We call special attention to out clubbing arrangement with the greai southern weekly, the Atlanta Consti tution, which enables us to offer both papers for the remarkably low sum of $1 40 a year. The first duty of even good citizen is to patronize his home paper. He wishes to become thor oughly conversant with his count\ matters, and only through I is liorin paper can he expect to be supplied w ith the current county news, which is ot the closest interest to him. After he has provided himself with his home paper his next consideration of those who are not within east reacn of a first-class daily' newspapei should be to select a first-class week I \ newspaper supplying all the general news ot ihe world, and paying special attention to features which are of par ticular interest to the household ami the farm. Just such a paper is The Weekl\ Constitution, published at Afauta, Ga., and having a circulation of 156,000 copies a week, the largest oi any v. eeklv newspaper published in America. It is essentially a farmc ’* paper and stands at the head of tin weeklv press of this country. I - depart meut alone i worth the subscription price of the paper, while it numbers among it contributors such we 1 known name as Bret Harte, Mark Twain, Joel Chandler Harris, Plunkett, Bi 1 1 Arp, and a ho-t of others, whose rep utations are world wid*\ Its worn n an - child en’- - departments are pre pared with a-pecial view to please thr ottle folks and the women, an * i s news columns literally cover the fa., of the earth. We a:e enabled to offer both pa >t*i> at practically the price of on , and u> wi.l take great pleasuie in forwarding to The Constitution anv names sem us in connection with our clubbing offer at the remarkably low price above given.

This May Sound Odd, but it is Nevsrthe. lest.. True In this eminently progressive age, the education oi no young man, no matter what hi? intended avocation, can be regar ded as fully qualifying him fur success unless he possesses a business training. U here to get that of the most practical churacter most quickly and cheaply is the question. This paper ventures nothing in sa\ ing that investigation will pr ve *be Ga.—Ala. Bnsiuess College of Macon, Ga. to be the very institution. J/any young men in six to ten weeks, at an expense of from S2O to s3u, have recenth finished bookkeeping, telegraphy or shorthand there, and, in spite of th© ahrd times, immediately stepped into positions pay ing from SSO to $75 per month. There is nsually a disposition to wait and begin with the Jew Tear; but if a business education is of any value at all, the quicker it is gotten, the more valuable it i-, and by writing to the principals, Messrs Wyatt & Martin, Afacon, Ga., at once, much better terms can be had that by waiting until later on.

A Profitable Joke. Near Shasta City, Cal., a gang of gold miners were toiling in a gulch when a ragged stranger, evidently ignorant of mining, came along and looked on. The miner near him took out a $5 nugget, and anxiety overcame the ignorant stranger. “Say,” he asked, “where can I go to diggin to find it like that?” The hardy miner stopped his work, and giving the wink to all the boys so that the joke should not lie lost pointed up to the barren rocks where no gold had ever been found. “You see that rough lookm place?” “Yes,” said the new hand. “Well, thar it is rich. Jes’ you stake out a claim an go to work, an when we finish here we’ll come up too.” The new hand thanked the miner, and the boys all grinned their ap preciation of the joke. That after noon a solitary figure was seen pick ing on the rocky hillside, and every time the miners looked up they roar ed with laughter. But the next day the new miner struck a pocket and took out several thousands of dollars in gold. Then he came and thanked the miner who had sent him up there and went down into the valley and bought a farm, while the other miners dotted that same rocky hillside for days without finding a pocket. They agreed that it was a joke, but not exactly of the kind they had intended.—Youth’s Companion. Modern Lamps. The latest reported improvement in lamps is a device intended to obvi ate the objectionable shadow thrown on the ceiling by most regenerative lamps and to overcome some other features which detract from the value of the principle. The difficul ty of the shade thrown upward is met by forming the upper part of the lamp of etched ornamental glass instead of having a metallic dome, as is ordinarily the case. A good illumination is thus obtained with out the loss of any downward light two streams of hot air are supplied to the burners, one being heated by means of the regenerator, which is of cast iron, the other being warmed in its passage through the lamp cas ing. Another point dealt with in this construction is the deposit of carbon on the ceiling, which is usual with such lamps. This is practically re duced to nothing—first, by the small amount of gas burned per hour and the perfect combustion obtained, and, next, by the products of com bustion being emitted from the lamp laterally instead of being pro jected upward toward the ceiling. This arrangement has tbs merit of simplicity, and the effect is very sat isfactory.—New York Sim. A Remedy That Failed. There is a man in Harlem who has a much respected aunt. This aunt is wealthy and eccentric. She came to live with this Harlem resident, and having been reared in the country and having recently come from there she missed the rural hum of insects and the agricultural noises of a country residence. Being anxious to please his rela tive and make her reconciled to city life, this Harlem man hired a num ber of boys to secure crickets for him. He bought 20 cans of crickets and turned them out to pasture in his back yard. For several nights the cheerful chirping of the crickets proved very soothing to the aged aunt. The various cats in the neigh borhood soon became aware of the unusual number of crickets in this back yard. Cats are fond of crick ets, and now the Harlem man has cats and not crickets in his back yard. He says that all the cats in Harlem have made his yard a tryst ing place, and the aunt threatens to move back into the country.—New York Herald. Society In Alaska. Visitors to Sitka pronounce it not a bad thing at all to be a girl in Alaska society, for girls are a long way above par in the social swim. There are card parties and recep tions. There are teas and dinners on the tnm little gunboats, with men to preside at the urn and show how badly even the best of the sex do the things a woman does so gracefully. There are balls in the Russian castle on the hill, where in the old days the Muscovite governors brought their high bred wives and held carnival through the long Alaskan winters. Like the Japanese, in case of com pany, everybody borrows of every body. The governor’s wife is served from her own china at the captain’s dinner, and the lieutenant’s bride may eat from her own wedding spoons at the paymaster’s party, but there is less strife and envy and all uncharitableness than in social cir cles at the great centers of civiliza tion, where everybody is striving to outdo everybody else.—Sitka Letter. A Tramp’s Problem. A tramp having found a hen’s feather in his travels about the city kept it until night, when he careful ly placed it on the pavement in a back alley and slept upon it Awak ing next morning and looking scorn fully upon the bit cf down he exclaimed, “Gee wizz! if one feather is as hard to sleep on as that, what must a whole bedful be!” —Boston Courier.
