MASKS,

If we could only read each others
hearts, we should be kinder to each
other. If we knew the woes and the
bitterness and physical annoyance
of our neighbors, we should make al
lowances for them which we do not
now. We go hiding our heart pangs
and our headaches as carefully as we
can; and yet we wonder that others
do not discover them by intuition.
We cover our best feelings from the
light; we do not conceal our resent
ments and our dislikes, of which we
are prone to be proud. Often two
people sit close together with II love
you" in each heart, and neither know
it. Each thinks 81 could be fond,
but what is the use of wasting fond
ness on one who does not care for
i? p and so they part and go their
way alone. Life is masquerade at
which few unmask, even to their
very dearest. And though there is
need of much masking, it would be
well if we dared show plainly our real
faces from birth to death, for then
some few, at least, would truly love
each other. C. BIG.

AROUND THE WORLD.

A Bridgeport Comm dispatch
gives brief history of remarkable
family, consisting of father, mother
and nine children, stopping there
temporarily. Mr.. Charles f. Russell,
the father, is a gentleman of culture.
Fourteen years ago he married Miss
Chippendale, of Paddington, England,
part of the marriage contract being
that should Providence bless them
with an heir Mr.. Russell would hold
himself bound to take his wife around
the world. About thirteen years ago
a son was born, and SHORTLY thereaf-
ter Mr.. and Mrs. Russell started up
on the promised trip. Before the en-
tire circuit of the globe was made
another son was born, and Mr.. Rus
sell felt himself called upon to make
another Clap" He says he has been
travelling around the world for near
ly thirteen years, and has made but
seven complete circuits. He and his
family are now on their eighth cir
cults. He says they always travel
westward, seldom repeating the same
route. This trip they crossed the
Atlantic to Canada, and are new on
their way to New York. They travel
with as little baggage as possible,
one pOrtmanteau performing service
for three. The nine children are
bright, speaking most of the Language
es of the world. While playing
around the room their utterance most
resemble the dialects used at the
building of the Tower of Babel. His
accounts of experience in Japan, Iu-
dia, Delhi and Barrackpore would
fill volumes. His family have been
transported by cars, steamers, Gle
plants, camels, asses, slaves, iunks
and gondolas, and speak in the most
bewildering manner of Chinese forts,
the Pearl Mosque, Mohammedan
cities, the Hindoos, Paris, Cairo and
New York. Mr.. Russell says he was
originally of the belief that constant
travelling through the cities of the
earth would educate his children,
but he is now afraid that ultimately
they will all become tramps. En-
gland is his home, but he has liyed
so long con the fly that he hardly
knows how they could ever settle
down.

A little plain, honest, effective leg
islation in the interest of debt paying
is sadly needed in Georgia. The ten
dency of legislation since the war, has
been in the other direction. There
are a number ofkinds Of hard work
by which people earn the means of a
livelihood; but there is no other
work comparable to that of collecting
debts, in all that tends to make labor
exhausting and unremunerative.-
People whose first thought in the
morning is as to how they may beat
their creditors during the day are as
numerous as black crows, and quite
as reputable in their methods.

Is the name Of a hourishing village in
Coffee county, Georgia, on the line
of the Brunswick and Albany rail-
road.
Mr.. d. E. Gaskin, well known
citizen of that village, writes under
date of December odd:
Soon after marriage, about four
years ago, my wife was stricken with
some trouble peculiar to her sex,
which broke down her general health.
In this condition she was soon after
attacked with InAammatory Rheuma-
tism of such q severe type that it
made her cripple. She was reduc-
ed in flesh to sixty-fve pounds, and
came very near losing her life. She
was att ,nded by three good physi-
clans who treated her with some BEN
eft, but the swelling in her Joints
never left her. Last summer the
rheumatism returned in a still more
severe and painful form which SEEM
ed to defy the skill of all the doctors.
She would almost go frantic with
pain, and would lie and scream all
day. A friend of mine, who is an
engineer on the Brunswick & Albany
railroad, suggested that | should use
Swift'e Specific IS. S. S. which
did. After she had taken one small
bottle she was up and able to walk
over the house, and after taking the
six small bottles she is now able to
do any kind of house work the
swelling has gone, all the pain has
left her, and she is in better health
than she ever was. The treatment
before using the Swift's Specific cost
me between $3.50 to $500, and the six
bottles of S. S. S. cost me six dollars.
It's certainly the most wonderful
medicine and the best blood purifier
in the world. The proprietors should
let the world know about it.
NoTE-The S. S. S. Company wish
to caution purchasers in regard to
the numerous limitations of their
goods. Some carry the lie on the
face, purporting to be vegetable rem
edies; when, in fact, they are really
strong Of poisonous minerals-as
Mercury, Potash, etc. Be careful to
get the genuine.

BILL NYE ON THE BUMP TRANSLA-
TOR.
Puck

Much harm has been done by "a
long-haired phrenologist in the west
who has, during his life, felt of over
thousand heads. A comparison of
large number of the charts given
in these cases shows that, so far, no
head examined would indicate any,
thing less than a member of the low
er house of congress. Artists, ora
tors, prima-donnas and statesmen are
plenty, but there are no charts show
ing the natural-born farmer, carpen-
ter, shoemaker OF chambermaid.
That is the reason butter is so high
west of the Missouri river to-day,
while genius actually runs riot.
What this day and age of the world
needs is phrenologist who will paw
around among the intellectual domes
of free born American citizens and
search out a few men who can milk
COW in cool and unimpassioned tone
of voice.
Let me say a word to the bright
eyed youth of America. Let me
murmur in your ear this never-dying
truth: When a long-haired crank
asks you a dollar to tell you that you
are young Demosthenes, stand up
and look yourself over at distance
before you swallow it all.
There is no use talking, we have
got to procure provisions in some
manner, and in order to do so the
natural bone and sinew of the coun-
try must 60 at it and promote the
growth of such things, or else we ar
fists, poets and statesmen will have
to take off our standing collars and
do it ourselves.
Phrenology is a good thing, nos
doubt, if we can purify it. So long
as it does not become the slave of
capital, there is nothing about phre-
nology that is going to do any harm !;
but when it becomes the creature of
the trade dollar, it looks as though
the country would be filled up with
wild-eyed genius that hasn't had a
square meal for two weeks. The
time will surely come when America
will demand less craftsmanship and
more flour; when less statistics and
purer, nobler and more progressive
style of beefsteak will demand our
attention.
| had hoped that phrenology would
step in and start this reform but so
far it has not, within the range of my
observation. 1t may be, however,
that the mental giant bump transla-
tor with whom | came in contact was
not fair representative. Still, he
has been in the business for over 80
years, and some of our most polished
criminals have passed under his
hands.

There is touching beauty in the
radiant look of a girl just crossing
the limits of youth, commencing her
journey through the checkered space
of womanhood. 1t is all dew-sparkle
and morning glory to her ardent,
buoyant spirit, as she presses forward
exulting in blissful anticipations.
But the whitening heat of the conflict
of life creeps on; the dew-drops ex-
hale; the garlands Of hope, scattered
and dead, strew the path and too
often, ere noontide, the brow and
sweet smile are exchanged for the
weary look of one longing for the
evening rest, the twilight, the night.

THE INTELLIGENCE OF JURIEs. 81
never thought there was much truth
in the stories told about the intelli-
gence Of juries, for it did not seem to
me possible for man to listen to a
case and still remain in ignorance of
the personality of the parties. But a
man residing in Rome told me the
other day that while on Jury duty in
Utica some time ago he had personal
experience with such case. He was
on a jury with two men who, after
they had retired, voted on verdict
in exact opposition to their real SEN
timents because they did not know
the difference between the plaintiff
and defendant in the case. . Rome

Your Boys COMPANIONS
that your boys have good associates.
A mother is quick to observe; she
can judge the kind of companions her
boys have by their behavior in the
house when the boys bring them
home, and, if she knows they are not
all she would wish, will advise and
admonish they are not good. Better
let them have few good companions
than many who are ''hail fellows well
met" A father has more opportuni-
ties for observing the outside life of
the boys than the mother, and should
spare a few minutes of his surplus
time to inquire into the outside life
OF his boys just entering into life. A
well regulated household depends
upon the conduct of the father as OF
the mother. Command your chill
dren's respect from their infancy and
you will always have it through life.

A REPLY.


Not long ago read piece,
The Bachelors lament,
Twas written off in poetry,
And to the journal sent.
I've thought and thought about that man
And wondered what he'd do,
The poor unspliced hysteric soul,
He was in such a stew
And yet the fault was only his,
He'll have to look about;
There $ just as good fish in the sea,
AS ever were caught out
| have a lady in my mind,
| think would fill the bill,
She wants Captain to command,
She has no wish or will.
Her height is only four feet, eight,
Her dresses aren't made long
And all the dry goods that she'd need,
Could be bought for a song.
Her appetite is very small,
With love-flled heart and head
Shed never dream of coarser things,
Of butter or of bread.
The operas she'd ne err attend,
They'd cost good round sum,
And she could be without expense,
Fair "Juliette" right at home.
His wealth of love would shield her,
From the cold and chilly storm
No need of seal-skin sacques or gloves,
Or fires to keep her warm.
A single birthday ne'er would pass,
Without gift he'd see,
Shed not expect them in return,
Come Cindy,-bring my tea.
This is the cup that fills me up,
But ne'er inebriates,
Yet she who loves and drinks it too
May LOOKOUT always waits.
This thing of tea has done more harm
Than all things else combined
1t keeps apart the sturdy oak
And clinging ivy vine.
If it was vanished fl ON the earth,
How charming would it be,
The marrying would begin afresh,
Here Cindy-,0ant more tea.
The first fair couple that were made,
Did not shrink from each other,
They quietly resolved to smile,
And cry, and eat together.
Kind journal, will you publish2
And if he calls to see
Who wrote it, you can just speak out,
And say-it inst me.

There were 28,OO0,OO0 silver dol
lars made in in 1884, and but 800 in
1889. The most ancient date is 1894.
From then until 1904 they were coin
ed continuously. Then skip of
thirty-two years occurred. The trade
dollar is the only thing that has mar
red the issue since 1886, with the ex-
ception of 1886, when none were
coined. The silver dollar of 1904 is
the rarest American coin. But two
genuine ones are believed to exist,
and their owners have refused $1,000
each for them. The 1874 dollar
brings $40. Those between 1895
and 1868, So each; 1915, "a; 1889,
with flying eagle, S25 each 1851 and
1852, S35 and $40 respectively; 1858,
$50. The trade dollars issued from
1873 to 1878 are destined to become
rare.
