We don’t charge high and are always ready to come. Don’t Be TonptlT. There are some people always look ing out for slights. They cannot pay a visit, they cannot receive a friend, they cannot carry on the Intercourse of the family, without suspecting some offense Is designed. They nre terribly touchy. If they meet an acquaintance In the street who happens to be pre occupied with business, they attribute his abstraction to some motive per sonal to themselves and take umbrage accordingly. They lay on others the fault of their Irritability. A fit of in digestion makes them see Imperti nences In everybody they come In con tact with. Innocent persons who nev er dreamed of giving offense are as tonished to find some unfortunate word or some momentary taciturnity mis taken for Insult. Of course, such a mental condition Is due to too much thinking about self and tot#n exagger ated self esteem, even though uncon scious. The best remedy Is to persist ently put thoughts of self out of mind. Find something more absorbing and more elevating to think about If you are one of the touchy ones, and you’ll soon lose the habit. Valuable itunn ot Silence. There has come into modern life n greater variety of sound and n greater volume than assailed the ears of our ancestors. To keep one's freshness there ought to be a zone of silence around every human being during some part of the day. The finest creative work is done, ns a rule. In seclusion; not necessarily apart from men nor in solitary places, but away from the tu mult and away from distracting sounds. There was organized in Paris years ago a society for the culture of silence. On the occasion of the Initia tion of a distinguished man of letters a bowl of water was brought out to him In a room where he was waiting In solitude. He studied it a moment, placed a rose upon it and sent it back. The water bore the rose without over flowing. To the members assembled In another room the act was the most convincing evidence that the lultlate comprehended the purpose of the fel lowship and was prepared In spirit to become one of the compauy. The act was a symbol which Americans may wisely study.—Good Health. Rlffhteenth Century 'Life. These brief extracts from the letters of Elizabeth Montagu, the “queen of the bluestockings,” throws a curious light on eighteenth century life In Eng land. She was suffering from a swell ed lii>.

A Storm Above the rlonrtn. Professor John Wise, the eminent nerounnt, who lost bis life In milking n bn boon ascension on Sept. 28, 1870. gave the following description of n thunderstorm which he once viewed from the “top side;” "The view of n Phone lfilt stormeloud from above Is one of the _______ most Interesting sights ever beheld by mortal man. A storm viewed from above the clouds has the appearance li [S| of ebullition. The upper surface of the cloud is bulged upward and outward and lias the resemblance of n vast sea of boiling, upheaving snow. Immedi ately above the stormeloud tho air Is not so cold as It Is In tho clearer at mosphere above or In the cloud itself. The falling of the rain can be distinct ly heard, making a noise like a water fall over a precipice. The thunder heard above a stormeloud Is not loud, and the flashes of lightning appear like streaks of intensely white light on the 1 surface of the gray colored vapor.” W.

It Is seldom that there is a sufficient ly heavy fog on an American railway to cause serious Inconvenience that no apodal precautions are taken, hut In England a heavy fog Is so common that there Is a regular service made up of the repair gangs, who take the place of the mechanical signals. Every dis tance signal Is guarded by a signal man, who Is supplied with flags and torpedoes, the latter being called de tonators, while the signal men are pointsmen. Two torpedoes are placed on tlu* truck to warn the engineer when the signal is set at danger and are sup plemented by a red lantern in the hands of the signal man. As the tor pedoes cost n cent and a half each and are used In great numbers there Is a machine supplied by which the second torpedo Is forced from the rail by the force of tile explosion of the first, as only one Is necessary, the second being merely a precaution. niy bathing elonthes and on Sunday night shall take a souze. 1 think It u pleasant remedy.” Apparently In 1711 « lady could not take a hath even on Sunday night and In the privacy of her chamber without her “bathing elonthes." Mrs. Montagu writes again: "My fit) Is not entirely reduced, though I have been blistered twice, once blood ed, nml have five times taken physic, have lived upon chicken and white meats and drank nothing but water. 1 have suffered great disappointment about the warm bath which I am ad vised to try, for the bathing tubs are so out of order that we have not yet been able to make them bold water." DEPOTJST. E. O. REESE, NEWNAN, 6A. Drs. Davis & Turner Physicians and Surgeons Newnan, Georgia. A I.lfo of Freedom. People sometimes think how delight ful It would bo to be quite free. But a fish, ns Ituskln says. Is freer than u mau, and, as for a fly, It Is "n black incarnation of freedom." A life of so called plensure and self Indulgence Is not a life of real happiness or true freedom. Far from It. If we once be gin to give way to ourselves wo fall under n most Intolerable tyranny. Olli er temptations are in some respects like that of drink. At first, perhaps, It seems delightful, but there Is bitter ness at tlie bottom of the cup. Men drink to satisfy the desire created by previous Indulgence, So it Is In oilier things. Repetition soon becomes a craving, not a pleasure. Resistance grows more and more painful. Yield ing, which at first, perhaps, afforded some slight and temporary gratifica tion, soon ceases to give pleasure and, even If for a time It procures relief, ere long becomes odious Itself.

Died SlnndliiK, The Incident of Rutlsbon—a French officer, though mortally wounded, rides back to Napoleon, reports the capture of the city uud then fulls from his sad dle dead—Is paralleled by u story of Gettysburg. An officer of the Sixth Wisconsin regiment walked up to Colo nel Dawes, who - was In command— Colonel Bragg was In Washington on crutches. The officer was very erect and very pale. Dawes and Doubleday both thought be was coming with a re port or to receive orders. But he was not. He hud a favor to ask. “Colo nel,” he said to Dawes, “will you tell the folks at home I died as a man and a soldier should?” Then he unbuttoned bis cout. Ills whole side was shot away. It wus his lust effort. He died standing. A None Tax. A “nose tnx” was In the ninth cen tury exacted by the Danes from the householders In Ireland. It was so called not because It was levied on noses, but from the fact thut a failure to pay was punished by slitting the nose from tip to eyebrow. It wus con tinued during thirteen years, when the householders, objecting to this treat ment of their nasal ornaments, rose in rebellion, massacred ull the Danes In Ireland and put an end to the nose slitting. The t'liow Di»k. The chow, (he solemn, black tongued dog which comes from China, Is, the London Chronicle thinks, tlie Ideal city dog. It says: "lie never barks unless there Is something serious to lmrk at. You open the door, and the dog march es out with fine solemnity. This writ er's chow has a range of about ten square miles, and lie lias never hurt a baby, though be lias gathered Innumer able friends during Ills solemn march through London. He never loses his head, and his morning walks embrace Chelsea, Putney and the sacred pre cincts of tho Brompton oratory. In deed, ho once followed a bicycle to Hendon and found his way hack with in forty-eight hours with an honorably empty stomach. The unaccompanied chow is the very least of the nuisances of the London streets.” Artificial Haney. The honey had some foreign sub stance In It—the leg of a bee and a shred of broken wing. ‘■Well," suld the wife of the food ex pert. "this Is pure at any rate.” She hold up the bits of bee on n fork before her husband. "No benzole acid, for maldehyde, boric add or salicylic Held here, eh, John?” But John, the food expert, laughed scornfully. “Those bits of bee in the honey,” he said, “prove Its artificiality. Genuine honey never lms dead bees In It. They who make genuine honey are too clean and careful for anything of that kind to happen. It Is ns rare to find In real honey a bee’s wing or a bee's leg as It Is to find In u loaf of bread a baker’s lmnd or foot.” Uulte n Difference.
