Reflections of a Bachelor- Love with women, says a writer in the New York Press, is like poker with a tcan—he does most of bis winning while be is learning it. Women know more about love than they do about loving ; men know more about loving than they do about love. Married men are rare whose pride is so strong that they can’t bear to think they might have been refused when they proposed. Every other woman you meet has either a missionary scheme that she is interested in or else a kitten that she wants you to take care of. There is no surer way for a man to make a girl think she has got to have another man than for him to make her think be thinks be has got to have her. That Joyful Peeling With the exilarating sense of renewed health and strength and internal cleanli ness, which follows the use of Syrup of Figs is unknown to the few who have not progressed beyond the old time medicines and the cheap substitutes sometimes offer ed bat never accepted by the well-inform ed. Mr. H. A. Pass, Bowman, Ga., writes: “One of my children was very delicate and we despaired of raising it. For months my wife and I could hardly get a night’s rest until we began the use of Pitts' Car __ minative. We found great relief from the * first bottle." Pitts’ Carminative acts promptly and cures permanently. It is pleasant to the taste, and children take it without coaxing. It is free Yom injurious drugs and chemicals. tq ’’V Constipation Forever.

CASTORIA. Bears ths The Kind You Haw Always Bought Signature of ' A Deadlock Probable- The peace commissi on bad its first formal meeting yesterday. It was the beginning of what promises to be a long series of meetings, lasting proba bly through tbe winter. Tbe opinion is expressed quite freely in Paris that the Spanish comfciseionere are loaded with impracticable instructions—in structions which indicate that tbe Spanish government does not realise its helpless condition—and a deadlock point will soon be reached. We still bold to the opinion that our government would have been sav ed a vast amount of trouble if the president, when he drafted the proto col, had stated exactly what we intend to demand in respect to the Philip pines and Cuba. Spain would have accepted whatever the president de manded. She could not well have done otherwise. Now she is hoping to be more suc cessful in diplomacy than she was in war. It is said that at the breakfast given the commissioners by M. Del casse, the Spanish commissioners kept saying that Spain was very poor. Their purpose seemed to be to open the way for a demand that either Cuba or the United States should become responsible lor the part of the debt of Cuba that was contracted prior to the beginning of the last insurrection. It is said also that they are in structed to give up nothing in the Philippines except a coaling station, and to demand for Spain special com mercial privileges in Cuba and Porto Rico; and also in the Philippines if it should turn out that those islands have to be given up. Another ins struction is said to be that if the Uni ted States insists on having the Island of Luzon, Spain shall have the privi lege of selling the other islands to the highest bidder. The thing for the American com missioners to do is to state to the Spanish commissioners exactly what the United States intend the treaty shall contain, and give them a reaso nable time to accept or reject the terms offered. If a positive position is not taken at the outset negociations may drag along until new complica tions arise—complications that may make a demonstration of foroe neces sary before a settlement can be effect ed.—Savarnab News. .—— State op Ono, City of Toledo, 1 u Lucas County. f Frank J.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 5, 1818. Destructive Work of Lightmt*. The weather bnreau has lately been looked into and gathering figures upon tbe destructive work of lightning, and tbe data it has made public io calcula* ted to reassure everybody except the lightning rod agent. Last year there were 362 persons killed by lightning in the United Stales, being an increase of 21 over the year previous The fluctuations of tbe death list from thia cause are very slight. Running back over a number of years, it has been found that the number of deaths for. any three years will foot up about 1,000, making the average per year 133|. Tbis would indicate that’ there is only one chance in 190,000 of being killed by lightning, in a population of tbe sias of that of tbe United Blates Thia percentage, it is said, is much smaller than tbe probabilities of being kicked to death by a horse or a mule; and yet people are much more afraid of lightning than they are of a horse’s heels. Taking ten year periods, it has been foucd that tbe destruction of property by lightning io the United States dur ing periods ol that length averages about 700 dwellings, 2,500 barns and 110 churches, with a total ol 4,500 fires and a loss of $16,000,000 This would make the annual average loaaes amount to 33 lives, 70 dwellings, 250 barns and 11 churches having a prop erty value of $1,600,000. And this av erage baa been found to work out pretty evenly year alter year. Light ning may be considered very erratic in its movements; there is no telling where it is going to strike; but it does not fail to strike somewhere and get in its work pretty thoroughly. 8till ( when it is considered that it has some 70,000,000 of people, and nearly 3,000- 000 square miles of territory to operate In and upon, it may be seen that the individual has a reasonable hope of escaping on the general average. About one person out of three struck by lightning dies, the other two in most cases recovering fully. Many lives are probably lost because proper efforts towards resuscitation are not made after a lightning stroke. A stroke may have the effect of stunning a person and suspending animation. Tbe victim may appear to be dead, but artificial respiration and stimulat ed circulation ol the blood may have tbe effect of reviving him. Every effort to revive the victim of a lightning stroke should be made, and continued for an boor or more. As in cases of drowning, the energy of the workers may be rewarded, even after two hours wo -k, by a rekindling of the apparent ly extinguished spark of life.—Savan rih News. Beats the Klondike- Mr. A. C. Thomas, of Marysville, Tex., has found a more valuable dis covery than has yet been made in tbe Klondike.

The American Method- A very good story concerning one of our troops in Manila Is told by an English naval officer, who was an eye witness to the oecorrencr. A few days after American troops bad occupied the city, I was ashore taking a look at the city and American soldiers. The city was quite crowded with American and Spanish soldiers both, and they seemed to be on the friendliest terms. The Spanish officers were walking tbe streets with their side arms, as they bad been allowed to retain them by the terms of surrender. It would have been hard to tell who were in possession of the town bad it not been for the American sentinels who were, pacing the. streets. Just as I was crossing one ol the numerous bridges across the Pasig river, I saw a native Filipino spit in the face of a Spanish officer, and then run to tbe American who was guarding tbe bridge demanding bis protection. I -stopped to see the thing out, as I was rather curious to see what tbe American sol dier would do. It was some time before the Filipino could make himself understood, and the sentry took some time to catch on to what had been done, but you oan imagine my surprise when he handed his gun to tbe Spanish officer and caught the native by the nape of the neckband the asst of bia Irouaers and plt&ed him off thr-bridge into the Paaig river. Then he calmly took bis gun from the Spanish officer and be gan pacing the beat as if nothing bad happened. I went my way, thinking tbe American soldier may not be as military as bis brother of Europe, but be is made of tbe right staff.
