Why Georgians Won't Steal,

have been living in Georgia seven
years and have never had but one
visit from beggar. have never
locked my front door at night. My family
sometimes 60 from home on a visit to a
neighbor and stay all day and leave
the house unlocked, and nothing has
ever been stolen that we know OF. NV
stable and corn-crib is never locked.
No honcster people never lived than
live around us. My opinion is that our
people are most too lazy to steal and
wouldn't 60 after corn unless it was
shucked and shelled and sacked.
believe that if was to put bag full
of nice corn out at my front gate some
feller would take it and carry it off;
but they won't 60 to the crib after it.
1t is too much trouble. Bayard Taylor
tells OF a canton in Switzerland where
the merchant marks the price of his
goods and goes Oft to his little farm
and leaves the store open, and when a
man wants anything he goes in the
store and measures it or weighs it and
puts the money in the drawer. That is
Il good way and saves clerk hire, but
wouldn't advise our merchants to make
the experiment for fear of accidents.
The books might not exactly balance
when he took account of stock.--BtN

Smoking Cigarettes,

In one of the schools of Brooklyn ,
boy 13 years old, naturally very quicl
and bright, was found to be growing
dull and titful. His face was pale anc
he had nervous twitchings. He wa.
obliged to quit school. Inquiry showed
that he had become confirmed smok
er of cigarettes. When asked why he
did not give it up, he shed tears and
said that he had often tried, but coulG
not. The growth of this habit is insid
ious and its effects ruinoHs. The eyes,
the brain, the nervous system, the
memory, the power of application, are
all impaired by it. "lt's nothing but
a cigarette" is really 'It's nothing but
poison" German and French physi-
clans have recently protested against
it; and convention OF Sunday and sec
ular teachers was recently held in En-
gland to check it. 1t was presided over
by an eminent surgeon of Royal eye
intirmary, who stated that many dis
eases of the eye were directly caused
by it. Parents, save your children
from this vice, if possible. Do not al
low them to deceive You. In future
years they will rise up and bless you
for restraining them
1t is now known that old castaway
cigar stumps are used in the manufact-
ure of cigarettes. Boys are employed
to gather them from hotels, bar-rooms,
sdewalks--from wherever they are
thrown. Collectors buy them of the
boys and send them to the manufacto-
ries by the barrel. No matter how dis
gusting the spot whence they are pick
ed-whether from the spittoon with its
dangerous saliva. or the gutter with its
tilth-the foul refuse finds its way into
the mouth and nostrils of the cigarette
smoker.
Many q smoker throws away the
stump of his cigar because he does not
like the flavor Of it. He does not know
why the flavor is unpleasant to him,
but it is caused by nicotinc-the active
principle of tobacco and violent pois-
on. This accumulates in the base of
the cigar with every draft of the smoke,
and the man, noticing the unpleasant
flavor. throws the stump away. This
reservoir of nicotine finds its way into
the cigarette, and the person who
smokes it gets in condensed form the
poison which SO often works mischief
on the brains of habitual smokers.
Again, these cigar stubs-or any to-
bacco, for that matter, that is made into
cigarettes--is wrapped with paper
which contains very large per cent.
of arsenic or other deadly poisons, the
power of which exerts q deleterious ef-
feet upon the tonsils--in fact, the
whole throat-of al who use them; in
deed, it has been found impossible to
cure catarrh in inveterate cigarette
smokers.
But even this is not the worst of it.
These cigar stumps have been in the
mouths Of all sorts OF men-drunkards,
fast young men, rotten old roues,
whose very k SIS, or touch, or even the
pencil they have he'd in their mouths,
might communicate the foulest and
most fearful disease that comes to o
human being.

OantH.

Charity begins at home, and the
supply in some homes Is so extremely
limited that IL never progresses be-
yond the beginning and gives out
before IL makes the circuit of the
family circle. A man begins BY being
charitable to himself. He starts out
under the impression that be Is pos
sessed OF an inexhaustible reserve Of
charity. and spreads 1t over himself so
lavishly that his surprise is almost
stunning when his wife makes applica-
ton for modicum Of the article for
herself, and finds himself incapable of
making the supply equal 10 the demand.
He then realizes that he had mistaken
selfishncss for charity. OF course he
wouldn't like to admit that mistake
not even to his wife-he is conscious of
it, all the same, and it is mt at all con-
soling to him to know that his wife is
conscious OF it too.
Charity is virtue possessing a deal
of elasticity, and some people stretch it
to such an extent as TO make it as trans
parent as q coal sieve and about a suse-
fnl to the subject to which it is applied
as the sieve would be for carrying
water. That isn't the kind of charity
that covers amultitude of sins, although
it is the kind of charity generally dealt
in by those having q multitude of sins
under the mistaken impression that it
affords them an impenetrable pail over
their sins and white robe Of right
eousness to dazzle the eyes of the world,
and even to fool st. Peter himself, and
insure them an unchallenged passage
through the celestial gate.
A good, healthy, vigorous kind of
charity is not less valuable for its rarity
than its usefulness. The rarity of this
kind OF charity doesn't lie so much in
the difficulty of procuring il as in the
dispensation of il. The man who is
reduced to such an extremity of impe-
cuniosity as TO be compelled to stand
around restaurant doors and derive his
diurnal susienance rom the succulency
of cast-away tooth-picks, isn't too poor
to load himself from head to feet with
the very best kind of charity, if he'll
only take the trouble to realize that it
consists in word kindly spoken, or the
smallest act kindly performed, as well
as in munifcent contributions to hos
pitfalls and the general run of public and
private benefactions.
There is nothing SO easily obtainable
as an inexhaustible supply of good
wholesome charity, because the uni
versal source of it Is illimitable, and
every household can keep it in stock
by preparing reservoir for it and
never closing the check-valve. And
being procured without money and
without price, it should be reciprocally
dispensed to one another on the same
liberal terms. And the wonder is
that isn't.-Green Bay Sunday i'd
Udnce.

a Hero in a New Role.

In a performance at Harrigan
Hart's theater there is scene rep.
resenting Castle Garden, in which
Capt. Joi,n Hussey, the veteran gate
keeper at Castle Garden, who has
rescued from drowning twenty-six
persons and two horses, is represented
as jumping overheard to rescue a
drowning person. Capt. Hussey went
to see the play on Wednesday night
and was recognised by the stage man
ager, who sent for him.
Capt. Hussey, l observed you in the
audience" he said, 'and would like
you to come on the stage and act the
part in which you are represented. :"
"All right" said Hussey in stem
torian voice.
You will not get frightened and run
away, will you, Jack?'
"Shure, Oil not; divil a bit. Show
me the way an you'll see as good
an actor as ever was before an au-
dience."
When the scene was represented in
which man falls overheard, and the
crv was given, IA man overboard;
where's John HusseyP" the latter ap-
peared, his left breast well covered
with medals; and shouted, where
is he? Show me him." Hussey was
Immediately recognized, and he was
given an ovation. He did not appear
the least illustrated, but finished his
part; and he is now hopeful of being
engaged as a "star. ''-New York

The Way He PLAYED Il,

He is a young man with 4 thorough
understanding of the leading traits in
human nature. He dresses well, car
ries an extra cigar. and he drops in
and presents a card to the effect that
he is engaged in canvassing for an en-
bryo-work to be known as 1.-The Ency-
clopedia of States
Eyes, but guess | don't care to

."Oh, but don want you to. The
book will be sold on its merits. | am

nent--"
Here he makes n pause to allow the
shot to strike, and then continues:
-"Citizens of Detroit the most emil
nent and prominent citizens of Detroit
to ecure brief sketches of their lives"
"Ah" says the other. rs he begins to
melt.
I'VE desire to take five of the most
prominent citizens of this county. In
the sketches we desire 10 know how
they have risen from poor boys to
great and honored men,"
Here occurs another pause to allow
the victim to tickle himself.
"Well--a--well-"
You were the first of FIVE selected"
chips in the young man. 'My mission
is to secure your photograph in order
to make steel engraving. In the
course of ten days will be followed by

"Well-ah--I think so.h

"How did You know
IL brought no gold with me-"
ut is very common trick, and gen.
orally succeeds. said the Judge to the
lawyer. "lt is clear that Miss Sammis
did not know the money was counter
felt"
The LAWYER took the lady home. On
the way they scarcely spoke; but alone
in her own room. Miss Sammis, over
whelmed with shame. wept herself ill.
She might have felt only Indignation
at a false arrest. but she knew in her
inmost soul that when she falsely
claimed that money, she was at heart
thief.
She began to think as she had never
thought before, and she understood
that she inherited the miser's mania,
and that it was growing on her, so that
she, rich woman, had, as she believ-
ed, taken from poor and honest man
what did not belong to her.
1t was true she had been tricked and
cheated, but that did not alter the
facts.
Then she prayed for help, and grew
strong. She did not alter her plain
way OF living. but she entertained her
friends and gave to the poor. She saw
W tuc VI lCl COuSiuS,
and sent many kind gift to her aunt,
and she helped her pastor in his work.
Kindly feeling grew in her heart, and
her face softencd, and she grew agreea-
BILE in appearance and attractive in
manner.
And, finally, the most soitening in
fuence in the world filed her heart.
She loved a good man, who loved her
tenderly. Together they live among
their children in old HOMETOWN, and
are known as the most kindly of its
people. No worthy charity but has
been aided by them. No good object
but they are ready to further.
The miser's daughter has conquered
her hereditary vice--one so nearly al
lied to dishonesty that the miser is al
ways ready TO become thief, and gen.
orally is one-and the angels smile
over her victory.

A good Old lazy says when she was a
girl letters were as richly worth a
quarter as they are now cents. They

while they are convenience they en-
