The Georgia Farmer.

The man who says that Georgia
farmers are getting poorer every year
simply does not know what he is talk
ing about.
The speaker was Gov. Mcdaniel.
He continued: I'm my county. Wal
ton, the farmers have more stock, less
debt, and better farms than they have
had since the war. They have paid
5000. 600 of money debts in my county
in the past five years. I mean there
was that much loaned out on farm
lands at mortgage which has been
called in and paid. The Northern conf
panies have made few loans, if any, in
Walton County. The farmers are rap
idly paying out of debt and improving
their farms"
is not this prosperity limited to
Walton County,"
Il think not. We have population
of $4,000 people. $4,000 is the rural
population. I do not see why they
should be better than any other county
in Georgia I have watched it very
closely and the farmers of Georgia are
growing richer and more prosperous
every year. I am not the apostle of a
bright dispensation. but simply prac-
teal man, telling you what he has
found out by actual observation.-At.

a I,uckv Mistake,

Two well-known Boston gentlemen
were playing game of seven-up the
other day for 800 side. AS the pub
LEGATION of their real names in connec-
ton with such an affair would startle
the religious circles in which they
move, fictitious names will be employed
in giving the somewhat singular de-
tail of their game. The playing had
progressed with equal success to both
PLAYERS until they had six points apiece.
It was Browns turn to deal, which
gave Smith the ''beg." The cards
were given out and the nine Of spades
turned up. Smith. under the excite
ment of the occasion, mistaking the
trump card for a club, ''stood his
hand" 'swung OUT the ace of that
suit and reached over to pull in the
stakes.
Hold on" said Brown. 'that is not
the trump-the nine of spades was
turned"
Smith saw his error. anu was ABOUT
to throw down his cards and surrender
the money to his opponent. but he re-
gained his composure and said te
Brown: "Very well; we will play the
hand out. anyway"
Card after card fell upon the table,
until the entire twelve had been shown,
when the fact was developed that Meth.
or player had trump and the only
face card was the ace of clubs. This
of course, gave him one point (game),
which carried him out Brown, wher
he saw the result swore that he would
never touch another card as long as ht
lived. Boston Herald.

Forks are distinctly mentioned in l
Samuel, xiii. 21. in connection with the
file that was used to sharpen the prongs.
In the Pentateuch mention is made of
s.fesh hooks" evidently used for TAX
ing the meat out of the pots or off the
pans. Ateneus mentions the 'fork, y"
but it does not appear whether it meant
bident or trident and it is certain
that ancient Greeks were ignorant of
the use of the fork while eating. Two
branched instruments were found at
Rerculaneum, but they were not known
to be used in any period of Ro man his
tory,
The duke of Burgundy used forks at
table, and is said to have had two, In
his time the loayes were made round
and were placed by the side of the
carver. who had pointed carving
knife and skewer of silver or gold,
which he stuck into the joint of meat,
and, having cut off piece, placed it
on a slice of bread, which was served
to the guest on the point of the carv-
ing-knife, The custom still obtains in
many parts of Europe.
Before the revolution in France,
when gentleman was invited to din
ner, it was customary for him to send
his servant with his knife. fork and
spoon, or. if he had no servant, he car
ried them in his breeches pocket as a
carpenter carries his rule. The use OF
forks was not introduced into England
until the time of James I, having been
brought from Italy. Their use was
ridiculed by many as superservice.

Medical inspectors of schools are being
gradually appointed in all the civilized
states of Europe. The Hungarian min
istry of education has just issued an ordi-
nance for the appointment OF public
school doctors. It will be their duty to
periodically inspect the school buildings
ply, retreats, the number of pupils to
the cubic space occupied, ETC., to ex-
anime each pupil separately as regards
the general health of body, more par
cularly the eyes and ears, the capacity
of chest, the teeth, hair skin, etc. They
must keep special account of those that
are sick or convalescent; in case OF in
fictitious diseases the doctor must see the
patients at their own homes. He must
keep special account of the influence
school life exercises upon the bodily
health and mental development OF each
pupil.

The Alarm Went or

A comical incident occurred the other
day on the Polish frontier. A lady,
who had been making purchases in the
town of Kattowitz, with the express
purpose of smuggling them into Pol
and, bought among other items, ON
alarm clock at watchmaker's. Think
ing lightly of the matter, she even told
the young matchmaker of her intention,
and got him to ask his wife to tie the
clock beneath what is now called fig
ure improver. The matchmaker.
being fond of a joke, managed, while
the lady was waiting for his wife, to set
the alarm of the clock at the hour when
the train was timed to be at the frontier
station Sensnowice, and then handed it
to be fastened beneath his customers
dress. Well contented with her bar
gain the lady went off, arrived at the
frontier and passed the customs easily;
but just as she was again stepping into
the railway carriage an awful noise
burst forth, which caught the attention
of the officers. The lady had to dis
mount amid the laughter of the by
ISLANDERS, to disrobe, and to pay the fine
of 10 rubles for smuggling, while the
tell tale alarm was confscated.

THOROUGH Cultivation

Good farming does not consist in
seeing how much land can be skinned
over without any reference to its pro-
ductIveness, but in so farming as to
grow the most on the least possible
space. Herein lies the secret of good
and successful MISUNDERSTANDING the
most from the least space. but how
many of our farmers follow such pol
icyp The larger number of them rath-
er seem to be trying to extract the SUBJ
stance from the largest possible surface
without making corresponding at
tempt at restoring elements OF fertility
to the soil. This method of farming is
entirely too common and is what has
impoverished SO many naturally good
farms, Too much land, as a rule, is
under cultivation on almost every farm
to make it the most productive. Land
will not retain its fertility when crop
ped year after year. without suitable
return is made in the shape of manure,
and where too much is under plow no
farmer can find or make enough ma
nure to keep up the original fertility of
his land. But there are other means
of robbing the land Of its fertility and
soon making it unproductive, and that
is too close pasturing. This is just as
bad as too much cropping. 1t is de-
teriorating process, and makes land
hard and unproductive. The stock run
around more on poor pasture and
tramp and pack the soil so that the
grass will not grow SO we'll, and the
sun beats on the unprotected roots and
burns and Injuries them. This can all
be avoided by not pasturing SO closely.
and, besides, the growth of succulent
heritage will increase each year. Then
it is wisdom not to attempt to Craze too
much stock on a given number OF
acres. nor to plow and crop more than
can be kept in the highest state of fer
tility by suitable fertilization. --Prac-

Tasmania RAILWAYS.

The island of Tasmania. or Van Die
mems Land. as 1t was formerly called,
lies to the extreme south of Australia,
between 400 IS and 430 45' south lati-
tude, and between 144o IS and 1885
so east latitude. 1t is separated from
Australia by Bass Strait, 120 miles
wide, but it is in telegraphic communi-
cation with the Australian continent
and therefore with Europe, the Tas-
manian and Victoria submarine tele-
graph being worked by the Eastern
Extension Telegraph Company upon a
guarantee from the Tasmanian govern
ment. The greatest length of the is
land is 230 miles. aud its greatest width
100 miles. Its surface Is estimated at
e., 215 square miles, or almo st the size
of South Carolina. The total srea ex.
elusive of islands and lakes, is 15.571.-
500 acres, or inclusive OF these. 16, 49,
900 acres The population at the last
census in 1881 was 115, 705, and it is
estimated to be now close on 40. 600
persons. Tasmania is a mountainous
country. having hills ranging from
1000 feet to 5000 feet in heigth. 1t
has several extensive lake on the high
central table land. and these form the
sources of the chief rivers. of which
there are several. The climate of Tas-
mania is very salubrious, and the is
land is recomne nded as sanatorium
for invalids, the hot north winds of
Australia being tempered by the 120
miles of sea at Bass Strait. The chief
products are tin and gold, wool. wheat
oats. barley, potatoes, timber, hops,
fruit. jam. and whale oil. The govern
ment of Tasmania, with view TO en-
courage special manufacturing indus
tries, have offered bonuses from time
to time, of which the following are yet
unclaimed:
Sugar from beet or other products
grown in the colony, bonus $4,000,
200 tons to be manufactured in one
year.
SaM-On 800 tons being manufact-
ured in one year, bonus OF $3.50 per
ton for the first hundred tons. and
$1.25 per ton for the second and third
hundred.
Corn Sacks or WoolpacEs.-Bonus
$4,000. The quantity of sacking suit
able for working up into those articles
turned out in one year to be 40 600
yards.
Up to about four years ago Tasmania
was considered a sleepy colony, and
was dependent upon Australia and
England for the supply of most articles
of genaral consumption. Now the
country has awakened. trade is devel-
oping, and railways are extending in
various directions. During the past
three years no less than 81 jetties have
been erected. Better vessels are visit
ing the ports of the colony. and large
and handsome warehouses and bust
ness establishments are being erected
in the chief towns.-Scientifc Anaert-

HIS Name I'm the Papers.

A rich mine owner recently went from
Colorado to st. Louis and registered at
a hotel. He says: "a reporter saw my
name and gave me notice, In which he
stated that I was wealthy mining man
from Ouray, Col. Two days later !
began to receive very large mail, all
bearing the st. Louis postmark on the
envelopes I could not for the soul OF
me imagine whom the letters were from
or what their contents were. The first
letter 1 opened was from a person who
who claimed to be poor widow, and
asked me to send her paltry 50 bill
through the general delivery of the
postoffice. I tore that up. Five other
letters were from men who had schemes
on hand that if q man with capital were
to invest in them would yield millions.
These kept as curiosities. The remain
ing dozen found to be letters from ad-
venturesses, requesting an interview, 1t
may make man feel good to see his
name mentioned among the important
arrivals, but I'll be hanged if you can't
spare printers ink when you write about
me again, if twill make me such mark
for schemers and blacklegs."

In the list of arrivals of distinguished
people from the north last week at the
st Charles hotel appears the names OF
Frank B. GODDARD and M. +. Mock.
These gentlemen who hail from the ice
bound region of East Saginaw, Mich,
paid their maiden visit to the Crescent
City under circumstances peculiarly IN

Indeed, it is questionable whether the
pleasure of their visit could have been
expected at all had the motive power
been other than it was-viz: The Lou
