Homes For Bread.

There is an interesting child's story
called Jack the Giant Killer" in
which one of the giants is supposed to
use the expression 'fe-fawfum," or
something like it, when Jack has climb
ed a beanstalk and been hidden by the
giants wife. the rest of the growl be-

Possibly it has not occurred to many
to ask where the idea Of making bread
out OF bones originated. as we do not
often seriously investigate fairy tales
1t is a historical fact that during the
siege of Paris by Henry ~, owing to
famine, bread. which had been sold
while any remained for more than 81
pound. was made from the bones in

Broke the Rule.

A Boston man recently RECALLED
party of friends with a story about q
certain nameless club in Boston which
has strict regulations against gam
bling.
A quartet of club members decided
to break that rule by game of poker
for small stakes. So they adjourned
to one of the small rooms of the club
and called the old colored servant to
bring pack of cards. When he
brought them. one of the members
queried:
John. suppose it would be some
thing utterly new in this club if we
should do such thing as play for
money with these cards?"
The negro scratched his head and
deliberated, finally answering:
Boss Ize been wild dis club long
time and I'ze seen many things"
Yes. but what have you seen"
''I'ze seen ebry rule oh dis club vi
lated 'ceptin' one"
What rule is that One?"
de rule 'gainst gibbin' tips to de
SERVANTS"
And straightway that rule was re-
lieved Of its lonesomenesS among its
fellows.-NeW York Times.

Professional Envy.

An Italian philosopher has amused
himself by constructing a scale of de-
greeS for the measurement Of profess
sional envy. The highest point in this
envy measurer is ten.
Architects are happily placed lowest
on the scaie. They register only l;
advocates aad priests and military
men are ranged at 2, and in the as
cending scale he gives us professors
of science and literature, A; journal
lists, 5; authors, 8; physicians, 9; ac-
tors and actresses, 10. The small
amount Of envy among architects is
held to be due to their precise, severe
and rigid studies. The same thing ap-
plies to advocates.
Among the clergy envy is found
mostly in preachers. In the military
career envy is quiescent in time of
peace, but can become acute in time
of war. Envy makes men of science
and literature lead solitary lives, diff
dent of each other. Among physicians
envy is still more prevalent, and they
do not spare their colleagues, often
terming them charlatans. In the the
atrical world envy reaches its acute
form, vanity playing a great part in
its production.

The Mississippi 400, 600 Year. Ago.

Did you ever figure on what was the
probable condition of the great Mis-
sissippi river 10000, 100000 or even
100000 years ago? Scientists suggest
that the erosion of it's bed was ac-
complished by a mighty cataract,
which began far down the river, prob
ably at the place where it then emp
tied into the gulf, and by gradual re
PROGRESSION dug out the valleylike
gorge through which it now flows.
That this theory is tenable may be in
ferred from the high, wall-like bluffs,
features so characteristic of the upper
part Of its course.
A wearing away of a monster cata-
ract would Of course necessarily leave
high walls or bluffs on either side.
These are the well known features of
the father Of meandering streams. 1t
would seem. according to this theory,
that st. Anthony's falls constitute the
remnant of what was once the most
stupendous cataract in the world. Ge-
olOgiStS estimate that it has taken the
river 100000 years to carve out the
mighty ditch through which it now
flows.

THE OTHER FELLOW.

Mr.. Harry West, the German dialect
comedian and his select company of
artists will be the attraction at the
Peoples Theatre on 30th inst, present.
ing a new and original farcical comedy
in three acus-entitled 1.-The Other Eel
low" This play was especially written
for this company and abounds in con-
tinuous avalanche of laughs and funny
situations. The comedy is clean and
bright, The complications that arise
during the progress of the play, have a
tendency to drive away the worst case
of the blues. In addition to the play
itself, number of high class vaudeville
acts will be presented-the same that
have appeared in all Metropolitan cities.
This attraction complete is without a
doubt the best of its kind on the road
today-as nothing has been omitted to
make it such. Reserved seats at Mosh-
er's.

THEY STILL EXIST.

II is said by some that "dispen-
sary" will stop blind tigers" Well,
does it?. Let US see. The Rome Tri-
bune of last Friday said that "Jim
Mosely, white man was arrested and
lodged in jail for running blind tiger. Z"
He had barrel of the "Oh, be joyful"
in barn and was selling by the drink.
The Tribune further says. "He had a
large number of customers and was
making considerable money" So it
seems that The dispensary in Rome
doesn't do all the selling, but the
"blind tiger" continues to do business
in the out of way places, Atlanta has
open barrooms, but the blind tigers are
doing business there also.

MILLINERY OPENING AT MRS.

success in millinery art in her magnifi-

display of exquisitely beautiful hats
was triumph and highly creditable to
her own good taste and the skill of her
new milliner, MISS Hopkins, who by her
courtesy has won many friends already
in our city. Miss Edwards, too, comes
in for liberal share of praise. This
store has always had a good trade in
millinery, but the beautiful and splen-

rily add large number of new custo-
mers TO this old reliable establishment
In fact is conceded that this is the best
and grandest millinery opening Mrs
Warren has ever had in this city,
Great crowds have focked there this
