The record tor counting money h
held by George W. Marshall, deputy
in the United States eubtreasury at
New York One day recently $2,000,-
000 in cash was turned over to him to
be counted and he performed the task
in ninety seconds. However, it must
• be ssid that the $2,000,000 was in con*
venient form for counting, consisting
of 200 United States legal tender cer

The efforts of the management of
* the Central railroad to encourage the
development of dairy farming along
its lines are steps in the right direo-*
tion, and will no doubt- be productive
of much benefit. The other railroads
of the state might follow the excellent
example of the Central, to their own
profit as well as that of ,the people in
the sections which they serve. The
residents of the various cities and
towns of Gborgia send out of the state
millions of dollars every year to pay
tor butter, cheese, chickens and eggs.
These commodities ought to be pro
duced at home. It is the Central’s ob
ject to induce the people to produce
them at home. The railroad will re
ceive a return for its publid spirited
‘enterprlse by baying a, larger freight
■ and passenger business. —Savannah
News.
Al the stalo election in, October there
will be balloted, for and elected three
members of the supreme court —a chief
justice and two associate justices. Os
the two latter, one'term is for six years
and the other two years It will be
necessaiy for voters to designate on
.their ballots their preferences for the
two terms, byname; that is, they
must not vole for John Doe and Rich
ard Roe lor associate justices of the
supreme,court, .but for John Doe for
the six years’ tetm and Richard Roe
for the two years’ term, or vice versa.
The chief justiceship is a separate of
fice under the constitution, and will,
therefore, be voted for separately also.
There will be no bunching of three
candidates “for the- supreme court
bench ” Os the associate justiceships,
the long term will be in succession to
Judge Fish, whose term will expire in
December, 1898, and the short - term
will be in succession to Justice Atkin
son, resigned, which seat is'now being
filled by Justice Lewis under appoint
ment by the governor.
Where Prosperity Comes From.
Slalielican Hyde of the department
of agriculture states that the total
value of the country's exports in 1897
exceeded those of 1896 by over $93,-
000,000, and that more than two-thirds
of the increaeexwaa in agricultural pro
ducts. Some have fancied that pros
perity came down from the political
skies, flow we fmw officially that it
comes up oct of the soil.—Philadelphia

s DANCING DOWN DINNERS.
,* - -
Kxnedlont l»y Which Gormandising I*
; Greatly Facilitated.
>One of the most painful facta fn life ts
the apparent tmposslMHty of reconciling
fashion and common sense. Ono may bo
long on style and short on comfort, or he
• may have oomfort to born and give fashion
She ahaka, but there seems to bo no all
•round good thing so one may be swell
•nd comfortable at the same time. You
. must choose between them. There is no
, good reason tor thia. It is an arbitrary
and unnecessary infliction laid on a suffer
' ing world, and one is forced to the oonclu
i cion that nothing short of utter malignity
1 oould have inspired many of the fashions
under which we groan. There is not oven
the excuse of beauty, for .which one might
well endure many pangs of discomfort.
There la nothing artistic in a linen collar
1 so high and stiff it looks like an under
study of a terracotta chimney flue. But
' it is full of suffering and stylo. No one
since the days of Mephistopheles over had
feet built after the architecture of the
pointed toe shoes. There is no beauty in
them—nothing but aches and corns and
fashion. When nature made lovely wom
an, it wrote beauty in every soft curve of
her body, but fashion never rested until it
squeezed and compressed her into the
chape of an hourglass. She was too com
fortable in flowing draperies that fell in
loose grace, and she was girded up in stays
and smothered in frillsand weighted down
with ornaments in the interest of the
theory that style and comfort oould not bo
amalgamated. Such being the case, it
gives great pleasure to notice that a new
fashion has been introduced which happily
combines the very latest wrinkle of fash
ion with the most admirable common
sense.
It is now customary among the smart
set in Now York to have dancing between
the courses of elaborate dinners. The swell
dancing Is varied with cake walks, skirt
dancing and other edifying aids to diges
tion. The possibilities this opens up to
people of epicurean taste are simply limit
less, and it is also beyond praise as a kind
of life saving measure, ns every one at a
long dinner must have some time felt that
the next course would be the death of him.
Then, too, this scores heavily for us as
showing the advancement in refinement
that has been made since the days of the
banquets of Luoullus and other swell din
ner givers of antiquity. When their jaded
appetites gave out, they took a disgusting,
if simple, means of refreshing them, so as
to be able to take a fresh start all over
again. Now, we will simply arise and exe
cute a short but violent dance, and be
ready to do justice to the further triumphs
of the chef. No more dishes served with
sauce piquante or sauce hollandaise, but
With an accompaniment of Virginia reel
or a cake walk or a highland fling and
good digestion will wait on appetite.
Another advantage it offers is the sup
pression of the after dinner orator. Fel
lows like Chauncey Depew will no longer
have a monopoly on a good thing because
they can talk, don’t you know. On the
contrary, young fellows whose brains are
in their heels will bo the bright, particular
stars that people who give fashionable din
ners will seek out. On the whole, this
readjustment of the etiquette of dinner
giving has everything to commend it and
will stand as a monument to tho genius
who devised it.—New Orleans Picayune.
The Bunaway Bnglne.
In cleaning the Are a spark had ignited
the waste on top of the back driving box.
The blaze attracted the attention of my
old friend Pop, who was oiling his engine
and talking with a couple of flrenjen as
she passed. Thinking that the hostler
was taking her out to the coal pockets, ho
' shouted: “Heyl Yer back drlvin box is
afire I'* As no one answered, they all
looked carefully at her and saw that she
was alone. A shout went up, “That en
gine’s runnln away!” The fireman of a
nearby switch engine leaped to the ground
and sprinted after her. In the meantime
old 06, having passed all the switches and
got upon tho main track, was gaining
speed with every revolution of her big
drivers. The fireman touched the back of
her tank with the tips of his outstretched
fingers, and then with a derisive wriggle
of her drawhead she glided away.
He was directly in front of the telegraph
office when he realized that the race was
•lost and rushed into tho office, told the
operator what had happened and advised
him to tell Wilson, eight miles away, to
side track her. Wilson got the message all
right and started on tho run. As he
opened tho door a meteor shot by, and,
glancing up the line, a faint glimpse of
tho back end of a tender with a big yellow
90 on it disappearing round the curve in
a cloud of dust told him she had gone.—
Herbert E. Hamblen, in “Firing a Loco
motive,” in McClure's.
- - Bain and Bravery.
Mr. Frederick Villiers, the well known
war correspondent, tells a characteristic
anecdote of Sir Henry Havelock-Allan.
During the siege of Plevna bo was riding
with a colleague toward headquarters
from a little fight which had taken place
on tho east of Plevna. Both were tired,
and their horses wore jaded with a hard
day’s- work. Bui Sir Henry kept up a
steady trot in spite of the heavy roads.
Presently his comrade’s horse stumbled,
throwing the rider to the ground. The
general drew rein at once and shouted tc
his prostrate colleague: “What are you do
ing there, sir? Great heavens! Get np at
once! Do you hoar, sir? This is simply
disgraceful. Mount at once!" The fallen
man, half stunned, struggled to bls feet.
By this time Sir Henry had caught his
horse and brought it to him. His compan
ion was reeling like a drunken man, and,
not quite certain whether hie neck was
broken, he was mopping bls bleeding head
with his pocket handkerchief. “Great
heavens! And you call yourself an English
man. Mount at once, sir!” shouted Allan.
His colleague instinctively obeyed without
a murmur; but, as bo was reeling a bit,
Sir Henry rode by his side murmuring:
“You are hurt, I know, but for God's sake
don't show it before these Cossacks. We
are Englishmen, and we can’t afford to let
Russians sec that wo feel pain.”—St.
James Gazette.
Germany’s Increasing Population. ’’
The German people, who in 1816 num
bered only 35,000,000, are now more than
45,000,000, and their present rate of in
crease is greater than that of any other
European nation. They add yearly IM to
every 10,000 of their population, while the
United Kingdom adds 101 to the safee
number and France only 26.
Travelers agree that of the wheelwoiqpn
the world over the English woman puts in
the wont appearance. Not one woman
cyclist in 80 in the little Isle looks well
mounted and the fault is all her own.
Two-thirds of the English women ride
with their saddles too low, handle bant too
high and skirts badly cut.
