It is not often that fate plays so
exactlyjnto the hands of a woman
who has been scorned as to give
her the sweets of revenge so pecul
iarly enjoyed by Miss Margaret
Moore, at Moscow, Pa., recently.
Thirty years ago, or more, Miss
Moore aud Timothy Fo’.ey were
amoDg the most popular of the
younger set in this little Pennsyl
vania village. Miss Moore was the
toast of the town, aud numerous
were the advantageous opportuni
ties of matrimony of which she was
the recipient. To all proffers, ex
cept those of Eoley, she taraed a
deaf ear. The g issips soon had the
couple squarely mated, and every
one was waiting for invitations to
the wedding.
Without a word of warning the
groom to be deserted his lady love
and gave to another girl, a stran
ger, the honor of bearing the name
of Foley. Immediately Miss Moore
became the object of hnmiliating
pity, and rather, than endure the
sufferings which her sensitiveness
subjected her to,she moved to Wil
liamsport, Pa- Iu the meantime
Mr. Foley prospered, and Miss
Moore nursed her wrath, and wait
ed for an opportunity for ven
geance.
It came fifteen years after her
abandonment by Foley, the death
of the woman for whom she had
been jilted once more placing Fo
ley on the matrimonial market.
Miss Moore then returned to her
girlhood home, and encountering
Foley as if by chance, the acquaint
ance was soon renewed, the “ques
tion” asked and auswered favora
bly a second time, and on the ap
pointed morning the bridal party
met in the church.
To the time honored ceremony
query Foley returned an unhesitat
ing “yes.” The priest then turned
to the bride elect with the interro
gation: “Will you, Margaret Moore,
have this man, Timothy Foley, for
your lawfnlly wedded husbandb?”
Miss Moore faltered a moment,
then stammered out: “Is it too
late to say no?” “No,” replied the
astonished priest. “Then I will
not,” rejoined Miss Moore, and
breaking through the bridal party
fled from the church, leaving the
discomfitted groom to take the cru
el rebuff as best he might.
All of which constitutes a valua
ble lesson for the fickle minded of
both sexes. Don’t think you can
jilt with impunity, for thing3 are
so uncertain in this world of ours
that the wheel of time may bring
the jilted an opportunity of sweet
reveDge which will be as disas
trous to the jiltee as was the mis
hap which befell Timothy Foley.
The function of “bloom,” the
white, powdry coating on some
leaves and fruits, is not generally
known. According to some notes
by the late Prof. H. L. Jones of
Oberlin College, published by bis
assistant, Miss Eoberta Reynolds,
it has been shown by a series of
experiments that bloom serves to
check the transpiration of water.
With several forms of agave, which
were tested, the loss from this
cause when the bloom was remov
ed was from one and one-third to
two and one-third as great as when
it was left on the leaves.
“Made in Georgia.’ 1
Savannah Morning News.
There is a law in Germany which
provides that all manufactured
products shipped out of that coun
try shall bear the imprint “Made
in Germany.” The legend serves
a two-fold purpose: it advertises
German wares, and it inspires the
makers aud shippers of them to
see to it that a high standard of
merit is maintained. If inferior
articles were sold with the imprint,
it would soon be detrimental to the
export business.
Georgia is rapidly becoming a
manufacturing state, in various
lines. It might not be a bad idea
for the Georgia manufacturers to
copy the Germans to the extent of
branding their wares, “Made in
Georgia.” We confidently believe
that those articles which are made
in Georgia are of superior excel
lence. Take Georgia syrup for in
stance. There is nothing in the
world of the kind that is finer in
flavor, and more wholsome to the
consumer. It is “sweeter thau hon
ey in the honeycomb,” according
to an expert in saccharine articles.
Maple syrup is not more palatable
or more healthful; nevertheless the
Georgia article is sold for about
half the price of the maple syrup.
The reason is that Georgia syrup
is not widely enough known. Ma
kers are content to supply a limit
ed market under the ordinary
brand of “cane syrup,” or jast plain
syrup” without any qualification
whatever. If the merits of the de
lectable article were more widely
known, and each genuine package
of it carried the legend, “Made in
Georgia,” the demand would short
ly be much extended and the price
improved.
Georgia syrup, however, is only
one stem. Take textile fabrics.
The mills of Georgia are new. They
are filled with modern machinery.
The goods they turnout are, there
fore, the products of the latest im
proved apparatus. Naturally, they
are of better grade than goods
made on old and inferior machines.
“Made in Georgia” stamped on
sheetings, shirtings and’ drills
would attract the attention of pur-
chasers to the localities of the mills,
and one satisfactory order would
be followed by others. Purchas
ers would insist on having the
“Made in Georgia” kind. The
sentence would become a trade
mark, signifying that articles bear
ing it were of highest grade, and
Georgia manufacturers, for their
pecuniary interests and as a matter
of state pride, would see to it that
qualities were always kept up to
the standard.
The Hardwood Industry.
Macon Telegraph.
What bids fair to be one of the
most profitable industries ia the
state, or in the Sonth, is the bard
wood industry which is just becom
ing a part of the business of enter
prising men of this section.
A few weeks ago The Telegraph
published a story telling of the
large business that was being de
veloped in this line by Mr. Mon
roe Philips and others of Twiggs
county. The story reached for
eign ears, and Mr. Philips has re
ceived orders from all parts of the
United States aod also from other
countries. One order alone, from
Germany, called for 1,000 car loads.
Mr. Philips has been forced to de
cline all of these orders, as he has
contracted with a New York firm
to take the entire output of his
mills on the Ocmnlgee.
Mr. Philips ba3 associated with
him some gentlemen with capital,
and says that he daily receives or
dars for thousands of feet of lum
ber of the different hard wood
trees on the Ojmulgee which he
cannot fill. The capacity of his
saw mills has been doubled, but
every foot of lumber he can get
out is taken by a New York firm
at handsome prices.
All down the banks of the Oe-
mulgee there are millions of feet
of the most valuable timber in the
world, and President George A.
Smith of the Macon Navigation
Company has contended for years
that there were vast fortunes in
this industry, aud it waB with a
view to developing the regions be
low Macon, where these forests of
wood are, that he put on foot the
movement to build a line of boats
on the Ocmulgee.
There is every variety of hard
wood that is known to the cabinet
maker along the banks of the river,
and there are many places along
the banks of the river in the midst
of the vast forests that have never
been trod by the foot of man,
though there is a veritable gold
mine in the rough coated monsters
that have weathered the seasons of
hundreds of years.

The ten public iced-water fonn
tains in Boston have cost the city
during the summer 40 cents apiece
per day. Water Commissioner
Murphy, is how making arrange
ments whereby ice will be cut this
winter from reservoirs belonging
to the department, thereby making
the cost of the free iced water next
summer merely nominal.
What has become of onr Monroe
doctrine? We once refused to al
low that any European power
could acquire territory in this
hemisphere, and Secretary Olney
informed Lord Salisbury in that
wonderful dispatch about the Ven
ezuelan boundary that England
must expect to clear out from Can
ada and the West Indies. Onr po
sition was this: “European powers
must keep out of this Western
hemisphere, just as we keep out
of the Eastern.” But now we are
goiug into the Eastern hemisphere
by seizing the Philippines. We
might dominate one hemisphere,
but we can hardly expect to lord it
over both. The Monroe doctrine
1 ds not elastic enough to be stretch
ed over the entire globe. When
Germany some day seizes a prov
ince in Southern Brazil we shall
have no logical basis on which to
rest a demand for her to clear out.
