Savannah by rail. The Brooks will load
lumber for return cargo.
The first shipment of Texas oil that
has ever been sent to Cuba left Beau
mont last week for Havana, in the
barge Helen. The cargo is to be used
in the gas works at that place. The
sugar planters in Cuba believe that fuel
oil will displace coal, and with that
idea in view have sent large orders to
Philadelphia for oil-burning machinery.
1t is claimed that the use of oil, which
has only to be carried a short distance

WILL ORDER 500 CARS.
Freight Equipment of the Central
VIII BE Increased.

IN bN
A special meeting of the directors of
the Central of Georgia Railway was
held yesterday morning for the con-
sideration of a plan to add 500 freight
cars to the equipment of the Central.
Maj. j. r. Hanson, chairman of the
board, was seen after the meeting. He
said that the matter was not definitely
settled, and that, therefore, the details
of the plan could not be made public.
Further than to say that the purchase
of the cars would be made, he was not
prepared to discuss the matter.
Maj. Hanson was asked, incidentally
about Republican politics, in so far as
the &lectorship of customs for Savan-
nah Is concerned, but he declined to
talk on that question. His name. how
ever, has been used with persistency,
end there is a popular opinion that he
is very close to the President in the
matter Of appointments for federal po-
sitions in Georgia.
The directors who. attended the
meeting. besides Maj. Hanson, were

The man who originated the oft
quoted maxim, "Stuff cold and starve
fever" either did not understand
what he was writing about or he has
been widely misunderstood, to the
great injury Of multitudes who have
acted upon the absurd maxim.
Presenting that the author of It was
a physician who knew something Of
the nature of colds and the action Of
remedies, he must have spoken sub
junctively and not imperatively, and
then it would read thus: ''If you stuff
a cold, the consequence will be that
you will be thrown into a fever as a
result of the stuffing treatment of the
cold, and then you will have to starve
the fever"
This is true and sensible interpreta-
ton of this commonly received maxim,
which has done as much harm as any
of the thousand and one popular err
rors which prevail on medical subjects.
Without dwelling on the nature or
causes Of colds or on what physicians
call the pathology of these disorders,
we will say that a low or even starva-
ton diet for few days, with the free
drinking of warm, mildly stimulating
teas, Is better for cold than any drug
or combination Of drugs.-London Fam

Dasappoinfments That Await the

Dasappoinfment That Await the
New Congressman's Wife.
The rural congressman's wife. ambi-
tious to be in society and who fondly
imagines that election to the house OF
representatives carries with 1t the gold
en- key to unlock all doors, learns her
first and bitter lesson when she discov-
ers that position means something, but
persons are everything. Such woman
comes to Washington full of her own
Importance, profoundly impressed with
the greatness of her husband, fondly
believing that the wife Of the president,
the wives of the members of the cabi-
net. the wives of the senators, will re-
ceive her with open arms, that she will
be invited to the dinners of which she
has read in her local paper, that she
will get her name in the newspapers
and her dresses will be described as
was that Of the governors wife at the
last charity ball.
Alas for her disiIlusionment! She
learns that while congressman may
be a very big man in his district he is
a very small man in Washington until
he has established his right to be re-
garded as above the average. If he has
money and tact, he may soon attract at
tention and cross the golden boundary,
or If he has no money, but much abili-
ty, he will reach his destination by an
other route, but If he has neither one
nor the other, If he is simply an ordina-
ry member of congress. very fair
spocimon Of middle plass commonnlac 90
intelligence, the social recognition for
which his wife signs will never be hers.

DAIRY NOTES.

Good butter should be solid from the
time it is put upon the table.
Any excitement in the dairy COW
tends to lessen the flow of milk.
Failing to get all the buttermilk out
causes butter to become rancid soon.
TO obtain the best results in churning
the cream should be only slightly sour
In winter the cream should be warm
ed up to about G6 degrees before put
ting in the churn.
One advantage in brine sailing is
that it almost entirely avoids streaked
or notified butter.
The milk should always be skinned
while sweet and the cream then allow
ed to turn slightly sour
Sometimes butter has white specks
distributed through it. This is caused
by oversourness in the cream.
In butter making next to controlling
the temperature is to churn often while
the cream is in good condition.
With temperature under control and
churning done at the right time the
butter will become solid and be easily
handled.
On the farm to make the most out of
the milk and butter some of the cows
should be bred to come fresh in the
spring and some in the fall.-St. Louis
Republic.

Sensitive Gems.

The discoloration of precious stones
when they have been exposed to the
air for long time is considered one of
the most frequent maladies. Emeralds,
rubies and sapphires are those which
remain intact best. Nevertheless, they
are not exempt from changes. Two
rubies of the same size and shade
were kept for two years-one in a
showcase and the other away from all
light. At the end of this term com
parison revealed that the first had be-
come somewhat lighter in color
The influence of light makes itself
felt more plainly on topazes and gar
nets. The garnet turns much paler in
a short time. while the topaz assumes
a darker shade and even loses the bril-
liancy possessed by it when freshly
cut.
The most sensitive stone in this re-
spect is the opal. This stone draws it's
marvellous rainbow reflections from nu-
merous little clefts, which allow the
light to pass, and reflect it in different
directions. Often the opal stands the
manipulations of cutting and polishing
well, and all of a sudden it splits.
Pearls deteriorate very easily. In the
fire they are transformed into piece
Of lime. Placed in contact with an acid
they behave as lime or marble would
under the same conditions.
Diamonds are less sensitive; still, it
it not prudent to take them too near
the fire.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Some brides may be inclined to re.
greet that the old marriage custom of
the dow purse has fallen into disuse.
1t was the custom of the bridegroom to
fill purse with goodly sum of mon
ey and present it to the bride on the
wedding day as the price of the pur-
chase Of her person. 1t sounds like
slavery. like the buying of goods and
chattels, yet the bride had nice little
sum of money for her own use.
Some of the oldest Inhabitants of
Cumberland may remember a similar
custom in that county. The bride
groom provided himself with number
of gold and silver pieces. and at the
words with all my worldly goods
thee endow" he handed the clergyman
his fee and poured the other coins into
a handkerchief held out for that pur
pose by the BRIDE.
In other places. again, the bride had
the right to ask her husband for q gift
of money or property on the day after
the wedding, and he was bound in
honor to grant the request. London

The readiness of some people to send
for a man to do those little things
about the house which the smallest
amount of enterprise or ingenuity
would enable them to do for them
selves is illustrated by an incident re-
ported in the Chicago Tribune Of a
family named Chuckster.
They had bought some new gas burn
ers with nantes. For week or two
the light was satisfactory; then it grew
dim and DINNER until Mrs. Chuckster
sent for the gas filter.
''It grows worse all the time," she ex-
planned.
"When was it put in?" asked the
man.
"About month ago."
"Ah, yes; see."
Then he lifted the chimney off, took
it out to the kitchen, washed it with
soap and water. and the light burned
as brightly as ever. ...s =.-.. F..

Her Dog.

A bachelor girl who hurried home
each evening from her studio with the
picture always before her of the small
friend who was to greet her at the
door Of her apartment in wriggling
ecstasy of welcome had guest one
evening who did not go in SO much for
dogs as he did for bachelor girls. The
girl had rebuked her small friend rath-
er sharply for barking at the man who
didn't care for dogs, and the former
had taken refuge under table.
'Do you really think dogs are worth
while?" asked the man.
snake a gesture as though you were
to strike me-" replied the girl.
The man did so. In an instant the
small friend that moment before had
been beaten and had crawled under
the table to brood over his wrongs was
standing beside his mistress with hac-
kles up and teeth cleaning, growing
ominously at the guest. "Do you know
what he is growing at you" asked the
girl. Its only paraphrase, but the

Wheat Does Not Grow wild.

The existence of names for wheat in
the most ancient languages confirms
the evidence Of it's great antiquity and
Of its cultivation in the more temperate
parts Of Europe, Asia and Africa.
From the evidence adduced by botan-
lists of high standing, it seems highly
improbable that wheat has ever been
found growing persistently in a wild
state, although it has often been as
serted by poets, travellers and histo-
rians.
In the odyssey" for example, we
are told that wheat formerly grew in
Sicily without the aid of man. Diodo-
rus repeats the tradition that Osiris
found wheat and barley growing pro-
miscuously in Palestine, but neither
this nor other reputed discoveries of
wheat growing wild seem at all
credible, seeing that it does not ap-
pear to be endowed with the power
Of persistency, except under continued
culture.
