COMPARTMENTS

Cares Alcoholism, Drunkenness and the habit of Opium Eating. These degrading habits gre by far the worst evils that have ever bsfallen suffering humanity. Thou sands die annually from these noxious drugs. The drunkard drinks liquor not bsssusS he likes 1t, but for the pleasure of drinking and treating his friends, little thinking that he is on the road to ruin. Like the Opium Eater, he first uses the lruE in small quantities @ harmless an- 4dote. The soothing influences of the drug takes sti ons hold upon its victim, leading him on to his own destruction. The hRbits of Opium Eating and Liquor Drinking are precisely what eating is to alinentiveness,s ss over-eating in1amca the stomach. which rcdouoles its craving until 1t paralyEes both the stomach and Appetite. Sc every drink of liquor or dose of opium, instead Of satisfying, snly adds to its fierce fires, until 1t consumesthe vi- aal force and then itself. Like the giut- tonous tape-worn, it cries ''Giye. give, give" hut never enough until its own ra- pacity devours itself. Samaritan Nervine Sivss instant relief in all such csses. It Dro4uces sleep, quiets the nerves, builds Xp the nervous syster-, and restores body And mind to c healthy condition.

What a Woman Reads.

Woman, in reading newspaper, has
a distinct method of her own. She takes
it up hurriedly and begins to scan it
over rapidly, Us though she was hunting
some particular thing; but she is not.
She is merely taking in the obscure par
agraphs, which she believes We're put in
out-of-the-way places for the sake Of
keeping her from seeing them.
Marriages and deaths are always in
teresting reading to her, and the adj
refreshments are exciting and stimula-
ting. She cares but little for printed
jokes, unless they reflect ridicule upon
the men, and then she delights in them
and never forgets them.
She pays particular attention to any
thing inclosed in quotations., and con-
siders it rather better than anything
first handed.
The column in which the editor airs
his opinions, i'm loaded hifalutin, she
rarely reads. Views are of no import
ance in her estimation, but facts are
everything. She doesn't care for it but
makes practice of reading it because
she thinks she ought to do SO.
She reads stories and sketches and
paragraphs Unfortunately, and be-
lieves every word of them. After she
has read all she wants she lays the pa
per down with an air Of disappointment
as she observes that there is nothing
in it,"

The Formulation of tho Air.

Ancient Pantheism animates all ma
ture. Gnomes in cavcrns, naads in
springs, sylphs in tho air, represented
life, pervading everything. Twenty
centuries have passed. science has re-
suscitated these elementary genii under
the form of organic germs; and we are
forced to-day to recognize that the real
ity surpasses all the bold conceptions
OF the fable. From pole to pole the at
mosphere transports myriads Of micros-
cOpic animals and plants. They are
counted by hundreds in each cubic me-
tire of air that we breathe in Paris. De
veloping themselves in the organic in
fusions into which they fall, they soon
determine their complete decomposition;
and they play their parts in virulcnt dis
eases and in lamentations. No doubt
is permissible on this point after the adj
nirable labors of nj. Pastcur; and ev-
cry day new workman brings his stone
us contribution To the grand cdiiice of
which this illustrious Psychologist has
drafted the plan and himself laid the
impregnablc foundations. Louis o.

One of the Old Stack,

Colonel Thurmond, of Athens, an
attorney, had an instrument Of writing
in court the validity of which needed to
be proven, and which could only be
done by the owner of the signature
found thereon swearing to the same.
The witness was called, and an old
gray-haired man, who had lived over
his three score and ten, took the stand
and Colonel Thu Ind handed him the
paper and asked:
"Is that your signature, sirp"
The old gentleman looked at the pa
per closely and said:
"Wa'al, I'll tell yer, lie Citing old,
and my eye-sight are not SO good as il
wunst was, but if somebody will loan
me a pair Of specks, praps | kin cipher
it OUT
A pair Of glasses were furnished him,
and he scrutinizingly gazed at the docu.
ment again.
'Wellr' said the lawyer:
The witness continued to peer at the
paper.
VERY wellr' Col. Thurmond said
again. waiting for the witness to decide.
"Wa'al' said the old man, ''that ar is
my fist"
"YOu can come down, SIR"
But instead of looming down." the
old man turned his eyes ON the court,
and after gazing at him, said:
.'Jedge, is you old man Nath Hutch
ms boy?"
HE was my father" answered the
court.
"Wa'al, give me your hand, ledge,
kaze l loved yer daddy, and l is awful
glad to see his boy fOllOwin' in his foot
marks"
The court gave the old man his hand,
and after shaking it heartily, the wit
ness stepped from the stand and started
out of the courtroom. When he had
gotten out of the bar, and was about
midway Of the hall, he turned abruptly
about, and said in rather loud tone Of
voice:
Here here's them ar specks, if any
of youns wants 'em."
The courtroom was in an uprOar OF
laughter. but the old man never smiled,
rs he returned the glasses and left the
house. Ebert (Ga.) South.

Fishing for Gray Snappers in Florida.

About Garden Key tho gray snapper
is exceedingly abundant, and is one of
the finest Of tho purley saltwater fishes
of the South. In deep water they may
be caught readily with crawfish bait;
but about tho shoal water they are willy
in the extreme, and require fisherman
that knows the ropes to catch them.
They run in size about like our striped
bass, but are deeper and much hand
somer fish. Wehave seen u green hand
drop his white line and sinker. with bait
carefully covering the point, into water
and hold it by the half hour. the noble
fish distinctly seen in seventy feet of
water. swimming by in pairs, not giving
it the slightest notice. BY and by Sandy,
one Of the colored habitues Of the Key,
saunters down to the dock, and the fol-
lowing conversation ensues:
'.Dem fish is a-laughin' ut you, boss. :"
"How SOP" remarked the patient fish
erman.
.'Kase dey thinks you thinks dey's fool
ish. Specs OATS de way you fish up
Moth. You can't fool desc snappers
wifi dat line"
.They won't bite" was the reply.
Eyes, dey will. said Sandy. "You jes
keep yo' eyes on me, boss"
Willing TO be taught, the fisherman
hauled in his line, and Sandy, scizing an
old piece Of iron barrel-hOOp, ran down
to the beach, waded in. and soon, by
some slashing blows, cut down score
Of young sardines that lined the beach.
He then pulled out gray-colored line
that exactly resembled the bottom. The
hook was attached to foot and a-hali
of slender copper wire. and sardine
hooked through tho tail. 1t was tossed
over with plenty Of slack, and the fish
soon seen lying on the bottom. The
snappers that at first seemed shy gath
cred around, and Sandy, by dexterous
twitching of the line, soon made it ap
pear to them that the fish was alive
The wire was invisible, and the fish seem
ell in frantic struggle, its bright sides
cleaning and flashing even ut that depth
The snappers seemed irresistibly drawn
to it, and finally, after nosing il severa
times. huge fellow took it daintily anc
started off. Sandy Stacked away, bu
in moment more he hooked the game
Then came the Kissing, rushing OF til,
line. the welcome pain of burnt fingers
stacking, playing, and hauling, unit
finally, in ten minutes from the time tn,
line went over, magnificent snapper
lay quivering on the dock.-N. Y. Post

To What End Shall We Educate2

Mr.. Sill puts his educational theory in
the following nutshell. which, rs will be
seen, finds no room for nature. He SAYS:
1.-The truth is, there is Il permanent as
piration i'm man for spiritual enlarge
ment, for higher and richer planes of
intellectual being. This aspiration has
in every age reached out, no doubt
more or less blindly. after whatever was
greatest and best in preceding human
attainments. Latin and Greek have
been studied, not alone, rs our author
almost seems to suppose, rs words and
for words' sake. but for the vital con-
tact they give with the living men who
thought in Latin and Greek"
Now, granting this permanent hun
ger for spiritual enlargement, the ques-
ton still remains how that hunger is to
be appeased. Mr.. Sill says by 1.-THE
accumulation Of man thought and feel
ing concerning human life and affairs. !"
But Uhat Recommendations Why, the
literary treasures of Greek and Latin,
of course. The warnings of human
nature after intellectual illumination
are to be met, not from the magnificent
treasures of truth whish are now the
grandest possessions of humanity, but
by the undeveloped thought OF two
thousand years ago. and by bringing
tho minds of our youth Unto vital con-
tact with the living men who thought
in Latin and Greek" The absurdity Is
self-evident. Mems aspirations are not
TO be thus satisfied. The thought con-
corning human life and affairs which
we require for mental cultivation is
modern thought-the knowledge which
bears upon the emergencies to be en-
cOuntered. Only by the light OF the
most advanced science can AFFAIRS IN
these times be intelligently dealt with.
Our age is full of living questions when
can only he resolved by modern meth
eds. To go back thousands Of years
after the intellectual help We need is
simply to shirk the Responsiveness OF
the present age.-Pop"lar Science
