Money We Spent We'll.

Complaint is made that we Ameri-
cans spend S2e,OOO,O0O year upon
amusements. But why not? rs II
not the amusement worth the money
to an overworked and constltutionaily
too serious people?
We are growing such crops as no
body ever heard OF before. We are
selling not only our grain and cotton
and meat, but our manufactured goods
our steel, our iron, our machinery and
the like abroad to such an extent that
economists are actually feeling app,e-
hension lest we grow rich too fast.
Why should we not see plays aud
buy pictures and decorate our habita-
tions and in other ways tighten our
lives at cost that we can abundantly
afford? Why should we not laugh?
Why should we not cultivate the finer
and softer side of our characters?
What is money for If this is not good
use to make OF it?--New York World.

CHIRoPoDIST CALLED DOWN.
The UnfeelinG Manner in Which an
Itinerant Faker Was Exposed
by a Heartless Druggist.

He was exceedingly seedy in appear

told more plainly than words of his
frequent dalliance with the cup that
both cheers and intoxicates. He had q
small glass bottle in his hand as he en-
tered barber shop in which the Saun-
terer was seated, waiting his turn.

plaster in the world, the seedy one be-
gan, "and l have also some examples in
this bottle of the wonderful work II
can do. If anybody ever saw larger
,corns with more roots on them I'll
throw up the sponge. Look 'em over,
gents"
I! In the first chair happened to be a
wcll-known druggist, who is something
lof joker. Taking the bottle from the
itinerant chiropodist's hand, he pre-
tended to examine it's contents with q
great deal of interest, the owner of the
bottle, scenting possible customer, ex'
ipatiating upon the remarkable virtues
of his plasters. When he had exhaust
ed his fund of adJectives he wound ul
with: "Well, what do you think oi
those corns, sir?"
The druggist gravely handed the bot
tie back.
"rhey are certainly fine, very fine,
he replied. II never saw bigger ones
but"
"But what?" eagerly interrupted the
chiropodist.
'But I'd like to know who made ZEN
for your"

1t took year or more to complete it.
The transfer required the service of Is
extra men daily at three dollars day
each, or $45 day for year. In addi-
ton to all this some 12 or Is men have
to be employed day and night to watch
the boarded mass.
Thus each transfer from one superin7
tendent to another has cost the govern
ment about $4,000, the handling over
$4,000 and the boxing over $500, to
say nothing of the other heavy incident
al expenses, such as the watching. To
coin the silver bullion costs the govern
ment only one cent for each dollar, but
to guard it and protect it are tremen-
dously expensive. For instance, among
the details Of transferring the silver
from one superintendent to another
are the employment of two counters

A RACE OF DWARFS.
Peculiar People That Live mt the
Eastern End of the Pyrenees
Mountains.

Prof. Miguel Marazta has made what
seems curious anthropological discov-
cry in the valley OF Rebas (Gerona), at
the end of the eastern Pyrenees. There
exists in this district a somewhat nu-
merous group Of people, who are called
Nanos (dwarfs) by the other inhab-
itants, and, as a matter of fact, are not
more than four feet in height. Their
bodies are fairly well built, hands and
feet small, shoulders and hips broad,
making them appear more robust than
they really are. Their features are SO
peculiar that there is no Inistaking
them among others. All have red hair;
the face is as broad as long. with high
cheek bones, strongly developed jaws
and fiat nose. The eyes are not horizon:
tai, but somewhat oblique, like those of
Tartars and Chinese. few struggling
weak hairs are found in place of beard.
The skin is pale and fabby. Men and
women are so much alike that the sex
can only be told from the clothing
Though the mouth Is large, the lips do
not quite cover the large, projecting
ineisors. The Nnnos, who are the butt
OF the other inhabitants, live entirely
by themselves in Rebas. They inter-
marry only among themselves, so that
their peculiarities continue to be re-
produced. Entirely without education,
and without any chance of improving
their condition, they lead the life of
pariahs. They know their own names,
but rarely remember those of their par
ents, can hardly tell where they live
and have no idea of numbers.-Bir-

Cat-Rearinx Rabbits.

During the unearthing of some rab-
bits at Barmston two newly-born bum
nies were discovered, and the rector,
who was present, not liking to destroy
them, took them home TO his cat, which
had recently had kittens. The cat is
now rearing the rabbits, for which she
shows every affection, and they dis
play the utmost confidence in their
strange foster parent. London Leader.

Verdict of Coroner,s Jurx

The coroner held an inquest on the charred remains of Coleman and rendered the simple verdict, Death at the hands of a mob" II
 The body was left lying there, and has not been removed. Relic hunters took away teeth and bones and flesh, and every frag- ment of the body that they could lay their hands on. All the afternoon children, some of them not more than six years old, kept up the fires on the blackened body by throwing grass, kindling wood, brush, bits of boards and everything oombustfble that they could gather. This they kept up until dark It is related that Coleman, before committing his crime, threw pepper into his victims eyes from pepper box. One of the mob used that same pepper box to- day to throw pepper into Coleman's eyes as soon as he was lashed to the stake To make sure of good job, he held open one eyelid after the other and peppered them successively, and then drew the lids down.
 In this city the action of the mob is unI- Versally approved.

EAST LAKE POLITICS
Senatorial Fight Injected Into Beat
 Committeemanship

A movement is in progress at East Lake to form a club, the object of which shall be to work in the interest of the reelection of Senator Morgan. Enthusiastic, though conservative, supporters of the senator are agitating the matter and there seems to be no reason to doubt that such a club will be shortly formed.
 Another matter in this connection is ex- citing great deal of interesting at East Lake. This has to do with that beats member of the county democratic executive committee. Professor R. J.

 B. Officials Here ;.

The question of tariff rates on hay in carload and less than carload lots will be taken up by the general freight agents of the railroads in this section at an early date
 A meeting of the general freight agents was to have been aeld in this city Tues day, but for some cause it was called off and will probably Be held one day next Week, though no date has yet been fixed. The question of rates on hay grew out or complaints made by Birmingham feed dealers to the effect that they could not supply the trade in Birmingham territory with the existing rates on less than car load lots. The matter was referred to the general agents, and they now have it un- der consideration. Hay in carload lots is put in class D, and in less than carload lots it is in the fifth class.
 Another matter to be considered at the meeting of the general freight agents is the re-classification of the manufactured prod ucts of iron. These products have not for several years come under any of the reg uiar classfiications, but with pig iron were given what is known as special iron rates. 1his was a concession made to the iron manufacturers several years ago. and the order has never been revoked It is ex- peeted that about half of the products will De returned to their regular classlfcations.
