OVER A MOUNTAIN RANGE.
AefA0I TFamWay for the TPansporta.
''0n OF T:. in the l'.1xa

One of the most interesting aerial
rope ways has recently been con-
structed on the island of Ceylon.
British India, for the transportation
OF tea, this up-to-aate system dis
pensing with the services Of hundreds
OF men and beasts which were for
merely maintained and employed in
carrying the tea over the miles of
mountainous country. The tramway,
which runs in almost direct line.
says the Philadelphia Record. is three
miles long: the road which was fol-
lowed by the flesh and blood carriers
was much greater distance.
This three miles of tramway passes
over several ridges, one of which has
a considerable elevation. The tea
leaves. in bags. are placed in the
great carriers, which are in the form
of hanging cage, as the latter pass
the driving terminal, by wire-rope
transmissions from turbine three
quarters Of a mile distant. The la
bor required to work the entire line
need not exceed six men.
The tramway has been in use for
four months and has given the most
satisfactory service The delivery Of
the tea is performed quite as reliably
as heretofore and is done in much
less time and much more cheaply.

PISTACHIO NUTS.
F"vorite Dainty With Greeks in
This Country Becoming Popular
with Americans.

Two species of pistachios come tc
this country. Those from Armenia.
Syria and Persia are larger, more
tender and better favored than the
varieties which come from Greece
and the Greek archipelago. The
Greek nuts are dryer and less desir.
able to the American taste, though
the New York Greeks prize them
greatly and introduce them into most
of their homemade cakes, saws the
New York Sun.
The best grade of pistachios have
appeared on afternoon tea tables of
late and have also been served whole
as part OF desserts, with wine for ac-
compartment, a mode of seryin,.
them that has long been popular in
Italy.
So popular has the flavor of this
nut become that several limitations
OF pistachio paste are for sale. A
compound of crushed, blanched al
monds, colored deftly with various
harmless green substances, is often
palmed off for pistachio paste.
The Armsnians in New York use
the pistachio nut for stuffing poul-
try and for making pilaus and va
rlous savory dishes just as the
French use the chestnut. The nut
when skinned and boiled is also used
as a vegetable just as the potato is
used.

MOVING BY INSTALLMENT.
Strange Way OF Changing Quarters
Revealed By . New York
BxpFessman.

He looked like a truthful man, yet
nobody would believe him when he said
he did not know where the trunks were
going, relates the New York Times.
1T is very strange that you don't

the expressman. II you don't know,
who does?"

The boss at the desk will know the adj

done on the installment plan to keep
you folks here from finding out where
the other people went. They were
afraid to trust me with the numbe for
tear you might worm it out of me,
SO they told it to nobody but the man
ager. Lots of people who move often
make the trip in sections like that.

THE SLOWLY RECEDING MOON.
Lunar Body May Have Been Born Of
Our Earth Millions OF
Years AFRO.

Looking back through the mists Of
time we see the moon ever drawing
nearer and nearer to the earth. Our
satellite now revolves at a distance
of 100000 miles, but there was a time
when that distance was no more than
100000 miles. There was a time, mil
lions of years ago, no doubt, when
the moon was but 100000 miles away;
and as we look further and further back
we see the moon ever drawing closer
and closer to the earth, until at last
we discern the critical period in earth
moon history when our globe was spin
ming round in period of about five
or six hours, writes Sir Robert Ball, in
Booklovers' Magazine. The moon, in
stead OF revolving where we now find
1t, was then actually close to the
earth; earlier still it was, in fact,
touching our globe. and the moon and
the earth were revolving each around
the other, like football and tennis
ball actually fastened together.
1t is impossible to resist taking one
step further. We know that the earth
was, at that early period, soft molte en-
mass OF matter, spinning round rapid
ly. The speed seems to have been so
great that rupture took place. a por-
ton OF the molten matter broke away
from the parent globe, and the frag-
ments coalesced into a small globe.
1hat the moon was thus born of our
earth uncounted millions of years ago
IS the lesson which mathematics de-
clares it learns from the murmur Of
the tides

MUST SIT UPON RUGS.
II We Would Avoid the Danger That
IL said to Lurk In High
Backed Chairs.

A contemporary which is devoted to
the discussion Of hygienic subjects
makes a somewhat alarming sugpes-
tion. 1t maintains that high straight
backed chairs are responsible for a.
great many of the ills to which woman
are prone.
Neuralgia, backache, headaches, de-
preston, and 20 on may be directly
traced to troubles engendered inter-
nally by the postures we are compelled
to continually assume on these chairs.
The suggestion is put forth, there
fore, that we should lie about on soft
rugs on the floor, adapting these, a.
fancy dictated, to our own ideas of
comfort.
This eastern seraglio kind of ar
rangement would give us our much
needed rest. as well as suppleness Of
form, we are assured, but how would
it fit in with out fashions, our mode OF
entertaining, and our general house,
hold arrangements?
The spectacle of the average matron
Hopping about with number of smart
ly-attired guests on the drawing room
floor does not present itself to the
minds eye in other than grotesquely
comical form.

successor. 1t is announced that the

conclusion that the next pontiff will

BECKETT-BARSTOW CASE
TO BE TRIED TO-DAY.

Litigation Involves Title to Large
Tract of Land in Southern Section.
The Barstow- Beckett case will be
heard by Judge Speer in the United
states court this morning. An unusual
amount of interest is manifested in
the proceedings, the suit involving the
title to a large area of land in the
southern section of the city. The heirs
of A. T. Barstow are endeaVoring to
reclaim this land, which, according to
their contentious, was disposed of by
Barstow while not in the possession Of
his mental faculties.
The testimony in the case has al
ready been taken and consists of 235
pages of typewriter matter. 1t was
submitted to Judge Speer yesterday,
and he spent, the afternoon in familiar
izing himself with it. 1t is not prob
able that any more testimony will be
adduced, but the case will be argued
at once.
This testimony is designed, on the
part of the plaintiffs to show that
Barstow was crazy; that he sold the
land at such a ridiculously low figure
as to present in itself prima facie evil
dence of his insanity; that though he
was possessed, at the time of his death,
of more than $1,000 worth of property,
he believed himself a pauper, and
though sick, denied himself medical at
tention and died in abject destitution;
that he was a drinking man, which
fact was partly responsible for the de-
thronement of his reason, This last
named contention is acquieSced in by
the opposition, who, however, hold that
Barstow was sane; that the low price
at which the property was sold is ac-
counted for by the temporary deprecia
ton in property values; that the cir
QumstanceS surrounding his death were
due to his ecentricity.
The property in litigation is situated
next to the Branch tract, comprising
1877 acres lying between the hospital
tract and Isle of Hope, and reaching
almost the entire distance. In addition
to this property Barstow owned, at the
time of his death, LOO acres of land on
Wilmington Island and other property
the appraised value of the estate being
$1,000 Little of the city property which
he had once owned belonged to him at
the time of his death.
i, The testimony was taken by Mr.
George. S. Cargill Special Commission
er. The case will be heard by Judge
Speer without the intervention of a
jury. The Barstow heirs and the adj
rninistrator, Capt. w. w. Gordon, Jr.,
will be represented by Hugh v. Wash
ington, of Macon, Messrs. Garrard &
Meldrim and Jacob Gazan. The de-
PENDANTS will be represented by Judge
Samuel B. Adams and ]. R. Saussy,
ESQ.

FORSYTH PARK 49,.
ADMIRED BY VISITORS
1t Is Now I'm Spring Costume and
Very Beautiful.

No visitor to Savannah fails to spend
an hour or two in Forsyth Park, and
while they may not know it, these
travellers have a view of this garden
spot at the very hight of it's beauty
1t is in the early spring that the park
is dressed in it's best, and shows to
greatest advantage.
Yesterday, Notwithstanding the cool
ness in the air there were many peo-
pie passing through the wide gravel
walks, or resting for a time under the
magnificent oaks, magno1ias or pines
All the trees are out in the pale green
of spring, the lawns are bright and
luxuriant and the doSwood with it's
drapery of white blooms shows here
and there among itS elder brothers
About the fountain are a humber OF
fine specimens of azaIeas, in various
colors and there are also some banks
of iris. in purple and white. The
gardeners have planted little beds OF
tulips and crocus at prominent cor
ners. and these add color and fragrance
to the scene.
This is a very beautiful city" said
visitor from the far West, land this
park is one of the loveliest / have ever
seen. The greatest charm to me ia
that everything is natural The abb
sence of the rigid and woodworking
hedges and square trimmed trees and
arbors is pleasing to an admirer of
nature. The park is not large, but
restful and delightful. Even the monu-
n ents to fallen forest kings you see
are covered with Cherokee roses"

FIGURED CHIFFON A FAVORITE
EASTER FABRIC.

Figured chiffon is among the new
fabrics for Easter, though it will be
limited to gowns intended for Easter
week balls and receptions. 1t is. too
delicate and inappropriate for street
wear. Later on, however, it would
make delightful summer frock.
The Dresden effects in this new chif-
fon are especially chic. An evening
gown with old rose and pale green pat
termed on a background Of green has
the skirt in three tiers, each flounce
edged with crystal trimming and
gagged around the hips.
The bodice is prettily gagged in W
shaped divisions over which is worn
a boloro of lace threaded with old
rose panne worked with crystals and
corals. The waistband is of pale rose
velvet.
So many of the smart gowns this sea-
son are trimmed with garlands of
flowers made of satin ribbon. The
flowers are almost perfect in their imi-
tation, but there is art in the arrange
ment of the blooms that every dress
maker does not command and in the
designs exhibited in the swell shops
the hand of the grande faiseuse is
recognized
