mummie. and moh.mme.,.n..

Ono night visited the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art for the purpose Of exam
lining some Of the antiques exhibited
there, and took look at the mummied
cats, in which my little son, who was
with me. is especially interested. Very
solemn and CHASTITY are the swathed and
silent tabbies, who perhaps gamboled
around the feet of Moses and Of Pha.
raoh's daughter, and it struck me in
looking at them that the Egyptians of
5000 years ago were little ahead of the
New York Of today in their devotion to
birds and quadrupeds.
Something Of this veneration for the
brute creation has been transmitted to
the Mohalnmedan of the east, who per-
mits neither cats nor dogs to be slain,
but provides meals and quarters for
them. A learned pundit of that persua-
sion once expressed to the late s. S. Cox,
when minister to Turkey. his surprise
that Society for the Prevention of CRU
city to Animals should be needed in a
Christian country. Our brilliant "Sun-
set" was not usually at Il loss for words
either to conceal or express an idea, but
on this occasion he confessed that he
was routed by the unspeakable Turk,
and had to take refuge in the assertion
that this was the work of the Blavatsky
sect of Buddhists. 1t is just possible
that tho gentle Turk believed him, but
Mr.. Cox was always of the opinion that
he did not.-New York Letter.

Selling Tobacco In D.nvi1le.

1t is an interesting sight to SEQ the
hundreds Of covered tobacco wagons
come to market. Large ware houses are
ready to offer every fnducement to farm.
ers to sell their load. Driveways lead
to the great floors where the load is as
sorted in piles according to grade, hav-
ing been weighed first while on the
truck. Each pile is tagged with the
name Of the owner and the weight
with place for the buyers name and
price, Many farmers remain over night,
for they arrive at all hours of the day
and night. Free stables and other ordi-
nary comforts are provided.
There are ten ware houses in Danville,
N. 9. They are divided into two series
Of five each, and public sales are con-
Quoted in two at the same time. Under
the direction Of the Tobacco Exchange
the order Of sales ia isarranged. Plaoards
are posted at different points, "First sale
at Meals" Second sale at Acree's," and
so on, each warehouse taking its assigned
turn until all five have sold out-first to-
day, the last tomorrow. Each ware
house has Its own auctioneer, clerks,
and most Of the firms buying having
two sets Of buyers to attend on the two
circuits.-Cor. Washington Post.

A Good Method of Copying.

Buy a piece of common factory or
cheese cloth, or as many pieces as may
be necessary to make the desired number
of copies, each the size of the letter book
page. When about to take copies wet
the cloth. orseveral pieces if necessary,
so thoroughly that there shall be no dry
spots. This done wiring them out as
dry as possible with the hands. Now
place the oil sheet in the book and the
cloth thereon, and the leaf of the copy
book on this. Next lay the letter or
manuscript on this, and if another sheet
is to be copied add another oil sheet, a
wet cloth, the tissue leaf, and so on for
as many sheets as there may be to copy
By this process as many as twenty
sheets may be copied successfully at the
same time. while the most expert with
the brush, or any similar device for
moistening the tissue leaves, will some
times fail on single copy. We retired
our hair and felt brushes to make place
for tho cheese cloth number of years
ago. For typewriter work nothing ex-
cells the cloth. Clear copies may be pro-
cured as long as there is enough ink left
on ribbon to make an impression

srs achieve trousers and others have
trousers thrust upon them. Who that
ever saw President Arthur can forget
the beautiful folds of his trousersa
Neither large nor small, with no bag
ging at the knee, but falling gracefully
upon his shoe they -were indeed beautiful
to behold. Such trousers were not SIM
ply due to the tailor's art. They showed
his natural affinity for trousers, and
while the experiment might have been
/ attended with danger, there is, neverthe-
less, a strong probability that Mr.. Ar
thur would have made pair of Bowery
''hand-me-d downs" look quite respectable.
OF all the presidents Of modern times he
was the best clothed as to his neither
garments
His great predecessor, Gen. Garfield,
achieved trousers. His tailor was good,
the cloth was in good taste, but the
wearer gave little attention to the mat
ter. and even appeared in public once in
trousers frayed at the heel. Hayes
trousers were barely respectable, while
Gen. Grant was utterly Indifferent to
his Trousers were thrust upon him.
He really had no taste for them.
President Harrison's trousers are re-
spectacle and good always, but they arc
full Of wrinkles and of so conservative
a color as to be nonentities in the trouser
world, and President Cleveland's legs
were incased In broadcloth of stiffness
and newness Of appearance that showed
u woeful subordination of the wearer to
the tender mercies Of the tailor. This
Is a fatal mistake. A mans trousers
should 81 bow the combined thought Of
the wearer and the tailor. Neither can
accomplish them successfully alone

it-that he was yachting and bluefshing

bluefish ran away With his hook and
squld, and that, although there were
several hooks aboard, there We're no more
sGnids; that he wronched off the silver
Iandlo Of a handsome umbrella that had
boen presented to him the winter before
by his son Walter, and running the hook
through it used it for o squid

RAPID RISE TO WEALTH.

Story OF the Leap to Financial sassps
of Adam Dudenheifer.
A party Of gentlemen were talking in
front Of the Hotel Sandersville q few
evenings ago, carrying on a running
conversation about men and events.
They were calling up little "reminiscences
of the past, when one Of them remarked:
"Years ago, just after the close of the
war, l remember there lived in this
county man who every day walked be-
tween the plow handles, tilling his little
farm for livelihood, contented and
serene, seemingly careless and unmind-
full Of the hard life he daily led. BY his
fellows he was not accredited with any
unusual degree of business tact, nor was
1t tho case that his Judgment in matters
Of finance was sought ky any of his
acquaintance.
"If he was overly shrewd no one knew
it; if he anticipated any successful
achievements beyond the sphere in which
he moved he did not let any one know
of this latent ambition that fred his
brain. Finally he drifted away from
these parts. At first he went to Savan-
nah. Soon after reaching that city, hay
ing made favorable impression on a
lady who had some means and who as
sisted himin pecuniary matters, he be-
came associated with John L. Martin in
the cotton commission business. In that
he prospered fairly well, and eventually
married his benefactress. Retiring from
the cotton trade he went to New York
some time in tho seventies. There he
struck in, it seems, with the 'magicians
of finance in the great metropolis, and
prosperity has beamed On him ever since.
cat the annual election Of stockhold-
ers of the Central railroad in Savannah
Gen. Alexander, the president, voted by
proxy 3,700 shares Of that stock, the
property of Adam Dudenheifer, Of New
York, and that was only meager por-
ton of his Accommodations. The Adam
Dudenheifer that lived in pinched cir
cumstances in this county years ago is
now the same Dudenheifer that is ac-
counted almost, if not entirely, a million
aire in the most popuious and wealthiest
city in tho Union.
His life, SO far as rapid money making
goes, is marvellous success, and yet it
is but the history Of other men. From
the bottom he has risen and worked his
way through adverse circumstances to
position of security and ease. It is all in

n1anufacture Of 3.u...

In the ordinary processes of the loom
the warp threads are always kept paral-
lei in whatever way the weft threads
may he twisted around them. But In
making gauze two adjoining warp
threads are completely twisted around
each other between the two rows of the
shuttle or casts Of the weft. Some De.
culiar appendages Of tho loom are re-
quired to effect this. Ono consequence
Of the mode of interlacing is that the
texture is light, the welt threads being
further apart than would be practical in
other webs. In appearance, as well as
in modo Of producing, gauze occupies
kind Of medium position between plain
weaving and plain lace or bobinet.-

A euro for Snake Bites.

A gentleman from the vicinity of Dali
ton canyon informed reporter that
very exciting little episode occurred
up in that canyon on Tuesday. and
one which promised for time to re.
suit in the horrible death of t. wool
chopper, whose name he was unable to
learn. The man had been cutting stove
wood for some days, and had four OF
i've corls of wood piled up in different
places along the canyon.
On Tuesday morning he started in to
cord up the wood, and worked faithful
ly until about 10 o'clock, when a large
rattlesnake, which was coiled up under
the edge Of the wood, bit him three
times in rapid succession on the hand
and arm. The poor, unfortunate man
was three or four miles from a habita-
ton, and had nothing at hand to coun-
teract the fatal poison.
Suddenly, however, his eyes fell upon
familiar little vine, known as the Ari-
zona rattlesnake vine. He had pros
pected in Arizona years ago and knew
OF the virtues of this little fine leaved
milk weed vine, but he had no means of
making tea of 1t. Nevertheless he at
once, as rapidly as possible, gathered
large bunch Of 1t, lay down under the
shade Of small oak tree and began to
chew 1t, swallow the juice and apply
the mascerated leaves to the bites
He grew dizzy and faint for while,
until tho medical qualities of the weed
began to take effect. He continued to
chew and swallow the antidote, and the
painful effects of tho poison grew grad
ually less. At about o'clock he was
able to start for home, where he arrived
with but little Inconvenience. He con-
tinued tho remedy, and by 10 o'clock
Tuesday night was to all intents and
purposes entirely recovered.-Pomona

Compressed, Air rorpedo.

Still another torpedo, this one the in
vention Of an Austrian count, Buona-
corsi by name, has made its appearance
in tho European naval and military
world. According to official and private
reports of the trials Of this instrument
they were eminently successful, giving
results superior even to those obtained
from the Whitehead. The motive power
is compressed air, acting directly from
reservoir upon the propeller without any
assistance or Intervention from machiu-
cry. The propulsion is effected by twin
screws working inversely and giving a
velocity greater and more continuous, it
is contended, than any obtained in other
torpedoes. One remarkable feature of
this invention is the faculty Of auto
matte guidance, which enables it to
avoid protective nets and shields, and to
dive any distance before rising to give
its blow.-Exchange.

Dyeing Roses.

1t is said that the process of dyeing
roses is becominga a remunerative branch
Of industry with English horticulturists.
Instead Of growing new varieties of
roses. which is process of years, they
simply grow ordinary white roses and
dip them in chemical solution which
in single hour converts them into the
most magnificent yellow tea roses, the
rare scarlet 1ed or the peculiar shade of
blush violet which has been one of the
favorites of the season. In q similar
way pink roses are turned into blossoms
of the deepest red. Some years ago, be-
fore this branch Of floral chemistry"
was developed, tho first experiments
were successfully made In France with
the popular pink hortensia, which. by
being watered with solution Of iron,
assumed q blue shade.-London Letter.

Point of Danger in Infection. Diseases.

Point Of Danger in Infectious Diseases.
Measles is most infectious in the
earlier stages, and 1t is often too late to
take precautions when the disease is
fully developed. Scarlet fever is most
dangerous in the convalescent stage;
when the skin is peeling, and terrible
risks are often run by children being
taken out and about without sufficient
precautions being taken to insure the
safety Of those with whom they may
chance to come in contact. With whoop-
ing cough there is but little danger IN
the open air, unless the children are in
actual contact, but great risk in being
shut up in the same atmosphere, either
in close room or railway carriage

Money Invested in Electricity

Some recent authentic statistics show
tho extent to which the electric lighting
industry has grown in this country. The
returns from about ], 400 central stations
aggregate capital stock of $119, 900, 900.
and this may be taken to be very near
the amount actually invested, as the
plants, owing to increases and recon-
structions, frequently represent much
more than the nominal share capital
These stations have capacity of 1877, 900
arc lights and 100000 incandescents of

supply current for these lights are oper-
ated by engines of 35G, ,755 horse power
