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.

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. “That's Senator Stewart of Ne vada," whispered one observer to an other, “and tlio blind beggar onct worked in the same mine with him Two ’snuiritfU's hgo ftieV'iiiet Sfiino way in this neighborhood.

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. Kotvl Hilarity. Arrival—Can I put up jt this house? Clerk—I suppose so. Got any bag¬ gage !

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 ffiall be made and money issued, It also provides for the gradual redemption of national banks notes until no currency of that •description is in circulation of smaller denomination than $10. The Wilson bill was then called tip and Senator.’Daniel began his 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.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 14.—United States deputy marshals have bought to light a peculiar oath bound union of illicit distillers with headquarters in Murray county. It has a membership of nearly 2,100.

A well-known naval stores fac¬ tor received a very interesting let¬ ter from one of liis South Carolina customers yesterday in reponse to a query sent him as to when he was going to make some shipments. The letter went on to state that almost everything in the naval stores line had been wiped out Ly the storm. He said that the tur¬ pentine operators over there were scraping tlie trees, logs, sapplings and everything else in order to get what little had been left of the crop, and that he would make a shipment as soon as he could get iiis vessel out of the corn field, where it had been lodged by the wind and waves.—Savannah News.

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 shot out jets of steam or vapor from a thousand 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 stilled. The stoqe is evidently im bedded in the ground for some distance, and shows only ' ali^ut a foot above the surface. Mr. Mat¬ tox estimates it to bo about the size of a hogshead.—Chicago Post. 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 county, were also denied.

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 to corrected the sister. “S ou l to keep,” said the boy. « Novv 8ay it from the beginning,” urged the worker in the slums. « *x ow f i ay m0 d own to sleep, I imiy the lord my soul to keep.’” Bu t the poor li t t le fel low was to I l t 11 "I ...

I’ll take care of those.” “And won’t you pawn them,” re¬ plied the lad, to the astonishment of the sister, “and buy rum with them? That’s what they always did at home when I had new clothes.” „ .hUurf the child.
