SAVANNAH, TENNESSEE, THURSDAY FEBRUARY
TWO VIEWS.

Said the cynic to the poet:
GAN your song Is lying verse
When you take the world and show II
Always better-never worse!
Life is but cloak OF sorrows,
holding down its somber side
Close upon the bright to-morrows
That the future has denied.
Fondest wishes, II We gain them,
Greet us with smile and tear;
Dear desires, II we attain them,
Lose their luster MS theY near.
You who sing in happy measure
Aye of light and love and pleasure,
Better keep your fancies furled;
There is such strain OF sadness
Under all the seeming gladness
In the worldw
To the cynic said the poet
"Sorrow can not be denied;
You who hate the world, and know 1t
Only on its darker side,
Life is but q garment trouble
Is the stormy wind that blows
All the fabric backward double,
And the cleaning lining shows!
Though this life hath sorrow in IT,
'Tis garden gay with flowers,
They may wear rose who win 1t,
In this fair bright world of ours.
II q Joy come to thee-sharc IL,
Take thy cloak, and nobly.wear 1t;
Keep thy bitter fancies furled.
There is such wealth of gladness
Over all the seeming sadness
In the world"

To Obviate Trolley Poles.

If the invention Of DR.. Bates, of this
city, stands the test Of experiment the
entire electric railway system of over
head wires and poles will soon be super
seeded by a simple conduit bolted to the
center Of the track. Some such inven-
ton is greatly needed. The overhead
maze Of wires is a constant source Of de-
lay and danger. The place for all cleo
trio wires, whether for railways, tele-
graphs or telephones, is underground,
or properly insulated and protected in
conduits, as proposed by DR.. Bates.
The main difficulty to be apprehended
with the new invention is with snow and
ice in winter. The slot which admits
the trolley arm from the car into the
conduit is protected from rain and dust
by a steel strip which acts with a spring.
Ii this strip and spring can protect the
slot alike from rain and dust in summer,
and from snow and ice in winter, the in
vention may prove to be one of the most
important in years. President Lowry
deems the invention to possess consider
able merit, and will undoubtedly give it
thorough trial.-Minneapolis Tribune.

The Ice Cure.

About two years ago a contributor to
The North American Review called at
tention to the hygienic value of refriger-
alton, and predicted that climatic fevers
would yet be cured in ice cooled hospi-
tails. That prediction seems to have been
verified by al actual experiment. Ha-
vana papers publish circumstantial re-
ports from Santiago de Cuba where a
Spanish physician is treating, and in
variably curing, yellow fever patients in
a camera polar (polar chamber), i. e., in
a sanitarium reduced by means of ice
to a temperature nearly 40 dogs. below
the average of the outdoor atmosphere.
The result appears plausible enough, and
the only puzzle seems why Yankee en-
terprise has not long ago acted upon the
hint that the first night frosts put a stop to
the malarial disorders Of our gulf states.

New Sugar Process.

1t is claimed that a new process has
recently been made il the manufacture
of sorghum sugar by which gum sub
stances may be eliminated from the sac
charine matter, and which Will make
the cane yield from fifty to seventy
pounds mere sugar to the ton than it
has been doing. Professor Wiley, who
has been experimenting in this, says that
sorghum sugar will bring about three
cents a pound and possibly four cents.
This will give the farmer more for his
product than anything else he can pro-
duce, and still leave a good profit to the
manufacturer.-New York Journal.

"A Terrible ADDetits.


prominent Physician Of Louisville
claims to have i case which is unique in
the history Of medicine, and is that Of q
child OF SIX years old which has devel-
oped an appetite for her own blood. The
child Is that of respectable parents, who
are exceedingly sensitive on the subject
Of the little ones unheard of character
lstlcs, and their reluctance to have the
matter made public has prevented the
doctor reporting the case for the benefit
OF the profession. He has, however,
taken into consultation a famous Eng
hsh physician, who agrees with him in
pronouncing the case unparalleled.
The child is an intelligent little girl,
OF a gentle disposition and apparently
quite healthy. When asked why she
wants to suck her blood. she declares
she IS thirsty for it and cannot help do
ing 1t. Her singular appetite is Of only
about six weeks duration, and was first
noticed by her mother finding her one
morning bathed in blood, with a wound
torn in her forearm.
Surprising a rat had bitten her the
doctor was summoned, who, questioning
the child, was Mortified to hear her
frankly state she had inflicted the wound
herself. She has repeated the act some
half a dozen times since at irregular in
t~ervals, and narrowly escaped bleeding to
death on one or two occasions. She has
been severely punished for the act, but
to no avail. Her parents declare that
there is nothing in the family history to
explain the thing. 1t is thought the
child will outgrow the morbid appetite.

Els Hair Quickly BIeached in a Cavern.

William Gormly is a farmer in Hick-
DRY township. He has been making a
tunnel in the side Of the hill to a spring
for the purpose of carrying water to a
field below. John Grimes was employed
to dig the tunnel.
When he had proceeded about thirty
feet into the hill, and was about twenty
feet from the surface, he found himself
in a cavelike hollow, the roof of which
was rock, in which there was a crack
from which he could see light. When
he reached the hollow, or cave, the hill
apparently sank in where he had been
digging, and he found himself a prisoner
twenty feet under ground. He called
for help, and later Mr.. Gor1nly procured
assistance, and, after working all night,
released him, after being in the hole
eighteen hours.
Mr.. Grimes hair was jet black when
he entered the tunnel, but it turned
snow white during the time he was i'm
prisoned.-Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.
