VERDE ANTIQUE MARBLE.
Lost in Thesssly, but Found In Inex-
haustible Store I'm Georgia.


haustible Store In Georgia.
In the early centuries of the Christian
era, and possibly before. the exquisite
green marble, veined with white, which
the ancients priced so highly for orna-
mental building purposes, was quarrled
in Thessaly. With the advent of the
dark ages the location of the quarries
was lost and has never since been found.
The ruined structures were stripped to
afford decorations for modern churches
and palaces, and the marble became very
expensive. Substitutes of ordinary green
marble from Greece, France, Ireland,
Italy and America were offered, but moth
ing was found to equal the real Thes-
salian green, or verde antique; as it is
called. For ten or fifteen years it has
been known that there was a deposit of
a. beautiful as the old Thessalian verde
antique has only been realized recently.
Biologists, by the way, do not classify
verde antique as i green marble, but as
n stone by itself, a serpentine, and they
furthermore say that there is no such
substance as verde antique marble. But
none the less the stone is everywhere
last few months has won the highest
praise from American architects and
builders. Several of Chicago's largest
public buildings are being finished with
this new material. 49,. --.-,~
The quarry is now over sixty feet deep
and the deeper it gets the better is the
marble. 1t is expected that the world
at large will jump at the chance to Sc
cure a stone so like the rare old Thes-
salian green. When the first company
organized to work the marble quarry
they attempted to get out the stone by
blasting with dynamite, which shattered
the stone and greatly wasted it. Shortly
after the company went into the hands
of receiver. Last spring a Chicago
stock company was organized and went
to work with channeling machines. Dur
ing the summer the ragged hole left by
the former dynamite method of working
has been shaped out, the walls squared,
the floor leveled, and now blocks Of stone
of regular size weighing eight and ten
tons, are taken out. The Cherokee coun-
ty verde antique seems likely to become
as famous and in as great demand as
was the old Thessalian green MARBLE

A Plea for the Everrreens.

J. Sterling Morton, ex-secretary of ag-
riculture, in a published letter laments
the annual destruction Of young ever
green trees for Christmas use. What
especially reused the ire of Mr.. Morton
was the encroachment on his premises of
a thief who cut off two fine balsams that
be had set out, and he calls the man who
did it not only thief, but murderer. 1t
appears that over 10000 900 young ever
green's were chopped down last season
and put on the market. The market is
always Overstocked, and large numbers
of pines, spruces and hemlocks that might
have grown to be prides of the forest If
let alone, remain in and about the shops
to litter the walks and make fires for
2idlers in the fields after the holidays
have passed. '"The absurdity Of celebrat-
ing the birth of the Savior of the world
by wanton waste and extravaganza
which jeopardizes the welfare of millions
of human beings vet unborn is obvious
TO every thinking man." says Mr.. Nor
tom, Like the more outrageous murder
of the birds, this slaughter continues,
probably, remarks the Brooklyn Eagle,
because those who encourage it do so,
not from evil motives, but from mere I'M
intelligence and carelessness. ~ (. y,

The OriR,ou OF Tobacco.

The Prophet was taking a stroll in the
country when he saw serpent, stiff with
cold, lying on the ground. He compass
sionately took it up and warmed it in his
bosom. When the serpent had recovered,
it said:
divine Prophet, listen. am now 60
ing to bite thee"
why, pray?' inquired Mahomet.
Because thy race persecutes mine and
tries to stamp it out"
'But does not thy race, too, make per-
petual war against mine?" was the
Prophets rejoinder. ''How canst thus,
besides, be so ungrateful, and so soon
forget that saved thy life?'
There is no such thing as gratitude
upon this earth,'' replied the serpent,
"and if were now to spare thee, either
thou or another of thy race would kill me.
By Allah, shall bite thee
IF thou hast sworn by Allah, I will
not cause thee to break thy vow," said
the Prophet, holding his hand to the ser.
pent's mouth. The. serpent bit him, but
he sucked the wound with his lips and
spat the venom on the ground. And on
that very spot there sprang up a plant
which combines within itself the venom of
the serpent and the compassion of the
Prophet. Men call this plant by the name
of tobacco.-Conte Arabe,

French African Expedition Said TO be
Guilty of Astonishing Cruelty.
A grewsome account of the conduct of
the French expedition which has just
made its way to the Nile is given by one
of its members in private letter. He
says they impressed all their native por-
tiers and other help by force, in brief
seized and made slaves Of them: Then,
if any of them tried to escape, they shot
or hanged them. When they came upon
a village and found it deserted they set
it afre, whereupon the Inhabitants, who
were hiding near by, would come back
and try to extinguish the flames, thus
giving the French an opportunity to seize
some Of them to replenfsh their slave
train. The French would seize the chief
and tie him up until he furnished the
required number Of slaves. If they did
not succeed in calling any of the natives
within reach by incendiarism or other
means they simply looted the village. AT
night they kept as close watch upon
the slaves as possible, ''but they would
now and then all run away together, and
it was not easy to kill the whole lot."-

Smallpox Has Vanished.

The last weekly report of the United
States Marine Hospital Service records
the encouraging fact of only one case of
smallpox in the Northern states, and as
this is credited to last November it is
reasonable to infer that this section has
been entirely free from this disease dur
ing the whole winter. This, says the
Philadelphia Press, is most reassuring
situation considering the extent to which
this disease has prevailed in past win
tiers in large Northern cities. The CON
clusion is jutified that medical and SAM
tary science in this neighborhood has OBJ
tanned such control over the conditions
which produce this disease that it has
been nearly wiped out. The South has
been less fortunate. There are now re-
ported to be 543 cases of smallpox in the
Southern states. The climate there is
more favorable to the disease, but the
main causes of its spread are doubtless
the neglect of vaccination and the back
wardness of sanitary science. The South
should catch up in these matters and
then it will have less to fear from cpl

Amid the discomforts of life and
the fullness thereof, reaching to every
family, there is that which can so easily
mitigate or entirely cure, the wonder
Is why we endure and suffer 50 much.
From big pains to little aches, which
are the wear and tear of the physical
structure of man, there are always rem
edies good, better and best. The choice
should be always for best as the sures1
and the cheapest. In chronic or acute
suffering with rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica or lumbago, or with the minor
ailments of sprains and bruises, or Of
soreness and stiffness, the efficacy Of st
Jacobs Oil and the fullness thereof In -
many complete and perfect cures make
it stand out as the best remedy for pain.
Why, then, should we stand on the or
der of going for it, and not go at once?
In numberless cases the aggravations
of discomforts and pains are from de-
lay. Why should we suffer?
