The betting on the streets now is four to
one that Reed will be the next judge,
while some are vainly endeavoring to get
bets that he will have plurality of 500
votes. No one is foolish enough to take
either, and it is even said that well
known Democrat, who stands on the
ground floor of the Market street Demo
cratic nest, is betting on Reed five to one,
in order to hedge in some foolish bets that
he made some time ago that Ault would

How to Dress for n Photograph.

If you are short and stout don't ask
the poor artist to make a picture OF
you full length. He will if you insist,
but he knows he is doing great wrong
thereby. Nothing is SO graceful and
pleasing in picture of stout lady as
q sitting at half length, the figure so
turned as to hide the too too stoutness.
Again, if you are slim and angular, do
not for an instant forget that full
length picture will make you appear
more slim and angular. Then the
pretty bust picture is your only hope,
and you should insist on having mono
other. If q gentleman has a very long
neck-no matter how nicely he looks
in high collar, his picture If taken in
such high affair would look grotesque.
A short neck and high collar, and long
neck and turned down collar by all
means. No loud stripes, no great
checks. no striking figures should be
worn in a photograph. One thing
bear in mind when you visit the studio
bring along your home expression.
Don't spend two days before you come
to the studio practicing poses and diff
ferent expressions before your mirror
and, lastly, give the photographer the
benefit OF exercising his artistic and
professional ability.

Drlnkina and ApOpleXY.

The Irish W. rid presents to its read
ers the following wholesale lesson con-
corning alcohol and apoplexy. lit is
the essential nature of all wines and
spirits to send an increased amount of
blood to the brain. The first effect of
taking glass of wine or stronger form
of alcohol is to send the blood there
faster than common. Hence the circu-
lation that gives the red face. 1t in
creases the activity of the brain and it
works faster, and SO does the tongue,
but as the blood goes faster than COM
mon to the brain, it returns faster and
no immediate harm may result. But
suppose a man keeps on drinking; the
blood is sent to the brain 50 fast in
large quantities that in order to make
room for it the arteries have to charge
themselves. They increase in size.
and in doing so. they press against
the more yielding haccid veins which
carry the blood out of the brain. and
diminish the size of the pores the re.
suit being that the blood is not only
carried to the arteries of the brair
faster than is natural or healthful, but
is prevented from leaving it as fast a.
usual. Hence double set Of causes
of death are in operation. Hence I
man may drink enough brandy O
other spirits in few hours, or ever
minutes, to bring on fatal attack o
apoplexy. This is being literally dea'
| drunk

The Cts Mystery.

The following curious puzzle beats
the celebrated "l3-15-14" enigma of a
few years ago, and is well-worth inves-
tigation. Take strip OF cardboard
or paper Is inches long and 5 wide, thus
giving a surface Of IS square inches
Now cut this strip diagonally, as true
as you can, the result being two pieces
in shape of triangles. Now measure
exactly five inches from the larger end
of each strip, and cut each in two
pieces. Take your four pieces and put
them in the shape OF an exact square.
and it will appear to be just 8 inche;
each way, or 81 square inches-a loss
of square inch of superficial measure
ment, with no diminution of surface
The question is, what becomes of thai
inch?"

A STRANGE STORY.
A Poor working Girl Who Became a F..
Orite Sultana.

ortte Sultana.
Much surprise has just been CAUSED
in Brussels by the news that the favor.
tie wife of the Sultan is not only a Bel.
gian by birth but that some fifteen
years ago she was a poor girl workin,
for her living in the coal mines nesr
Mons. Her name was Flora Collin
and was then and is still remarkably
beautiful woman. Her health havinc
been seriously impaired by the terrible
atmosphere of the coal mine, soma
charitable person sent her to Paris and
placed her as apprentice in the great
dressmaking establishment of Nine
NJ. where, clever and intelligent
the girl soon became one of Madames
most valued employers.
Among the numerous patrons of the
renowned couturiere was the motherot
the present Sultan, lady of much re-
finement for harem born and bred
woman, and who sent to Paris for all
her toilets. Flora Collin was sent to
Constantinople with some marvellous
dresses which the lady in question had
ordered and which she wished to have
altered, If desired by Partisan artistic
before her eyes. From that time to
now Flora Collin was not heard of
again. In a short letter which she
wrote to her employer few weeks
after her arrival in Constantinople she
merely stated that, having found some
profitable employment in the capital Of
Turkey, she had decided to spend her
time there. Then complete silence fol-
lowed.
"a few months ago an uncle of
Flora Collin died in Brussels, where
he had amassed considerable fortune
in business during the next few years.
When his will was opened it was found
that he had left all his money to his
"beloved niece Flora Collin" request
| ing his executors to find her, and men,
tioning the fact that he believed her
to be in Constantinople. Notices were
put in the papers OF that city inquir-
| ing whether lady bearing the name
above mentioned was existing in the
Sultan's dominions, and if such was
the case, requesting her to present
herself at the Belgian Embassy for
Identification. Twenty-four hours later
a gorgeous equipage, escorted by
mounted eunuchs, stopped at the port
ais of the Embassy and yelled lady
sent word to the Ambassador that she
wished to see him at once on a matter
of Importance. Brought to his pres
ence, she stated that she was Flora
Collin and had been married for the
past thirteen years to the present
Sultan, Abdul-Hamid having fallen il
love at first sight with the beautiful
modiste who had come to fit on hi:
mothers dresses, married her almost
Immediately, and ever since she has
been his only legal wife. 1t may be o
interest to add that the Sultana re
nounced her uncle's inheritance il
favor Of her family in Belgium, an ac
of generosity which has made the poo'
people happy for life.

of the terrible treatment OF slaves by
their masters. Had such been the
case Head and Ellis would never have
taken part in the stories am about to
tell. They live almost in the shadow
of Andersonville prison. Gilbert Head
is now about IS years old. He is tall,
very dark negro, with an air OF keen
shrewdness. He has no children. He
was the slave of DR.. Head of Stewart
county, Georgia. OF course he had a
slave wife. He was shrewd and in
telligent and saved whatever money
might have been given him. In 1856
he rented himself and wife from Yr.
Head and went to Americas, wher. he
opened laundry. He did well and
saved enough money to have btjught
his and his wife's freedom, but he did
not care to do so. After his freedom
was declared by the events of the war
and he could buy land he invested his
savings in different ways. Early in the
'7O's he bought a big tract of land in
Americas known as Mccoy hill. Upon
this he began gradually erecting negro
cabins, until now there are hundreds
of them there. 1t is here he made his
fortune. He is probably worth 500,
900, for he pays taxes on over 800.
OOO and is the third richest negro in
the state. After his wife's death he
adopted several girls, educated them as
school-teachers, and gave xaem a start
in life.

a Few Gems.

Wavering faith never waits on God.
Purity of heart Is the source OF true
joy.
Sin is the source of all shame, sor-
row and real danger.
Each Christian should live on earth
as in the visible presence OF God.
A godly life is truly honorable,
unspeakably blessed and absolutely
safe.
Those who would be strong in the
Lord, must keep the unity OF the
Spirit.
Love is unlike deposit in the
bank. The more you draw on it, the
more there is in it.-Texas Baptist
