CANTEENs CONDEMNED.
CIergymen of Atlanta Want Them
Prohibited.


Atlanta, Ga, June 20-The Atlanta min
listers are up in arms against the sale of
beer and liquors at the "Canteen" of the
Georgia Regiments at Chickamauga and
Tampa.
To-day the Evangelical Ministers AS
ISOLATION held meeting and adopted con-
demnatory resolutions on the subject.
The ministers also discussed crap
shooting by the Georgia volunteers, as
represented in the reports from the
camp, and that was also condemned. They
think the soldier boys should devote their
spare time to something more eevating
than crap shooting and patronizing the
canteen.
Here are the resolutions as passed:
Whereas, our attention has been called
to a report that a canteen has been open
ed in the camp of the Second Georgia Reg
iment of volunteers for the sale of beer
and whisky, and.
Whereas, we are deeply interested in
the moral and physical welfare of the
Georgia boys who have gone to the front
at the call of their country, and we believe
that this win be thoroughly demoralnzing
if continued, therefore,
Resolved, That the ministers of Atlanta
earnestly petition the Secretary of War to
order the stoppage of a business which is
contrary to the moral sentiment of the
country and the best interests of the
troops"

Corks Was n Corker.

the chief on expert firemen. Mr.. Muir
phys acquaintance with firemen is a
wide one and he has had excellent OPP
portunity for acquiring u great deal OF
knowledge about them.
"Why, chief" said he, "they had a
fireman in the Kansas City department
who could balance a 30 foot ladder, run
up it, draw it up after him, and then
run up it again.
The chief didn't smile.
"That may be considered clever In
Kansas City, he said, "but it wouldn
draw second look in Cleveland. Years
ago we used to have man IN the oe-
partment who never made use OF the
ladders at all. When he wanted to &C

Traps and Trapping.

The ways of trapping are as various
as the ingenuity of savage or civilized
man can devise. like best tho traps
that one can make. They seem to give
the animal fairer show; they develop
our own constructive faculties, and tho
nearer we can get to the savage way
the more fun it always is. Steel traps
have place that wooden traps can new
or fill, but give me something that l
can make with my own hands, with the
simplest tools, out of whatever materi-
ais tho spot affords whore tho animal
lives.
Of all the animals in this country
there is none that affords less harmful
sport than the rabbit-more properly
hare-of which there are several spe-
cies. Its wonderful powers of increase
enable it to hold its own, as far too
many of our best and most valuable
animals do not. Furthermore, rabbits
are very easily trapped.
Every one knows its little trail, as
broad as ones hand, through the bushes
or broom sedge, or its footprints as ii
hops over the clear snow. Here, where
the path goes under fence rail, it has
stopped to gnaw. The rabbit. follows
this path in season and out, though IL
the far north, where the snow keeps
piling and piling up, its little road may
change with each successive snowfall
Trappers there put out a large number
of snares, setting them right in tho mid
die of the paths. -Harpers Round Ia

European Economies,

10 an American, accustomed to the
loose methods and wasteful habits Of
her country and people, there are few
things moro interesting and genuinely
amazing than the thrift, the economies,
the ways of European, households. Mrs.
c., we will say, has taken furnished
house in London. She considers herself
good manager at home. She is deter
mined not to be cheated abroad. She
gets up in tho morning. and, finding tbe
day chilly, she decides to order coal and
kindling. She gives an order according
IL that makes her coal merchant lout
low and smile with brown sugared
sweetness, while her cook stares, and,
if she be an honest woman, cries out /:
"All that, mem? Wherever shall we
put 'em? Whatever shall VIC do with
'em?" She fears that she has made o
mistake, having plenty of American
cleverness and adaptability. Sho re-
sends half the order. The tradesman' S
face is study now. His expression
changes wonderfully, and SO does his
manner. The barometer has stood at
"servilo" and "obsequious. " 1t drops
to "civil disgust" toward her, while he
filings look of hatred ut cook as he
leaves the room, which being interpreted
means: "You fool, you miserable mar
plot, what do you get by being SO idiotic
as to have conscience? Why didn't
you let her give big order and steal

Luther's Bones.

1t is generally supposed that the
bones of the great reformer were torn
from their last resting place in the
church of tho castle of Wittenberg dur
ing the Thirty Years war and scattered
to the winds, like those Of Wyclif.
At all events, no trace of Luther's tomb
has hitherto been discovered. One OF
the biographers of Luther, Herr koest-
lin of Halle, has, however, raised no
littlo sensation in religious circles III
Germany by recent article in theo-
logical magazine which throws over the
accepted explanation of the disappear
ance of the rcformers tomb as mere tic
ton. He declares that two workmen
engaged Oh the restoration of the church
in Wittenberg castle came across the
coffin and body of Luther without let
ting any of their comrades know OF
their find. 1t is alleged that they enter
ed the chapel by night and dug out the
remains, secretly ,reinterring them, III
fear of arrest. There ought to be no
difficulty in discovering whether there
is any truth in Herr Kocstlin's state
ment. Westminster Gazette.

With mock solemnity OF counte-
nance which he knew so well how tc
assume at moments notice he said:
II write we'll, your honor, but slow

This was too much for the judge and
the assembled bar, and tho courtroom
echoed with prompt and unrestralhel
hilarity. There was not lawyer pres

friends called his wildcat tracks, y an'
