\ Drum mer's Remedy.

One night this spring, on a train com
ing east on the Erie road, the porter of a
sleeping car aroused half dozen of the
male sleepers to ask if they had anything
with them TO cure a case of the collie. y
drummer for a city hardware house
fumbled around in his coat and finally
said:
Here's box Of soda minis which may
help him. he can use the whole box and
be hanged 70 him, for he's no business 70
have the colo"
Nothing further was heard of the case
until morning, when a strapping young
man, with far west look TO his hair,
came into the sleeper with the mint box
in his hand, and inquired for the drum
ner and said:
Took EN- al but one, and they
smashed my collie right in the eye. How
much 10 pay"
Nothing, sir. I'm only too glad to
have been Of service TO You"
When the other had gone the drum
mer opened the,box and we saw his hair
trying to climb up.
Great Scott, boys! but what do you
| think" he gasped.
What Is it,
Il gave him the wrong box, and he's
swallowed eleven bone collar buttCns!"

The First Teeth.

Is 1t necessary to give the ssme care
and attention to a childs first teeth
as it is to the second or permanent
set ? is question that should be OF
importance to all.
The same care and attention" cen
not literally be given to the first teeth
for many reasons. But very much
can and should be done. Ia the way
of prevention it should be remem,
bered that whatever impairs the gen
eral health, particularly during dem
tition, may injure the teeth: and.
conversely, loss of teeth may iDiure
the general health. Improper food
may destroy both health and teeth.
In particular we believe that the old
notion that candies and sweets are
destructive of teeth is sound. Den
tistry in the case of young children
is well worth the expense, for it is
important to keep the jaw full of
teeth till the second teeth come. The
habit Of extracting temporary teeth
is very Injurious, inasmuch as it in
duces the premature appearance of
the permanent set of teeth. which
push their way into a jaw in which
there is not room enough for Them
Babvhood.

Waste of EHerqy.

1t is held that even the very best
steam engines lose 80 per cent. OF
the heat generated in their furnaces,
and it has also been shown that 10
the incandescent electric lamp only J
per cent. of the electricity consumed
is converted into light, the rest being
lost in heat. So it is not so much
the problem of the scientists to dis.
cover new forces, perhaps, as to in.
vent some way of reducing the waste
that takes place in usage of those we
have. When perfect combustion of
fuel is accomplished, and when cleo.
tricity can be quickened into light
without the INTERPRETATION of heat,
then, if we have not reached the mil
leunium, we may look for other forces
to subiugate. So it is in our physi.
cal and mental forces; we do not
nee1 new forces SO much as a judi,
eious use of those We possess.

HIDING INA CLOCK.
How CaptaIn cohh Avoided ,rrO.,

~" N"Pthih Nuhu Avoided Arrest.
Captain w H. Cobb, attorney at
law, late resident of Gainesville and
captain Of the Piedmont rifles, is now
resident Of the distain west.
That is, if he has stopped running
long enough to be considered resi-,
dent. The cause of Captain Cobb's
fight may be briefly stated as fol-
lows;
High living, reckless extravaganza,
cheating and swindling on a large
scale. Cobb has been representing
several loan companies, and when he
received an application for loan
he would manufacture his abstract
double the sizeof the valuation of
the property andot the farmers appIi<
cations and mortgages and pocket the
difference.
lis modus operandi was made puh-
lie in Gainesville last October, and
almost everybody withdrew all asso,
citation with him and stood aloof
awaiting official action by the courts.
Several Of the members Of the Pied.
mont Rifles demanded his resignation
as their captain and made it so hot
for him that he sent in his resigna-
ton. but for some inexplicable reason
I it was not accepted and he was
requested to continue on as their
leader.
At last the crisis came, and the taI-
mers who had been swindled, failing
to obtain settlements, swore out war,
rants charging Cobb with cheating
and swindling.
He get wind OF the proceedings
through some OF his old friends and
secreted himself inside the town
clock in the steeple of the courthouse
until night fell, and then obtaining a
little ready cash from his old friends
who dreaded to see him 90 to the
/ penitentiary, he took to the woods
and Travelled on foot the first
few miles, and then, obtained a
uuggy and drove bevend Dahlongs
and ther, obtaining a fresh horse,
went on towards the Tennessee line.
His purpose was to try and reach the
Indian Territory itpossible.
Captain Cobb wrote out his res,
i2nation lis captain OF the Piedmont
Rifles the second time while roosiing
in the court house loft.
This time it was accepted.
Cobb is single man, about thirty
one Yeas Of age, and was quite
popular with the young ladies until
his exposure six months or so ago.
Since that time he had been for
the most part blacFballed.
The superior court is filling up
with litigation, caused by Cobb's
illegal proceedings, and either the
loan companies or the farmers viii
lose several thousand dollars. but Tor
the present it is doubtful which will
| loose.
