Benefit Of African Telegraph

The telegraph from the African
coast to Lake Victoria Nyanza has
been completed and it will be of great
advantage to the inhabitants of Lower
Egypt. The natives depend on the rise
of the Nile for irrigation, and hitherto
they have only known very short
time beforehand the condition of ehe
waters. Now, however, that commune
cation has been made from the sources
of the Nile, the required information
can be sent several months in ad-
vance, and the Egyptians can regulate
their supplies.

The Supply Of Glass Eyes.

Germany and Switzerland produce
over 100000 glass eyes in a year;
and a Paris manufacturer, with a
reputation for finer work, some 3O0,-
900. They are made in the shape of a
hollow hemisphere, and the utmost
skill is required in forming the pupil
out of the colored glass. The great
majority of artificial eyes are used by
workmen, especially those in iron
foundries, where many eyes are put
out by sparks.

The Story of q Hoodoo Hat.

Mr.. John Cooper, one Of Dooly coun-
tvs most prominent citizens, is in the
city on his way to Augusta to attend
the old veterans reunion. When he
got off the train, he looked up Captain
Warren Moseley, one Of the bravest of
the boys who went out in the sixties,
and they Immediately began swapping
"reminiscences about their army life in
Virginia. Finally Mr.. Cooper asked
Captain Moseley If he remembered the
Yankee hat. A reporter who was stand
ing there heard the following story,
which both men vouch for as being abb
Eolutely true:
On the first day of the battle of Win
chester a Yankee was killed so near
the line of battle that a soldier of the
name of McLendon, Company I, Fourth
Georgia, picked up the hat, and put it
on and wore 1t. He had not had it on
his head for more than two hours when
he was shot through the head, the bull
let piercing the hat in almost the same
hole that the bullet had entered that
killed the Yankee.
Another soldier of the name of Woo
ten of Company II, Fourth Georgia,
picked up the hat and put 1t on, and in
less than an hour he, too, was killed,
the bullet striking him in the head near
the place where the other two bullets
had entered.
The next day another soldier of the
name of Fitzpatrick of Company H,
Fourth Georgia, was wearing the hat
and killed.
Although the hat was a fine one, it
was left lying on the field, as there
was no one who would wear it, as four
men who had worn it were then cold
and stiff, and each one had been shot
through the hat in almost the same
place.-Macon News.

Trumbulls cradle was in Connect
cut. He came of the old Jonathan
Trumbull breed. AS young man he
went south to teach school, but he
liked it not and dipped into lawbooks
AS soon as he was equal to his exam
ination he was called to the Georgia
bar, but he never paused to practice
there. He migrated to Illinois. then
the utter west and settled at Belle
vile, st. Clair county. in that part Of
the state known as Egypt.
There he at once took leading place
at the bar. He was always courtly, al
ways carefully polite, what one might
call bit cold, yet he had great sway
with the juries. He was clear, cogent
reasoner and had trick Of admon-
ishing with his forefnger. Sometimes
it would seem as if that potent forefin-
ger wove a spell. doubt not it has
brought many jury in its time to
Trumbulps side of the question.
Such were the impressive looks of
Trumbull that l recall what Governor
Reynolds once said of him as he closed
his argument in a law case. Trumbull
was on the other side.
"And now, gentlemen" said Reyn-
olds as he prepared to close: give an
swered his arguments, I've overturned
his statement of facts, I've undone the
fallacious law he has announced to
you; but, gentlemen, the man never
lived who can reply to his looks|-Chi-

Cyclone Franks.

A traveller in the west, the Rev. G. T.
Brady, says that of all the manifesto
lions of power he ever witnessed, from
an earthquake down, cyclone is the
most appalling. The midnight black
ness of the funnel, the lightning dart
ing from it in inconceivable fierceness,
the strange cracking sound from its
bosom, the suddenness of its irresisti-
BILE attack, its incredibly swift motion,
its wild leaping and bounding, like
gigantic beast of prey, the awful roar
which follows, all this but feebly char
acterizes that strange ravager of the
plains. He continues:
The cyclone plays odd pranks. l
have seen two horses lifted in air and
carefully deposited, unframed, in a
Geld about an eighth of mile away.
I have seen chickens and geese picked
clean Of feathers and yet feebly alive.
One house, 1 remember, had a hole
ten feet in diameter cut out of its roof,
as if by a circular saw. 1 have seen
the black, whirling cloud lift build
ing and shake it to pieces, as one
shakes pepper box. One Of the
worst cyclones ever knew threw
heavy iron safe about as a child might
toss a wooden alphabet block in play.
1t is an irresponsible as well as an
almost omnipotent monster, and it
seems to love the hideous jokes of its
own concocting.

Cock SHOOTING In TAR Corn.

Cock shooting in tall corn is as easy
to the EXP s it is puzzling to the
novice. You Will. of course. work with
the rows, not across them, and if you
are wise you will shoot at every
glimpse Of bird and very frequently
after an instants sight of him. when
you can only guess where he is. Sharp
work, say We, my masters. Yes. in a
measure. but not so wonderful after ALL
You certainly must be ever ready and
swift and smooth in action. but actual
sight of the bird at the instant of pull
ing trig~ = not necessary.
Green won't stop even fine shot,
and your charge will give pattern as
big as bushel basket; hence the shak-
ing Of leaf. the flick of vanishing
wing, are enough for the master of the
art. In an instant his gun is on the
spot where species of lightning cal
culation tells him the bird should be,
and the trigger is pressed without the
slightest delay. The difficulty with the
novice is to get him to shoot at once in
stead of waiting in vain for a clear
view. Experts kill bird after bird in
this way. The novice must dismiss all
thoughts Of empty shells. No good
sportsman worries over misses. though
he will learn from failures how to hold
next time. There is no royal road to
success in the field. Nothing but ex-
perience really counts. So let the nov
ice crack away. although he may only
get one bird in ten. We all know what
he'll get if he doesn't shoot at ALL

Boston,s "Litt1e Italy"

The Boston Transcript says that Bos-
tons Little Italy" is established in the
very quarter where Paul Revere lived
and whence he bore the message Of
the belfry. The Old North square rip
pies with the color and music Of for
eign faces and tongues. The Old North
church itself cannot have far to go
to neighbor with Franciscan chapels
and Roman Catholic cathedrals, the
whole medley of a foreign world usurp-
ing that place where once Puritanism
reigned supreme.
They say that the Boston Italians are
very thrifty, that from being good rent
payers they are becoming notable prop
erty buyers. They are music loving
and art loving people. go to the
Museum of Fine Arts on the free days
and see these same Italians, in their
rags and hobnail shoes, men, women
and children, standing before the finest
things in the gallery and approaching
them"
And that sight reminds writer in
The Transcript of a shabby cabman
in Florence who always carried his
Gerusalemma Liberata in his coat
pocket and whose passion was for the
preservation of the Italian tongue in
Its purity, "as only the Siennese now
preserve it, SignOrina."

Mirror Mad.

"What!' exclaims the astonished
reader, sis it possible that there are
any civilized persons on the face of the
earth who are not IN the habit Of be-
holding their visages reflected from
time to time in a mirror of some kind +?
Surely this cannot be so." Wrong.
quite wrong, gentle reader, for at the
present time, strange as 1t may ap-
pear, there are hundreds of men and
women in the United Kingdom who
have not gazed into mirror for years.
The convicts confined In British pris-
ons form members of this community.
From the moment Of a convict's en-
trance to a Jail to the moment of his
exit he Is not permitted to have the
use Of mirror of any kind, the small
est piece of glass being rigidIy denied
him. To the women convicts this abb
sence of mirror forms one of the
chief hardships Of confinement, and
many a female warder can tell piteous
tales of women who have actually fall
en- upon their knees and sobbed out
entreaties for the loan of a morsel Of
mirror-'just for a second" All these
entreaties have perforce to be disre-
garded, and it thesefore comes about
that many a female convict passes
three or four years without being per-
mitted to gaze upon her own features.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press says that when the late R. e. A.
Dorr was on the staff of the Baltimore
American news came one day to the
city editor that food In the Seven Foot
Knoll lighthouse, out in Chesapeake
bay, was exhausted and that the keep
er and his family were starving. Dorr
secured custom house tug and loaded
it with provisions. The weather was
exceptionally cold, and the tug was
stuck in the ice half mile from the
knoll. Dorr left the boat and started
over the ice.
When he reached the lighthouse. he
was warmly greeted. Come in the
dining room," said the keepers wife
after the rescuer had warmed himself
"Come in and have dinner with US"
Mr.. Dorr thought that hunger had
made her mad. 81 heard that you
needed food" stammered Mr.. Dorr as
soon as he could speak.

Kent the Bonnet Comnanx

The story of an elderly couple who
lived in a Massachusetts town nearly
80 years ago is told by some of the old
est inhabitants with much JUNCTION.
The lady had been bereft of one help
meet. and her second husband had
twice been left a widower before the
pair were united in the bonds of mat
rimony. They were both of that tenn
permanent which causes its possessor to
be characterized as "set."
On the wedding day the bride found
in the, back entry, on conspicuous
nail, sunbonnet which had belonged
to her immediate predecessor. She re-
moved it to oblivion in a closet
Her newly welded husband made no
comment, but replaced the sunbonnet
on its accustomed nail.
During the next few days the calico
headgear vibrated with more or less
regularity between the closet and the
nail. Then there came day when the
bride approached her husband with d
mans hat in her hand as he was in the
act of reinstalling the sunbonnet
"If you have that sunbonnet there"
she said firmly, 81 shall hang up my
first husbands hat on the next nall"
She looked at the bridegroom and
met the counterpart of her own ex-
preston. She hung the hat on the des-
ignated nail, and, although the two
people lived to be very old, neither the
hat nor the sunbonnet ever moved
again till the house came into the
hands of a new owner.-Youth's Com

Knocks Their Shoes Off.

Strange as it may seem, people kill
ed in a railroad wreck are generally
bereft of their shoes by the shock. In
commenting on this popularity an old
railroad engineer said: "a man who is
killed in a railroad accident seldom
dies with his boots on. l don't know
why this should be, but it is a fact. 1t
is particularly true in the case of a
man who is struck by an engine and
killed. In nine cases out Of ten, when
the body is picked up, it will be found
minus shoes. Even men wearing heavy
top boots are not exempt from this
strange rule. Why is it? guess you'll
have to ask somebody who is wiser
than I am,"-Philadelphia Record.
