An Orators Bashfal Beginning

During the Indian war of '36, while
volunteer companies were being formed
in different counties of the State, com
pany was organized IN Hancock County,
Captain G.. w. Brown commanding. On
their departure for the seat of war the
citizens of Sparta decided to give them
an ovation. Orators we're scarce, and
after searching the town over for a
speaker it was suggested that there was
a young lawyer there who had never
made a speech, but who might be per
suaded to try his luck on that occasion.
The young lawyer was quickly seen, and
consented to say few words by way OF
encouragement to the Hancock Blues on
their departure on so patriotic mission.
The speech was the talk of the town for
several days. The speaker was Alexan-
der H. Stephens. Atlanta Constitution.

What to DO in Case of Accident.

Professor Wilder, of Cornell Uni
versity, gives the following short rules
for action in case of accident, which will
be found useful to preserve or remem-
Der:
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing;
dash water into them; remove cinders,
etc., with the round point of lead pen
Gil.
Remove matter from the ear with
tepid water; never put hard instrument
into the ear.
If an artery is cut compress above the
wound; if vein is cut compress below.
If choked get upon all fours and
cough.
For slight burns dip the part in cold
water; If the skin is destroyed cover
with varnish.
Smother fire with carpets, etc. water
will often spread burning oil and in
crease danger. Before passing through
smoke take a full breath, aud then
stoop low; but if carbonic acid gas is sus-
pected walk erect.
Suck poisoned wounds, unless your
mouth is sore; enlarge the wound, or,
better, cut out the part without delay;
hold the wounded part as long as can be
borne to hot coal or end of cigar.
In case of poisoning excite vomiting
by tickling the throat or by warm water
aud mustard.
II in water, float en- the back, with the
nose aud mouth projecting.
For apoplexy raise the head aud body;
for fainting lay the person fiat. New

Early Hours in Austrian Towns.

There is a popularity which Vienna
shares in common with all Austrian
towns. At 10 o'clock the streets are de
serted. Scarcely will you meet Que soli-
tary soul. A law authorizes the portiere
or concierge to levy tax of ten kreutz-
ers, called the Spergold, on any person
leaving or entering the house after that
hour Thus this Spergold obliges you,
when you are invited to a party, to pay
ten kreutzers on leaving your own apart
meat, ten more for yourself and your.
servant on entering your hosts house,
the same when you leave it, aud the
same on re-entering your own. Thus
the theatre and opera begin early, and
the performance is timed to end at
quarter before ten. IL it lasts longer
nearly the whole audience rises aud

LOVE STRONG AS DEATH.

LOVE STRONG AS DEATH.
Nay, say not, Sweet that Love has turned
away
Because one day
He gathered alien flowers while il was May, I,
For Love is Love, and cannot go that way.
Tho little loves there be that dance and
sing,
And kiss and cling,
And praise the light and laughter of the
Spring,
But OH dark days, like birds, forbear to
sing.
Shall Love that bore the blast and did not
fail
Now cover and quail
Strong Love that blanched not then, to-day
turn pale?
Nay, Love is Love. my own, and cannot
fail.
Oh, could Love cease, or change, or pass

Then the souls day
Would turn to night, unlit by any ray;
But Love, Sweetheart, can never pass away

The New York Sun says: Some of
the members of the Foreign Legations at
Washington who are we'll known in the
New York clubs are sufferers by the uu-
fortunate names which they have inner.

for example, has had to listen to so much
play upon his name since his namesake
became fashionable malady, that it is a
wonder he survives it. Mr., Ho, of the
Chinese Legation, furnishes much mild
amusement in social circles because it can
be said with safety thai he is not a rake

name so twisted in the mouths of menials

that he probably looks upon Americans

According to the New York Truth, the
outcome OF the experiment now being
tried by NJ. Gilbert Tompkins at his
Southern farm, near Sau Leaudro, CAL,
will, In all probability, be complete
revolution in the accepted method of
training horses for speed. The system
the idea is not absolutely new, but has
never before been applied on C. large
scale-consists in training horses in the
water, making them swim in tanks of
tepid salt water instead of the constant
track work that has lamed so many
promising animals. The swimming re.
duces flesh rapidly aud strengthens the
muscles and improves the wind as much
as ten times tho same time spent on the
track, aud very little supplementary
track work puts the horse in condition
to make record. Should this system
prove all that it now seems to be, Mr..
Tompkins will have done much to further
the improvement of horse flesh.

Have Variety in Your Food.

There is q source of i'll health in many
rural homes which certainly should not
exist. The cause here referred to is lack
of variety of food. 1t may sound strange
to some to hear such cause of i'll health
is existing on our American farms, but
such is actually the case. 1t is true that
really good vegetable and fruit gardens
are lacking at great part of our rural
homes. There may be few vegetables
growing in the garden at the height of
the season, but such a thing as an effort
to have fresh vegetables in abundance
nine months in the year is almost un.
known on a Northern farm, and the
same is true in reference to fruits. While
it is possible to have fruit on the table
every day in the year grown on a farm
in the North, there is not one farm in
ten thousand so supplied. Vegetables
and fruits take tue place OF medicines in
maintaining health and vigor of the
body. Indeed, it is doubtful if people
supplied with an abundance of fresh
vegetables and ripe fruit have much need
of medicine or medical aid. More aud
more attention to this matter is needed.
