What Wa In His Head.

Tommy, a pupil of a primary school,
though almost an innocent, took to the
oral lesson in physiology because it was
illustrated from a large chart. His
teacher tells that one day she, thinking
he had learned one physiological fact.
attempted to show him off. One Fri
day our lesson concerned the head and
brain. Knowing Tommy's love for the
pictures, I placed him where he could
get good view of the chart, and tried
long and hard to impress upon him that
his mead contained his brain. l really
thought that at last had made an i'm
preston and saw CLEAN of intelli-
gence on his dull little face. AT that
moment the superintendent happened
to make call, and thinking had ac-
complished wonders (Tommy's fame
having reached him) l called on Thomas
to tell where his brain was. He gave me
a blank look and remained silent. l
tried again, and put the question in an
other form. "Now, Tommy" said,
"tell Mr.. NJ. what is in your head"
The little hand shot up, and Tommy
fairly roared out: "A bad cold" It
was my last attempt to show Tommy
off in public.-Chicago Times-Hernld.
Never tie a horse with the halter
shank in his mouth. A horse is often
led out for various purposes with the
halter shank in the mouth. When he
is put into his stable or is to be tied
temporarily, the attendant ties the
shank, leaving one part of it in the
animals mouth. If the horse hap
pens to turn his head or to step back
so that the part in the mouth pulls
against his jaw, he will usually pull
until he breaks the shank. He may
cut his tongue entirely off, or he may
break his jaw.--The Cultivator and
Country Gentleman.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


For some time past tad blood has ex'
listed among some OF tho citizens OF
Edsville neigh borhood, about seven
miles north OF Durant, and last week
terminated IN the killing OF Pearson
Lott, son OF A. G, Lott, by r. c. Mat
thews,
Mr., Matthews, who is a merchant and
postmaster at Edsvillo, had some cows
OF A, G. Lott penned up for getting in
his field, and claimed damages for the
corn destroyed by the cows. This Mr.
Lott refused to pay and carried the
matter to a Justices court lie with
his son Pearson, Constable Buckley, Mr.
Matthews and young man, Mr.
McAneer, who lives with Mr., Matthews,
met in the road about half mile south
of the postoflice, 1t seems, for the pur-
pose OF agreeing on certain of thelr
neigh ors to be called in TO assess tho
damage done to tho corn by the cows,
and then all were to como to Durant and
try the case before Squire Brock. 1t
seems, however, from the best informa-
ton obtainable, that just as the crowd
was breaking up dispute arose be-
tween young Lott and McAneer, an
old difficulty between them being re-
newed, in which Matthews took hand,
and after firing two shots at A. g. Lott
without effect turned and shot young
Lott through the heart killing him in
stantly. In the excitement Matthews
and young McAneer skipped out.

Georgins Confederate Pensioners
Georgia's pension bureau is already
quite a heavy one. The outlook is that
It will be much heavier. The widows
Of veterans get $4,000, disabled vet
Grams $3.50, 900, and there Is an appro-
priaton of $4,000 for INDECENT vet
Grams. For the first and second classes
Of pensioners, the appropriations APP
pear to be sufficient, but the appropria-
tion for the third class is said TO be
wholly inadequnte When the appro-
priation was made twas estimated that
there were in the state about $500
veterans, who, on account of old age or
disease, ought To be assisted by the
state. 1t was decided to allow such
veterans $50 per annum. The applica-
tions of 1000 have been granted, and
there are 1000 more on file. The mum
Der is certain to increase as the vet
Grams grow older, As only $500 can
have pensions under the present appro-
priation, and as 1000 have been grant
ed pensions, the selection of 500 from
the 1000 applications is II serious prob
lem. The applicants are scattered
throughout the state. The pensions
now amount to considerably more than
$500, 900. 1t would be nearly 5000, 600 il
pensions were granted to all who have
filed applications.

Relics of Gen. Washington.

Alexandria, Va, was once full of
relics of Washington, but in the lapse
of time many scores have been carried
away, so that with the exception of the
memorials of the great chief preserved
by AleXandria-Wa lodge of
Free and Accepted Masons, very few
now remain. The lodge early intrust-
ed portion of these relics to Maj.
Timothy Mountford, who established
the Alexandria museum, under the
patronage of the lodge, and carried it
on for many years in the upper story
of the old market building. At his
death the lodge resumed possession Of
the Washington relics, and so they
were saved when the museum was
burned in 1871. They have been added
to from time to time and now constitute
a collection of no mean interest. There
will soon be added to them a collection
made by A. G, Uhler, including some
articles manufactured from the frame
of Washington's town house, which
stood on Cameron street, near Pitt
street, and was torn down in 1856. In
this way the lodge museum will have
representation of what once was Wash
ington's Alexandria real estate.

Spring cleaning need not necessarily
be made the drudgery it is if properly
done. Paints, floors, hard walls and
windows may all be cleaned without
rubbing, by wiping over with strong
suds made of Ivory soap and hot, soft
water, then rinsed and dried. A room
thus cleaned will be fresh and sweet,
with no unpleasant odor of strong
soaps or cleaning fluids.
