' LIFE AND DEATH David Lewsley was at one time a reporter for a Washington jour nal, and in that capacity was sent to interview Senator Ingalls upon an important matter of state. The senator, who had no intention whatever of being drawn into conversation on the subject, met Mr. Lewsley with his accustomed grace, and courteously veered the conversation into other channels. Somehow, for want of another handy subject, the senator said something aboat beards, which led to barbers, and of coarse, to the general subject of shaving. “By all means,” said Senator Ingalls, “you should learn to shave yourself,” and then he went on with a learned, thoughtful and highly entertaining disquisition on the advantages, economic and metaphysic, of shaving one’s self, rather than hiring a barber to do it. Mr. Lewesley paid careful attention to all the senator said, fixed facts and dates in his mind, and said nothing. When the sena tor had related circumstantially his own varied experience with razors and brushes and soaps, recom mending this make of blade and that brand of lather to Mr. Lewes- ley’s use, the" reporter, convinced that he could not learn what he came to learn, arose to go. There was, or the'reporter imagined that there was a sort of merry, trium phant twinkle in Senator Ingalls’ eye as he politely bowed his caller from the room—a wink which seemed to say: “I have made that young man really forget what he came for.” The next morning Senator In galls was more or less horrified at finding in the local newspaper a true report of all he had said, in cluding the earnest recommenda tion of a certain shaving soap, which he unqualifiedly pronounced the very best that conld be had. But the reporter’s vengeance was not yet satisfied. He marked the article and sent it to the manu facturer of the recommended soap. In a fortnight the newspapers, the periodicals, and' all the many means employed by advertisers were brought into use, and Senator Ingalls’ eloquent eulogy of that soap was printed in every form that conld be devised to attract popular attention. And the worst of it was the senator could not de ny that the very expressions, earn est and glowing as they were, were all his own. Tho first and only one in the field.

OGILYlil, Publisher, 57 Bose Street, Yew York. A Business Melody. There was a man in our town, and he was wondrous wise, for when he morked his prices down, he then did advertise. And when he saw his trade in crease, with all his might and main he marked still lower every price and advertised again. And when he advertised again his rivals loudly swore, to see folks rnsh with might and main to pa tronize his store. And while they sat in solitude and saw him custom win, that man behind the counter stood and raked the shekels in. And when he raked the shekels in, and saw his fortune rising, he took a goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising. Each day a generous sum he’d sink, and demonstrate fall plain, the more one pays' for printer’s ink, the greater is his gain. Here is a short. sermon by a woman, though not preached from a pulpit.

Hmriatta Journal. There is no one sentiment, which becoming prevalent among and made the motto of the people of a town, city, county or State, will so mnch tend to growth in population and wealth, as an intense home pride; a firm and unflinching opin ion that that section which is their home, taken all inall, is the best country on the face of the earth, and that the gifts which God has bestowed upon them are at least equally as good if not some better than those enjoyed by other sec tions, says the “Tradesman.” In looking through the world with an impartial eye the observer cannot fail to recognize the fact that there is ever a character of equalization, the blessings which one Tegion nas may not exist in another, but there is somejjcompensating advantage. One section mayjbe blessed with a wonderfully fertile soil, but its air in the sultry months of summer ecomes laden with malaria, and lie water of’its streams stands in slnggish pools, and that for use of man and beast comes from the earth with queer taste and sicken- ly warm. In another section the dwellers there may sigh for the rich black bottoms on which to grow their corn and cotton, but aronnd their homes never floats a germ of malaria, and the pure cool water comes up from its bed spark ling and bright as if ’twere liquid chrystal. Therejis a compensation in all things, and while by reason of neglect or their own vicious habits some may not have used or improved the opportunities at their command, yet those advantages are none the less there, and in all communities may be found those who have improved them, some to greater, some to a less extent. No one can ever attain the great est excellenece in any line of work or business by living within him self, bnt he can reach that goal by ever applying to his own sur„ roundings the lessons which he learns in tours of observation in other sections. It is well to recog nize the advantages of others and to carefully measure their re sources and strength, bnt no man or set of men will ever succeed in any line without a perfect confi dence in himself or themselves, in the seetton where they live, and the means placed within their reach for the accomplishment of any ends desired. Carried to a very great extent, this may be called selfishness or egotism, and so it is in a certain sense, but prop? orly balanced it is simply a com mendable and very desirable home pride. Money invested here at home, even in enterprises which fail, re turns to our merchants in the pur chase of groceries, hardware and dry goods; to the fanner for his grain and meat, to the mechanic for his labor. Every dollar sent out of the State or the South makes ns poorer; every dollar kept in it and pnt to work actively makes ns day by day and year by year rich er and more independent. Invest your money at home and yon can watch it; invest your money at home and that will aid in building up towns and increase the value of now unused land, thereby less ening your taxes. Modern chemistry shows. that the medical lore of the ancient herbalists had a mnch sounder basis than has been imagined. In 1597 watercresses were recommend ed for the cure of scurvy and scrof ula. Chemists now say that the cress contains sulphur, phospho rous, iodine and iron—substances that are known to be actual anti dotes to scrofula. Tlie Teacher Let That Boy Alone. Atlanta Journal.

He spend shis afternoons and all of his spare time, of which he seems to have a good supply, in foraging in the country for bugs and lizards. Every morning he takes in his pockets to - school the result of his last raid. Monday the speci mens of insectiferous and • reptili an life that he can fish up from the depths of his trousers pockets are varied and awful to touch and look at. Last week the teacher took an inventory of the bugs and’ beasts found in his pockets, or that escaped therefrom and terrified other children—and the teacher. There ytere- several varieties of beetles, pigeons with broken ly enjoy being told that they are unduly pale or red, thin or stout; so, unless yon can say, “How well yon are looking,” it were better to make no remark on the personal appearance o£ your friend. Never tell a lady who has on a particular ly becoming gown or bonnet that she looks ten years younger in that than in anything you have seen her wear. That is at best but a dnbions compliment Yon mean to be flattering, but it is equivalent to saying, “All your other gown3 are unbecoming, and make yon look old.” No woman wants one garment praised at the expense of every other that she possesses.

That is an impeach- wings, English sparrows, batter- ment to her- taste heretofoie, flies, devil horses, slugs, snails, earthworms, lizards, a snake or two, and an occasional frog, damp and cold. One day he slyly opened the flap of his pocket, and then went on in his hard resolute effort to make his teacher think he was studying. After awhile the teach er noticed a grasshopper hopping- agilely from desk to desk amid the titter and a tee hee of the.scholars. A ehase was begun, when another grasshopper was seen, then anoth er and they were everywhere hop ping all over the room, and stick ing their sharp feet in the little girls’ hair, frighting them half to death. Come here! shouted the teach er to the tender lover of insects, as she reached for a ferule. “Give me your hand, sir.” The naturalist held out his hand as if he was a martyr . to science. The teacher was aboat to sieze it when she caught sight of two green eyes that flashed at her from the boy’s, hand and a forked tongue that seemed to dart into her face. The boy h’ad a snake coiled aronnd his arm. He was not feruled, and the teacher has not felt well since. To the Point.

Pity ‘Tis True. ’Tis, though you probably may have no such thought. If you should no tice a bit of black court plaster on a friend’s cheek, don’t try to be witty by pointing to it and asking him if he has been fighting; he knows it is there, certainly, or it would not be there, hence it is su perfluous as well as offensive to speak of it. Whatever pertains to one’s toilet is of a strictly private nature, and the well-bred stranger friend intermeddleth not. When elderly persons are present don't tell how you dread and hate the thought of old age. Never, when in mixed company, introduce sub jects of conversation that might prove offensive to ordinarily sen sitive people. As for the rest, by conscientiously observing the po liteness which comes from the heart, even the hyper-sensitive are comparatively safe in your pres ence, and beyond the danger of re ceiving any serious offense. A young woman in Waterbary, Conn., attributes her- loss of sight to coal gas, which escaped from a stove in her bedroom daring the night Before retiring she re moved the lids from the stove, and the next morning she awoke with the sight of the right eye much dimmed. As the day wore on the sight got weaker, and at 3 p. m. it disappeared entirely. Then the left eye began to grow weak in sympathy. Physicians were sum moned, bnt they were powerless to check the departing power of the eyes, or give the suffering-girl re lief in any way. It is feared that the young woman’s j sight is lost forever. London medical men will not hear with mnch satisfaction that the President of the Institute of Actuaries proposes to dispense with their services in examining for insurance. Not in all cases, but in as many as like to come be fore a certain insurance company, and prefer to make a statement before a responsible officer. Need less to say, this change is based upon the calculation that thou sands of people in good health will not insure because they have to pass through the doctor’s sur veillance. Under the new condi tions “the assurance will run for the first five years as a sayings fund with compound interest at 5 per cent.' combine instead of to compete with one another in business mat ters and relations, the question with the masses, whether combi nation or competiton will be the best for them, is growing to be a serious one. Especially is this true of the agriculturists and oth er laboring classes of this country. The tendency and rapid steps to ward monopoly and combination of capital are enough to awaken and arouse the working people. Monopoly, when blown to* full bloom, is simply the total killing out of competition^ which is the great protector to the laboring classes, and combination of capital effects about the same result. While this combination may lessen expenses to the combiners, and in some instances may woik a con venience to the people, yet the facts growing out of it have never yet demonstrated that it ul timately works out profitable re sults to the masses, who are out of the combine. The manifest disposition and open efforts of railroad combina tions to possess themselves of all the competing railroads in onr own state are pregnant with the proph ecy that the consummation of snch a project will be the death of com petition in that line, while it is not pregnant with the promise that it will ultimately pan ont great good to the people. If in this manner, if competition in railroads in Georgia be done away with, will not the result be, placing of the people in the power of the combine to an extent that will be dangerous? While it is trne that railroad s)'ndicates and combines cannot offord to so op press the people as to crush them, lest they, by so doing cat their own throats, yet a monopoly of the railroad business by a few individ uals creates the power to oppress, and who can work ont the border line of this oppression when the power to oppress is once obtained? Hence, when there is a constitu tional inhibition standing between the people and the suppression of railroad competion, what is their duty? A fox driven by the . hounds, in a recent hunt upon the estate of Lord Granville, at Walmer Castle, bolted right before Lord Gran ville’s eyes through the halls of the castle and into the drawing room, with the hounds in full cry after him. They ran him down and killed him in front of the mantel-piece. A prominent Tammany brave as serts that one result of New York’s failure to get the world’s fair will be the re-election of Mayor Grant; another will be the re-electioon of a democratic legislature for New York, and a third will be the elec tion of a democratic president.

A Bell-Boy's Keen Ear. “There is a young man who has a remarkable gift.” The speaker was a hotel clerk, and his sbserva- tion was addressed to a reporter last evening. As he Bpoke he nod ded his head in the direction of a bell boy who had just come up to answer a call on the indicator. The reporter had noticed that the young man called out the number of the room os soon as • the bell rang, and when he was away over on the opposite side of the rotun da, at such a distance from the in dicator that he could not possibly have distinguished the figures on the tag that had dropped down. The newspaper man was mystified and inquired how the boll boy knew the room that the call came from without seeing the number exposed. It was then that the clerk made the remark attributed to him. “That boy,” he continued, “knows the call from every room in this house simply by the 'sound of the bell. When you think that there are more than 200 bells the hotel, in as many different rooms, all sounding alike to the ordinary listener, his keenness of hearing seems wonderful. But it is a fact, and I do not know that he ever made a mistake in calling out . the number of a room when he heard its bell. ring.”—Bochester Herald.

Numerous experi ments have been made with okra fibre, and a strong faith in its adaptability to the common uses of jnte has been established in South Carolina, where a company ha§ been organized to manufacture it into bagging. The Telegraph has receivedjseveral specimens of the okra fibre, which were strong and seemed easyiof manipulation. Some weeks ago Hon. W. J. Northen, President of the State Agricultural Society, by 'accident discovered that[the fibre ofjthe old- field peavine is very stout, and ex periments in itsjmanufacture; may be attempted. The latest suggestion in this line comes from Col. Towers, prin cipal keeper of the. penitentiary. He thinks he has discovered in the Palma Christi, or castor bean plant, just the thing to take the place of jnte. Its fibre is said to be almost as strong as flax, and the fibre can be stripped from the plant with remarkable |ease. The Palma Christi grows luxuriantly in all parts of Georgia, frequently attaining to the height of fifteen feet. It is valuable for its yield of castor beans, of which Gol. Towers believes that an acre in Georgia can be made to produce from fifty to seventy-five bushels. But the possibility that its fibre may be turned to valuable account invests this plant with a new interest and will lead to further investigation. Let th9 castor bean bosh have a fair show.
