BIRMINGHAM REALTY
 co. IS A BENEFACTOR
It's Extensive and Solid Improvements Have Helped to Beautify the City.
 Moderate Prices.

The Birmingham Realty company is not simply a large and prosperous insti- tuition It stands before this community in the light of a benefactor. It has spent $so0,OOO on public improvements within the city limits. This amount has been divided chiefly between it's property on the South Highlands and on the North Highlands. and has paid for street grad ing and macadamizing, putting in sew CTS and laying cement sidewalks.
 Within the past two years the Realty company has transformed all the unim- proved section of Highland avenue from rough roadway into a splendid, pictur- esque boulevard. It has done just as sub stantial and attractive work on Twelfth avenue, north.
 The company is selling magnificent residence sites and it's prices are moder- ate Compared with real estate in like fashionable quarters in Atlanta or Nash vile. the prices are dirt cheap"
 Among the many advantages in pur- chasing from the Birmingham Realty company is, no commissions have to be included in the price paid. The company is it's own agent.
 There is hardly a city in the United States where such lovely plats are found as the Birmingham Realty company of- fers The lots already transferred to home builders are being improved right along, and in the course of few years will naturally be 50 per cent, perhaps a hundred per cent, higher than they are today No one who owns a lot bought from the Realty company two years ago would sell it today for what he gave for it, and the advance in prices has only fairly begun.
 A. L. Fulenwider the president of the Birmingham Realty, is being congratu- lated by business men in general upon the success of his management of the company He is known to be straight forward in all his dealings, and his judg- ment regarding values is said to be un- erring.

Ice Cream in the Bible.

According to J. W. Wallace. in the Spatula, ice cream has been in existence since 1545. Indeed, this writer thinks he discovers ice cream in the Bible and quotes the text. And Isaac brought forth the milk of the goat, cool with the snow of the mountains, and said to Abraham, Eat and drink, for the sun is hot, that thou mayst be cool "
 At banquet given by Charles I of England ice cream is mentioned. On this occasion, according to Wallace, it was made by a French cook, and the king was so pleased by the frozen milk, as he called it, that he gave the cook a pension of f20 year for life.
 The first advertisement of ice cream appeared in New York newspaper June 8, 17S6.
 Lady Hamilton introduced ice cream in Washington, and it was always her delight to tell how President Washington declared that it should thereafter form a part of the White house menu. It was sold for S1 a quart. The wholesale ice cream business was started in 1851 by Jacob Russell ip New York.
 Probably s25.OQ0ooo are investe.. in the manufacture of ice cream in the United States

 Companies en route to Australia and the Philippines can advantageously give special performance at Honolulu while the ship is loading and unloading. In the days before the cable was laid company that arrived cn a liner at noon could be playing to a packed house at o'clock and return to the ship in time to sail at 5. Nat Goodwin gave such a performance in Honolulu seven or eight years ago. when he was on route to Australia. A number of other stars have done this and picked enough extra money to help pay steamship fares. Nowadays, with .the ca- ble, such performances are arranSed in advance
 Theatrical affairs in Manila are very de- pressing. The only American company which has yet ventured there reported d very bad season at La Paz theater. The official guide holds out no inducements to other companies to make the trip
 Some American Curiosites.
 Much as one may be amused by theat- rical conditions in other lands, there are some small points concerning the United States which are worth considering, ac- cording to the guide. In Paulding O., the Grand Opera House advertises that it will permit only three attractions a month to play in order that each com pany may be reasonably compensated. The idea evidently is that the population cannot afford to go to the theatre oftener than three times a month
 Another manager advertises that there are good stone bikes connecting neigh boring towns with his own hamlet, so that farmers may visit town and sec the show.
 The names of some of the theatres of this country are peculiar Vincennes, Ind, boast of the McJimsey Theatre The town of Washington in the same state has spinls Opera House. St. Joseph, Mo, is proud of the Tootle theatre.
 Trolley cars are opening up new theatri- cal territory all through the west. It Is now possible to go from Detroit by trel- ley and play a regular circuit of towns not reached by railroads. These trolley lines have baggage cars to handle seen cry. There is also a trolley circuit from Cleveland, another from Toledo, another from Columbus and another from Evans vile.
 These circuits are unknown to the big theatrical stars but they are breadwn- ners for smaller shows. Another circuit of towns most people never heard of ex tends from Trinidad. Col, to Joplin, Mo, by way of Fl Paso and Las Vegas.
 Managers of small towns advertise ex- ceptional inducements to tempt managers. The manager of Swishers Theatre in Morgantown, w. Va. says: Morgan town has the money; come and get it if you have a good show; if your show s bad, please go away and let me sleep"
 According to the guide, there will be 4Ss companies on tour the coming season. Probably there vii be at least 200 minof companies not listed Beach company will average twenty people, so that upon this basis approximately 140O0 Thespians will amnse theatre goers. This estimate however, is very law, because many Of the big companies carry from 75 to 125 people.
