I saw up at St. Charles the other day a new thing in stock cars, which is as much an improvement over the old kind as the drawing coach is over the emi¬ grant car.

George & Hartnett sole agents for Griffin, Ga Ilov ftenauu arv It Is a well known fact that no or English servant can find a place with her own country people after she lived in an American family. Good vants are rare in every country, and are so rare here that a lady, when gets one, generally turns to spoiling as the only means of keeping her. bad servant is spoiled in the hope of wheedling her into doing better. One mistress who pays the modest sum of $25 a month for her cook says that tho morn¬ ing after she has given a dinner party she presents this autocrat of the dinner table with $1. Another consults tho convenience of her cook always before inviting her guests. Tho demand to go out from one to three times a week is a claim never questioned bnt by the tho most who obdurate of mis¬ tresses, servant asks this here would only have a holiday once a month in England and the privilege of going to church once every Sunday. In France the conditions are the same. In this country there must be trouble until some of the women who ore dSliged to earn a living are willing to become servants and submit to being called by their right name, and not consider that, if they are “helps,” they have equal rights with their mistresses. Then, too, the mis¬ tresses must learn how to treat their ser¬ vants with perfect kindness and still without the familiarity that breeds con¬ tempt. —New York Press. ■ * *»;• "•m . ■- W-.-X;--?.'-*, •' -’K*: Garnet Ledges In Alaska. The extensive garnet ledges at Fort Wrangell are an inexhaustible source of beautiful and ornamental curiosities. The cropping of the ledge is about ten feet wide, Lae, stand standing perpendicularly and run¬ ning northeast and southwest several miles in length; the depth of it no man has ever found out. The rock is of a mica Blate formation, and contains from two to four dozen garnets to the cubic foot. The gems are regular polygons, beautiful in color, and when’ fresh from the mines have a dashing and brilliant luster; but when exposed for a time they become dull and opaque. The crystal varies in dimensions from the size of a pea to that of a hen’s egg, and to the novice are quite fascinating and have the appearance of much value for ornamental and other purposes. The lapidaries, however, have failed to utilize them for any purpose whatever, except as a curio and to demonstrate tho certainty of the unerring law of nature which governs every phenomenon. Every piano of the polygon is of the same form; every angle of tho same degree, and every gem is the equal and like of its fellow. Tho mining and shipment of this rock has become quite a business. It is worth $29 per ton on the wharf at Fort WrangelJ, and is shipped to all parts of the country to fill the cabinets of the wealthy and the collections in public institutions.—Detroit Free Press. ^juui-WEiowr PURE __ Its superior excellence proven in millions of homes for more than a quarter of a cen tury.
