HEAVY BET ON BRYAN.

Having full faith in his judgment,
formed after close observation of con-
ditions, Col. w. 81. Dewey, OF Idaho,
has made cash wager of $50, 900 that

Dewey is a Massachusetts, Yankee, but
years ago settled in Idaho, where he
became wealthy. Col. Dewey says:
"My Impressions of the election
were not formded from newspaper re-
ports but from personal observation.

mated have been IN thirteen States

YOUNG MEN IN THE KITCHEN.

A young man of Syracuse, New York,
fitted himself to do general Homework
with unusual thoroughness and after
wards took full course at cooking
school. lie is said to be highly accom-
plished in whatever relates to house
work, from washing, ironing and scrub
b1ng to the preparation of the most
dainty dishes. His hours of work are
from a. M. to p, NJ, and he pledges
himself to do as much in that time as
any three hired girls, though his terms
are only So week, with board. OF
course he is in great requisiton by
house wives. The most remarkable feat
ure of the case is the cheap price the
young man works for, as with
natural taste and aptitude for cookery
it seems that he could effect an engage
ment as a chef in q swell family with
a saIay of two or three thousand dol
lars or even more. His example is
being followed by number of other
young men in Central New York and
if the average servant girl, white or
black, with her incompetency and utter
lack of interest IN her employers well
fare shall be crowed out of the field
she will be entitled to no sympathy. II
is affirmed that the young man Of
America has no longer an opportunity
to learn trade and small chance Of
entering into business on his own &C
count, and hence 10 reduced to the ne
cessity of thus unsexing himself, as il
were.-New Orleans States.

The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says:
Groom corn is quoted at 800 per ton
in Illinois. Georgia quotations are not
at hand, owing, perhaps, to the fact
that there are SO few factories in the
state to consume this commodity,
Why would not the raising of broom
corn be profitable to Georgians? Even
if there are no home factories to con-
sumo it, would there not be profit in
it to ship it to Illinois at 800 per tonP

Graphophones are particularly adapted
to out-of-dcor use, and are, therefore,
specially available for lawn parties and
all out door gatherings at the summer
home. When the atmosphere is sitting
indoors and the energy is lacking with
which to entertain family and friends,
the Graphophone stands ready and
willing to delight and cheer with its
melody, story and song. It will be the
iolliest member of the jolliest party,
sing rag-time coon songs IN inimitable
fashion, tell the most clever and side
splitting hay-seed stories, or entertain
with the latest march or familiar oper-
attic selection. A big stock of Graphic
