Prudence.
four quarts

When dearly beloved aunt left my
brother Tom and l $4,000 apiece, he
rushed to the nearest bank to deposit
his cash. fully realized the prudence
of the step, but first sought out the
president of the institution and in
quired:
"My dear sir, would it be deemed i'm
pertinent in me to ask if your cashier
has ever presented you with a photo
graph Of himselfY'
HE never has"
"Is henot man who habitually wears
full beard and mustache and pair Of
eyeglasses?'
''The same, sir"
'"Then 1 will not deposit my $4,000.
Thank you"
Four weeks later the cashier packed
the Doodle and skipped. No photograph
for the police. When he came to shave
clean and remove his glasses, he passed
his own mother on the street and she
did not know him. Ny brother Tom has
no SO. 900 now.-Detroit Free Press.

An Immortal Worth.

The pyrotechnic young German en-
peror, when not engaged in dynamic po-
litical surprises, turns to the lighter graces
of life with equal impetuosity and rushes
in where angels might well fear to tread,
even to the hazardous undertaking of de-
signing costumes for his wife. Now, the
Young Kaiserin Augusta is an eminently
worthy woman, but she is not as slight
in figure as ii the old days before she
wore the empress coronet and counted
five or six kaisers among her sons, and
every woman whose husband takes it
upon himself to direct the affairs Of the
wardrobe will know how to sympathize
with this wife Of the Prussian king.-Ex-

Rave YOUR LUNGS CUT?
Doctors Nowadays Think Nothing of Such
| Little Job.

a Little Job.
From the New York Press.
You may have your lungs tapped now,
if You wish, and still live. Not as a mat
ter of amusement, There is no fun in it
hatever. But if you get what the doc
tors call hydrothorax, pyopneumothorax
pneumonia assesses and growths of
sarcomatous and hydatid character, it's
about the only way you will get off alive.
Five years ago, if you had been stricken
by any of these diseases, there would
have been no hope for you. To-day the
chances are three in five that you would
get well again, and that you would be
able to breathe quite as easily as some
fellow whose organs of breathing had
never been exposed to the daylight
A pneumonia abscess results from
pleuro- pneumonia, which is disease of
the covering of the lungs and the lining
of the lung cavity in the chest. Pus &C
cumulates in this cavity, and as it is not
accessible to any medicine taken inter-
ternally, it has always proven fatal
unless it dissipated itself through the
system, as it has done sometimes in mild
cases. Up to very recently physicians
had decried any attempt to cut through
to the lungs from the outside, believing
that opening the lungs to the air would
prove fatal, supposition which has been
lately proven to be fallacious. The in
cision is made from under the arm, on
the side of the body affected and if you
submit to the operation you will proba-
bly, lose a piece of one OF your ribs,
which the doctors say you will never
Mss, although sometimes larger incis
ion made, and it is possible to reach the
lung through the opening between the
ribs. In most cases the opening between
the ribs is not large enough for the pur-
pose. frequently the ribs are sprung
apart, and tissues which had adhered to
them, when it should not have done so,
is separated from them and both the
tissues and the ribs fall back into their
natural plac s. This part of the opera
ton is called bronchotomy, and is still
in it's infancy, enthusiasts in its favor
say, for they hope in time to see it sue
coed in removing particles from the air
passage where tracheotomy has failed.
Many believe that the life of the Rev.
DR.. Boutwell,, of Brooklyn, who died be-
cause a cork was accidentally swallowed
and lodged in one of his bronchial tubes,
could have been saved by bronchotomy.
After the incison is made and the
diseased portion is reached the pus is
drawn off by means of small rubber
tube, and sometimes amounts to three or
four quarts.

An Easy Place to Get in jain.

Mr.. Josiah Carter, late of the Atlanta
Evening Herald, but now on the New
York Recorder, is writing some interest
ing letters to the Atlanta Journal from
the great metropolis. Recently he wrote
about crime and criminals, etc., IN New
York, and said: "By the way, it is funny
the. way they arrest people here. If man
attempts suicide he is promptly arrested
and sent up for a term on the island.
The other day a fellow fell into the river.
They run him in A day or two ago a
man stood on the street giving dollar
bills to street arabs. He was arrested
and fined So. 1t is the easiest place that
I ever saw for a man to get into Jail, and

in the open air."

WOMAN.
From the New York Recorder.

From the New York Recorder.
Once upon a time there lived a wo-
man, and the woman was lonely, so she
cried to the gods: ooh, am very lone
ly. Give me some one to comfort me- :"
And the gods heard, and were sorry for
the woman. And they took a beautiful
human soul, perfect in every part, and
clothed it in the garments of man, and
brought it to the woman.
When the woman heard them coming
she was very glad, for she said: "NOw l
shall no longer be lonely
Now there will be one to keep me COM
pany." But when she saw the soul she
gave a great cry and fell down as one
dead. And when she had little re-
covered she shrieked: ooh, take it
away! l cannot bearit! 1t wears an
old-fashioned coat, and behold, I see a
spot of grease upon it,"
Then the gods were wroth with the
woman, and took the soul away, and
left her lonely. SO the woman sat and
lamented.
Time passed.
80, We godsr' cried the woman, once
again, 81 am very lonely. Give me some
one to comfort me-"
Then the gods had compassion on the
woman, and they took block of wood
and carved out of it a beautiful human
form, and dressed it in the latest fash
ion, and gave 1t an eyeglass and flow
er for it's buttonhole, and brought it to
the woman.
When the woman saw it she rejoiced
greatly, and she opened her arms and
took it, and kissed it, and fondled it, and
was comforted. And the woman called
the figure a man, and she thought i!
was alive.

A WOMAN KNIGHT.
How Her Sex Was Discovered During the
Work of the Third Rank.

How Her Sex Was Discovered During the
Work of the Third Rank.
A woman in Bay City, Mich, DISCUS
ed herself as man and clerked in a
store for a year, and then applied for
membership in the Knights of Pythias
and was initiated. During the work Of
the third rank her sex was discovered.
1t seems in the third rank they have an
india-rubber rat and celluloid snake,
which run by clock work inside, and
which seem very natural indeed. The
idea is to let them run at candidate to
,tsee if he will finch. When the snake
ran at the girl she kept her nerve all
right, but when the a tried to run up
her trousers legs she grabbed imaginary
skirts in both hands and jumped into
the refrigerator that was standing near
(which is used in the work of the fourth
degree,) and screamed bloody murder.
The girl is memb Der of the lodge and
there's no help flor it. This .may lopen
the eyes of the members of secret socie-
ties and cause shem to investigate. One
lodge there, we understand, takes pre-
caution against the admission of a
woman by carefully examining the feet
of an applicant. # the feet are cold
enough to freeze ice cream then the can
,didate is blackballed

The Engineer,s Whistle.

From the Albany Herald.
Did you ever hear the engineer-his
name is unknown to us-on the Column
bus Southern railroad, blow his whistle
just before he reaches the city. His
locomotive sports shrill, piping whistle
and he jerks the string in such manner
as to inmate an owl, whippoOr-will, or
anything else you can think of. No one
can hear his whistle without laughing,
and the Herald will wager that this engi-
neer is one of the jolliest, cleverest men
in the employ of the Columbus Southern
railroad.

". Il. PARKINS DEAD.
THE WELL-KNOwN ARCHITECT DIES
AT HIS HOME

In Calhoun County--H e Drew the Plans for
TerreIPs Handsome Court House,
The people OF Dawson were surprised
to learn of the death of Mr.. W. II. Park
ms, which sad event occurred one day
last week.
He died at his plantation near Dickey,
in Calhoun county, after lingering
illness.
Mr.. Parkins, who was one of the best
known architects in the south, was we'll
known in Dawson, having executed the
plans for the Terrell C UNITY court house,
which stands as lasting monument to
his ability and skill in his profession.
Mr.. Parkins was of northern birth, but
had been a citizen of the south ever since
the war. He settled in Atlanta and was
a prominent factor in the upbuilding OF
that city. He did much in those early
days in rebuilding thas city after it had
been burned by Sherman's army.
He was connected with every work OF
magnitude at that time. Among those
that can now be recalled are the old Kim
ball house, the governors mansion, Trim
ity M. E. church, Peachtree M. E.
church, the Catholic church and a host
of business buildings and private resi-
-dences throughout the city.
In January, 1882, he retired from &C
tive business and removed to his planta-
ton in Calhoun county.
When the old K'mball house burned
he very promptly offered his services in
the work of building the new structure
and was connected with this work in the
capacity of supervising architect.
The remains of Mr.. Parkins were sent
It , Atlanta for burial.
His death is universally regretted in
Dawson and Terrell county.
