Work on the Road
An ex-school teacher tells a story
which is 1.-THE truth, the whole truth.
and nothing but the truth" The At
lanta Constitution endeavors to give
the details of how the mule yuttd as
near in his own language as possible:
ut was customary said he. 'fo- the
teachers in the district to be excused
from road duty by vote of tho lands
present. Some of the boys in the neigh
borhood concluded thas they would like
to see me swing a pick and throw dirt
with shovel. On the morning ingues-
ton. one of the hands who had been
subpened was away on frobc, and
had permission to send his m"'a as a
substitute. The boss called thf boys
together. and asked them to vote On my
case, as TO whether or not to excuse me.
well, the vote was taken and i was
a tie.
"One of my friends made the point
that the mule was substitute sor a
hand, and therefore had the right of
suffrage. The boss decided that it had,
and had all the boys to form a line in
the middle of the road. with the mule in
the gang. Then he proclaimed:
"'All that are in favor OF excusing the
teacher will step off to the right of the
road. and all opposed to the left
well, to the chagrin OF the boys that
wanted me to work, the mule took TO
the right. The vote then stood one in
my favor"

An Unknown ScOundreI Attempts 20 Blow
Up Paradise Hall.
The unhung scoundrel who attempted
the destruction of Paradise Hail during
the last three days of last week will
hear of something greatly to his adj
vantage by addressing the keeper of
the museum.
This is the thirty-fourth attempt made
in the last ten years to destroy that inn
posing edifice, and from the fact that
each and every one has been a failure IL
would seem that some colored guardian
angel made it her special business to
watch over the hall and its wealth of
memories and relics. The unknown
villain who made this last attempt
bored out panel of the alley-door and
proceeded to crawl through into the
hall, from which a stairway leads to the
station OF the outer guard. lie found
one of the BearTraps yawning to re-
ceive him. 1t was the trap known as
The Colossus of Roads, having a spread
of four and half feet, with a spring
power estimated at four-horse power.
He must have scented danger just in
time, as his dead body was not found in
ID.
and piece of his right ear were left be-
hind. however, to show how close the
call must have been. The ianitor even
discovered three eye-winkers on one of
the Jaws, and that the villain escaped
Justice is one Of those mysteries over
which the detectives love to sit and

In going back through the hole he
was in such hurry that he stripped the
buckles off his suspenders, and most of
the buttons off his clothes. and that he
was a white man, and red-haired at that,
is proved by the hairs left on the Jagged
edges.

CATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness-Hay Fever-A New
Home Treatment.


Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrane of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research
however. has proved this 10 be fact, and
the result OF this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
~ B.-This treatment is not snuff or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps TO pay
postage by a. FL. Dixon K Son, cor. of John

Keeping Grapes.

Two essentials are necessary to keep
grapes any length of time in good condi-
ton. One of these is well ripened and
sound fruit, and the other is an even
temperature, as little above freezing as
it is possible to secure and avoid the
risk of its getting too low.
One very good plan is to cut off the
lunches of grapes with good pair of
shears and pick off all the damaged
fruit: dip the ends of the punches into
melted sealing-wax and then pack in
cork or sawdust. Have the dust perfect
Nv dry. If there is any doubt on this
point put it into pans and set in the
stove until it is thoroughly dried ont.
Put layer of the dust into box or jar
and then put in layer of grapes: fill in
with the dust until the fruit is covered.
and then put in another layer of fruit.
and so on until the box or jar is full
Put in the cellar or other cool place
where they can be kept cool and yet be
safe from frost They can also be buried
in the ground deep enough to be out OF
danger of freezing and viii keep in good
condition.-St. Louis Republic.
