SOIL EXPERTS IN GEORGIA.
Government Sends Three of Them to
Houston County.

Houston County.
From the Perry Home Journal
Messrs. w. G. Smith and w. T. Car
ter, soil experts sent out by the bureau
of soils of the agricultural department
at Washington, we're in Perry last
Thursday. They will remain in Hous-
ton county about six weeks with head
quarters at Fort Valley. They bore
into the ground about three feet and
make technical map of each inspec>
ton, giving topography, ETC., making
complete reports TO the bureau. 1t is
presumed the great success of the fruit
industry is the primary cause of the
inspection in this locality, to find the
soil conditions necessary to successful
peach growing.

George Albums, Young colord buck
of the new school, is no longer citizen
of Lumpkin.
He hurriedly terminated his resi-
dence here Tuesday as the result Of
one of the most atrocious acts of cruelty
TO an animal ever known hereabouts.
With others he was helping to kill
a beef, which Mr.. NJ. A. Bells mule
and dray had been. sent down to haul
up town. Not liking the smell of
blood, orGfor some other reason, the
mule refused to stand still. So Albums
hauled off with a butcher knife and
cut it to the hollow. The mule died
that night from the cut
George didn't wait to see the result
of what he bad done, but shelled out at
once. A warrant has been taken

TOO LAZY TO GET UP.
RuaeIan Millionaire Who Has Not
Left His Bed or Dressed Himself
for Ten Years.

An original character is Baron
Hugo OrtHet, a millionaire, who
spends his time between his magnifi-
cent palaces at St. Petersburg and
Moscow and his supurb country seat
near Kazan, but always in bed, says
the Philadelphia Press.
For ten years he has not got up
or dressed. There has never been
anything the matter with him ply
sically, and even to-day, in spite of
his bulk, his bodily condition fur
nishes striking illustration Of the
fallacy of the assertion that much
exercise is indispensable to the pres
ervation of health. But somewhere
about 1892, after having exhausted
every conceivable form of pleasure
and excitement, he took to his bed
from sheer ennui and has remained
there ever since.
He does not even leave it when he
travels, his bed being carried from
his rooms to a specially-copstructed
carriage and thence to his private
railway saloon, and he always trav-
els by special train. He is quite an
average man in all other respects,
manages his immense property with
the greatest sagacity and sbrewd-
ness, and is brilliant and witty in
conversation.

USES OF TURPENTINE.
A Valuable Household Article When
Its Use Is Properly Under
stood.

Turpentine, either in ,,sinous
form OF in spirits, has a household
value. A child suffering with the
Group or any throat or lung difficulty
will be quickly relieved by inhaling
the vapor and having the chest
rubbed until the skin is red, al,u then
being wrapped about with flannel
moistened with fiery spirits. After
ward sweet-oil will save the skin
from irritation. In the case of burns
and scalds turpentine has no equal,
says Woman's Home Companion. 1t

err, it will remove paint from artists
clothes and workmen's garments; i:
will drive away moths if a few drops
are put into closets and chests; ii
will persuade mice TO find other
quarters if little is poured into the
mOuse-holes ore tablespoonful adj
ded to the water in which linens are
boiled will make the goods wonder

vent starch from sticking; mixed

is unrivaleG as a polish for furni-
ture the latter mixture should
be two parts of sweet oil to one part
of turpentine. Some physicians rec
ommend spirits of turpentine, APP

UniustIy Punia b G d.

A friend of mine returning to camp
after a days shooting, says a writer
in Navy and Army, suddenly came IN
sight of big she bear with two cubs
following in single file, proceeding
along a ridge, the forms of the three
being sharply silhouetted against the
sky. 1t was a very long shot, but lie
determined to try it, so drew bead
on the old she bear and fired. The
result was curious. The procession
stopped, the she bear scratched her
self hastily, then turned around, and.
regarding the cub Immediately be-
hind with grave disapprOyal, boxed
its ears soundly, and then went trur-
ding on along the ridge, evidently
under the impression that her frolic-
some offspring had been up to some
unusually Objectionable tricks.

DISEASE IN HAVANA.
Elaborate Precautions Taken by the
Medical Experts to Prevent
It's Spread.

Isolation as is isolation" is the
method of the Havana sanitary
authorities for the treatment of infec-
tious disease, reports the Philadelphia
Medical Record. Indeed, they are SO
proud of their system that they do not
hesitate to receive cases of yellow
fever into the city itself. When a ship,
say from Vera Cruz, arrives with two
or three cases of yellow fever on board,
it is not anchored at some distance
from the city, and the miserable pas
sengers and crews compelled TO take
all the risks of becoming victims Of
the disease and gradually dying one by
one. On the contrary, the board of
health sends its stretchers to the ship
the patients are removed under mos
quito MEETINGS to the observation or
yellow fever hospital, the ship is fun
gated. the passengers observed for a
time, and finally discharged. So sat-
isfactory has this method been that
one Of the sanitary officers declares
that yellow fever has been practically
stamped out in Cuba, because it is not
endemic on the island, and Havana
formerly the chief point of reception
and distribution.
If a case of relapsing fever is dis
covered-and one was found recently
in a sailors boarding house in Havana
the patient is removed to the conta-
gious hospital and isolated, while at
the same time the most energetic war
of determination is waged against the
miserable bed bugs in that particular
boarding house until every one is
destroyed, and thus, to the misfortune
of the scientific investigation of re-
lapsing fever, but to the great good
of the community, the case of the
disease remains unique.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the able and energetic men who have
control of the sanitation of the city
Of Havana. Not only do the city and
the island of Cuba profit, but Cuba has
ceased to be a source of menace to the
entire southern coast of the United
States, and it behoOves us as Ameri-
cans, and, as we fondly believe, the
most advanced Americans. rather to
copy that which they have of good, and
learn improved methods from them,
than to remain fatuously Indifferent
to all methods not inaugurated by our
selves.

BOOKS ON STREET CARS.
New Workers Are NOticeably Given
to the Habit of Reading While
In Transit.

The street-car-riding polio of New
York has been having some nice
things said about it, says the New
York Times. The man who said them
is pretty well acquainted with the
street car habits of every large city
in the United States, and his verdict
ought to be worth something. You
Gothamites may be great on the
push and pull and hustle" he said,
but if the number of library books
seen in street cars these days are
an index to the public taste, you also
stack up pretty well intelligently. l
never struck a town where so many
street car passengers read library
books. Even in the rush hours,
when it is all a person can do to
find space for his body, half the peo'
pie are bent on mental expansion.
Library books stare you in the face,
jab you in the back end hump your
elbows on the right and left. | have
never taken the trouble to find out
the kind of literature that there
abounds, but whatever the nature
of the books, the travelling Libraries
thus displayed certainly do give New
York a mighty cultured appearance.

A FEMININE MYSTERY.
1t Is n Puzzle Why Tall Women Are
Melancholy and Small Ones
: Brisk and Cheerful.

Among the minor mysteries of life
is the bewildering fact that, as
rule, the tn woman is of melan-
choly disposition, while her smaller
sister is of bright, brisk and cheer
full temperament. Science, so far as
we know, has never addressed itself
to the solution of this puzzle, and
the amateur philosopher is therefore
left to cudgel his brain and marvel,
saws the London Globe. Why length
of limb should make for solemnity
and melancholy, says writer on this
subject, is hard to determine; and
there the matter rests. But it is not
only on women that length of limb
bestows the temperance of Melpo'
meme. Sir Don Quixote was long and
lean, while his cheerful squire,
munching the crust of content on
Dapple, was short and fat. In India
there is no brighter and cheerfullcr
soldier than the little Goorkha; and
of late it has been recognized that n
stumpy Tommy Atkins is much more
vigorous and alert in person in the
field than his more magnificent
brother of the guards. Length OF
limb seems to suggest to the mind
the need of a stateliness of dcport'
ment. which never troubles the con-
seriousness of "the small and tubby."
We are left to conclude that the
feminine side of our nation which is
rapidly becoming famous for its ex-
IRENE height, will some day become
as serious and gloomy as Quakers'
and then we shall take our pleasures
more sadly than ever

White Oranges.

In q few years white oranges may
grace the American dinner table or
the Italian fruit wagon. One of the ex-
plorers Of the agricultural department
discovered this freak of nature along
the shores of the Mediterranean some
months ago, and brought some cut
tings from the tree to the United
States. These were carefully grated
on an ordinary stock at the delsrt-
ment grounds, and are now three feet
high. A cutting OF this plant was sent
to Santa Ana, Cal, to be tried in shat
climate. A couple of years will see ;he
first fruit. If it proves of fine fsvor
cuttings will be widely scattered, and
in time the white orange may be as
plentiful as the seedless orange
Washington Star.

JUSTICE IN MOROCCO.
Punishme mt and summary Exeeutio&
ofdhe Assassin of Christian
Doctor.

An article describing the arrest and
execution of the Moorish fanatic who
murdered DR.. Cooper, a British mis-
Eionary in Fee, on October II, appears
in the London Times from the Fee cor
respondent of that journal. After
mentioning the arrest of the assassin
In the shrine where he had taken re-
fuge, the correspondent says:
within half an hour the assassin
was brought into the sultan's presence.
His majesty, who was seated n char
under a tall archway, in full sight of
all his viziers. officials, and some hun
dreds of troops, ordered the prisoner
to be brought before him. Mr.. Has
tings and myself stood by his majesty'S
side in order that we might hear what
passed. The murderer was a man OF
apparently some years Of age of tall
stature and not unpleasing counte-
nance.
HE confessed to deliberately shoot
ing DR.. Cooper because he was a Chris
tian. Up to this time the news Of DR..
Cooper's death had not been received.
The sultan therefore ordered the man
to be publicly fogged for his attack
upon DR.. Cooper and the man received
several hundred blows from leather
thongs across his hips and thighs, ad-
ministered by soldiers in the presence
of his majesty and the entire court
and troops. He bore his thrashlng
with great fortitude, and on its COM
pletion was able to rise up without
assistance and walk.
"He was then ordered to be publicly
exhibited in the streets; and, mounted
upon a donkey and guarded by soldiers,
he was taken from the palace for this
purpose.
at was at this moment that the news
of DR.. Cooper's death was received.
The sultan, who was still seated in the
great courtyard of the palace, ordered
the public exhibition Of the murderer
to be stopped and, after consultation
with his viziers, commanded the mans
immediate execution, requesting Mr..
Hastings and myself to be present.
together with all his viziers.
"In a quarter of an hour all was over.
The murderer was shot in the arsenal
square, which had been quickly cleared
of the usual crowd of people. de re-
manned extraordinarily plucky to the
end"

FOR FEMININE WEARERS.
Various Adjuncts of Dress which
Lend Tone to the Costumes OF
the Season.

An extreme effect in millinery gar
niture is the use of radishes of velvet.
as well as fruits, berries and flowers
of the same material, reports the
Brooklyn Eagle.
beautiful buttons and buckles
adorn the soft centuries which, to a
considerable extent are supersedinS
the stiff waistband.
Flat buttons about the size of d
nickel are much in evidence for trim
ming purposes. They are of ordinary
pearl and the smoked variety, and of
silk and velvet, plain or embroi-
dered in pompadOur design.
Triple or double shoulder capes ap-
pear on the largest gowns for indoor
wear.
Narrow cords and tassels, some
times in a darker tone than the
gown, again presenting an artistic
contrast, or in gold or silver thread
are the decorations most frequently
seen on autumn costumes.
Ribbons that shade from bright
green to deep blue make up admira-
bly, into rosettes thai may be used
for the ornamentation Of dark-toned
gowns or hats.
Flat rosettes resembling a coach-
mans cockade trim some of the new
est turbans. In the center of these
rosettes is placed a fancy paste but
ton or other ornament.
Gimp ornaments oad trimmings are
much used in combination with as
trachan and other furs.
Toques and large hats of royal blue
velvet are trimmed with baby lamb
and Persian lamb, while ermine tails
and bands decorate hats of black
velvet, moire and white lace.
Swiss embroidery III self color rep
resents the newest trimming for silk
understands.
Naa.urtium tints, the glowing
orange, red and yellow tones, are
designated that are so conspicuous
in modish millinery and dress gar
niture.
A novelty for the ping-pong girl
is a chatelaine watch in the form
of a ping-pong racquet of sterling
silver.
Card cases of canvas embroidered
with silk floss in colors harmonizing
with the gown are said to be very
popular in England.
