The Youngest POtentate.

A delicate looking child dressed In
white frock, holding tightly to thes
back name OF q huge rockinghorsc, has
been the admiration Of crowds in a
! ondon picture gallery for four days
past.
To Judge from the picture the little
King Of spain is as pretty child as one
cond find in days Quincy His pale,
child sh face is beautifully delincated by
the artist, and is fairly illuml mated with
intclIiyen. dafk ewes. ondon critics
consider the painting one Of the finest
examples of portralturc ever seen for

foppay, i Hungarian, who has big
reputation as a portrait painter on the.
Continent He did this piece Of work
under the supervision o. Queen Regent

was so much delighted With it that she.
sent it here to london that English
aristocrats night see what her baby

the royal family of Spain.
The baby hings rocking horse is.
unique It is, in fact ,ethe stuffed skin
"t favoritc black pony that belonged
to his mother when she was a gin. The
oor pet pony died Of old age, and the
neen could not bear to sec it buried.
SHE stuffed the skin, had it expenslvcly
mounted, and put it into the nursery as
toy for her child. 1t is hardly pos
she to convey an idea of the ch color
in. ir this picture. The silver gray silk
curtain which forms the BACKGROUND is
a marvel Of beautiful embroidery.
The little tc low, who has he dlstinc-

monarch i'll the world. He succeeded
to the throne at the moment Of his

HABITS.

NO man ls allowed to plead bad
is no paIlIation, but rather an aggra-
walton of the offense that it was the
result OF habit. No man would think
of pleading the habit of killing peo-
pie as palliation for the crime Of
murder. No robber, however steep
ed in his sin, would think OF going
before a court of justice, and saying {:
Chat | have been so in the habit OF
robbing that it has become a second
nature to me, and | cannot help rob
bling. Yet one says: 81 have formed
the habit of swearing, and 'nowI have
lost all self control and am no more
responsible for taking the name Of
the Lord in vain" This pretended
excuse for sin is as false as it is fire.
quent. 1t is lie and sham. Habit
cannot convert black into white, nor
make sin innocent. Man is respon-
sible for his habits, and when they
enslave him he is responsible for the
crimes to which these vile habits lead
him.
Laws, human and Divine, hold
man responsible for crimes commit
cd during a state OF intoxication, and
no pleading of the person that he had
become habituated to drunkenness
will ever pllliate the ofense Of com
mitted against human law
The responsibility is in the forma-
ton Of the habit, A man may form
the habit Of perverting truth until il
is much easier to tell lie than tn,
truth, but this facility and disposition
to deal in falsehood cannot be plead
ed as an extenuaton Of the sin,

PEOPLE w. MONEY.

| The Columbus Enquirer Sun has
so perfectly expressed our views ana
sentiments in the following, that We
readily adopt the same. 1t says
The prosperity of our people will
not be attained to any great extent
by the purchase OF property in Geor.
gia, by persons residing out of the
State. The effect of such invest
ments is favorable, but very slightly
so. The building of factories and
shops and railroads gives employment
to labor and increases the circulation
OF currency in our land, but for every
dollar of prosperity that would come
In this way, ten would come by the
thicker settlement of our lands.
The wealth OF our people is in
lands. There we have the invest
ments already made, which will be
made more valuable by an increase
of hands to work. Not more than
one-sixth of our lands can be cultiva-
ted by our present population; the
remaining hve-sixth must be unpro
ductive. If only half of our lands
were cultivated and no better cult.
waited than they are now, the income
from them would be three times as
great as now.
But the increase of agricultural
population will bring improved meth |
obs of culture. Intensive farming |
would come with density of popula-
ton, and our lands would go to the
price that lands command at the |
north,
The price of land will be found to |
vary with density of population al
most directly. We can approximate
the price of land in any state by
learning the density of its popula-
ton. Massachusetts has ten times
rs many people to the square mile as
georgia has, and land is ten times as
valuable there as here, though our
soil is fertile and theirs is sterile.
The difference of price is due to the
act that all the tillable land in Mas
'achusetts IL in use, ana the density
II population makes it necessary for
antilles to make their support on
small tracts, and to do this they have

Here is pointer for Marietta and
Cobb county owners of real estate :
''The real estate men of Knoxville,
Tenn, have inaugurated a mammoth
advertising scheme for Knoxville and
East Tennessee. Six men have been
sent to all the prominent cities of
the Northwest with thousands OF cir
culars and pamphlets describing the
advantages of Knoxville's climate
and resources. These circulars will
be distributed broadcast over those
sections Of the country and no doubt
with great benefit to Knoxville. "
Properly directed effort would bring
to Georgia thousands of farmers from
the blizzard regions of the Northwest
They are in utter ignorance of the
great advantages they will enjoy in
Georgia, and few live men to talk
to them and explain things to then
