match that is lighted anywhere that
ignition could take place, until the fire
on the match is entirely out So far as
the barn is concerned, never permit any
one to go into 1t with lighted pipe or

Crying is Healthy.

The disposition of the typical young
lady to have "a good cry" seems to have
been found physiologically proper.
Medical authorities assert that crying is
the best exercise for young children.
One hospital superintendent says that
a healthy baby should cry three or four
times a day at least, and from ten to
fifteen minutes at the time.

Fires on the Farm.

Too great care cannot be exercised to
prevent fires on the farm; for fire once
started means the destruction of build
ing and perhaps more than one. The
house is exposed to the usual causes Of
conARgrations, exploding lamps, defec-
tive chimneys and carelessness in hand
ling matches. All the fire caution possible
against such happenings should be
taken. See that the lamps are perfect;
al them during the day, and move them

The new woman appears to be an i'm
provement on some Of the old type in at
least one respect. A New York restau-
rant man says that those in his business
like the new woman. "She eats lots
more than the other kind. The way
the typewriters and stenogrsphers down
town have changed their way of feeding
in the last ten years is oneof the signs
Of the times. 1t used to be a cup Of tea
and piece Of cake or pie for lunch; now
the beef and ham and hot stews they
get away with. And they show the
change in their looks, too; they're not
breaking down as they used to do.

Headache.

The enemy Of womankind, that goes
under the name Of headache, is Of many
varieties, and requires many kinds of
treatment To attempt to Danish all
variations Of it by single "cure" shows
childlike faith in medicines, but very
little common sense. The first step
toward curing headache is to discover
which kind Of a one it is, and then to
devote ones energies to drive it away.
The headache that results from indiges-
ton should not be frequent, as itimplies
overeating or unwise eating. However,
when woman finds herself afflicted with
such headache, she should proceed to
cure it by fasting and mild cathartic,
and sitting with her feet in hot water
a few minutes.
The nervous headache is the kind TO
which American women are most subject,
as it results from the effort to make the
nerves do more than they are able to do
The first step in treating such one is to
drop work and worry and draw the blood
from the head by soaking the Feet in hot
water, and putting cold applications to
the forehead and the back of the neck.
A great many mysterious headaches
have their origin in overstrained eyes.
This kind is cured only by giving the
eyes vacation or by the oculist. OF
course. care in the use Of the eyes is also
help. Reading, writing or sewing in
dim or Pickering lights must be given
up. The common practice Of trying to
read in jolting elevated trains must also
be discarded. The eyes must never be
used too long at time, and when there
is much eyework to be done, brief rests
and bathings in hot water will ward off
dreaded headache.
The headache which Is the result Of ex-
posture to cold or draft or sudden changes,
is best treated by hot applications, hot
water bags, and gentle friction Of the
place Of pain. If this does not Danish
the headache in day, then deeper
illness is indicated and the physicians
care is necessity.
The best way to treat headaches, how
ever, is to avoid them. One should
refuse to overtax the nerves and eyes as
we'll as ones stomach. After that, which
is the frat rule in steering clear of head
ache, plenty of bathing, exercise in the
open air, living in airy, sweet rooms,
and sleeping sufficiently are the rules.
Daily gymnastics, which will call the
blood from the dilated vessels of the
head and distribute it properly through
the body, will also help in the good
work.-NetO York World.

NEW ROUTE TO KINGDOM COME
ATLANTA NEGROES WAITING TO GO
Up ON = WHIRLWIND.

Tomorrow the Day Fixed for thc
Ascension by the Two Negroe.
Who Have Been Preaching the
Doctrine 10 Their FoIIowers-The
Faithful instructed TO Don Their
Ascension Robes and Quietly Await
at Their Homes the Coming of the
Blow.
Atlanta, Ga, March f.-The negro pop
ulation of the city. or at least a consid-
cradle portion OF IT, is greatly excited over
the near approach of Friday morning
when. according TO the belief of a sect
founded among them several months ago,
the faithful believers viii DE gathered uI
in whirlwind and borne TO heaven.
The leaders of the sect, VINO have two
established headquarters in the city. one
on the north side, and the other on the
south side. are too ignorant looking negro
men known as Brother Smith and Broth
er Rodgers. They have been holding forth
at regular meetings for months past,
teaching their followers. a majority OF
whom appear to be women. that they are
to fly away to the heavenly kingdom at
O'Clock next Friday. So thoroughly have
the leaders convinced their followers that
this week will see the end of their stay on
earth that they have been disposing of all
their earthly possessions in preparation
for their departure. Many of them have
given away to friends all they possessed,
keeping only enough of the necessaries of
life to keep them till the appointed day ar
rives when they will put on their ascen-
sion robes and stand waiting for the whirl-
wind that is to carry them away.
There are several hundred of the de-
luded negroes, but the excitement is by
no means confined TO these alone. 1t has
spread among others, who are not among
the faithful" as well. and they join in
the demonstrations that are nightly given
at the headquarters of the sect in large
numbers.
According to the leaders. the Ely
Always" are not to gather in body to
be carried away. but viii be taken up
wherever they may be when the time
arrives.
The police. who have been looking into
the matter, think that this part of the
teaching is shrewd play by the leaders
who want to avoid any big gathering at
the proper hour so that they may quietly
disappear. Some of the negroes, il is re-
ported, have declared that they Will kill
Smith and Rodgers If the whirlWind fails
TO arrive as per schedule to take them
to the heavenly regions, and It is possible
that there may be some trouble. Smith,
the leader, first told his followers that
he would be the first TO ascend taking his
fight during the morning from the dome
of the state capitol. but he has now given
up this part of the plan and tells his
followers that it will not be necessary to
start from a high place, but just to put
on their ascension robes and wait at home
for the coming Of the whirlwind.

INSIST ON INDEPENDENCE.
The Senate Committee Refuses 10
Concur in the House Resolutions.

The Senate Committee Refuses TO
Concur in the House Resolutions.
Washington, March 4.-The Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations discussed the
House Cuban resolutions this morning
for an hour, and was unable to agree
to the resolutions as adopted by the
House.
Senator Sherman, Immediately on the
assembling of the Senate, reported the
action of the committee and requested
that a conference be asked.
There was a division of sentiment in
the committee, a majority holding that
the House resolutions were not as strong
as the Senate resolutions, and that the
language in some respects was ambigu-
Gus. This was charged especially with
reference to the second clause of the
House resolutions, wherein it is stated
that 1.-The only permanent solution of the
contest, equally in the interests of Spain
by the people of Cuba and other nations
would be in the establishment of a gov
eminent by choice of the people of Cuba,
etc" 1t was maintained during the ar
gument in the committee that under such
resolution this government would be COM
mitted to a settlement of the trouble by
Cuba on the basis of an agreement OF
any sort with Spain that permitted Spain
TO still retain her control and domination
of the island. The actual independence
of the island was insisted upon as an
essential feature Of any resolution that
may meet the final concurrence of the
two houses.
1t is believed that there will be no trou-
BILE in the committee of conference in
coming to a satisfactory conclusion on
the text of the resolutions. The confer
ees on the part of the Senate are sub
committee consisting of Senators Sher-
man, Morgan and Lodge.

Waycross, Ga, March 4.-The Elwood
Park colony has not yet materialized
Two Ohioans accompanied Mr.. G. w.
Shuts. the organizer, on his first excur-
sion to the site intended for the proposed
colony. That was about the 25th of Jan
uary last. They said they were not pleas
ed with the location, and in few days
returned to Ohio.
Mr. Shuts said on his arrival with
those two colonists that he would arrange
for regular semi-monthly excursions of
fifty or seventy-five families from Ohio,
and that the next excursion would arrive
about Feb TO- Some of the colonists, he
said, were already on their way to FL
wood Park in wagons So far Mr.. Shuts

NEW CODE OF THE STATE.
The Contract for Printing the Vol

The Contract for Printing the Vol
umes Awarded at Last.
Atlanta. Ga. March 4-Gov. Atkinson,
Controller General Wright and Judge
John l. Hopkins. the commissioners
named by the legislature to have charge
of the publication of the new code, to-day
let the contract for the work to the Foote
& Davies Company of this city The price
to be paid for the work is S1O.S5 per page
for an edition of 1900 copies. This being
the lowest bid presented, though there
were quite a number from printing houses
in both this and other states. The. type
forms are TO be stereotyped so that flu
ture editions of the code may be print
work. The three volumes of the new
code will be sold at 81 % as against $40
for the old code.
Foote & Davies the firm to which the
contract was let, is the same concern
which became involved in a strike with
Its printers and pressmen several weeks
ago on account of an alleged arbitrary
contract which the company presented
TO the men to sign, or seek work elsewhere
The strike has never been settled and the
Federation of Trades stin holds the COM
pany under the ban of its boycott
Yesterday when the bids for the print
ing of the code were opened, and it be-
came known that that of the Foote &
Dawes Company was the lowest, a COM
mittee from the Federation of Trades
called upon Gov. Atkinson to protest
against the awarding of the contract to
that firm. The committee claimed that
the company could not fulfill the con-
tract, because of the strike of the print
ers and pressmen, only a few boys and
green hands being at work in their off,
ces. The Foote & Davies Company, how
ever, convinced the governor and the
other members of the commission to-day
that they were fully able TO perform their
engagement and have given a good bond
to do the work. The criminal code is
now ready to go to press, and ii is eX-
by July.
