Giltnan Drake J.utwiler is the name of
n flvc-yeur-ohl child in Griffin, Ga.. who
lias to be kept nt home to prevent him
from lying down on railroad tracks to
cujoy the “fun” of watching a train pass
over him. < Inc day, not long ago, he
got on the cowcatcher of a Georgia Mill
land locomotive to take a ride, but fell
of! upon the track, where he lay while
the engine and train passed over him,
rising up at the rear end of the train
uninjured and chuckling at the adven
ture. No amusing wasit that, a few days
afterward, he went down to the train
and delilieratcly lay down in front of the
locomotive, unseen by the engineer, for
the purpose of repeating the episode, and
again succeeded in escaping without
injury. But Ids singular predilections
were discovered, and he has since been
forbidden the track by the maternal au
thority,and lias hnd his freedom curtailed
in a manner that must prove very irk
some to his adventurous disposition.
A recent addition to the science of de
tecting criminals, which is being tried,
it is said, at Joliet, Detroit, and othei
places in this country,and which has beer
used to some extent abroad for scvcrid
years, is the anthropometric system ol
identification. It isn’t as formidable nr
affair ns its name would indicate, being
nothing more than the addition to tin
rogues’ gallery of a register of carefully
taken measurements of certain parts of
the criminals' bodies. The usual meas
urements arc the length and width of the
head, the length of the left foot, the left
forearm, ami of the little and middle
tingurcs of the left hand; the length ol
the right oar, and also that of the trunk
of the body, taken when seated; the
full stretch of the arms, and the total
height of the body. Attention is also
paid to special marks or scars and to per
sonal deformities and irregularities of
figure. The measurements are taken
with sliding and caliper compasses,gradu
ated rules and other scientifically accur
ate instruments. It is claimed that after
maturity is reached these measurements
will remain practically the same until
death, affording a much surer means of
identification than the features, hair,
beard or skin. As an instance of the un
reliability of photographs as a means of
positive identification, it is said that in
Scotland Yard there are sixty different
photographs of one person, h notorious
German girl, each of which so ‘differs
from all the others ns to deceive the clever
est detectives. France, Italy, Germany,
Spain and Denmark have adopt id the
anthropometric system in their prisons.
It was first formulated by M. I‘ertilion al
the Prison Congress in Home in 1885,
Peaannts Scared by a Balloon.
The Kiosian peasantry appear to be
sunk in ignorance and superstition. Dur
ing the recent eclipse of the sun three
famous Russian savants descended in a
balloon at a village in the neighborhood
of Moscow, whereupon the peasants
rushed out of their houses shouting:
“Let us shoot these evil beasts that have
darkened the sun.'' The savants were
lucky to escape with their lives, but the
balloon was destroyed, being regarded
•is an instrument of the devil. The
sclipse threw the peasantry into par
.ixysms of terror and apprehension
wherever it was visible. /.<>■ 7. Truth.

Enamel is being largely used in jew
elry.
There arc 100 girl students at Cornell
University.
Felt hats 'are exceedingly fashionable
this season.
Black trimmings are the fashion of ths
moment in colored fabrics.
A high class college for women is to
be. established at Denver, Colorado.
New winter mantles are frequently in
redingotc shape with visitc sleeves.
Tea gowns are ornamented with silver
bells, the traditional ornaments of folly.
Silk embroideries, passementerie and
braiding are the favorite trimmings of
the season.
Velvet doth is a new wool fabric with
a thick pile-like velvet, and is sometime.'
vailed cardinal cloth.
Miss Lucy Salmon, the new Profcssoi
of History at Vassar, is a fine looking
blonde with a clear, open face.
A tiny bar of Roman gold, tipped at
each end with a handsome diamond,
makes one of the richest of lace pins.
“ Rain fringe,” to-wit: Long close
strands of small jet beads with scarcely
any heading, is a fashionable garniture.
A new style of sleeves is full down to
the bend of the arm, slightly drooping
just under the elbow, anil finished by a
deep, plain wristband.
Mrs. Walker is a successful farmer in
Georgia. She owns and manages sev
eral thousand acres of land, which this
year will yield her a profit of $20,000.
Lady preachers are said by the (!hri»-
tian kegitter to be largely used by the
Unitarian sect, and are doing “a strong,
earnest, and, in many respects, remarka
ble work in the West.”
Miss Higden, of Detroit, is the latest
dress reformer. She declares that the
gown for woman is the insignia of serf
dom, and advocates either trousers or
knickerbockers for the fair sex.
Jackets, of whatever shape, are favored
by ladies of all ages for general wear, and
are worn by young ladies on all occa
sions. The short mantle wraps are, how
ever, favored by all but very young girls
for dressy wear.
The 1.000 girls employed in a Liver
pool factory have been organized into a
fire brigade with regular apparatus and
drill. They have several times demon
strated their eflioiency when the factory
was threatened with destruction.
The most novel style of trimming for
bonnets consists of plush flowers of the
most exquisite tints of pink, rose, and
heliotrope, also pale yellow shaded to
to deep orange. The foliage is not of
plush, but is very soft arid velvety.
The Empress Augusta, of Germany, is
more than 75 years of age. and has not
changed the style of her dress for the
last 25 years. She still wears the same
dark brown wig, and recently at the
opera was dressed in a white brocade
gown, and wore a white cap of plush on
her head instead of a bonnet. Around
her neck she wore a chain of large em
eralds.
The New York Sun says: “There is
wailing among the buttonmakers. The
gorgeous buttons that have illuminated
ladies’ dresses by the dozens and dozens
are going out of fashion. The correct
thing now is to conceal the fastenings.
Boxes and boxes of buttons lie unsold on
the shelves of the dealers. But—such
are the compensations of the trade—the
hook and-cye sellers are delighted.”
In the northwest of India and Oude
lady doctors are coming prominently into
notice. Nearly 72,000 cases were treated
at eleven missionary dispensaries, and
11,000 women sought relief at Mrs. Wil
son's dispensary at Agra; 10,850 women
anil children were treated at the Thomp
son dispensary at Agra. The lady doc
tor in charge performed successfully
some very important surgical opera
tions.
Hats have greatly changed in shape
since the summer. The crown, instead
of being high, is now quite low, and the
brim is very broad, and slanting in
front, while at the back it is very nar
row, and slightly curled up at the edge.
The coiffure, following suit, is also much
lower than in the minmtr, massed at the
back of the head in thick loops and
rouleaux, while in front short bandeaux
are combed off over the temples.
Besides her literary tastes, Queen Mar
garet of Italy is much interested in art.
and devotes a large portion of her private
income to the purchase of paintings and
statuary. She is also something of a
poet, and now and then reads aloud to a
select audience some of the verses which
she has thrown iff during a moment of
leisure, between a reception at the pnlijre
and a state dinner. Her lines flow along
harmoniously with an exquisite finish,
and often the poetical images are painted
with a richness of color that is astonish
ing.
A Horse Will Not Step On Yon.
To the West Chester (Penn.) -Veies n
Correspondent writes: “This saying is
strongly verified by a thrilling incident
related by the late Judge Haines, in
w liieli he was,in the early part of his life,
a passive participant. His father's six
horse team being released from its task,
the harness taken off the horses, they,
being in a sprightly mood, made an e*
capade around the small enclosure from
which egress could only be had through
an open, narrow gateway, where the nar
rator hadat.that instant placed himself,
um onseious,childlike,of danger. As the
horses sped toward the gateway it was
evident to a horror-stricken spectator that
tlie leading horse took in tire situation
and concluded that it was too late to call
a halt or to change his course; so. like s
bold, experienced locomotive driver, lit
did the next best thing, and, with added
energy, sprang over and beyond the frai
obstru tion, each comrade following ir.
turn, leaving the amazed youngster un
harmed and unappreciative of his past
Unger.”
Why He Looks Cross.
He isn't in love with a dear little dove.
Not a hit ot u mitten has she given to him
He has no bills to pav coming due every day.
And his pocketbook isn't most awfully slim.
Why tbeu looks he so cross, as if he’d a loss
And so dismal and downcast as a pssn
drowning mouse'
If the truth must be told, tis a story quite
old.
His good wife at home is i leaning her
bouse.

Wo take pleasure in calling your
attention to a remedy so long needed
in carrying children safely through
the critical stage of teething. It is an
' incalculable blessing to mother and
child. If you are disturbed at night
with a sick, fretful, teething child, use
Pitts’ Carminative, it will give instant
relief, and regulate the bowels, and
make teething safe and easy. It will
cure Dysentery and Diarrhoea. Pitts’
Carminative is an instant relief for
colic of infants. It will promote di
gestion, give tone and energy to the
stomach and bowels. The sick, puny,
suffering child will soon become the
fat and frolicing joy of the household.
It is very pleasant to the taste and
only costs 25 cents jer bottle. Sold
by druggists.

Certain Chicken Cholera Cure.
Eightycars of careful experiment and pains
taking rf’search have resulted in the discovery
of an infallible specific lor the euro and pre
vention of that most fatal and dreaded enemy
of the feathered tribe—Cholera. After the
fullest and fairest tests possible, in which every
claim for the remedy was fully substantiated,
the remedy was placed upon the market, and
everywhere a single trial has been all that was
required to prove it a comolete success. The
directions for its use arc plain and simple, and
the cost of the renn dy so small that the saving
of a single fowl will repay the expense. Its
effect is almost magical. If the remedy is
given as directed, the course of the disease is
stopped at once. Given occasionally as a pre
ventive, there need bo r.o fear of Cholera,
which annually kills more fowls than all other
diseases combined. It is true to name, a Cer
tain Cure for Chicken Cholera. No poultry
raiser or farmer can afford to be without it. It
will do all that is claimed for it. Bead the fol
lowing testimonial :
STATE OF GEORGIA,
Department of Agriculture,
Atlanta, Ga., March 19, 1887
To the Public : The high character of the
testimonials produced by Mr. Dodge, together
with liis well known reputation for truth and
veracity, afford convincing evidence’ of the
high value of the Chicken Cholera Cure ho is
now offering upon the market. If I were en
gaged in the business, I would procure a bot
tle of his medicine, little doubting the success
that would attend its administration.
Yours truly,
J. I'.‘ HENDERSON,

asked:
"What harm does it do to put my bead
