Loves Fulfilling.

q, Love Is weak
Which counts the answers and the gains,
Weighs all tho losses ana the pains,
And eagerly each fond word drains
A JOY to seek.
When love IN strong

It's gift in its sweet haste no greed,
No strife belong.

Such bliss, for the belo seds sake,

A WESTERN editor has figured out
that 1,0s0,0O0 dollar bills weigh 2,s4l
pounds. A million s. 900 bills weigh
just the same, which shows the supe-

carries his fortune in his pocket. A
million of money in silver weighs
about thirty toas and one in gold less
than two tons.

THE largest refracting telescope in
the world is now in process of construc-
ton in the modest workshop of the
venerable Alvan Clark, the eminent
telescopemaker, in Henry street, Cam
bridgeport, Boston. The two disks of
glass go to form the lens of the great
Lick telescope, which will be placed in
the observatory on the peak of Mt
Hamilton, beluest of the California
circular glasses are valued at SO, 900
EACH and if destroyed they could not
be duplicated within the next six
months for millions of dollars. The
disks were cast in Paris, the order be-
ing given five years ago, but the fail
ures were so numerous that they were
not received by Messrs. Clark until last
September. When finished the lens
will be thirty-six inches in diameter,
six inches wider than the one which
they recently completed for the Russian
Government. Since receiving the
disks last September, Mr.. Clark and
his sons have been constantly at work
upon them, but they do not expect to
have them completed much before next
fall. When completed the two lenses
will weigh about 700 pounds. The work
of polishing the disks has reached that
stage where the removal of few grains
more or less from the wrong place
would ruin them. The only instru.
ment used is the hand, smeared with
rouge, a polishing substance finer than
tie finest emery. Some idea of the
power of the instrument may be gained
from the statement recently made by or
astronomer, that gazing at the moon,
240, 900 miles away, that orb, by this
telescope, viii be brought to within
less than one hundred miles from the
eye of the beholder.

The ex-Empress Charlotte, of Mex
leo, is lying seriously i'll at the beauti-
full old castle of Bouchout, near Brus-
sells. She was born June Z, 1910, the
daughter of Leopold l., King of Bel
GUM, and his wife, the Princess
Louise, daughter of Louis Philippe,
King OF the French; and she is the
only sister of Leopold H., the present
King of Belgium. Her sad history is
soon told. On July ~, 1857, 1857, she
was married to the Archduke Max
imilian of Austria. This unfortunate
man was elected Emperor of Mexico on
July 10, 1868. When, in consequence
of the opposition OF the United States
Government, he lost French support,
the empire collapsed, and July 10, 1867,
Macmillan was shot by the Mexican
authorities. The awful shock of her
husbands execution robbed Charlotte
OF her reason, and for between eighteen
and nineteen years she has been hope
lessly insane.

The existence Of a petroleum we'll In the
block bounded by Perry and Noble streets

not excited the owners OF the property as

boon visiting tho spot In droves for sew.

A reporter spent nearly an hour on the
ground the other afternoon, and during
that time the visitors came and went In a
stream. Tho inevitable small boy was

lie had for the oil was TO sprinkle
1t over dried leaves and then set II

OF oil was seen six or eight weeks ago,

common with petroleum wells. and then

for firm in Cleveland was taken sick
one day in summer. as he was driving on
the highway, and he sought shelter in a
farmhouse He bad a run or fever for
seven or eight days, and when able to get
out again he said to the owner of the
farm:

money buried on your farm. | have

"Ou," replied the farmer, 'If you can
find any treasure here you are welcome

Chow much will you take to waive all

"FiVe dollars worth OF milk pans"
"If You will 90 TO town and get lawyer
to draw up the papers in due form | will

The farmer tried TO laugh the peddler
out OF his notion, but Lna man was 80
earnest In wishing TO buy all rights 10
what he might find that paper was
drawn up, the $25 paid over, and be WAS
told TO 20 ahead. He replied that be was
in no hurry, and mounted his wagon aud
drove home, but in about a fortnight he
returned with horse and wagon and
companion. Giving notice that he had

$1,000 in gold and silver coins. None OF
the pieces had been coined within less
than fifteen years, and the then owner OF
the place had occupied IL for nine years,
and knew that nobody could have buried
the jug there meanwhile.
The peddler said that very tall, dark

forehead and limp in his gait, had re-

are very good.
In Calhoun county the cotton stand is
bad, the Oat crop is very poor, cotton
chOpping is the order of the day, aud the
farmers would like to see a light shower.
In Clay county farmers report the cot
ton crop somewhat late in coming up this
season. The prospect for a fine oat crop
in that section was never more lattering.
LeConte pear orchards look promising
The cool nights for the past week have
been rough on young cotton.
Complaints of poor stands Of cotton are
heard in every direction in Cobb county.
In some instances the land is bsing
plowed up and replanted. The hard
rains and wind which prevailed after
much of the cotton was put in the ground
baked the ground so that the sprouts
can't make their way through the crust.
Some are going over their cotton rows
with rake to give the seed showing.
A great deal of the seed saved was more
or less damaged, and it is feared that
much worthless seed has been planted.
