Prosperous GEORGIA Mines.

There is probably no one within her
borders, unless he is an unsuccessful
politician, who will gainsay the assertion
that Georgia is a great State. There is
untold riches hidden in her valleys and
mines Of wealth in her mountains. 1t is
proposed to re-estabiish the State Geo
logical Bureau in order to let the world
see, il not in black and white, at least in
pale green, yellow and pink maps, the
riches of the State.
A VEN OF great value was discovered a
few years ago by some enterprising citl-
zens Of the State, and it has since been
worked with excellent results. The own
ers of the mines on this vein have dis
played a more liberal spirit toward the
newspapers of the State than the prOprie-
tors of the gold, iron and coal mines, and
+ the land-grabbers who have built a few
/ hundred miles of railroads with a small
+ capital and much free newspaper putting.
/ The owners of this vein have even ex-
| tended their liberality to journalists living
I beyond the boundaries of the Union. Prob
ably at the head of the list of Georgia ?. NJ
mines Is 5. S. S., and next, its competitor,
+ 4. b. 3. These preparations propose to
eradicate all the bad blood in the country
and restore the human system TO its pre-
/ Adamic purity. There is an excellent
tooth wash (IIolmes'), which appears to
have merit and money in it, and a num-
Der of liver "take-carers," pain remoyers,
corn eradicatOrs, etc, that have more
than n local trade. Then there are two
celebrated Georgia patent medicines
TUFTS Pills and simmons Regulator
that have done so we'll that
the proprietors have removed to
other cities, so as to be nearer
the business centres of the world. There
is mine Of wealth, apparently, in the
patent medicine business, and the Geor-
gia preparations appear TO have merit
in them from the demand there is for
them. People viii have such things: in
fact there is no telling the amount eX-
pended in such articles by the people.
There is no question upon one point, VIZ:
that these patent preparations are doing
considerable good TO the newspapers.
There is healthy and prosperous
appearance 10 their columns when
there is a good display Of medicine adyer-
tisements. especially II their managers
are ''stiG backs and get living prices for
their work.

The question, What shall we eat? can
probably be best answered by asking an
other question, What can we get: II IS
true there are not a few dieters IN the
world as well as dietetsts. but the above
win no doubt apply to nInety-nine per-
sons in the hundred in every country.
The question. What ought We TO eat?
is one that is being continually dis
cussed from "A multitude of standpomts,
and VIII probably not be settled TOR many
/ generations.
is pretty generally agreed on in the
civilized world that we ought not to eat
one another. except it be in that tigura-
tive sense in which we prey on each
other in the daily pursuits of life. The
Jews have eschewed the flesh of swine
and some other animals for thousands of
years, and strict Christians abstain from
blood, animals that have died OF strangu-
lation and meats offered to idols. There
is popular prejudice in some countries
against the flesh of cats and dogs and in
sects OF all kinds, except, perhaps, the
common housahy, which is served in
most cheap restaurants in its season,
while some nations, or tribes of men, con-
slider nothing so delicious as roasted
locusts and grasshOppers.
When the food question is discussed
these days, it is generally with reference
TO health or economy-frequently both.
OF all who hold decided views and exert
themselves to make converts, probably
the most noisy and least successful are
the vegetarians. Whether it is due to long
habit or natural causes, men viii eat
meat. Even the israeltes when they
were fed on heavenly mama and quail on
toast-minus the toast-longed for the
rich stews which, though they were
slaves, they had been accustomed to par
take Of from the flesh pots Of Egypt.
Perhaps the want of success Of the
Ycgetarians has been in a considerable
degree due to the fact that they were
theorists, and have not been careful to
place their doctrines before the people in
a material and practical shape. The
example of one of their most prominent
men, Mr.. S. Morley, of England, is one
which it might be well for them to follow.
lie gave public dinner recently to the
villagers OF Leigh, near Tunbridge. The
dinner was intended more as an illustra-
ton Of practical economy than as a vege-
tartan argument, but it answered both
purposes. The meal consisted of three
cOurses-a soup, 'savory," and
"sweet2-and the cost Of the articles was
only pence per head, while the cost of
preparation and service was pence
more. OF course there was no meat, but
the meal was both a "flling7 and "satis-
fying' one, and no doubt it was also suf-
iciently nutritious.
While the yegetarians may be extrem-
lists, it is true that most people eat too
much meat. Animal food is costly, and
il the poor could be taught how to prepare
/ and enjoy a wholesome vegetable diet,
with a very limited quantity of flesh,
there would not only be a great improve
ment in their health, but there would
soon be marked advance in their for
tunes. If they would abstain from ex-
( pensiye meats, and, above all, expensive
/ drinks, they would soon become in
measure independent.

Unless the reports concerning the
spread Of the cattle plague are very much
exaggerated, a serious, if not alarming,
condition OF affairs exists in some por-
tions of several Western States. Pleuro-
pneumonia has made its appearance in so
many places that the use of the most
heroic measures win be necessary to pre-
vent its becoming general all over the
country.
1t appears that the wisdom and fore
sight of those members of Congress
who fought so hard to secure the estab-
fishing OF the Board Of Animal Industry
have been vindicatod, and they can afford
to look back with calm satisfaction at the
ridicule and jeers to which they were sub
iected. The law which provides for
Quarantining and, i'm certain cases, the
destruction of infected herds is good
one, and if its execution is committed to
efficient agents there is scarcely a doubt
that the contagion will be prevented from
spreading TO any very great extent.
The new Commissioner of Agriculture
has already taken up the subject Of
pleuro-pneumonia in cattle, and has issued
circulars cmbodyiug the rules and regula-
tions necessary for the c1ectual suppress
sion and eNtWpation Of the disease. The
means to be used are strict quarantiues

The fund available for carrying out
the provisions of the law for the suppress
sion and eXtirpation OF cattle diseases is
now $4,000. The Commissioner Of Agli-
culture thinks 10 will ba more than
sufficient for the present emergency.
Whether it viii bee or not depends upon

Placing his finger on his forehead, he said
There is no gun firing now; it must be an ex-

The new team of the President arrived

The Best Dressed Woman in Europe.

T FOW ne LdFdiU M0W.
The Queen Of Portugal is supposed to be the
best dressed woman in Europe. The state
ment that she never wears dress twice is an
e1aggeration. What are evidently referred
TO are dresses worn on public occasions. This
is in accordance with court etiquette. II may
not be generally known that the Queen az
Portugal has all her morning dresses made in
London, and morning costume just finished
for her Majesty Is in blue and brown. plain

outline of the pattern beng in pale blue.
over the skirt is draped pointed tunic of
brown cloth, with back draperies of the same.
The bodice of brown cloth is shaped some
what like an officers she'll jacket, with little
gilt buttons all round the edge. Where the
jacket is cut away IN front, loose vest front
OF pale blue silk is revealed, a sash of the
same being ranged like a scarf drapery pass
