webster,s opinion of Himself.

A lady of one of the old families
living near Boston related to
writer the other day told an anecdote
of Daniel Webster which has never
been in print before. This lady hap
pened to be one of few friends VINO
went with MIR. Webster to the han
where hung on exhibition. previous to
its final location in Faneuil Hall, Mr..
Healys now famous painting repre-
senting Webster making his reply to
Hayne. "Mr. Webster" said the lazy,
was very feeble and was led in by the
artist Ascending the platform which
commanded a view of the picture, Web
ster looked at it for some minutes,
making some pleasant observations TO
his friends respecting the different
senators and the various points of in
terest on the canvas. This portrait
and that were spoken of, and even the
pages recognized. Finally, turning to
go, Mr.. Webster quietly remarked:
And as for that man standing there in
the center-well I have seen better
looking men in my day than he.'

MONTH FOR OYSTERS.

August has no "r" in it's spelling,
but September has. 1t came very near
not having, though, for it is the last
letter "a miss is as good as a mile,
however, so one may begin eating oys-
ters. Odd the difference one letter can
make, isn't it? Is there any reason
why oysters should not have been just
as good on Aug. 81 as on Sept. 1? Not
the least. There just CHANGED to be
bunch Of months from May to August
that have not an "r" in their spelling,
while all the other months have.
Oysters are not so good in the sum-
mer as in the winter. Somebody in the
long ago noted the absence of oysters
and RS" and thought the coincidence
so remarkable that he remarked upon it
ana handed down a fallacy that has
obtained ever since.
If there were really any difference
between oysters and IRIS" that would
not admit of their association it might
be we'll to change the name of the
month of May to Mary and August to
Argus because there is ground for the
belief that oysters are eaten too late
in the spring and too early in the fall.
Eaten broiled, fried, stewed or in any
other form than raw, they are not
held to be injurious, even though one
devoted to the bivalves may "crowd the
season." A temperature of $50 degrees
Fahrenheit is held to be fatal to the
typhoid bacillus, which is reputed to
sometimes make the oyster its home.
In the British Medical Journal of a
recent date is an official report touch
ing the oyster as a conveyer of the
germ of typhoid fever. 1t relates to
two banquets that were given on Nov.
10. last, one at Winchester and the
other at Southampton. Illness broke
out among the guests of each banquet,
and this illness was of a precisely SIM
liar nature. 1t was confined, too to
such of the guests as had eaten of raw
oysters. These oysters had, in the
case Of both banquets, been secured
from the same place and possibly the
same beds. OF the Winchester guests,
81 out of the 1874 suffered from at
tacks, and ten had typical cases of
typhoid. The others escaped with less
serious results. Out of the 1872 guests
at the Southampton banquet fifty-fve
were attacked, and eleven of these de-
veloped typhoid. Elsewhere, where
oysters from the same place had been
eaten raw, serious results followed.
1t would seem, however, from inves-
legations made by eminent authorities
that the question of immunity from
disease following the eating of raw
oysters is dependent upon the locality
from which the oysters were taken. If
the water flowing over the beds of
oysters is not contaminated by filth
from the sewers of cities and if the
oysters are not subjected to handling
that renders them likely to acquire dis
ease germs before they reach the table,
it is not thought that eating them raw
is attended by danger.

With wheat showing commendable
ambition in the West and cotton do
ing sensational turns up in the teens,
it would seem that the planters of both
sections would have nothing to kick
about on the score of prices. They
can kick all the harder, therefore,
about few bugs or too much sun
or too much rain that may cut off a
loss in quantity on this account
is bound to look all the greater when
the planters figure up how much it
would have brought at the high prices.

Behold

Behold
The Critic, bold and cold
Who sits in judgment on
The twilight and the dawn
OF literature,
And, eminently sure,
Informs his age
What printed page
Is destined to be great
His word is Fate,
And what he writes
Is greater far
Than all the books
He writes of are.
His pen
Is dipped in boom
Or doom:
And when
He says one book IS rot,
And that another's not,
That ends it. He
Is pure infallibility
And any book he judges must
Be blessed or cusSed
BY all mankind,
Except the blind e.
Who will not see
The masters modest mastery.
His fiat stands
Against the uplifted hands
OF thousands who protest
And buy the books
That they like best;
But what of that?
He knows where he is at,
And they don't. And why
Shouldn't he be high
Above them as the clouds
Are high above the brooks,
For God, He made the Critic,
And man, he makes the books.

How silvini Got His Chance.

When I first met him, says Clara
Morris in September McCIure's, he had
already developed a passionate longing
to go upon the stage. When he came
to visit me. 1 soon discovered he was
profoundly miserable about something,
and presently he confided his trouble
to me, and in a passionate outburst of
sorrow and indignation he cried: IF
only my father would speak one little
word for me, every stage-door would
fly open like magic; but no, but no!
All, you see, Madame Clara, he is SO
great my father he is afraid my er-
forts might injure him-but, surely, he
is too secure for that. His father was
an actor before him and esteemed
great, but he did not break his sons
heart by denying him the privilege to
follow his bent and act. If I could
only get start-then 1 know my faith
err would accept the situation and give
me his blessing too, but''-his eyes fill
ed, he dropped his head on the back of
the chair he sat sidewise in--"but no
one will give me a chance-no one at
ALI"
He was utterly disheartened, but in
that outburst 1 had seen the potential
actor, and, laying my hand on his thick
up-curling black hair, l said MY lad
will give you a chancellor no man
born to the name of Salvini" can help
actingr
If the portals of heaven had opened
before him. / do not believe his face
would have been more radiant. you
must wait a little" 1 said, until I can
see your chance--but I'll find it, never
fear" and then he paralyzed me by
joyously crying: wait! oh, madame!
will ] not wait till the hell freeze Overt"
Then, at sight of my face, he hurried
on: Have l not got II right, then?
You say it," that being his constant
request to people about him:
You say it," But / declined on the
grounds of propriety, and then, with a
black frown, Salvini remarked he would
pull one mans nose who taught him
that.

When the South fails to produce
enough cotton TO supply the demand of
the manufacturers she does NOT now
have to wait for the cry of distress
to come out of the North or to float
across the ocean from the English
mills. Let the supply fall short or let
prices be advanced by a corner to
nights that manufacturers cannot pro-
fitably assail, and then note that
the South is nothing behind the North
in her cry Of protest. Such rapid
strides have been made by the South
in cotton manufacture that she now
has wonderfully important intermed-
larry between cotton planters and
wearers of goods manufactured from
cotton. In years past the manufacture
of the goods was a chapter in the his
tory of the product that gave the South
little personal concern. That was
looked to by our Yankee brothers and
our English cousins. Our province was
TO raise the staple and to buy and
wear the goods. Now we make them
also so that even more intimately
woven than ever with the progress Of
the South is the handling of the cot
ton crop from the breaking up of a
field for its planting to the purchase
OF a bolt Of cloth in a dry goods store
IN the South now there are about s.
100000 spindles. Between $4,000, 900
and $500 900, 900, is the investment they
represent. The increase has been rand
The census of 1900 showed that there
were 100000 spndes in operation IN
the South, and that tie mill capital
was $4,000 600. IN 1890 the number OF
spindles was 100000, while the capital
Invested was l,O0e. 900.

Harvey Logan is about the most
spectacular bandit the country has
produced since Harry Tracey was
snuffed out. From Tennessee to Mon
tana is a long trip for a hunted man
to make, but Logan is said to be busy
again in his old haunts. 1t is but a
question Of time when some officer Of
the law, as nervy as the outlaw, gets
him, dead or alive. The law is GER
tain to triumph in the end, as all the
tribe of Jameses, Youngers, Burrowses

Ten-cent cotton used to be the cry
when it looked as though 2 cents was
about the best the old market could
be persuaded to do. With bales of the
new crop bringing 10, IA, Is and even
l6 cents, the farmers seem to have lost
their nerve. They are so well satisfied
that nothing is heard about 2O-cent
cotton

Atlanta must look to her laurels now
that a Georgia politician has discov-
cred that Tybee is the great gathering
place of his kind. 1t would be strange
if Tybee We're not popular with the
politicians. There is everything there
they could wish. OF course, no Geor-
gia Governor has won fame in quite the
same way that it was won by the chief
executives of North Carolina and South
Carolina, and there is no danger of
that famous remark having to be re-
peated at Tybee by any possible as

Candidates for the Sea Grit team will
probably put in faithful practice until
the day of their departure. Represent
ing Georgia is a proud distinction, and
those who have been asked to try for
the team will probably spare no effort
10 win a coveted place. Georgians will
expect the team to make an excellent
showing in the contests, and it will be
a disappointment if it should not. There
is no reason why Georgia marksmen
should not fare well in the competition.
In rifle practice this state leads in the
South and probably ranks well among
the foremost states of other sections.
