The store closets may be overhauled and

WONDERFUL CAVES IN GEORGIA.
waterfalls and blowing Caverns
That DisRDDear Underground.

Waterhhuh ana hhOW1mg Cavefmk
That Disappear Underground.
We first reached the Blowing cave in
Decatur county, Ga, which is situated in q
large plantation ON a hill, surrounded by a
broad valley, with the exception of the east,
which is little higher than the rim of the
cave and ten miles from Pelham, says a cor.
respondent. The rim of the cave is thirty
feet east and west and twenty feet north
and south, funnel shaped, about twelve fed
deep from surface of rim, and has two open
ings or mouths through which it breathes.
Its suction is in the forenoon and ii blows
out in the afternoon, and the draught is suf-
fcient in the morning to suck in leaves,
pocket handkerchiefs, or anything of light
weight. In the afternoon 1t blows out with
equal strength. placed my head to one of
its mouths and heard q noise like the roar
ing of distant wind. This cave must have
immediate connection with the Gulf OF
Mexico, which one would reasonably con
.lude is the cause of its respirations. This
cave is the property of Thomas A. Barrowt
and he says that he often goes to its mouth
Of hot evenings in summer and gets re-
freshing breeze, for If the weather marks
ninety-fve degrees, put the thermometer to
the mouth Of the cave and It will fall to
seventy-fve degrees, which shows it has no
connection with the dreaded place, and then
the breeze is pure and healthy.
South OF this cave about mile is a beau
tiful waterfall, the rim Of which is about
two hundred and forty feet in circumfer-
snce, funnel shaped, and is the funnel that
receives stream of water which approaches
through q narrow channel at o depth OF
twenty feet from the surface of the land and
pours over q rock into the funnel about
forty feet. The bottom of this funnel Is
twenty-five feet across, and there have been
seen in it an alligator and rattlesnake.
The water is conveyed from the funnel by
subterranean passage.
Next visited the great lime sink about
six miles from Pelham, which belongs to L.
0. jackson, of cambridge. The sink is the
receptacle of large creek, and the bottom
Is about two hundred feet below the sur
rounding country. There is a grist mill on
its verge and the natural water power woulG
run a vast amount of machinery. The Fall
of water into the sink is ninety feet, which
presents grand sight as it falls. One can
easily go down into this sink, which is the
approach to great cavern over one hum
bred feet under ground.
On my return to Pelham Mr. Hand pro-
posed to take me to another cave two miles
from Pelham. This one is on large plan
tation and is a beautiful funnel shaped cave
about two hundred and twenty-five feet
deep and has two mouths to breathe through
and it was blowing out strong while We
were there. Like the other cave It sucks
the dir in the morning and blows 1t out in
the evening, and the air is cool and pleas

Alfalfa I'm Colorado.

Alfalfa was sown in Colorado, for the first
time, eight years ago, and already there are
thousands of acres under cultivation. Gen
orally it produces three crops u year, ayerag-
ing two tons per cutting, and then furnishes
excellent and late fall pasturage, as II is not
easily injured by the frost. Some cut the
fourth time but three crops keep the ranch
men ON the jump all summer. One ranch
man said, " II he was going to put in alfalfa,

wha. Killed President Harrison.


There's President Harrison who died
so quick after he got into the White
House. They all say he died from ex-
element, nervous prostration and all
that. But the man who waited on him
said he died from too much dinner.
t.t'He had been in the White House but
few days when he told the waiter he
had brought from Indiana to get him up
what he called regular old-fashioned
South Bend dinner. That was Mr.. Har-
rison's home in Indiana, and his order
meant cabbage, picked pork, fresh
roast pork, peas, cucumbers and sweet
potatoes, with corn meal fritters fol
desert.
That was on day that Mr.. Webster
had a long talk with him. Mr.. Webster
was in his cabinet, and he said: 'Har-
rison, If these office seekers don't kill
you, that dinner will Well, sir, he
never saw well moment after that
dinner. He had indigestion, headaches,
and swimming in the head, and they
say his mind wasn't right till he died
It might have been something else but
believe that it was that dinner thai
caused his death"

A Burmese Photographers Barbarity.

A Burmese scandal is now stirring
official blood at Mandalay, as it appears
that the provost marshal has morbid
taste for amateur photography that has
led him to experiment upon the unfort-
innate Burmese Dacoits that have been
executed under his direction. Willis
"Parrhasias" has had literal exempli-
fication in this official, who has on sew
eral occasions added unspeakable torture
to his victims death pangs by delaying
the interval between orders to present"
and fire" long enough TO allow him to
take two or three negatives with the
camera he carries about with him.
Having had the prisoners drawn up in
line against wall, he would station the
firing platoon before them and get the
camera into position and calmly prepare
his plates. The officer commanding the
soldiers was instructed not to give the
fetal signal till the plate was exposed.
Thus the most interesting negatives were
obtained at the very moment of the
prisoners death agony. Fortunately
this barbarity practiced in the name OF
scientific interest has added nothing to
art, for the cruel operator was such bad
hand at the work that the plates were
spoiled. The troops were anxious &c
lynch the alleged artist, but the English
authorities have promised to make on
example of the amateur photographer

COME FACTS ABOUT THE HlNDoos


synopsis q nissIonsry's Leesurs On
Their Beliefs and characteristios.
The Rev. DR.. Ii. L. Scudder, lecturing
on India, said the Hindoos had two great
beliefs. One was the doctrine Of fate and
the other the transmigration Of souls.
According to the former man was mere
puppet, for with them everything was
settled by fate and everything was the
result Of what they termed the decree of
the head. If Hindoo did bad thing it
was fate that impelled him, and he had
to do good or Ill as 1t was decreed.
The doctrine Of transmigration was the
hardest thing to get out OF their heads.
They believed that good life here
meant an exalted birth and high station
in the other world. ia man lived a
mixed life here he would come back as
man again, but IL his life were totally
bad he would come back as tree or
mineral. Their code prescribed special
birth for each sin. One who stole grain
would be born rat, II he stole fruit he
would be born monkey, if he stole from
Brahman he would be horn over again

How to Take a Pill.

have just read in your issue "How
to Take Pill" by DR.. Asthalter. Now,
if the pills are sugar-coated, his meth
od does very we'll: but if they are not,
tho patient will generally get the bad
taste of the pill, and this is really the
most serious objection to pills. You
know that in the vast majority of cases
the pills are not coated. When ply
sician orders medicine in pills the
apothecary does not sugar-coat them.
/ will describe to you method that |
have been using, which l discovered
last year, which carries the pill down
without the patient feeling its presence
in the mouth or throat, and never per-
mits the pill to be tasted when it is not
coated. Take 4 swallow of water and
hold the head back, SO that the water
will be in the back OF the mouth. Do
not swallow the water until the pill
has been dropped on its surface. Take
the pill between the finger and thumb
(still holding head back) and carry it
well back, without touching the inside
of the mouth with it: then drop it on
the water and swallow. The head will
come forward, and the water opening
and wetting the esophagus takes the
pill instantly to the stomach. 1t does
not ''stop halfway down." and is not
tasted.
