Ouc of the smallest hat not the least of all ibo little pruotices oi little minded men is to go to n neighbor aud borrow his paper. H you, frequent offender, want to read the news, yon ought to pay for it. Don’t you think you ought to be ashamed of yourself to try to aave ons and six-tenths cents a day by sponging on somebody else who pays for his news like a man. Yon go to the theatre an'l see a play. You pay seventy five cents or a dollar for the pleasure. But you enjoy ihe daily newspaper ju*t as much, and you only pay for this one aud six- tenths eents a copy. You would b& ashamed, oh, yes, you would b* asliam ed to dodge under the aria of a triend and sneak into the theatre on his ticket. But you don’t mind borrowing yonr friend's or neighbor’s paper and cheat iug the editor out of the just recoin peuso for his labor. If the honest, intel ligent citizens of Griffin would not allow then selves to be beat—dead beat—out of their newspapers by persons who are too stingy to buy their own news, they would do themselves great credit, save themselves mueh inconvenience, and also keep newspaper men from being sniudled out of the pries of their labor. Do you know anybody who bows well? The average man raises his hat iu the stiffest, most stilted manner, or else does it in such a hurry and giins so dur ing the opperation that the looker-on cannot but wonder if anything has sud denly affected the muscles of his face. The dude lifts his hat about two inches from his head, replaces it with a ges ture that suggests his being wound np like the dolls in the shops and only be ing privileged to reach a certain height. The average woman nods—she usually looks sulky though she may not feel so. This m the result of forcing herself dot er to look pleased on the street because of the quietness with which some man may capture the smile and claim it for his own. Another type of woman may meet the man she adores and give him the most ooldly indifferent bend of ths head—a something which proffers rscog nitioa, uot approbation. She does not like the absolutely freezing bow, whish is the special property of the chaper one*, but the one bespeaking iudiffsr ence always piques a man, because the ehauces are he has just been telling .some companion that “.here comes a churning woman whom I know very well,” and this very slight ned seems to give him the goeby and to make his statement appear what his Eogli-h cons in would call a tarradiddle, Water cources and mnrskos are tha abodes of fever and ague; Laxador lias proved a most valuable preventive of malaria and an efficacious remedy in the treatment of mala rial diseases.
