Rufus Choate was Beaten.

AS one of the very few occasions
when the wit of Rufus Choate was
foiled an incident is recalled when that
brilliant lawyer was examining one
Dick Barton, chief mate of the ship
Challenge. Choate had cross examined
him for over an hour, hurting ques-
tons with the speed of a rapid fire
gun.
WAS there a moon that night?"
Eyes, SIR
did you see it?"
"No, sir"
'Then how did you know there was
a moon"
"The Nautical Almanac said so, and
I'll believe that sooner than any lawyer

"Be civil, sir. And now tell me in
what latitude and longitude you cross

"Ah, you are joking"

A native woman living in old Cairo
was entering her house when, to her
great terror, she perceived snake Of
formidable dimensions, which had TAX

woman's absence. The woman fed,
leaving the door open. Her cat then

the cobra. put up its back and tail, spat
and otherwise manifested it's hostility
and in turn went out. A few minutes
afterward it returned in company with
a second cat After a similar exhibit
ton both went out and returned with
a third, and similarly went away, re-
turning finally with a fourth. Con-
sidering that sufficient force had been
recruited to kill the snake, the four at
once fell on the reptile, and after a
short but fierce struggle the latter was
literally torn to pieces.-Egyptia Ca

GEORGIA BUILDING
MONEY.


The conference between Messrs

ington, Glascock Barrett and Governor
Terrell IN regard to the Georgia
building was postponed yesterday for
week on account of the illness of
Colonel Hughes. 1t begins to look as
if the Georgia building will have a
close shave, as three fourths of the
money is still to be raised.
Governor Terrell has named a new
commission ia connection with Geor-
gia' representation at the Louisiana
Purchase exposition, to be known as
the commission on publicity, This
commission Is expected to keep the
matter before the public as much as
possible in order that the greatest
amount of good may be ace mplished.
The commission on publicity is com
posed of editors and representatives
of the daily papers of the state, and is
as follows;

same boarding house for time With
her he was sentimental tender, ear

travagant with his small earnings in
bringing gifts of candy and the like.
1t is whispered that in a moment of
reckIessness he bought her two ice
cream sodas in succession. But this
could never be verified. Circumstances
over which she had no control caused
her to leave the boarding house with
out bidding him goodby. Carelessly,
too, she neglected to leave her address.
He applied to the boarding house mis-

Salt Lakes Water.

"When once you understand the art
of bathing in the great Salt lake of
Utah it is the finest diversion on earth,
but it is not apt to result pleasantly to
the man who does not heed the advice
Of the experienced" said a citizen of
Salt Lake City. "At any other bathing
resort in the world the swimmer can
play in the waves, dive and disport
himself as he pleases, but not so in
this wonderful sheet of water in the
west and all on account of its extraor-
binary saline qualities. So heavily is 1t
charged with brine that unless the
bather protects his eyes, nose and ears
from liquid contact he will receive
such stinging punishment as will make
him bitterly regret having entered the
water. To get even a little of it in the
mouth is cause for grief. But when he
knows enough to protect himself in
sensitive places he will admit that no
where in the world is the bathing so
fine or so stimulating in it's effects. y

Some of the Many Things a Piece of
Brown Soap Will Do.
When nails are to be driven into
board or into wood or furniture
where it is feared that they may
split the wood, first lay them in
soapy water or pound them into a
bar of soap and then drive them in
to the wood. If this is done, they
will never split the wood.
Soap shavings or a small lump of
yellow soap tucked into a mouse
hole will prevent the temperance
of the mouse most efectually.
Chance stains on carpets and rugs
may be removed in the easiest and
best way by scrubbing with a small
stiff brush which has been rubbed
over a piece Of soap, the spot being
rinsed and wiped in clear water i'm
mediately. A little soap mixed with
stove backing will produce better
shine with less wcl4, and a luster
that will last for long time.
Silverware can lie cleansed by al
lowing it to stand for a few hours
three or four-in hot water in which
a handful of borax has been dis
solved and one-fourth a bar of COM
mon yellow soap has been cut up
and melted. Combined with sugar,
brown soap makes an effective poul-
tice.

us a crude outflow from the earth. 1t
was not until about 1845 that the iri-

face Of q stream near Pittsburg sug-
gested to thoughtful men to dig for a
greater supply. Indians came from
distance and soaked it from the water
with their blankets, which they wrung
out into vessels in order to secure
quantity for some secret purpose. 1t
was not until 1860 that it passed into
common use. Since that time it has
driven every form of wax, grease, fluid,

We are accustomed to think of large
cannon as a very recent invention.
Yet as long ago as 1913 certain Ralph
Hogge of Buckstead, in Sussex, cast
large guns, and a pupil Of his, Thomas
Johnson, in 1895 made for the Earl of
Cumberland ''fortytwo cast pieces of
great ordnance of iron" These weigh
ed 6000 pounds three tons apiece,
and, we are told, showed very fine
smooth workmanship. All the smelt-
ing was done with charcoal, of which
it took three tons to smelt each ton Of
iron. Also all the ore was carried from
the mine on pack horses, which took a
load of about 300 pounds each. The
immense amount of labor and conse-
quent expense may be imagined.
