MARIETTA GA,
THURSDAY MORNING. IAN. rs, 1894
THE TASTY XGRD.

To think before you speak is so
wise an axiom that one would hard
ly think it nee1ful to emphasize it
by repetition. And yet IN how
many cases the hasty temper flashes
out in the hasty word, and the latter
does its work with the precision and
the pain Of the swift stiletto. Singu-
larly enough, the hasty word often
est wounds those who love one
another dearly, and the very close
ness of their intimacy affords them
opportunity for the sudden thrust.
We know the weak points in the
armor OF his caprices, and ordinarily
are tender and compassionate even
OF his vanities and his small fancies
and whilns; but there dawns a day
when 1t Is written In the book of fate
we shall be as we are loving.
We are cold, or tired, or hungry.
We are anxious over unpaid bills, or
our expected letters have not arrived,
or one of the children is ailing and
we dread the outcome OF the malady.
So politeness fails US, fortitude is
vanquished, philosophy is in abey-
ance, and We say that which we re-
pent in sackcloth and ashes. But
though the hasty word may be for
given, it is not at once forgotten. 1t
has fawed the crystal of friendship
the place may be cemented, but
there is a shadowy tear on the
cleaning surface. Oh, if the word
OF haste had but been left unspoken;
if the strong hand Of patience had
but held back the sword as it was
about to strike !-Harper's Bazaar.

Coal Formations.

The opinion is now quite general
among biologists that bituminous
and anthracite Goals were formed
during the same period and under
like conditions; that, though origi-
nally all bituminous, during the VIC
lent contortions and upheavals of the
earth's crust at the close of the car
boniferous age the bituminous Goals
involved in that disturbance were
changed by heat and pressure and
the consequent expulsion of volatile
matter from bituminous and anthra-
cite. The microscope reveals the
vegetable nature of the substance
and in some beds of camel coal
whole trees have been found with
roots, branches, leaves and seeds
complete and all converted into the
same quality of coal as that by
which they were surrounded. Struc-
turally there is under every seam a
stratum of what is known as fire
clay, and this stratum contains in
great abundance the fossil impress
sions of roots and stems and twigs.
showing that it was once the soil
whore vegetation grew luxuriantly.
1t Is common also to find fossil tree
stems lying mashed fiat between the
layers Of black slate which form the
roof of coal mines, as well as the i'm
preston of leaves, nuts and seeds
from living trees.-New York Sun.

National Airs.

1t is a strange thing that the ma
tional airs of great countries are
short, while those of little countries
are very long. For instance, God
Save the Queen" is IA bars, the Rus
sian hymn 16 bars, and Hail, Column
bia, the foremost among the Ameri-
can airs, has 28 bars. On the other
hand, Slams national hymn has 76
bars, that of Uruguay 70, ChiI's 46,
and SO on. San Marine, the smallest
republic in the world, has the long
est national hymn. The national
hymn of China is SO long that, when
people want to hear it, they have
to take half day off to be able to
listen to its strains. -London Million.

Expensive Wall Covering.

Register Gates of the land Office
tells story of the most expensive
wall paper he ever heard of. 1t was
in a.house in College street, Jackson,
Tenn. One of the rooms was papered
with land grants belonging to one of
the volumes of the land grant Office
for western Tennessee. These papers
had been lost since the war and repre-
sented more than 81, 0OO 900 in value.
These papers were carefully detached
and preserved for future reference. -

Pictures of Life In Old Ecvnt.

Among the most interesting of the
photographs and drawings of the
paintings and sculptures in the rock
tombs of El-Kal, or Nekheb, as ii
was formerly called, are those which
illustrate the daily life of the ancient
Egyptians 8, 900 B. G. and later. There
you can see men hunting and fishing,
making wine, harvesting corn, plow-
ing and h0eing, cooking and SO on.
There are representations of funerals
and merry makings, with dancing
girls and musicians, boating on the
Nile, etc. AT least one picture shows
that, contrary to the common belief,
the Egyptians had some knowledge
of perspective. London Globe.

Two Glasses of NumskuIIs.

There are two classes of men about
whom the public are actually tired
of reading One is the man who
didn't know it was loaded The other
is the man who buys gold bricks. A
case of the first sort has just occurred
in one of the suburbs of New York
city. Two young men were talking
together at noon in the planning mill
in which they worked. One of them
found an old revolver and fourished
it. He didn't know it was loaded, of
course. But the next moment his
companion was dead. An instance
of the gold brick idiocy occurred at
Lyons, Ia, where wealthy farmer
laid out $1,000 for a brick worth
$4,000, and is, it goes without say
ing, out his $4,000. How men who
live in this age can make such blum
ders passes comprehension. We adj
wise them to subscribe for newspa-
per and by close application to its
columns save themselves the trouble

The South W1ndhfngt0n Bridge Assoc
citation Gallon the Commissioners.
The Commissioners this morning gave a
hearing to the members Of the South WASH
ingtcn Bridge Association. which is urging
the construction of a bridge across the
Eastern branch; either at the foot Of South
Capitol street or at some point adjacent
thereto. There was a large attendance Of
the association and the reception they re-
ceived at the hands of the Commissioners
was Of the most satisfactory sort.
Brief addresses were made by H. H.
Blackburn. chairman Of the executive COM
mittee Of the association; Col. A. d. Ander-
son and Simon Wolf, in which they ex-
planned the status of the matter as it now
is. A Dill appropriating 5000 for survey
to determine the advisability Of such a
pridge and to choose a site for 1t has al
ready passed the Senate and will probably
come up in the House next December. The
bill has been favorably reported on by the
War Department and the Navy Department
and legislation favorable to the bridge has
been adopted in Maryland. All that the
association asked today was that the Com
mlssloners would speak good word for
the project In their next report and would
report favorably upon 1t when the bridge
Dill should be referred to them. Similar
action had been taken by previous boards
and the association simply wanted to go
before Congress with the backing and sup
port of the present board
The hearing today was not protracted
one, for Commissioner Truesdell assured
the members of the association that they
had no question as to the desirability of a
bridge at this point and that the movement
would always receive his heartiest support,
as 1t would the support of his colleagues.
He thought that there was no need for a
report from them on the bill for the sur
vey, but when the matter of the bridge
itself came up he could assure them that
the Commissioners would be a unit in its
favor
