Atkinson Names Him and He Is Confirmed by the Senate. While Governor Atkinson has main tained a discreet silence as to who he would appoint railroad commissioner to succeed Mr. Jordan, the general opinion for the past few days was al¬ most unanimous that the plum would fall to Hon. T. C. Crenshaw. There was little surprise, therefore, when his name was sent into the senate Tuesday morning for confirmation,and without any ceremony the senate promptly ratified the choice o’ the governor, Mr. Crenshaw is probably as well known as any man in Georgia. He has been actively engaged in politics since be came to georgia, not only on his own account, but in the contests his friends have nude for office, and he has ever been counted a loyal sup por.ee to the eao« he e.poo.ei when Mr Clerel.r. 1 ™ first elected president, Mr. Crenshaw was .ppoln.e.l collector of ih.ereai reve nne for Georgia and served four years, With the advent of a republican ad ministration he went out of office, bat was appointed claim adjuster for the Central Railroad of Georgia, and has held that position through ail the changes of that company’s affairs, up to now. - “ATLANTA DAY.” The M hole _ City ---^ Turns Out _ to Take _ In . the Exposition. Not in the history of the city of At lanta has there ever been such an out c;;sanss? tborooghfare , treel , .lweye tbe gayest long of the city, presented onlv a se r j es 0 f barred and locked doors, and the patrolmen along the retail street street were trying the doors, just as they do when coming in on the night Tvateh. The only place where the usual life and stir was seen was in the neighborhood of the anion depot, vhere steady streams of people poured ?"* ^ ™ .^reet from the mam en trance, and wnere the call and cry of the porter was heard as lond and bois terous as usual. Alabama street, the street of banks and wholesale stores, was deserted. No smoke came from the tall chim neys of the cotton factories, and the hum of industry was hushed, and throughout the city the trip hammers, the forges, the lathes were still, and a sfienee ike that of Sunday hung over the city , When the weather man announced over the telephone in the early morn mg that he was unable to announce anything favorable in reference to the weather, one was inclined to believe him. When the daylight opened it was one of the dampest, most disagree able, most penetrating days that At ianta had seen in a long time—and as it turned out, Atlanta day, tbe day of all days, proved to %e the most disa greeable since the exposition opened. And yet there was every indication at EO on of the largest attendance vr‘ which has vet favored the exposition. hen xh e people awoke on the murky mo rning, they found out that the day would not be postponed and they de termined to make the most of it.

It is that singers _ brea.ae true through the mouth, but it is only while singing that they resort to this method of breathing, and it is done onlv and sol.ir , becse aofhc.eot breath cannot oe taken into tae lungs at a sing i e inspiration to balance the great amount given out in the pro¬ duction of the singing tone. The de maad is . very great and tae . supply must be equal to the demand for sing ing production. On the other hand, no one has ever seen a thoroughbed singer “ while exercising, * other than the Toi voice, e ^ toe his ms or or heT acr monih mourn ior for the purposes of breathing. This saves the throat from becoming excessively ^ »........-..... •* I ’“t ' t the lungs well protected from dust and microbes of disease, “The cause for mouth breathing lies in defective nasal passages. This nasal obstruction is known as adenoid. It is a kind of vegetation growth at the point where the nose and throat j. ig the caase of that common „ nasal C3tarrh . I t - will also caase enrome . ‘laryngitis, „ which is a source of nntoi l annoy ance. To remedy any such trouble it is necessary to have the ot-truction removed. The old method was to burn, but the physicians of today con aider th:s dangerous. It is a sim; ie __ 3 to remove them with the tre P**, ^ or knife. It takes but a few minutes and is almost painless. This bony growth is often the cause of earac he among children. This is due to the pressure upon the eustaeman tube, which leads to the ear,and often results in complete deafness. It is advisable, therefore, to attend to any such growth as soon as it be¬ comes noticeable. The first symptoms are those breathing through the mouth and “snoring” while asleep.

Then he turned upon his ride, prepared for his fate. The workmen at the new Cliff House, which is in tae course of construct: :a, were attracted to the unusual scene, and W. G. Blunt aud L.

Then they prepared lor his removal to the shore, a task that was by no means an easy one. The great fellow weighed 4,890 pounds, and was over fifteen feet long and eight feet nine inches around the body. The peculiar marks of age—a long, shaggy mane and a foretop of hair some five inches in length—proved to those who knew him well that the dead sea lion was really “Ben Butler.” There had been war on the seal rocks and “Ben Butler” had got the worst of several hard battles. His wounds were fresh but not deep. It required twelve men and four horses to remove the body. They had all they could do to convey the charge to the museum. The work occupied nearly the whole day. Mayor Sutro will have the carcass properly prepared by a taxidermist and plac«d in the Cliff House inuseuun. — ^an Fi'accisco Gall- The “Komi” is Japan. Dogs of our common breeds were unknown in Japan until the advent of British and American visitors, but are now quite common, as the people take kindly to any and all pets, and tre 3 t dogs in particular much better than they are treated anywhere else in the world. The dog has to modify his habits when he reaches Japan, however, as he gets no meat. So the . son and grandson of the canine im¬ migrant lose the meat taste altogether and sniff suspiciously if a piece is offered them. But they soon learn to like it. Indeed, Japanese dogs have “fits” less often than ours, The S. P. C. A, people say that too much meat and’ too little exercise combine tp under¬ mine a New York dog’s digestion and make him liable to fits. Mr. F:nk tells of a Japanese-bred foreign dog which wouldn't touch a piece of corned beef until he had satisfied himself that it wasn’t poison; then ate it ravenous¬ ly and cried for more. The Japianese name for a foreign dog is “komi,” or “kami,” which looks Japanese enough. Reaiiy the name arose from the fact that the Jar>», hearing foreigners say “Come ’ere” to their dogs, took the syllables for a name. “Korai” is “Come ’ere;” ami that is a dog’s name now a la Japonaise.—New Y’ork Recorder. To Train the Respiration. Of all means of training the respira¬ tion, Dr. Fortescue Fox thinks cycling is tbe best. When a person first takes to cycling he is troubled with short¬ ness of breath, his heart beats uncom¬ fortably, and his legs get tired, but after some training these discomforts - d «PP«- ^hy should not P- - dble to attacks ol X ™ m their respiration by anch kind of ex co „ ditioo tb , increases the depth of breathing, and that without fatigue, as the re^nra torv movement- are automatic; at tne same time it will accustom the rider instinctively to take in at each respira¬ tion the volume of a:r required to aerate the blood and to eliminate a fixed proportion of carbonic acid, leaving in the circulation the precise amount compatible with health.— London News. Crael. Mm Drowsie —Your clothes are getting quite shabby, my dear. ' The Rev. Air. Drowsie—Yes, but (loftily) when I ascend the pnlpit and begin to talk they don’t notice my clothes. Mrs. Drowsie—No. They all have their eyes closed then.—Brooklyn Life.
