A CRYHTATjIZED FARM.
Every farmer lias picked- up
many a time o:i bis place beau
tiful crystals Some
where, somehow, some time, a
bit of silica had been cluwigeil
into a crystal; and a crystal it
will remain forever and forever.
And sometime, somewhere,
somehow, bits of pure carbon,
1 scattered throughout the world,
changed through crystalization
into what we call diamonds
(not found on farms,) and n
diamond it will remain forever
and forever.
In our studies in humanity
re find states finite similar to
thatof crystalization. Politi
cal parties, politicians, tbeolo
gains, a id all —the wisest and
best of n are apt to get into a.
state or condition in which we
never change. The hardest
part of middle life and old age
ii that hy deyr 'es we are so apt
to erystalile. We find so often
that youth alone is the time for
learning and for transition,
whereas, our whole life should
be a state of transition and a
constant progression.
I am not sure but that the
farmer more easily fulls into a
rut or a line or a policy and
stays there —than other profes
sions. There are thousands and
tens of thousands of them f am
sine who never change. They
farm in the same manner, plant
the same seid and grow the
sumo cultures for half a century
at a time.
They make sport of all ex
perimental station reports, autl
all book farming. They don’t
take an agricultural paper.
They go cn year ufter year,
treading in the same tracks and
thinking the same thoughts.
They are in i. state of abso
l .ti crystalization. How many
crystalized farms amt how many
crystalized fanners nro hero in

01' H FIRST LOCOMOTIVE 1
The first locomotive which
ev r tamed a uhcd upon an
American track did not run to j
and from any of 1 iie great cities,
hut was us* d in the huckwnod
of Pennsylvania The story of
this primitive engine is told l>\
Alfred Mathews in ‘lie Engi
neering Magazine.
The wilderness of North-east
ern Pennsylvania was penetra
ted hy two Prni.sylvania C)mi
kers, John and Maurice Warts,
about 1810. They heroically
began and pushed forward the
great work which later was ns
sunied and carried to’comple
tion by the Delaware ami Hud
son Canal Company—that ol
getting coal from .the Lacka
wanna Valley into New York.
It had been their original pur
pose to use horse power on the
milroad, with stationary en
gines at the planes, as at pivs
unj,, but the successful experi
ments with the railroad loco- i
motive in England led them to
try that new form and appliea- 1
lion of power.
The Stourlflfidge Lion, as this,
pioneer locomotive was calhd
was one of three oitiered hy the
company’s civil engineer, Ho-j
ratio Allen, in England. The |
*Jiion’ was built by Poster, lias j
trick X Co-, at Htourbridge
and the other tv o were built by
Stevenson, who extended many J
courtesies to the American en- ;
gineer. Thus it happened that
early in 1828 the first ordei
placed in England for locomo
tives, after the successful work-*
jug of those on the Stockton
and Darlington road, was from
far-away America.
The Stourbridge Lion reached
this country and was given.a
trial in New York City on June
11, Ih2V>, which proved highly
successful. The- locomotive was
fired w ith anthracite coal Horn
tl'u p, ln\\an. and Hudson Com
pany's Lackawanna mines.
ft wus to put thni coal on the
market that the company’s op
erations were carried on, and
this roul mining caused the ad
vent of the locomotive in Amer
ica as well as in England.

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, "TUESDAY, MAY 25th 1897.
A TENDER-HEARTED GOV
ERNOR.
In the private office of Gov.
Atkinson at noon today'there
was a touching testimony of
the stress of (he times. There
on the richly upholstered lounge
lay a little light haired girl of
six or eight summers, whose
blue calico dress was homely
enough, though her hair was a*
soft as silk. Little common
shoes clothed tired little feet
that had trumped many weary
miles. Sitting limp and tired
on one of the handsome chairs
was a little boy of twelve. And
on another chair with his el
bow on the table and his head
resting on his hands, snt the
weary father of these children,
a man of fifty or more years
|He was tired and his shoes
! were dusty. He hud walked
1 75 miles, carrying the little
one when she could not walk.
The boy had walked all live
I way.
Wlmt a picture for a painter!
The one word eviction tells
the whole story. The family
had been turned out of their
homestead at Harmony Grove,
and there was no mother.
The father, doing his best, to
meet this double responsibility,
without money and without
friends, set. his face toward the
capitol, resolved to try an ap
peal to the Governor. The
same ignorance of law wliiAh
makes him think the Governor
can reinstate him in the home
stead doubtless caused the man
to fall into some legal pitfall.
So they tramped to Atlanta
by slow and painful stages.
When the* man had told his
story the boy bad seated him
self on a chair and the little
girl was nodding in another,
A big far rolled down the
Governor's cheek as he. tender
ly lifted the little one and laid
her down on the lounge. There
she slept the sweet sleep of
childhood, all unconscious of j
their painful predicament. Not j
so her good father. Mental I
distress wae added to weariness
of hotly-, and he could not have]
slept had he been on a conch I
of down. The poor man’s face
was sad, almost, hopeless, when
the Governor told him that he
had no power to interfere with
the process of the court.
What hi> could not do as a
Governor he did ns a man
Leaving the tired group in his
office, with the little one still
sleeping on the ‘lounge, the
Governor went through the cap
itol telling the simple, sad
storv* and, meeting with quick
responses, in a short time he
made up a purse which he gave
to the man.
The name of the father of j
this family is J. M. Hood, and
he comes from Harmony Grove.
—Atlanta Journal, 18th inst.
WHY HE QUIT.
A professional gentleman,
who was accustomed to tuke his
morning glass, stepped into* a
saloon and going up to the bar
called for whiskey. A seedy in
dividual stepped up to him and
said; “I say, ’Squire, can’t
you ask un uufortqnate fellr.\y
so join you?”
He was annoyed hy t he man's
familiarity, and roughly told
him, “I am not in the habit of
drinking with trumps.”
The tramp replied: “You
need not be so cranky and high
minded my Irit nd J venture
to say that. I am of just as good
family as you are, have just as
good an education, and before
I took to drink was just as ro
spectable as yoti are. Wlmt is
more, I always knew how toact
tbe gentleman. Take my word
for it, you -I ieljj tojjohu Barley
corn and he w>B bring you to
just the snipe place I am.”
Struck wish his words, the
gentleman *t)t d°w n l»i» dia MS
and turned to look at him,
His eyes were blood-shot, his
face bloated, bis boots inismut*
ed. Ids elotlijng lilt hy. “Then
aaa it drinking that made yon
(ike this?”
“Y'es, it was; and it w ill bring
you to the same if you stick to
it,”
Picking up his untouched
glass, he poured Die contents
upon the (jour audaaid; “Then
its time i quit,” and left the
saloon never to enter it ugaiii,

acter who is a stranger to God.
A DUEL WITH ONIONS.
Shortly before the revolution,
when the air was heavily charg
ed with forebodings of the np
proaching strugg’e, „ld Majoi
Putnam happened to be in Bos
ton, says Harper’s Round Ta
ble.
Ihe major disliked the red
cents, and sometimes inveighed
, against, their arrogant supercil
iousness in no gentle terms.
One day an officer of hi
majesty’s regulars overhead
Putnam assert tha* the pro
vincial army, untutored it
arms ns they were, would tight
with the courage of trained «ol
diers. The officer resented the
assertion, and after some hot
words challenged the major to
tight a duel, provided In* dared
to tight.
“Dare!” shouted Put until*
“Why, at. any moment; but I
choose the weapons.”
“Name them,” haughtily re
plied t lie officer.
“Two kegs of gtinpMvder; tin
time, tomorrow; the distance,
ten paces; the tight to be ns
follows: You to sit oil one keg
I on the other, a fuse to be at
taclied to each and lighted, and
the one who holds out the long
est shall be declared the win
ter,”
There was nothing for the
officer to do but accept, the un
ilsunl weapons, nnd on thefol
low ing day at the • appointed
time and place the combatants
took their seats upon the kegs
of gtm-powder. The officer
was deathly pale and watched
the growing danger w ith di'iat
ing eyes. At hi9t he could
stand it no longer, and with a
leap lie left his keg and raged)
like a madman out of sight.
When he bad gone Old Put
laughingly kicked the burning
fuse away nnd disclosed to IPs
friends a keg of onions.
When the matter came t>
light the officer was subjected
to tln* laugh and gibes of tin
cut irocom ma nd.
A PENNY'S WORTH OF
LIGHT.
By means of a nickle in the
slot machine attached to a gas
meter, a French inventor ion
dcred it possible for Paiisians
to take a'penny’s worth of light
when they want it and escaj'i 1
paying for gas they do not want
or do not get. A sou, equal ii
value to two American cents,
is dropped into the slot, and
immediately the gas begins to
flow. When two cents worth
of gas has been burned the do"
automatically ceases, and if the
consumer wants more light Ik
must put more money into tic
machine.
The inventors think tbis de
vice will suit people who want
to know exactly how much tiny
must pay for their lights.
The bent advice to newspaper
subscribers we remember u
have seen is the following fmo
the Springfield Republican:
“When you are convinced
that a paper is dishom-l and
deceitful stop it. When <•<>>»
vinced that ifis unclean, stop
it. When it lacks enterprise
and fails to giyo you the news,
stop it.
“But don’t atop a paper that

HAD KILLED THOUSANDS.
HIS CAREER FINALLY ITT SHORT
IN A DUEL W ITH A NEIGHBOR.
Wavcrobh, On,. May 12. —
Editor Albert C. Sweat, of the j
Douglas Breeze, was here last;
night, and among the interest- j
ing things he told concerning
UotTee county was the follow-1
ing:
One of the most remarkable
hunters of South Georgia was
Elijah Youngblood, of Shep
herd post office, ten miles from
Douglas, in Coffee county. Mr.
\oimgblood and his neighbor,
John Tanner, got, into a dispute
about three years ago over the
burning of their forests, and
they height a duel, Young
blood was slain, and Tanner
was tried for murder and ac
quitted. Youngblood was 72
years old. lie boasted of hav
ing killed over 1,000 deer, 1,000
alligators and 1,000 rattle
snakes. His greatest sport, was
hunting deer, and lie was fond
of his dogs. One day a rattle
siiakesnake hit bis favorite dog,
causing deatli; nnd Mr. Young
blood declared tlint be would
not rest until be killed a thou
sand rattlesnakes.
At another time two of his
dogs were eaten by alligators
on a deer hunt, ami from that
■lay he vowed vengeance against
alligators.
Mr. Youngblood made numer
ous incursions through tlieOke
t'enokee swamp in Georgia, and
tho everglades of Florida for
the purpose of killing rattle
snakes and alligators, and when
lie. died his house was a sort of
museum of deer horns, rattle
snake rattles and alligator
teeth. A bet ter mn rksmnn t linn
Youngblood was hard to find
but, he fell ingloriously in a du
el with ft neighbor. The name
of Youngblood will ever be re
membered i-ii Coffee county ns

ful farmer and a great hunter, j
HOW TO WASH BLANKETS.
Woolen blankets seldom look
the same after they are washed.
They turn yellow and lose that
dainty flufflness that made them
look at first so beautiful. How
ever, when soiled, they must be
cleaned, so select a sunshiny
day for the purpose, that they
may dry rapidly and without
streaks. Prepare an abundance
of hot. suds, using the best soup.
Right here is a diversity of
opinion among experts. Some
prefer warm water, others hot
water, and others, again, cold
water. Take your choice; but
remember one tiling, do not
change the temperature, for
that is what thickens the blank
et. and makes it, stiff and hard.
If your first suds be of hot wa
ter, bnvo the second of hot wa
ter, and rinse in hot water —
and the same with warm or
cold.
If hot water is decided upon,
dissolve half a pound of borax
in five gallons of water, so hot
that, you can just bear your
hand iu it. Wash one blanket
at a time, move it back and
forth, rub the dirty spots, wash
fast and wring lightly.
Then put it into another suds,
hot, and with borax as before;
wash in the same manner, and,
after wringing thoroughly, rinse
in hot water, and again in clear
hot water, in which has been
dropped n little indigo.
Now your blanket is ready
for bunging up, uud there is an
an. in this process, Stretch a
strong clothes-line so that the
blanket may catch all the sun
shine possible, nnd also be well
shaken by the wind; throw just
enough of it over the line so
that it may he pinned to the up
per side, and stiup tho wet
blanket a few times to get out
wrinkles and ‘make it dry
straight.
When dry, tuke it down find
fold it exactly true. All this
work should lie done rapidly,
for the chief point in washing
woolens is not to let them soak.

An Arkaneas editor gives his
liuquents a gentle hint iu this

“It is said that a New Y’ork

IAN ABLE POLICE HORSE.
The cleverest horse on the
) New York police force is Pom
pey, whose registered number
on iho books of the department
is 128. Let, any horse or police
man who disputes this state-
Lment step forward and prove to
the contrary.
Poiupey gave an exhibition
of his talents for the benefit of
The Sunday Jcnnml. lie can
count and understand ordinary
conversation. He is, in fact,
almost as intelligeht ns a police
man.
He is the steed and insepara
ble companion of Roundsman
Kodmund P. Keresey of the
Thirty-eighth precinct, which
is in the annexed district. Pom
pey is remarkable nos alone for
his Intents; lie lias also a his
tory, which is full of human in
terest. k
* His intelligence developed so
rapidly fliut Keresey began to
teach him a few tricks. He
would tickle him under the
right fore leg with a straw and
say, “Pompey, give me your
right, hand. ” At first the horse
would raise his leg to avoid the
tickling, but soon he learned to
do tlu* same thing merely when
he heard the words “right
hand.”
The same process taught him
to offer his left foot when polite
ly asked to do so. His educa
tion went on steadily, nnd lie
learned to raise his right or left
kind leg at a mere word from
his mnstpr. Keresey made the
horse understand tlian when lie
used the word “papa” in con
! versation he referred to him
self—Keresey. Tims the police
man would say. “Give papa
your right hand,” and the ani
mal would understand perfect
ly. The horse’s name also was
varied occasionally to “Papa’s
Boy.”
An interesting feature ol
Pomp.iy’s education was the
rapidity with which he acquired
knowledge. In two weeks he
raised his right foot when toll,
to. H.is teacher had fewer dif
ficulties than most men who
train animals. Dogs are usual
ly found to be inattentive and
unduly exuberant. The supe
riority of the horse lies nut in
greater intelligence, but in great
er docility.
The next stage was to make i
Pompey say “Yes” or “No.”
A tickling on the side of the
neck caused him to move his
head sidewise. This was ac r
companied by the command,
“Say no," Finally the tickling
could be omitted. A titillhtion
of Iris chin taught him to move
his head up a.:d down, which
meant yes.
After this I’ompey began to j
learn to count. A light whip
was placed on one of his fore
legs near the ground. He raised
the leg to avoid the obstacle and 1
tapped thqgr.ound light ly. Kere
soy at the same time said,
“Count one.’' Then he count
ed one without the use of the I
whip. This process was con tin-1
tied until Pompey was able to
count six, which is his present
state of proticoncy.
“Say, it’s ft o’clock, time for
relief,” says Keresey, nnd Pom .
pey gravely scrapes Ins lore foot
six times on llie ground.
He takes two steps to the)
right or left when told to do
so, and in luct has so many ue
com pi i|h incuts that they can

“You must be on your gtlod A

for the minister is to take din

“Well, I know lie is fond of
lisli, so I bought quite a string
of small river fish, and several
large ones from the dam.”
“1 am net much at doing the
honors when we have a minister y
at the table.’’ said George; “but
1 guess we can get through with
it all right.”
Half an hour later they were
seated at the table and a bless

ister. A little, nervously the
head of the house began
mg out the vegetables, and
ing to the guest said:
“Will you have some of the
little river lish or woulif you j
piefer some of the dam big
fish. ”
The warning kick from under
the table from his wife was nn- ,
necessary. He knew he had ‘
blundered and cold beads of
perspiration started out ou his
forehead. •
“0 I mean”—trying to repair
the error—“will you try some
of the dam river fish or some of
the big fish?”
Worse, and more of it! His
daughter slyly pulled Ins coat

“That is, would you like some
of the river fish or some of else
other dam fish?” • 1

'TIB A FACT.
A Texas editor, in speaking
of people wl o dw not subscribe
for newspajiers, very properly
says:
“When you ask a man to*
subscribe for your paper and he
says, ‘Ch, I’m taking more pa
pers than 1 can read, and be
sides times are plagued tight,’
immediately apologise to him
tor the mistake and leave him.
| Life is too short to teach a jack
i ass to sing soprano. All gentle*
! men nowadays read news|>a|>ers
—and lots of them.
“Show us a man who lives
for years in town or country
and never subscribes for the
paper there, and Wb’ll show
you a man whose head i* shaped
like a piece of pie with the
p >iiit up.
“A country newspaper is an
institution that works day and
night for every decent man in
the country; therefore, every
decent man is in honor bound
to assist in its support. The
greatest trouble is that some
s \ell-headed galoots fancy t hat
tuy are making the editor a
present when they take his pa
per. Wo have the profoundest
sympathy foi the man who Uvea
in this country for years and
never subscribe*for his county
paper.
