PATRIOTISM IN GERMANY.
The Pleasant Way in which the
Sentiment Is Taught the
Youth I'm School

In Germany they teach patriotism In
the popular schools; in England we do
not--at any rate, not officially, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. In Germany the
kaiser's birthday, the anniversary of
Sedan, and other national landmarks
are celebrated In the national schools
They have feasts and music and excur-
sions; but the children have kept clear
ly before their eyes the reason for their
rejoicings. Indeed, the law impresses
upon parents and chis6ren that all vol.
untary absence from these school feasis
is an offense. There were parents who
kept their children back, especially
from the Sedan commemoration, and
this on conscientious grounds. But now
mo longer; for" says the magistrute,
''any unexcused absence from patriotic
festivals established by the school Shall
be considered as voluntary non-attend-
ance, and inspectors, teachers and the
authorities concerned are hereby in
structed to this effect" M
Patriotism IA pedagogue, perhaps.
but patriotism none the less; and the
children of great empire might per-
haps do well to take leaf out Of book
made in Germany. Let us imagine the
astonishment Of the English child if he
were told that he was to have a holiday
and fete for the sake of some great
event in our own history. But Germany
has these patriotic school feasts, and
France the emblem of the republic in
every schoolroom, because they actual
ly imagine the patriot is made as well.

~
A few years ago gentleman from
Boston who was spending a few days
in Marietta was greatly interested in
these relics of an unknown race. After
visiting the elevated square, the
mound, ETC., he expressed a wish to
see the wonderful Covert Way" I'm
agine his surprise and disgust when he
was informed that the Covert Way"
had been concerted into bricks! =,
This shameful act of vandalism was
done by order of the town council OF
Marietta and is lasting disgrace. 1t
seems to me that council composed
of women, weak and inefficient as they
aie said to be, would have hesitated
some time before deciding to destroy
the Covert Way" tN

Some time ago beautiful old tree,
one of the landmarks of our city, was

A woMAN's CLUB PROPOSITION.
The Atlanta Woman's Club has made
a proposition to the Municipal Govern
ment to take the contract for cleaning
the streets. The women who are in
terested do not criticise the work done
by the city Sanitary Department. but
they believe they can do the work for
less money than is now expended.
The club has three hundred members
and rs they are very much in earnest
in their desire to. secure the contract,
it will not be surprising If they succeed.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you can not get a better price for it?
 Ans.--As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the bet ter, 10 that while our profits may be smaller on single sale they will be much greater in the aggregate.
 How can you get the public to know your make is the besto
 If both articles are brought promi- nently before the public both are cer- tain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgement on them and use only the better one.
 This explains the large sale on Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasionally take up some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are cer- tain to return to the one remedy that they know to be reliable. and for coughs. colds and croup there is noth- ing equal to Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy.

Thomas Hood.

Hood S position in literature has been
affected by the circumstance that he
did two things excellentIy which in
the general view are incompatible, in
which case popular opinion generally
fixes on the inferior gift as representing
the writer's real capacity. He was a
funny man" as we'll as lyric poet of
real quality and earnest aims and was
so admirable and original in the former
and more abundant character that it
probably caused many to regard the
serious verse as merely an ambitious
bid for reputation it was not in the
writer's power to achieve. Hood doubt
less helped to strengthen this impress
sion by practically ceasing to produce
serious poetry for some 10 years of his
short life. But that this was due to
necessity for finding ready market for
his wares is, think, beyond a doubt

$3.50 REWARD.
The Ha88ard Specific Comply.

Will give three boxes of their Specific
Tablets, worth $3.50, to anyone who may
have used as much as one box of their
tablets without decided benefit. We
have never heard of a single case where
the tablets have failed to give satisfactory
results, and if there is person to be
found who has used them without bene-
fit we want to know who he is and where
to find him. They never fail to cure
kidney and bladder troubles and affec-
tons of the genital organs and overcome
all debility and weakness in both men
and women. They improve the appetite,
aid digestion and assimilation and over
come constipation. They have vital eff
feet on all of the secretOry organs and es-
tablish healthy condition of the mu-
cOus and gland secretions in every part
of the body; overcome all torpid condi-
tons of the Capillaries and secure per-
feet circulation of the blood, so that ev-
cry organ is supplied and every function
is normal and healthy. Being the only
remedy ever compounded that fully
meets the logical physiological conditions
of the human system, it is no wonder
that they give results unknown to medi-
cal science. No matter if the doctors
and all remedies have failed, try the
Tablets and be convinced that they are
superior to all known remedies. Their
effect on the nerve centers is complete
surprise to physicians who have used
them Cases that have baffled the skill
of best physicians and no remedies seem
ed to benefit have been promptly con-
trolled and permanently cured by the
Tablets. Cases where injections of
morphine have been resOrted to as the
only means Of even temporary relief have
been promptly controlled By the Tablets
and the trouble completely overcome by
their use. Price one box 81 90, three
boxes $3.50. This wonde full remedy is

A GEORGIA HEN COOP.
IT Was Sure Proof -....,,aiifist tho ynroads Of

Outsiders.
"There isn't a more faithful being ON
earth, - said Georgia business man to
a reporter, ethan one of our Georgia
darkies. Neither is there one more su
perstltioEs, nor yet again is there one
who loves better the products of the
hen coop. And Gainesville isn't any diff
ferent from any one of hundred south
ern towns. When | was down there
some time ago, a customer of mine who
had fancy for chickens and who had
always had more or less trouble in
maintaining ownership of them told me
he had remedy and asked me to so
around with him and see Il. wanted
him to tell me what it was, but he in
sisted on my seeing it first so | went
along with him, and III Few minutes
was standing in his back yard before
what was to me the oldest chicken
coop | ever saw. 1t was constructed of
large timbers and there were a dozen
places in its walls where hand could
be run in and everything cleaned out
within reach. Then there was no fas-
tening on the door, nor was there any
kind of protection to the fowls. /
couldn't understand how such an in
viting snap could be Of any use to the
owner and said as much.
The charm is in the timber, said
he.
mo, said T.
Fact, just the same, said he. You
don t see it on the outside and you don t
know it, but the darkies around here
do, and they won't come within 100
yards of that coop if they can help it.
don't care how full of chickens it is.
Cause why? 1t is built of the timbers
of a gallows on which man was hung
about three months ago in another coun-
ty. 1t cost me something extra to get it,
but it has more than paid for itself
since l have had it, and l am in the
market now to buy all the secondhand
scatfolds in Georgia. If you run across
sheriff any place with one for sale, let
me know by next mail, won't you,
please?'
1t was true bill" concluded the
travelling man, "for I saw a darby
tried on it, and he refused big silver
dollar to go down to the coop to get a
chicken for breakfast. ~ Washington

nlVTlNZAS FULL OF MISERY.
,-prTEN THOUSAND PEOPLE
,,-,ruorT FOOD OR CLOTHING.
:, 400 of the UnfOrtunates Live in
t,e streets of the City Absolutely
without Homes or Shelter.

An associated press dispatch from
,,nriaro de Cuba says: While the
Irnitad States cruiser Montgomery was
=. vaptanzas recently a board of officers
ras appointed to inquire into the condi-
.;or If the people of that province. The
r.oort in substance SETS forth that there
ora $4,000 people absolutely without
sood and clothing within the city limits.
lbopt 8. 900 of these live in small huts
ofnaIm branches. The other 1000 un-
sor,poates live in the streets of the city
ood are absolutely without home or
shelter
These $4,000 people have been driven
;r,o the city from their country homes,
which have been destroyed in the war
onorations. Most of them are women
and children, and they are all emaciated,
sick and almost beyond relief unless
tbev can have the benefit of regular
treatment in hospitals. AS 1t is they
are diving in the streets for want of
food
According to statistics gathered from
the best sources, the number of deaths
in tbe province of Mantanzas from star
yatIOn is $4,000, and the number of
starving present in the province is esti-
natee at 98,0 900, out of a total popula-
ton of 2j3, GIG in December, 1897, and
the number of starving people is rapidly
increasing.
In the city of Mantanzas alone there
have been about 1000 deaths during
The past year, and the number is increas-
ing daily.
The death rate at present averages 46
per day, as shown by the reports from
the cemetery. The increase in the death
rate is due to the fact that the distress
is DO longer confined to the laboring
class, most Of whom have already per-
ished. 1t has extended to those people
who before the war were in moderately
comfortable circumstances. Those who
are now begging in the stree were in
the large part well-to.do people. In adj
dit Il the citizens of the city Of Mantan-
zaS themselves are beginning to suffer
for the actual necessaries of life, having
drained their resources in order t. SUI
ply the needs of the laboring cass who
have been thrust upon them.
The three relief places iu the city of
Manmnzas do not begin TO adequately
supply food to the $4,000 people who
are there starving in the streets, for the
citizens are only able to issue food three
times a day at each place and then to
only about three hundred at a time.
Consequently only about 900 of the des-
ante receive food once a day.
