RECONCILIATION.

A short but concise recapitulation of
Glynn county's advantages is as follows:
The soil OF the county is almost as va
ried as the different timbers of its for
ests. The light sandy soil is well suited
for the root crops, such as potatoes par-
ticularly Irish potatoes), beets, turnips and
other small vegetables
On the black hammock lands corn grows
like it does in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and
Kansas, while the low lands, which are
capable of easy drainage, are neNhaustible
in fertility.
The rice lands, which afford an indie
pendent income TO their owners, are par
ticularly adapted to the culture of celery.
cabbage, etc.
The Old palmetto fields. that to the cas-
ual observer are worthless. has clay sub
soil that makes them, with reasonable fer
tilization, a veritable paradise of fruit,
which grows to perfection, peach. pear,
plum, apricot, grape, and, even orange and
banana, though the last two are not
profitable.
The sitor here will be shown places
that, with but slight effort have pro-
duced great results, and our people are
beginning to engage in these lines, hither-
to unknown.
No lands in the south are cheaper, more
capable of production or responsive to the
touch of labor and fertilZat on. Lands
can be had in large or small tracts, at
from So to SO an acre, according 10 inn
proVements.
Three hundred bushels of IT sh potatoes
400 bushels of sweet potatoes and more
than one thousand large head of cabbage
have been known to come from one acre
of ground in one year under a high state
of cultivation.
Three crops can be raised on the same
ground every year. When it is remeni-
bered that II per cent of all truck shipped
in the United States in 1894 was shipped
from Norfolk, Va. and that Brunswick Is
from fourteen to twenty-one days earlier
on account of season, than is Norfolk, and
has fine transportation facilities, there is
no doubt it must soon become an import
ant trucking point.

WHY a SWELLING FoIIows a BLOW.

The swelling which follows from
blow is natures effort to protect the
part from further injury and to keep 1t
ut rest while repair is going on. What
actually takes place at the seat of in
jury is not even now quite understood.
The injury to the smaller blood YES
sells interferes with the flow of blood
through them and the white corpuscles,
with part of the serum, the watering
part of the blood, escape into the sur
rounding tissues At the same time
the blood vessels i'll the neighborhood
dilate and the increased flow of blood
with the thoroughfare obstructed in
creases the swelling.
1t is probable that the white cor
puscles of the blood pass into the
tissues to assist in the repair, as bees
or ants assemble at an injury to their
storehouse, but with this difference,
that the substance of the corpuscles is
probably converted into the tissue of
repair From one point of view the
human body is only one gigantic
colony of individuals, and the swelling
that follows injury but the rush OF
these TO repair the breach. h.-Phila-

The only man in the United States
who lives in church steeple is Heze
kiah Bradds, the sexton of the Baptisl
Church at Westport, suburb of Kan
sas City.
The room is small, scarcely larger
than a dry goods box. In that tiny
room he cooks, eats and sleeps. 1t is
just under the bells.
Through the small windows that fur
nish light in the daytime he can see o
portion of Kansas City. Above his
head the swallows twitter as they fly
in and out through the lattice work.
In his small room are bed, dresser,
q tiny stove and table.
He has been sexton of the church
for several years, and has occupied this
room in the steeple since his wife left
him. Some years ago he married a
widow with a grown son. The son
proved bone of contention, and after
numerous quarrels the wife left her
husband, taking the furniture with
her.
Then the church trustees suggested
that Mr.. Bradds move into the little
room beneath the bells. Church mem
bers furnished the room comfortably,
and since then Mr.. Bradds has lived D
lonesome life.

A Brussels correspondent of Paris
journal says that the feature of the
Brussels Exposition that attracts by
far the most attention is the conver-
sion of log into clean, crisp, we'll
illustrated little newspaper. This ex-
hibit is made by an enterprisiug firm
of paper manufacturers and the local
newspaper, "Petit Bleu." Huge logs
are fed into gigantic hopper, cut into
small pieces, and after passing through
most interesting stages of paper manu-
tacture are fed into small perfecting
printing press. In full view are edi-
torial rooms, artists, engravers, stero-
typers and men setting type by ma
chimes, and almost before the end of

end is folded under a newsboy's arm

Our enormous wheat crop, which is
extolled in every journal in the coun-
try, and which excites the admiration
of the world, is equalled by the value
of the poultry and eggs produced in
the United States, the eggs and poul-
try finding home markets. At sixty
cents bushel the total value Of our
wheat crop is about S3O0,0OO,O 900
a year. The census in 1880 lseyen-
teen years ago. showed the value of
poultry and eggs to be 5000, 600, 900,
and yet it is doubtful ii the census
enumerators were able to get the full
number or value. To-day it is known
that the poultry industry is at least
one-third larger than in 1850, and
that the value of the poultry aud eggs
produced in this countryls fully $500,
600, 900, which places it on par with
many other leading industries

Iuventlne Lucirer Matches.

1t was during his early days as as
sistant telcher at a Reading (England)
school that the late Sir Isaac, then
Mr., Holden, invented the lucifeI
match, through the necessity for an
illuminant ON dark wintry mornings.
He told the story thus: "In the morn
ing l used to get up at 4 o'clock, in
order to pursue my studies, and fused
at that time flint and steel, in the use
of which found very great inconveni-
ence. OF course 1 knew, as other
chemists did, the explosive material
that was necessary in order to pro

very difficult to obtain light on wood

idea occurred to me to put sulphur un-
der the explosive mixture. / did that,

A Pretty Custom.

South American lovers have a pretty
custom. II is well known that when
the petals Of the great laurel magnolia
are touched, however lightly, the result
is brown spot, which develops in a
few hours. The fact is taken adyant-
age of by the lover, who pulls mag
nolia flower, and on one of its pure,
white petals writes a motto or message
with hard, sharp pointed pencil.
Then he sends the Hover, the young
lady puts it in vase Of water, and in
three or four hours the message writ

drawn to blisters produced on the

idea that his might be an X-ray effect
suggested itself. Experiments were
then made on number of persons,

protected to similar radiations were
burned, while others who were pro.
tected by strontium glass escaped. The
investigator declares that X-ray dis.

concludes that future protection from

tium glass helmets.

BY THE MARSHES.

In budding green the willows bend,
The rushcs patient stand,
From east to west the cloud-neets trend
At will Of breezes bland;
Aud dark against the sunlit sky
The golden plover fly.
Beyond, a mist spreads 1lmy cloak
Ger amber waters lone,
Aud puffs of distant scattered smoke
Above the reeds are blown;
Aud zigzag traced, from loft to right
Darts by jack-suipe's flight.
Here bask the shy and weary teal
Beside the POOLS dim edge,
Here water-hens all nolseless steal
Among the waving sodge.
And bitterns in the inmost brake
Stand solitary, like q stakeG
Wide stretches stepped In sylvan calm
Beleaguered by the sun;
Winds, southwest winds, with Touch like
balm
Green grass and rushes dun;
And wheeling through the far-off sky
The golden plover fly.

White Animals Cannot smell.

Very few animals but pigs and sheep
are white all over, aud it has been
found that pure white creatures are
entire deficient in the sense of smell.
In Africa white rhinoceroses poison
themselves sometimes 10y eating a
euphorbia, which no othe. animal will
touch, and Italian wool growers do
not like pure white sheep, because
they are always eating grass and herbs
which don't agree with them.
