A Muscular Georgian.

A gentleman who was in Marietta
recently reported muscular feat per-
formed by NJ L. Fontain.
A man from Chattanooga was lifting
a chair by the bottom round to show
his muscle.
THAT'S nothing" said Fontain; II
can lift the chair with you in it,
"pll bet you $50 you can't" said the
Tennesseean.
"All right, sit down." said Fontain.
The man weighed about 1876 pounds,
and when he seated himself Fontain
pulled up his sleeve and, grasping the
round of the chair firmly, he steadied
himself, and with outstretched arm
lifted the chair and man several feet
from the floor Then lowering the
burden, he set the chair back on the
floor, poclSeted the $50 and walked off.

Bulls of IA German Professor.

The prize medal for absent mindedness
during lectures must be awarded to a
German professor named Johannes Amer;
who recently died in Vienna. One of his
pupils had a list of his remarkable say
ings, among them the following: Julius

''The Swiss are a mountainous nation,
but in Scotland the climate does not

No. S.-Numerical Enigma.

A Spanish soldier, having struggled from
the main body of troops, was overtaken by
shower of rain. AS protection from the
storm, he donned large l, 2, 8, 4, while over
his arm hung a /, 9, 8, 4 in which he expected
shortly to l, 2, s. quantities of /, 2, 8, 4,

Coming unexpectedly upon a 8, 2, /, 4 of l,

ter which he thus paradoxically apostrophized
it: "You are wet, you are dry. So likewise
was l. drank of you, and you quenched
my thirst You would greatly aid my CON-
panions and me in the work before us, but
the 8, 2, l, 4 in which you are is too unwieldly
for me to carry, and being wet you cannot
be transferred to the l, 2, 5, on my arm;
therefore, most reluctantly l leave you, with
the assurance that your influence will go

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 9.-Mrs. Mol
lie Storm, wife of S. T. Storm, and
Edith ", his fourteen-year-old daugh-
ter; Mrs. j. R Johnson and Carroll,
aged nine years, son of j. S. Grayam,
were drowned yesterday in St Ingoe's
creek, St Mary's County, while bath
ing. The bodies were recovered and
were brought to Baltimore this morning.
The drowned were members of party
of fourteen Ba1timoreans-Mrs. Storm
and two children, Mrs. johnson and
three children and nephew, Miss Nettie
Grayam, her three nephews and niece,
and Mrs. Stevens. The party, with the
exception of Miss Grayam, who stood
on shore, went bathing in the creek
about a quarter of mile from the house
where they were stopping.
The steamer Sue came along. The
delight of the children at the sight of
the vessel found expression in hearty
cheers and waving of hands, which sa-
lutations Captain Geoghan acknowl-
edged by several whistles. The Sue
was about quarter of a mile from the
bathers. The undertow from the
steamer caught the. women and
children and swept them beyond
their depth. Miss Grayam cried out
so loudly that Captain Geogham heard
her, but before he could reach the
bathers number of oystermen went to
the rescue and saved nine. Mrs John
son and Edith Storm lost their lives in
efforts to save Mrs. Storm and Carroll
Graham. Mrs Stevens, when carried
ashore was inSensible, but was resusci-
tated. a

DRESSING IN eoTnAM.
Ae Ii Not the Richest Men That Wear Il


1t Ii Not the Richest Men That Wear the
Best Clothes.
The best-dressed men in New York
are not the richest citizens by eny
means In fact, dress is no more the
index to mans pocketbook here than
1t is elsewhere. There are probably
10000 clerks downtown who dress bet
ter, richer and more tastefully than
their employers. Some of our million
aires are so mean they would use wart
ON the neck for a collar button. They
show it in their attire as well as in
other ways The best-dressed man you
meet Is more likely to be a man who
lives In a hall bedroom Of some cheap
boarding house and can scarcely raise
money to pay his board from week to
week. He may be an actor, Or barber,
or a dry goods clerk. or something of
that sort, but he pays special attention
to clothes He makes clothes the lead
ing feature Of his daily life. Every
fashionable woman will tell you that
dressing is an art It is the same with
a man. 1trequires both taste and study,
and not necessarily a good deal of
money. The less money, the greater
the genius demanded. / have seen
women who always look better on 500
or $500 a year than others ON as many
thousands.
ALI of us know men who spend lot
OF money on clothes and tailors and are
never well dressed. New York is full
of such men, Life is too short and time
too valuable for most men to worry over
the exact shade or figure of cloth and
the precise cut or fit of the tailor So
the fashions of men are invented and
governed by people for whom those of
the great. driving business world have
the utmost contempt just as the fash
ions Of the feminine world are nodded
and set by the cocottes of Paris. The
originators are worthless and unknown,
but they bring to bear on the matter an
amount of taste and an aggregation of
novel ideas superior to the masses who
consciously or unconsciously initiate
them. There are young fellows about
New York-yes, and old fellows, too
who. on small incomes, get more amuse-
ment out of dress, and make drawer
show of fashion than all the million
aires of the country put together.-N.
