T he Title of “Mrs.”
t t * Mrs was in olden time ap-
, T jf ' unmarried as well as to mar-
Pf'„,en and to young as well as
leU < r Walter Scott spoke of Joau-
^ i.irripd) ns Mrs. Joanna Baillie.
.b it was not perhaps so umver-
. ' -uldress <]iiite young children as
those over twenty-one by the
" of Mrs., yet it was frequently

110 curs in the register of burials

Wonderful Insect Vitality.
lit is a standing puzzle to the ento-
Ljjists how frail little insects of the
osquitonnd butterfly order can brave
hg cold of an arctic winter and yet re-
iu t beir vitality. The larva of the
liiliweed butterfly has been exposed
a,; artiiivial blast GS degrees below
T0 Taken out of range of this arti-
Lj blizzard and gradually “thawed
Lp this same worm was able to creep
less than half an hour afterward.
■ dies have beeu found flitting joy-
j,.jv about in the highest latitude man
ever penetrated, and the mosqui-
>es of Alaska and Greenland are
to be the healthiest specimens
k that race of little pests.
A Wet Umbrella.
Never leave an umbrella standing on
the point in the ordinary way when
wet. The water trickles down, spoiling
the silk and making the wires rusty. It
is also a mistake to open it and leave it
standing, as this stretches the silk,
making it baggy so that it is impossi
ble to fold it smoothly. The proper
way is to shake out as much of the
water as possible, then stand the um
brella on4ts handle to drain.
Ensraprement Ring’s.
The custom of giving engagement
jinss ranks back to long before the
Kristian era. With the ancient Egyp-
L s engagement rings were always
if iron, to indicate the mutual sacri-
Le of liberty of the contracting par
ties.
One of the very earliest adornments
bf betrothal rings was a loadstone,
rliich symbolized the attractive force
rhich drew a maiden from her own
family circle into that of her husband,
ft is believed that the fourth finger
is always been the bride’s ring finger.

A Barrier.
“What have you in the way of beef
steak today?” asked the cheerful cus
tomer who hadn’t paid his bill.
“Well,” replied the frank butcher, “I
reckon about the only thiug in the way
is its price.”—Baltimore News.
Tlie Light That Failed.
Mrs. A.—When I was engaged to my
husband, he was the very light of my
existence.
Miss D.—And now—
Mrs. A.—The light goes out every
night.—Brooklyn Life,
Things do not go wrong of them-

A scientist asserts that the heart of
an infant aged 3 years was removed
thirty hours after death and subjected
to a process of artificial circulation,
with the result that the organ began
to pulsate after twenty minutes’ treat
ment, and its regular beats continued
for an hour. The bearing of this exper
iment on reviving apparentlv drowned
persons is evident. There is a much
more extraordintry case of revival of
dormant vitality in the animalcules
known as rotifers. These can be kept in
a dried state for months, yet on the
addition of water they resume their
functions with renewed vigor- Roti
fers, be it added, are by no means
lowly organized creatures.
Pearson's
* MAGAZINE
for 1903
It is important to the magazine readers of the country that
some announcement be made regarding the literary features
of Pearson’s for 1903—important because the new manage
ment which took hold some months ago decided upon a radical
and pronounced improvement in the character of the maga
zine. The policy of making Pearson’s as much different
■ v « m w -v- -vp' f rom the others as possible, will be carried out to the letter.
Mar.v excellent stories and special 'articles have already been contracted for, but it is not possible
for us to here mention more than a few of them. We will call this a nut-shell announcement. 4

porium will be well filled with choice

Will Quit Awhile.
Mr. T. V. Eberhart returned the lat
ter part of last week from Athens,
where he went to investigate the put
ting down of macadam. He reported
to the city council last Thursday night
that the work here was not being done
right, and the council has decided to
hol t up on it for awhile.. He states
that the street must first be properly
crowned, then four inches of crushed
stone put down and rolled, then a sec
ond layer of stone of same thickness
put down and rolled, the last layer to
he two inches thick and rolled, making
the macadam ten inches thick. He
says, further that the work should be
done in the summer, and that the
street should he rolled after every
rain. He states -that the curbing has
not been put down right either, and
that there is a defect in the arrange
ment for drainage where the macadrm
has been puw down, hut which is being
remedied.
When the work of putting down the
macadam begins again the city will
have had more experience, and can do
it at less expense and do i* better.
Should Have Met In Gainesville.
The Georgia JBar Association
meets at Tallulah Falls this year
on the 2d, 8d and 4th. of July.
This meeting should have been
held m Gainesville, Judge Alton
B. Parker of New York, promi
nently spoken ^of as a candidate
for President, will address the as
sociation on the 4th. As many
people ixi Gainesville would like to
see and hear this distinguished
gentleman they will be present up
on this occasion. It would have
been the proper thing for Gaines
ville to have secured this meeting,
which she could have gotten with
a little effort, and the town would
have overflowed with vis
itors at the very season of the
year when we want them. And,
too, Gainesville might have been
the place for the starting of “the
real” Parker boom for the Presi
dency.

Yeates, where they are gathering
information along tbe lines de
sired. Mr. Whelchel is a Georgia

He is a graduate of the state uni--
versity of the class of 1902 asdS
has many friends in the city* who.
are glad to see him among them.—-
