The extremity of Dreyfus’s misery could not be more forcibly told than by the statement he made the other day that he had just laughed for the first time in five years. We do not often stop lo think of the meaning and importance of laughter, but the mere conception of the state of mind which makes laughter impossible is horrible. ’ Oriental dislike of the trolley sys- tom is manifested in a vigorous style. Since the introduction of trolley cars into Korea several children have been run over and killed iii Seoul, A mob of several hundred piersons burned one car and smashed unotlier.

It is due tb the fad that the managers of the town have not yet acquired clear titles to all the mining ground in the vicinity, and tlioy fear that if the minors are allowed to bring their wives in cotn- plications might arise through taking up of claims by families. . A movement has been started in T"™* 10 br,n * “ bo,,t tha tiou of manual training iu the curri* culutu of the public schools in the State. The matter is in the hands of u Sta'e ooi" uittee of thirty-two mem¬ bers, which has planned for a thor- ough organization iu the State, with the declared object of interesting “all classes and professions iu a goueral educational reform looking to a more practical am oommon-sense system thuu now obtains.” V. W. Grubbs, the Chairman of the committee, says that “a false standard of personal ro- sped ability is largely responsible for present industrial conditions—a standard which uufairly degrades manual luhor and unduly elevates professional and literary callings, causing the adoption of a false edu¬ cational system based upon this un¬ just discrimination. ” It is now possible to travel frem New York to Boston by trolley ears with only one short break in the en¬ tire distance, and, if present plaus do not. miscarry, it will soon be possible to travel in the same way from Phila¬ delphia to Harrisburg, Gettysburg and Baltimore. Already one euu travel all over the eastern section of New Jersey and the western section of Long IslftBiJ by trolley lines, aud it is only a question of a short, time wlieu oue cpn travel from New York to Al¬ bany, Troy and Saratoga by the same means. For that matter, it is only a question oi time when the more thick¬ ly settled parts of the United States will be covered with a network of trolley roads. Under the influence of the trolley system, street cars have become almost as much of a necessity to farmers and other inhabitants of rural districts as they have to resi¬ dents of the larger cities. ■ txf — “T T In view of the recent newspaper comment on some decidedly unsports¬ manlike features iu one of the inter¬ collegiate ball games played iu New York, Mr. E.

James Jackson was his name, but January was what they all called him; why, no¬ body—not even January—knew. If January were to be pitied, lxecer- taiuly did not kuow of it. His life was comparatively comfortable. Iu the summer he loafed aud slept in the open air.. In the winter he did about the same thing, only he slept in stables andball doors. Two nightmares he had: the police aud the Children’s Society. Brass buttons were the emblem of both nightmares, and January hated brass buttons. , January wa8 tbe i eader 0 f a “gang.” That is the proud eminence to which every little wharf-rat aspires. To be a leader of a gang one has to swim better, tight better and excel one’s fel¬ lows iu all other branches of athletics and art, and January so excelled. And above all things, January never “took a dare. ” Lots of boys will tell you they never took one, but there are mighty few who caii say so truthfully. January was the one boy who never had backed out of any task set for him by bis comrades, and so they looked up to him aud thought him the finest leader a gang had ever had. A gang, it should be said, is not the horrible thing the world makes it out to be. It is simply a little clan of boys who stand by each other when there’s a snowball battle going on, aud who treat each other when there are auy pennies in the exohequer. It was a hot afternoon, then, and January and his friends were dress- iug~themselves—or undressing them- selves, rather for a swim. There were about twenty boys iu the party, and a groat overgrown mongrel cur to watch the clothes while the boys were in Pedro was very warm himseif, and would have liked nothing better than a dip iu the water, but a heavy fog lay down over the river aud the beach, and Pedro knew that if he but left the clothes for one instant somebody might creep up in tbe fog aud steal them. So at the word command from January, he threw himself down tlie hot eaud aud put one great paw on top of the little pile of old trousers aud shirts that did duty as clothing for his two-legged friends. All undressed, the boys were about to make a dash for the water, when off iu the fog they heard the tooting of a stoambpat, A few secouds later the strains of a brass band came over tbe water. The boys stopped and listened, They could plainly hear the churning ot the steamboat s paddle-wheels, and the strains of the band, and the laugher of those on board. Pedro, who dulu t 'ike “asm, howled. Wl^ftts dat? asked a very young member Piomtv of ^the said party. one of his elders, and thep whoopmg jjeaoh. and howling, they ran Jhfc Suddeuly a piero- ing shriek came through the fog.

He placed the lit- one on his breast, and looking iuto pretty blue eyes began to pet it ivith the few homely words his uutu- soul suggested to him. A moment something cold touched the side of his face, and turning his head he saw liis dog. “Hello, Pedro,” he chuckled; “look at the kid.

When he came to the sui- face again he was quite a distance from the steamboat, and Pedro was there waiting for him. “Come on, old Pedro,” cried and so they swam back to beach. .• “Well,” said January, as he pro¬ duced the dollar bill and showed it to the admiring gang, “I dassn’t, didn’t jy>> Through the fog came three shrill whistles from the steamboat.

There was a time when aching teeth were be- lieved to be inhabited by devils in durance vile, and all sorts of chavms were used to drive out the trouble- some demons. Even to this day those who suffer the tortures of toothache wonder if the old theory is not cor- rect. A certain Thomas Lupton io 1027 gave the following directions foi tooth extracting: “To draw out a tooth, fill an earthen pot with emets or ants and their eggs, and set the same pot in but embers so long until all be burned into ashes; ahd when any doth ake, which you would draw forth without pain, then take of the same powder, anil touch the tooth therewith, and it will fall out.” It is tQld that Dr. Tuskmake, of Boston, invented au instrument for pulling teeth that lost him all his friends. It was “a combination of the lever, pulley, wheel aud axle, inclined plane, wedge and screw. A child of three years could, by a single turn of the screw, raise stone weighing twenty-three tons, says JoIid Pbcemx. ’that was in tbe days when men wore cumbersome metal plates supporting false teeth iu their mouths. General George Washington was noted for a gold toothplate of this puffed sort, which was rather large and out his lips and cheeks noticeably.— Chi- cago Record. “Scientists,” Photo K r»ph« says Lightning the Philadelphia flashes.

Of course these good old negroes will not wish to go, ®n d »t would be cruel to force them. I remember when the Creeks and Cher- ojeee were forced to go and how some of the old Indians were left behind. I remember old Sawuy on Sawny mountain near Cumming, and how his old wife and four of bis grandchildren were allowed to stay with him. When the old folks died these grandchildren followed the tribe. But, of course, force is not to be used with the ne- groes, and it is not certain that any considerable number will go. Bishop Turner says they will; Booker Wash- ington says they will not. One negro paper i n Atlanta professes to be in favqr of going. The other is opposed to it . Their exodus is yet afar off, for congress will not vote a dollar to it, but if their ballot is eliminated maybe we can get along in peace. Suppose we try it . White primaries should be the wa t c hword in every town aud county, and then w0 can elect legislators and municipal officers who are not afraid o{ the negr0 .

The ladies have complained tiure and again, but this den oau’t be abolished while the negro has a vote, When the trains arrive our ladies can hardly get on or off for the negro brigade. There is a dozen on one of our busiuess streets. As The Constitution said recently in well considered article, we have white primaries, not partisan, but white, to purge the towns of negro in¬ dolence, and negro insolence. They muHt be eliminated from the polls just as they have been in Atlanta. The cteus must be broken up, the sidewalk* kept clear for ladies and the passways to and from the trains unobstructed. Ben Franklin said that idleness was the parent of vice and crime. The young bucks who congregate at this den are either living off of some hard¬ working man or some cook or washer¬ woman, or they are stealing from some¬ body. Every vagrant should be ar¬ rested and put to work or we will soon hear of some outrage and have an- other lynching. These are perilous times. The old devil seems to be un- chained and is going to and fro upon the earth and walking up and down in it. The daily papers are full of crimes. White and black seem de¬ moralized, and we are getting harden¬ ed to the sinful and bloody calendar that every day meets our eyes. When will this thing end? , I started to write a little essay on politeness. The lack of it among our young white men is painfully observ¬ ant. Last week, when the day was hot and the dust was deep, a young man with his best girl dashed by two of our ladies in a buggy and almost stifled them with dust. They had to stop, for they could not see. He made no apology nor said please excuse me, and yet he was from a neighboring city and Polis means a city and polite¬ ness comes from Polis. Not long ago I was coming from Atlanta and a Ma¬ rietta man who sat behind me elevated his dirty shoes to the top of the back of my seat and kept them there within six inches of my head while lie gassed away to his companion until the cars reached his town. I looked daggers at him, but it did no good. I leaned as far away as I i could, and felt like treating him like did a cowboy once in Texas. The cow- boy stuck his big boots and spurs on the bacis of my seat and I deliberatly got up and—went over on the other side. I would have done this tough, ill-mannered rough the same way, but the seats were all full. Young mer can show their breeding anywhere—it? the cars or at church or at the post office while w aiting for the mail to b« opened. A true gentleman will fire and fall back and while waiting for his mail give somebody else a chance to look into their box,but a selfish, ill-bred man won’t. He will stand up close and cover half a dozen boxes and peep through the glass at the postmaster until he gets his own.

Alter a long struggle the boy gave up and bellered his way home. That was the end of all rebellions in that school, and my father’s reputa- tion as a teacher was established. “As polite as a Frenchman” has grown into a proverb. The whole na- tion is polite, men, women and ehil- dreB . It is chiefly artificial, for it is taught in the schools; but it is pleas - ing and seems to be sincere.

Rapidly _ _ Re¬ covering—Judge of Courtmar- tial Reveals Partiality. The third week of the Dreyfus trial at Rennes, France, begau without in¬ cident at 0:30 Monday morning. M. Labori w - as present. He drove to the court jn a carriage and entered the ball at 0:30. The audience greeted him by s anding up and by a general clapping of hands. Maitre Labori walked quite , briskly, bnt holding his left arm close to his side in order not to disturb the wound, He met General Mereier and General Billot in the middle of the courtroom, stopped, chatted and smiled. Labori looked very well. He was given a cushioned arm chair. M«datas*>'La- bori, looking wgll, was also in court. Labori was warmly congratulated by his friends. Captain Dreyfus, on en- tering, smilingly shook hands with Labori. It is said the court will get through with the ninety odd witnesses by the beginning of September, and it is probable that the verdict will be de¬ livered about September 7th. All of the witnesses examined dur¬ ing the day were hostile to Dreyfus, but as none of the evidence w'as fresh but mostly a reiteration of the old statements, the audience followed the depositions with comparatively little interest. The session wound up with a scene, on account of extraordinary conduct of Colonel Jouaust, president of the court, who permitted himself to make an unwarrantable display of partiality. M. Bertullus had been confronted with the last witness, Captain Junck, and General Gonz had defended the latter when Colonel Picquart was asked to be allowed to refute some of Junck’s remarks, Colonel Jouaust made a gesture of impatience and shouted: “V hat, again?” An outburst of loud hissing came from the audience at such a display of unfairness from the president. Judges and gendarmes quickly suppressed the noise, but Colonel Jouaust understood tbe well-merited rebuke administered him, turned red and adjourned the court ten minutes later. KAISER’S CABINET TO RESIGN. Members Hold a Meeting and Reach That Decision-—Emperor William Absent. A special cablegram from Berlin, Germany, states that Monday after¬ noon a cabinet nfeeting was held at the residence of Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial chancellor, and the whole cabinet agreed to resign. The acceptance of the minister’s m- ' ignation is uncertain. Emperor William will return to Ber¬ lin on Wednesday, when, it is reported, he will preside at the cabinet council and decide what steps are to be taken. All kinds of rumors are afloat. One paper asserts that the kaiser has ac¬ cepted the resignation of the whole cabinet. Others are of the opinion that the fall of Dr. Von Miquel will ential the fall of Prince Vou Hohen¬ lohe also, but nothing will be defi¬ nitely known until the emperor ar¬ rives.
