The "Southern Star" of Atlanta,
Georgia, says that $, 200 q day is spent
for Intoxicating liquors in the city, also
that one hundred per cent. more pau
pers were buried by the city during
the last two years of high license than
during the previous two years of pro
hibitiOn.
It is a significant fact that the eco
nomic value of abstinence from intoXi-
cants is coming to he more and more
generally recognized by the employers
of labor. 1t is announced that the en-
ployees of the Florence Iron Works,
near Bordentown, N. j., were recently
notified that unless hereafter they to-
tally abstain from the use of intoXicat.
ing liquors they will he discharged.
The slot machine has been put to

The weather prophets who pre-
dicted heavy storms in June seem to
have been justified by events. Profes-
sor Foster, of Washington, asserts
that the greatest storm period since
1882 has now set in, but its elimination
is not expected until next winter.
The causes of this disturbance says he,
will be the equinox of Jupiter III Jan
uary, which will he accompanied by
great electrical agitation throughout
the solar system.
One who has kept record says that
in the last two years two thousand and
nine wives have died of brutal treat
ment committed by husbands while un.
der the influence of liquor. If choler;
had killed as many in the same time
what a call would have gone up for re-
pressiye measures.

Theatres.

From the day on which theaters
were re-opened on the ascention of
Charles I [ they became seminaries OF
vice and the evil propagated itself.
The protligacy of the representations
soon drove away sober people. The
frivolous and dissolute, who remained,
required every year stronger stimu-
lants. Thus the artist corrupted the
spectators; and the spectators the artist.

Nature A. = souther. Boomer.

For the second time this winter q
furious blizzard of snow has locked in
it's icy letters the industry, com merce
and transportation of the North and
West, from New York to the Dako-
tas.
1t is a familiar story. Travel is
blocked, traffic is paralyzed, the cleo
trio lights are out, and at night large
cities are in total darkness.
For months during every year Ma
ture directs her most destructive
forces against the northern belt of
the union--a territory whose massed
capital and combined corporations
control the industry and trade of the
country, and compel it's products to
pass through inconvenient ocean
outlets to Europe. s5..g
At a time when the South clamors
for direct trade with Europe this
blizzard emphasizes our demand.
Perhaps We need no glib tongued rep
resentative to present and argue our
claims. Nature is powerful boomer
when she takes an active hand in
anything, and this winter she has
been calling attention in the most
pointed way to the advantages OF
the South. L. will not be long before
the business interests of the country
will recognize the fact that it is bad
economy to ignore the great trans
portation systems and perfect har-
bors of the South, far below the snow
line. beyond the reach of billiards.,
and never INSTRUCTED during any
month in the Year.-Atlantn Consti-

Artificial Rubies.

About three years ago two French
chemists succeeded in producing rubies
artif1cially. The crystals obtained,
however, were small. and since then
the inventors have been occupied with
the problem of increasing the size OF
the rubies obtained. To this end con-
siderable changes have been made in
their methods of operating. Instead
of using pure alunina, as formerly.
alumina alkalinized by potassium car
Donate is employed. This addition OF
an alkali does not alter the purity Of
the crystals obtairca. while it facili
tates their regular formation.
In the original experiments the op-
GRAFTON was completed in twenty-four
hours, but the reaction is now extended
over several months, with the result of
obtaining much larger crystals As
much as seven pound weight of rubies
is said to have been obtained at single
operation. Although the crystals are
still relatively small, they are sufficient
ly large to mount. which was not the
case in the first essays of the inventors.

Language is the dress of thought, and
as the noblest mien or most graceful
action would be degraded and OBJ
scured by garb appropriated to the
gross employment of rustics or nechan-
les, SO the most heroic sentiments will
lose their efficacy and the most splendid
ideas drop their magnificence If they
are conveyed by words used commonly
upon low and trivial occasions, debased
by vulgar mouths and contaminated
by inelegant applications. Samuel

1t is safe to say that in almost any CON-

are not two who can write correctly

A Mouse Walks the Tight Rope.

A Mouse Walks the Tight Rope.
An amusing incident was witnessed
on st. Paul, Fayette and Charles streets.
in which small mouse figured as
high wire performer, attracting the at
tention of a large number of spectators
of both sexes. When the mouse was first
seen he was on u telephone pole at st.
Paul street and Bank lane, and is sup
posed to have come from one of the
telephone conduits, which are infested
with mice From the pole the little
rodent walked deliberately along one
of the telephone wires and up St. Paul
street to Fayette street.
Here he was seen by two sparrows,
who Immediately showed fight. prob
ably because they thought the wires
the exclusive property of their tribe
and resented the intrusion. The spar
rows would swoop down as near as
they dared, giving vent to their pecul-
lar, shriIl notes of anger. but as the
mouse also showed fight they we're a
little afraid of making too close an ac-
quaintance. The two sparrows were
soon joined by others, and if their cries
had been of any avail would have
come off victorious. AS it was, the
mouse Travelled on up Fayette street to
Charles street and finally escaped.
