KEEPINC WARM.
Various Queer Contrivances In Oriental
Countries.
A common error is that Orientals In¬
habit lands of eternal summer and
dress the year through in flowing silks
and wondrous mnsllns. Many of them
do enjoy this kind of existence. Those
for example, In southern China and on
tho great plain of Hindustan, hut at
least a hundred millions live In a ter¬
ritory as cold as this elty, nnd at least
fifty millions in a land whose condl-
tlons are similar to those of Canada.
Centurles of civilization have taught
them numberless expedients for seem-
lng comfort and pleasure, in spit a of
tho Know ami left which surround them
in the winu-r season. Many of these
are known and utilized by the wi-Ktern
world, mt the most are unknown, or,

IMPORTANT MEASURES ACTED UPON

The anti-barroom bill was reconsid-
crod in the house Wednesday by a
vote of (II to 60. Several members
who voted against it Tuesday w ere ab-
sent and the motion to reconsider was
carried by a bare majority of one.
Th ® bill to atta,dl » penalty to tho
failure of telegraph companies to
promptly transmit and deliver all
messages was a special order for the
day, but went over until Tuesday.
Thfl majority report of the Drown in-
vostigatmg committee was presented
to thn h 0 ' 1 * 0 - [t Is u KtroI1 F endorse-
ment of administration of tbe state
university and in that way diametri-
rally opposed to tbe report and submitted
by Hon. Popo Drown two other
members of the committee.
The afternoon session was devoted
exclusively to tho Jefferson county
election contest, which resulted in the
seating of James Htapleton and J. H.
I’olliill. The populist memhers who
lose their seats are R. A. Slater and
R. ]>. Wrenn. The fight was strong
while it lasted. A number of speeches
were made and a minority report in
favor of the populist contestants was
offered. The vote to unseat the poptt-
Jifl , H 74 to 38.
^ strong fight was made for adjourn-
ment over to Friday, but it was unsuc
cessful
The bill of Henator If. \V. Hopkins,
providing for the election of superior
court judges and solicitors by the peo-
pi,., was the special order of the .senate
Wednesday, ami was taken up imme-
finely after the reading of tbe journal.
The bill provides that at the first gen-
oral election in January that the peo-
p | e will he called upon to vote on the
amell(llm(llt of constitution an pro-
posed by it, giving the ,.!,„rt people the right
judges and
soHcitors. Tbe hill Ita.l b on referred
to the committee on general judiciary,
and was reported back with the re-
ommendation that it should not pass.

l'riday morning.
Mr. I elder’s Australian ballot hill
was the speeial order for It) o’clock,
but on motion of the author w as ear-
tied over and set for Monday at the
same hour.
An interesting matter was then
brought before the house by Mr.
Branch, of Columbia, who moved to
disagio* with the adverse report of
tlie committee on his hill to prevent
the making of gold contracts in this
li,a<0 -
A number of Democratic members
votod for tho measuro hih! tho rt'sult
" as Pb)se. The motion to disagree
with the unfavorable report, however,
was h>st, the vote being Iff to 45.
Tho object of the bill was I'!
declare gold contracts void, but to
make them payable in any kind of
money other than gold.
The convict bill, which had for sev¬
eral days been crowded out by other
business, entne up as the regular order
at 11 o’clock.
After a few speeches it was the con¬
sensus of opinion that no two mem¬
bers <if the house are agreed on any
one point affecting a settlement of this
perplexing question. As a matter of
fact, there is one point upon which
there is unanimity and it is that the
houso ts hopelessly muddled.
A catechism was finally decided on.
Nix questions have been prepared,and,
by beginning at the bottom,it is hoped
to arrive at some idea of the general
opuuou. those who have no opinions
ave expected to receive impressions
amine the legislative pupils. From
the results thus obtained a committee
of three will draft the measure which
will relieve the painful embarrassment
under which the house now labors.
I ho following is th© list ot* question**
prosoutod:
“First - Do you favor tlu> continua-
Don of , the present , lease system to
as
*!' f * d, ’"- T ‘‘“"vets under state super-
.
vision.
“Second l)o you favor the pur¬
chase of a farm aud erection of build¬
ings to care for the juveniles, women
and aged and iutirm convicts, and that
the able-bodied convicts be hired
U u-ed under state supervision m
term's of not longer than five years? ,
,
"Third—I)o you favor#central peni¬
tentiary for all the convicts, as recom¬
mended hy the principal keel er of the
penitentiary?
"Fourth—Do you favor state super¬
vision of the misdemeanor convicts, at
the same time leaving the direct con-
trol to the county authorities?
“Fifth—Do you want a commission
elected or appointed?
“Sixth—Do you want a principal
keeper elected or appointed?”
During the session Speaker Jenkins
grew very wroth at the way members
left the hail during the transaction of
important business, and intimated
that lie would use force to have a ina-
jority present if the occasion again
demanded it.
The senate lied just enough of ita
members in the chamber Friday morn-
ing w hen the roll was called to begin
business. The first thing in order was
the consideration of the bill of Senator
Hopkins providing for election of
judges and solicitors of the superior
court. This bill was discussed at
some length on Wednesday and was
then made the special order for Friday *
morning.
Owing to the exceedingly light at-
tendance Senator Hopkins moved to
displace tho bill and make it the spe-
ciol order for Wednesday, December
J, Senator Rattle objected, but the
motion was carried and tho bill went
over.
Henator Gray introduced a jointreso-
lotion memoralizing congress to refund
the cotton tax collected during tho
war. The resolution was adopted.
A few local bills were passed.
|,j|| s received only 23 votes which
was just a constitutional majority n ud
had one vote been cast against them
out of the 23 they would have
lost. When it became apparent that
there was hut little business before the
seriate and that, it would he a hard
matter to obtain a quorum Saturday,

REV. (HBSO> VINDICATED.
Wor th Georgia Conference ■Tumi-s” Hll
Character Without Trial.
There lurks an interesting story be-
hin '* the, arrest of the character of
J. T. Oibaon by Rev. C. 0. Carey
in the North Georgia conference at
Athens Friday. The charge against
Rev. Gibson was that he had been
imprudent with women. There was
no however, and Rev. Gibson
waa vindicated, the investigating eotn-
mittee having reported a trial not nec-
esaary. Gibson
According to reports, Revs.
a,ld t^rey have not been on the best of
torms 1or a number of years, Rev.
Carey, it is said, has been circulating
80rae reports about Rev. Gibson,
which prompted Rev. Gibson to do-
rnand an investigation at the present
conference.
The alleged indiscretion which Rev.
GHison is accused of having commit-
ted occurred in Rome three or four
years ago ween lie was pastor of one
of the Methodist churches of that city,
D developed that the reports were ab-
solutely false.
Tbe ,,iatter iiaH been much talked
about ever since, aud Rev. Carey, it is
f ” ud > has been lar g fil y responsible for
circulation of the reports. Rev.
Gibson has been very much worried on
thin account and finally determined
that he would make Rev. Curey prove
his statements,
He then went to Rev. Carey, so it is
said, and obtained a written statement
Horn him to the effect ho had never
circulated any such rumors. It is
farther stated that Rev. Gibson has in
his possession certain affidavits from
responsible parties who swear Rev.
Care y d ' ( l muko such statements to
them concerning Rev. Gibson’s char-
act «r-

detectives who had traced the fugitive

strategy, captured.
The papers were made out hy Holic-

BEWARE OF MORPHINE.
Mrs. Pinkham Asks Women to Ssok Porniruiont TL.
Cures and Not Mere Temporary Relief L
From Pain. _ JL
Special forms of suffering lead many a
woman, to acquire the morphine habit. f }i7f. i/M'dlV'
One of these forms of suffering is a dull, \ 1
persistent pain in the side, accompanied by A
heat and throbbing. There is disinclina¬
tion to work, because work only increases
the pain.
This is only one symptom of a chain of
troubles ; she has others she cannot bear
to confide to her physician, for fear
an examination, the terror of all sensitive,
modest women. but
The physician, meantime, knows her condition,
cannot combat her shrinking terror. He yields *o V
her supplication for something to relieve the pain. j
He gives her a few morphine tablets, with very
grave caution as to their use. Foolish woman ! She 1
thinks morphine will help her right along j she be¬ )
comes its slave 1
A wise and a generous physician had such a case ;
he told his patient he could do nothing for her, as J
she too to undergo an examination. In despair, she went to visit
was nervous yourself just to the nearest
a friend. She said to her, “Don’t give up; go
druggist’s and buy a bottle of Mrs, Lydia E. Pinkham s \ egetable Compound.
It will build you up. You will begin to feel better with the first bottle.’ She
did so, and after the fifth bottle her health was re-established. Here is her own
letter about it: hardly
AjjlgShatjj fadh “ I was very miserable ; was so weak that I could
g-et around the bouse, could not do any work without feel-
ing tired out. My monthly periods had stopped and I was
x so tired and nervous all of the time. I was troubled very
1 T much with falling of the womb Lydia and bearing-down Pinkham’s pains. Vege-
A friend advised me to take E.
V _J table Compound; I have taken five bottles, and think it is
the best medicine I ever used. Now I can work, and feel
Ip like myself. I used to be troubled greatly with
iny head, but I have had no bad headaches or palpi-
tation of the heart, womb trouble or bearing-down
pains, since l commenced to take Mrs. Pinkhams
Av jnedieine. I gladly recommend the Vegetable Corn-
: v- pound to every suffering woman. Tho use of one
bottle will what it can do.”—M rs. Lucy I’easley, Derby Center, Vt.
PONIES OF ICELAND.
PERFECT MARVELS OF ENDURANCE.
They Have a Peculiar Pacing Cait Which
Under Croat Weight Conquers Space-
Can Swim Like a Fish and Climb Liko
a Coat.
if the camel is the ship of the desert,
the Iceland pony is the cab, train,
omnibus and tramcar of the wonderful
country to which he belongs. To be-
gin with( he is a misnomer. He is not
’
a pony in the ordinary sense of the
wort; he Is a horse; in bone and
8inew> in strength and endurance, in
manners and deportment-a horse in
everything, in fact, except in inches;
and a sober, steady, hard-working
t ,„ r3 e. too. He is very “multum in
parvo,” a "concentrated essence” of
horseflesh. He can swim like a fish,
climb liko a goat and jump like a deer.
He sticks at nothing, and takes every
variety of travel—bog, lava bed, sand,
bowlders and grass mounds—with un¬
disturbed equanimity, If he has to
ford one or two rivers with strong cur¬
rents flowing girth-deep, it is all in
the day’s work. Only give him time
and periodical halts for refreshment,
and he will do his fifty miles per day,
and thrive upon it.
Iceland ponies are bred in hundreds
in the large grass plains in the south¬
ern districts of the islands. Little or
no care is taken in selection, So that
half hands, though here and there one
improved, the average pony standing
from eleven and a half to twelve and a
half hands, though here and there one-
will reach to nearly thirteen hands.
Every variety of color is seen, but
skewbalds of many shades are the
commonest. The chestnuts, as a rule.
arc the finest, and the browns the
hardiest. Beautiful cream colors, with
light points, are not infrequent; black
is very rare, and roan also. Their
paces are fast, considering the size
of the animal, a journey of thirty-two
miles being often done in six hours or
less, with, heavy baggage. They trot,
canter and gallop, but the pace most
esteemed by the natives is the amble
or “skeid,” in which the fore and hind
legs on a side are advanced simul¬
taneously, giving a running action,
very smooth to the rider. A good
“pacer” is considered very valuable,
and often sold for a high figure. Some
of these ponies amble so fast that they
keep ahead of another going at a
hand-gallop, and they maintain the
pace for a day’s journey under a
weight of eleven to fourteen stone. Ice-
lanfl Ponies are steady and fast in har-
ness, though wheels are a compara-
tiveiy new departure in their country,
The - V travel mostly in strings, often
tied head and tall. Hay, baggage and
househoM goods are thus transported,
and building material also. You meet
a timburlestur, or timber team, ot
from eight to ten ponies, one carrying
P'anks trailing on each side, another
strips of iron, another bundles of tools;
a number of Rpare aninlal s run-
looso, and not infrequently a foal
° r tW °'
It is as. rare to see a dead Iceland
pony as a dead donkey though their
skulls are often visible, half trodden
into the miry ways surrounding the
farms. The pony begins work at six
or seven years—hard work, that is to
say. He is early apprenticed to his
trade by following his mother at her
avocations, and when he is foot sore
is strapped upon her back. He works
well up to twenty years and over, and
often remains fairly sound to a ripe
old age. He feeds on the fat of the
land in the summer, and in the winter,
if his owner is poor, must live on his
wits and his stored condition. Farm¬
ers who are fairly well off keep their
animals in during the winter and feed
them on hay; but, notwithstanding.
many of the ponies have a hard time
of it. The Icelanders.h owever, keep
their steeds as well as their means al¬
low. and treat them altogether in a
brotherly fashion.
