AN EX-GOVERNOR.
Former Governor Of South Carolina
Ruined by Morphine Habit.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Boston, Mass.-Franklin J..
Moses, Ex-Governor of South Ca
rolina., was before Judge Brown
in tho second session Of the Munic-
ipal Criminal Court this morning
charged with giving a check for
$50 in payment for an overcoat,
said cheek having been drawn on Il
South Carolina bank, in which it
was learned the ex Governor had
10 funds. Then again it was
further learned that after Moses
got the coat he pawned it. His
Honor, the Ex-Governor, met both
these claims.
Concerning the money trauSac-
ton, he said that at the time he
gave the check he honestly bSIiev-
ed that there Was money in the
bank to meet the face value. A
few days after he got the coat he
learned by letter that there was nc
money there, ard 1t once telephon-
ed to Mr. James Hawkes., the tailor,
that he expected party from the
South with money for him with
which he expected to pay his obi
cations.
Ex-Governor Moses thereupon
gaxe vent 10 burst Of OratOry as
follows:
"In 1872, when | occupied the
position of Chief Magistrate of one
Of the prominent States in The
Union, | was driven by social os-
tracism, despite my position and
the counsel Of men high in public
life, to seek relief in that alone
which seemed to be able to give
rest to q mind i'll at rest, namely, to
use of morphine. From morphine
next took to using opium. In
fact, in 1876, the tims when the
party surrendered the
State to the opposition, l had be-
come so addicted to its influence
that l could not live without it,"
Judge Brown then sentenced him
TO Deer Island tor four months.

The Alvar.do at Albuaueraue.

The Alvarado, at Albuquerque, on the Santa Fe, finest railway hotel in the Southwest, built at a cost of $l25,. 900, was opened May 10, under the man. agement of Mir. Fred Harvey.
 Architecturally it is modelled after the old Spanish missions. The main building is 330 feet long, l90 feet wide, with open court and peristyle. An arcade POO feet long connects the hotel with the new passenger depot, an edi- flee which is in perfect harmony with the artistic lines of the Alvarado. The central building is three stories high, wings and annexes two stories, with wide verandas. Walls are plastered with cement of drab color, in pleas ing contrast to the red.tiled roof.
 The Alvarado is handsomely fur nished throughout, illuminated by nearly thousand electric lights, and affords every luxury up-to-date trav- elers require. One unique feature is a museum where are displayed Indian curios valued at $75, 600, collected from

Hindoo weddings usually come in the
hot months. when the families have
leisure to prepare for them, but an as
troIoger must select an suspicious day
for the event. The groom is ready for
his preliminary game of diplomacy,
which is scarcely more than bluff"
This is a pretense to visit the sacred
Ganges at Benares and wash away his
sins in its healing waters Generally
there would not be time before the
wedding day to complete such jour
ney when the groom undertakes it, but
the readiness must be shown, and the
company sets out. When the brides
father meets them and dissuades the
groom from such an undertaking, he is
very ready to stop. He is assured,
moreover, that his sins have not been
so grievous as TO need cleansing before
his nuptials If the brides father is
satisfied with his spiritual condition,
the young man may need say no more,
but he returns and prepares the thali,
or gold badge, that all married women
must wear suspended from their necks.

A System Which Gives Us Vague
Idea of the Eternity of Space.

A System which Gives Us a Vague
Idea of the Eternity of Space.
The Milky Way, the grandest feature
Of the armament which bends above
US" the hazy path which so majestic
ally bands the whole fabric Of the
skies together, is now known to be
composed Of a grand aggregation Of at
least 100000 suns, each as large as
or larger than that which makes Yege-
table and animal life an earthly posi-
bility. One is apt when allowing the
mind to revert to the contemplation Of
these misty and indistinct astronomical
subjects to measure their magnitude
or attempt to measure it by making
terrestrial comparisons.
1t is obvious, however, upon more
mature reflection that such compari-
sons are worse than "odious." The bulk
of our sun exceeds that of the earth
$4,000 times, being 600 times great
er than that Of the bulk of his whole
train Of planets taken collectively. This
being the case, what basis can we use
for calculating the magnitude Of 49,
fore, probably larger than that which
gives US heat and light?
The infinite number Of suns which,
taken together, make up the Milky
Way are not set at a uniform distance
from our earth or even from our sun.
In fact, they appear to work altogeth-
er independently of either this mum
dane sphere or our glorious orb OF
day" The majority Of them are plant.
ed at a distance too remote to be even
imperfectly measured or understood
Some Of them are so near % that
light, which travels at the rate OF
1S5, 900 miles per second, would cross
the distance between US and them II
the period of about an even ten years
Others, however, are so remote that 1
would take a full thousand years fol
their light to reach US.

A Curious State of Affairs.

You must be very cautious how you
treat your neighbor in Isle Of Jersey,
for he can have you arrested on the
slightest pretext and If he has a
grudge against you can bring about
such a calamity by simply giving fc-
tional account Of your misconduct to
the nearest lawyer. The latter will de-
mand a fine, and should you decline to
pay it he will cause you to be thrown
into prison TO await trial. Then, even II
you are acquitted on the ground that
the charge is unfounded, you have alb
solutely no claim against your persecu-
tor, though you may have suffered a
couple Of months Imprisonment for
nothing.-London Tit-Bits.

plural Names of Edible Fish.

4 few days ago I was asked by a for.
eigner, why do you say two behring's
and two soles' and not two Gods and
two salmons"" I do not think my
answer was very satisfactory, but the
question suggested the thought that
there are several cases in which it
would be difficult to say whether there
is anything like a consensus of opinion
as to whether a plural form Of the
name a fish is admissible. We all
speak of soIes, herrings, sprats, lam
preys and anchoyies, the singular form
never, l believe, doing service for the
plural. No one, 1 think, says macker-
els, Gods, salmOns, trouts, Dreams,
shads, carps, places, BASES, barbels.
Sturgeon, perch, mullet, pike, turbot,
funny and skate have not unusually
the plural form In So
Fishermen and fishmongers are in
clined to avoid the plural form in some
instances where it is employed by the
majority of educated people. In some
cases there is considerable uncertainty.
This l have ascertained by means Of a
fair number of tests. Among them are
carps, shads, tenches. Compilers Of
English grammars, SO far as my expe-
rience goes, in treating of plural forms
Of nouns make no note Of the names OF
fish which do not vary in the plural

BRAIN WORK.
Ats Eject Upon the Body and the
Kind of Food IL Demands.

The changes Of tissue in the brain
that take place during study and
Thought are very important and very
rapid. 1t has been estimated that three
hours Of brain work cause as great an
exhaustion Of the forces Of the body as
an entire day Of manual labor.
This waste must be replaced by
abundant food, but its selection re-
quires careful consideration and often
self denial, for many things which the
physical worker can eat with perfect
impunity are slow poison to the brain
worker, who exercises the brain at
the expense Of the body and rarely
gives the latter sufficient exercise to
counteract the mental strain and keep
1t in condition to resist disease. Bear
In mind that. while the waste OF the
body is much more rapid, the depriya-
ton Of physical exercise encourages
torpidity Of the voluntary functions
and renders them sluggish in eliminat-
ing these wastes; therefore it is Of the
utmost importance that the tasks i'm
posed upon them should be light
Brain workers require the most con
centrated and easily digested foods
They should eat fresh beef and NUT
ton, fish, eggs-cooked in many forms,
but never hard boiled or fried-oysters
and crisp salads lettuce, chicory, toma-
toes, watercress, etc, with mayonnaise
or French dressing. They should begin
the day with fruit and make it form
the principal part Of luncheon and be
very sparing in their use Of cereals,
eschewing entirely white bread and
oatmeal. Their ideal luncheon, which
must be light if they continue to work
In the afternoon, is a glass Of milk or
cup Of hot chocolate or, better STILL a
glass of fresh buttermilk, with two or
three graham waters or a bit Of toast
and some fruit, an apple, figs or an or
ange.
