IN OUR DAILY PATH.
Say not, “Were I that man, or this,
I would create a world of bliss
For some one. I would upward lift
The saddest heart, and bring a gift
And lay it down at weary feet.
Oh, I would live to make life sweet
To such as in their sharp distress
Have said, ‘-Life is all bitterness.”
Whate’er we are, whate’er our plaoe,
God’s gifts to us—His gifts of grace—
We may with all the suffering share,
Till faces smile with answered prayer.
. Our very presence virtue hath
For those who daily cross our path.
It eyes are kind and hearts are true,
We can all blessed, good things do.
We need not reach out hands afar,
Hut drop our blessings where we aie.
t Was He a Brute? I J
EV OflE BEAD.
! Office buildings and stores were
pouring their streams of life into the
crowded streets. It was six o’clock at
-evening. At a corner where a human
tide swept like a torrent from a broken
dam a woman stood under a lamp
post. She was tall and dark, and so
jnolionless that she might have been a
statue. Her arms were folded under
her cloak. A policeman edging his
way (for through the crowd, touched his
cap she was neatly dressed), and
asked her a question. She shook her
head slowly, and Aid not look at him.
The policeman passed on,and the next
moment there were two quick pistol
shots, a scream and a stampede. The
officer ran back, lighting his way
through the swirling crowd. He
found the woman,pistol in hand,bend¬
ing over a man lying upon tho pave¬
ment. The officer seized her wrist,
and looking at him with a strange
smile, a3 she relaxed her hold on the
pistol, she said:
“1 am a woman, and I demand to be
treated as such.”
When she had beon taken to the
fetation and asked to make a state¬
ment, she said: “My name is Laura
Hoytt. The name of the man I shot
is Douglass Brown. I shot him be¬
cause he ought to be killed. He was
engaged to marry my sister. He did
not keep faith with her, and she died
of. a broken heart. He is a brute,and
ought to he dead,”
Brown was taken to the hospital.
His wounds were pronounced danger¬
ous. An effort was made to interview
him. Bat ail he would say was, “I
guess she thought she had a right to
shoot me. ” Ho asked if they had put
her in jail, and appeared to be pleased
when told that influential friends had
given bonds for her release.
Three weeks later the wounded man
was sitting propped up in bed, when
a card bearing the name of
Hoytt was handed to him. He
hard a» it, rubbed his eyes, held it
J 2 &TS SR tSZSi
She should want to see me. Let her
come in.”
With a timid, awe-struok air the
woman coughed approached the bed. She
in embarrassment as she
seated herself on a chair which the
nurse placed for her, She put back
her hah - , made aimless motions in her
confusion, and then, looking straight
at Brown, said:
“I’m awfully sorry I shot you.”
Brown smiled, “And are you sure
you haven’t come to shoot me again?”
he asked,
She frowned in reproof. “You know
I haven’t. If you had thought that,
you would have told them to keep me
out.”
; “No, I wouldn’t. You have come
feo far out here that I couldn’t have
found the heart to disappoint you.”
“A plaster of sarcasm won’t draw
oat a soreness, Mr. Brown. I have
suffered so with remorse that I have
come to see if I could not find some
sort of consolation. You don’t know
how I have suffered. And I must go
through a hateful trial, too, with
everybody looking at me. Oh, I do
wish I hadn’t shot you!”
“Yes,” he drawled, “I rather wish
eo myself. So, you see, we have
something in common. But you
needn’t be worried over the trial.
I shall not appear against you.”
The nurse had withdrawn. They
were alone. She put back her hair
again, and he followed the movement
of her graceful hand—the hand that
had shot him. “No, I will not ap¬
pear,” he went on. “It is something
of a distinction to be shot by the hand¬
somest woman in Chicago.” He hesi¬
tated as he saw - the tears gathering in
her eyes. “I take it all back,” he
said. She wiped her eyes, and sat
looking far away through a window.
The mystery that lies in the cloud
land was reflected in her eyes, and he
gazed at her. She turned her eyes
upon him, and the mystery flew from
them.
“Yes, I am sorry I shot you,” she
said; “but I hate you, and can never
forgive “Ah! you.”
and I am therefore consoled
by the thought that you never can
forget ‘ me.”
“Brnte!” she eaid. “I almost wish
I had killed you.”
‘When a woman almost wishes a
’thing, she wishes it doubly,” he
replied.
“I don’t know but there is some
in that,” she assented. “But
what a beast you were to treat Helen
Bo. How could you?”
“Because*! was a beast, I suppose.”
“Yes, you were. She was taken
down with fever shortly afterward,but
it was a broken heart that killed her.”
Her eyes shot shafts of hatred at him,
“But I didn’t come to reproach you,”
she said.
’“Then why did you come?” he
&6ked.
“To ask why you could have been

“It was■ .because I had too much

She darted a fierce look at him.
“Ah! it was because you loved another
woman?”
“Yes. Helen made me promise to
tell her if—if I should love any one
better than I did her. It was not my
fault if another woman set my soul
afire, when Helen had only warmed
my heart. God knows I fought against
it with all my strength, all my philoso¬
phy. But at last I had to tell her,
and I left it with her whether or not
I should keep my promise of mar¬
riage. Then she drove me from her
presence. ”
“Ah! And then yon went to the
other woman and told her of your
love, and she spurned you.”
“No, I did not tell her. Indeed, I
was determined that she should not
know.”
She looked at him seavchinglv.
“You killed my sister, but you ale
more of a man than I thought.”
He smiled sadly. “A man is always
more or less of a man than a woman
thinks.”
“If yon hold so poor an opinion of
women, I don’t see how you could
love one.”
“I don’t see, either.”
“Fool!” she said.
“Yes; I’m a man.”
She smiled at him, and then after a
silence she said:
“Do you intend to tell the woman
of vonr love?’
“No.”
“If you do, and she loves you, I
will shoot you again.”
“That’s consoling.”
“Then let it console yon. But
really I am sorry for you—for your
weakness. You ought to have had
more strength than to let that othor
woman—and I know she is a fright —
win your love. You ought to have
known that she was playing with
you.”
“Reason addresses the brain, but it
cannot reach the heart. I told you
that I fought—”
“Yes, I know.” And after a long
silence she said: “I wish you would
tell me the name of that woman.”
“Laura Hoytt.”
She sprang to her feet with a cry,
and a nurse ran into the room. She
found the visitor on her knees by the
bedside. “Leave us,” the man said,
and the nurse withdrew. Ho put his
hand on her head, and she sobbed
under his touch. * ‘And that was the
reason I could not keep faith with
heit” he said. “You set my soul on
fire,and in the flames I could see your
smile.” She caught his hand, and it
was wet with tears. “And for that
love I was willing to die,” he said,
unable now to see her,kneeling beside
him, but feeling the warm tears upon
his hand,
*<oh, don’t-don’t say that!” she

PROPITIA TING THE DEMONS,
Strange Chinese Ceremonial on a Junk In
San Francisco Bay.
Many Celestials gathered reoently at
Oceanic wharf to see the high prie3t.
Whan Ti, and his attendant acolytes,
embark on the junk Fung-Hi.
At 1 o’clock the joss, Kwong Goon,
wa3 brought onto the wharf in a back,
accompanied by Whan Ti and eight
attendants, all in full canonicals. Plat¬
ter after platter of sweetmeats and
delicacies dear to the Mongolian palate
followed tho joss along the wharf, to
the incessant squealing of a reed in¬
strument, played by one of the joss’s
attendants.
Following the sweetmeats came
bearers carrying huge plates, on which
were varions roast pigs, ducks and
sundry vegetables. The ducks were
the strangest items of tbe collection.
They were placed on the dishes in all
attitudes some as if attempting to fly,
and dn others resting in a dignified man¬
ner one leg.
At last, however, the procession was
in order, and a move was made toward
tho junk, the joss in the lead. When
the end of the wharf was reached, at
a signal from Whan Ti, the idol was
lifted on to the junk and placed
against the mast, on whioh it leaned
with a wabble in its legs suggestive of
locomotor ataxia after three years of a
sitting posture. Punk sticks were at
once lighted and placed at the feet of
the joss, and the roasts and dessert
were then—very carefully this time
carried on board. Enormous bundles
of prayer papers completed the junk’s
cargo, and, after a large table had
been fixed up as an altar and a few
prayers had been said, the high priest
ordered the ropes to be cast off and
the Fung Hi floated out into the bay.
The vessel was gaudily decorated with
lanterns, tinsel and colored cloth, and
appeared to be worthy of the honor of
carrying such a dreadful divinity as
Kwong Goon.
The junk sailed out for about a
quarter of a mile, and then the priests
began casting their bread on the
waters, believing that it would be
swallowed by the evil spirits, of whom
Kwong Goon is king, and so deter
them from eating up all the flesh.
Fowls, ducks, pigs and ricq were
thrown to these demons amid a deaf¬
ening din of cymbals and drums, and
the wondering Chinese on the wharf
did obeisance to their deity which was
out on the water. At 4 o’clock the
junk returned, and the priests aud
their altar servants repaired to the
joss house on Pine street, where they
conducted the closing services of the
Kwong Goon festival, which will be
celebrated again three years hence.—

DEVOTED TO THE INTEREST OF JOHNSON COUNTY AND MIDDLE GEORGIA.
WRIGHTS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1898,
INTERES T IN FO RESTRY.
tVhat Andover, Mass,, Is Today and What
St, John, X. U., lias Done.
A communication in a journal that is
published in the interests of forestry
shows that increased attention is be¬
ing paid to that subject in many parts
of the country. The writer, who is a
woman, tells how the citizens of the
town of Andover, Mass., have raised
two-thirds of the $4000 needed to buy
a beautiful stretch of woodland which
compris is a part of Indian Bidge, on
the edge of the town. The Bidge is
the natural pleasure park of the mill
people, and on the woodland in ques¬
tion there are oaks, chestnuts, hem¬
locks and maples, besides some mag¬
nificent white pines. A year ago it
was learned that the pines were to be
sold for lumber, and a movement was
begun to secure the woodland for for¬
estry and park purposes.
“The thought of its possibilities,”
the writer explains, “did not come at
once, but it came very soon. It oc¬
curred to siiuie of us that since all in¬
terested wished the woodland kept in
its natural beauty, the only care being
to keep the forest in its highest perfec¬
tion, it might be made a useful object
lesson to the owners of small wood¬
lands, and to the boys and girls in
schools, giving them a knowledge they
have, as yet, no means of obtaining,
and developing an increasing interest
in forest preservation.
The town of St. John’s,New Bruns¬
wick, has carriod out a similar under¬
taking in its vicinity. Paths and
roads have been cut through a charm¬
ing stretch of woodland, and the re¬
sult is a park in which the natural pre¬
dominates, and the views that are af¬
forded, outside of the park, are of the
most delightful character. There are
towns and villages in European coun¬
tries having forests in their immedi¬
ate vicinity, where the same thing can
be seen, and it would be possible in
our own state to bring about equally
beneficial results in many places. The
money to bo had by cutting‘down the
“green-robed senators of mighty
woods” is as nothing when compared
with the sense of beauty that would
be developed by maintaining thorn in¬
violate.—-Philadelphia Inquirer.
COOD ROADS.
A Talk About Thom by Iiallrond Trcsl
dent Baldwin.
President William H. Baldwin of
the Long Island railroad delivered a
short address at the recent annual
meeting of the Brooklyn Good Roads
association, a society which has now
broadened its scope to include all
Long Island.
Mr. Baldwin first spoke of the good
roads of 2000 years ago in Italy, in
Greece and in. South America, as
shown by the ruins there. The Ap
piau Way was used today, and need¬
ed only occasiobal repairs. While in
Great Britain and France during the
summer he noticed macadamized roads
in every country district. He saw
miles of them in Scotland far from auy
house. At intervals ho saw stones
piled up for repairs wkon needed.
In England and Scotland, even
in the thinly settled parts of the
country, there were no suoh roads
ts those comprising 90 per cent, of
the roads in this country, The ques¬
tion of securing them here was merely
one of organization and how to get as
many miles of good roads built as
possible. He was sorry to say
that macadamized roads in this state
and Long Island were often of in¬
ferior construction, with light founda¬
tions. This class of roads abroad was
from 18 inches to three feet thick. It
was unwise economy to build roads
that would last only four or five years.
The influence of good roads on the
bnsiness of a community was most
striking. That village or city from
which good roads radiated was usu¬
ally prosperous in business. He hoped
to see sample roads constructed on
Long Island, and the railroad com¬
pany would co-operate in any way to
make them. The macadam roads
were very dusty at times. It was
proposed to lay the dii3t on tho Long
Island railroad next year with crude
oil, and he believed it could be done
on macadam roads. He appealed to
members of the association to get as
many new members as possible. It
would be a service to the publio as
well as to themselves.
A JPlea for the Bulldog.
No member of the canine family has
been more persistently maligned than
the bulldog. Writers who have.no
intimate knowledge of the dog and his
attributes have desoribed him as stu¬
pidly ferocious; and illustrators have
pictured him as a sort of semi-wild
beast, till the general public has come
to look upon him as dangerous.
“Give a dog a bad name” is an old
saw, and perhaps a trueone, but when
it is applied to the bulldog it is mani¬
festly unjust. Writers, too, have fall¬
en into grave error in claiming that
the bulldog is deficient not only in af¬
fection, but in intelligence.
No greater proof of the falsity of the
latter could be given than was wit¬
nessed at the late Westminster Ken¬
nel club’s dog show, when Colonel
Shults exhibited his trained dogs, with
the bulldog Nick performing all sorts
of wonderful feats, especially that of
walking a tight rope, and, when in the
centre of it, turning round and retrac¬
ing his steps, amid the applause of an
admiring audience.
Stonehenge, who is considered one
of the greatest of canine scientists,
claims that the bulldog’s brain is rela¬
tively larger than that of the spaniel,
which dog is intelligent generally considered to
be the most of the canine
race, while the build )g’s affection is
never to be doubted.—Outing.
Lulu Clark of San Francisco re¬
quested before her death that her false
toetli, filled ivith gold, be buried with
her.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.
WAS AN INFLATIONIST AND A
FIATIST.
nieroToro no Was Obnoxious to the
Money Lords and Incipient Aristo¬
crats of the Colony of Pennsylvania**—
Some of Ilia Wise Writings.
Amei-ica’s great philosopher, Benja¬
min Franklin, understood the money
question as well as he understood
most other questions. In the colony
cf Pennsylvania the people had a fight
on their hands (as In all periods) with
the moneyed classes in regard to the
volume of currency, and Ben Franklin
led the people's fight.
Dr. Franklin, in his Autobiography,
Lippincott’3 edition, page 199, Bays:
“About this time (1729) there was
a cry among the people for more paper
money, only fifteen thousand pounds
being extant in the province, and that
soon to be sunk. The wealthy inhabi¬
tants opposed any addition, being
against all paper currency (just as tbe
bankers and wealthy people of today
oppose tho issue of paper money by
the people), from the apprehension
that it would depreciate to the preju¬
dice of all creditors. We had discussed
this point in our Junto, where I was
on the side of an addition, being per¬
suaded that the first small sum struck
in 1723 had done much good by in¬
creasing the trade, employment and
number of inhabitants in the province,
since I now saw’ all those old buildings
Inhabited, and many new ones build¬
ing. Where as I remembered well, that
when I first walked the streets of Phil¬
adelphia, eating my roll, I saw most of
the houses in Walnut street between
Second and Front streets, with hills on
their doors ‘To be let,’ and many like¬
wise in Chestnut street, and other
streets, which made me think that Hie
inhabitants of the citv were deserting
it one after another.
“Our debates possessed me so fully
of the subject, that I wrote an anony¬
mous pamphlet on if, entitled 'The
Nature and Necessity of a Paper Cur¬
rency,’ it was well received by the
common people in general, but the rich
men disliked it, lor it increased and
strengthened tbe clamor for more
money, and as they happened to have
no writer among them that was able
to answer it, their opposition slackened
and the point was carried by a majori¬
ty in the house. The utility of the
currency became by time and experi¬
ence so evident as never to be much
disputed; so that it grew soon to
twenty-five thousand ptuyads, and iu
1739 to eighty thousand pounds, since
which ft arose during the war to up¬
wards of three hundred and fifty
thousand pounds—trade, buildings and
inhabitants all the while increasing.”
In 1733 the Assembly of Pennsylva¬
nia authorized an issue of paper money
—bills cf credit—to the amount of
£80,000. This money was to be put in
circulation by loaning not more than
£100 to any one person, upon real es¬
tate security of at least double the
value cf the loan, for a term of sixteen
years at 5 per cent interest. One
sixteenth part of the loan and accrued
interest was to be paid hack yearly.
.The interest was to be applied to public
improvements.
The British Parliament in 1751 pro¬
hibited the further issue of paper
money by the American colonies.
Dr. Franklin visited England and
protested against the act. Ho stated
to the British authorities that before
the issue of the paper money the colo¬
nies had neither silver nor gold, and
that because of this scarcity of metal¬
lic money it was with difficulty that
the trade could be carried on; but that
the introduction of paper currency had
given new life to business, and had
promoted greatly the settlement and
development of the country.
In 1753 began a struggle between the
assembly—the representatives of the
people—and the governor. The gener¬
al need of a larger circulation was
keenly felt and the assembly framed
several acts for the further issue of
bills of credit—paper money. The
governor, holding himself bound, fay
the instruction of the British Lords of
Trade, not to pass any bills without a
clause suspending the operation un¬
til the pleasure of his majesty should
bo known, either refused to allow them
to becomeUaws or else returned them
with amendments, which the assembly
considered as an infringement on their
liberties and refused to accept.
■ Dr. Franklin, replying to the British
Lords of Trade, said:
j “However fit a particular thing may
be for a particular purpose, whenever
that thing is not to,be had in sufficient
quantities, It becomes necessary to use
something else—the fittest that can be
gotten In lieu of It.”
The attention of Parliament being
called tp the matter of paper money
in the American colonies, passed an
act In 1764 prohibiting any bills of
credit of the colonies being made a
legal tender.
Ill 1764, while In England, Dr.
Franklin, In defense of paper money,
said: -
“On the whole no method has hith¬
erto been framed to establish a me¬
dium of trade, equal In all its advan¬
tages to bills of credit founded on suf¬
ficient taxes for discharging them, and
mado a general legal tender.”
At a later period. Dr. Franklin,
speaking of the paper money Issued by
the colony of Pennsylvania, said:
“Between the years 1740 and 1775,
while abundance reigned in Pennsyl¬
vania, and there was peace in all her
borders, a more happy and prosperous
population could uot be found. In ev-
ery home there was comfort, The
people generally were highly moral,
and knowledge avaa extensively dif¬
fused.”
“I wlH venture to say,” said Gover¬
nor Frownell, “that there was never a
wiser nor better measure, never one
better calculated to serve the interests
of an increasing country; and there
was never a measure more steadily
pursued er steadily executed, for forty
years together, than the loan office in
Pennsylvania, founded and adminis¬
tered by the assembly of that pro¬
vince.”
'‘The early notes of the colony,”
sajus Phillips’ American Currency,
“seam to have kept their credit well
and had not the revolution intervened
they would all have been redeemed at
par, an ample funds were always pro¬
vided by taxation or excise duty, in
the aafim act that issued the bills, for
their gradual but total extinction.”
David Hume, the historian, says in
substance: “In Pennsylvania the land
itself is Joined. A planter, Immediate¬
ly on the purchase of land, can go to a
public lesm office and receive notes to
the amount of half the value of his
land, whiuh notes he employs In all hl3
payments; and they circulate through
the colony by convention. No more
than a certain sum is issued to any
one planter; and each must pay back
into the public treasury, every year,
one-tenth of his notes. When they are
all paid back he can repeat the oper¬
ation.” .4 f
Coufid there be higher authority for
the bvfiief that the Increase of the
volume of currency in proportion to
the Increase of business Is beneficial
to producers, and that any kind of
money, in reasonable volume, will not
depreciate eo long as It is receivable
f or taxes? Both Franklin and Jeffer¬
son were not only bimetallists but they
cite actual experiment in Pennsylvania
and Virginia to prove that the treas¬
ury note, bottomed on taxes, is the
best circulating medium.

meringue of three whites and three
tablespoonfuls of sugar. This quan¬
tity makes one pudding, and is a most
delicious lemon pudding.
Veal Loaf with Tomato Sauce—One
pound of veal chopped fine, three Bos¬
ton crackers rolled fine and sifted, salt
and pepper, one egg well beaten.
Work until thoroughly mixed, form
into a loaf with the hands; butter a
tin, place the loaf in it, rub a little
butter on top, pour over this a cupful
of tomato catsup. Bake for one hour,
basting often. Serve cold with water
cresses.
Fried Potatoes—These two ways are
excellent: Slice them tho long way,
dip into egg and then into bread
crumbs, and fry in deep lard. Or chop
cold boiled potatoes, season well with
salt and pepper, put into a skillet with
very hot fat, and cover. Stir frequent¬
ly, then let a brown crust form on the
bottom, lift this, and stir again. Put
in a cupful of milk, cover tightly until
the milk is hot, then serve immediate
iy.
Scrapple—Take the amount of meat
you wish to use, two pounds of boef
and one and one-half pounds of fresh
pork. Cook in plenty of water till
tender; remove the meat, stir corn
meal into the li iiior ns you would
make mush. Cook until done. Chop
the meat very flue; season with salt,
pepper and a little sage; stir this into
tho mush, and turn out into dishes to
cool. Fry as you do mush for break¬
fast. In cold weal her this will keep
for a week or more. Watch it that it
doos not mold.
A Curious Town.
Tho most curious town i:i England
is Northwich. There is not a
straight street, nor, in fact, a straight
house in the place; every part of i! hai
tlie appearance of having recently
suffered from the visitations of an
earthquake. Northwich, as every one
knows, is the centre of the ealt indus¬
try. On nearly all sides of the town
are big salt works, with their engines
pumping hundreds of thousands of
gallons of brine every week. At a
depth of some 200 or 300 feet are im¬
mense subterranean lakes of brine,and
as the contents of these are pumped
and pumped away, the upper crust of
earth is correspondingly weakened,
aud the result is an occasional sub¬
sidence. These subsidences have a
“pulling” effect on the nearest build¬
ings, which are drawn all ways,giving
the town an upside down appearance.

It is
Not Strange
That so many people have lost
confidence in Medicines that have
been palmed off on the public as
“cures” for every disease with
which the human race is .afflicted
and frequently persons refuse to
believe anything they hear about
a reliable remedy.
