Editor Rainey Was Once A Boy- Many a man whose head has "been silvered in the course of time seems to have forgotten that he was once a boy. He rails at the foibles of youth, and holds up his hands in holy horror at their mischievous pranks. Don’t forget the days whhen you robbed bird nests and played truant to lure the finny tribe from their lair. The happy days of boyhood are spent in an endeav or to have sport, and even if the boys do sometimes overstep the bounds of orthodoxy give them for giveness lest in vour attempt to crub them you break the spirit that leads to success in after life. Rec ollect you were once a boy your self. —Dawson News. Macon News : —Fourth of July is almost here, and of course, it will produce its usual crop of acci dents. According to statistics, it would seem that Chicago is a very patrotic city, if the number of cas ualites should be accepted as the -test. In ten years 1,100 persons were killed and 5,593 injured, more -or less seriously, on Independence Day in ten cities. The fire losses reached the snug sum of $5,659,000. The tribute paid by noisy patriotism to the country’s natal day is rath er costly. An exchange: “What has be come of the boy in patches?” Why, bless your soul, he is out on the farm chopping clods 16 hours a day. he will come to town after a while and run the banks and the stores, and be the successful law yers and preachers and physicians. Don’t worry about the boy in pat ches. It’s theslick-lookiug. nicely groomed lad to inquire about. He’s the fellow that’s going to drop though a crack in the sidewalk, out of sight one of these days.—Ex. The United States should take time by the forelock, so to speak, and get rid of the Phillipine Islands while it may be done peaceably and with honor, its presence there as a master is shameless. It is a shame that can be perpetuated only at a great sacrifice of blood and treasure. Safety lies only in the justice of letting the Phillipinos go free.—Sparta Ishmaelite. Macon Telegraph : It is re ported that the New York physic ians are meeting with much encour agement in treating a boy whose brain is only partially developed. What a field will open for the members of the medical profession if they succeed in this direction? Then the poet will be made, not born, and money and brains may be foundinseparable, Mayor J. A. Jones, of Waycross. was in town last Monday, and se cured a half page in the Breeze to advertise his celebrated Hay Baler. Mr. Jones never handles anything of an inferior grade, therefore you may be sure of getting something that will give satisfaction if you buy one of his machines. The space is reserved; the advertise ment will appear next week. The American woman’s foot is the prettiest,’’ said a shoemaker. “It is at once slender and robust and very supple. The instep is high and beautiful. In a word, a perfect foot—charming and service able alike in a pink satin slipper, in a ballroom or in a white, rubber soled shoe on a tennis court, or in a pair of old shoes in the kitchen. Brunswick Journal: “The A. & B. will bring in a large excursion from Douglas early next week. The Douglas band is giving the excur sion and visitors will have three days in the city.” Our friend made a mistake. It was not the Douglas Band this time, but the Douglas band will come to Bruns wick later. Another circumstance has de veloped to relieve the alleged “leaks” in the government’s sta tistical bureau from the charge of being a dry subject. It has been discovered that there is a woman in the case. A woman who buys and furnishes an elegant house on SSO a mouth salary. This grows interesting. When a woman doesn’t have to get a new cook more than once a wees she thinks she is becoming a successful housekeeper. Flowers With Vegetables, You can't eat your cake anil have It too. If you cut flowers all over your grounds, particularly near the house, the place will not look iis best. More over, we none of us have enough cut flowers for house decorations and to give away. If you plan to raise a great many flowers for cutring in beds and borders you are simply inviting back ache and hours of unnecessary work. The cheaper, easy and sensible way is to have a separate place for raising flowers that you want for cutting. Se lect a place that is out of the way, so that the removal of the flower's will not spoil the garden or landscape effect. The vegetable garden is just the place, because you can have long, straight rows and cultivate them easily by horse or wheel hoe. You can trust an ignorant laborer to hoe anything that is in straight lines, but he is the ruin of an informal border.—Garden Maga zine. The Walt* In 1781. I was engaged in looking at these fine people when a gentleman and lady came whirling by and had almost over whelmed me. I could not imagine what they, were about. I had scarcely extri cated myself from the danger with which they threatened me when anoth er and another couple came twisting by in like manner. I found on inquiry that this was a favorite German dance call ed a waltz and is performed in the fol lowing manner: The lady and gentle man stand face to face. The gentleman puts his arm around the lady’s waist and with the other hand he gets firm hold on her arm. You would at first think they were going to wrestle. Thus prepared and the gentleman having got so good a purchase upon the lady, they begin to spin around and around with a velocity which would have made me giddy in half a minute.—“ Twining Pa pers.” I.norincr For Bras*. Make lacquer for brass as follows: Tumeric root, ground flue, one ounce; best dragon’s blood, one-half dram, put into one pint of alcohol. Place it in a moderate heat and shake at intervals for several days. It must then be strained through a linen cloth and put back in the bottle. Now add three ounces of powdered gum shellac; then keep ns before in a warm place for a few days more and shake frequently. When thoroughly dissolved strain it again and keep in a bottle tightly corked. The metal must be perfectly clean and free from dust or grease ami must be heated. The article may either dipped in the lacquer or coated with a brush, taking care not to go over the same place twice nor to leave any spots uncovered. The lacquer will dry in a few seconds. Tile Shilling Face of Moses. All down through the ages a mis take has been perpetuated as to the meaning of the Hebrew word “karan,” “to emit rays like horns.” It is the word used in Exodus xxxlv, 29, to describe the shining face of Moses aft er he had talked with the Lord. The Septuagint translated it into Greek, “his head was horned.” So all through the middle ages and the period of great Italian art the Vulgate had it (whence Michael Angelo and other artists got the idea, Angelo giving to Moses two flamelike locks of hair on the head); the Cranmer Bible and the Douay Catholic English Bible continued the queer error. King James’ version at last got it right, “the skin of Moses’ face shone, and Moses put the veil upon his face,” etc. Coaling the Sun. Coaling the sun is au expression used by physicists to indicate the necessity of renewing the stock of motive power, exactly analogous to coaling a vessel for an ocean journey. Many maintain that this is done by the incessant show ers of meteorites which rain in upon it from celestial space. Thus it is that the sun’s energy is continually kept up and its fires are fed. Atom after atom in the continuous collisions of matter is changed into vapor and adds its quota of energy to the great central storehouse—in fact, “coals the sun.” Climbing: Parnasso.H. In mythology Parnassus, a mountain in central Greece, was sacred to the muses. The Delphian sanctuary of Apollo wa3 on its slope and from be tween its twin summit peaks flowed the fountain Castalia, the waters of which were reputed to impart the vir tue of poetic inspiration. The highest peak, 8,068 fdet, was held sacred to Bacchus and the rest to Apollo and the muses—whence the saying of young po ets “climbing Parnassus.” His Course. Farmer Comrack —Mandy, I got a letter from our boy sayln’ he was get tin’ ready to take a preparatory ‘ses sion. Mandy—A three months’ course, I presume? Farmer Cornrack—No, I think not. He said somethin’ about a nine hole course, twice around.—New York Times. Her Advlee. “Yes, Laura, he said his heart was in my keeping.” “Take my advice, dear, and tell him you are not running a storage ware house for damaged goods.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. — i ■—■ i gaaaMMMBMMMi— U— mmmaammemama a—aam a maimxam sewiniK.
