“Love in a cottage’ is all right,
nd sounds sentimental and poeti
al, but let us tell you something,
onny. If you wish to keep love in
our cottage youve got to keep
lenty of groceries there, warm
lothes for wife and baby in the
.inter, and when you return home
1 the evening, always have a smile
a your face, no matter what had
one wrong with you through the
ay, and kiss wife and baby as you
ater the house. After which,
wake for the wood-pile and chop
1p enough stove-wood to last your
sife until the next evening. Bring
.all in and place it in the wood
»>x in the kitchen. Then chop
:00d for the house. Should your
ttle wify want you to carry a
ib of slop out to the hog pen a |
qarter of a mile from the house,
-ary it without a murmer. Leave
12 house smiling. Yes, smile un
sr all circumstances, and keep
niling. If you carry out these
irections, love is liable to linger in
lat cottage formany days---provid-

Only by Napoleonic strategy did
“Babe”’ Adams,who piteched and
won three games for Pittsburg from
Detroit in the world’s championship
series, escape the fate that made
Hobson famous. By actual count
436 Pittsburg young women, blon
des, brunettes, Gibsons, peaches,
prun—, besieged him in his home
and later in a hotel, just determined
to kiss “that gweet, pitcher-man.”
They called and pleaded but
“Babe” was obdurate, He even
‘had the nerve to declare his wife
‘didn’t want him to be generally
kissed. For six hours the siege
lasted and the dear ones gave it up.
Suppose he had won four games?—

Brown vs. Brown.
Will it be Brown against Brown
for governor next year? This isthe
question that is agitating the poli
ticians since State Treasurer Pope
Brown delivered a speech at Car
rollton this week. Of course the
delivery of one speech doesn’t nec
essarily make a man a candidate,
but the tone of Mr. Brown’s ad
dress, combined with other signs
and circumstances, have caused
some people to believe that the
state treasurer, instead of Hoke
Smith, may oppose “Little Joe”
for governor next year.—Valdosta

Several inducements were made
to Mr. Haag to join the show
trust, but he refused all offers, and
will continue to give the public
the same high' class shows, only
this season will be enlarged in
every department, as theshow now
travels on its own special train of
cars,
The trust magnates advised Mr,
Haag to obliterate the street pa
rade but he refused positively, and
this vear has enlarged his street
pagament so as to make it two
miles in length, with plenty of
music, pretty ladies, fine horses,
funny clowns and massive open
cages of animals and takes place
daily on the public streets free.
THE PARADE.
Too much cannot be said of The
Mighty Haag Railroad Shows
parade which takes place daily on
the public streets free for every
hody and is one mile in length and
introducing features never attemp
ted by any other show for their
street pagament. No parade is com
plete without a caliope and Mr.
Haag has spared no pains or ex
pense in this everlasting feature
of the parade. Not only havethe
Haag Shows one of the finest cal
iopes in the world, but have been
fortunate enough to secure the ser
vice of Signor Lamont, who i 3
considered the premier of ~ cal

Their Invention Made the Modern
Skyscraper Possibie.
It is certain that the earliest and the
mest indispensable of the factors which
have enabled the construction of the
mighty skyscrapers of today wus the
passenger elevator and that this was
brought into use during the sixties of
the last century, its first appearance
in New York being in the Fifth Ave
nue hotel. It was at about the same
time introduced into the Astor ITouse,
then already a generation old. So ob
vious was the utility of this device
that the wonder again is that it had
not been brought into practice long be
fore. Hoists are, of course, as old as
the Dutch warehouses, of which the
picturesqueness is enhanced by the
projecting cranes that worked the
hoists. doubtless as old as Archimedes.
But hotels, even when the Fifth Ave
nue was built, were conditioned in al
titude, as were all other buildings not
exclusively monumental, by the pow
ers of ascension of the unassisted hu
man leg. Five stories was the max
imum for commercial buildings, except
“that an attical sixth might be added
for the discommodation of the janitor,
whose name was Hobson and who had
to go where he was sent, which. nat
urally, was where 1o "paying{‘fflcst”
could be induced to go. He and his
'may have taken their outlook on life
from slits or bullseyes just under the
roof. In the cases of hotels the sixth
story was assigned to servants and
storerooms. Tenants or inmates could
not be induced to climb more than
'four flights of stairs and grumbled
grievously in the case of inmates of
i hotels and accused the hotel clerk of
perfidy when they had to climb so
many. A device which would make
all the floors, even of & five story hotel,
equally accessible, and so equally de
sirable, was a device very sure of im
mediate adoption, so sure that the only
wonder was that the supply of it
should have so lagged behind the de
mand. The beginnings -of the eleva
tors were, it is quite true, the begin
nings also of what in their earlier
stages were known as the “elevator
buildings.”—Scribner’s Magazine.

curious expression was used by the
old sultan of Turkey. while a prisoner

A Remedy That Is Not Liable to Attain
Wide Popularity.
Peter the Great was once traveling
Incognito in a part of Finland, when
bhe met a very fat man who told him
that he was going to St, Petersburg,
“What for?" asked the czar, |
“To consult a doctor about being so
:at."wmcb has become very oppress
ve,
“Do you know any doctor there?’ l
loxo'fl ‘
“Then I will give you a line to my
friend, Prince Menschikoff, and he will
introduce you to one of the emperor's
physicians,”
The traveler went to the prince’s
house with a note. The answer was
not delayed. The next day, tied hands
and feet, the poor man was dragged off
on a eart to the mines,
Two years after Peter the Great was
visiting the mines. Ile had forgotten
the incident of the fat man, whep sud
denly a miner threw down his pick,
rushed up to him and fell at his feet
crying:
“Grace, grace, what is it I have
done?”
Peter looked at him, astonished, until
he remembered the story.
“Oh, so that is you!"” he said. *“I
hope you are pleased with me. Stand
up! How thin and slight you have be
come! Go, and remember that work is
the best cure for your complaint!”’
Bamboo Shoots 2s Fcod.
The bamboo shcots that are eaten
are not yet hranched, of a conical form
and sheathed in an envelope generally
covered by small, prickly bristles.
These young shoots emerge very vig
orously from the soil at the foot of the
bamboo tufts, The Chinese and Japa
nese, it appears, consume large quanti
ties of them. They use them as sea
soning with pork and chicken. The
‘first thing in their preparation natu
rally is to rid the sprouts of their dis
agreeable sheath. They are then cut
either lengthwise or in slices and are
placed in boiling water. The water is
renewed once or twice, and after add
ing salt a vegetable is obtained which
reminds one strongly of the root of the
artichoke. The Japanese also eat them
preserved in brine or vinegar. The
gathering of the young bamboo shoots,
during which one must be careful of
the prickly envelope, takes place in
June and November in Tonkin. The
November shoots are the better appre
ciated.—New York Herald's Paris Edi
tion.
Sawing Rails Is Not Musical.
Rails are ent with saws—not quietly:
not at all. There is considerable rack
et underneath an elevated railroad in
a narrow streei, the subway isn't quite
a lodge in some vast wilderness, but
never until I watched a toothless saw
cut throuzh a cold steel rail by fric
tion. meltine its way—you can see the
smeared ends afterward—-did 1 expe
rience a noise that my ear felt rather
than heard, sayvs ILugeue Wond in Suc
cess Magazine. 'T'he tootlLiess saw
whirled with unimaginable speed, the
sparks showered like an enormous
pinwheel, and the nnwilling steel emit
ted a shriek of agony that was like a
forceful finger jammed into my ear
and scratching on my eardrum with
its nail. It was like a brass band of a
hundred pieces, each piece Ullowing
fortissimo. a note a half tone higher
than its fellow. I don't care for such
“close harmony.”

“the cyclone carried his house into the

THE PRIME MINISTER.
i desniti
A Foreign Sovereign Responsible Fo
This English Official.
So long as the sovereign himself pre
slded at the meetings of the cabinet
there was no obvious necessity for giv
ing any member of it precedence over
the others. But from the accession of
the house of Hanover the king ceased
to take part in the deliberations of the
cabinet. It has been said, indeed, by a
modern statesman that, “with a doubt
ful exception in the thme of George
111., no sovereign hus been present at
a meeting of the cabinet since Anne.”
The chunge, like so many other mod
ifications which have been introduced
into the British constitution, was the
result of a purely accidental eircum
stance. George 1, could not speak the
English language. It was clearly use
less for a monarch to be present at the
meetings of his councilors when he
did not understand the language in
which their deliberations were carried
on. But when the sovereign was thus
necessarily and habitually absent from
the cabinet it became requisite that
some minister should be chosen who
should preside at the weetings and
report its decisions to the king. Thus
the accession of a foreigner who could
not converse in English led to one of
the most momentous changes in the
constitution. T'he act of settlement
had given England a foreign sover
eign; the presence of a foreign sover
eign gave England a prime minister.—

old custom still prevails, and when an
auction is in progress and an article is
put up for bidding a short length of
candle is lighted as the bidding begins.
The shouting continues until the can
dle burns out. and the last bid before
it flickers its last is the one that takes
the cake. I don't know but waiat it
