A BOER COURTSHIP.

There is something comic in the way
a boer manages his love-making, says
an exchange. Having asked the per-
mission of his father to court a certain
damsel in the neighborhood he pro-
eeeds to buy the most strikingly-dec-
Grated and loudly-colored saddle cloth
for his steed that he can possibly OBJ
tain. Having made his preparations he
mounts his most spirited horse and
journeys to the lady's home, but in
stead of seeking out the object OF his
affections he respectfully asks leave
of her father to court her. The old
man cautiously re:rains from answer
ing, but. consults his wife, and the
youth joins the younger members Of
the household. No further notice is
taken of the sutton for the rest of the
day, but if the parents approve, when
the rest of the household retire for the
night the mother solemnly approaches
the young man and maiden with a long
tallow candle in her hand. This she
places on the table and lights, and
then, having taken an affectionate
farewell of the couple, she retires This
is a sign to the lover that his suit is
acceptable. AS long as the candle lasts
the young couple are allowed to sit up
and talk.

HOW THEY LIVE IN WIREGRASS.

The ease with which the people of
the wiregrass country live is a stand
ing invitation for the people of other
sections to immigrate From the
Rochelle New Era we learn that wild
turkeys strut around ambitious of the
pot. One prominent citizen, while out
in the woods looking after his bust
ness, took his gun and decided to go to
a place he had baited a week before
for wild turkeys, thinking perhaps he
might happen to the good fortune of
getting a shot at one. He stopped
about thirty-five or forty yards before
reaching the spot baited and waited
patiently for a few minutes, and in
about ten minutes a fine gobbler came
to the place, and before the hunter
could raise his gun and take aim, an
other came, and they kept coming I'M
til there were five in the bunch. This
was more than he could stand, and.
taking deliberate aim, he fired, killing
four fine gobblers. The fifth one ran
off and the captor is confident he
wounded him. He took his game home
and the first thing he did was to
weigh them and the gross weight was
"A pounds. The largest one after be-
ing dressed weighed "a pounds He is
now the champion turkey killer of the
wiregrass and the fellow that gets
around him has got to do some mighty
tall" shooting. This Is but a sample
Of what goes on every day, and it
shows that Georgia is the best land
yet.-Atlanta Constitution.

furthermore, that all was made at once
without natural process, and have
remained substantially unchanged
ever since. This is the old doctrine OF
the supernatural origin and substan-
tial permanency of the earth and its
features. Among intelligent and es-
pecially scientific men this doctrine,
even in the eighteenth century, began
to be questioned, although not pub
licly; for in 1851 Button was compelled
by the Sorbonen to retract certain
views concerning the age of the
earth, published in his Natural His
tory in 1T49. Remnants of the old be-
lief fingered even into the early part
of the present century, and may even
yet be found hiding away in some of
the remote corners of civilized coun-
tries. But with the birth of geology,
and especially tn ough the work OF
Hutton in Scotland, Cuvier in France,
and William Smith in England, the
much greater-the conceivably great
antiquity of the earth and the origin
OF Its present forms, by gradual
changes which are still going on, was
generally acknowledged. Indeed, as
ALREADY said this is the fundamental
idea of geology, without which il
could not exist as science.--From
Prof. Joseph Lee Conte in Appletons'
Popular Science Monthly.

GAS ENGINE SUPPLIES ELECTRIC
ITY,

Electrical supply was inaugurated
some years ago with a station equip
ment of boiler, steam engine and
dynamo, and, as above noted, the cur
rent-generating, Transforming, and
distributing machinery has increased
to, three and even four times the rate
OF energy output. In addition, the
length, weight, and cost of transmit
ting and distributing conductors, per
unit of electric supply, has multiplied
several times. These great additions
to electrical equipment have resulted
from the requirements of steam-power
generation. Economy In steam-power
production involves the largest prac-
ticable production of energy at a single
point; this necessitates that service be
made to consumers at long distances
from the main plant. Another form of
prime mover has, however, for years
been growing In Importance, now
rivals the steam engine. and may In
the future largely displace IL, by reason
of superior economy In fuel. This new
motive power is the gas engine. Re-
cent developments in gas-englne prae-
tice and in the production OF fuel gaa
have demonstrated an efficiency for the
combined producer and engine. In
brake horse-powers per pound of coal
consumed. which Is much better than
the best performance Of the steam boil
er and engine There Ia good reason In
think, therefore, that the steam engine,
having rached the maximum efficiency
OF which 1t is capable, through 10
range of temperature, will gradually
be displaced by the gas engine.-Altoa
