The Rabbit Foot for Luck .

A Southern negro has a rabbit
foot which, he says, he wouldn't
take a "millyun" dollars for. One
procured under ordinary circum-
stances will not bring good luck,
according to his idea of what a gen
uine good luck rabbit foot should
be. He was asked the following
question:
"Will any rabbits foot bring a
person luck?"
mo, sab! No, sahl OATS de, rea-
son | wouldn't sell dis one for "a

Sam Jones New Mansion.

The following is taken from a
lengthy illustrated article in the
Atlanta Journal descriptive of Rev.
Sam P. Jones' new residence and
mark in Gainesville, Georgia:
A heavy stone wall with iron
mountings surrounds the property,
and all asphalt walk, banked on
either side by beds Of flowers, leads
FROM the threshold. The building
is of modern architecture, with
twenty-one rooms and large airy
piazzas.
Passing through the the heavy
art glass and oak folding doors
from the front piazza, the arched
ceiling in the hallway is at once
xhe attraction, the effect of the
beautiful Administer carpet. EN-
pire design in blue and ford leaf,
Is taken up by the frescoed walls
and eliminated in a pretty shaded
sky treatment and festoon decOra-
tion in the arch. The woodwork
is a natural oak, and the portieres
correspond with the carpet and fur
pisbings. o.,
This section of the home is filled
with objects dart, and with many
articles that interest the curious.
A huge japanese vase stands to the
right of the entrance, and fancy
for the Oriental is easily diserned.
Two weIl-known paintings for
instance, by Hal Morrison, the
"Cock Fight" and "Uncle Tony
and the Watermelon" occupy con-
spicuous places on the walls.
Across the hall from the draw
ing room and the study is the par
lor, the climax of the designers
touch. The arched ceiling presents
a beautiful morning sky effect, and
the ornamentations are in relief
plaster paris and flower festoons in
Empire style. The highest points
are touched with natural gold, and
to the center is painted an endless
wreath of tropical flowers intermin-
gled with cupids. The side walls
are blended to creamlsh gray, and
The woodwork is enameled ivory,
finished with natural gold. The
carpet furnishings and upholster-
ing correspond with the furnish
ings. and N the mantle handsome
emit glass mirror is in a cabinet OF
ivory, touched also with yellow
metal:
Mrs. Jones' collection of silver
china and glass is probably the
largest and wealthiest in Georgia
Especially interesting is Mrs. Jones
collection of souvenir spoons. The
original cost Of this collection alone
must have approximated $500. a

Prince Henry of Prussia, repre-
sentative of the Emperor at the
recent coronation and other Ger
man princes, on Saturday, the
chairman drank to the health Of
Prince Henry, as the representa-
tive of the Emperor, and other
princes in his suite. The latter
expression was a slip of the tongue,
but Prince Louis of Bavaria, eld-
est son of the Regent, took the ex-
preston amiss. He arose imme-
diately, and in a sharp speech
pointed out that the German
Princes had not come in Prince
Henry's suite.
He said: "We are not in the
suite and are not vassals. We are
the allies Of the Emperor. We
stood side by side with the King
of Prussia in the war against
France, and the old Emperor ac-
knowledged it always. We will do
the same whenever Germany is
threatened with war"
ASS result of the speech Prince
Henry, the other princes and the
German ambassador Immediately
left the table.

STOPPING A SHIP.
Time and Distance 1t Takes to Ar
rcsf n Vessels Motion.

The motion of a steamship on the At
Iantic when the sea is calm, is so
smooth and steady that the passenger
hardly realizes the tremendous mOmen-
tum Of the vessel under his feet. After
the engines have been slowed down
there is a startling revelation of the
energy of motion, says a writer in the
Youths Companion. This energy can
aid of mathematical formulas, and the
time and distance within which the
motion can be totally arrested, and the
ship be brought to a stand, may be as
certained in a similar manner. This
calculation has recently been made for
several we'll known ships. To stop the
Etruria, whose displacement is $3.50
tons, horse power 14,321, and speed 20.1S
knots an hour, two minutes and forty
seven seconds are required, and during
the process of stopping, the ship will
forge ahead :, ,464 feet, which is only 176
feet less than half a mile. The United
States cruiser Columbia, with a dis
placement of 1850 tons, 1891 horse
power and speed of 22.S knots can be
stopped in two minutes and fifteen sec
onds, and within a space of 2, ,147 feet.
The little flyer Cushing, also of the
United States navy, whose displacement
is only 105 tons, and horsepower LISA
while it's speed is 22.4S knots, can. be
stopped within a distance Of 301 feet in
1874 seconds. In each case the vessel
Is supposed to be going at full speed
and the stoppage is produced by revers-
ing the action Of the propelling machin-
cry.

his horns and head. and will then get
in and roll over until his entire skin
is coated. He carries such coats of

The value of buffaloes has been in
creasing more rapidly than anything in
this country. Town lots in Chicago are
nothing to them. About ten years ago
they were drug in the market. Thou
sands Of them were killed for their
tongues, but a good buffalo is now
worth at least $500 when dead. Its skin
is worth from 800 and upward accord
ing to quality. and the head is worth
from $500 to $500 for mounting and
preservation as a relic of this great
animal of the past. Such is the value
of dead buffalo. Live buffaloes for
breeding are worth much more, and 1
am told that the government buffaloeS
are worth from $1,000 to $1,000 apiece.
At this rate the fifty in Yellowstone
Park are worth from $4,000 to $100, 900.
They are worth $4,000 to the hunters
who can sneak in and kill them in the
wilds of the Yellowstone Park. Sup
pose there were fifty $500 deer in the
Adirondack mountains; how long would
it be before they would be killed by
hunters, no matter what the laws
| might be? The Yellowstone Park is
four times as large as the Adirondacks,
and is fifty times as far from civiliZa-
ton. The country about it contains
! people who care nothing for the buff
falo or other game, except for the
money which they can get out of them.
When you think that a half dozen such
men could clean out this herd in one
day, provided they could find it in one
of the many wild valleys, and thereby
make S25, 900 out of the job, you get
some idea of the danger which exists.
During the present week [ have had
