A Wonderful Georgia Woman

The following particulars we get
from Mr.. George G. Watson, living
near the home of the subject of the
sketch: A lady of the seventh dis
trict of Worth county has become
insane on the subject of religion.
Her fermentation was first noticed
about a month ago, soon after the
close of a protracted meeting at
Union Baptist church, near her
home. She attended the different
services very regularly, and seemed
deeply impressed and troubled
from their first commencement. A
short while before the meeting
closed she joined the church. Co
ing back home her incoherent,
maddened and rambling conduct
was noticed by her husband
and children, and they became ter
ribly excited and wrought up about
it. She went raving about the
house and yard with a bucket
of water, baptising everything in
her pathway. She baptlsed her
husband and each one of her chill
dren, and while doing this sang the
most beautiful songs-songs that
she had heard but once or twice.
Although an unlettered woman cher
husband will swear this), she reads
any chapter in the Bible readily,
pronouncing correctly and distinct
ly, paying attention to punctuation
points, &c. She breaches nearly all
the while, and our informant says
uses the choicest words and dis
plays great wisdom and knowledge
in the handling of different sub
jects. Although not Mason, she
knows all the mysteries of that
mysterious craft by heart. Dozens
of Masons have gone to see her,
and they all come away dumbfound
ed. Her husband hes come to
the conclusion that she is a
witch. She has attempted acts of
violence, but as yet done no harm.
He, with outside assistance, tried
at one time to. incarcerate her in
one of the rooms of the house, but
the doors became unmanageable
and would not stay locked. She
has not slept in eighteen days and
nights, and during that time has ia
ken but a few morsels of food
This is one of the strangest cases
we have ever heard of. Hundreds
are focking to see the frenzied wo-
man. Albany (Ga. News.

orous condition, elaborates enough
nervous force, not only for an ordi
nary, but for vast deal of extraor-
dinary use directly from the raw
material in the blood, for in such
cases all raw material is furnished
in proportion to the expenditure.
But IN "nervousness" of every
form the balance is disturbed; the
supply is not equal to the demand; /;
hence there is a state of nervous
exhaustion.
By carefully guarding the outgo,
the person may enjoy a tolerable
degree of health; but he feels, often
to prostration, "a little extra demand,
especially if pIotracted. Generally
self-control is weakened; one is
easily startled; laughter and tears
come at trihes; the person is
toucby, perhaps hysterical; the
blood is impoverished, and hence
no organ or tissue in the body is
properly fed, nor can fully do it's
work.
This deficiency of nerve-force
may result from deficient diet; the
abuse of stimulants; too little sleep;
protracted overwork of brain or
muscle; long continued care, ankle
ty or grief; sensual or emotional
excess of any kind; and lack Of re-
creation,

Be Short.

Long visits, long stories, long es
says, long exhortations. long ser
mons and long prayers, seldom
profit those who have anything tc
do with them. Life is short. Time
is short.
Moments are precious. Learn to
condense, abridge and intensity
We can bear things that are dull, il
they are only short. We can en-
dure many an ache and i'll if it is
over soon, while even pleasure
grows insipid, and pain intolerable,
if they are protracted beyond the
limits of reas N and convenience.
Learn to be short. Lop off branch
es, stick to the main fact in your
case. If you pray, ask for what
you think you viii receive and get
through; if you speak tell your
message and hold your peace; boil
down two sentences into one, and
three words into two. Always,
when practicable, avoid lengthiness

er hand, crops in Europe, as a rule,
are failure.
In England the grain produced
will be less than usual.
In France it will be very much
less than usual.
In Italy the crops arc said 70 bo
nearly entirely ruined.
In Germany they are reported 10
be very fair, though fair only.
But in Austria Hungary ana
Southern Russia, the real granaries
of Europe and the only countries
that compete with the United States.
the grain crops are reported to DO
seriously damaged, If not partially
ruined.
Under these circumstances We
can see no possible reasons why
exports of this years crops should
not bring a larger amount of money
to this country than any previooa
year ever brought-bring il in gold,
too.
We think that every indication
points to a prosperous fall trade.
For money in the pocket Of the
shipper means money for the farm
er, and indirectly money for nearly
every branch of trade and industry.

The Prospects for Business.

st. Louis Post and Dispatch
Every country depends upon its
crops more or less. But some
countries depend upon the crop OF
others.
England and France, not to speak
of others. are in the latter condi-
ton. They would be without bread
but for foreign grain. For years
they had to import their bread.
The great wheat producing and
exporting countries in Europe are
Hungary and Russia. They are the
only competitors the United States
have in supplying both England
and France.
Now, looking at it from a com,
monplace business stand point, the
situation appears TO be about this:
Our crops in this country-both
grain and cotton-wiI, beyond
question, be excellent. On the 9TH

The Blue-Glass Theory Revived.

The latest Boston medical idea is
an elaboration of the blue glass
theory. Sunlight is thrown into
the water through colored lenses,
and thus curative qualities are i'm
parted to the water. "The SUMS
rays" he explains, "are composed
of actual substances with their ex
quisite and wonderful chemical
powers, and, aided by spectrum anal
ysis, / have been able to give the
leading elements that compose each
color. Each color has its own dis
tinct power to heal" Red, orange,
and yellow are warm colors, and di-
rectly exciting in their nature, while
blue and violet are soothing. His
manner of applying these remedies
Is as follows: "Health comes from
the equilibrium of colors in the hu-
maa system, and whenever any one
color is so much in excess as TO
produce disease, harmony must be
brought about by finding the color
which is its chemical affinity. Thus
if a person abounds in redness, as
in red hair and flushed skin, he
needs blue light. Whenever the
blue prevails too much, so as to give
blue veins, blue finger nails, and a
pale cold condition, the warm red
and orange light is needed. When
a person has too great a nervous ac-
tivity, the yellow together with
some red elements OF his system are
too active, and he needs the violet
and blue elements of sunlight to
his forces and act as de-
hghtful nervines." Converts to this
new school of medicine suspend
color lenses over bowls of water
and drink the warm fluid.

Remedies for Corns.


A bit of linen dipped in turpen-
tine and wrapped around the corn
night and morning, IL perseVercd in, I,
will give relief. Arnica applied
likewise will alleviate the pain.
Lemon juice is also beneficial, soft.
ening the hard skin SO that with n
blunt knife a considerable portion
of the corn may be removed. The
easiest way TO apply it is. cut off a
piece of lemon, then nick IL so as TO
let in the toe with the corn and bind
on at night. Repeat twice or thrice.
A good corn plaster can be made by
heating ounces. Of yellow wax In
two ounces OF purified ammonia,
and, just before IL is cold, add six
drachms of acetate of copper.
Spread this ointment on n piece Of
soft leather. Before applying, soak
the corn for some time in a solution
Of soda and pare as closely as pos
sible. Corns are ensirely owing TO
continued pressure on some one
part. At first they are the produc-
ion Of the outer skin alone, but by
gradual thickening they become
connected rot only with the true
kin beneath, but even with the adj
AGENT muscles, and, like many an
,ther evil, prevention is better than
,ure.

An Absurd Story.

The following piece of spiritual
istic nonsense comes from Kansas.
Though the whole story bears upon
it's face the greatest of absurdities,
yet the believers in spiritualism
drink it down as truth, plainly prov
ing that all the simpletons are not
dead yet:
sit is never too late to marry.
One night last week LADY who had
been dead about thirty years was
married in Leavenworth, Kan, to a
gentleman who died a quarter of a
century ago. The spirits of the
bride and bridegroom were mate
rialized, and received the congratu-
lations of select company of spir-
iGualists. The table was spread,
the guests were seated, places were
reserved for the bride and groom,
and elegant bouquets were set in
front of their plates. The an
nouncement was soon made from
the cabinet that the spirits were
ready. The guests, one after an
other, were invited up to the apper
ture, where both the lady and the
husband were presented, both ap-
pearing with perfect distinctness,
receiving the guests pleasantly and
entering freely into conversation
with them. After this, one account
says, both spirits walked out of the
cabinet, across the room, and took
the places reserved for them at the
table. The bride wore an elegant
heavy satin dress, white as light,
with the conventional veil and
orange blossoms. The groom wore
the regulation black broadcloth and
white waistcoat, with full blown
rose in the button hole of the coat"

A Historic Country.


Egypt was the land visited by
Abraham in search of food when
there was famine in his own coun.
try-the land to which Joseph was
carried as a slave, and which he gov
erned as prime minister. From
Egypt Moses led the Israelites
through the Red Sea. Here Jere-
miah wrote his Lamentations. Here
Solon Pythagoras, Plato, and many
other Greek Philosophers came TO
study. Here Alexander the Great
came as conqueror. Egypt taught
the world the use of paper made OF
its rushes-the papyrus. Egypt
founded the first public library
and the first college of learned men,
namely: the Alexandrian Museum.
Here Euclid wrote his "Elements
Of Geometry" Theocritus his poems
and Lucian his Catalogues" Here
the beautiful Cleopatra, the last
Egyptian queen, held Julius Caesar,
and then Mark Anthony, captive.
In Egypt were built the first mon
asteries. The Christian fathers
(Origen and Athasian) controversy
began there. The buildings which
now remain are the oldest and larg-
est in the world. On the bank OF
its great river may be seen the old
est arch and the oldest column. Up
this noble stream sailed Herodotus,
the most entertaining Of traqelers,
and, Strabo, The most judicious. In
