To Float Corks vertIosiiy.

Everybody knows that an ordi-
nary cork. being considerably long
er chan II is broad, is forced TO float,
when put in water, upon its long
side. How can we make Il float
upon its head?
Place one Of seven corks on end
on the table; surround it with the
other six, all upon end; take the
seven corks compactly in one hand
and plunge them under water, SO
as 70 moisen them completely.
Remove your hand and let them
take their position in the water,
The water that has penetrated the
corks will cause them to cling to-
gether, because their united width
Is greater than their length.
This effect Of capillary cohesion
amusingly demonstrates that in
union there Is strength"

PremIers bad TheIr cIoths..

The late Lord Salisbury shared
with Mr.. Gladstone a disregard fog
clothes, and several times his at
tire was referred to with regret by
sartorial writer's. So long al his
coat hung fairly we'll from the
shoulders the deceased premier
cared little, but he never went the
length Of Mr.. Gladstone, whose
clothes we're often so shabby that
only an eminent person would wear
them. Lord Salisbury's hats were
enormous affairs, quite equaling
Mr.. Gladstonc's in size, and much
more respectable; indeed Mr.. Glad
stones hcdgear was generally in
the shocking bad hat" category.
While in attendance in the com
mons Mr.. Gladstone dressed fairly
well, but outside the house he paid
little attention to his garments. The
successors in office Of the great de-
parted are, on the other hand,
careful dressers, especially Lord
Rosebery, who designed collar
for himself with the turnover peaks
rounded for greater comfort and
durability. Mr.. Balfour's appear
ance is usually very smart on social
occasions, although he seemingly
does not endeavor to attain the well
groomed condition Of Mr.. Chem
bcrlain.

King Edward and Queen Alex.
dria during their recent visit "a
ireland were shown at Maynooth
college a silver statuette of St.
George and the dragon and rich
church vestments presented to
the college by the late Empress
OF Austria. There is a curious
story regarding the presentation
In question. Caught in heavy
rain one day while hunting in
Kildare, the empress sought ref
uge at Maynooth, aud grateful for
her kindly reception there, the
president having wrapped her in
his own zimarra while her drench-
ed garments were drying. began
to think how to requite the hospi-
tality she had received. Her graf
itude took the form Of a silver
statuette, which duly reached the
college authorizes. Great, howev-
er, was their CONSERVATION when
it turned out to be a statue of the
patron saint Of England. What
was St. George to Maynooth, or
Maynooth to St. George? The
poor saint was PROMPTLY bundled
into a cupboard, whence he was
extracted the other day for the
inspection OF England's king. The
empress, apprised Of the mistake
She had made, considered how to
make amends, and the vestments,
embroidered with golden sham
rocks, were afterward sent from
Vienna as peace offering.

Faust MinstrsIs
Performance Here Saturday Night
One of the best on Record.

Ted +. Faust's Superb Minstrels
with the spectacular first part en-
titled Sunny Italy" was the at
traction at the opera house here
saturday night.
The audience was not a large
one, but its dollars to doughnuts
they never played to more ap-
preciative one.
Faust's Minstrels, though new
on paper, has within its personnel
many well known minstrel stars,
Who guarantee you good show
by the simple fact Of their names
being on the program, and those
who witnessed the performance
Saturday night pronounced it the
best minstrel that ever played in
Marshall.
There was no who, What,
When about it, you could see who
and what they when the curtain
went up and you did not have to
sit and think when will some
thing happen to laugh at.
The songs were all good and the
solos were as sweet as ever heard
here, and the olio cannot be sup
passed anywhere. The dancing
was OF high-class order, and the
Pop Carr's monologue and the old
time banjo playing act was much
appreciated.
The Faust family in their aero
batic act is worth the price Of adj
mission any time.
II is TO be hoped that Faust 5
Mlassrels will visit Marshall next
season, and if they do, it is safe
TO say they will have a crowed.-

THE
ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are so apparent that we are almost
ashamed to talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose of your
face, but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said, if he had thought
of it, IF a man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
blowed. And our Office boy saws
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under a
nalf bushel.
Ro to save argument we are will
ing to admit that there is no light
that even approaches the electric
light in quantity of light radiated
all around the room.
The quality of the light YOU can
see for yourself. Electric lights
give a strong, clear, vivid write
light That is what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
of it.
If our points are rot clear to you
it is undoubtedly due to the fact
that yonr light is poor. If YOU

A SAVING OF STEPS.

If telephone would save you a
half dozen trips a day--it usually
saves people from three to six times
that many-wouldn't it be an eco
nomical investment?
A telephone in your house or
place Of business costs you less than
10 cents a day. Six trips a day
would cost you not less than ten
cents each, or a total of 90 cents.
In a month this would foot up the
enormous total Of $IS counting
Sundays and all. But some busi-
ness men use their phone 100 or
more times a day. They couldn't
do without it.
Well install your phone for you

first class condition. We guarantee
good service, prompt courteous at

young Americans who are financially
embarrassed while in Ostend. The
landlord is about to eject them be
cause of their inability to pay their
bill, when he gives them the option
of leaving the hostelry or marrying his
niece, noted as the most intensely

young Americans consent, of course
and one of the them, to fulfill the
double consideration, is to wed the
niece in deu of lions on big fete

Has Valuable Evidence and lnforma-

Following 3 from the Savannah
News of yesterday.
Hon. Horace G. Stone, general coun,
sci for Capt. Oberlin M Carter, return
ed yesterday from Brunswick where
he went to make a personal investi-
cation of the work done at that port
under Capt. Carters supervision.
Mr.. Stones idea is to get as much
evidence as possible as to the efIicien,
cy of Capt. Carter's conduct of the
affairs of the government, and his un.
swerying fidelity to it. He will also
get evidence as to the large amount
Of money which he saved the govern
ment in making contracts, and in the
manner Of doing the work under his
supervision
Mr.. Stone considers the most val
liable evidence in his possession the
statement made by Capt, Green, in
Quebec, to the effect that neither he
nor Gaynor had given Carter a penny
and that the idea of Carter's being pun
ished for anything of the kind was
cruel and unjust. This statement was
corroborated ty Gaynor
The taking Of evidence here will
probably be taken up today, if the
witnesses can be gotten together. Col.
j. B. Quinn will probably be put on
the stand to testify as to the eflcien-
cr Of the work performed by Capt.
