Toilet arrangements such as satisfy
the Russian are at his disposal in first

When tiie train-halts for the breakfast

may be seen performing their ablu
tions at the platform tap. They fill a
can like a gardener’s watering pot,
suck through the spout a mouthful of
the water, spit it into the hollowed
palms and then rub their faces. It is
a disgusting process, performed with
out soap or towel, and. though it may
lie amusing to the onlooker, it is not
very cleansing to the operator. Yet
this is the method of ablution adopted
by the poorer Russian on his travels.—

Poultry Show Judges,
The three judges for the big Poultry
Show and Pet Stock Exhibition, which
will be one of many features of tho
second week at the Inter-State Fair m
Atlanta next mouth, have been selected
by the fair management. They are B.
N. Pierce of Indianapolis, lad., Dr.
Stephen T. L-ea of Hodges, S. O., and
F. J, Marshall of Coliege Park, Ga.,
three of the most eminent anthoiiciea
and fanciers in the United States.
Last year the Poultry Snow at the
Inter-State Fair was said to bo the best
ever seen in the South. This year the
premium list has been nearly aouble-i,
third money has been added in all
classes and first prizes made larger.
This step, it is expected, will bring out
E larger and better entry list than at
nny time in the past. Dr. L~a, one of
the judges, states that tho exhibit
should be one of the best ever held in
the United States, owing ro the superb
inducements offered m all classes.
This Poultry Show will run October
14th-19th, inclusive. The fair proper
will begin cn October 9th 2G.h, and one
railroad fare will be offered cn ail rail
roads leading into Atlanta.
Florida Orange Crop.
Tallahassee, Sept. 24.—The orange
crop for the approaching season is con
servatively estimated at between 1,600,-
000 and 1,700,000 boxes, which wiil net
the growers an average of at least $2
per box. Expert opinions hold to the
view that within five years the yield cf
oranges in Florida will bo as large as it
ever was; and as a much greater acre
age is now planted in groves, the crop
will continue to increase in size until it
reaches truly enormous proportions.
Competent judges express the opinion
that the glory of Florida as an oranRe
producing state lies m the near future,
not'in t he past.

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 21.—Some days

poured the soup on the ground and put

tries to reckon with, it is quite another
story.
Venezuela, whose proud boast it is
that Bolivar, Sucre and Flores, the
three greatest fighting generals that
South America has ever produced, were
natives of that country, has at present
an army of 30,000, and as that republic
in time of peace has a standing army
of not more than 3,000, it is presumed
that it is now practically ou a war foot
ing. Should there be a declaration of
war, the 30,000 now under arms could,
it is asserted, be doubled. All male
natives over 1G years of age will be
! drafted into the service. Whether he
j anticipates being confronted some day
■ with the present situation or merely
I prepared himself against a possible
! insurrection is not known, but the fact
I is that President Castro lias in the past
j year purchased in Germany 50,000
| Mauser rifles. Besides these the
Venezuelan government has provided
itself with the most improved French
artillery.
Venezuela’s weak point is her navy.
Seven vessels, none of which is as large
as J. P. Morgan’s steam yacht Corsair,
constitute that branch of her fighting
force. The latest acquisition was
George J. Gould’s yacht Atlanta, which
has been rechristened El Restaurador.
She, like the rest of the fleet, is
equipped with guns of small caliber.
Venezuelans, however, do not all depre
cate this peer showing cn the sea, for
they assert that In a war with Colom
bia the lighting would be mostly on
land, and there they claim to be supe
rior to the Colombians, if not in num
bers, in fighting ability.
This Is what Colombia will have to
face so far as Venezuela gees. But
Nicaragua, Ecuador and Costa Rica
give her much concern. Colombia i
completely surrounded by these hostil
republics. Of the three Nicaragua lias
the largest and best equipped army and
can easily put 20,000 men in the field.
Ecuador can furnish uot more than
10,000 and Costa Rica about the same
number. The total force with which
Colombia will be compelled to cope,
therefore, must be figured close on to
100,000.
Colombia, on the other hand, has two
advantages over her enemies—she pos
sesses a superior navy, and her army
has had the benefit of nearly two years
of active campaigning against the revo
lutionists. But these are outweighed
by the disadvantages—namely, internal
strife, lack of funds and difficulty in
moving her armies because cf the nu
merous great mountain ranges and poor
transportation facilities. The Colom
bian government seems to believe that
in a war with a foreign foe the Liberals
will abandon their rebellion and help
It. This is hardly likely, it is said, as
the Liberals would iu that case be
fighting against the governments that
represent the principles for the estab
lishment of which they are now bat
tling. That political faith goes before
nationality was demonstrated by Gen
eral Rafael Uribe-Uribe, the Colombian
rebel chief, who recently led the Lib
eral forces of Venezuela against the
Conservative Colombian army that in
vaded Venezuela.
In case of war the seat of govern
ment would have to be moved to the
coast, probably to vjartagena, which is
now the center of military operations.
Tiffs step would be absolutely neces
sary, as the telegraph system has been
crippled by the insurgents, who hav£
cut the wires, and the time consumed
in a trip from Barranquilla and Colon
to Bogota is about 1G days. At present
Colombia has in the field about 40,000
troops, who are kept exceedingly busy
by the insurgents. By conscription this
number would be Increased to 80.000.
The Colombian army is well supplied
with Remington rifles. Her navy con
sists of eight vessels, which are of
greater tonnage than these of Venezu
ela. Of these the Cordova, which was
purchased here a few years ago, is the
largest. Her tonnage is 2,400. The
most recent addition to the navy was
James Gordon Bennett’s steam yacht
Namounn. bought in Europe for $100,-
G00. She* is now tho General Pinzon.
While these statistics may not give a
very clear idea as to which country,
Colombia or Venezuela, will come out
victorious, they are sufficient to show
that in the event of n conflict between
them it will be the greatest that has
ever taken place in South America.
Dr. S. Weir Mitchei.l is au

ousness is the characteristic mal

Strange Hiding: Placec,
There are standing at the present day
Elizabethan houses known to contain
hidden chambers. The very positions
of these chambers can be shown, yet
their secrets have remained inviolate
for centuries, the spring that should
serve as the open sesame being undis-
eoverable. Some day the accidental
touch of a gill’s finger may set a col
umn of stone rotating or a panel slid
ing or a door in a picture frame retreat
ing on invisible hinges, and the secret
—if any remain—will be revealed.
The place of mystery in these an
cient granges that served as shelter to
a friend in distress might equally prove
the death of an enemy of the house.
The priest’s hole behind a fireplace was
easily converted into an oven. There
were staircases which the foot of a
friend might press in perfect security.
Another, not instructed bow to tread,
sets his foot apparently on the same
place, the stair yawns open, and at the
end of ike pit is the water. Here is
much romance.—Loudon Chronicle.

Tarpon Jumped In Boat.
Cedar Key, Fla., Sept. 24.— A negro
named Floyd Conyer met with a pecu
liar adventure with a tarpon a few
nights ago. While sailing along quiet
ly, there was a sudden splash iu the
water and some heavy object fell on the
deck, which proved to be a tarpon, be
tween 5 and 6 feet long. After striking
the deck it gave another leap and struck
the sail, which knocked it back upon
the deck, and into the hatchway, where
they succeeded in capturing it. The
negroes were frightened nearly out of
their wits. They thought it was a mer
maid or some horrible sea serpent, and
were almost ready to desert the ship.
ripe Smoking.
There are many pipe smokers who do
not know how to get the best there is
out of their indulgence. The great
point in pipe smoking is to smoke .slow
ly. Nervous smokers smoke too rapidly
and burn their tongues with hot smoke,
besides failing entirely to.get the full
est and best flavor out of the tobacco.
It is all a matter of habit, but slow
smoking is a habit which it is hard
for some people to acquire. In some
cases pipe smokers have tried for years
to check their smoking speed without
success. They began loo late, and tlie
habit of rapid smoking is shaken off
with difficulty when it is once acquired.
Rapid smoking is as bad as rapid
eating—or worse, tt is aiso “bad form.”
Whether it is cigar, pipe or cigarette,
