AtIania's Carshed War.

Atlanta has long wanted and often demanded a new union station, an en- larged carshed in the vernacular, and it has not got it. The State could not build a new carshed; the railroads would not; and events were fast drifting back to the situation as it existed be- fore the agitation was begun, when the health board suddenly appeared on the scene The board had been studying, it is plain the hatchet record of Mrs. Ma tion, for as soon as it had declared the carshed nuisance-that is to say, a source of disease-they at once pro- ceeded with hatchets to demolish it. They worked at first upon the flooring of the building, and had wrecked not 8 little of it when an injunction sued out by the railroads met them face to face. They were not prepared to resist the courts, and the war on the spot was de- clared off, and the war in the courts was begun.
 The State of Georgia owns two-tenths of the carshed, and this complicates matters not little, for Governor Cand- Ter says he proposes to defend the States property even from boards of health who are filibustering for a new carshed President Wicersham of the carshed association says, too, that the board of health is interfering with United States mails, which is the trump card of the railroads in all difficulties.
 The indications now are that long legal battle will take place, much to the delight of the lawyers engaged but the indications also are that Atlanta will continue to do business at the old car shed for an indefinite period. It may be insanitary and slovenly and cramped, but as no one stands ready to build new one, the old one must be used in the future as it has been in the past. The board of health foray has failed in other words. It's hatchet was not speedy enough, and the injunction put in an ap- pearance as a mater of course.

Smallpox in the Territory.

Muskogee, IT., Februar y10.-Tn the coun- try between Coweata and Choska, twenty miles northwest of here, smallpox is as suming an alaming nature. Three of the five members of the Lawrence family near Coweata are dead, and there is scarcely a home in that neighborhood where some members of the family are not fighting smallpox.

The Chfnese Cuisine.

Though Chinese cuisine has been
credited with some utterly fabulous
dishes, such as white mice served
alive, which add piquancy by their
squeak as they dive down the gullet,
curiosities in the edible line do form
a considerable list.
Birds nest soup, for instance; a
clear soup made from the refined
gluten with which certain species
of swallow fasten their nests beneath
the rocks; stewed "sea slugs," another
nasty sounding dish, but transcending
in flavor the aldermanic green turtle
fat. There may be, too, on first intro.
duction, some prejudice against fried
grasshoppers But courage in this in
stance is rewarded by deliciously
crisp, brown mouthful, of a delicate
nutty flavor.
1t is a fallacy to suppose that pork
forms constant article of diet In
China AS matter of fact it is too
expensive and is only eaten on high
day cd holidays or at restaurants.
Neither d, MIX beef or game enter
much into Chinese cookery, the first
two being tu'r oed on religious grounds.
Dog flesh is eaten in the south but
rarely and only by the poorest of the
poor.-Blackwood.

The Pie Eaters.

Pie in New England is served in
many queer ways, especially the King
Of all pies, the royal mincc. Not long

Mince Pie and Ice Cream"
This is a mild combination compared
with ONE that was served in this city
at midnight supper. A Welsh rab-
bit was being made, and there were
some who did not care to cat it on
crackers; no toast in the house for It
was the fires evening out. A nInce
pie was found lurking in the ice chest
and pressed into service. The rabbit
iShed in short time. Those who ate
are still afraid in the dark. for they
can imagine that the same things are
coming for them again as came during
their dreams of that wild, weird night,
A local minister tells a pie story on
himself that is a "corker,' He is Il
delicate man, and his Wife was down
on pie for him and vetoed it for fami-
ly use. Once he went to a convention
in Pittsfield, and dinner was served
at which there were seven kinds Of
pie. The minister took a little of
each, please" and never enjoyed him

The Stars ana Stripes At Acre.

The play was Richard l. and If you re-
member there Is a scene In the play
where Richard, after putting his foes
to fight In terrific style, mounts the
walls of Acre and plants the British
colors there. Evidently the manage
ment knew the temper Of the audience

stances the British flag would not be a
good thing, so what did they do but

course, and we Englishmen laughed,
but the audience took it quite as the

HIS FIRST RECOGNITION.
The Turning Point In the Career OF
Nathaniel Hawthorne.


The first reading of 1.-THE Scarlet
Letter" has been told in T. W. Hig-
ginson's book Of essays. "Contempo-
raries." The reading was given to
the authors dearest critic, his wife.
During the entire winter when he was
Mt work upon the book he seemed op-
pressed by some secret anxiety.
"There was knot in his forehead
all the time" said Mrs. Hawthorne.
Finally one evening he went to her
and said that he had written something
which lie would like to read aloud.
The work amounted to very little, but
still he would like to read it. All that
evening he read, but as the romance
was unfinished at bedtime his wife
made no comments, knowing that he
disliked criticism until one had heard
the whole.
The next night he read again, and
now her suspense grew so uncomfortable
that in the midst of moving scene
she sank from her low stool to tine
and declared that she could not bear
TO hear 1t.
Hawthorne put down the manuscript
and looked at her in amazement
"Do you really feel it so much?" he
asked. Then there must be something
in it,"
The next day the manuscript was de-
livered to the publisher, and ON tho
following morning Mr.. James T. Fields.
the publisher, appeared at the authors
door. When he was admitted, he caught
the little boy Of the family in his arms
and asked, you splendid little fellow,
do you know what father you have?"
He had sat up all night to read the
manuscript and had posted out to
Salem in the early morning. After his
interview with the publisher Haw-
thorne came down stairs with a firm
step and walked about, his face illu-
mined by new hope and vigor. The
world had found him out. Recognition
was at the door.
