WHO HAS BOUGHT IT?

Back of the story of the appointment
OF receiver of the Rad, as told in the
above telegram, lies a story that interests
railroad circles. It is said that the South.
ern railway has gained control of the
road.
l. leaked out a short while ago, and was
published in THE NEWS at the time, that
the Columbus Southern had been sold by
the Cbattahooch bee Brick Company, which
owned majority of the bonds.
When the road was built il was bond
ed at $12,500 per mile and the Chatta-
hoochee Brick company held $547, 900 of
the bonds. Other parties held 1888 900
of the bonds.
A short time ago the ChattahOnchee
Brick Company sold out its entire inter
est in the road. 1t is known that this
sale was made through a broker in
bonds, and while it is not known who
bought the holdings it is believed that
the Southern Railway Company did
through the Central Trust Company.
Another rum0r which some think is
we'll founded is that the Columbus South.
ern has passed into the hands of the
Georgia and Alabama Railway Company,
which has swallowed up the Savannah,
Americas & Montgomery road, but the
most generally accepted theory, and the
one to which the local employees of the
Columbus Southern are most inclined, is
hat it has been scoOped by the Southern.
This is the interesting question con-
corning the recent devel0pments-wb who
bought the Columbus Southern?

SCHOOL ALLOWANC ES.

Ample Spending Money Is Not an Evil
dence OF Parental Wisdom.
How much spending money. asks
the Philadelphia Times, should a boy
or girl be allowed at boarding school?
The wise parent knows how much
the board and tuition cost; how much
the books, washing and that vague
Item described in catalogues as ''inci-
dentals." These things are paid by
the term, and are not included in the
spending money. That is meant to
purchases as the pupil is obliged to
make. There arc very few acade
mics which do not make an especial
request that allowances be small and
that are not SO situated and managed
as to make the spending Of much
money seemingly impossible.
The children at school are obliged
to be in bed at an early hour. The
theater is out of the question. They
are discouraged from eating sweet
meats because of their health, and
their confectionery expenses should
therefore be small. They go TO school
equipped with clothing of all sorts
sufficient to last at least until their
first visit home, so that their dry
goods or tailors' bills should be moth
ing at all.
They have to pay a few fees to
school societies-perhaps IS year.
They have to subscribe to a few school
publications, which cost perhaps a
dollar a year. Once week or so
they are allowed the privilege of going
into the town, on the outskirts Of
which the school is usually located.
They need carfare, money for stamps
and paper, and very little for ''fun"
as they would say. Three dollars a
month is quite enough for an allow
ance.
Of course, there will be children
who have more money at the school
and they will seem to the ones with
small allowances very enviable per-
sonages. In reality they can spend it
only in ways which will prove a dis
turbance to school discipline, a dis
traction to their studies and very
poor sort of preparation for the pos
sibilities of the future, so far as they
themselves are concerned.

The Nicaragua { anal.

The project of the Nicaragua Canal
has been debated in the U. S. Senate
very vigorously. One thing should
be remembered about that climate, it
is death to almost every foreigner who
goes there, and laborers especially sue
cumb. 1t is said that the Panama
railroad cost life for every tie. What
an idea of pains and aches is in this
sentence. 1t is mostly due to careless
ness. Every laborer provided with st.
Jacobs Oil would be armed against
these troubl. 8. Mems muscles there
are cramped with rheumatic pains
and they ache all over. That's just
the condition where this sovereign
remedy can do its best work. The
fearful malady is very much like the
break bone fever in certain parts of
America.

Seeding Blue Grass.

Please advise us through your paper
of the best time to SOW blue grass,
writes a subscriber to Orange County
Farmer. Prof. II. j. Waters of the
Pennsylvania State college answers:
Our efficient farm superintendent, w.
6. Patterson, informs me that during
the past twenty-five years there have
been very few seasons in which blue
grass has not been sown upon some
part of the campus, college or expert
mental farms. 1t does well here on
our limestone soil, making rapid
growth and close sod. Summing up
the experience of these years, it has
been found that spring seeding has
given US the best results. Failures to
secure a good catch have been very
rare indeed. The land is thoroughly
prepared in the fall, that is, plowed to
reasonable depth and narrowed
until the surface is smooth and fine.
AS early in the spring as the ground is
sufficiently dry to work, and danger
from frost is over, it is narrowed
and the seed sown broadcast at the
rate of from one to two bushels
in the field and three to four bushels
per acre for lawns. Usually other
grasses were sown with the blue grass
and in all cases a small quantity of
both red and white clover seed is sown
on the same ground. Before harrow
ing preparatory to seeding in the
spring, however, small quantity of
oats-about two and one half pecks
per acre-is sown broadcast. The har-
rowing given the land to prepare it for
the grass will cover the oats. The
spring rains will start the grass and
oats quickly and they are allowed TO
grow until the oats are about heading,
when the mower is run over the ground
with the cutter bar set rather higher
than is usual for ordinary work. The
crop is cured for hay or used for soil
ing or put into the silo. The exact time
of cutting the oats will be governed
somewhat by the growth they make
and the season. Without question
too much shading is detrimental to
the young grass plants, making
them weak and spindling, and yet
sufficient to protect them in part from
the direct rays of the sun is believed
to be beneficial Hence the oats should
be cut before too much growth is
made. AS rule they start up again
in short time and furnish some pro-
lection to the grass during July and
August. By this time the grass is
strong enough to take care of itself
and a good sod is soon formed.
Further south, where the long, hot
summers and comparatively mild
winters are the rule, fall seeding from
Aug. Is to Sept. 5, is preferable with
out doubt. 1 have assumed that
my questioner proposes to seed
tillable land. If the land is
rough or partially sodded the
seed may be sown broadcast early in
the spring and if not too rough or the
sod already thick, harrow run over
the ground before sowing will be very
beneficial.

An Idyl of . Pretty Girl, q Nice Young

AR Idyl OF . Pretty Girl, q Nice Young
Man and FLUFFY Terrier.
She was a very pretty girl, some
where between II and IS, and she was
prettily dressed. and her hat was a
creation, and her boots fitted like
gloves, and her fresh young face was
all smily proudly, as Nine. Grand puts
it, says the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Attached to her by a rather lengthy
cord was a fluff of black and gray hair
that had four legs and two eyes, and
that was going through the hollow
form OF being Scotch terrier. She was
travelling alone evidently, and she was
delighted with the experience. She
saw that her valise was still at the
gale. She took out her purse and
verified the impression that she still
had her ticket and her trunk check.
she bought five cents worth of cara
mels, and on the whole she would not
nave traded places with the jeweled
queen of Spain.
He looked like football player at
a fresh-water college. His ears were
a little red, and they stuck out
some, but he had an honest, clean
young face, with good pair of eyes
IN it, and he wore dove-colored
trousers with distinct creases in them.
Evidently he was impressed; anybody
would be with average common sense,
and for fifteen minutes he faded round
after that young woman in an unob-
trusive shadowy manner that was
respectful. but yearnsome:
BY and by he began strategic ap-
proacn. She was standing near the
main entrance to the arcade and he
had dropped into chair behind her.
The terrier was within reach, so he
stopped over and patted him on the
head and remarked ssGood doggie.m
Whereat the terrier promptly bit him
in the finger. Whereat he said 's--
the brute" right out loud and kicked
at it. Whereat the terrier went at the
dove-colored pantaloons and bit them
right in the back crease, apparently
gathering about dessertspoonful of
mister man at the same time Whereat
the young woman in the case, with
her eyes blazing with wrath and as
PhO0Oy ~ IlCi ally
man ought to look at, gave vicious
physical-culture haul upon the rope,
and the trousers gave little but not
the dog, while the young man asked
her quite earnestly to "Don'tm But
she wouldn't "don't," and another
pull brought off Toto and about two or
three square inches of gents furnish
ing goods. Then the young man in
the excitement Of the minute stepped
upon Toto's foot and the union station
was filled with canine wailing that
worked a crescendo, from shrill
yell to shallow whistle.
She said 'sYou brute" to the young
man: And the young man said II
wish | had stamped on his head" to
the young woman, and she went off
west with Toto in her arms still
shrilling his protest. and he went east
with his finger in his mouth, stopping
now and again to rub the place where
his trousers were torn and to look
around vindictively at the parties of
the other part.

WITHDRAWING,

While whitewash made from shell
lime may be good enough for inside use,
it never proves satisfactory on the out
side of buildings, says Mail and Elk
press. 1t soon washes off, leaving the
boards exposed to the action of sun and
rain, and does but little good. AS stone
lime (made from lime stone) can be
procured almost anywhere and cheaplv,
too, it should be used in preference to
shell lime. Get that which is fine, we'll
burned and free from shales, and never
use that which is air slaked. Put
your lime into a tub and pour on
enough hot water to barely cover it.
and leave it until it has broken to
pieces, after which slowly add water
enough to make it like very thick
cream. Take out enough of this lime
into your bucket to make what Won
wish to use, and tone it down with
water to the proper consistency, add
ing q double handful of common
salt to each pail of whitewash, which
prevents it from peeling off, caus-
ing it to cling well during the rain,
which adds to its brightness. Do not
put the whitewash on when too thick.
as this is one of the great causes of its
peeling off. For inside work, where
the wall is plastered or has a
smooth finish, and when you wish
to have an extra nice and attrac-
tive job, for each pail of whitewash
use large teaspoonful of Venetian red,
powdered finely and well mixed with
the whitewash. This coloring is very
cheap and will give the work a neat
rose tint. You can use more or less of
the color as you wish, remembering.
however, that it dries much lighter
than when at first put on. AS carbolic
acid, when mixed with lime, loses
much of its virtue, it will hardly nav
to use it to act as preventive against
lice, mites, etc. Cleanliness and n
frequent use of whitewash will do the
work effectually, for neither is
relished by the insect pests.
