Some one says Edison is going to
help the parents of America by invent
ing a fspanking machine. It won’tdo.
The slipper can’t be displaced.
In |?ennsylvania the law no longer re
quires testifying persons to kiss the Bi
ble. One of the reasons is the belief
that diease lurks in the promiseuous os
culation of a book.
Now Rutsia and Germany have begun
to make faces at géach other. With
France quarreling with England and
Russia Iwith Germany, the war weather
prophets wi:l be discovering a European
war cloud before long.
“Bells are tolled insome districts of
France,”’ says the Louisville (‘ourier-
Jonrnal, “when frost is threatened. Im
mediately the inhabitants place quanti
t es of tar between the rows of vines.
The tar is lighted and volumes of dense
smnoke arise, thus protecting the vines.”
Governor Clarke, of Arkansas, has
made a public exhibitin of himself by
engaging ina street ficht at the state
capital and drawing a pistol on his ad
versary like a common bully. The spec
tacle of the governor of a great siate ap
pearing in therole of a prisoner in a po
lice court is not edifying.
The use of blood as a curative agent
is .said to be on the increase is Paris,
and, certainly,;it appears that persons
still resort to the abattoires every morn
ing to partake of this nauseous form of
so-called cure. Although French doc
tors do not often prescribe these forms
of treatment, ‘blood baths’ are not in
frequently used, aud certain patent med
icines are sold under the name of ‘*pou
dre de sang,” and other titles.
In the supreme court at Topeka., Kan.,
in the case of the hypnotist, Anderson
Gray, found guilty in the lower court of
murder in the first degree, for having
juduced a man under his influence to
commit murder, the verdict was sus
tained. The man who actually com
mitted the crime, setting up the defense
that he acted upon the hypnotic intlu
ence of Geay, was acqnitted by the jury
and Gray iugicted, tried and convicted.
Governor O'Ferrall, of Virginia, is
guoted as saving, with regard to the
suggestion that the democratic party
nominate a southern man for president
in 1896, that while the south would nat
urally like 'the idea of supplying the
next candidate, she would be content to
have the second place on the ticket. An
other ‘‘equally promnent Virginian'”
agreed with the governor, and added
that Jobn B. Gordon, of Georgia,
or Fitzhuzh Lee would do hon
or to their party and to their country in
the office of vice-president.'
It is just Jpossible that from a legal
point of view his coun‘ry is at present
engaged in war, and that the war has
been going on for years and years. Sec
retary Hoke Smith has asked Secretary
Dan Lamont to advise him whether or
pot the Semiwole war is still on. There
is before the interior department a case
involving lands formerly occupied by
Seminole Indians. It is claimed by one
party to the case that the war has never
heen officially declared closed, hence it
ramains officially open. Secretary Smith
cannot find the official winding up of
the war, and as the proper aljudicatio
of the case depends on that point be has
asked the secretary of war to inform
him on the subject. The_war secrstary
will prooably bring the war t&® an end
at once.
Those three female members of the
Colorado legislature, concerning whose
adherence to parliamentary laws and
usages there was s» mich specalation
not long ago, haye disappointed namer
ous critics who were waiting w th poised
pencils to prove by their bad breaks that
women should not go to the legislature,
They noither wore their hats in the leg
islative hall, nor scold:d the speaker
for nt declaring passed every bill they
favored. They did nt ery once daring
business hours, and no legislation was
promoted by them with the aid of
smiles and arch glances. The quorum
was never broken by their absence, and
the serveant-at-arms was not once call
ed upon to bring them away from a po
ker table to answer a roll call. Indeed,
the record of the legislatiye session is
particularly good.
70 BEGIN THE SURVEY.
=
FIRST BLOOD FOR SENATOR MER
CEX’s SWAMP BILL.
Representatives of the Geological Bureau
Now at Leary. The First Work
to Be along the Chick
asawhatchee, .
mhe first work contemplated by the
bill know as Senator Mercer's ‘‘Swamp
Bill,”” passed at the, last session of the
General Assembly, is now about to be
begun. State Geologist Yeates, who has
been in correspondence and communica
tion with Senator Mercer on the import
ent subject of surveying the swamp
lands of Southwest Georgia, as contem
plated by the provisions of Senator
Mercer’s bill,’has sent a topographer, a
Mr.jWardroper, to this section for the
purpose of prospecting and taking the
necessary Dbearings for beginning a
survey.
The Herald says that Mr. Wardroper !
and an assistant passed through Albany
a few days ago on their way to Leary i
to confer with Senator Mercer, who says
that the most important survey to be
made as a starter will be along the course
of the Chickasawhatchee.
S:nator Mercer’s bill made no appro
priation for either surveying or draining
the swamp lanas of Southwest Georgia,
and the work that is now to begin will
have to be confined to what can be .dene
out of the limited appropriationthathas
been made for the support of the Geo
logical department of the state. With a
survey to demonstrate the practicability
of draining and reclaiming jthousands of
acres jof jrich swamp land, and at the
same time, improving the health of this
entire section of the state, however, it is
entirely within the range jof probability
that the jlegislature can be induced to
make an appropriation for ,the purpose
of carrying on the work.
The importance of the work contem
plated by Senatr Mercer’'s bill can
hardly be overestimated, and yet there
are but comparatively few¥ of our people
who appear to appreciate it. Senator
Mercer deserves great credit for getting
through his “Swamp Bill,”” as the mem
bers of the legislature from the upper
counties dubbed it while 1t was vending,
‘andjif the work Which which he has in
augurated so successfully is kept up it
will accomplish a great deal for the
wampy; e ion of Southwest Georgia.

WOMEN CAN'f TALK.
That Is Mr. Depew Says, They Are Not
Good After I.linner Speakers,
Notwithstanding the many disgaises
in which the feminine after dinner
speaker appears, Chauncey Depew says
she is a “‘failure,’’ and as he sank into
the favorite lounging chair in his den,
Dr. Depew reiterated, ‘‘Yes, a failure.”
~ ‘*And your advice to her is?”’
~ ““Quit the Business.”’
Of course the new woman, who thinks
she is a great success s a companion to
after dinner coffee, will rise tool:ject to
such wholesale condemnation, but who
bas a clearer title to criticise than the
king of after dinner talkers?
Club life produces after dinner talk
ers by the dozen. But none, as yet, be
comes the queen of after dinner speakers.
A majority are too conscious of their
own efforts to reach that distinction.
Almost as many are in too deadly ear
nest over their particular line of work
to heed tbe graces and the lightsome
ness of coffee talk and become popular.
When asked if his judgment was the
result of experience, Mr. Depew said:
““Yes, I have heard women talk at
' Sorosis, at dinners political, charitable,
‘reform dinners, dramatic dinners, din
ners of every conceivable kind, and aft
‘er them all my advice still is, ‘Don’t do
it.” Among themselves they are well
enough, but in a mixed dinner party
they scem out of place.
~ ““They are not in touch with their
audiences ner in accord with the spirit
of the occasion. After dinner speaking
belongs to the hour of gocd fellowship.
A woman doesn’t fit into the surround
ings when seen through ciouds of smoke,
She doesn’t catch the mood of her lis
teners. She iz apt to be a wet blanket,
and to induce sad aud solemn formality
in the roow of light quips and jollity.”

Views of Two Well Known Men on tha
Coming Presidential Campaign.
“If the Republican party declares in
favor of free silver, I will not be a can
didate for president.”’ William McKin
ley, Jr.
These are the words of the foremost
Republican candidate for the nomina
tion, and they were uttered in Thomas
vilie, Ga., a few days since, vnder cir
cumstances that called tor such a dec
laration. —Cincinnati Enqguirer.
The propertions of ' gold and silver
taken for 1,000 years, as long as we
have history upon the matter, remain
practically the same. I‘or a period of
ten years or more one or the ather may
show a slight change, but the ratio ro
mains surprisingly at 15)5 or 14 to 1.
And if gold and silver were interchange
able for so many hundreds of years in
the past it is difficuit to see what has
occurred to prevent chaugeability now,
provided all nations are willing to re
ceive it. It is an invariable law that
whereo there are two circulating medi
nms the least esteemed is driven out.
If the United States should attempt to
carry silver alone, the United States
would be deprived of all her gold and
then would have no more commercial
strength in other countries to carry the
silver that she had taken in exchange
for her gold. It is well to bear in mind
that not to exceed 5 per ceunt of the busi
ness of this country is done with either
silver or gold, all the rest being credit.
The better the quality of the credit of
the commercial nation the less money it
requires to handle its business.”’—J. .J.
Hill, President Great Northern Rail
road, in St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Curious Facts.
The medical statistics of this country
have been studied by Dr. John T. Bil
lings from the racial standpoint. Hede
duces many curious facts: The infan
tile death rate among the blacks is very
high; the race itself is shorter lived
than the white; it is less liable than the
white to malaria, yellow fever and can
cer, but succumbs more readily to tu
berculosis and pneumonia. Irish chil
dren survive infantile diseases, but the
adult death rate is high; tuberculosis,
pneumonia and alcoholism cut them
down. Germans are especially liable
to digestive disorders and cancer. Jews
have a low death rate; they live long;
their diseases are diabetes, locomotcr
ataxia and kindred nervous ailments.—

Chicagoese.
I frequently resent the rich roasts
given Chicago scciety:»y the terrible
Town Topics, but now and then I
am forced to admit that some of its
wild and weird whoppers are not alto
gether unprovoked. At the recent Fel
lowship Ciub ladies’ layout I overheard
one of the officers importune a brilliant
boulevard bean not to be in a hurry to
leave, as Mrs. Alice J. Shaw was about
to appear and whistle. ‘‘ls that so?’
eiaculated the swagger swell. ‘‘Then I'll
stay a bit longer. I knowed her over in
London. ’—Chicago Weekly. ‘
