Shells of Ocean.
One summer eve, with pensive thought,
I wandered on the sea beat shore,
Where oft in heedless infant sport,
1 gathered shells in days before,
1 gathered shells in days beloie.
The plashing waves like music fell,
Responsive to my humor wiki,
A dream came o’er me like a spell,
1 thought 1 was again in a child.
A dream came o’er me like a spell,
1 thought 1 was a child agai”.
1 stooped upon the pebbly strai <1
To cull the toys that round me lay;
But as 1 took them in my hand,
1 threw tl em, one by one, away,
I threw them, one by one, away.
Oh! thus, 1 said, in ev’ry s age
By toys our fancy is beguiled—
We gather shells from youth to age,
And then we leave them like a child.
We gather shells from youth to age,
And then we leave them like a child.
Facts Worth Knowing-.
The Relative Digestibility of the Leading
Articles of Food.
Don’t consider it a waste of time to
memorize the following list of relative
digestibility of foods:
Easily digestible: Arrowroot, aspar
agus, baked apples; black tea, allow
able only when the patient is accus
tomed to taking it; cauliflower, fresh
fish, grapes, grouse, haddock, milk,
mutton, partridges.
Moderately digestible: Apples, ap
ricots ; beef —rare, but not raw; beets,
butter, cabbage, celery, cod, duck;
eggs, boiled for three minutes or half
an hour; jellies, not made from gela
tine ; lamb, lettuce, potatoes, pud
dings, rabbit, raspberries, raw or
slightly stewed oysters; real soups —
not artificial ones; snipe, spinach,
trout, turnips, turtle, woodcock, young
pigeon.
Difficult to digest: Buttered toast,
carrots, cheese, crabs, custards, fresh
bread, goose liver, halibut, hashes,
herring, lobster, mackerel, butter,
mushrooms, nuts, oil, onions, peas,
pineapples, salmon, shrimps, salt meat,
sausages, turkey, peaches, pheasants,
rice, ripe oranges, roasted oysters, sago,
stale bread —particularly the German
rye bread, not pumpernickle; straw
berries, sweatbreads, tapioca; venison
—like other meats should not be eaten
tainted, young chicken, young turkey.
When patients are incapable of
taking even the lightest of the foods
on this list, as in cases of tropical
dysentry and other severe diseases of
the intestinal canal, I have found out
that they could retain to advantage
the white of eggs beaten up in water.

Hints Upon Bathing.
No bath should be taken when the
body is fatigued. No bath should be
taken immediately after or before a
meal, or when the blood is overheated
and the body in a perspiration. If
practicable the bath should be taken
when the body is at its maximum of
vigor. For ordinary life the most con
venient time for a bath is upon rising
or retiring. A bath upon going to
bed is conducive to sleep. Simply
washing the skin with clear water is
not sufficient for cleanliness. Soap
should be used freely. Even with
soap and water the skin often remains
unclean, as is proved by the rolls of
debris that can be rubbed from it after
a vapor bath. The bath should be
taken in a well heated room and
should ever be followed by a sensation
of comfort, otherwise more harm than
good has been done. If the person be
delicate to atmospheric impressions,
take the bath very quickly, and do not
wet the whole body at once. For a
general bath the water may be of a
temperature that is agreeable to the
bather. Foot baths are invaluable
and may be taken several times a week
with advantage by all persons. Well
persons may continue them from fifteen
to thirty minutes in water as cool as
can be borne. Rub dry with towel
and hand and pare the nails carefully.
This practice keeps the feet nice and
rids them of corns.
As you go over the W. & A. ask
the conductor to show you the great
“horse-shoe bend.”
OUR ‘ RAINY SUMMER,” NUMBER.
ATLANTA, CA., AUGUST 15, 1889.
The Great Peaeh Growing State.
It is said that Mr. Rumph, the great
peach grower of Marshalville, Ga., has
already sold nearly $50,000 worth of
peaches this season, and his crop is by
no means exhausted. Some idea of
the- value of the fruit crop may be
gathered from the statement that
three orchards in Marshalville will
ship five car loads daily this week.
This means 2,000 bushels daily this
week, which represents after freight is
paid, between $30,000 and $35,000.
Georgia is destined to be the great
peach growing state of the Union, and
will rank first as a peach producing
state, as Florida ranks first in the
orange industry, and Georgia, with
her melon farms, LeConte pear, peach
and plum orchards, will stand at the
head of the fruit producing states of
the country. — Dalton Citizen.
Healthiest Place In the World.
Pickens county, Ga. is one of the
healthiest places in the world. In the
Sharptop district in that county, which
by the way, is an exceedingly small dis
trict, there live the following six aged
men: Absalom Wheeler, 80; Elias
Watkins, 86; Isaac Haynes, 86;
Joseph Vanhorn, 91; Ruben Emory,
100; George Tomberlin, 101. Their
combined age is 544. These men all
live in the same neighborhood, and
have lived there all their lives. They
are all spry and hearty and walk to
Jasper, a distance of eight miles, when
they get ready. All of them have
great grand children. Who can beat
this? — Dalton Citizen.

The Fast Freight Line.
Gar load shipments of freight come
from Chicago to Atlanta, via the West
ern & Atlantic R. R., in two and one
half days, and from St Louis to At
lanta, via the Western & Atlantic, in
two days and eight hours.
This time cannot be equalled byany
other line entering Atlanta. All of
which is respectfully submitted; and
the competitors of the W. & A. are
called upon to show a record which
will come even within one day’s time
longer than this. They can’t do it.
