acquired. If the several forms mention

Wanted Information.

Every little while we stumble upon
the sign ''lntOrmatiOn wanted, and
other indications of the same sort, show
inc that the great thrObbing, anxious
world is in need of information. 1t
seems strange at first that with all our
bOasted advancement we still must adj
NIT this frightful lack Of information.
But we have found where it GOES to,
and thus portion of the mighty prob
lem is solved.
A boy we met on an overland train
the other day, is the party who has aD-
sorbed it all He is the guilty one, and
he is to blame for the dearth hereinbe-
fore mentioned. He was an animated

boy did. He wasn't large boy and he
didn' look healthy and hungry as most
boys do. but he turned his great, soul
full eyes upon us and squeezed knOWi-
edge out of us that we hadn't used for
years. We took down from shelf in

statistics and unique stories and things

went to work on 4 job lot of impromptu

what good care he took that the animal

We tried going into some other car, but
he never failed to follow. and finally we
were compelled to get off the train at
Red Buttes. That walk of eight miles
we believe saved our life.
Now, whenever we see the words

A Georgia newspaper discredits the
story about the celebrated Providence
Spring, which gave relief to so many
starving soldiers in the AndersonvilIe
prison pen. The Oldest inhabitants, it
says, assert that the spring had been
known for years before the war When
the stockade was first built. it was Just
outside The Enclosure, but in the course
of time was filled up. a few weeks
thereafter it found another outlet inside
the wall. It's little wonder that the
suffering wretches within the death hole
thought there was something supernatu.

A Nav Flavor.

A gentleman who has an Office in
New street was up the river on bust
ness few days ago, and waiting at the
depot for his train stepped across the
street and sat down to a dish Of ice
cream. Three tastes and q nibble salts
fed him, and as he paid for the stuff he
said to the old lady behind the coun-
ter:
Madam, you can improve that ice
cream so per cent. at 4 slight cost. "
"Why, how?"
Add quart of soft soap to each i'm
perial gallon of cream, and stir in 4
little vinegar as you serve it.
My stars! but you don't say so! I'll
try that recipe in the very next batch
make"

AbluI Names.

The old saying that there is no ac-
counting for tastes IS often cXemplitied
in curious ways. For example. the
choice Of given names presents wide
field and whim, chance. prejudice and
other emotions Of the mind often dictate
the choice of the most absurd names
for children. which often cause pang
to the owner in after life TO illustrate
we may cite the case of 4 man whose
patronymic was Rose. unto whom
daughter was born. In the pride of bis
heart he named her Wild, and she re-
joiced IN the pretty romantic c0onOmcn
OF Wild Rose, until she married n Mr.
Bull, when the charm was broken. and
if in the course of q little matrimonial
difference he called her a Wild Bull there
was sure to be fusilade of crockCYY

The Worlds Prattiest Woman

Keswick, in Cumberland, can boast
Of one charming possession in the shape
of the prettiest woman in England. She
is barmaid at the Nelson wine vaults
of that town. Her name is Edith Twen-
lyman, and she is reportedto be as good
and modest as she is beautiful. She
has the gorgeous milk-and-rose com
pleXion that is rarely seen outside Of
England. united with splendid eyes,
full, dark and lustrous as those OF 3
gazelIe, pearly teeth, regular features,
with rich dark hair, growing low on the
brow, and figure whose fine outlines
were not to be concealed by the cut o:
her country made-gown. She is simply
dazzling, and how such pearl OF
beauty has been left hidden in this quiet
little town is q marvel. She is well
educated. paints in water-colors. and is
perfectly free from all vanity and self
consciousness. Had she been born .
French woman she would ere this have
c}azzIed the public in some mute role in
one OF the great spectacular plays OF
the day. AS it is, she viii probably fol,

there is a large quantity Of produce on

Some rotation of crops is nearly always
essential to the best farming, and grass
