Why Red-haired Girls Don’t Tun A red-headed girl, I believe, ' never turns brown. That, I un derstand from a learned physician, is because she has too much iron in her blood; It is the iron that gives the find Titian hue to her hair. If she had less iron in her blood, her hair, would probably be chestnut or brown, of perhaps blonde. The varying degrees of redness that you see in different red-headed girls is due to the dif ferent proportion of iron in their blood. A girl with glossy; brown ish hair that shows red in a strong light has only a faii^share of iron in her blood—but a bricktop, if I am permitted (he expression—a bricktop is full of iron. The doc tors know of no way of neutral izing the effect of the iron. Per haps they wouldn’t resort to it even if they knew it. For it is the iron in the blood that makes red headed gills so strong and good- natured. It also is che cause of freckles, which are very good for Sie' health. And ft is noted as a angular thing—probably also hav ing some relation to the iron in the blood—that mnsqaitoes never kite red-headed girls. So you see, according to the dictum of this learned physician, a red-headed §h'l has many advantage over her darSghaired sister.—Philadelphia Press. The Proposed Amendment. The voters of Georgia will have to express their wishes before long upon a very important subject. It is proposed to amend the consti tution so that instead of having three Supreme judges we shall have five. We do not know what particular end the framers of this amendment had in view, but to the eye of the ordinary citizen it looks like a place for two men to be put where they will be out of the way of other office seekers and get a good fat salary; simply this and nothing more. Some of those who advocate the adoption of this amendment claim that the present justices have more than they can do, and that they need help. Are they overworked? Do they!work as hard and as continually as the ordinary bookkeeper, or clerk, or farmer, of printer? Would tire business be facilitated by adding two to their number? Is it not expected that each justice shall carefully examine the evidence in each case brought before them, and that the state shall have the benefit of their joint opinions? Can five men look’into the merits of a given number of cases, where each man is to look into 'each case, and do it better and in less time than three men can do it? It is easier to get an agreement or a joint-opinion from five men than it is to get it from three men? Will it riot cost several thousand dollars more to have five justices than three? Will the ends of jus tice be more fully met with five than three judges on the bench? . We are neither lawyers nor are we lawmakers, but we will think about such things and the answer to these (.questions are about thusly. If the justices are over worked they need clerical help and not associate help.. They do not work as hard or as continuously many other men do and they fare sumptouslv evefy day. The busi ness Would not be materially fa cilitated by adding two more to their number, . for they would be sure to disagree often and lose riiore time ih useless discussion. It is expected that each one of the justices shall look carefully into the merits of each case and that We shall have their joint opinion; and of course five can not do that any sooner than thi-ee Can. And they will be much longer deliver ing their joint opinions. It will cost the salaries of ' two more judges and the ends of justice will not be as fully met as they are now. Has the state of Georgia a big surplus in the treasury that We should be making offices to put men in when we do not need their work? If the office seekers are gettting tdo fiumerous there is plenty room on the farm. The state does not need them half so much as they think; of yon, boys and girls • both, that greater than is generally sup- Tlie Awkward Squad. Philadelphia Times.

It is utter nonsense to say that none of them live in the city. In an hour’s walk we come across plenty of them—the man who stops sudden ly-right in front of yon and starts back in the other direction; or stands in the center of the side walk staring in at a window; the man who bolts ahead under either full or half steam, looking over his shoulder the while; the man who swings his cane or folded umbrel la back at an angle of forty-five degrees, so that the ferule strikes the unfortunate pedestrian behind him somewhere J>etween the instep and the sliih; the other umbrella man, who holds it horizontally un der his arm; arid stops suddenly and often to let its sharp point get in its thrust on the center of your breast or your stomach; the women who cluster in a bunch of thought less indifference right in the mid dle of the walk, or around some attractive shop window; the boys, and men; too; who select the most crowded part of the sidewalk for skylarking and scuffling, with the certainty of trampling Upon a score of corns and knocking the .breath out of hfilf a dozen people every five minutes. Now, is it ’ the country Cousin Who does SuCh things? Is it the inexperienced promenader, who is riot used to crowded streets, and who should be excused if he gets in the way of others? It is the city man, the city woman, the city boy; all of whom ought to know betteri Watch them the next time you are out, and then look at the brisk young fellow who walks care- frilly dotvn the street, threading his way skillfully through every crowd, colliding with no one, touching no one, but never slack ing his speed, all the same; take him for your model, and learn to do what really few people know how to do -well—to walk in a crowded thoroughfare without get ting in other people’s way while you keep steadily on your own. It seems a commonplace matter, but it is an important and neglect ed one. Clieese from Beans* social affairs of the American court, and to be invited to the White House to one of these is the social event of a lifetiine. The White House blazes with light. The Marine band plays in tbe ves tibule. The great East room be comes a tropical flower garden, and its white and silver pillars aie wreathed with garlands and hung with flower shields, upon which have been svoven American eagles bf pinks and roses. It is here that Mrs. Cleveland stands with the President and receives thirty or fifty guests who have been in vited to the dinner, and it is from here that she is escorted to the state dining room by the most honored of the party. The dining room sparkles with cut glass and Silver, and the dinner of many Courses is gotten . rip by French cooks. The daintiest of viands are washed down with rare old wines, and a number of glasses by each plate save that of Mrs. Cleveland. The President’s wife has as far as her own example goes, espoused the cause of tem perance; She drinks nothing at these dinners but Apollinaris water, and, though she does n it, as did Mrs.. Hayes, endeavor to regulate the tastes of others; she does not torich wine herself. At her state receptions she shakes hands with from three to five thousand persons on every such night daring the season.. It is said that she has shaken hands with more than one hundred thousand people driring the past winter. She is a good hand-shaker, and each caller receives a warm grasp and a decided pressure. In most <5a§eA this is accompanied by a cordial smile, and those who have the plesure of chatting with Mrs. Cleveland for a short time become her friends. Facts About Ireland. Cotton xuid Woo!; CITATION. Atlanta Constitution. It is impossible for a fair mind ed man to endorse England’s Irish policy when he looks at the pres ent condition of Ireland. Nearly one million pauperized Irishmemhave to be relieved every year, by the authorities. .Of. this number eighty per cent, have been made paupers by the cruel evic tions forced by their grasping land lords. More than 3,000,000 acres of good land remain untilled, because the landlords demand an exorbi tant rent. In one generation the popula tion of the island has decreased at a fearful rate.' It has dropped from 8,600,000 to 2,500,000. No other land, however oppress ed and robbed, can present such a mournful array of statistics. No poor man ever goes to Ireland in search bf liberty or in the hope of bettering liis Condition; but, on the other hand, men flee from tlie country as if some blighting curse had befallen it. For protesting against the poli cy which has brought about these results;’the followers of Parnell are denounced and imprisoned by the tor.y government. Patriots are thiown into filthy jails to siiffef and starve, and perhaps die, as Mandeville died. j When the masses of the Eng lish people get'all these facts be fore them, they will be compelled to elect parliamentary representa tives who will grant home, rule to Ireland, or take their stand before the world as the most brutal nation of this civilized age.’ The only hbpe of-the Irish rests with the English massess, the common people, the workers of the land There is nothing to be expected from the classes, the. Aristocrats, monopolists and landlords who now hold the reins of power. Frofti qic Minneapolis Faun, Stock and Home. _• GEORGIA-HOUSTON COONTr:’.

Aug9-'30d. - ~~ A curd, called Tofu, is made in Japan from beans, and, it is said, on scientific authority, to approach iriofe nearly ih its composition to animal food than any other vege table food known. Its nutritions value is about double that of beef, about one-fifth of its weight being fat, and nearly two-fifths nitro genous matter. To prepare the cord, the beans are first soaked for 24 hours, then ground with pure water into a thiri pulp. This pulp is heated to boiling, -When more water is added, and, after standing a short time, the liquor is strained through a bag, brine is stirred into it effecting coagulation, and the curd is pressed. Mr. LV. Mattieu Williams remarks that all beans and peas will yield soluble casein by this Japanese process, and he estimates the cost of the bean- enrd, equal to the best cheese, at .about thredrpmicse' per pounds- 1 Arkansaw Traveller. A singular accident happened to a Boston woman the other day. As she was walking down Hano ver street, in that city, she was hit on the head with a base ball thrown Jay some boys at play. The blow did not cause her much pain, and she proceeded, down the street. After d little while, how ever, she forgot the way home, and wandered aimlessly on until she was taken in charge by some person who recognized her. Her memory had departed, though she is conscious of what takes place around her. Skepticism.

The annual crop of hay in the United States for the last seven or eight years, according to the offi cial reports, has ranged from 32,- 000,000 to 49,000,000 tons, valued at $371,000,000 to $415,000,000. The average crop for the period indicated was 40,877,394 tons, val ued at $387,771,207.

Since ex-Governor Hubbard, of Texas, was appointed Minister to the Court of Japan, out trade with that country has grown from $13,- 000,000 to $25,009,000; $2,500,000 in excess of the total English- -Japanese trade for the same year.
