Alleged Hidden Meaning In “Sing a
8ong of Sixpence.”
Certain clever people who are
wiser than their neighbors in find
ing out things believe they have dis
covered a, hidden meaning in many
of the old nursery rhymes. You
will be amused to hear what is their
opinion about "Sing a Song of Six
pence.” In their opinion it is ap
parently a sort of allegory.
The four and twenty blackbirds,
they say, represent the twenty-four
hours. The bottom of the pie is the
world, while the top crust is the
sky that overarches it. The open
ing of the pie is the day dawn, when
the birds begin to sing, and surely

PERRY, GA.
such a sight is fit for a king,
in
The king, who is represented sit-
his parlor counting out his
is the sun, while the gold-
pieces that slip through his fingers
as he counts them are the golden
sunbeams.
The queen; who sits in the dark
kitchen, is the moon, and the honey
with which she regaleg herself is the
moonlight.
Tho industrious maid, who is in
the garden at work before her king,
the sun, has risen, is the day dawn,
and the clothes she hangs out are
the clouds. The bird who so trag-
, _"* r "nipping off
her nose” is the sunset. So we have
the whole day, if not in a nutshell,
in a pie.
Queer Fish.
Which fish have the power of
floating and swimming back down
ward ?
This peculiar property is possess-
d:
ed only by the diodon and tho tetro-
don, two allied families of tropical
fishes whidh are popularly known as
[lobefish. The tetrodon is also
ound off the coasts of Cornwall
and Ireland. Tho faculty is due to
tho fact that tho skill of the abdo
men of these fishes is much looser
than it is on the back, and they
have tho power to inflate this loose
skin by swallowing air through tho
gullet. This, of course, enables
them to turn over at will, and, al
though the groat French naturalist
Cuvier did not believe that when
in this position they could swim as
they pleased, Darwin corrected him
and proved that they could swim
both forward and backward in this
position.
It is, of course, well known that
the shark and the dogfish, owing to
the peculiar position of tho under
jaw, are obliged to turn on their
backs before thoy can seize their
prey, and while in this 1 position
they are able to swim for a very con
siderable distance. This, however,
is done by the muscular force of
the fins and tail and not through
any special apparatus, such as the
fir
globefish possesses.
One of Secretary 8haw’s Stories.
Secretary Sliaw tells this story of
Iowa
his Becond race for governor in
when he failed to carry his own
county: He was chatting with a
witty Irish cobbler, who dryly con
gratulated him on his election.
"Yes, Fmfrglad to 'be elected,” said
Mr. Shaw, "but I’m sorry to have
lost the county where I live.” Pat
didn’t say a word. "What do you
think about it, Pat?” persisted the
successful candidate. "Begorra, it’s
the divil’s own pity ye didn’t live in
every county of the shtate,” was the
explosive reply.

He learned to do housekeeping
The way It should be done;

A prize he might have won.

With courage quite majeBtlo

Tintoretto’s "Paradise.”
Tintoretto’s great mastorpiece,
"Paradise,” in the ducal palace at
Venice, suffered but slightly from
the fall of the St. Mark’s campa
nile. A little careful work by the
clever Italian restorers and the
great painting will be, it is said, in
as good condition as before tho
nearby bell tower collapsed.

FLAG ON TWO CENT STAMPS.

composed of boys and girls, who

leisure hours and send them to sick
children.
BRING US YOUR JOB WORK. SATIS
FACTION GUARANEETD.
For the first time since 1869, says
the Boston Transcript, the postof
fice department, with the issuance
of the new series of stamps now in
preparation, will make use of the
American flag in one of its designs.
This will be a part of the two cent
stamp, which, by the way, will bear
little resemblance to the one now
current. The familiar portrait of
Washington will be succeeded by a
photograph taken from Gilbert
Stuart’s famous painting. This
bust of Washington, so long known
to the stamp using public, was
drawn frpm lloudon’s profile cast.
Stamp experts think that this new
two cent stamp, with its superb like
ness of Washington, its draped
flags, its wreaths of laurel leaves in
tho lower corners and the general
balance of text and artistic effect,
together with the remarkable ex
cellence of the mechanical work,
will make this the finest postage
Btamp ever produced.
Clover Decoration.
Very pretty and delightfully sim
ple in effect is a water set in Aus
trian glass. There’s a rather tall
pitcher and six glasses, and the glass
is frosted. Frosted glass is usually
pretty, but in this case it is unusual
ly pretty, because it forms so dainty
a background for tha decoration of
throe and four leaved clovers.
These clovers are in enamel color
ings, und every detail and every
pretty shading of every leaf is car
ried out perfectly. Ui"
nfortunately
it is not* cheap, the figure being
$29.60, which really is cheap when
the work is considered. So dainty
are the clover leaves that one takes
them for exquisite maidenhair ferns
at a distance of a foot or two. After
all, the subject doesn’t count for so
much. It’s the way it is treated.
Modern Colossus.
Living in Dover, England, is a
man who is an amazing sight, and
for the reason that he weighs not
less than 733 pounds. Moreover,
his relatives say that his weight in
creases every year. He has not been
able to walk for the last eight years,
and he passes his days in an im-
Ih * ' ‘ ‘
mense chair, which is on wheels,
and therefore can be rolled from
place to place.
At night the giant is wheeled to
his bed, into which he hoists him
self by means of a* trapeze.
A traveling showman recently of
fered this fat man $300 a day if he
would exhibit himself, but the of
fer was declined. "I don’t need
money,” said the fat man, "and
I’m too fond of my family to leave
them.”
To Save Tin Cans.
When a can 1 rusts through where
the sides join the bottom, it is not
necessary to throw it away, as the
holes may he effectually stopped by
covering them inside with a small
piece ot linen dipped in copal var
ill
nish, the tin being previously thor
oughly dried. When the varnish
hardens by drying, the can will be
perfectly water tight.
' Ground Frozen 225 Feet. !_.
William Boone, a miner, says the

down from Dawson City, Klondike,
to spend the winter with relatives
at La Plata, says he has dug 225
feet deep in the ground of his
claim, but has never been able to
reach a point where the ground was
not frozen hard.
