C. B. IRWIN. CONYERS, GA., SATURDAY, OCT- 7, 1900. A SLEEPY GUEST. Why the Lair of the House Was In dlgnant Over Ills Conduct. There is a well known legal light of Chicago who is in deep disgrace with¬ out the shadow of an excuse for him¬ self to bolster up his sinking spirits. He went out to Hyde Park the other night to dine informally with some friends, and his hostess, who had been married but a short time, put herself out to entertain him. The dinner was excellent, and the judge did full jus¬ tice to it They had coffee in the libra¬ ry, and the biggest, most padded leath¬ er chair was put at the guest’s dispos¬ al. With a sigh he sank into its cav¬ ernous depths and prepared for a luxu¬ rious evening with a good cigar ahead of him. Brilliantly his hostess rambled on. She told stories that were witty, and she gently deferred to his views, but presently he left her to do all the talking. In the midst of a striking ac¬ count of a theater party she stopped with a jerk. There was no response and a dead silence punctuated only by a gentle and regular breathing. The judge was fast asleep in his big chair. There was no doubt of it. Nothing could conceal the fact. With one in¬ dignant and comprehensive glance at her plainly delighted husband she arose and majestically swept up stairs. And she did not go down again. It was some time later when her husband apologetically came up after her. He had not expected her wrath to last “Did—did you think you were badly treated?" he asked. “How long did he sleep?’’ asked the still insulted wife. Again the grin overspread her hus¬ band's face, but he spoke in a sad tone, as befitted the occasion. “Nearly an hour,” he breathed. “I wouldn’t mind," pacifically. Then it was the worm turned. “Mind!” she stormed. "Of course I wouldn’t only you have grounds now for the rest of your life for saying I talk so much it puts people to sleep!” And she wept.—Chicago News. SOMETHING ABOUT ARMIES. Artillerymen Were Once Regarded a* Mechanics, Sot Soldier*. Until the time of Charles XII of Swe¬ den the artillery was not considered a part of the array. The men serving in it were not soldiers, but regarded as mechanics. The officers had no army rank. Charles XII gave artillery offi¬ cers a rank and regularly organized the artillery iuto companies. The hattle of Pavla demonstrated the superiority of the gun iu the hands of the Spanish infantry. The musket carried a two ounce* ball and sometimes brought down at one fire two or three mailed knights. The French sent a flag of truce to remonstrate against the use of such barbarous weapons. Alexander had four kinds of cavalry— the cataphraeti, or heavy armed horse; the light cavalry, carrying spears and very light armor; the acrobalistse, or mounted archer*, used for outposts, pa¬ trols and reeonuoitering duty, and the dimaehoe, or troops expected to act ei¬ ther as cavalry or infantry. Alexander the Great reorganized his father’s ar¬ my. The file or laehos of 10 men was the unit; two files made a diloehy; two diloch ies made a tetrarehy; two tetrarchies a texiarchy; two of these a syntagura; 16 of these a small phalanx; four of these a tetra-phalangarehy, oth¬ erwise known as a large phalanx. The Greeks attacked in a phalanx, the spears interlocked and shields over¬ lapping. After the first onset the spears were dropped, and the day was decid¬ ed with the sword. The cavalry at¬ tacked the enemy In the rear, if possi¬ ble. and, in case of victory, undertook the pursuit—Pearson’s Weekly. Not the Conventional Woman. "But I don’t know you, madam,” the bank cashier said to the woman who had presented a check. But this woman, instead of saying haughtily, “I do not wish your ac¬ quaintance, sir,” merely replied, with an engaging smile: "Oh, yes, you do, I think. I’m the ‘redheaded old virago’ next door to yon whose ‘scoundrelly little boys’ are al¬ ways reaching through the fence and picking your flowers. When you start¬ ed down town this morning, your wife said: ‘Now, Henry, If you want a din¬ ner fit to eat this evening, you’ll have to leave me a little money. I can’t run this house on the city water and 10 cents a day’ ”— “Here’s your money, madam,” said the cashier, pushing it toward her and couching loudly.—Chicago Tribune.

A French explorer has discovered the vaiuest people in the world. By a curious coincidence they happen to be also the ugliest. They arc the Pa* houins, a savage tribe of the western const of Africa. The main occupation of these people is the adornment of their persons. As the Pahouin’s cloth¬ ing is of so light a character as not to Incommode him he bestows n good sha’v of bis thought upon the adorn¬ ment of ins body, which he tattoos in elaborate designs done iu red or blue. Or a more fanciful effect Is obtained by tattooing in relief by injecting un¬ derneath the skin the juice of e plant which produces n permanent swelling. Sometimes the face and body are also tinted with a dvo. red being the color most in demand. The same methods are used in adorn¬ ing the face, especial attention being given to the nose. Many of the Pa houins after tattooing or painting tbeir noses pierce them with long, slender bones. Others after piercing the nose attach to it a string of colored pearls. Both men and women concentrate their efforts on their hair. Their inge¬ nuity, which is shown in the construc¬ tion of scores of different headdresses of bone and metal for the men of the tribe, chiefly the warriors, is Illustrated In a far greater degree by the coiffure# of the women. The extreme of simplicity in the Pa houin women’s method in making themselves beautiful is to shave the head till it is smooth and round as a ball and then to color it with a dye.— Cincinnati Enquirer. A.ddre**ed the Jury. A man who had never seen the In aide of a courtroom until he was intro¬ duced as a witness in a case pending in one of the Scottish courts, on being sworn took a position with bis back to the jury and began telling the story to the judge. The judge, In a bland and courteous manner, said: “Address yourself to the Jury, sir.” The man made a short pause, but, notwithstanding what had been said to him, continued his narrative. The Judge was then more explicit and said to him: “Speak to the Jury, sir, the men sitting behind you on the benches.” The witness at once turned around and making an awkward bow said with perfect gravity: “Good morning, gentlemen.”—Buffalo Courier.

One night at a reception which Sen¬ ator Beveridge and I attended soon aft¬ er his election the hostess said in mock surprise: “Are you Senator Beveridge, the sen¬ ator from Indiana?” The senator bowed modestly.

When the yerba mate, or native tea •f Paraguay, is cultivated, the seeds are treated to an acid bath before planting. This softens the hard shell which surrounds the kernel of the seeds and enables them to sprout in three or four months. If planted in their natural state, it requires three or four years for the to
