The Morning News spells Savannah with
a big S, believes Georgia is in Chatham
county, regards her skies as bluer and
her breezes fresher than those OF any
other place on earth, and, in short, swears
by Savannah.-Albany Herald.
The News is right in doing so. The
Journal does and thinks the same way
about Reidsville and Tattnall county. A
paper that speaks out for its town end
county from January TO December in ev-
cry issue, and keeps every one of Its en-
ployes, from Office boy to managing ed
itor, everlastngly at work from early
morn till dewy eve booming its town and
county, is the most valuable piece of prop
erty any community can have.

The devil, dragon or octopus tree, as
it is variously called In the different
stories told of it, is one Of those travel

1t Is hardly necessary 30 say that
there is no such tree and that the story
has its origin in the dangers Of travers-

have received serious injuries from fall

where men are frequently attacked and
killed by serpents. The devil tree Is To-

while walking along saw pin on the

A Panama Hat.

The life of a panama hat-that is.

marked an admirer Of that style Of head
gear, compares somewhat with the
life of the owner of it. One can run

fully kept, panama hat should last

Washington who has owned and steadi-

An Errat,s writer.

When Thomas Bailey Aldrioh was q
small salaried clerk in George W.
Carleton's book store on Broadway, Fitz
James O'Brien was in the habit of
dropping in to see him, and one day
came in rather more than half seas
over. Aldrich decided to take him
across the street to hotel and put him
to bed. Cautiously and carefully he led
O'Brien, but before he had got half
way across a friend stopped him and
asked: "Why do you want to bother
with the fellow. Let him go. 81 will
not, replied Aldrich. HE borrowed a
dollar from me few days ago, and l
can't afford to let anything happen to
him"
At another time, when he was not
strictly sober, O'Brien found himself
out Of funds. He wandered into pub
lisher's office and asked for $50. This
was refused him. Angrily seizing a
placard O'Brien reversed 1t and made

course requested to desist, but nothing

Sung Them TO Liberty.

In Marohesi and Music, the famous
singing teacher tells this anecdote to
illustrate the nobility of heart Of Rus
sian woman, one of her pupils, and a
native Of Nijni-Novgorod, where the
great fair Is held every year.

and dramatic power, at Moscow, St

that she was 70 be presented with valu-

instead of being spent on her, should be
used to buy the liberty of several female

On the benefit night, after Nadine
had sung, the seven negresses went upon
the stage to thank the artistic for their
freedom. The crowded house applauded
for several minutes; the national hymn
was played; the emperor, Dom Pedro,
rose and with him the whole audience,
and the songstress knew a moment of
thrilling JOY such as seldom comes to

Stronger Than Oak.

Foot bridges in Morocco that are used
for heavy traffic have been the subject
Of much concern to the engineers Elm
planks on oak stringpieces were the ma
terials employed, but these wore out so
rapidly that return to the old style Of
building was proposed. This consisted
of cables made from the fiber of the
aloe. These cables are plated and twist
ed from fiber and are nearly two inches
thick and 81 inches wide. They are
saturated with tar and firmly nailed to
oak planking. The ends are fastened by
iron straps. These cables make most ad-
mirable footpaths They are sufficiently
elastic to be pleasant under the feet,
and experience has demonstrated that
they are far more durable than any ma
terial heretofore applied for this pur-
pose.

Tit-tat-tO.

In the Century Dictionary the deriva-
ton is given from tit, tat, to, three
meaningless words" used in counting.
However, the East Friesio name (see
Koolman's "E. FIR. Dict. y is tik-tak-
TUX, evidently a more original form. In
this name the word tik has the same
sense as E, tick, mark, in allusion to
the mark made by the player on the
slate, while TAX, TUX, are variants Of
the same theme, made on the principle
Of altering the vowel, as in Germanic
verbs Of the third strong conjugation,
such as sing, sang, sung.
Hence the name is by no means
meaningless, but has an obvious ref
erence to the ticks, or marks, made by
the players, and the word is threefold
instead of reduplioated, because the OBJ
3ect of the game is to make three ticks
in a row.-Notes and Queries.
