BULLOCH TIMES
CATERERS TO DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
That Umiciio the 3ium.ruoture
ofi>o«ra.«l Hor.eiiUe.iit.
“Yes, we are nothing more nor
ess than dog caterers, sanl Mr. J.
Leigh. Mr. Leigh, seeing that he
arouged t' ne reporter’s curiosity,
tetl.®'.
of dog biscuits m London per
week, 35 tons here, besides manufac
taring our bniscuits in Berlin and
gp Petersburg.” By this time the
reporter began to imagine that the
dog was a much more important ani¬
mal than lie had hitherto believed
him to be and questioned Mr. Leigh
further.
Said tho latter: ‘‘Man
-would be a hundred per cent better
off if he could IrC fed on the same
principles we apply in catering to
dogs. We ourselves eat everything
and anything. The laborer has about
the same staple articles of food that
does the man who uses his brains.
There is but little difference, though
from a physical point of view' there
should be a vast one.
“In feeding dogs it is quite other¬
wise when we have the say. For in¬
stance, we don’t give a greyhound,
whose nature it is to run, food to
make him fat, but that which will
build up his bone and muscle and itn
prove his wind. A bulldog will get
tlje sort of biscuit that will improve
his courage awl increase his tenacity.
The pet dog that gets but little exer¬
cise has to be presented with some¬
thing more tempting than either of
the other two, while the puppy which
js still growing must have that which
will form both bone and flesh.
"In tho manufacture of our biscuits
all these facts enter largely. In the
first place, the biscuit must be hard,
so that the dog cannot bolt it at once,
as he usually does with soft food,
but must gnaw at it leisurely,
giving the saliva a chance to flow,
mix with his food and keeping help his digest teeth it,
at the same time
clean and his gums hard. As to
composition of our biscuits, we put
that proportion of animal and vege
table matter into them which will at¬
tain any desired result. Besides
catering to dogs, we make biscuits
for cats, and, by the way, 21 cents
per day is the average cost of keep¬
ing a eat on our biscuits. Then, too,
there are biscuits for horses, a very
serviceable thing in times of a cam¬
paign, when the most food must be
jjili ex^ience ' best space -i -osribie
“From our in
to animals,” said Mr. Leigli in conclu
,«iop, 1 ‘I will wager that the time will
come when the niun of
habits will no more think of
the same kind of food that the man
does who leads an active life, con¬
stantly calling his muscles into play,
than I would think of giving to my
greyhound the same biscuit to
that I would to my
and Hotel Proprietors’ Gazette.
A Lesson That Was Appreciated.
There is in the employ of a Maiden
lane house a traveling salesman
win > is D feet tall and who is not afraid
of anybody or anything. He is liab
ituaily polite, always treats and other
people with consideration ex¬
pects to bo so treated in return.
One day the tall salesman entered
a western retailer's store, politely of
fered his card and awaited the jewel¬
er’s pleasure. The merchant deliber
ately threw the card on the floor and
turned away. The tall salesman
was highly incensed by the insult
and gently touched the jeweler's
shoulder as he said in a subdued but
determined tone:
“If you don't pick up that card
^ j win pitch you over
your safe.” A glance assured the
jeweler that his visitor was able to
carry liis threat into execution. So
he picked up the card, apologized
and has since been a regular custom
er of the man who taught him to be
polite. —Jewelers’ Weekly.
Oil Furnaces In Ocean Steamships.
The experiment of using petroleum
as fuel on ocean steamers instead of
coal has proved successful, and it is
claimed that in the near future oil
will he almost exclusively used. The
experiment was made on the British
steamer James Brand, which lilies
between Philadelphia and Spanish
ports, and tlie report submitted is to
the effect that the oil goes 2t times
farther than the coal, while only re
quiring one-tenth the cargo space.
Tlie tests were made on a double
ended boiler during a three days'run,
and the oil developed the most satis¬
factory steammaking properties.
The James Brand, being a bulk oil
carrier, will not be allowed by tlie
insurance companies to use the pe
i rojeum fuel, but shipping men
claim that on vessels carrying gen¬
eral cargoes it will soon be generally
used.—Philadelphia Record.

Senator Stewart and the Blind Beggar.
A tall, snowy bearded man, with
wide brimmed soft liat and the gen
eral air of a ■westerner, was walking
along Fourteenth street, near Union
square. He noticed a blind beggar's
appeal for aid. Tho appeal was prom
inently displayed on a card hang¬
ing on the beggar's breast. It stated
that the appellant had lost bis sight
through a mine explosion in the west
many years ago.
Tho white bearded man stopped
and addressed a remark to the blind
beggar, whose face brightened at tht
first words and broke into asmih
when the gentleman shook baudi
yith him. Dropping a coin in tbt
tin cup that clanked like a sheep bel
at the liberal donation, tbevenerabb
pedestrian pursued bis path.

A Toad’s Cunning.
A scientific journal tells this story
of a toad's cunning: A brood oi
chickens v-as fed with moistened
meal in saucers, and when the dougli
soured a little it attracted large num¬
bers of flies. An observant toad bad
evidently noticed this, and every day
toward evening lie would make lii.
appearance in the yard, hop to r.
saucer, climb in and roll over until
lie was covered with meal, having
done which he awaited develop
meats. The flies, enticed by the
smell, soon swarmed around the
scheming batraehian, and whenevei
one passed within two inches or so oi
his nose liis tongue darted out and
the fly disappeared. The plan worked
so well that the toad made a regular
business of it.
Tlie First Act of a Tragedy.
You are sitting alone. Suddenly
you instinctively feel a sensation of
horror of some evil influence that is
present, but as yet unseen. You lift
your eyes. You behold, gliding over
tho carpet toward you, without noise,
without tlie trouble of
walking, a mouse. It stops. It fas¬
cinates you. You feel your blood
freeze and your limbs slowly par¬
alyze. Your heart stops beating.
Your breath ceases. A cold chill
creeps over you.—London Woman.
Taxes In China.
The Chinese are the most lightly
taxed people in the world. They have
no chancellor of the exchequer wor¬
ried over budget making. All the
land there belongs to the state, and a
trifling sum per acre, never altered
through long centuries, is paid as
rent. This is the only tax in tlie
country, and it amounts to about $5
per head yearly.—St. Louis Republic.

Washington, Sept. 14.—In the
senate this morning immerons pe¬
titions were presented favoring free
coinage at different ratios.
Senator Faulkner offered an
amendinont to Hie \\ ilson bill, as
outlined in Iiis speech the other
day, and asked that it be printed
in the Record. It provides that
three million silver dollars of 412A
grains weight shall he Coined and
directs the way in which purchases

It also provides for the gradual
redemption of national banks

smaller denomination than $10.
The Wilson bill was then called

speech. He was glad to note that
now when the acute panic was
over it was easy to see that the
Sherman law had nothing to do
with the sending away of gold, and
the threatened repeal had been no
earthly use to bring it back. The
conditions that brought about the
panic were the enormous increase
of debt, the unprecedented lower¬
ing of prices that has been going
on for twenty years, and the con¬
temporaneous destruction of the
money power of silver.

Findlay, Ohio, Sept. 14.—All

responded with the following
letter to Governor McKinley:

the Philadelphia Ledger that an
examination of the vaults in the

age of more than 5,000 ounces of
gold bullion, valued at $134,000.

The shortage was discovered on¬

MISSISSIPPI’S METEOR.
Mr. Mattox, of Mississippi, was
housing Iris hens. The night was
somewhat cloudy. He had visited
lus barns and was on the point of
returning to his house, when all
at once he heard a peculiar hiss¬
ing sound overhead and at the
same time a luminous glow fell
around him, as if the moon had
suddenly emerged from a dark
cloud. He looked up and was
almost paralyzed at the sight of a
brilliant, fiery globe descending
through the air with the speed of
lightning, and shooting a comet
like tail far up into the heavens.
So rapid was the descent that it
was only visible for a second, but
iti that brief space he says he suf¬
fered an eternity of unspeakable
tenor.
The fire ball struck the earth
with a dull report scarcely 300
yards away from where he stood.
It was some minutes before he
could recover the use of his limbs,
when, running hastily to his house,
he aroused the family, and several
laborers about the place, telling
them a comet lmd struck the
earth, and they had only a few
minute's to pray.
In a short while the whole plan¬
tation was up, and women and
children were heard crying and
supplicating heaven for mercy.
They could not get closer than
30 yards on account of the heat
and noxious fumes of sulphur and
gas which the atone emitted. The
stone sizzled and steamed and

By daylight it showed up a dull
dingy black, ami was full of pores,
which still shot out jets of vapor
of an offensive smell which almost

THE CONVICT LOTTERY.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 15 .—The gov¬
ernor today refused to grant the
application for pardon of V. Chris¬
topher, sentenced to twelve months
from Savannah for keeping his
place of business open on Sunday.
Christopher was released for a first
violation of the Sunday law upon
a plea of ignorance, but the plea
would not go the second time he
was caught, and the governor holds
that his willful defiance of the law
should justly bar him from execu
tive clemency.
Application of pardon for Char
lie Hill, convicted of assault with
intent to kill, and of John Lewis,
convicted of murder in Appling

PRAYED TO KEEP HIS CLOTHES.
No class of the population of
New York come nearer to the poor
than the members of the Slum
Brigade, as it is called, of the Sal¬
vation Army. The Slum Sisters
enter the homes of the unfortu¬
nates, and minister, either spiritu.
ally or materially', to sick and poor
alike.
It is a wonderful work which
they perform for the cause of Chris¬
tianity. Imbued with an enthu¬
siasm compared to which the mem¬
bers of the other sects seem but
half-hearted, the Slum Sisters do
not hesitate to wash and dress the
babies, cook the meal for the moth¬
er or attend to the family washing
and ironing. The necessity of the
work only governs its performance.
In the barracks in which the no¬
ble Slum Sisters live are beds and
cots for homelsss women and chil¬
dren. Many pathetic stories could
be written about the chance occu¬
pants of these temporary resting
places, but to none probably at¬
taches more human interest than
the case of a little waif to whom
the attention of Mrs. Ballington
Booth was recently called.
The child was a boy scarcely
more than 4 or 5 years old. His
parents had evidently been sent to
the island or had drifted away
somewhere. When found crouch¬
ed in a corner of a hallway one
chilly night in March ho was but
half clad and was numbed with ex¬
posure to the cold.
Taken into the barracks the
waif was washed and dressed in
clean clothes, warmed and fed.
He was delighted with the atten«
tion that he received, and particu¬
larly with his garments—so much
so that when one of the sisters at
tempted to undress lum he cried,
under the belief that he was about
‘ i'new to be a^fiUter. iicrmiyuently '^ deprived of
.
This was very apparent
the sister attempted to teach
the words of the simple
“Now I lay me down to sleep.”
Kneeling beside him at the bed¬
side the sister said: “Say these
words after me, ‘Now I lay me
down to sleep. »
Peeping between nis fingers the
little fellow lisped, “Now I lay me
down to sleep.”
“I pray the Lord my soul to
keep,” continued the sister.
“1 pray the Lord my clothel io
keep,” whispered the boy. ^
“No, not ‘clothes to keep,’ ul
