The attention of those who are
disposed to slur at the patriotism of
the South, because its sons have not
fallen over each other to enlist for
imperialistic service in the Philip
pines, is respectfully called to the
official figures, which show that
Georgia furnished more volunteers
for the war with Spain, in proper
tion to population, than any other
state in the Union.

senger coaches. There Ia, however, less
wood work between the..eayes and top of
the windows, the space being given up
to the windows. which are higher than in
the ordinary cars. This is done that the
mountains may be better seen.
The interior of the car Is where the
most radical departure Is made from the
ordinary coaches. There is not a fixed
piece of furniture to be seen. but instead
the car Is lifted up with movable furni.
tuer. The chairs are of veranda pattern
and are light enough to be moved about
the car wherever desired. A rail extends
along either side of the car SO that those
who stand up may have no trouble in
keepingson their feet.
1t is understood that the coaches are to
be attached to the rear end of the regular
trains so that those who have become
tired OF viewing Ethe scenery may have
the ordinary Messenger cars to ride in If
they wish. The cars are of an entirely
new pattern and were designed by Mr..
Hanniford and Mr.. Brown.

the tree, however, is it's root. The root

from these, and then eat them. In

dangerous to working men as class.
We see poor people who can hardly
live on their wages, spending large
portion of their earnings for wine and
brandy, instead of using their money
to buy plenty of wholesome food,
which alone can give them strength
for their hard work" This is the con-
clusion of modern PSYCHOLOGISTS. 1t is
once more a question of prejudice and
delusion. Alcohol enters the body, re-
mains in the body as alcohol, and
leaves the body as alcohol, and is In
no sense a real stimulant. The appar-
ent exhilaration and stimulation pro-
duced by alcohol are due to its first
action and last for a short time only,
being quickly followed by depression
due to it's paralyzing influences.
DR.. C. L. Hamilton says that alco-
ho1 is included under the head OF mar
cotics and anesthetics, for, on account
OF it's paralyzing influences all author
tiles admit it's narcotic effect, and, in
deed, DR.. Bartholow, in his work on
Therapeutics treats Of alcohol under
that head, and no one will for mo-
ment deny that alcohol is decided an
esthetic and produces narcotism in this
way"

Patience with the Living.

Patience with the Living.
Sweet friend, when thou and are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
From comrade or from neighbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care
And done with all the signing
What tender ruth shall we have gained
Alas by simply dying?
Then lips too chary of their praise
VIII tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults to see
Shall no defects discover.
Then hands that would not lift stone
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above the pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend. perchance both thou and
Ere love is past forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living.
Todays repressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow:
Then patience, cen when keenest edge
May whet a nameless sorrowi
IT'S easy to be gentle when
Deaths silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamor;
But wise 1t were for thee and me,
Ere love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home
BE patient with the living.

Hunting Tigers in Persia.

The people of different countries
have different ways of hunting the
tiger. Traps, pitfalls, spring-guns and
nets are called into play. The Chinese
are said to employ the mirror to lead
the animal into trap. The tigers
curiosity is excited when he sees his
image in the glass, and he Immediately
proceeds to investigate the mystery.
The Persian manner of conducting the
hunt as this is described in Cham
bers' Journal, is more sportsmanlike.
A spherical, strongly woven bamboo
cage, with intervals of few inches
between the bars, is erected in some
spot near the haunts of the tiger. The
cage is firmly and securely picketed to
the ground. Inside, a man provided
with several sharp and powerful stab
bling spears, or with a keen and point
ed sword, takes his post at night with
a dog or a goat as his companion.
Then he wraps himself in his blanket
and goes to sleep.
In due time the tiger makes his ap-
pearance, the man is walked by his
four-footed companion, and after SNUFF
fing and prowling around the cage to
find an entrance, the tiger rears
against the walls.
The man instantly takes advantage
of the brute's unprotected position,
and with a resolute stroke of the
spear or the sword puts him to death.

A Curious Swiss Custom.

The tenacity with which Europeans
cling to ancient ways is seen in a curl
GUS custom which prevails at the pres
ent day in Basel, Swiss city of near
1y 100000 inhabitants. Horses being
very expensive in Switzerland, the mid
die classes cannot afford the luxury,
and when a young man becomes en-
gagged to be married he levies on one
Of his rich neighbors for a span.
Though he may not know the rich man
even by sight, he notifies him that he
wishes his carriage and footman to call
at his home at a specified time. He
then uses the conveyance to call with
his f1ancee upon everybody Of their
acquaintance. At the marriage the
same thing takes place again. It is
expected that the groom will give a
tip of from 81 to 81 to each goodman
so employed.
