Two great enemies—Hood’s Ssrstpariiia utterly de nd impure blood. The latter is eated by the peculiar med icine. THE GEORGIA DELEGATION, c liuaicial < ircuautaaees of t Congressinan. The richest Georgian in the house delegation is Air. Candler, whose pile is estimated at $100,000. Twenty years ago be was quite poor and taught school at Forsyth, then at Griffia and later on at Jonesboro. As a school teacher he was popular, and some of us who are associated with him to-day have felt tbe smart of bis birch an at odd times received at his bands our red and blue tickets for proficiency. When the Air Line railway penetrated to Gainesville Mr. Candler followed it and made bis first money in the Inmber trade, Hi» real estate in Gainesville is very val uabie at this time. Mr. Blount ranks next to Mr. Candler in point of wealth. He has rich farming interests in the county of Jones, and some equally valuable real estate in the city of Macon, and besides he is accredited with more or less hard cash. He is a man of eco nomical habits, and his salary sup j ports him comfortably. i Judge Stewart is neither rich nor poor. He has farming lands about j Griffin, and real estate in that thrifty ; town. At a rough guess I would ! ?aT he ig WQrth *30,000. .Mr. ..

Shoemaking, shoe mending and shoe selling are distinct branches of business in China. Chinese shoes exhibit great variety of shape. Except in the hob nailed shoe for wet weather, there is little leather used—the materials being principally Children's calico, silk, satin, velvet and felt. summer shoes are made of fine open rush work, with bright lin ing. Ladies' shoes are made and mended by their wearers. From childhood the girls of the upper classes have their feet tightly bound, and they are thus, at the cost of years of suffering, enabled to wear shoes about three inches long. The Chinese cobbler goes from house to house, and announces his presence with a pecu¬ liar rattle.—Philadelphia Times. Something About “Zante Currant*.” The word currant is said to be a cor¬ ruption of Corinth, a city from which once came all the Greek currants. The currants, commonly called zante, are really raisins, produced from a grape that grows no larger than peas, like the American wild or fox grapes, and hangs in bunches only three inches long. These grapes are dried in the sun, and then stored in bulk, where the sugar that exudes from them makes them into masses so compact that they bare to be dug apart by force when wanted. They are prepared Y#d for shipment by being put into casks packed into a solid mass by being trodden by the feet of the na¬ tives.—New York Sun. Duration of Infection Stages. The duration of the infection stages of various diseases is thus giv'ii by Dr. T. F. Pearse, an English physician. Measles from the second day of tbe disease, for three weeks; smallpox from the first day, for four weeks; scarlet fever from the fourth day. for seven weeks; mumps from the second day. for three weeks; diphtheria from the first day, for three weeks. The incubation periods, or in¬ tervals occurring between exposure to infection and the first symptoms, are as follows: Whooping cough., fourteen days; mumps, eighteen days; measles, ten days; smallpox, twelve days; scarlet fever, three days: diphtheria, fourteen days.— Herald of Health. Made Her Feel at Home. A lady from Nebraska was the guest of a Pittsburg family. .Vs the thermometer only touched zero once during the winter the fair stranger would have been home¬ sick but for the thoughtfulness of her host. By an ingenious arrangement a powerful fan drove snow dust in her face every time she opened the front door. The snow was ban kid against the windows of her room and her meals let down the chimney with a string. Another device imitated the roar of a blizzard, and so soothed her to gentle slumber—wherein she dreamed of her native state. These little attentions deeply touched the fair guest.—Pittsburg Bulletin. Florida’* Opium Industry. Florida promises to become a large producer of opium. The poppy grows there very readily, and larg* r than any¬ where else in the United States. Sixteen plants will produce an ounc of opium, and an acre-iioul 1 give a profit of $1,- 000..
