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.

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. —From “A Doctor’s Don’ts.” The W. & A. gets there on time. ■A. humorous dare-devil—the very man. to suit my purpose. Bulwkb. L • BHg £ 4 SUMMER EVENING SCENE ON THE CHICKAMAUGA. WESTERN & ATLANTIC RAILROAD. 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. Points About Dalton.
