other OF several purely feminine plans
for avoiding the census altogether. The
formation OF "all-nght cycling clubs
may be expected in suburban and rural
districts.
An institution of this kind consists of
ladies living in a particular neighbour
hood who are opposed to giving their age.
and who have bicycles, meeting at a
given RENDEZVOUS few minutes before
midnight on the day Of the census and
going long rides to the homes or rela-
tives or friends, They are careful to make
no call before the clock has struck II,
and are, therefore, residents of nowhere
at the time the law stipulates.
Until about noon they remain under
no roof long enough to be described as
guests and should the enumerator call
while they are present they make pain
full efforts to appear as if they had just
looked in casually. All this trouble seems
out of proportion to the object in view,
but authenticated cases show that some
women cheerfully suffer the greatest in
convenience rather than confide their age
to the census people. f,,r
In the 1891 census a spinster resident
in g northern village sat all night In a
cold and draughty railway station so 40
to escape making the objectionable de-
claration. The lady in question was well
known to the villagers, the. fair ones of
whom suspected that she was older than
she represented herself to be-viz., TWEEN
ty-seven. The census, they thought, would
settle the point once and for all They
would talk pleasantly to the enumeration
after he had collected her. schedule and
try to wheedle out of him the correct
figures. .---.sY
I'm my district in 1884, says London
enumerator. II heard of three ladies
walking about all night under the, i'm
preston that if they were not under
their own roofs as the clock struck II
they would escape filing in the schedule
and incidentally stating their age The
ladies lived within a stones throw of
one another Being nervous they dared
not go far ateld, and walked to- and fro
past their own homes. They were thus
foolishly peramoulating up and down
when one of the ladies' suspected that
she saw light in the basement of her
home and dark figure walking steatnily
about.
"They were agreed that it was burg
lar, and pluckily determined to put a stop
to his depredations. Entering the house
in a body they locked themselves in the
drawing room and began to noisly move
the furniture about with the idea of scar
ing off the burglar below. Presently a
vigorous knock sounded against the door.
and a gruff voice said, I've got you, my
man. You'd better submit quietly. for I'm
armedv 1t was the ladys father.
Having discovered an escape of gas in
his bedroom he had come down stairs
to turn off the meter. The burgler was
thus engaged when the noise in the draw
ing-room overhead convinced him that
the house was being broken into. Mu-
tual explanations followed. and in the
midst of the conversation the ladies sud
den1v stonned exchanged despairing
chances, and one of them actually wept.
The church clock across the road was
striking ~

tor with grim satisfaction. land two of
them were scheduled as guests"

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Sylvania Press: Savannahians are still
booming the fair. They are starting in
good time which is wise.
Darien Gazette: When you vote saloons
out of Georgia why you turn over the
state to the blnd-tigers with their mean
stuff. Prohibition won't accomplish the
purpose sought. If it did we would be
heartily in favor of the measure.
Moultrie Observer: Two citizens of
Georgia have announced that they will
not be candidates for the United States
Senate, but so far. we have heard of no
one who is not candidate for Governor
Atlanta News: David b. Hill declares
that Democracy was not born to die. -
Well, 1t certainly looks that way, con
sidering what it has lived through of late
years.
Oglethorpe Echo: South Georgia has
made a sudden change from making gov
errors to raising sugar cane and cas-
sava. At least the columns of our eX-
changes from down that way Indicate as
much. We doubt not the change will prove
a judicious one since two crops of the
latter can be produced with a certainty
TO one doubtful crop of the former.

Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tablets

Popular Remedy for Dyspepsia,

The spring of the year is the time for
blood purifiers. 1t is the season when we
think we must dose ourselves with sar-
saparillas, bitters and the endless list of
so-called blood purifiers and nerve tonics.
AS matter of fact, there is but one
possible way in which to purify the blood
and that is, through the stomach and
bowels.

comfort generally. Poor blood, weak
nerves, slecplessness and a general don't

This is the reason why Stuarts Dys-
pepsa Tablets are superior to all other
spring medicines and blood purifiers They
give perfect digestion the food does not
lie IN the stomach for hours. They give

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Local and General News of Ships
and Shipping.

The advantage to the shipping OF the
time ball on the Cotton Exchange is
shown by the way it is watched, daily
from the decks of all craft in port. The
unerring accuracy with which the time is
indicated from Washington by this means
makes 1t great convenience to sea
captains in adjusting their chronometers.
The time ball rises from it's cell to the
top of the pole few minutes before u
o'clock, and at noon drops back to Its
position.
The fleet of schooners in port loading
lumber for Northern ports is the largest
Tor many months past. This is due large
iy to the revival in the demand for dunn
Der, and the activity in this market dur
ing the past few weeks. Six lumber laden
schooners and one bark sailed yesterday,
having been delayed owing to unfavora-
BILE weather at sea.
Reports from Tybee yesterday were to
the effect that heavy sea was rolling
off the bar. High winds prevailed most
of the day, with mist and rain.
The steamship City of Augusta, Capt.
Daggett, made her last trip from New
York to Savannah in 1917 hours from dock

What becomes of the ships that sink
at sea? Do they go all the way 10 the
bottom or do they meet somewhere un-
der the surface a certain pressure that
buoys them up and holds them in equilib-
rum? Somebody has given rein to his
grewsome fancy. and pictured all the
ships that have been lost in midocean as
wandering about like so many ghosts
half way between the surface and the
bottom.
There is no foundation whatever for
such a notion, though many persons have
It. Any object that will sink beneath
the surface of the sea will go all the way
20 the bottom. The pressure encountered
on the way down, which is simply enor-
nous in the deeper parts, has nothing to
do with the objects sinking, for 1t is
exerted on the object as well as on the
water, thus equalizing the conditions.
The reason why the object sinks to the
bottom is that water is not compressible;
at least, 1t is so little so that its density
at the bottom of the sea is only rifle
greater than it is at the surface. Scien-
lists say that the water at the bottom
s just about as much denser than the
water on the surface as sea water Is
denser than fresh water
This slight difference in density there-
fore does not and cannot stop the down.

ject that is heavy enough to sink rapidly
beneath the surface.

spicuous article in the Florida exhibit il
