SOME SHORT
STORIES AFLOAT.

A predominant characteristic
of the American people is curl
osity. Some people possess
more of it than others, but we
are all thus affected to a more or
less degree. This was clearly
evidenced last Sunday afternoon
when two prisoners became en-
gagged in a fistic encounter at the
county Jail. Some one started
in that direction, some one else
followed, then the rest of US lol-
lowed the other fellow. No one
seemed to know what the
trouble was, but everybody
wanted to know, hence they fell
in line and moved toward the
county Jail.
A stranger who crossed the riv-
er on the Macon road yesterday
stopped short at the sight of the
gallows that was used in
Lowndes county's last legal
hanging. A citizen of Columbus
who possesses some reputation
as a local wit happened along
about the same time.
"Say, friend," said the stran-
ger, "I've travelled lot in my
time and have seen most every
thing else, reckon, but this is
the first time | ever saw a gall
lows and a graveyard together. "
The citizen laughed. He had
never thought of it before, but
the situation dawned upon him
in moment. The stranger ev-
identity thought that the fifteen
or twenty graves marked by
small wooden slabs were Inhabi-
ted by the victims of the impro-
vised gallows that stood nearby.
"Yes," replied the citizen, sit
is rather odd, but it is a conven-
lent arrangement and saves the
county the cost Of hauling its
victims to another location.
The stranger rode on, and the
citizen laughed all the way to
town.
ga curfew law would be a |
good thing" remarked a prom
inent citizen a few evenings ago
to a Commercial reporter. "Pa-
rents don't seem to appreciate
the Importance of keeping their
boys off the streets at night, but
allow them to run around town
and get into all sorts of mean
ness"
81 know one man, for in
stance" he continued "who
chains his bulldog in the back
yard every night to keep him
from getting into mischief, while
the sixteen -year-old son of the
same man is on the streets until
ten or eleven o'clock every
night. We should force the
boys to stay at home at such
hours, and | am in favor of a
curfew law"

 Members of one of the sectional school boards were discussing a gentleman re- centlyi suggested to fill a. vacancy and one of them objected, that the fellow was well nign illiterate, and really would be out of place in such body. Where upon one of the others present said he never heard that objection uttered with regard to Philadelphia school directors that he was not reminded of the case of a janitor in a Western school house who gave up his job because he felt that the teachers had deliberately slurred his sense of honesty. On being pressed for an explanation, the jaI1iror sat1:

Pleasure and
 Profit in PheaSantS

The Reeves is the most noble and by far the largest of the pheasant family. His plumage lacks the gorgeous colors of the golden, but his length of tail com pensates for his quiet but handsome plumage. This bird Is a native of Chi ma. where the long tail feathers are highly prized. These feathers often meas ure fifty-six inches in length. The edges are chestnut brown. the center pale gray with semi-circular bars of black. The tail Is somewhat fan-shaped and the bird ex- bands 1t when excited.
 The hen is a rich brown of several shades. They attain their full plumage the first season, and often reach a great size. The male has white head, each feather having a minute black dot. Be- low the crown Is a jet black band. The eye Is red. with white streak under meath it. the throat is white and the breast jet black. Every feather on the hack from head to tail is a rich gold edged with black; the wing coverts are black and gold.
 The Lady Amherst pheasant is per- haps the handsomest of the pheasant family. and can be kept in quite limited quarters. The cock Is a most graceful and elegant bird, somewhat larger than the golden. His feathers are not so val uable, still some are very useful to the K. with a few red feathers, face pale green; tippet white edged with groen and bar red with black; back orange red The two center feathers of the tail are very long. and are gray in color, with black bars.

 ATLANTIC COAST SINKING.
Facts Shown by Recent Geological
 OhSerYatinns

Sb6CA NaLAQhSs
 The slow sinking of the Atlantic coast is fact well known to American geolo- gists. but the definite, measurements of the rate of that subsistence Is q matter of scientific interest. As long ago as 1888. the late Professor George H. Cook. State geologist of New Jersey, investigated this matter very fully. collecting numerous observations indicative of the encroach- ment of the sea on the New Jersey shore Later investigate made by the United States Geological. survey have demon Strated that this is no local occurrence, but a; condition characteristic of the en- tire Atlantic seaboard. ;-. '"'
 In other parts of the world similar ob- servations have been mace. Along the eastern coast of England the sinking of the land relative to sea level has been a serious matter during recorded history; villages lie buried under the salt marshes and the waves now sweep over submerg- ed forests. On the other side of the' North Sea. the Norwegian coast Is rising rapidly. that is, geologically speaking. Observations show that the Scandinavian coasts are being elevated at a mean rate of 25 feet per century; the maximum rate at the North Cape being nearly twice as much. The Pacific side of South America is rising Ilpidly. Charles Dar-l win, when on the Beagle, having been one of the first to draw attention to the. raised beaches on the coast of Chilli, where plaited reeds and other evidences of human handiworx were found buried among marine-shel denosits at a heightl of S5 feet above tdewater.
 Such observations as these, usually dis regarded by the nonscientific. become im- pressive to the average man when he finds by the evidence of landmarks, that the ground under his feet is very unsta- ble. It brings home the great fact which underlie the study of geology and Sug-l gest sthat even t'N apparently catast D. phic events of geologic history. as writ ten on the pages of rocks and stone. are the result of quiet forces acting with that unwearied patience which hardens the ruby in a million years" When Sir Charles Lyel saw the stupendoust folds and diversions of strata which characterize the Swiss Alps. he remark-I ed that all such apparently violent re- \ suits might we'll have taken place with 4 out any Interruption of the habitableI state of tlIese mountains. had man beenI then in existence which he was not. | Considerations such as these enlarge thel imagination and serve. sG astronomyI does, to illustrate the poetry which lieS often buried deep in dust, amid the drYl pages of science.-E Engineering and Min- ing Journal.

WANT A HOME RULER

A movement is on foot in Canada
to secure the appointment of a native
born citizen as governor general
when Lord Minto's term expires. Can
ada has always been ruled by some
member of the nobility sent from Eng
land. But a spirit of local pride is
springing up, that demand a home
grown governor and it is entirely
probable that Lord Mimic will be the
last Englishman to rule owe Canada.
Whether Canada is moved 10 this by
a growing liking for the democratic
ways OF the United States is not
known. The Canadian governors have
maintained a strictly royal court at
Ottawa, as unlike the unpretentious
administration of an American pregi-
dent as possible. No Canadian govern
or has pretended to live on his salary
OF $4,000 a year, although Lord Mimic
has not exceeded it so much as some
OF his predecessors. Lord Aberdeen
expended as high as $95, 900 a year
while he was governor, and Earl Duff
erin fully as much. The MARQUIS CT
Lorne spent from 500, 900 to $50, 900
above his salary, the Marquis of Lans-
dcwne 10000, and Lord Stanley s25,-
600. Canada may not be moved by
any liking for Jeffersonian simplicity
in its present demands for home tall
ent in the governors chair, but only
by a feeling of local pride in kowtowing
to a local lord instead of to an i'm
ported one. Still it this were all. the
presumption would be that if royalty
is to be recognized the genuine in
ported article would be preferred.
Whatever the motive that has actu
ated the Montreal Chamber of Com
merce, where the movement has had
its birth. the americans who have be-
come Canadians will prove vigorous
supporters of it. A royal court sup
ported at pubic expense for the bene-
fl of some foreign lord, will have lit
tie attraction FOR men who have be-
come accustomed to the American way
OF doing things and the 80. 900 of them
VINO are estimated to have crossed
the line the past year. will prove an
energetic body of reformers as soon as
thy become warmed to their new
berth. Canada viii find that is is
catching a tartar in its American i'm
migrants unless it is planning to do
business on the American pan.
