"OLO NANCY"
History OF an Illicit Still Which Has Been
Operated for Thirty Years.

History OF an Illicit Still Which Has Been
Operated for Thirty Years.
The capture of an illicit still operated
near Sinking mountain by Deputy Col
lector Brown recalls story of long
continued defiance of law. The still
was bought in New Haven in 1858 and
was put to use on the plantation of
the late George Dye. When the war
opened. says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat, it passed into the hands of a
Habersham county whisky dealer. who
did rushing business for four years.
There was no railroad at the time
within one hundred miles of this sec
ton, and the liquor made by ''Old
Nancy" as the still was fondly named,
was the favorite trade not only through
northeast Georgia, but crossed the
lines into North and South Carolina.
Once the still was enlarged by the
officers Of Habersham in 1868 because
of the generalization it created among
the small boys, who, with the old men.
were about all there were left.
With the restoration of United States
authority "Old Nancy" became con-
traband. Revenue prisoners brought
before United States commissioners
would tell about how s'Old Nancy" was
prospering. but try as they would the
officers never could capture the still
When the distillers of one community
found themselves too closely pressed
they would run the still over the noun
tain or down the creeks to where COM
panions in lawlessness would secure
possession of it, and they would run it
until compelled to do likewise. This
was the still in quest of which Lieut..
Mcintyre. of the United States army,
was killed in Gilmore county in 1875.
subsequently it was run back east,
being operated on War,woman creek,
in Rabun county, for several years.
OF late the officers heard that
this will-o'-the-wisp, which they have
been following for thirty years, was in
operation In a secluded region near
Sinking mountain. Collector Brown,
with An armed posse, successfully To-
Gated the spot one night during a

of destroying the whole plant.

THE GREAT LAKES.
How the Five Inland Seas First Received
Their Names.

Their Names.
The first discoveries OF Lake Ontario
gave it the name Saint LOUIS"
another party of travellers called It
"Frontenac," after the great pioneer.
Then came the English. who preferred
to call it Ontario" or 'Katarakui."
George Washington, in his journal as
surveyor, gives it both these names.
Ontario" proved the more popular,
however. and was finally adopted.
Lake Huron was named after the
famous Indian tribe that lived upon its
borders. Hennepin in 1898 called it
"Karegnondi." In Washington's jour
nal ii is mentioned as "Qnatoghi," &C
Huron"
Lake Michigan was for many yesr1
called Lake Illinois" from the tribs
of Indians who lived near 1t. In lu3
the pioneer Sener gave it the present
name of Michigan. and this was rati-
fed by Charlevoix in l744.
Chsmplain was the first one to de-
scribe Lake Superior, and on his map
it is called Grand Lac" Later on the
Jesuit fathers called Il Tracey" or
superior" The English Sener called
IL "Nadonssions." another title for
''Sione" Late in the last century i.

DEFINITION OF A TENOR.


Von Bulow Regarded Such . Singer - a
Illness, Not . Man.
As a conductor he simply worked
marvels, even with an Indifferent or
chestra, and this is the performance he
perhaps enjoyed most: he would COM
pare his conducting to his piano forte
playing, and say at the end of q con-
cert, provided he was satisfied: This
is the finest Bechstein 1 have played
on" says the Saturday Review. Bulow
at orchestra rchearsals was almost as
interesting as Verdi, and operate per
formances1 for instance
under his baton were the rarest treats
musician could enjoy. His connec-
ton with the operate stage led him to
the.definition of tenor, which it Is dit
fcult not to repeat: Elm Tenor list klein
Mensch; es ist cine Krankheit- "a ten
or is not a man; it is an illness.) And
since an anecdote has been perpetrated
room for another might be found.
1t will be remembered how some two
or three years ago the German emperor
in the course OF a speech referred rath-
er rudely to the ''grumblers' (Norglerl
at the existing regime, and advised all
such to shake of the dust of the Water
lands soil. The speech created an I'M
usual stir in all circles, and there was
large contingent of officials and others
who took the hint and became known
forthwith as Staubabschuttler. Bulow,
who had always something to say or
write, held his tongue this time, but
at the first philharmonic concert he
conducted in Berlin as he stepped on
the platform he took out very large
handkerchief and in full view of the
audience began to dust his shoes, just
to show that he was not satisfied with
the existing state of things.
He took it also musically out of
Count Hochburg when that amiable
despot had kim turned out of the Ber-
lin opera house. 1t was at a piano
forte recital at the Singacademie,
where. by way of a prelude. Bulow
just played the first few bars of
Eigaro's aria, ''Se vuol ballare, Sig.
Contino." Bulow's sarcastic vein found
also an outlet in a composition of little
merit, but one by which he, strangely
enough. set great store, 'Humoris-
tische Quadrilie aus Motiven der Oper
Benvenuto Cellini Won Berlicz," mis-
take not easily explained in so serious
an artist and due probably to passing
influence.

81 didn't use to be.
'What can do to overcome it,
just what a woman means BY being a
little nervous she can't exactly say. She
tells you she is restless; that she can no
longer sew or read; conversation no
longer interests, or it even tronbles her;
noises startle her, and she cries for no
cause.
Such are the first small beginnings Of
nervous weakness. The world is
full of loving, patient wives
and mothers who have been called
upon to suffer intense emotional strain:
have undertaken to nurse those dear to
them through protracted illness, or have
worked beyond their physical powers.
During the many years of hard and
wonderful work, Professor Edward Z.
Phelps, Dartmouth's great professor,
had these weak, rundown" women in
mind. The study of such cases of
nervous prostration, neuralgia, rheu-
matism, dyspepsia end debility, led him
to the most marvellous discovery of the
century, Paine's Celery Compound.
Professor Phelps became convinced that

The Color nf NIlI.


We often hear, says one of our for
elgn exchanges, dAiryman boast sof
the fact that his cows give a erich
looking" milk. Hence arises the ques-
ton; docs a light color always indi-
cate Il poor milk and does q yellow
color always indicate a rich miIlx?' As
a matter of fact, color of milk. is no
safe guide to it's richness in fat con-
tents. The color of the strippings NJ nd
the first milk will answer this Dues
ton. The stripPings are usually six or
eight times richer in fat than the cor
responding first milkings, and yet both
are OF the same color. One authority
states tha 1.-THE .coloring matter in milk
rs q enitrogenous chemical compound.
and he calls it lactochrome, and saws it
is this compound that gives milk, but
ter and whey its yellow tint. The
amount of this coloring matter in the
milk is influenced by the food of the
animal as well as by it's individualitv.
That the color of milk is not a certain
index of it's fat contents is borne out bv
the white butter usually produced on
winter food. and the golden-hued June
product, though, June grass milk is not
phenomenally rich in fat-thouRh the
fat is highly colored.- Dairy
