Recruiting Is Progressing Rapidly.

CH1CKAMAUGA, June 21.-The most
important happening of today at Camp
Thomas was the arrival of General
Healy and staff of New York topay the
troops Of that state for the time they
were in service before being mustered in
as United States volunteers. General
Healy has long been expected and anx-
iously awaited by the New Workers. and
his arrival was the signal for unbounded
enthusiasm. Several hundred more re-
cruits arrived this morning. The ar.
rivals yesterday numbered nearly 500.
The recruiting work isprogressing much
more rapidly tina Il expected, all the regi
ments filling up fast. Efforts are now
being made to perfect the guard service
at the park as rapidly as possible.

The Nonchalant Canton Merchant.

Frequently on entering a Canton
shop you will find it's owner with a
book in one hand and pipe or fan in the
other and wholly absorbed in his studies.
You will be doomed to disappointment
if you expect the smoker to start up at
once, all smiles and %blandness, rubbing
his hands together as he makes a shrewd
guess as to what he is likely to take out
of you and receiving you with obse-
quiousness or with rudeness according
ly. Quite the reverse.
Your presence is apparently unnoticed
unless you happen to lift anything.
Then you hear that the fan has been ar
rested and feel that a keen eye is bent
on your movements all the while. But
it is not until you inquire for some ar
ticle that the gentleman, now certain
that you mean to trade, will rise with
out hustle from his seat, show you his
goods or state the price he means tc
sell at, with a polite yet careless all
which plainly says, IF it suits you, We
make an exchange. "-''Ihrough China

Her Idea of 1t.

Journalism For Women" a book
recently published in England, relates
a story Of a woman journalist in the
north of England who wrote to a Lon
don paper for permission to act as its
special correspondent during the visit OF
some royal personages to her town The
editor Of the paper, knowing her for a
good descriptive writer, gave the neces-
sary authority, with explicit informa-
ton as to the last moment for receiving
copy. The moment came, but not tile
p and the editor had to go to press
without it. The next day, no explana.
ton having arrived, he dispatched tc
his special correspondent a particularly
scathing and scornful letter. Then came
the excuse. 1t was long, but the root OF
it amounted to exactly this:
II was SO knocked up and had such
a headache after the ceremonies were
over that | really did not feel equal to
the exertion OF writing. l thought it
would not matter"

Where They Marry to Kill Time.

One strange feature of Australia So
cial life is the perfectly casual way in
which men marry for no ostensible pur-
pose except the purpose Of vanishing
YEARLY around the corner Immediately
after the ceremony. In a Sydney case
now on hand the husband, it is alleged,
married in 1894 and shortly afterward
made his tired, Indifferent exit around
the corner and never came back. LII
1896 he married again and Immediately
faded away up the street. He never llv-
ed with his second wife. When he was
arrested on a charge Of aggravated har-
EN-, he offered no explanation whatever.
Apparently he only did it because a tel
low must do soniething.-Sydney Bul,

A Cardinals Stories.

"I'm afraid l can't tell you," III
swered Cardinal Wiseman on some Il
asking the names Of several choice
plants on the table. II am often as
much puzzled by botanical nomencla-
ture as the old lady who said she
couldn't remember all the old Latin
names. The only two she had been allie
to retain were aurora borealis and de-
lirium tremens.
The cardinal thoroughly enjoyed hu-
mOrOus stories and often told them at
his table. Il have seen Father Faber,"
writes the author Of 'Social Hours
With Celebrities" sat the cardinals
table, laugh till the tears rolled down
his face
A story which the cardinal enjoyed
much was that Of an Irishman, who,
while taking a barge up the Shannon,
was asked what goods he had on board,
and answered, Climber and fruit"
"What ki,sd Of timber and what SOFT
Of fruit?:'
"Well, an if ye must know, the tim
Der is just birch brooms, and the fruit,
well, it's pretaties.'
An LriShman averred that the habit
of Irish landlords of living outside OF
Ireland was the great grievance IRELAND
had to complain Of.
ooh, yes" answered an Englishman,
"that's the old stalking horse. / don
believe in your absentees.

with me, and I'll show ye 'em by the
hundred. Why, the country just swarm

Told on Kentucky Legislators.

A member Of the late Legislature from
southern Kentucky was invited one
evening to participate in a Welsh rab-
bit lunch at the Capitol hotel. Diking
himself out, he awaited the hour. With
that prince Of good fellows, Tut Bur,
man, he walked into the dining room,
where coffee and rabbits were served
standing. After partaking OF one or two
and a cup of coffee, he remarked tC
Tut: "This is no rabbit. It's nothing
but fried cheese and light bread" 1t
is useless to say that member never at.
tended any more lunches.
On another occasion the assembly
balls or germans, which were given ev,

Why Elephants Fear Mice.

It seems incredible that SO small and
harmless an animal as a mouse is able
to frighten an elephant almost out of
his senses, One little mouse III the hay
on which they are feeding will stam-
pede an entire herd. In their native
land there are little animals, known as
chacanas, which feed on a small, sour
berry of which elephants are very fond.
They live in settlements, something
after the manner Of prairie dogs, under
the berry bushes.
When feeding, the elephants trample
the little towns, and the chacanas, in
their fright, run up the tubes Of the ele-
plants trunks. Their long, sharp claws
catch in the flesh, and they cannot be
elected. The more violently the mon
ster blows through it's coi1ed trunk the
more firmly the hooked claws Of the lit
tie animal become imkedded i'll the flesh.
Inflammation and death are the result.
In captivity the elephants think they
are in danger of the deadly chacanas
when they see a mouse New York
Sun.

only Ono Boot to c1e.n.

The French soldier is as easy to lead
as a child. His cheerfulness and gay
philosophy enable him to endure the
greatest hardships without a murmur.
All he wants is justice. When he has
received his provisions, he straightway
goes to weigh his meat, his bread, his
coffee, his sugar, eve his salt. All he
wants is his due, and if he finds that he
has not received short weight he is sat-

clean. "Cheer up, my boy" l said to
him, "no more fighting for you. They

In France it is illegal IT, capture frogs
Odors.

Some smells are dangerous. A single
sniff Of highly concentrated prussic acid
will kill a man as quickly as a shot
through the heart. The odor of a bad
egg is due to the presence of sulphuret-
ed hydrogen, and the objectionable
perfumes of sewers and bone factories
are attributable chiefly to tae same gas.
Chemical laboratories are famous for
bad smells. Berzelius, who discovered
the element called "selenium, once
tried the experiment Of permitting a
bubble of pure hydrogen selenide gas to
enter his nostril. For days afterward he
was not able to smell strong ammonia,
the olfactory nerves being temporarily
paralyzed. Selenium gas has the odor
of putrid horse radish. Tellurium is
even worse. There is a story OF a physi-
clan whose patient, a lady, refused to
take an absolutely necessary rest be-
cause she was so fond Of being always
on the go in society. He gave her a pill
containing a small quantity Of telluri-
um, and her breath was affected by it
to such an extent that she was not able
to appear in public for a month. She
never guessed what the trouble was.
