THE ELDER SOTHERN.
A (ou|,li- of tlie Celctirnled Come--
dtnii's Practical Jokes.
Many stories are told of Sotboru’s
original methods of entertaining his
friends at dinner, and possibly the
most amusing is that of the belated
guest. When, late In the dinner, this
friend was announced, Mr. Sothern ex
claimed, "Let us all hide under the
table," and down they all went save
Mr. Sotliern himself, who remained
seated. When the tardy guest entered,
Mr. Sothern rose and received him
with exquisite courtesy, saying, "When
your name was announced, my guesls,
for some unaccountable reason, all hid
under the table.” After a few mo
ments of disconffort one by one they
crept out and hack to their scats.
I heard from both Mr. Sothern and
Mrs. Vincent this account of an out
burst of fun at a dinner given by him
In his parlor at the Revere House: As
the guests, ten In number, were gath
ered about the opeu fire before dinner
a stout, pompous waiter, afflicted with
short breath, added the last touches to
his dinner table, already spread. Ten
large, square pieces of bread were
placed with mathematical precision
one at each plate, and then he left the
room to bring the wine. Mr. Sothern
saw his opportunity and, calling his
dog, cried: “Tiger, the bread! Quick,
Tiger!" And the nimble little grey
hound bounded lightly upon the table
again and again as he heard Ills mas
ter’s Imperative "Fetch tlie bread!'’
until each piece had been removed to
a dark corner near the fire.
Upon the waiter's return all was si
lence. The expectant look upon Mr.
Sothern's face showed only that dinner
was awaited. Standing for a moment,
bewildered, Hie waiter, seeing no bread
upon the table, hesitatingly turned to
the door, then rcti'iiccd bis steps to
the table, examined It carefully and
hurriedly left the room, lie soon re
appeared with u fresh plate of bread,
and again at each plate n piece was
carefully placed, and he retired with
the empty pi ite. ‘‘Quick, Tiger! Fetch
It again! More bread! More bread!”
And once more each piece was re
moved before the grave waiter reap
peared, and all were again silent. Ono
look at the table and one at the
guests, and there remained no doubt.
Those poor, hungry actors had eaten
it! With a look of contempt he an
nounced dinner, and after all were
safely seated at the table lie brought
a third plate of bread and with a fork
placed it, with a gesture of scorn,
piece by piece for each person and for
the host. The merry scene soon dis
armed his hostility, and before the
evening wns over the bread in the cor
ner was revealed. Mrs. Lucy Derby

SOME ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE
FIRM OF BOWEN AND
Th\e.„As.
Brunswick has in her midst a firm
ot contractors that would do credit to
any city on earth and one that has
[ very substantial monuments to their
efficiency, in the way of handßome
residences and busines houses In all
i sections of the cftjjf, the result of
their skill and scientific ability.
| Tne News refers to the firm of
Bowen & Thomas, composed of W. H.
Bowen and J. W. Thomas, two of
Brunswick’s most prominent business
men, who have only recently formed
a co-partnership in the contracting
line and have at once taken rank
among the leading commercial con
cerns of runswick.
For a number of years Mr. Bowen
has ben in the contracting business
and lias erected some of the finest
homes in Brunswick and vicinity. He
built tho handsome Jekyl island club
house, which, by the way, Is one of
tho handsomest structures in the
state, and to show that the million
aires were pleased with his work, he
was given more yon*
tracts
Among tho residences Just finished
by Messrs. Bowen & Tnomas may be
mentioned the handsome Candler home
and among those nearly completed are
the residences of Mrs Waff, F. D.
M. Strachan, and others. The firm
has also just completed the Kaiser
j building now occupied by J. M. Bur
net, and a pretty outage for Charlton
Wright. On the later, the record for
quick building has been broken.
Bowen & Thomas put their men to
work Tuesday morning and last night
the house was finished. This does
not. mean that only the wood work
was done, but everything, painting,
plastering, in fact, the keys were
turned over to the owner.
Another building started a few days
ago liy Bowen At Thomas was the
Catholic convent on Richmond street,
immediately In tne rear of the church.
This building will be one of the hand
somest in the city and is sure to re
flect credit upon the contractors,
In securing the contract for erect
ing the government building, Mr
Bowen plainly demonstrated his abil
ity in his line, rtc ’had to bid against
the most active contracting firms In
the north aud the fact that he got the
work, only hy a smal margin, speaks
only higher for him.
But Bowen & Thomas will do even
greater things in the future, as The
News teams from a reliable aoudee
tuat they are at present contemplat
ing the enlarging of the business in
a great degree and this means that
runswick, too. will come in for her
share of the prosperity thay may
hying, because what helps tne indi
viddual helps the town aud vice
versa.
Tlie News sincery hopes that the
firm of Bowen & Thomas will continue
to thrive.

ALIASES OF THE PEANUT.
There Are Many Name* For the
Toothsome Palate Tickler.
Considering its universal popularity
and excellent standing in agricultural
circles, it is remarkable how many
aliases there are under which the pea
nut travels. Whenever it is introduced
to anew community the toothsome
offering of the sod adopts anew name
and comes forth with an additional
sobriquet which makes it almost un
recognizable to Its old acquaintances.
If the “edible fruit”—ns tlie dictiona
ries call it—had ever done anything to
be ashamed of, the public plight under
stand, but as things are tlie eccentrici
ties of peanut nomenclature are abso
lutely astonishing.
Here In Virginia we designate our
little friend principally as tlie peanut,
but quite often we likewise allude to
him as a “ground pea” and occasionally
as a “goober.” Over iu England they
caU the same fruit ground nut, while
it is variously known elsewhere as
“earth nut,” “Manila nut,” “jurnut”
and “plndar.” The scientific patro
nymic, as we understand it, is Araehis
pypogsea, and the family belongs to the
genus of leguminous plants.
But, be Its name what it may, a pea
nut Is a peanut tlie world over, so far
as its virtues go, and few are the hu
man palates which decline to receive
an Introduction to it.—Richmond Dis

A Different Sort of Leather.
A Pennsylvania physician tells a
story about his servant which reminds
one in a vague way of the “skinny side
out and tlie woolly side In” rhyme. He
had just hired a servant who. says tlie
Philadelphia Telegraph, bad some of
the “otlld dart” still clinging to her
boots.
One morning he noticed his office
windows were rather dirty, and, call
ing Bridget, he instructed her to clean
them before he returned. At the same
time he told her that he would stop
and purchase anew chamois skin and
send it home, and with this she was lo
clean the windows.
After he had gone his rounds tie re
turned to his office. Glancing at the
windows, he found them thickly
streaked with grease. He called Bridg
et, and the following colloquy took
place:
"Bridget, didn’t 1 tell you to clean
the windows?”
"Yes, sor.”
"And didn’t I tell you to use the new
chamois?”
“Yes, sor.”
"Well, did you use It?”
“Sure, I did sor.”
“Let me see the chamois.” said the
doctor, and Bridget promptly brought
It, Then for the first time he learned
that his wife hail left the house a half
hour before him and had sent home
aome tripe.
Rlnek and White.
Every crow Is said to think Its own
nestling the whitest, but a white cat
that had four kittens, of which three
were white and the fourth was black,
gave the first place in her affections
to Booty. Once they were all brought
Into the drawing room to be “shown
off.” Besides the humans the room
contained a great Newfoundland dog.
Hitherto eat and dog hail been on
friendly terms, but now pussy showed
much anxiety lest the dog might harm
her black pot especially. At last she
seized it by the neck and bore It be
neath the lowest piece of furniture,
where the dog could not possibly crawl,
but she merely mewed to the others to
follow her as best they could. The
black kitten owed all this care to its
color, more happy in this respect than
the black sheep which Is said to be in
every flock.—Exchange.
Holland.
Holland, known as North and South
Holland, forms part of the northern
jwrt of the Netherlands. These prov
inces are composed of land rescued
from the sea and defended by immense
dikes. Holland was inhabited by the
Bntvi in the time of Csesar, who made
a league with them. It became part
of Gallia Belgica mid afterward of the
kiudgom of Austria. From the tenth
to the fifteenth century it was gov
erned by counts under the German em
perors. Holland was at one time a
Dutch republic. It was created a
kingdom in' 1806, and Louis Bonaparte,
father of Napoleon 111., was declared
king.
Diplomacy.
“I always endeavor,” said the matri
monial philosopher, "to take the wrong
side of an inconsequential argument.”
“With what object in view?” he was
naturally asked.

me wrong, and this so delights her
that 1 find her generously tractable in
all the more Important matters.”—Chi

"Mr. Diggles,” said the boy with big

"Why, certainly. But what made
you thiuk of that?"
"My sister said it was better thau

something fine.”

Thrifty Sqnandrrrrs,
When Napoleon entered Genoa in
1805, tlie rich patricians of tlie city
exerted themselves to gain the favor
of tlie conqueror hy all sorts of flat
tering attentions. The most elaborate
of these was a banquet patterned after
the famous one offered by Antony to
Cleopatra.
The tables were set in an artificial
garden, floating on pontoons, which
were towed out to sea during the prog
ress of the feast. At the conclusion of
tlie banquet—again in imitation of An
tony and Cleopatra—all tlie costly gold
and silver plate was flung into the sea.
This little tribute of honor to the em
peror was not so expensive as it seem
ed, for the floating garden was sur
rounded with nets, aud tlie plate was
subseq uenll y recovered.

DON’T GET MORBID. ;
It It Not a Difficult Matter to Think
Yourself to Death.
Thousands of people actually think
themselves to death every year by al
lowing their minds to dwell on morbid
subjects.
Asa rule, the thought that kills re
lates to something the individual
drea'cls more than anything else in the
world. There is the germ of fatal
thought in ninety-nine persons in every
hundred, and the exception is only
proof against the thought disease by
liaving been Inoculated with the lymph
of optimism or philosophy.
The Idea that one has some Incipient
disease in one’s system, the thought of
financial ruin, that one is getting on In
life without improving prospects—any
of them or a thousand similar
thoughts may carry a healthy man to
a premature grave. A melancholy
thought that fixes Itself upon one’s
mind needs as much “doctoring” as
physical disease. It needs to be eradi
cated from the miud or it will have
just the same result as a neglected
disease would have. The thought dis
ease sometimes cures itself after run
ning its course: so does smallpox. But
who would settle ilowu to suffer from
smallpox and chance recovery, as thou
sands of foolish persons settle down to
let the thought disease, which has at
tacked them, do its worst?
Every melancholy thought, every
morbid notion and every nagging wor
ry should be resisted to the utmost,
aud the patient should be physicked by
cheerful thoughts, of which there is a
store in every one’s possession, bright
companions—cheaper than drugs and
pleasanter.
There have occurred scores of dozens
of cases where healthy persons have
thought themselves Into having tumors
and cancers—cases which admit of no
doubt whatever that tlie diseases re
sulted from constant morbid fear.
There might possibly be fewer cases
of cancer if some great doctors could
assure tlie world that it Is not a hered
itary disease, hut morbid minded per
sons on hearing that there is cancer in
their families generally do tho very
worst thing they can do under the cir
cumstances they conceive ail awful
dread that they will be afflicted with
it. They dwell upon the fear constantly,
nnd every trifling ailment which trou
bles them is at first mistaken for the
premonitory symptoms of cancer.
The morbid condition of mind pro
duces a morbid condition of body, and
if the disease does happen to be In the
system it receives every encourage
ment to develop.
POULTRY POINTERS.
The best eggs are the result of a
meat diet.
Weak legs come from forced growth,
high feeding and close confinement.
Use no deformed or weak fowls
breeding and do not keep the sn mV
cock more than one season.
A molting hen seldom lays. She can
not be supplying eggs while the strain
of growing new feathers is upon her.
Avery fat hen seldom lays anything
blit soft shelled eggs. Apoplexy anil
egg bound are the result of excessive
fat.
Leaves and hay chaff make excellent
litter for the doors, nnd by throwing
grain among it fowls are often kept
busy scratching.
Keep the fowls away from the barns,
stables and carriage bouses. In such
places they are nuisances; besides they
are more comfortable in a place by
themselves.
Hens must have carbonate and phos
phate of lime for their shells, and these
will be found In old plastering, broken
oyster shells and bones, with some of
the meat and gristle attached.
A reriian Dinner.
A traveler in Persia thus describes a
dinner served in the household of a
wealthy Persian; “The chief dish con
sists of a fowl boiled to rags, surround
ed by a toothsome mass of rice, hard
boiled eggs, fried onions, almonds and
raisins. There is a Shiraz wine, clear,
golden red liquid that has traveled
over the mountain passes on mulebnck
in a huge glass carboy. Among the
dessert manna has a conspicuous place.
This delicacy Is somewhat akin to
nougat; It Is studded with walnuts ami
aiinpnds and Is jaw sticking to the
last degree. Like the mango, it is best
eaten in private, for it renders the mas
ticator speechless. It is made of gum
that exudes from a tree and is said to
be engendered by a worm.”—Chicago
News.
Fertile Cuba.
In Cuba cabbages frequently weigh
as much as twenty pounds. All vege
tables do well. Radishes may be eaten
from fourteen to eighteen days after
sowing, lettuce in five weeks after
sowing, while coni produces three
crops per year. Sweet potatoes are
perpetual. The nntives dig up the
tubers, cut them off and plant the old
vines, which produce anew crop in
three months. All sorts of fruit, borti
cnlturai and greenhouse plants and
bulbous stock are also grown.
