*" " Deadheads."
Origin ot
Very few of our readers are probohly
tann of the origin of the word "dead-
head," which Is so frequently used In
connection w.th theatrical representa-
tlons. It is stated to be as follows:
Many years ago, a . the time of , , urn-
ptkew, the principal avenue of a town
passed dose to the entrance of a ro.i 1
leading to the cemetery. Ah this cem¬
etery had been laid out some time pre¬
vious to the construction of the road it
was arranged that all funeral proces¬
sions should be allowed to pass alont
the latter free of toll. One day, as a
■well-known physician, who wii driv¬
ing along tills road, stopped to pay 1 i!h
toll, he observed to the keeper, “Ooa-
sldering the benevolent character <d
our profession, 1 think you ought to
let s pass free of charge." "No, no,
doctor," said tli gate-keeper, "we
can't nfford that, you Bend too many
rieadhendH through ns It la.” Tho
story traveled around the country, and
the word "deadhead" was eventually
applied to those who obtained free ad¬
mission to the theatre.

over it, old man. Him inn 1 tlic only

I have of making the mum kind of u
fool of myself again.’ Brooklyn Life.

Tho lthodo Island Agricultural
College has made a new departure iu
its work of odneation that deserves
imitation by other institutions of that
character. Its faculty has established
a special department for instruction
in tho theory and practice of road-
making. The word curriculum is ety-
mologicolly applicable to tho which pro¬
posed course of instruction,
covers two years, and tho announce¬
ment of tho details is interesting.
The plan is about to be put into op¬
eration after consultation with Gen-
oral Hoy Stone, tho road expert of tho
States bopartnient of euthusias- Agricnl-
lure, and its advocates are
tio iu their predictions that it will
bring intelligent industry to bear in
improving tho highways and byways
of tho tidy lilllo commonwealth.
It is required that graduates from

ago all the machinery used in scientific

Tho opportunities for instruction in
building different kinds of roads af¬
forded occasionally at fairs and iusti-
lutes, and by sample sections that
havo been laid under Government
auspices, have been very valuable,
and have aroused the people somewhat
to a realization of tho importance of
regular instruction on this subject,
K ' Worcester (Mass.) Gazette sug-
ji'est.-. that it won Id be well if the State
spe.it n portion of the enormous sum
appropriated annually for the highway
system in holding institutes of iustvuc-
tion for highway supervisors, eouimis-
sioiiers, selectmen, and all others who
havo to do with road-building. It
thinks the trouble with tho highway
builder usually is that ho does not
consider his business a profession,
aud needs to learn from the experience
others, "Bv establishing a school
for instnteti,m in road-building, the
state could do a greater service to the

a school would cost in Building mac-
ttdam roads through the country."

IIonto Flesh on a Delicacy. 7 .
Tho ancients considered horse meat
as a delicious food and offered it to
their guests as a mark of honor,
Pliny says that the ancients killed
their horses and ate their flesh raw.
Tho Sarmations, when hungry, never
hesitated to out a vein of tho animal
on which they wero riding, drink his
blood aud then bind tho wound to
save tho precious fluid. An embassy
sent by the King .of Franco on a
mission to the Khau of Tartary ate
deliciously smoked horse sides at his
excellency's table. While horse flesh
was eaten generally among Germans
until the days of Charlemagne, it was
regarded with aversion by tho early
Christians. At that tiino there was a
crusade against this meat because of
being “unclean, nnwholcsomo aud un-
fit to eat.” Tho present revival of the
use of horse ilesh concerning which
tho French papers havo had so lunch
to say, is tho result of a movement
among prominent men, tho principal
object of which is to add to the food
resources of the world.

State School Commissioner Glenn
is busy with tho blanks for the school
census, work on which is to begin as
soon as the stationery can be printed
and distributed to tho county school
commissioners. Tho commissioner pro-
poses to push the work so that the
enumeration iu all tho counties will
be complete and tabulated by the first
of May. By the enumeration of 1893
the school population of Georgia was
(501,000. Under the law a new census
has to Be taken every five years. There
is much interest in the school censuses
because they are the only counts be-
tw een decades to show the growth of
population. The number of children
of school age bears an almost uniform
relation to the total population, and
closely indicates the iuerease in the
number of inhabitants. Commissioner
Glenn expects a big increase, approx¬
imating 100,000, and in this he is not
guessing, for the yearly reports of en¬
rollment and actual attendance on the
common schools have shown a remark¬
ably progressive increase.

INNOCENT INDIAN BURNED?
One Victim of Mol> In Inrlinn Territory
ID-ported Not Guilty.
A dispatch from Earlboro, I. T.,
says: Excitement is still intense here
over the recent burning at the stake of
two Seminole Indians and the subse¬
quent fear of an Indian uprising. Pub¬
lic sentiment has favored the lynchers.
At Wewoka, the capital of the Sem¬
inole Nation, the sympathy is all the
other way, for it is believed that the
lynchers tortured and killed at least
one innocent man.
United States Commissioner Walter
Jones is holding court at Wewoka and
tho deputies of the court are busy is¬
suing subpoenaes and warrants in an
endeavor to bring the lynchers to jus¬
tice. As no attempt was made by the
lynchers to hide their identity, it is
probable that the lynchers will be ar¬
rested by the United States authori¬
ties. They can only Be tried on the
charge of kidnaping and taking the
murderers By force from the Seminole
Nation. The killing of the Indians
comes under Oklahoma jurisdiction.
