abandon the remainder of the road to
Lumpkin. but will not continue it as the
main line The amendment to the charter
granted to-day allowes the company to
build from Louvale to Richland. The
people of Lumpkn do not like being left
on side line, and are preparing to file
a petition asking that the road be en-
Joined from abandoning the old route as
the main line.

Glddness Comes

Ninth better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal Ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
~ removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utabse druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slxillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
usedand gives most general satisfaction.

Disappearance of Swallows Explain.
ed by m Observing Yankee.
From the Lewiston Journal.
Many people have wondered what be-
comes of all the swallows. They increase
rapidly during their sojourn in their north
ern summer home, and they appear to have
few natural enemies; yet their numbers re-
main about the same from one year to
another. Watertille gentleman thinks
he has discovered the secret Of the disap-
pearance of many of:them. 1t is fact OBJ
served by everybody who has fished on the
Maine ponds that swallows are almost con-
stantly flying about, often close to the sur
face, and dipping into the water. The Ken-
tIeman referred to was watching one of the
birds doing this recently, when, just as the
swallow touched the water. q pickerel came
to the surface with big swirl and seized
him. The swallow went under but the
hold of the pickerel must have been slight
for in an instant the bird came to the sur
face and tried to fly away. He seemed
weak, and going but a few feet struck the
water again. The pickerel must have been
watching for the bird. for at that instant
there was another furry in the water, and
the bird went under second time, not to
come up again, and one pickerel had a nice
meal that day. These Maine pickerel are
voracious fellows, and will tackle almost
any moving thing that they can swallow

A curious tale of besieged and conquered
monastery belongs to the early history Of
the Canary Islands, and is retold by Chas. Ed
Warles in his description Of the isles. In the
early part Of the eighteenth century there
lived in Orotava, on the island OF Teneriffe

some years Of ease. had the misfortune to
be burned out of house and home They
went into temporary quarters for a year.
but became dissatisfied with such rncon-
ventional walls, and began looking about
for permanent abiding place At that
time there was In Orotaya a house of
Jesuits. which had lost its former import
ance and, though commodious and health
full. gave lodging to but two men, the rector
Of the house and his assistant.
On this mansion the nuns cast covetous
eyes, and soon resolved to appropriate it.
One morning about forty Of them advanced
against it, by strategy induced the Jesuit
brother to open the outer gate. and then
trooping into the courtyard, fell on their
knees, thanking God for this preliminary
success. In vain did the two monks reason
with them on their scandalous conduct
They merely held their ground, exclaiming:
Rather Andrew. this is a large cage for
so few birds"" Some Of the more reasonable
members Of the sisterhood explained that
they were really In need Of a dwelling as

pose leaving 1t. The rector, IN despair fed

your best to extricate yourself from those

That however, was more easily said than

ment Of nails. The siege lasted for three or
four hours. News of it flew about the town

ENGLISHMEN AND AMERICA.
There Have Reen Many Warm Friends
of This Country ACROSS the Ocean.

There Have Recn Many Warm Friends
of This Country ACROSS the Ocean.
From the Century.
The fact is that the English public men
who have understood America, or W no have
seemed to care to understand her, have, at
least until recently. always represented
small minority. During the first century
of our national life scarcely an Englishman
of emiHcnce was clear sighted enough to
perceive Americas real devotion to great
ideals. Our British kinsmen thought US a
horde of sradgrindS and nothing else;
whereas, in spite of a seeming absorption
in material things, the national life was
graphing with mighty ethical and political
ideas, which the selishness and irresponsi-
bility Of politicians might sometimes dis
tort, but could never stifie. Leigh Hunt
Lowell used to remind u.s. could never
think of America without seeing in imagin-
alton gigantic counter stretched all along
our seaboard; and we bore Hunts ridicue
with compiacency that was the more
cheerful because his caliber and weight Of
metal were scarcely great enough to do
much execution over sea. Carlyle sneered;
we remembered his dyspepsia and foreave
Ruskin emptied the walls of his eloquent
contempt upon our sacrifice to Americas 8
freedom and integrity; we abated no jot or
little Of our veneratioa for his prophets
message, while we strcve to make just al
lOWanCe 1Or tne VSBarieS or the hypereS
thetic temperament. These things it was
easy to condone. The Engishmen who
have understood American life have Judged
it by something beside the froth of the ir-
responsible press ard the antics of pro-
Vincial statesmen. Cohden's fatal exposure
of his life to do us service and John
Bright's brave words in the hour of our dis
tress can never be forgotten. The memory
Of Thomas Hughes-alas, that We must
write memory now-will always remain a
legacy. in
culiar sense, we arc coheirs with English
men; while the work of Mr.. Bryce has not
only won our respect and gratitude, but is
tound to leave deep impress on our life
None of these was blind to the evident fol-
bles, defects and crudities of the strenuous
life OF an earnest and virile people. On the
other hand, none invited distrust by silly
attempts to flatter CT cajoe But all were
quick to recognize in America aspiration,
achievement and representative character
something other and better than mere big
ness. They even ventured now and then
to speak of these things as great, but the
word sets better on their lips than on ours.

Tall Chfmneys,
From Chambers Journal.

The highest chimney in England is sup
posed to be that at Barlow & Dobson's mill

Of $4,000 bricks and 122 tons of stone. 1t

st. Rollox chimney in Glasgow is AS feet
and the Townsend chimney in the same
city Is said to be 46S feet high. But the
steeplejacks make no more Of climbing
such chimneys than one third of their
height, though the vibration is more serious
at times. All chimneys vibrate, especially
in gale-it is a condition of their safety
but the oscillation at the top is a serious
matter for any one at work there during a
high wind. and in such conditions the job
is postponed to calmer season. Lanca-
shire also boasts one of the crookedest
