A Back-Seat for Mustangs.

When you compare a mustang pow
to a Georgia mule, it is as moonlight Is
to sur light or as water is to wine. Al
MnSsogee County farmer claims that
De was recently breaking a Young
mule. A stalwart negro man mounted
the mule in the middle Of the lot and
the spectators mounted the fence. The
mule began TO buck and dance at the
same time. A cloud Of dust enveloped
him and his rider, and unearthly noises
came from the midst Of the dust cloud.
When the cloud Of dust cleared away
the mule was quietly eating out Of the
trough in his stall, and n Of the
negro's knit suspenders was wrapped
tightly around his left hind leg. No
other portion Of the negro has vet been
discovered Columbus (Ga.) Enouir-

Why They Had to Kill Another
Chinaman.

One Of the best known mining
engineers in the United States, in fact
the man who built many big mines and
tunnels on the Pacific coast, and whom
we will call Smith for the sake Of the
story, told the Casual Observer the
other day that while experimenting the
construction OF a mine at Virginia City,
on which mostly Chinese labor was
employed, the foreman of one of the
tunnels came to him one morning and
said: 'Mr. Smith, a Chinaman was
killed this morning by a fall Of rock In
the tunnel. Wen have to kill another
before night" why SOP" was the
inquiry in reply. eWell," said the
foreman, as he took a fresh chew OF
tobacco, tits easier to carry two dead
Cinnamon out Of camp than one.''
The engineer got mad at this and pro-
hibited any reckless exposure Of life.
But sure enough before the night fell
another Chinaman had been gathered to
his fathers. The manner Of carrying
the dead Cinnamon out Of camp was
to hang n body on each side Of q
mule. II there was only one dead
Chinaman it took two men to carry
him of, a at his head and another at
his heels. -New York Graphic.

A Blazing Monarch.

Coal is no longer king in Pittsburgh.
Natural gas has dethroned him:
Old King Cole was a swarthy old soul,
And a costly old soul was he,
His serfs were spread

He drew tribute from sea to seat
Gladly his slaves a torch will wave
Not Lit by the fires Of treason.
But fired BY spells from magic wells,
To burn In the light of reason

Young Men in Society.

-
AS a general thing young ladies ave
much more self-possessed when tlfey
first 90 into society than young gentle-
men, and while the girl of sixteen (is
helped out by the kindness OF other
women and the attention men always
paw to the roSebuds, if they are pretty
or pleasing, the boy of eighteen or
nineteen is left to do the best he can
for himself, and if he is modest, well
bred and not conceited, he often retires
from society after a few brief plunges
into it. Yet, after all, hollow as society
is. in many professions it is necessary
for a Young man to hold his w and
appear well on social occasions.
1t is also a relief to any one whose
feelings are strong and who is apt to
grow melancholy in solitude to have
somewhere to 60" l presume many
originally able men who have become
Oddities, and grown careless in their
habits and offensive in their manners,
might have been comfortable and well
liked if they had taken a little pains to
know a few people, andto be sought at
least in som small circles of society.
Long ago Lord Chesterfield said to
his son: Your figure is like other
peoples; l hope you will take + to
dress so, too. Why then should you
be ashamed? Why not go into mixed
company as freely as into your own
room?' And he adds:
Il remember that when, with all the
a~wkwardness of college about me,
was Introduced into good company, |
was frightened out of my wits. Ii |
saw people whisper l was sure il was
about me, and thought myself the OBJ
iect of the cencure or ridicule OF the
whole company. who, heaven knows,
did not trouble themselves about me.
In this way l suffered martydom, and
should certainly have renounced polite
society forever if l had not been alb.
s~olutely convinced of the necessity OF
forming my manners. l remember at
last gaining intrepidity enough to go
up to a fine woman and tell her that |
thought it was a warm day. She n s
wered me very civilly and said she
thought so, too; upon which the con
versation on my part ceased, until she
remarked, good naturally resuming it:
4 see your embarrassment, and | am
sure the few words you said to me cost
you a good deal; but do not be dis
couraged. All you want is manner,
and you do not want that as much as
you think you do.
Lord Chesterfield was supposed to be
one of the most elegant men of his day;
and the bashful boy who made an eff
fort to say, 1T is a warm day,
madam" became ambassador to the
Hague, viceroy to Ireland, secretary oil
state, and member of the cabinet. He
had all the elements of social success
within him, and yet, no doubt, he
might have gone to the wall but for that
determination to form his manners in
good society. And what was said so
many years ago to a bashful English
youth a bashful boy of any nation may
read with benefit: 'Do not be dis
couraged. All you want is manner,
and you do not want that as much as
you think you do.'-Harriet Trow-
bridge, IN Good Housekeeping.

A STORY OF A SMITH.
The Newspaper Man Who Couldn't
Accept Office.

Ex- Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Coon told this story to a group of
friends at the Fifth-avenue Hotel last
evening: when the Joint High Com
mission was sitting in Washington a
few years ago, the proceedings were
held behind locked doors, and the
greatest pains were taken to keep the
proceedings strictly secret. In spite OF
this many of the most important results
of the discussions leaked out and found
their way into print Scott Smith, the
well-known Washington correspondent,
was known to be telegraphing the
news to a syndicate of newspapers, and
Secretary of State Hamilton Fish was
terribly worked up over the matter.
He brought several detectives from
New York to Washington, who were
unknown to the departments officials,
and placed them to shadow Smiths
house and office to ascertain, if pos
sible, who it was that was furnishing
him with the information. The vigils
were fruitless and the news continued
to be printed with daily regularity.
Unable longer to conceal his annoy
ance, the Secretary sent for Mr.. Smith
and told him that his course was an
patriotic.
Nonsense said Smith; it is all
true, isn't it? 1t is news, and that is
what l am sent here to get But he
did not tell the Secretary, what was
the fact that he regularly met a mem
Der of the commission every morning
at 10 o'clock, from whom he obtained
a detailed account of the previous
days proceedings, Finding that per-
suasion was useless, the Secretary
finally said:
Smith | have got a nice foreign
cousulship worth $1,000 a year which I
wish to offer you, and to offer which
was my main object in sending for
YOU
Can't accept it, Mr.. Secretary;
couldn't afford to do So

amazement, cant afford to accept q

pen. To speak plainly, Mr.. Secretary.
couldn't afford to take your place
and work for the salary you work for.
MIR. Fish looked at Smith with
profound amazement," added Mr..
Coon, ''but his views of the value OF
the services of trained newspaper
writer's probably soon afterward IN.
derwent a change. "-New York Star.

Necessity of a Holiday.

DR.. Robson Roosc, referring to the
subject of an annual holiday, Says there
can be no doubt as to the advantage OF
this means of rest and recreation
Where to spend holiday and how best
to enjoy il are the topics which should
frequently engage the thoughts of man
who is working at high pressure. The
idea of holiday even if the realization
be somewhat Distant lessons present
discomforts, and the carrying out Of a
well-deviscd plan enhances the enjoy
nient when the time arrives. The num-
Der of ways in which holiday may
be profitably spent is almost infinite.
Something definite should be aimed al
and done during each holiday; an active
minded man must have occupation OF
some kind even in his hours of recrca-
ton. A change of work is indeed 8
form of rest, and happily there is nc
lack Of subjects for every variety O,

Another Sufferer.

For six years l was afflicted with
chronic rheumatism, part Of the time
perfectly helpless, not being able 10
walk at all. For while my left leg
was drawn backward until nearly
double. 1t had a number of running
sores on it. Physicians gave me nc
relief. l tried every patent medicine
recommended for rheumatism, being
druggist myself, but to no profit,
A last l commenced the use of Swift'a
Specific. AT first it seemed to make
me worst. Ny leg was much swollen,
and l had physician to lance it. /
soon began to improve. After taking
less than dozen bottles of Swift's
Specific, l found myself sound and
well for the first. time in six years.
That was five months ago; / have
felt no symptoms of the disease since.
| believe Swift's Specific to be the
best of all rheumatic remedies made.
/ commend it to all who are suffering
as | have suffered.

FALSE ECONOMY.
CareIessness Displayed In Preparing Farm
Produce for Market.

CurcleSSnc6H Dtsplhyeu IN preparing Eurm
Produce for Market.
In preparing produce for market, no
greater mistake is made than by using
packages composed of material too poor
for the purpose intended or put to-
gether in q manner which will not
stand the test to which it is bound to
be sub jected This is done as a matter
of economy, but instead Of effeGting
saving, it usually results in waste,
loss and general dissatisfaction. A
forcible illustration of this is being now
presented by some of the honey cases
coming forward TO this market from
apiaries. The cans of the regular FIVE
gallon size are, in the case referred to
made of such light tin that they weigh
scant two pounds and half, whereas
they should never weigh less than three
pounds. In order to save freight, these
cans and cases are shipped from this
city to the apiarlcs in pieces pat ked in

broken, more or less waste of contents

proves an entire loss. to say nothing OF
the honey which Is wasted and the extra
labor and annoyance. Where these cans
do not break on first handling, their
weak and imperfect condition is almost
sure to be developed later on. Packages
which are not thorough proof against
breakage in one ordinary handling are
surely not apt to stand being shipped
thousands OF miles and transferred sew
eral times, as is necessary with most OF
the honey produced in this State. The
most secure cans and cases will prove
cheapest to the producer, MS the honey
thus packed will command moro than
the difference in cost over an inferior
receptacle. Merchants in the interior
having occasion to handle honey from
first hands viii do well to insist on
the cases being sufficiently stout to IN
sure their remaining in understandable
condition, with ordinary care exercised
in handling. There is no produce, en-
cept such as must be removed from the
original package within day or two,
which will justify economy in casing
boxing or sacking to the extent of en-
ploying what is not apt to stand Gus
tomary usage. The buyer in nine
cases out of ten, will pay less for such
packages than the saving attempted by
the producer amounts to.-Gro1cy and
