V0rzin.

The estate of Varzin, which former
ly belonged to Count Blumenthal, is
the finest in Pomerania. Prince Bis
marck owns only half of the original
Blumenthal property, the other half
having been purchased by the Prince
of Hohenzollern- Sigmaringen.
The schloss of Varzin is a large plain
house of two stories, with courtyard
and two projecting wings, in which
are the kitchen and offices. The prin-
cipal rooms look out on a vast lawn,
and on this side of the lawn there is a
wide veranda, The estate extends to
$4,000 acres, of which $4,000 are COW
cred with some of the finest forest in
Germany, principally oak and beech.
The prince has home farm of 400
acres, and the remainder of the prop
erty is let in large farms, averaging
700 acres. All the woods are in hand,
and Prince Bismarck has several large
mills on the River Wiper, which
runs through the estate. He has
greatly improved and developed this
property, and his forests furnish most
of the wooden pavements in the streets
of Berlin. The country all around
VaHin is very picturesque, and there
are beautiful walks and drives through
the woods for many miles in every d.
rection. The estate was given to
Prince Bismarck by the late Emperor
William in 1S66.-London World.

three feet by one and half feet broad
and thickly crusted with precious
stones and lovely fans of the red Bur-

5000 rupees, and there are several
hundred rubies alone on this beautiful
thing. On the tip Of the iron rod on
which works the vane is a richly

His Weak Point.

The other day a young London doc
tor, who, doubtless from some scien-
tific or other high motive, had declined
to pay bill, had distress" served
upon him in the most ingenious man
ner. His intelligence had long defied
the bloodhounds of the law, but the
brokers' man alone was one too many
for him. The doors were locked, the
windows boiled, the area gate impreg-
nable; but the genius to whom had
been intrusted the task of entering the
castle was equal to the occasion. What
ne looked for was "the motive"-that
is, the motive which would be most
likely to induce a young doctor to
open. his door; and he found it in a
patient" He drove up to the door in
cab as a chronic but we'll to do in
valid. Swathed in flannel he tottered
up the steps, and when the sympathiz-
ing physician let him in and was about
to inquire into his case, he replied:
Summons, sir; I'm the brokers' man. -

Inconsistent Man.

1nCOn6l6LenC MAN.
It is all nonsense to tell women not
to ''make up" They will do it, and
we must confess that some are posi-
lively repulsive mostly because they
endeavor to do away entirely with all
the dainty accessories SO necessary to
charming and attractive toilet. The
trouble is that so many silly women in
their anxiety for self improvement
overreachethe mark which divides re-
fined elegance from grotesque vulgar
ity. The fault lies not so much in the
use of some one or more articles to
improve defects, but the way in which
they are used. Ahl the men are so
fearfully inconsistent. That is the
trouble.
How often they are heard to declare,
in terms most emphatic, that woman's
greatest charm is in being perfectly
natural. Now watch them, please,
when introduced to fascinating bit
of femininity. Do they stop to study
up cause and effects to find just what
has given that tinge of color to the
pretty white cheek, to inquire why the
eyes look so dark and brilliant as they
dance and sparkle beneath the curly,
fluffy bang? Of course not. The in
consistent creature, man, realizes but
one thing. The girl is lovely, and he
who is SO ready to condemn is also the
first to admire. The cute little woman
laughs in her sleeve and goes on her
way rejoicing, feeling quite repaid for
the extra attention given to her skill
ful and artistic make up.-New York

A Doctors N1ishap.

A somewhat amusing incident lately
happened to a person who tried to
bring man out of an epileptic parox-
ysm by pouring cold water into his
mouth and upon his neck. After q
slight struggle, according to the ac-
count, the epileptic sank back appar-
emily dead, whereupon the manipu-
lator of the water became intensely
anxious, and placed his ear at the
mouth of the patient, who straight
way caught the ear between his teeth
and proceeded to chew it until ''its
beauty had vanished" An arrest on
charge of mayhem followed the cpl
leptic's return to consciousness; but q
police justice discharged the prisoner,
on the ground that he was not respon-
sible for what he had done while in q
fit.-Hall's Journal of Health.

Hog and Hominv.

There are but few subjects to which
we warm moro kindly than hog and
hominy. It once had its habitat in
this section; in fact it is almost cosmo-
politan, it can exist in every cline,
but the true home of hog and hominy
is in this delightful region. Before
the war, in those good old days when
peace and plenty cheered the laboring
swain in this God favored cline, the
hog received distinguished attention.
The glorious reports of the maturing
large corn crop of this section con-
lures up pictures that are colored by
the recollection Of the past. There
was = time when southwest Georgia
was noted for being the greatest pro-
vision country of the south. It was
the Egypt of the south during the
dark days of the war between the
states.
Its granaries were as full as the
cemented wheat bins Of Egypt in Jo-
seph's time, and meat and corn were
hauled from here in long trains that
daily went to supply the needs Of the
army of the Potomac and the west
ern army. Notwithstanding the drain
upon our resources, they were not ex-
hausted, but the cessation of hostilities
found us with corn and porkers in
great abundance. Plantations not
comprising more than 500 acres killed,
after the war, as many as 400 hogs.
Underline altered condition of things
our planters did not believe it possible
to raise their own meat, and wholly
neglected one of the best industries we
had, and the consequence has been
that VIC have had our smoke house in
the west ever since and we make a
large annual contribution to the pros
perity Of the west. Fully 200 cars OF
western meat are annually received in
Albany and consumed within the
limits of it's territory. That amounts
to the enormous tax of $500, OOO.-Al-
bany (Ga.) News and Advertiser.

A centuu Of Progress.

Only a century ago charcoal iron
was produced to the extent OF about
30 600 tons yearly; twenty years later
the product was but SO. 900 tons; Even
Great Britain in 1888 produced only
e. 900 tons-not so much as some FUR
naces in the United States now turn
out yearly. The manufacture Of d steer
was Just beginning in the States;
twenty years later only 9l7 tons were
produced in the country, The coarsest
nip iron then cost about as much as
steel rails do now. Last year the
American product of pig iron was
94SO, 739 tons, and the highest price OF
best foundry pig was s2l ton. The
output of steel rails was in round
numbers 100000 and the best price
$31 so. A single American railway
now buys more iron than both Great
Britain and the United States made
century ago. There were neither rail-
WAYS, iron bridges nor buildings; no
petroleum pipes, for there was no
petroleum; no gas pipes, for there was
no gas lighting even in Europe until
later.
Washington lived in an age of dark
ness; instead of the electric light the
people had candles costing about two
cents apiece. In all the departments
and applications of chemistry the cen
fury has simply created a new world.

completely revolutionized the supply
Of table and house ware, is an inven-
ton of the last sixty years. Farming
in Washington's day knew nothing Of
machinery; even the first iron pillow,
patented in 1897, was failure, for
New Jerusalem farmers thought it

and harvesters began to be invented
about the same time, and even the Or
binary implements were such as 1t
