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 fices at.Noon on Saturdays—Special Meeting Tuesday.

Forbes returned to her home In Milledgevllle today after a 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. Magnolia blooms are getting com mon now, but still, none the less beau tiful. The strawberry is holding its own.

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. —What to Eat. f «?♦ Card Etlaaetle. “Hand in a lot of cards,” Mid tbs elder woman. “Why?? was the tourled Inquiry. “Welj,'If you don't bland' in! enough,” she said, as her companion dived ddqp Into her case, “they will say you don't know what Is right If you give too many, however, they will think that you know better than they do and that there la some new style they have heard nothing about Hand him a lot’’—Kansas City Independent.
