Are Upholsterers.
Mr.. Oscanyan. in his book. 'The Sui
tan and His People," says that Turk
ish physician was called to visit a man
who was very ill Of typhus fever. The
doctor considered the case hopeless, but
prescribed for the patient and took his
leave. The next day, in passing by, he
inquired of servant at the door if his
master was dead.
''Dead!' was the reply; mo, he is
much better"
The doctor FASTENED upstairs to OBJ
tain the solution of the miracle.
''Why," said the convalescent, 81 was
consumed with thirst, and I drank q
pailful of the juice of picked cabbage"
"Wonderful" quoth the doctor; and
out came the tablets, on which he made
this inscription: Cured Of typhus
fever, Mehemed Agha, an upholsterer,
py drinking pailful of picked cab
bage juice"
Soon after the doctor was called to
another patient, yaghlikgee, or dealer
in embroidered handkerchiefs, who was
suffering from the same malady. He
forthwith prescribed "a pailful OF
piclsled cabbage juice" On calling the
next day to congratulate his patient OF
his recovery, he was astonished to be
told that the man was dead. In his be.
wilderment at these phenomena, he
came to the safe conclusion, and duly
noted it in his memoranda. that cal
though in cases of typhus fever picked
cabbage juice is an efficient remedy, il
is not to be used unless the patient b.
by profession an upholsterer."

world is that of London. 1t is located
in the general postoffice building and is
not accessible to the general public. It
contains more than three thousand OPP
orators and its batteries are supplied by
plant of thirty thousand cells. This
Office does more business than any
Office in the United States. II dis
patches its business much quicker and
more quietly than our offices do. and its
main operating-room is not half SO
noisy as the main Office of the Western

these three thousand operators about
one thousand are women. They have q

work with American Morse instru-

In q Pound Of Tea.

"A man who argues that one pound Of
tea makes four hundred small or three
hundred ordinary-sized cups states his
case as follows: Tea testers ordinarily
use a silver fve-cent piece for weighing
the exact quantity required for a cup.
As there are about twenty-five five-cent
pieces to an ounce, and as there are
sixteen ounces to q pound, it follows
that one pound Of tea will actually
make four hundred cups, according to
the standard of strength ordinarily re.
quired by professional testers. The
cups used for this purpose contain.
however, onc-fourth less than the aver.
age domestic teacups. 1t will, there
fore, be seen that after making due
allowance for the difference in the size
of the cups the number will be very
close to three hundred.

HS A pretty married woman living
near Americus, Ga, owns cow that
she thinks the world of. She milks
the cow herself, as she does not want
her spoiled by endless attention.
Since the crops have been gathered
the cow has been running in the fields,
and the brush of her tail got filled
with cookie burrs. One morning last
week the lady went into the pen to
milk, and while she was performing
the duty, the cow switched her tail in
to the neatly doneup hair on the lady's
head. The burrs caught, and the
lady dropped her pan of milk and be-
gan to disentangle her hair. The ope-
ration disturbed the cow and she began
to prance. The lady grabbed the cows
tail, and said, $50, wench so, wench !"
but the wench not liking the grip,
started in a trot around the pen. The
lady startled the household by her
shrieks, and Negro woman ran to
her rescue, but had to return to the
house for pair of scissors. The cow
was driven into stall, her tail trim
med off and left sticking to the lady's
head. She went into the house and it
took her husband, the Negro wo-
man and the family until 10 o'clock
that night to pick the burrs from her
head.

These
Are My
Specialties 4!

It hurts your feelings, and also
your feet, to buy pair of Shoes
that doesn't and wasn't made to
fit or wear, (just made to sell.)
My stock of Shoes, and tits enor-
nous, has been selected with an
eye to the wearing and fitting
qualities of every pair. l have
Shoes in every style and size
imaginable, and the highest testi-
lnonial as to my low prices is that
within the past two weeks there
have been hundreds of people
who have priced Shoes elsewhere
and then come to my store and
bought their Shoes.
In this day of rapid advance
ment the manufacturers of high
grade Readymade Clothing are as
careful about selecting their hne
goods, the cut, the style, the fin
ish, as any make-to-order tailor,
until today the buyer Of Ready
made Clothing is dressed as we'll
as his tailor-made brother and at
about one-half the expense. My
stock of Readymade Clothing is
very large and has been selected
so as to meet the requirements OF
all classes of people, the rich and
the poor. My prices are so low
as to make Inc sell more Clothing
than any two establishments in
this section. Isn't that proof
enough for you?
About fine Dress Goods, will
just make this request If you
haven't seen my Dress Goods,
ask your neighbor about them
who has; and if you have seen
them, tell your neighbor who
hasn't seen them. Here are a

WHAT'S In A NAME.

Just after the battle of Perryville,
says the Troy Times, in October, 1862,
DR.. Savage, Union man, was at one
of his appointments to baptize some
children. There was a large crowd,
and Southern matron brought her
four children to the altar.
"Name that child" said the Union
preacher, laying his hand on the
child's head.
"Simon Bolivar Buckner," was the
reply, which caused a smile to run
over the congregation, but the brave
preacher went on with his duty.
"Name that child" taking the next
in order.
"Pierre Gustav Toutant Beaure-
gard !" and the smile grew into a
snicker, while DR.. Savage grew red in
the face. He baptized the young
namesake of the engineer soldier, and
went on with the ceremony.
"Name that child" he gasped,
reaching for the third.
"Albert Sydney johnston" came
the answer.
The smile became audible. Heav-
ing a sigh of relief, he took the fourth,
little girl, whose gender, he fondly
supposed would preclude a continua-
tion of heroic reproductions, and said :
"Name this child"
"Mary Stonewall Jackson Lee"
came the response that set the congre-
CATION in a roar, while the Union par
son thought he had held in his arms
the whole Southern Confederacy.

hammered man stepped up before
Judge Ingraham. "Your HONOR" he
said, II can't leave my business. If l

tie man didn't seem satisfied. "Now
do as I say" continued Judge Ingra-
ham. "Who is your employer, any
way ?" "My wife," sadly responded
the Juror.
