorney," Is one of the most curious,
as It Is one of the most picturesque,
denizens of the virgin forests of the
West Indian islands. It belongs to tho
parasitical family of trees or plants;
but, terrible to relate, it Invariably,
with the basest ingratitude, destroys
all life In tho unfortnnnto tree that
cherishes it In Its early growth. The
seeds are borne on the wings of the
wind and deposited on the branches
of other trees, when they burst into
roots, which arc dropped toward the
ground all around the "nurse" tree.
In time these roots reach tho ground
and strike into the soil.
From this moment the roots grow
stronger and strouger until they resem
ble n lot of rope ladders thrown over
the tree. Next the parasite sends down
a great cord, which twines around the
trunk of the supporting tree, at first as
though In having embrace, but it grows
tighter and tighter, eventually stran
gling its benefactor out of existence.
The nurse tree thus killed rots to de
cay, and from the immense fibrous
roots of the destroyer now springs a
great trunk, which rises high into the
air. When a cupey Is full grown it
presents a magnificent spectacle, for
the. cordlike root rises often to fifty or
sixty feet and supports in midair the
vast tree itself.
MARIE ANTOINETTE.
Two Dramntlc and Contrantlng Epi
sode. In Her Life.
Tblstelton-Dyer, in his “Royalty In
All Ages,” describes two dramatic
and tragically contrasted episodes in
the life of Marie Antoinette, the lovely
and 111 fated queen of Frafice. Once,
In the days of her greatest popularity,
when she went to the opera of “Iphl-
genla," when Achilles came to the line
“Let Us sing and celebrate the queen, 1
ho turned toward the rad|ant young
sovereign and sang two additional im
promptu tines of charming compliment.
This graceful and unexpected homage
so delighted the audience that “all was
shouting and clapping-of hands, and—
what never happened at the opera be
fore—the chorus was encored, and
there were cries of ‘Long live the
queen." at which expression of feeling
her majesty was so affected that she
shed tears.”
On the next occasion, when Marie
Antoinette’s sun of popular favor bad
set and she was nearing the tragic
close of her life, one of the actresses In
“Unforeseen Events" bowed to her as
she sang the words "Ah, how I love
my mistress!” In n moment all was In
uproar, and the theater was full of
hoarse, angry cries of “No mistress!
No master! Liberty!" and “No master!
No queen!" and it was some minutes
before the tumult quieted down and it
was possible to proceed with the play.
SOUPS AND BROTHS.
Tber. Are Stimulating, but Have Lit
tle nutritive Value.
Soups and broths made of the meat
pieces alone and without the addltlou
of meat substance, eggs, vegetables or
cereals have little nutritive value, al
though they do possess stimulating
■properties.
A dog would starve to death in ten
days if ted upon beef broth pure and
simple.
Soup Interferes with digestion when
ever a full meal is eaten. I consider it
as being entirely superfluous and ad
vise Its discontinuance in a substantial
dinner menu.
Soup, belug practically all water,
plays an important part In conjunction,
with the large quantities of other
liquids Injected during mealtime in de
laying and interfering with digestion
and laying a foundation for stomach
trouble. Through It and the other
liquids used the stomach is not only
overfilled and unnecessarily burdened,
but the gastric secretions are so weak
ened by dilution that they can act but
slowly upon the food mass. Here
again we have the food remaining In
the stomach for too long a pbrlod, and
there Is likely to be produced ail of the
symptoms and signs of an intoxication
due to the absorption into the system
of the products of decomposed foods.
Soup eaten by Itself or with a light
meal, as a rule, does not net harmfully.

There Is an are light at the corner
of Broad and Monroe streets that has
either been turned off or has gone on
a strike. Anyway, It doesn’t burn at
night. Mightn’t it be fixed? Now,
this same region, over which this par.
ttcular light has dominion, la a favor

clined, and perhaps the light went out
on account' of 'this. There are two
reasons why this could be the case;
Either, In an attempt to help the love-
smitten ones, It kindly went out-
