The Iiouscrs of Houston.

There are SO many Housers in lIous-
ton county, Georgia, that if candi-
date can get the family to vote for
him he is generally sure of election.
One of the old residents was aske
about this recently.
well" said he, ''there are SO many
Housers in Houston that l can't keep
track of them. When one of the fam
lily runs for an Office, if he can get his
relatives to vote for him, he's all right.
There are just 742 in the county"
''All of one family?''
"All of one family, and the old
grandfather of them all is alive yet. -
In meeting new acquaintance in
Houston it is good policy to say very
nice words about the family, for you
may be addressing a nephew, a cousin,
a brother-in-law, or some kind of rela-
tive of the family. The fact of it is
that they are all well-to-do, industri-
GUS, law-abiding citizens, always
ready to hold up their end of the rope
in any enterprise. But candidates are
particular in addressing them.

Gallant Hungarian Soldiers.

There died recently in Hungary two
ladies who served in 1913 in the Revo-
lutionary army, and fought in several
of the fercest battles dressed in mill
tary uniform. One of them was sew
eral times promoted, and under the
name of Karl attained the rank of first
lieutenant OF huzzars. At this point,
however, All artillery major stopped
her military career by marrying her.
The other fought under the name of
Josef, and was decorated for valor in
the field. She married long after the
campaign. 4 Hungarian paper refer
ring to the two cases, says that about
dozen women fought in lS4s in the

ZINC IN ARCHITECTURE.
A Successful Method for Coppcr-Platlng
Metal Ornaments,

MeIak ornNmcnCSs
Copper-plating zinc for building pur-
poses has recently been tried abroad
with considerable success, the
process being especially recommended
where mechanical wear takes place.
The zinc combines very we:l with the
copper The gaivanic rnathod of cop
pcr-plating is ;,lvautageously used, bat
the :in: may also BE- coated with cop
pc: by ordinary means.
In the first pace the sheet Tin: is
cleaned with soda from any adhesiny
dirt or grease, and is also purified by
a weak acid bath from the covering of
zinc oxide. There are then dissolved
in twcnty-four parts of water one part
of refined verdigris and twelve parts
of tartar, the mixture being heated to
boiling point,after which three to four
pints of Spanish white are added.
The Spanish white, is here deco1nposed,
and is precipitated as lime tartrate.
The dark blue liquid is poured off and
filtered, and CAL be used either us a
bath for the sheet zine, or for the pro-
duction of copper-plating paste.
The first mode of action is the more
recommendatory as the fluid forces
its way into the corners and angles of
the zinc articles and is uniformly dis
tributcd all over.
If it be desired to coat an immovable
zinc object with copper, the article
after Being cleaned, is painted with
the copper solution and chalk COM
pound, and, after drying, brushed
This very simple operation would like
wise prove of value for architectural
purposes where it is desired to remedy
the generally unpleasing effect of zinc
ndornments.

Engineer McInerney Dreamed That He
Would Die.
Martin McInerney, engineer in charge
of the locomotive used in the trans
portation of supplies and material and
in hauling away the dirt at the RoN-
borough Reservoir, Philadelphia, met
with fatal accident lately while in
the performance of his duty. The
locomotive machinery was not working
satisfactorily and he stepped FROM his
cab to the foot-p'ate on the ten,ter to
make an examination. The locomotive
was going at Il lively rate, and in
rounding Il curve McIncrney lost his
between the cab and the tender.
Four trucks attached to the locomotive
passed over his body and when picked
up he was bruised and blackened
mass.
His face was cut in several places,
his arm was broken, one of his legs
was cut off and his right hip was fir ac-
tured. He was taken to st. Timothy's
Hospital, where he died.
Early in the morning McInerney in
formed one of his fellow-worlznen
that he did not expect to be another
day on earth. When asked for an eX-
PLANTATION of his strange expression he
answered that he had a premonition
that before the sun would set for the
day his life would have ended. 1t
came to him, he said, in dream, the
character of which he did not state,
and after he had told the story to his
companion melancholy look spread
over his countenance. During the
period which followed after he made
this statement until he met the acct
dent he exercised the greatest care in
attending to his duties and so remark

TWO STORIES.

A Parrot at "A Club and How 1t Remem-
bered.
in Il firSt-class club room uptown IN
New York on a stormy afternoon sat
two members of the club playing cards.
The table they were playing on was
beside q window looking into the
yard Overhead at the window where
the men were playing was Il favorite
parrot. One OF the club members was
very unfortunate at his game, and his
partner chatfed him by saying, 'Lucl1
is against you to day" which so ag-
gravatcd the looser that the glass of
water which was in front of him Ito
put in his whiskey) he took up and
fired through the cage, wetting the
parrot all over (whi.h quieted him)
saying, at the same time, There, d-n
you, take that. You are talking too
MUCH
The parrot then kept loo king out of
the window at the heavy rain-storm
and cspied a chicken coming across
the yard, and when under the shelter
of the window shook her wings. The
parrot, looking down. said to the
chicken: ella! ha! d-n you, you have
been tallsin" too much

Not Very ring,

Algy had spent a long evening with
Miss Edith. At last he arose to go.
Her handshake was not cordial enough
to suit him; in fact, it was very limp
and exhausted. He was disappointed,
for he had expected very different
parting, but in vein of pleasantly he
said:
::Oh, shake hands with man, Miss
Edith
~ should be pleased to, Mr.. Brown"
was her quiet rejoinder.
Algy has not called since.

BEAUTIFUL EYES.
Obtaine at the Expense of Health and
EyesiGht.

Obtained at the Expense of Health and
Eyesight.
Methods for identifying the eyes
have long been in vogue among women
of fashion, and not a few resort to
those which ultimately injure the
organs and the general health. Afro
pine is a most common drug for making
the eyes look large and lustrous, but
the continued use of it SO weakens and
parulyzes the muscles that weak eyes
come on carly in life.
An eminent oculist claims that the
widespread disease of weak eyes
among women is largely due to the
tampering with these organs for
making them more beautiful than
nature intended. The extremes to
which some will go in the matter is
illustrated by an English woman who
was arrested in the streets of London
for drunkenness. 1t was found later
that she was simply suffering from
the toxic effects of atropine, which she
instilled into the eyes to dilate the
pupils for more brilliant appearance
She was determined to be beautiful,
and to accomplish the purpose she ran
the risk of injuring her eyes for a life
time. A late fad among women of our
cities is to darien the under eyelids
with paint to give a more attractive
appearance to the eye. This paint is
often made up Of injurious principles,
which in time make the flesh around
the eyes Old and wrinkled. 1t becomes
cracked, and the paint becomes
essential all of the time. The simplest
method, if one will darlSen the eyes,
is to use ordinary lead pencil

were alarmed one night by low means
issuing from a closely curtaiaed
carriage that stood on the corner. A
drive" sat upon the seat. One Of the
neighbors came out and approached
the team to ask what was the matter.
Before he reached the corner the
driver caught sight of him, and.
whipping up the horses. rapidly drove
off. The folks were doubly alarmed.
and after a good deal of exiting talk
asked policeman TO call at the house
on the corner and ascertain who was
hurt or if any mystery was in the
means.
He talked with an excited woman
who came to the door and also with
man who wiped his eyes with hand
kerchief, while the neighbors stood
across the street in suspicious silence.
The officer came over the street and
told them that the old family dog, the
hero of dozens and dozens of fights
and of 20 years, had been carried off to
die by bullet. The dog evidently
understood his fate, for he began to
moan and moan as soon as they took
him from the house

TIE TABLE FORK.

Generally supposed to BE IL Conn., arative-
" Modern Invention.
1t is difficult for us to realize what
a comparatively modern invention the
table fork is, or how our ancestors
managed to get along without it.
Queen Elizabeth never heard of such
an implement, and it was many years
after her death that the first table or
dinner fork was brought to Eng
land. From passage in that curious
work, Coryate's "Crudities," it has
been imagined that its author was
the first to bring the table fork to the
British Isles. In the lines cited he
says: While in Italy l observed that
the Italian always used little forks
made of iron, steel or silver. = l
thought it good to initiate this forlsed
cutting of meat, and have since my
return been called 'furcifer only for
using my fork at feeding" Some
believe that the fork was in use all
over Europe rs early as the year 500
A. d.. bat if they were their use and
the fork itself were lost sight OF up to
about the beginning of the Seven
tcenth Century, when it was either
discovered or relisco7ered and popu-
iarized. Walton, Weems and other
edtiquarians hold to the earlier date
hlven above because stone vessel con-
tanning coins of the Middle Ages and
Seine iron forks was found at Sewing
ton, England. in the year 1881.
