Beautiful Cuban Game Cocks.
These game cocks were small birds Of
every conceivable color, and with spurs long
aud polished, upon which the steel gafs
were fastened. They crowed and defied one
another, and talked rooster talk to. their
owners, and pecked at the buttons on the
shirt fronts of the Cuban dandies, who held
them in their arms. When placed upon the
platform at my request TO inspect them, they
made at one another as far as possible, being
further prevented by an expensive and
padded leash attached TO one of the legs.
The Cuban game cock is thing of beauty,
and is more to be admired than the heartIess
brutes who fight them so mercilessly, SO that
if they do not kill one another in the limited
time in the ring they take them to one side
and let them fight to the death.
A voyage in one of the well appointed
Ward line of steamships to Cuba, Nassau
or Vera Cruz is all that the most exactinp
tourist can wish for. The table is excellent.
the officers unobtrusively polite and efficient,
and the passenger is allowed to obey his
own sweet will. He is we'll fed, and has
every facility furnished him for life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness. Games
are the order of the day; music and dancing
the order OF the evening, and good fellow
ship and peaceful, restful comfort exists in
the supreme sense.
There is nowhere on the globe that the
tired professional or business man or the
invalid can so surely obtain pure, soft
balmy air, that invites and entertains
baImy sleep and refreshment as on one of
these elegant ships, sailing as she does, after
the first 30 hours, literally in summer seas.
With the softest of wholesome breezes con-
stantly tanning you into composure and
perfect comfort, the pleasure of cigar on
the deck at night and conversation with it,
one reaches the acme of solid comfort and
happiness. W. H. DAILY.

Georgia believes in business first and
politics afterward We have such a
great state and such Varied interests
that naturally we feel proud and intend
to eclipse many northern states at the
exposition. When a Georgian gets his
busine pride up he means to occom-
plish a great deal, and that fair
is going TO be made greater and
more magnificent by the fact that
that our state will be represented
there. Every Georgian win go to the

his state has made and | think he will

THE MASTERS COMING.

Il is desolate night and lonely, afar in the
desolate land,
awaited the Masters coming-the touch Of
His healing hand.
The gates of his house were guarded and sealed
with seal of stone;
Yet still for his steps waited and wept in the
dark alone.
And said, when the guards are dreaming
will steal to his couch Of rest
He will think of my weary vigils and welcome
me to His breast"
But lol when the seal was broken, the couch
where my Master lay
Held only His shining garments they had
taken my Lord away
Then my soul in Its grief and anguish lay down
in the dark to die,
Under hopeless heaven, under a sunless sky;
But my dreams were all of the Master-dear as
my soul was dear;
And waking, saw the glory of His beautiful
presence herel
And He said, as fell and worshiped: arise,
and the Master see;
Behold the thorns that have crowned Him
the wounds that were made for thee!"
wait for the Masters coming now as in days
gone by,
Under hopeful heaven, under a cloudless sky;
And still when the guards are dreaming, !
steal to his couch of rest;
His smile through the darkness lightens, and
welcomes me to His breastl

The Time to Charge.

At the taking of Moscow, while the
troops sat in their saddles under muir.
derous fire, Murat, Napoleon's dashing
chief of cavalry, received a dispatch to
which an answer was required. Though
his mettlesome horse was trembling,
Murat laid the reins upon the horn of
the saddle, took his notebook in one
hand and pencil in the other, and be-
gan to write a response. Suddenly a
shell fell and exploded on the ground
close by. The horse leaped into the
air and swung wildly around.
Murat simply transferred the pencil
to the hand that held the notebook,
Gained the horse with the other hand,
and then went on writing his dispatch
as if nothing had happened. A shout
of admiration went up along the line.
.Murat saw that the enthusiasm aroused
by his trifing act had created a favor
able moment for charge. He gave
the order, and his men swept clear

Trains stopped by Grasshoppers.

l saw two freight trains at Springer
stopped by grasshoppers. The idea
that the trains are stopped by running
into piles of the grasshoppers is wrong.
They just cover the tracks, and the
passing trains kill them. The oil from
them greaseS the rails and wheels 50
that the latter slip instead of revolving,
therefore the stoppage of trains.
The hoppers get so thick sometimes
that they have to be brushed off the
tracks. Sand is also spread along the
tracks to keep them rough and prevent
the trains from slipping from grass
hopper oil. 1t is nothing remarkable
that the oil from them should stop
trains. A little grease rubbed on the
tracks or wheels of a locomotive will
have the same effect. Kansas City

What a funny animal a mole is, is it
not9 1t looks as if were always asleep
I suppose you know that the mole lives

1t makes a long burrow under the

You may frequently see these mounds
in the country fields. The mole makes
these underground passages in search
of food. 1t devours all the worms and

Many farmers believe that the mole

workns en- and Their Tools.

bad workmen," we are told, cal
ways find fault with their tools" We
might extend the significance Of the
axiom by stating that bad workmen
make bad tools We may satisfy our.
selves as to its truth by q cursory In
spection of the kit carried by a poor
mechanic. In the machine shop we
shall find our saying conspicuously ex-
empliaed. A glance at the condition
of the tools, to say nothing of the sur
roundings, will tell us whether good
artisans or second rate workmen are
employed-whether the shop turns out
good or Indifferent work.
The make of the tools has little to do
with the settlement of the question
The finest machine tools ever designed
may be ruined by ill usage, and in fact,
as a general rule, the more perfect the
machine the more susceptible it will
prove to gross i'll treatment. Moreover,
a shop full of good tools ruined by Ill
usage or neglect is a much sorrier spec
tacle, to the experienced mechanic par
ticularly, than an aggregation of second
quality implements in similar condi-
ton, and, as q general rule, poor tool
spoiled will do as good a job as the most
expensive machine that has undergone
maltreatment.
The appearance of tool will betray
the hand of the workman, no matter
how badly worn. Fair hard wear is
altogether different in its effects from
willful misuse or the neglect that is
born of ignorance. A man may wear
a tool out, and it will still have an al
together different look to one that has
been deliberately and carelessly ruined.
