the Post Office at Jackson,
Ga., under the act of Con
gress of March 3, 1879.
Texas has &clvtd In astrenuouß wav
the problem of killing monopolist
and trusts. Under the new law the
Belling of goods manufactured by a
trust is deemed a felouy, and upon
conviction the offender is subject to
imprisonment for two to ten years in
the penitentiary.
The bedbug has been scientifically
investigated by the Department of
Agriculture and the reassuring infor
mation is given that an adultfued on

hours. So if you know when he i<
going to want his dinner, you may

A Pittsburg millionair has establish
ed a chicken farm on a tract of nine
acres in the residence district of that
City, his purposeibeing to provide his
family with fresh eggß and tender
brollerß. A* the land is valued at
$450,000, this would seem to be a rat h
er extravagant outlay for eggs, even
for Tittaburg. It is better, however
for these millionaire to raise poultry
than such crops of scandals as they
have been turning out and may be
hailed as a sign of reform.
Rather Humiliating.
It is a hard pill for a man to have
to swallow. We mean when lie has
run rough shod over those who did
not agree with him, and had things
his own way until he has come to the
conclusion tliHt every thing in s ght
is his persontl property. Its a hard
pill for him to have to acknowledge
himself beaten and go to his enemy
for help. It’s a hara dose to take
but somebody will gulp it down just
you watch. And then theatinoe
phers will clear up and beautiful pun
sliine will cheer the hearts of our peo
ple.

Envy.
“Think of the patient, uncomplaining
industry of the busy bee,” said the
man who makes perfunctory efforts to
be cheerful.
“The busy bee,” replied the business
man, “bus no occasion to complain.
He Is one of the few manufacturers
who are not being bothered constantly
by the tariff or the pure food laws.”—

Science and Plumbago.
riutnbago, popularly black lead, sci
entifically graphite, got Us name, says
the Ironmonger, from the assumption
that It contained lead, and indeed cer
tain lend ores aud oxides have been at
times called plumbago, but Enkol found
in 151>7 that what we now call graphite
yielded no lead, and he called It sterile
plumbago. Seheele tu ITS!) proved that
It was an nllotropic form of carbon.
Touched a Sc. o Spot.
“Sorry, sir,” telephoned the butcher,
“but we are just out of sirloin. Why
don't your wife order you a round7*'
“W-whuts that?” exploded Harker
at the other end of the line.
“I say, why don't yonr wife order
you a round 7”
“Why don’t my wife order me
aro.iad? Great Caesar, man, that is
nil she does—order me aiound from
morning until night. Tf you were
aiearer I’d”—
But the startled butcher hung up
Ibe receiver and fled.—Chicago News.
Indestructibility of Matter.
It is generally understood that the
founder of the doctrine of the con
servation of matter, which asserts
that, all appearances to the contrary
notwithstanding, In all chemical
changes my matter is ever loot or an
nihilated. was the French chemist
philosopher Lava Is! er, who was born
lu 1743 and guillotined by the revo
lutionists in 1794.—New York Ameri
can.
Eskimos’ Appvtitea.
The Eskimos have enormous appe
tites. An arctic explorer relates that
be sow a boy cut ten pounds of solid
food and drink a gallon and a half of
liquid w ith much gusto.
This same explorer observed an adult
eat ten pounds of meat and two cau
dles at a meal.
Blr P. Phillips tells how a lad of
seventeen years ate twenty-four
pounds of beef In twenty-four hours.
“Water of Life/*
Distilled spirits came into use in
London in 1450 and had to be prohib
ited in 1494. Michael Savonarola pro
duced a treatise on the making of “wa
ter of life" in the fifteenth century
which became a standard authority on
that subject nnd was followed by the
work of Matthioli of Siena. These
books guve an impetus to brandy mak
ing in Italy, whence the trade extend
ed to France.—Loudon Graphic.
A Base Impostor.
“The meanest fiend I ever knew,”
said a member of the Century club,
“was a fellow who used to belong to
this club. He used to bore us for hours
telling of the smart sayings of his chil
dren. It was something fierce. Finally
be left town, and we discovered that*
he had no children. He was an old
bachelor. He’d been springing that
line of stuff for years just to watch us
writhe!”—Cleveland Leader.^
Bank of England Clarks.
It is said that a long time back the
Bunk of England discovered that math
ematical errors of the clerks were at a
minimum in the early morning hours,
but progressively increased as fatigue
occurred. The worst time was in the
late afternoon, and there was so much
money lost, due to errors at that time,
tbat as a matter of economy the clerks
were forbidden to work after 8 o’clock.
—Pearson’s.
A Matter of Buainooa.
Bishop Potter was once staying with
a friend in a country house upon the
riudson. On Sunday morning he found
a small boy curled up In a big chair
deeply Interested In a book.
“Are you going to church, Tom?” the
bishop asked.
“No,” he replied.
“Why, I am,” the bishop said.
“Huh!" the boy returned. “That’s
your Job.”
Haydn.
The natural life of Haydn wns from
1752 to 1800. His first musical per
formance of note wns at the age of
twenty, aud from that time until ills
death his industry was practically in
cessant. Ills artistic life thus cov
ered a period of fifty-seven years. His
works comprise 125 symphonies, six
teen masses, two great oratorios and
almost numberless concertos, duets,
trk-s, quartets aad quintets.
Self Winding Watches.
“Watchmaking Is no longer what It
used to be.” said a collector. “Where
will you find today artists making and
selling readily watches worth $2,500
apiece? Brequet was the greatest
watchmaker the world has ever seen.
He was a Swiss, but he lived in
France. The watch collector who
hasn’t a Brequet timepiece has a sad
ly Incomplete collection. Brequet
watches were the acme of beauty, of
originality and of accuracy. One
played a tune every hour, another had
on its dial little figures that danced, a
third was a self winder. They were
very ingenious, those self winding
watches. They worked on the pedom
eter principle. The maWon of the
body In walking kept them wound. I
have a Brequet self winder, and some
times, out of curiosity, I carry* it for a
week. My stride winds it, k never
runs down, und it keeps, after all these
years, fairly good time.”—New York
Press.
The Address on the Letter.
“It is uot spelling alone that has
been smitten by the hand of the de
stroyer,” lamented the postman. ‘Tuuc
tuntion has also gone by the board.
When I tirst K'gan to handle United
States mail ten years ago the dire*
tlons on envelopes were punctuated
according to schoolbook rules. Abbre
viations were finished off with a pe
riod. names were followed by a comma,
and so so. Now the envelope that is
properly punctuated is a rarity. Some
times, just out of curiosity, I take time
to look carefully through a bunch of
letters. Out of. say, twenty, more than
half will be entirely destitute of punc
tuation marks. In the few cases where
an attempt has been made to punctu
ate hysterical dashes take the place
of the i*orio<Js and commas that once
prevailed.”—New York Globe.

Teaching the Parrot.
Owners of these interesting birds
must remember that if they wish them
to talk well the best time to teach
them is in the evening with the cage
covered over and placed in a dark room
and the teacher enunciating the words
slowly and distinctly aud persistently.
The natives of India consider that a
slight operation upon the bird’s tongue
is necessary before it will speak easily.
