"There can be no doubt of one thing
and that is that the building will be
grand and imposing in appearance.
Its proportions are fine and its az
chitectural design in every way state

stories high, with parapet running
all around, giving it a solid and sub
stantial appearance. From the cen

like the dome of the capitol at Wash

In fact, the building reminds one Of
the capitol at Washington city and

purposes for which it was designed.

are lighted directly from the outside.

Senator Colquitt has introduced q
bill authorizing the payment of a
claim to the State of Georgia for
money advanced for the public

Hov To Keep the Witches A,cay.

A policeman was searching negro house
in Campbell's Block yesterday, and turning
over pillow on the bed found case-knife
under it.
"What is this knife here fora' he asked,
sternly.
"Gimme dat!" excitedly shouted the ne
gro woman, who was in the room.
''Dats miner'
''What is it under here fora" asked the
officer.
''Ter keep witches from riden' me.''
'Whatr'
"Yessur; 'cepin' has da' knife under my
head de witches rides me all night. hear
folks say if you put a sitter on de foot of the
bed de witches can't ride yer; but 1 tried
dat sitter don't stop no witch. 1t takes a
sharp knife under yer head ter keep de
witches off. If knife amt sharp, old witch
lights on yer and she ride yer. If knife is
sharp she can't light on you. Some
times lay and hear old witch come in de
winder. She go zing, zing, zip but she
can't light on me cause got de knife I'M
der my head.'
The officer was taken back, but began to
understand the situation when the woman
showed him that all the beds in the house
were supplied with knives to keep the old
witch off. The woman said the white folks
told her the "old witch'' was the nightmare,
when her blood did not circulate, but the
colored people did not believe that, but
thought they were ridden in their sleep by
an old witch An inquiry developed the
fact that the superstition exists to very
considerable extent among negroes.-Aha,s-

The Chinese Farmer.

The homestead of the the farmer is usually
sheltered with groves of feathery bamboo and
thick spreading banyans. The walls are of
clay or wood and the interior of the house
consists of one main room extending from
the floor to the tiled roof with closet-looking
apartments in the corners for sleeping rooms.
There is a sliding window on the roof made
of cut oyster shells arranged in rows, while
the side windows are mere wooden shutters.
The floor is the bare earth, where at nightfall
there often gathers together miscellaneous
family of dirty children, fowls, ducks, pige-
ons and litter of pigs, all living together in
happy harmony. In some districts infested
by marauding bands houses are strongly forti-
fled with high walls, containing apeItures for
firearms and protected by moat crossed by
a rude Grawbridge. With grain, swine and
well under his roof, the farmer and his
men might hold out against a years siege,
Early in the morning the laborer may be
seen issuing forth with his pillow on his shout
ders and preceded by one or two buffaloes.
The plowis rude implement, consisting of
a small iron share, wooden stem and a
handle. 1t speaks volumes for Chinese con
servatism that their implements of husban-
dry to-day are precisely the same kind as
were used four thousand years ago.

Incomes of Literaru Men.

George Augustus Sala does not put in as
much hard work as many Of our American
journalists do, but he leaves his competitors
miles and miles out of sight when it comes
to growing and grumbling. Mr.. Sala is paid
$4,000 a year by the London Illustrated
News for page week. He gets another
$4,000 year from the Daily Telegraph for
an occasional column editorial. Besides
this he has an income from his books and
magazine articles. This is very fair pay-in
fact, it is remarkably high pay for journals
tic work. And it will compare favorably
with the remuneration of English literary
men. Mr.. Tennyson only makes $40, 600 a
year. Mr.. Blacks novels yield him twice as
much. Mr. Charles Reade averaged S25 a
page. Mr.. Herbert Spencer finds it difficult
to earn five shillings page. An unknown
shoe makers son receives $1,000 year from
a London publisher for writing comic stories
From these specimens, hastily culled, it will
be seen that Mr.. Sala has very little cause
for complaint.

APAPAL ENCYCLICAL.
Church and State Harmed Agai,tst masonrl
nIlL Gpcrpt Gnciofiea

Church and State Harmed against masonry
and Secret Societies.
Rome, April II. In an encyclical letter of
the pope, which will be published next week,
Pope Leo XIIlays special stress upon Free
masonry and the means to be employed to
defend ''the City of God'' against ''the City
of Satan" The following is resume of the
letter.
The plan Of the secret societies is no long
er mystery. 1t is a struggle against the
church, and the Iarious popes have very
properly excomunicated Freemasonry. For
$50 years the secret societies have increased
frightfully. A grave peril thus threatens So
cety. The socialist has his source of strength
in Missionary. The papacy is placed in an
intolerable situation. Masonry does not
avow its real object; it deceives the innocent
by a varnish of liberation.
The press, marriage, education, the sover-
eighty of the people, the atheism of the
state, radicalism, communism, all tend to-
ward return of paganism. Masonry fiatters
princes in the hope of having them for auxi-
liaries. Governments should choose between
Masonry and the Church, which sustains au-
thority and inculcates obedience.
The pope thus prescrbes to bishops their
duties: First by pastoral letters unmask
secret societies and make people abhor them :;
second, extend Christian education; third,
urge agricultursts and workingmen to or
ganize Catholic associations and conferences
of st. Vincent de Paul; fourth, watch schools
and exhort youth never to become members
of any society without first consulting their
priests. The pope, ends this encyclical by
imploring the aid of the Blessed Virgin.
This encyclical will not be published here
before next week. The Osservatore Romano
will give extracts on Saturday.
An officer of the court of cessation has no.

Eide of the recent decision of the court in
regard to the conversion of the property of

Speaker Coriisle,s Life.

When Speaker Carlisle first entered con-
gress, six year ago, he was so modest and
quiet that Speaker Randall did not know of
his presence and failed to put him on a
single committee. AS congressman on the
floor Mr.. Carlisle was attentive to his duties
He was much interested in the larger cues
tons of legislation and dealt with them in a
purely scientific spirit. As a speaker his
absolute fairness and impartiality strike ev-
eryone. Of course everybody understands
that the Speaker of the House leads dogs
life. He is almost deviled to death by office
seekers, politicians and cranks. Mr.. Car
Isle manages to keep his head on his shout
ders, and by working nights and Sundays he
keeps up with his work. Frequently when
he drives home in the evening he finds Mrs.
Carlisle holding reception, and he always
goes in to help her out, but not with the
same enthusiasm which he displays in un-
tangling snarl in the House. The social
and business cares of his position are wearing
on him and his face has look of settled
calm, Indicative of had work and boredom.
