Jack Powell and Lee Rainey are the bosses of two of the best weekly papers : n Georgia. Boys, do you write, stick type or boss? Cuba will neve: lick Spain or the farmers of this country grow ten cent cotton as long as the common people monkey with the money sharks of Wall Street and Johnnie Bull. We regret that "Tame Rose,” ‘‘Old Sold” and “Shvlock” got in too late to be heard from this week. The paper goes to press Thursday after¬ noon. and our clever correspondents should roach the office by Tuesday. However, boys and girls, do the best you can for tho Monitor, for it cer¬ tainly appreciates your friendship. A WOMAN is tho editor of the Al¬ bany Penny Press, one of tho best little papers in the State. At least anyone would guess this after read¬ ing Saturday's issue. Never argue in Boh Ingolsol’s favor. W, W. Fleming, editor and hustler of the Cslhonn Conner, stormed tlio edi tonal castle of the Monitor Monday, j We had a social and business lwuit of an I hour or more. Will, its pleasant, to recall those good old days, isn’t it? Do you remember the time when three of ns utartwl down the Chattahoochee on an Iadiati killing expedition? As the Blakely Observer is pub¬ lished in a pica town we give its non¬ pareil editor credit for the following: It is better to make a bungling effort to do something than to do nothing but criticise those who are the trying, world even in a feeble way, to help along.

It seems that Gen, Fitzhugh Lee has or will resign his commission as consul to Cuba, giving ;ts his nason that he is not authorized to protect American citizens because of Olney’s red tape. We predicted, when Lee was appointed, that all interests of the citizens of the United States would be protected in Oaba, because we know the man, and knew that lib would be over ready to protect his countrymen and would demand of Spain that strict justice he would ac cord her, and when he found that he coutd not do so he would hitve no party to the slipshod policy <>f the government. Well done, gootl and faithful servant. Ox the tirst page of tho Atlanta Constitution of February 23, was printed a cartoon “look under your guns, reverend gontlomen," showing that the ministers are shooting the small game such as gambling, card parties, dancing, etc., and overlook¬ ing murder, robbery, etc. It is al¬ ways thus. The no harm faults of the human race .are overlooked while the outrageous crimes are held before gaze. It was society de¬ mands that ruined Otis Smith, and a mighty hurrah is raised over his downfall when it is too late. We say reform the social world by shoot¬ ing at the no harm sins and the big ones will be nipped in the bud. Stop the picture business gentlemen, and help corrot the small sins and there ■s^Hie er^M^ight. no large ones. The preach Mr. Henry Durst, general agent for E. C. DeVVitt A Co.„ of Chicago, paid the Monitor a vist, Thursday. The devil, editor, pressman or mailing clerk had never met the gentleman, but knew as quick as he approached the “outer guard’’ that he was "a brave man,”ami that he represented one of the best medi¬ cine concerns in the Union. “Pluto' persuaded him to "write - an ad. for tin paper.

(^iiite a pleasant evening was spent last week by some of the young ; e w pie at an entertainment given by M -a Sam Johnson. Your reporter not being piesdii cannot say “how lovely the young ladies were, how tastefully clad, how charming the hostess re¬ ceived and entertained, how elegant the beaux danced, nor how ‘wee tho sma’ hours’ when they all bade that •fond good-night,’ ” but from reports given by those present we say they enjoyed the evening. Mr. Jones, representing the McCoy Ctdar and Vinegar Company of Cuth bert, G»., was in the village this week. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers attenden ser¬ vices at Mats Hill Sunday. Misses Jennie Parkins and Maggie Davis attended services at Morgan Sunday. A young man arrived at Mr. Char¬ lie Jackson's last week for tho ex¬ press purpose of attending school; but because of the absurd law that prevents a boy entering school before he is six. tho young man will delay entering until about 11)03. Messrs. W. E. Marvin, C. J. Davis and H A. Flowdon went gunning for quail Wednesday and bagged about twenty»five. Harviu says he killed twenty and shot at six of the other five. He’s the best yot.

EFFECTS OF TEA SMOKING, JMiyaifcljMw Alarmed at tiie Growth of tho Habit Among Woini:n. Physicians and specialists on nervous troubles are treating numerous cases of extreme insomnia and nervousness in young women without disclosing to them that their condition is the result of practicing the new vice of smoking From tea cigarettes. The habit is increasing. observations of its effects a west side physician declares that “a tea oigiv rv tte is a genuine brain excitant. Auy one who uses it and yet doos not work with her brain would go iia’f crazy With nervousness, but with those who do brain work it is different, for tho stimu¬ lus produces strange intellectual activ¬ ity. ‘‘After » couple of green tea cigarette* a poem, for instance, will almost write itself, I am told by one of my literary patient*. The effect of the tea cigarette, while stimulating to the hiam and its flow of thought, acts as a {fine sedative to tho rest of the body, quieting restless¬ ness, uneasiness or actual pain. The after effects are bad if they have not been worked off by unusual mental Work. “At some houses green tea cigarettes arc handed around after dinner, and I know three actl-esses of considerable reputation who give tea smoking parties twice u week. One woman, to break off this habit, on which she Inis expended nearly $10 a week, has lately volun¬ tarily placed herself under private re¬ straint. She had concealed her habit from her husband by using ail artfully contrived cigarette case. It resembled a bunch of keys, each key containing one cigarette. “So much'lias the habit spread that several tobacconists anti druggists are keeping tea cigarettes in stock for regu¬ lar customers. Tho active chemical prep¬ aration of tea is theine, just as caffeine is of coffee and nicotine of tobacco. When theine is administered to a frog or a small animal, it is found that it chiefly influences sensations which caf¬ feine or coffee does not. Iu larger doses theine produces spontaneous spasms or convulsions, which caffeine does not. This is, in fact, tho ultimate effect of smoking numerous tea cigarettes, Dually producing fits or convulsions. “Tlieiue also acts as a local antes tlietic, quieting painful nerves. Green tea contains much more theine than or¬ dinary black tea. Bo you see that tho habit of smoking tea cigarettes is.terri¬ bly pernicious. ’ ’—New York Press. Neccsult}’ U»D Motjier of Invention. “If a man keeps his eyes opon, he secs many a funny thing while riding on street cars, ” said a regular patron of the Peters avenue line. “If yon will take a ride on this line some dark night, frequently ahead -of the car you’ll see a light waved across the track, and if yon watch closely you will sco the motonnaii begin applying tho brakes, and tliedar will stop, and a smiling col¬ ored gentleman will board tho car and laughingly say that be got this car to stop fo / him. I found, upon asking a conduiJor one day, that the negroes in this part of the town have caught on to the fact that as that part of tho city is black at night the motormen of the swift moving cars cannot detect their presence on the track in sufficient time to stop their cars for them, so they, fig¬ uratively, ‘liang out a light, for tho car to stop,’and it seems to work both to the satisfaction of tho colored population and the motormen on the cars. ” Neces¬ sity is the mother of invention, and it seems our colored brother lias hit upon a scheme to offset the lack of lights on those streets back of town traversed by electric cars.—Now Orleans Picayune.

It seems that by tlicir aid one can read¬ ily determine whether diamonds are real or false, for tho rays pass quite through real diamtmds, leaving them transparent, and not at all through false ones. A real parure when photographed would show only the mounting, but in a false one nil the stones would turn out black. Strangely enough, the X rays will not penetrate glass. Eyeglasses, if photographed, come out black. This proved useful in the ease of a Vienna glassworker who got a bit of glass into his finger.

It is a familiar (oi.tn.tibii among psychologists that -';i incident once thoroughly presented to the human mind cannot be effaced from the mem¬ ory. In this couWcctfcni Dr. Cyrus Hum Jin, the well knmvb missionary to Tur¬ key and the founder of Robert college, Constantinople, is reported by the Wash¬ ington .Star as telling a humorous story. Among Or. Hamlin’s friends and substantial helpers was a Philadelphia gentleman, wirose name could not be re¬ called by the doctor, who was then in Turkey. Every ineidt ut connected with their interviews, even to the street and number of the house in which his bene¬ factor bad lived, was as plain to tho doctor as if the events had occurred but yesterday, but to save his life he could not think of the gentleman’s name. As time went on this failure of mem¬ ory caused him serious annoyance, and ho adopted all sorts of expedients to bring back the name. He would take the letters of the alphabet one at a time and think over all the surnames he had ever heard, but to no avail. Then in his imagination he would start, down the street* where his friend had lived, enter the house, go through the ceremony of introduction and repeat word for word, as nearly as he could remember it, the conversation which had taken place be¬ tween them, but still he could not recall the name. When, after 30 years, he returned to his native land on a visit, he took the trouble to go to Philadelphia, in order to settle the question which had been I puzzling him so long. He visited the house, but found only strangers, who could tell him nothing of tho people | who had lived there so many years bc p,re. go finally Dr. Hamlin abandoned tlio search, thinking that licrc at last was a case where something had teen thoroughly presented to the human mind, and as thoroughly effaced. One night, after he had returned per¬ manently large to this country, he attended a dinner where Were several dis¬ tinguished psychologists. During the evening the conversation turned upon the subject of memory, and the well known scientific principle was discussed, This was too good an opportunity (o be lost., and Dr. Hamlin proceeded to relate his experience at. length, as ail example of the opposite kind. He was, of course, listened to with great interest, and as lie approached the end of his story lie said, with great im¬ pressiveness: “Gentlemen, there was an incident presented to my mind more than 40 years ago, and I have not been able to think of the name" of Captain Itobinson from that day to this.’’ When bis climax',was greeted by a hearty burst of laughter, the worthy doctor locked round in-great astonish in cut,' for he thought lie had told a pretty good story and Could *eo nothing in it to provoke mirth. It was some time before til© truth Cf the mutter dawned .. upon him. Rock Pictures In Oregon, W. B. Whitteniore while in Alturas, Or., recently discovered some remark¬ able hieroglyphics about 15 miles north¬ east from the nor th 'end of Warner val¬ ley on the edge of wliat is locally known as the’ “desert” in Lake county. Mr, Whitteniore says the hieroglyphics had been cut with, a sharp instrument iu the surface of tho .hard basaltic rock. They cover the face of the bluff fora distance of about three miles and consist of pic¬ tures of Indians with bow's, arrows and spears, besides deer, antelope, dogs aud w olves, geese, ducks, few inis and reptiles of various kinds. Intermingled with these animals arc characters which, of course, he could not decipher. He says that the execution of the pictures was very good, and he is satisfied that it could not linvo been the work of ordinary Indians. Throughout the entire distance the char¬ acters and pictures are in rows. The Indians of the vicinity have no knowledge of the meaning of the hiero¬ glyphics or of the people who ages ago chiseled them on the surface of the rocks. From tho description given, tho picture writing bears a close resem¬ blance to that found in Mexico and Cen¬ tral America. If this supposition is true, a careful study might reveal to 'the arcliteologist some insight into the origin or wanderings of a dead and forgotten civilization. —Cor. Ban Francisco Call. It Was Lucky. ‘ ‘Hurry, ’ ’ slie said reproachfully. “Well?” he returned apprehensively, for there was that iu her tone that made him fear tlio worst. “It is evident from your breath,” she went on, “that you have been drinking. ’ ’ “Weir/*’ ho said again for want of something better to say. “When a mere girl,” she explained regretfully, “I made a solemn vow that lips that touched wine should never touch mine. ” “Oh, is that all?” ho said with evi¬ dent relief. ‘ ‘ If you were a little more conversant with the price of things in that lino and with the details of my sal¬ ary, you wouldn’t hesitate a moment on account of that vow. But it's mighty lucky that you didn’t include anything but wine in it. ”—Chicago Post Cost of Expert Testimony, A movement is on foot in New York to do away with or in some way regu¬ late the taking of expert testimony in court trials. The question of expense is a serious ouc, this feature of the Marie Borberi trial having cost $10,000, while $02,000 was expended in the trial of Dr. Meyer, the poisoner, a year or two ago. As high as $300 a day has been charged by medical experts. Beethoven could play from memory all the preludes and fugues contained iu Bach's “Well Tempered Clavichord.” There are 48 preludes and the same number of fugues, and, as each is in the most abstruse style of counterpoint, the difficulty of tins performance will be appreciated by every musician.

They Appealr Only on lireary They Have a Monopoly of .sidewalk tertaining, and (totally Manage to Ha All the Pennies Within Reach. Out of the thick fog that hangs the square comes the Scottish piper, and with him tho Scottish dancer, both in full Scottish regalia. Not since our last ... foggy day , had I seen them. So , as I know they never appear in \veather. Their friend and ally, the fog, drives away the thunderous piano organs which cmrse London, leaving to them clear field. They come out of it playing tuerrily; . , they .. disappear into it playing merrily, but not until they have tamed long enough to charm away our pennies. Unbearable as the bagpipe music is o any save the ears of the faithful it fog m in a ScoSmirt^Tt Tous^'you out of (he dull, sticky phlegm that the soot laden fog imposes on you. It brings you to the window of your apartment to wait impatiently until the gay, swag genng figures appear from behind tho yellow curtains like living pictures at a Uia s 10 V* • The , , dancer earnest , wo rusty , swords . he only thing about him hat is not bright and fresh He lays them down on the pavement. Meanwhile the piper marches on straight ahead, swaggering and blowing as if ho Were piper to the whole Scottish people So forcefully does he march that we fear he is going to pass ns by for the wealthy household em n. tho next street Then suddenly he performs u half cir cle, still playing and now marching with ftmdcy steps, which show off Ins great ssarrETiSMss the windows, bows and smiles and craves our wealth. If we are conscious of a preconcerted theatrical movement on the part of our canny, kilted friends, it only re-enforces our admiration, and jingle, jingle, jingle, go our pennies— Americans’ . . ,. Frenchmen , . , s,Englishmen „ ,. . , s, landladies , servants pennies! A bar Vest of pennies, reaped by canny fingers and put in ail extensive granary some¬ where in the most picturesque of all na¬ tional garbs. Still the fingers go up to tlio feathered cap for a few more pen nics; still the piper plays for a few more kept up until the people in the windows set their faces hard against any further payment until goods are delivered. Then the player takes up his position on tlio sidewalk opposite tire side of the street which has contributed most lib etally, and tho dancer gives us—well, what do you suppose lie gives? Not a highland fling, of course. No Scot in a kilt would be guilty of that any more than a Scot in a kilt would mention Bobby Burns ut the banquet of a Scot tisll But nowhere else is the highland fling and the bagpipe quite SO attractive ., ,. as on -fl London pavement when the fog is thick and one must work by lamplight at midday. The gayly clad piper who summons the greatest trf Scottish bards and his guests to dinner, and after they aro seated marches solemnly around the tabic , j-,___-,..,* splitting the ,, ears of X these ., same guests, has not one-half the poetry of the piper of tho fog. I have heard tell how the finest of Scottish dancers danco around . fires _ in the ,. open a to amuse the queen when slie is at Balmoral. She is welcome to them. Though the piper be a royal gamekeeper and the dancer a royal gillie, I rest content with my Scots who march out of tho fog and back into it after they have emptied my peck ets of pennies. Another collection is taken before wo may enjoy tho sword dance, which is quite tho perfection of the dancing art as the Scotcii know it. If that does not get tlio last Of your pennies, the farewell collection will. All penuies, all collec tions, disappear somewhere in that dancer’s kilt, though that dancer’s kilt grows no larger. How he carries tlieni —an English penny is as large as a sil¬ ver dollar—is a question, for after a few collections the brawniest of hairy legged highlanders could not dance un¬ der the weight of liis wealth. But I have seen the dancc-r now and then take a handful of something out of liis kilt and put it in a pouch under the piper’s pipo. Often not a penny is left in the block. After the messenger boy, who, being in a hurry, lias reclined on a stoop for a little rest aud recreation, has part¬ ed with his last ha’pence the dancer picks up his rusty swords, the piper strikes up a tune and they march away into the fog. In one foggy day they must earn enough to keep them in Scotch “whusky” until another foggy clay comes. If it is possible for such a wicked thing as a London fog to have fairies, the piper and the dancer are they.*— London Cor. Now York Press. Lilt t i.i. h.

There are, in the southeastern counties, as fine packs of hounds as can he shown iu England, though fewer in number, and some horses that hold their own against the best of English importations over as stiff" a country as that hunted by the famous Quom pack, of which the Earl of Lonsdale is master. At a recent run 150 couples of hounds were out and about 200 riders. Just now there is con¬ sternation among owners of the Penn¬ sylvania hounds because of au outbreak of rabies in the Strafford Hunt kennels, which has necessitated the killing of the entire pack of 25, many of them dogs imported from noted English packs. A rabid cur bit one of the hounds a few weeks ago, and this dog, after a recent run, attacked other occu¬ pants of the kennels. So all were killed as a matter of safety.
