*" " 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. “I t.on’t see any use in getting blue over it, old man. Him inn 1 tlic only girl in the world," “ I'hat V just what lamblaeabo.it, Think of the chance I have of making the mum kind of u fool of myself again.’ Brooklyn Life.

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.

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.
