P. mbna 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. Ililiziir; Mti:nmi:«s.

Plush is coming into fashion again. 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. —Gooiiulfs Suu. GENESEO ROAD CART! B First Premium and Gold Medal * |\ MP New Orleans Exposition, 1886. » I\ I A i.

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, Com’r of Agriculture.
