sorts to be found. Just now we are
having a series of golf games, and
some of the most expert players in the
country are taking part. Young Whit

for the winter. as also have a number
of other owners of fast horses. 1t is
no hard matter to witness a cooking

Mr. J. d. Collins, of Charlotte. y. c.,
said last night at Wizards: II have

Already our people are beginning to-
talk of the coming peach crop" said
Mr. ]. W. Biggers, of Macon. Ga, at
Willard's last night. Every year this
has been demonstrated that as fine
peaches can be raised In Georgia as in
any State in the Union. The crop is
now worth fully half million dollars
to the growers. Our watermelon crop |
is big thing. too and few growers |

VACCINATION.
The State Board Of Health Calls Attention
to the Law.

DR.. 4. g. Young, Secretary of the
State Board of Health, Is sending out to
the local boards circulars on vaccination,
it's benefits, and the State law compelling
it, which reads thus:
"The board of health Of each city, vii
lage, town or plantation shall annually,
on the first day of March. or oftener If
they deem 1T prudent, provide for the free
vaccination with the COW pox, of all the
inhabitants ovsr two years of age, with
in their respective localities, to be done
under the care of skilled practicing ply
sicians, and under such circumstances
and restrictions as said authorities adopt
therefor.
1t will be observed that the matter of
providing, or of not doing so, Is not left
discretionary with local boards of health,
except SO far as concerns the question OF
vaccinating at shorter intervals than
once year, but it is obligatory with To-
cal boards to provide for free vaccination
at least once every year.
In the opinion of the State Board of
Health it is very important that there be
a strict compliance with the provisions
of this act. An unvaocinated community
is constantly in danger of an expensive
and life-destroying outbreak of small pox
rs the result of chance introduction of
its contagion. In the pact there have
been too many disastrous small pox out
breaks due to the neglect of vaccination.
OF late years our comparative exemption
has been simply good luck-merely mat.

Then the long gap is ended, and we see
q photograph of two creatures not recog-
niZable as the same we saw in the first
DAYS of the expedition. Years seemed to
have passed over the countenance. The
skin Is cut end Iacerated and scanned with
hurns and slashes The hair is burnt to
the scalp, the beard is singed to powder,
eyebrows and lashee burnt to the quick,
and the eyes two CHASTITY Sits. OF the
rescue just u few hours before life must
have been extinct, when no food or water
had been had for three days, we can but
read with admiration or the men who,
hearing from some trading Thibetans
that far in the interior a white man was
to be beheaded, organized a relief party,
thinking to procure at least the mutilated
body and any of the precious outfit that
could be extracted from the murderers.
T, this party belonged DR.. Wilson, Mr..
Larkin and tho Political Ieshkar, Karak
Singh Pal the nephew of Rajiwar of
Askote BY forced marches, and after
many thrilling escapes from treaoherous
guides and adventures, which well nigh
cost them their lives, these three men at
last reached the two sufferers. AS mas
been said MIR. Laudor was within rev
hourssof death. His reason was already
gone, and only by the most prompt action
was he kept alive. After three hours of
attention he had so far regained con.
sciou sness that he was able to tell where
he had concealed one of the cameras, and
on it's being recovered he caused to be
taken, for he could not take it himself, "a
photographer the savnges covering in
their terror of the avenging white men.
Never for q moment during all the hor-
rible time did Mr.. Landor forget that all
that he was able to procure of photo
graphs and sketches were OF immense in
terest. Up to the moment of capture he
had kept his diary complete, and after
that time each hour was impressed with
hideous vividness upon This mind. By
slow stages he was carried to Almora.
and there after three days he had SO far
recovered that he was able to dispatch
runners tosthe nearest station with news
and letters home. The outfit which had
been confiscated was given up, and the
precious diary and maps and surveys
were secured. Many of the instruments
which had been provided by the Royal
Geographical society he had been obliged
| to bury in the Himalayas, and there they
still awaitlthe time. when some brave man
will recover them. Mr.. s.Landor himself
will probably never be able to return.

The colonel had got home just in

between Jessica and the man she had
dealt with summarily on the Red Wing,
but did not III the least know what to

She had courteously relegated him to
the study to await her fathers return,
and there the colonel had found him,
nervous, but resolute in his purpose of
making clean breast of it.
Into the tragic story Of his colossal
folly he had plunged without an extern

THE USEFUL RUBBER BAND.
(From the Washington Starr

"We use hundreds of them every day
whereas formerly we used Irvine. The
manufacture of rubber bands has become
an enormous industry in this country
particularly during the past few years.
Is not half dozen years ago hardly
that rubber bands were used almost sole
ly for filing papers and documents and you
seldom saw them used outside of city
hall or court house. Now you will scarce
ly,find a drug store or grocery that does
not use them more or less In place OF
Irvine in putting up the smaller packages:
"In the drug business the rubber band
has become almost an Indispensable artl-
Gle. A band may be adjusted about
package in one-third OF the time that IL
takes to wind the Irvine around and
break it off as in the old way. And then
the package can be made more symmet-
rical than by the old method. Often In
using Irvine one gets the package all out
of shape and a clerk who is interested in
his work does not like to allow package
to leave his hands in such condition.
Still it can't, be avoided when onelis IN
