6 PROBLEM QUICKLY SETTLED. When Camillo di Righini, the charming child of Mme. Ella Rus sell, was born, his parents were in great doubt as to his nationality, for he was born two days out from New York on the Koenigin Luise, under the German flag. 11 is moth er is an American; his father, the Count di Righini, a pure Italian. On her father’s side Mme. Ella Rus sell’s grandfather was Irish and her grandmother Scotch, whereas her ma ternal grandfather was Welsh and her maternal grandmother Austrian. To add to these complications Ca millo’s birth was registered, accord ing to law, at the first port of call, which happened to be Cherbourg, France. What was the nationality of this little Italian-American-irish- Scotch - Welsh -German-Erench-Eng lish-Austrian infant ? This pro found problem for a long time per plexed all Mme. Russell’s friends and acquaintances, until the singer at last had the good fortune to con sult Mr. T. P. O’Connor, who, with out a moment’s hesitation, pro nounced the verdict: “Why, av coorse, he’s a son of ould Oireland.” —London Letter. . : Living Models,For Jewelry Designs. At Weimar, where since the days of Goethe artistic tastes have been cultivated under the natromice <*? X o the grand dukes, some artistically inclined ladies recently hind the clev er and original idea of representing a number of objects of the indus trial arts by living tableaux. This idea was carried into effect with much taste, and the ladies taking part in the representation were greatly applauded. To represent, for instance, a seal in gilt bronze two ladies clad in dresses of the color of bronze were posed, bent over a Chinese bowl, in imitation of modern industrial art which largely makes use of the graceful female figure. Brooches, combs, tie pins, pendants, belt buckles, etc., were shown in the same way. Reduced by photogra phy into working size, these living pictures form pretty designs for jewelry. Jewelers’ Circular-Week- Two Kaisers. In many ways the two kaisers—• Francis Joseph and Wilhelm 11. present many points of contrast. In nothing, perhaps, is this more mark ed than in the feverish activity of the younger man and the quiet calm of the elder. The German emperor comes near to realizing the idea of perpetual motion; he is essentially the traveling kaiser and has visited every city of importance in Europe —Paris, perhai s, excepted. Even Paris he is said to visit incognito. Tiie Austrian emperor, on the other* hand, rarely leaves his own domin ions, and now, having reached the age of seventy, he announces that he is no longer equal to th<s fatigue of paying return visits.—Pall Mull Gazette. i Measure of Popularity. Though Robert W. Chambers ft a popular author, he will rarely talk about his books. “Literary conceit is distasteful to me,” said lie the other day, “and I like to see it taken down. It was well taken dowTt in the case of a New York man last month. He has written a novel, and the puDlic li braries have put this book on their shelves. The man called at' one of the libraries to find out how his work was going with the public. He hoped to have his vanity tickled a little. “ ‘ls in?’ he said to the li brarian, naming his book. “ ‘lt never was out,’ was the re ply.”—New York Tribune. Depew’s Salt Mackerel. Even to this day Chauncey De pew is touchy at the mention of a harmless joke which was perpetrat ed at his expense many years asro. At that time he was abut checking freight on the wharf for Commo dore Vanderbilt and in his spare moments was fond of fishing in the river. One day, having set his line, he went into the office near by to resume his duties. The boys pulled it in, attached a salt mackerel and yelled to him that there was some thing on his book. He hurried out, of course, only to unu ihat he had been fooled. The joke is a sore point with the senator even nowa days, though no one seems to know just why.—Exchange. Pdd Figure of Speech. At the convention in St. Louis of the Catholic Total Abstinence society a Philadelphia delegate, Jo seph A. Osborn, had occasion to re fer to the difference and the con trast in the lots of men. “Some,” said Mr. Osborn, “become honored citizens, fruitful in good works; oth ers become worthless vagrants, de spised by all.” Then the speaker used an odd and striking figure. “So,” he said, “one slab of marble turns out a useful doorstep, while another only becomes a lying tomb stone.” THE FRENCH FRONTIER. Not less than ninety-three forti fied places of modern type, some of them being nearly impregnable, guard at present the French frontier From Dunkerque to Nice. Most of them have been built since the Franco-I’russian war at a cost of $400,000,000. Prance has to appro priate annually about $1,000,000 for the maintenance of these for tresses. Of late there are not a few military men, and among them Gen eral l’ierron, the former command er of the Fifth army corps, who ex press grave doubts as to the value of this chain of fortifications in time of war. They point to the fact that it would take about (100,- 000 men to garrison all the for tresses, including Paris and Lyons, an army whjch would undoubtedly be of more value in the field. Gen eral Pierron predicts a “total col lapse” in case of anew war with Germany if the numerous fortifica tions are to be retained. Scraping the Tongue. In olden times the mother always had in the cabinet a silver hoe—a little thing with a long handle— with which to scrape off the coated tongue <>f hi r chili!, and there were phlebotomies in those days who let a few oiMV.v o! blood from a ple thora- p c . f understand that there i: i ! j a re..irn,to those fa miliar practices-. Good! The other day an old friend of mine had his life saved by a generous bleeding at the nose, and another fellow was Cured of neuralgia in the face by stfaiping his tongue with one of his wife’s whalebones. This hone was taken from a corset and bent into the shape of a letter IT, much elon gated. The neuralgia had been rabid foP weeks, and physicians had been appealed to in vain. An hour after the tongue was scraped for the first time an improvement was no ticed, and in a few days the neu ralgia was gone, never to return. — New York Press. W:rs Fences arid Lightning. Since the use of wire fences has become so extensive the number of cattle killed each year by lightning greatly increased. Farmers’ in surance companies have investigat ed the matter and now come for ward with a warning to policy hold ers. Nearly all of the cattle killed by lightning have met their death in open fields, where, in many in stances, there was not even a tree to attract the electric fluid. As many dead cattle were found near wire fences, this led to the discov ery that the lightning was carried along the wires composing the fences. During a severe storm cat tle are liable to run until stopped by a fence. Here they stand lufddied together, ready for the bolt. A rem edy is suggested in running a ground wire every ten rods several feet into the earth.. Nitrogen Necessary For Life. The atmosphere is composed of a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen, the former substance being essential to life. It has been a matter of scien tific speculation, however, what part is played by the nitrogen, and whether it could be supplanted hv hydrogen. Professor Marcacci of Palermo, Italy, has recently shown that ip an atmosphere artificially constructed with an equal amount of hydrogen substituted for the ni trogen life cannot be supported for any length of time. Professor Marcacci tried to keep animals in such an atmosphere, but he found that they soon died, the same effects being noticed as would result from cold. This is explained by the fact that hydrogen possesses greater con ductivity for heat than nitrogen.— Harper’s Weekly. The Übiquitous Missourian. Very few states have done more than Missouri has to people the rest of the country. Uncle Sam’s cen sus enumerators in i9OO found Mis sourians distributed all over the United States. A little over 100,- 000 of them \vere residing in Kan sas in that year, 09,000 in Illinois, 51,000 in Texas, 47,000 in Oklaho ma, 45,000 in Arkansas, 35,000 in California, 34,000 in lowa, 33,000 in Indian Territory, 31,000 in Colo rado, 90,000' in Nebraska, 17,000 in | Oregon, Ib.UUU in Washington, 10,- 000 in Indiana and smaller numbers in other localities. In all 015,000 natives of Missouri in that year were residing in other parts of the United States. The number of course is much larger in 1904. Kansas City Journal. When Royalty Travels In Japan. There has existed in Japan for many centuries a curious law to the effect that whenever the emperor or empress appeared in public no other person .should seem to o. a higher place than tins' member of the royal family. Therefore on such occasions the shutters of all upper stories were drawn, and the upper parts of the houses past which the royal party moved were seemingly deserted. This law is still in effect. THE NEWS, CARTERSVILLE GEORGIA, OCTOBER 13, 1904. A LITTLE NONSENSE.

My little boy is sure to have grown while I have been waiting for this change.’ “I had to get even with somebody for that one. My chance came next day in the ribbon department. We were getting rid of job lots at a bargain. “ ‘Only 3 cents a yard ?’ asked one woman. “ ‘Yes, ma’am,’ I replied. “ ‘Shop worn, I suppose?’ she ask ed suspiciously. “ ‘No, ma’am,’ I said. ‘Did you want them shop worn?”’ New Y’ork Press.

Most young men when they trav el in the woods of South America have their wits about them —most, but not all. It is related of one that, seeing a parrokeet enter a hole in a tree, he climbed up to cap ture the bird in its nest, as he thought. He put in his hand and felt something soft and flabby. These, he imagined, must be the young ones. He had still sense enough, however, to try to look into tfie nest. So he prodded the hole wider with a stick and then saw a huge boa, its jawß fringed with the feathers of the unfortunate bird. He descended the tree in the twin kling of an eye and did not forget this lesson in bird’s nesting. The Wondrful Baobab Traa. The baobab tree is considered one of the most wonderful of the veg etable kingdom. It appears that nothing can kill this tree; hence it reaches an astonishing age as well as enormous size. The natives make a strong cord from the fibers of the bark; hence the trees are con tinually harked, but without dam age, as they soon put forth new bark. It appears impervious to fire, and even the ax is resisted, as it con tinues to grow in length after it is lying on the ground. Odd Partnership. A strange discovery was made by a Scotch forester recently, that of a nest thirty feet up in a larch tree occupied jointly by a wild duck and a common brown owl. Two eggs were in the nest, one of the duck and one of the owl. The forester had previously noticed both birds flying from the tree. Ayers When the nerves are weak everything goes wrong.
