GEORGIA'S CREDIT.
Clews Badly Sat Down On in the Sale
of Last Week.

of Last Week.
NEW YORK, July Gov. John b. Cor
don was heartily congratulated in Wall
street to-day when it became known that
the Mutual life insurance company had
bought the 81 ,9OO,O 900 Of new A IS Georgia
bonds at 1919 Gov. Gordon says that he
received sealed bids for this loan aggre-
eating nearly Ave times the amount of
bonds to be issued. and that the variation
between the bids was very small, thus
proving the widespread excellence of
Georgia's credit.
MEANS FOUR PER CENT HEREAFTER.
He also says that the next bonds which
the state has occasion to issue will certainly
not need to bear over 4 per cent interest,
and that at that rate they will
readily sell at par. This purchase
by the Mutual life insurance com
pany is an excellent Endorsement Of
the states credit and practically nulllfies
the venomous attacks which have persist
entity been made on Georgia bonds by
Henry Clews and his associates, who are
sick and spiteful because they own the bulk
of spurious issue which the state has re
pudlated.
CLEws' VENOM
Pending this sale, while the advertise
ment requesting bids has been appearing in
the Georgia papers, an advertisement pre-
sumably inserted by the Clews rarty has
been running in several of the New Yorl,
papers Offering Georgia per cent. bonds
at 70 cents on the dollar. In the face
of this sarcastic effort to impair
Georgia's credit, she has sold her rev A.
b nds at a handsome premium, while the
Clews variety, although offered at 81 per
cent. discount, have not gone off like hot
cakes. Henry Clews may learn, after
awhile, that the honor Of Georgia is far
above the reach Of his attacks, ana that her
credit is too thoroughly established to be
affected even in New YORK, where Mr.,
Clews is continuous in his efforts to be

One very good plan is something like
the following: From two to -four pupils
are selected, and it is made the duty of
each to look up and copy n short moral
sentiment or maxim to be read at the
opening of the school in the morning.
Another set is selected to present similar
maXims the next day, and in this way
all the pupils are selected in turn. When
the pupil has read or repeated his senti-
ment to the school it is illustrated or
commented upon by the teacher till the
meaning is not only clear but well i'm
pressed. After the reading of the senti-
ments they are copied on the black board,
where they remain all day, and zach
pupil in the room copies them into a
blank book. After the first day the
teacher calls upon volunteers to repeat
the sentiments given on preceding days,
Five or six sentiments may be called up
in review each day.
Some pupils, not much accustomed to
general reading, may find it difficult to
look up new sentiments; but let it be
understood hat if a new one cannot be
found an old one will be accepted. Under
judiciOus management there will be no
trouble here. Children do not like to be
parrots, repeating the words of their
mates; and when review sentiments are
presented they will be quite sure to be
such as deserve repetition.-Mary E.
Beedy in The Century.

Concerning the Word "nIIzzard.n

Respecting the word 'blizzard, " a cor
respondent writes to London Notes and
Queries: "The word blizzard is well
known through the Midlands, and its
cognates are fairly numerous. l have
known the word and its kin fully thirty
years. Country folk used the word to
denote blazing, blasting, binding, daz-
zling'Or sitting. One who has had to
face n severe storm of snow, hail, rain,
dust or wind would say on reaching
shelter that he has faced n blizzer,' or
that the storm was "a regular blizzard
A binding flash of lightning would call
forth the exclamation, 'Myl that wor a
blizzomer!' or That wor a blizzerl Put

a blizzer'-a blaze, "A good blizzom'-a
good blaze. That tree is blizzared-
blasted, withered. As an oath the word
is often used, and May / be blizzered'

nrorhIdrr Melancholy ycrse..

Every editor who has TO deal with
purely literary contributions will bear
witness that nine-tenths of the verses
offered by young writers nowaday 5 are
of this morbidly melancholy class. To
look over the manuscripts in a Jingle
mornings mail would lead one to sup
pose a sort of moral pestilence had
jumped the quarantine the night before
and descended upon America, depicting
its victims lives of all that was fresh,
youthful. hopeful, and pessimizing them,
as il were, beyond cure. 1t is ACh! ACh!
ACh! over mt over again, every trans
lator giving his own version and applica-
ton. Poems and stories relating to
Christmas and Thanksgiving with a true
ring of gladness and good cheer in them
are rare; while autumn leaves, par
tiCularly the scar" variety, are as popu-
lar mediums for the transmission of woes
rs were the Sibyls of old.
There is real trouble enough in the
world, n pitiful God knows. Let us have
words of sympathy, of grave, sweet coun-
sci in our sorrow, you pen wielders
whom we admit to our inmost selves at
times when no living presence could be
borne. Tell us, if you will, of your own
sad experiences, and how you found con-
ISOLATION in them; remind us. and we shall
be grateful, that life is a solemn, earnest
thing, by no e to be laughed at or
lightly tripped through; but do not call
upon us to shudder over vaguely impend-
ing %terrors; do not scrape from your
palette the living colors of crimson petal,
and golden maple bough, and the chang
ing sheen of the rainbow, bidding us sol
ace ourselves with mist and ashes of
roses. 1t is the feet of him that bringeth
good tidings that are beautiful upon the
mountains; he who publisheth peace is
the true benefactor of his fellow men,

Musical talent is, without comparison,
the gift of nature most widely diffused in
Tyrol, and to a stranger, particularly an
Englishman, it is amazing to find a finely
developed ear and a capital voice in the
commonest country lout, who scarcely
knows his A B &, and to whom Bismarck
is an unheard of being.
To be able to join with a second or
third voice in a song which they have
never heard before is a very common &C
complishment. For instance, a lady Of
my acquaintance was one afternoon play
ing and singing a Viennese air. The
windows were open, and two country
lasses passing along the road stopped and
listened for a little time. Presently,
when at my request my friend repeated
the song, the two girls fell in, one with
the second and the other with the third
voice.
Being q stranger in the country, my
friend would not believe that the girls
were common peasant lasses,
quainted with the piece of music which
she played; and SO, in order to convince
her, l sent down for them and made
them accompany her in n number of
songs which she sang to try them. Their
information and expressive voices excited
her admiration no less than the piano did
that of the buxom lasses. Youths Com

Oddities of Noted Authors-oueer Ways

of Statesmen.
Voltaire had in his room sometimes
five desks, at which he pursued different
tasks.
The great romancer, Balzac, after a
frugal dinner at 6 or 7 o'clock, was called
at midnight, when he took a cup of
black coffee, or green rather, and ex-
tremely strong, and worked till oOn
Turgot never worked but when he had
dined heartily.
Pitt never ate but at his own table,
which was frugal; only when he had
some important affair to discuss he took
a little port wine with a spoonful of
Peruvian bark.
Addison speaks of an advocate who
would never plead a case without having
his hand to the end of a thread drawn
tightly round one of his thumbs all the
time his speech lasted. The wags said it
was the thread of his discourse.
DR.. Shapman relates that a celebrated
advocate of London always applied a
blister to his arm whenever he a an
important case to plead.
GirOdet never loved to work during
the day. At night, when inspiration
came to him, he arose, lighted candles,
and, half mutfled up, painted.
Michael Angelo did nearly the same,
but with a single candle.
The historian, Mezeray, would work
only with a candle, even at midday and
midsummer. He never failed to wait on
his visitors, even to the street, with q
candle in his hand.
Gretry, to animate himself when COM
posing, breakfasted and took coffee, and
then applied himself day and night to his
piano.
Bossuet worked in a cold room, with
his head warmly enveloped.
1t is said that Schiller, before compos-
ing, put his feet in cold water.
Guido Reno painted with much pomp.
He dressed himself magniicently, and
had his pupils attend him in silence
ranged around him.
Sarti, the musician, composed only in
darkness.
Michael Angelo, Leonardo da Vinci,
Titan, Rubens, passed from the chisel to
the pen or the brush. The change rested
them from the preceding work; and thus,
during long life, they accomplished mar
velous works.
Some persons can think only standing,
or in walking the room with swift strides.
Some, like Montesquieu, compose in n
postchaise. One has need of complete
isolation, profound calm; another of the
open air int the noise of the crowd.
Button wrote in lace %rutfles; Alexander
Dumas in shirt sleeves.
Milton composed his Paradise LOST
on a large armchair, with his head
thrown back.
When Fox had eaten heartily he would
retire to his study, envelop his head in n
napkin soaked in vinegar and water, and
work sometimes ten hours in succession.
Jeremy Bentham jotted his ideas on
little squares of paper, which he piled
upon each other, and this pile of little
papers stitched together was the first
forms of his manuscripts.
Napoleon had his particular mode of
meditation and work. When he was
not in council he stayed in his study,
talked to himself and sung, or, like n
child, cut the arms of his chair; then
suddenly rousing up, would give the
plan of a monument to be erected, or of
n of the great military movements
which astonished the world.-New York

South African Snake Charmers.

Col. Nicholas Pike gives some very in
teresting experiences in the matter of
snake charming.
II have seen a native of Cape Town,
South Africa" he said, take the deadly
puff adder and play with it as you would
a riding whip. He would take the
deadly cobra, also, and make them stand
on their tails and sway their bodies back
and forth, keeping time to the music of
n small instrument like the clarionet.
There are men in India who go about
charming snakes out of the matched
roofs of the huts. l have seen them do
it. They would sit down and commence
to play, and in a little time, if you
watched, you would see a large snake
come out of the roof and crawl down to
the floor of the hut. Then a basket
would be put over him and he would be
made q prisoner. The shriller the music
the more satisfactory it seems to the
snake. brooklyn Eagle.

John belongs to a race whose members
for centuries have enjoyed the proud dis
tinction of being permitted to speak
twice, but that is n privilege which John
has never yet attempted to avail himself
Of. The other day he worked SO steadily
that h" too ne note of the flight of time
and the closing hour arrived before he
was able to realize that the afternoon
was half gone. "Well, well, well, " said
the old man, in a bewildered sort of
fashion, ''it must be true, as I've heard,
that the days grow shorter as a man
grows older. | can't understand how it
is that hours slip by so fast" He stood
for a moment in silent and almost mourn
full contemplation. Then the light of an
idea slowly ditTused itself over his broad,
honest face. That's it," he said, still
in a r~everie; that's it. 1t must be them

There are districts in India where the
rainfall is over 100 inches q year, and
yet not far off there are other districts
which suffer greatly for water. The
fields are irrigated in these by water
drawn from wells by oxen, lifting it in
great skin buckets. Fields so irrigated
have wheat waving in as great beauty as
/ ever saw, while just over the irrignting
ditch there are thousands OF acres of
land which produce scafty crops in the
hot rainy seasons, but are desolate at
this time, which is the best for good
crops under the burning sun of India.

Customs of the AIbnnIans.

Among the Albanians exist bitter feuds
that have been handed down from gener-
alton TO generation, and when men meet
of those two families there is bound to be a
fight hat will last until one or the other
is dead or disabled, and these feuds often
nave their rise in the quarrels of little
children, or women over the water fOun-
tain. They have a code of unwritten
laws, which govern their intercourse
with each other when enemies, and they
never eviate under any p~rovocation. If
their worst enemy goes into a tavern,
cabaret or cafe, and sits down beside an
other man, they regard him as under the
protection of that man, and in their eyes
it would be making him commit an un-
p~ardoHable breach of hospitality to attack
one under his protection. Also, if they hap
pen by any means TO touch the hand of the
man they wish to kill he is ]henceforth a
friend instead of an enemy, and if ever
you or yours V eaten in company with
an enemy he is obliged to forget his
enmity and be a friend thenceforward,
and being friends among the Albanians
means being more than brothers.
An Albanian will never stab a man in
the back nor shoot from an ambush. If
he cannot fight fair and square, he
doesn't wan to fight. He will not leave
a sick or suffering animal by the road
side; he will pick up n crust Of bread
wherever he sees it, and pray for the
wicked person who made light of such a
perfect gift, and placing it up on some
high place he will deal tenderly with all
weaker han he; he will not drink water
standing up, for fear of appearing to
despise that great blessing, and he will
court a maiden as love lorn as any other
man, in spite of his warlike nature
