300 pigs. which had been gwen barrel of
spoiled elderberry wine all at once with
their sWill. Their behavior was intense
lv human. exhibiting all the usual mani
festations of jolly gOod-fellowshIp, includ-
inc that advanced stage where a group
were rolling over each other and grunting
affectionately in tones that were distinct
iyeIy expressive of swearing gOOd-fellOw-
ship all around. Their reeling and stag
gering. and the expression Of their fea-
lures. all indicated that alcohol had the
same effect on pigs as on men; that un-
der its influence both stood precisely on
the same geological level" He quotes
also NM Duiardin-Beaumetz and Au
dige's account to the French Academy
of Sciences of their experiments during
three years on the effects of alcoholic diet
on pigs. eighteen of these animals were
treated sumptuously, according to old
fashioned notions Of hospitality, by mix
ing various alcOhols with their food, in
proportions about corresponding to a
modest halfpint of wine at dinner. The
alcohols that we drink in wine, malt
liquors, whisky, Hollands, brandy, etc.,
invariably produced sleep, prostration,
and general lassitude, while absinthe { in
cluded as another variety of alcohol pro-
duced an eXcitatiOn resembling enilepsy.
Some of the animals died from the effects
of alcoholic poison. The survivors were
killed and subjected to post norton ex=
animation. All were found to be injured,
but the mischief was greatest when crude

WAS 1T PAULINE MARKHAM ?
Decline of an Old Time Famous High
Kicker.


! met n woman whose fame for beauty.
if not for ability, was limited a few years
ago only by the boundaries of this country.
Her form and face were themes for rhap-
sOdic praise, and her arm and voice caused
one Of Americas most distinguished
lterati to indulge in the most extravaganza
laudation that has ever been bestowed
upon an actress. Her diamonds were so
numerous and costly that they attracted
general attention, and altogether her pros
perity was Il source of envy to the poorer
women of the stage who came in contact
with her. 1t did not seem then that she could
ever be in want of anything. But in the
years that have interviewed between that
time and the present changes came, which
showed how utterly false that appearance
was. The particular line of theatrical
business in which this woman became IA
nous had its day, and the ever tickle taste
of the public demanded something new
and something different. The people who
had been most lavish in their praise stow
ed her away in the lumber-loft of forgot
ten things, only to be now and then re-
called as a vision of animal lOveliness. l
met this woman the other day, as | have
said. But about her there was no evil
dence of the prosperity which she had
known. She was neatly but plainly
dressed, and there was bitterness in her
speech which showed how keenly she felt
the change in her circumstances.

Facts About Georgia's Crops Last
Year.

The Department Of Agriculture OF TINS
State. in supplemental report, has com
pared the crops of 1888 with those OF 1857.
A the comparison is based on reports re-
ceiyed from all parts of the state, IL Is
probable that it is approximately correct
The average number OF bales Of cotton per
acre in 1888 was O.35, or a little more thah
one-tbird of a bale. The average yleld per
acre was 30 per cent. less than IN 1917.
The crop was saved IN good condition. ana
in quality was much superior 10 the crop
OF 1882.
Corn was seriously injured in every
mart of the State by the drought, and the
Weld was about ~ per cent. below that OF
/ 1882. or $50 bushels per acre less. The
greatest falling off was in Middle Geor-
gia. where the yield was 40 bushels
per acre less than in 1882, and
the least in East Georgia, where It was
1.45 bushels. The crop of 1882 is estimated
at 36, 1868, $40 bushels, and that of 1888 at
2j.64O,OOO.
The Weld of cats in 1889 was 1Sper cent.
less than in 1882, or about bushels per
acre less. The crop of 1888 is estimated
| at S.699, 400 bushels.
The greatest yield per acre was in North
Georgia-17 bushels per acre-and the
smallest in Southwest and East Georgia,
/ where it was IL bushels.
About per cent. more pork was pro-
! duced in 1888 than in 1882. The reduced
| production OF cotton, corn and oats was
due to the drought, which was more
| general and of longer duration tnan that
of any recent period. 1t is noticeable that
the Indebtedness of farmers at the close OF
1888, wasless than during theprevious year
in every section ofthe State, land that, with
the exception of Southwest Georgia, the
farmers purchased less supplies. To the
question care the farmers in better con-
ditiOn than last year?' meaning 1882,
about 43 correspondents answered eyes,
16 answered "the same," and Al answered
''no." The largest per cent. of afiirma-
tive responses came from Southeast Geor-
gia. Altogether Georgia appears to have
got through a droughty year very well.
