They stin Name the Cook.

A queer custom, which prevails at no
other court than that Of Great Britain,
is the announcement at the beginning
Of each course at dinner of the name
of the cook who has prepared the dish
es served The origin of this custom
dates back to the reign of King George
IL, who made a great favorite of one
of his cooks, promoting him to the rank
of chief over the heads of all his SEN
iors. This, of course. created great
jealousy, and every effort was made
to oust him from royal favor by rem
dering him responsible for the failures
which were laid upon the kings table.
Greatly incensed thereby and fearing
to lose his post, he complained to the
king in person, who Immediately gave
orders that henceforth whenever dish
was placed before him the name of the
cook responsible for its success or fail
ure should be announced in an audible
tone

MMammx,sv Art Criticism.

The old negro "mammy" of the ante
bellum type is fast disappearing, and
when one does meet with the genuine
article there is generally reason to re-
member the occasion pleasantly, says
the Baltimore Sun. Recently a gentle
man was making some purchases in a
small grocery in west Baltimore, when
there entered the store one Of those
characters belonging to the days gone
by.
Hanging conspicuously on the wall
Of the store was a large hthograph de-
picting an airily clad youngster in a
field of waving grain. The picture i'm
mediately caught the eye of the new
conner.
'Who dat?" she asked the clerk.
"Why, that is George Washington, -
replied the clerk, with twinkle in his
eye.

Pap or a Riot.
The devil has broken loose, not in
Georgia this time, but among the Re
publican spoilsmen in congress, most
of whom vaunt themselves as civil
service reformers, but who, down in
the bottom of their hearts, hate it most
thoroughly. The trouble with the
spoilsmen aforesaid is that Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General Bristow Of
Kansas, whose own official scalp is
not glued ON for keeps-not if Senator
J. Ralph Burton can lift it-has in
formed them that fourth class post
masters will hereafter not be removed
indiscriminately where they have rem
dered faithful and intelligent service
Worst of all, Bristow is said to be
speaking for Postmaster General Payne,
and he in turn is supposed to be speak
L.
excruciating for the Republican pot
hunters. They are in about the she
bear-robbed-o her-cubs frame of mind
and will rend and tear Bristow, Payne
and even Teddy if they get a chance.
They will have pap or they will start
riot of the good old sort. Good thing
for Democrats.
Republicans Should MuzzIe Hoar.
If the jingoes do not summarily muz-
zle Senator George Frisbie Hoar, the
venerable statesman, savant and ora
tor from the old Bay State, he will
make many enemies for our policy of
benevolent assimilation" in the Phil
ippines. Recently the senator blurted
out the following rather warm Ian
guage:
when Governor Taft says that the
people are enjoying American freedom
| and at the same time he promuIgates
a law that makes it penitentiary of
fense to read the Declaration of Inde-
pendence on the Fourth of July, / con-
fess l am very little impressed by his
judgment and very profoundly i'm
pressed by his edict."
Now, be it remembered that it was
not some untamed senator from the
wild and woolly west or from the trop-
ic south who gave utterance to the
foregoing "treasonable" words, but the
almost octogenarfan senator who occu-
pies the seat of Charles Sumner in the
house of the conscript fathers. He
comes from q cold climate, has passed
the day when the blood is hot and is
an original Republican.
Fitzgerald's Poker Story.
Representative Fitzgerald of Brook
lyn was "the baby" of the last con-
gress. He no longer enjoys that honor,
as at present there are at least two
younger members, Lever of South Car
olina and Feeny of Chicago. Fitz is a
bright and aggressive young man. He
possesses a rich vein of humor, which
he works occasionally. He tells with
great gusto the following story of a
poker game which he witnessed in Ok
lahoma:
'.Ill be blamed if l play in any
game like this!' shouted one of the
players, jumping to his feet and throw
ing down his cards.
/ whats the matter?" asked the 9th

Somebody's stolen jack of hearts

SAMOAN COSTUMES.


Made With "a Hatchet, a Club and o.
Pot of Paint.
In the south seas dresses are made
with a hatchet, club and pot Of
paint Every housewife is her own
robe and habit maker. When she feels
the need of new gown, she goes and
chops down tree. When her husband
needs new suit she chops down an
other tree. That is easy, for men and
women are clad exactly alike-a plain
fold of cloth caught about the waist
and hanging loosely to the knee or
shin. The races inhabiting the islands
of the tropical Pacific are almost alone
in having 10 idea of the loom and the
various arts of the spinner and weaver.
This lack is undoubtedly due to the
natural provision of material which
renders a woven cloth unnecessary to
this primitive people. The only fabric
used in that part of the world is
crude, tough paper made Of bast. The
tree from which the material is derived
is the paper mulberry, or Broussonetia
papyrifera, which is grown in planta-
and is also found wild in all parts of
the islands. In archipelagoes so high
ly advanced as Samoa and Tonga,
where women have none of the coarser
work to do, the entire care of the null
berry plantations rests with the wom-
en- of each village.
The trees are planted closely to IL
sure a spindling growth without lat
eral branches. The plant viii grow
from seed. In such climate there Is
no difficulty about getting things to
grow, but experience has shown that
better results follow the planting of
twigs from the sturdier wild trees. In
about three years from planting the
tree will be in the best condition for
the clOthmakers. In that time it will
attain height of twelve feet or more,
and the trunk will have uniform d.
ameter of rather less than two inches.
About four feet of the trunk Is waste
and not available for the particular
purpose for which the tree is grown;
the first two feet from the base is too
tough to work well, and the two feet
at the top is too soft. If the tree is
properly grown and left to mature,
there will be available for the cloth,
maker stick of eight feet in the clear
and as straight as measuring rod,
without knots or branches and of uni
form girth throughout. = New York

Fhe Discovery of BOrax In Death
Valley nv Aaror, SNfnta~s

fhe Discovery of BOrax In Death
Valley by Aaron Winters.
The greatest discovery of borax in
the United States was made in the ter
ribly hot region known as Death val
ley and in a most romantic way. The
Chicago Record tells the story.
In 1880 Aaron Winters lived with his
wife, Rosie, in a gulch known as Ash
Meadows, not far from the mouth of
Death valley. He was so fond of
his wife that he would not allow her to
be long absent from him, although
their little hut on the side of the noun
tain was a hundred miles from the
nearest neighbor, in a wild, rugged.
forsaken country.
One day a desert tramp came along
and spent the night at the Winters
home. He told the hunter about the
borax deposits of Nevada. When he
went away, Winters thought that he
had seen deposits of the same kind on
his explorations into Death valley.
Accordingly he and his wife went to-
gether to make the search, having pre-
NAOuoAJ PlONIOcQ luSuSSlNGS WIFI GER
tain test chemicals, which when COM
bined with borax and ignited would
produce a green fame.
Having procured piece of the sub
stance which he believed to be borax.
Winters and his wife waited for night
fall to make the test How would 1t
burn?'
For years they had lived like Piutes
on the desert, entirely without luxuries
and often wanting for the very necessi-
ties of life. Would the match change
all that?
Winters held the blaze to the SUBJ
stance with a trembling hand, then
shouted at the top of his voice: "She
burns green, Rosie! We're rich! We're
richw
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for $4,000. and Winters took
his Rosie to ranch in Nevada.

The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1901-1903, 1902-08-31

The Kingman Leader-Couriert tells of
an early day county surveyor in King
man county, Kan, who neither pos
sessed any instruments nor could have
used them if he had. His method Of
measuring land was to tie his ankles
together with cord that was just
long enough to allow him to step one
fifth Of rod each time, and thus hob
bled he would strike out, counting his
steps until he had made a sufficient
number to cover the desired distance.
The cord or string used by him in
fastening his legs together, says the
Leader-Courier, was made Of raw
hide, so that when he was travelling
through the grass Of a morning when
the dew was on it would become wet
and stretch nearly n foot, and so his
steps were much longer Of a morning
than they were Of an evening after the
sun had dried the whang leather and
shortened it. Consequently the man
having his land surveyed in the morn
ing would have much more in his
quarter section than his neighbor who
had his work done in the afternoon.
These old surveys and corners then es-
tablished cause annoyance even to this
daV
