Then start in, and in a week you will have the correct accent of the boule vards. To speak good French you must pretend to have a bad cold. Nothing is so simple in the good lan guage line as French. You have uot to make a public exhibition of clothing the nostrils with a clothespin. Just elevate the little trap that closes the gap between the nasal cavity and the mouth. Then spout liie names of a few dishes from the menu of a Now York American hotel—always in the cheap est possible language—the language de cuisine, or kitchen French. And in a discussion never forget to add to every assertion or interrogation “uez par!” In pure French this is spelled “n’est ce-pas.” In American it means, ac cording to Dr. Amos Jeffreys of Vir ginia “Ain’t dat so?”—New York Press. Ought to Know How. The animal trainer being sick, his wife reported for duty in his stead. “Have you ever had any experience In this line?" asked the owner of the menagerie, with some doubt. "Not just exactly In this line,” she said, “but my husband manages the beasts all right, doesn’t ho?” “He certainly does." “Well, you ought to see how easy I can manage him.” —London Opinion. “HI say, ’ow long ’nve HI got to wait for -those chops Hi sent to be warmed hover?” “Why, Ah et ’em up, boss. Yo’ tole me to eat ’em.” “You blawsted hldiot, cawn’t you hunderstund llengllsh? Hi said dis tinctly to ’eat ’em up.’[—Judge. Church—Did you ever try any of those “close to nature" methods?

Taylors to Jackson is in a terrible condition, and we people ia this part of the county pav our taxes as cheerfully as any other. Take the washout in front of the old Woodward place, it is a dis grace to Butts County you can hard ly pass over it during the day to say nothing about night. There are also several places near the home of Mr. Gordon Carmichael that will dump a mau out of his buggy. In fact there are holes and high hills all the way to Jackson, and from Mr. Taylor's to Griffiu there is scarcely a hill, no washouts, or even any holes. It our Commissioners would pul down 4 or 5 bills and lill in the wash outs and holes, we would feel like raising our hats to them whenever we come to old Jackson. Remember jou force us to haul our cotton to Griffin, buy our guano, uud other products out of our own Gouty, but we uil are forced to go over the best road. We know Jackson is loosing unlimited amount of (radeon account of this road, and it looks to me like Butts County ought to compete with with Spaulding. We sincerely pray that our commissioners will move the road machines over to that part of the Count) at once. AlanyCitize s. It’s always false econ omy to save money at the expense of personal appearance; good clothes are worth what they cost. The chief thing in bu>- ing is to pay just enough to get the best; and not tjo much.

On returning from Monticello Tom Singley J restated to a number of peo ple that he saw a Wampus, which was the only one in captivity, and that Monticello was the proud poss essor of the animal.

But Tom asserts that the mark of pure breed is miss ing and white Jackson has a skunk she certainly has no wam| us. Juat as He Wat. A Richmond minister not long ago wno asked to perform a marriage cere mony by a young negro couple.

At the appointed time the happy pair arrived, and the ceremony proceeded: “Do you take tills man for bettor or for worse?” the minister asked. For all her shyness the bride spoke up bravely. “No, sah: Ah dou’t." she said. “All’ll take him Jest like be Is. If he was ter get any better I's afraid he'd die. nn' if lie was ter get any wuss Ah’d kill him myself!”—Harper's Weekly. The Tramp’* One Request.

Nineteen Hour Day*. "Our hours,” said a nature student, “are nothing to the birds'. Why, some birds work in the summer nineteen hours a day. Imlefntlgnbly they clear the crops of Insects. The thrush got® up at 2:30 every summer morning. Ha rolls up ills sleeves and fulls to work nt once. And lie never stops till 9:30 at ulght. A clean nineteen hours.

Trouessnrt of the’ Paris Museum of Natural History, la n lecture on animal boat, remarked that the dog. whose resplrutlons In re pose number only twenty-five or thirty, per minute, may In running acquire ai rnto of respiration as high us 850 peE. minute. The effect of tills acceleration favors the dissipation of animal beat by evaporation from the pulmonary, vesicles. The dog perspires very little or not at all by the skin, pulmonary taking the plnco of cutaneous trans piration. It is this fact which enable*; the dog to pursue Its game so ion® and persistently. Animals of the cat! family, on the other hand, do not pos- 1 sess this peculiarity, and for that reason tigers, panthers and lions lie In wait for tbelr prey, but do not pur sue It over long distances. The bird possesses pulmonary transpiration In a very high degree.
