Some Things Seen and

By T. JULIAN HcRAE.
I T 18 reported that o couple of Ma
con young men rode out on the
Columbue road a few evenings ago,
and in crossing a railroad track they
Haw a train approaching. They became
terribly uneasy about the horse being
frightened. Both of the young men
jumped out of the buggy at the same
time, and one held the horsu'a head,
’while the other held the lines. The
train rolled past, and the horse did not
notice It In tho least. One Mild to the

The mortality reports for the post
several years will convlneo tnyono
that Macon on the score of health will
compare with any other city in tho
United Stall's. We are every day find

a place for residence for the capital

Macon presents great advantages. She
has begun to press forward to even a
brighter career and will occupy the
position to which she Is entitled by
reason of her central location.
A stranger a day or so ago was read
ing a mugaslno in one of the hotel lob-
when he wus approached by a
traveling man. "What are you read
ing?" asked the drummer. The reply
am reading one of the late
msgaslnes."
•eo you are a well-read man,"
remarked tho drummer. "Yes," re
plied the stranger, "I have been taught
from early childhood to read and every
time an opportunity presents Itself X
always do It. ”
"Have you read the book entitled,
•In mack and White?'"
"No."
"Have you read Dickens?"
"No."
"Have you read Sidney Lanier's

"No."
"Have you read today's newspapers?"
"Well, my friend, X see you havn not
read much. Name something that you
have read. The stranger looked out
on the street for a seconcl and then
replied; "X have red hair."
A little girl Just past her fifth year,
while talking about a young man that
frequently visited the house .was ask
ed by her mother, "What Is a beaux?"
The little girl stood silent for a few
minutes end replied, "He is a man that
has not got much sense."

LONDON’S NEW TROUBLE
Bacholor’s Hall and School For Wives Lead Sciologists
to Fear Declination of the Once Prolific Race.
ONDON, July 27.—"Bachelor’s
Hall" is the latest novelty to In
terest } the sociological student,
Mra. Botkin has at last gained her freedom from the California
the was locked up on the charge of cayylnff the death of a rival by
bog of poisoned candy.
and It has its counterpart In the
"School for Wives," the idea for which
originated In the Southwestern Poly
technic at Chelsea. The growing habit
of employing women In various capac
ities here jls alleged to be du$ to that
bane of so many British projects—
Americanism. Before the American
woman *came to entice the sensible
English girl from her beloved pots and
pans* and teach her to be a new wo
man things went along peacefully
enough. True, English girls had to
preside jover gilded gin palaces and
minister to the devices of the lowest
class In the community and there bo
subjected to insults to which no Amer
ican woman would listen, but tho'En
glish are peculiar in some things and
they don’t even know it.
The English bachelor has been hav
ing woes piled up for him for some
time now and It has been discovered
that the majority of the girls, in the
larg* cities, at least, are totally unfit
ted for accepting the responsibility of
wifely duties. The fact that England,
like France, is apt to become a de
cadent nation has relzei upon the
British male with a volume of fores
equal to its sudden discovery.
The women themselves revealed this
monstrous fact by collecting statistics
that proved their sex,, by assuming
what had once bcen'the duties of their
lords and masters, had dlsquallfled
them for fulfilling their own. Not one
English girl In a thousand Is now able
to boll a potato properly or make a
Yorkshire pudding, let alone the fact
that she doe** not know a parlor poker
from the flue of a kitchen stove and
only’knows one way to soothe & shriek
ing baby, viz, laudanum.
The girls will go to work In stores
and offices, they will drive tandeiu,
golf, and even play football, but sel
dom one will allow her mother to show
her the difference between a dish-rag
pen-wiper. This means,
course, that as soon as they are launch
ed Into matrimony, domestic ml;
commences, and the unhappy man. bas
ing his csimatc of the cost of living
on that occurring beneath the pater
nal n*4»f, finds himself soon either
bankrupt or hen-pecked husband, be
cause he Insists upon having house
hold expenses kept down to the limit of
his purse.
The young woman who starts out in
matrimony nowadays, as a rule, un
derstands nothing of the value of com
modities, while cooking and house
keeping generally are as great a mys
tery to her as the .nebular hypotheses
of the binomial theorem. Some kind
friend, or servant. Anally gets through
her pretty head the difference between
a toothpick and a fruit fork and she
tend the School of Wives for an hour
or two once a week and delve Into tho
mysteries of tertiary pie crusts and pro-
tozolc jellies. Accordingly a curricu
lum has been established and a training
school opened where* everything per
taining to domesticulture can be mas
tered. The course will last two years
and the girls will be compelled to eat
the luncheons they cook.
AH this would have been well had
not some ill-disposed male become ac?
qualnted with the secret of the School
for Wives. Then came about that great
social movement which will be de-
rcrlbed In future histories as the Revolt
of Man. Men organized meetings and
discussed their grievances and dangers. •
The craving for the matutinal "cock-
tali’* and the after-dinner "Scotch" now
became obvious—It was to offset the
wife’s dumpllng-made dyspepsia.
The School for Bachelors—not hus
bands, was designed, and Bachelor's
Hall sprang Into brick and mortar.
The Bachelor’s League now comprises
many thousand men, scattered through
out the United Kingdom, who have
pledged themselves to mimgamy.
These men go to the School for Bach
elors, where they are taught to make
beds and breads, fo 'scrub, and cook
all kinds of things, even to the wash
ing of their own clothes. They have
decided to do without wive* as far as
po*rible and enjoy all the privileges
of night keys and trapped champagne
In their bedrooms without exciting
bilious comment from captious spouses.
Stags are all the rage and the absence
of men at dinner parties and dances
Is beginning to alarm London host-
csres. The men nay that the pipe and
the bowl and absolute freedom tare so
overwhelming an offset to marriage
that it la about time the Pasteur In
stitute delivered the great secret of
the manufactured protplnsm which Its,
members have so long been promising'
to give us. King Edward Is said to
be much perplexed overfthe anomalous
situation and to be consulting with his
German cousin Wilhelm as to a rem
edy, fearing that the Boers will event
ually whip the British If babies go out
of fashion here.

Sufferers from this horrible malady
