Of woman man is ignorant, . Just twice in all his life, Once when lie is courting her, - And after she’s his wife. Industry is the best tonic for a thiu pookctbook.

There arc two ways of learning things in this world—by reading and by making mistakes that you regret.

Although only .one-fifth of her land is cultivated her people are sufficiently prosperous and wealthy and up-to-date to be able to fight the greatest military power on the globe auct to show such cour age and military genius as to aston ish the world. The Japanese government intends to issue pictorial postal cards as souvenirs of the war. It is always true that one ‘go- ahead’ man will accomplish more than a dozen of the ‘wait-and-see' kind.

Our silks and satins are as soft as tho cheeks of a pretty woman, as beautiful as the rainliow. Our parcels are pack ed with as much care as a young married woman takes of her hus band. ” Every boy and girl should he dis ciplined thoroughly in the matter of living within one’s means. The greatest part of business rascality— embezzlement, gambling, cheating, stealing-—is caused by living, or a desire to live, beyond one’s income.

The recent dry weather has opened cotton so fast that all the hands in the state cannot keep up with it. Common laborers who usually make 75 cents -a clay are getting twice that now, or they will quit you and go to the cot ton patch. Tho washerwomen are gone, the servants are gone, all hands and the oooK arc gone to tho cotton patch, and you can't ger,your mind changed without changing it yourself. A report from Macon says no less than 100-farmers were in Macon Sunday hunting cotton- pickers. They came from all di rections, and some from a hundred miles away. Half a dozen wagons were at the livery stables Sunday night in Macon to carry hands to the country, aud one man said be had foriy bales open. In Vienna the wagons are here before day every morning for the hands, and they are brough back every night. A man may sit on a sulky plow and cultivate a cotton crop, but he will never sit there and pick u. A WONDERFUL INVENTION It is interesting to note that for tunes are frequently made by ihe invention of articles of minor impor tance.
