Under the dispensary law the commis-
Eioners' salaries are fixed at not less than
800 each, there being three commission
ers.
Under the law all the liquors have to
be analysed by a competent chemist which
count.
The heaviest expense is bottles and jugs,
frequent car load orders being made,
which costs heavily.
If the dispensary law here contemplated
running business for a profit. then more
money might be made. But the law dis
tinctly says that all profits shall be an
pensary.
In order to prevent it being turned into
a money-making machine, the law provid-
ed that not more than so per cent profit
on the invoice cost of the stock could be
made.
The money thus cleared. which averages
between $1,000 and $4,000 per annum, is
divided between the city of Athens and
the county of Clarke and is used for many
purposes of public improvement, such as
schools, roads, etc.

Immigrants and New York.

Ernest Ingersoll writes for ST. Nicho-
las a paper on the Greater New York
entitled Reasoning Out Metropolis. F"
Mr.. Ingersoll says
The merchants Of New York sent to
the continent of Europe more ships than
the merchants of other cities, who trad
ed mainly with Great Britain, SO that
this city was better known throughout
Europe, and her vessels were the handi-
est for emigrants from France, Ger
many and Holland. Agents Of the New
York merchants and of the government,
who were seeking and encouraging i'm
migration, could show that this pert
was the most advantageous landing
place for man who was going on west,
and the sea captains explained that ii
was the safest and quickest port to
make because the course lay south OF
the stormy, foggy region north of Cape
Cod, and the city was much closer to
the open sea than either Philadelphia
or Baltimore. At any rate immigration
increased in favor of New York as time
went on, and the stream of incsninP
people swelled until in the decade from
1884 to 1894 it amounted to about 500,
600 immigrants year, 500, 666 arriv
ing in 1890 alone, not counting those
from Canada and Mexico.

washing is usually done by the married
soldiers wives, who are expected to sew

which small sum is deducted from the
private's pay.
Pat McGinni had a good deal of trou-
BILE with his laundress. Sunday after
Sunday had his shirt come back with
the neck button off or else hanging by a
thread. He had spoken to her on the
subject, and she bad promised to see to
it. but still the button was not on prop
erly.
He got out Of patience one Sunday
when the missing button had made him
late for parade and exclaimed:
Bother the woman I'll see if can I
give her hint this time anyhow"
He then took the lid of tin black
ing box, about 8 inches in diameter.
drilled two holes in it with fork and
sewed it on to the neck of the shirt that
was next to be washed. When his wash
ing came back, he found she had taken
the hint she bad made buttonhole

PsivNts John Alien In n swell Tavern.
john Allen Of Mississippi, the Wit OF
the house, arrived at the Ponce de Leon,
ST. Augustine, registered and was as
signed TO room He had never seen
apartments so extravaRantly furnished.
Expensive oil paintings hung on the
walls. The bedstead was OF mahogany
and hand carved. Competing hall ioot
thick covered the flooring. There were
vases filled with flowers, velvet covered
chairs, lace curtains, beveled mirrors
and all the other appliances OF modern
convenience and luxury
John became alarmed. He figured it
out that that room would cost as much
per day as his salary as congressman
would amount 10 in half week. he
called bellboy, gave him 81 and told
him to quietly find out the tariff on that
room. John didn't like TO ask the clerk
himself He yeas big man, and that
would look little. The boy returned
presently and informed the guest that
the price was $50 per day. Allen went
down stairs, laid down dime and
called for cigar. They didn't sell any
thing but 1.-TWO bit" cigars. He put
down nickel on the newsstand and
picked up New York paper. Twenty
cents more, please" said the clerk. He
got drink and rendered 10 cents.

Windsor asked the barkeeper. Drinks
here are quarter. That settled 1T
with Allen. He went to his room, gath
cred his grips and took them himself
down stairs. Then he called for his bill.
"Why, what is the matter. Mr.. AL
len? We thought that you were going
to spend some time with u.s." asked the
clerk.
Very sorry" replied Mr. Allen,
"but have just received telegram
that calls me away"
The clerk reached out his band to tell
him goodby.
''But the bill?" inquired Allen.
"There isn't any bill. You are the
guest of the manager, Mr.. Seavy. y
But Allen had TO make the bluff
good and he left on the evening train.

Co to Bed.

The best possible thing for a man to
DO when he feels too weak to carry any
thing through is to go to bed and sleep
as long as he can, says The Medical
Record. This is the only recuperation
of brain power, the only actual recu.
peration of brain force, because during
sleep the brain is in state of rest, in a
condition to receive and appropriate
PARTICLES of nutriment from the blood
which take the place of those which
have been consumed by previous labor.
since the very act of thinking burns up
solid PARTICLES as every turn Of the
wheel or screw Of the steamer is the re.
suit Of consumption by fire of the fuel
