Several gentlemen were discussing the other evening at an uptown cafe the pe¬ culiar appetites that museum freaks have lately displayed for glass. They were wondering if the sharp particles were di¬ gested, and one of the party said that the whole thing was a ‘Take.” “Why,” said the knowing one, “the trick is ancient. I've seen it done hun¬ dreds of times, and can do it myself. You don’t believe it, eh? Well to satisfy those of you who doubt my veracity, I’ll do the trick. ” A very thin glass, of the kind in which seltzer is usually served, was brought, and the amateur freak called for a glass filled with water. While the audience, which had increased in size, was wonder¬ ing what was to come next, the gentle¬ man coolly picked up the thin glass and deliberately bit off a piece, which he chewed with the utmost complacency. When it was reduced to the proper fine¬ ness the performer picked up the glass of water and, to all appearances, washed down the rather unpleasant dish with apparently < much satisfaction as if the particles of glass were delicate bits of turkey and the clear beverage cham¬ pagne. It was noticed, however, that lie did net drain tlie glass. Everybody looked at him in perfect astonishment and some, of his friends, thinking it was an act of bravado wltich might provo fatal, wanted to send for a physician. “Never mind calling a doctor,” said the trickster, laughing heartily as the mystified expressions on ' their faces changed to looks of abject terror; “I’m all right, and now I’ll expose the trick. Of course none of you believe I swallowed the glass, but the question is what be¬ came of it.” He then took up the glass from which he drank, and, putting a handkerchief over another tumbler, poured its con¬ tents into the empty receptacle. Wnen the straining was finished the handker¬ chief held hundreds of fine ]u.rticks of glass. “Now you fellows want to know how the small pieces of glass got ir.io the tumbler, don’t you? “In the first place there *3 little danger in chewing the glass if ona is careful, but it requires a good deal of practice to eject it without being detected. If you watched me close-h you saw that when I put the water to my lips my upper lip was laid over the rim, and before I drank a drop ail the pieces which were under that upper lip were almost at the bottom of the water. To lx* sure one must be careful not to swallow any of the pieces with the water, but that can fie done by closing the teeth. The finer the glass used the less fear there is of its being detected iu the bottom of the tumbler.” Several of the audier.ee tried to do the trick, but gave up in despair when their tongues and gums were our. by the par¬ ticles of glass. It is, however, becoming very popular for blooded young men to bite pieces out of their glasses, and the time may come when a piece of glass for chewing purposes may he included in the bill for refreshments.—New York Even¬ ing Sun. A Novel Necktie. The manager of one of the large Chi¬ cago wholesale houses in the line of gen¬ tlemen’s furnishings, shows a novel necktie which he has just received from Texas. It is a rattlesnake skin, made up in the form of a four-in-hand tie. The point-rattle is set in the center of the outer fold—to serve the purpose of a tie¬ pin. As it glistens and shows all sorts of shifting colors in the •■un light or gaslight it makes a very attractive, if not exactly conventional, .tie. The owner says that it was sent to him as a sample, the sender saying that, as the stock of rattlesnakes in his country is inexhaustible, ho can supply as many of these .strange ties as the Chicago house may want.—Chicago News.

To the Honorable Mayor and Coun cil ol the City of Griffin; Gentlemen—I present you this, my annual report, from Dec. 12th, 1886, to Jan. 1st, 1888.

Respectfully submitted, ^ J. C. Higgins, City Sexton. This is a greater mortality than Griffin has ever shown, 75 or SO be- ing the usual total. As there was epidemic or special sickness last year to cause such an increase, it must arise from a large increase of tion, leaving the percentage of about the same. The Trouble in I he Jonesboro P. 0. Washington Cor. Atlanta Journal The trouble in the Jonesboro post office remains unsettled and no op pointment of a postmaster has beeu made to succeed Mr. Elijah T Haines, the deposed official, although nnmer ously signed petitions in favor of J. L. Waldrop and John Monday have beeu received and placed on file. The differences which led to Mr. Haines’ removal occurrc I in his re ports of the cancellation of postage stamps. It appears that the Jones boro postoffice pays no regular sala ry, but the compensation of the post master is based on the number of stamps cancelled. A commissson or percentage is allowed postoffices of this class fixed by the amount of bus iness they do. When an office is ■suspected a watch is at once set upon it and all letters delivered to it are precisely counted by the mail agents on the railroad or railroads delivering to it and if the office i.self is a dis trihuting offico all post officials re ceiviug from it are enlisted to count and record the mail that may be re ceived from it or originate in it. By this simple process and a compari son of these reports with the reports of the suspected office any defalca tion is readily detected. This watch is sometimes kept up for months be fore an inspector is dispatched to make investigation, and in order that uo error of count may be plefld ed by the suspected officials. It was so in this Jonesboro case. The re ports from the office indicated an unu sua! cancellation. It was placed un der surveillance, and for several months a careful estimate was kept of its business until the evidence was so unmistakable that, the rernov »l followed. In justice to Mr. Haines, who appears to be a peison of good character, it is said that he did not give his personal attention to his duties, and it is charitably believed that the reports sent into the Wash ingtoii office were made up without bis connivance. The amount of his shortage is estimated to be 1600, or about the sum of his yearly compen sation.

From February first to about the 20th will be wet the remainder of the mouth dry. The first half of March will be wet, the latter half fair.

The Ancient Arm of a Kentucky Hunter. Loading a Flint Dock Gun. I will describe the genuine ancient * Kentucky squirrel rifle, sketches of which I have in my possession, made from the best models. The barrel is four feet long and nearly an inch in diameter, while the boro is but little larger than a common round lead pencil; just great enough, in other words, to take, into it a round leaden bullet of about ciio-lenth of an ounce avoirdupois in weight, The stock is of curly maple, elaborately carved out of a single piece of wood, and extends from the semi-circular brass heel plate to the brass half ring of mounting under the fore tip of the barrel. What is called tho “drop,” or bend of tha breech, is very slight as compared with the fashion of the latest guns; indeed, some of the old guns have almost straight stocks and most of them have a grease pot either opening in tlie heel plate or in the left side of the stick itbar that plate. Tlie trigger guard is of brass and fanci¬ fully curved, while the thimbles for the ramrod are placed under tlie barrel stock, in which is a semi-circular lomritudinal groove that becomes a round hole in tho wood of the lower part of tho stock. The lock is the best model of flint and steel mechanism, elaborately carved and perfectly fitted into tho right side of the stock near the lower extremity of the barrel. The trigger is double, the pos¬ terior one setting by a hair spring ar¬ rangement, regulated by an intermediate screw, the forward one at the least touch releasing the hammer that tiears the flint, which in turn strikes open the steel ^>an and drops its spark into the priming In the under part of the stock, just behind tho guard, is a tiny hole into which is thrust a small quill, probably a primary quill of the golden winged woodpecker. Tliia feather is used to put into the “touch- hole’ ’ to prevent the powder from run¬ ning out during the process of loading. The ammunition for this gun is the finest Kentucky powder, leaden bullets molded by hand and some strong, thin white cotton shirting for “patching.” The bullets are carried in a pouch, the pow¬ der in a finely carved horn, and the charge is measured in a boar's tooth charger. To load the gun, put the feather in the touch hole at the pan, pour in a boar's toothful of powdor at the muzzle and then, spreading the [latching cloth over the mouth of tlie bore, lay on a bullet and press it down even with the rim of the barrel, cut of the cloth as close to the lead as jxwsible, and with the ramrod pusli the missile home to its bed on (l»e powder, Put the ramrod back in tho thimbles, Like out tlie feather and fill the pan with powder for priming; close the pan and your rifle is loaded.—Maurice Thompson. The Man Milliners of France. If ladies arc invading the trades and professions which they could not before equal rights were thought of, the men j are avenging themselves. Most of the and Fn . eh heir hatters shop now windows work for vie both with sexes, those j of i v modistes in exhibition of trimmed j hat . smart, neat, stylish, and, in short. ! tempting as they can be. A hatter said j tome: “I wimid not venture to make up flowers aqd flimsy stuffs into hats and • bonnets. A woman's fancy and light fingers are wanted for that. But I don’t fear couq>eting with no matter what milliner when the trimmings are rich and solid. We keep an artist, who has had medals in tlie Salon, to design hats trimmed as you see them.” High art is running into the channels into which it flowed in the Eighteenth cen¬ tury, and w!b -h wen' left dry from the time of the revolution up to a few years ago.
