Turtles Eat Tomatoes.

From Country Life in America.
 During the past season I have been somewhat disillusioned as to the feeding habits of the box turtle. With the ad- vent of the tomato season it was noticed every morning that four or five of the largest and ripest tomatoes were partly or totally devoured. The peculiarly shaped bites were puzzle. It could not be the work of the neighbours chickens or ducks. No familiar insects could cause such injuries. At last large specimen of box turtle was caught in the act of devouring tomato The most surprising fact in this connection is the height to which these clumsy creatures can reach. Tomatoes are not safe from them unles sthey hang six to eight inches above the ground. The appetite of the box turtle never fails A small turtle will easily consume a to- mato twice his own size. Any pears or apples which may be blown from the trees are also greedily devoured by them. Two neighbors had the same experience as my self. and I therefore suspect that this habit of box turtles may prove to be quite general

CORONATION SUPERsTITIoNs.
incidents at Browning of Kings That
 Were Considered III Omens.

trom the Nineteenth Century and After
 The several coronations which have ia. ken place within the last few years have brought into mind not only the curious customs with which tradition surrounds sueh ceremonies, but the many supersti- tons and omens which attend the yarious functions In the past every minute detail carried meaning, and every slightest mis- nap In the elaborate proceedings bespoke disaster
 An unfortunate incident happened at the cfowning of William the Conaueror. Ar ter the coronation oath. in which the new monarch promised to protect the church ana to execute judgment and mercy. the archbishop put the question to the assem- bled crowd:
 Will ye have this prince to be your king?'
 A clamorous response of assent startlcd the Norman garrison. They believed the English had revolted, and took up their swords and torches. They set houses on fire, the flames spread and there was a general alarm.
 The English, hearing of the plunder. rushed out of church. The bishops and clergy who remained were in such eonfu- sion that they could hardly go through with the act of crowning William heard the tumult, but could not conjecture the

cause, and sat trembling at the foot of the altar. No great mischief was done by the fire, but the occurrence laid the founda- ton of long enmity between the English and Normans.
 The day of Henry V.'s coronation "be- ing Passion Sundaie, was a sore and tenn pestuous day with wind, snow and sleet, so that men greatlie maryelled thereat, making divers interpretations what the same might signlfie.'
 An incident attending. the erowning of Charles Stuart was ominous The royal barge drifted from it's mooring place and stuck in the mud of the Thames. Other occurrences were unproptious. The ser mon sounded like a funeral oration, an earthquake shock was felt during the ser vice, and the herald made a slip in his announcement, proclaiming him the "du- bitabe instead of the "ndubitable" heir.
 When George III. was installed on the throne, Lord Effingham, master of cere- monies, forgot to provide the sword of state and the chair and canopy for the banquet. The articles had to be impro- vised, and the ceremonies were delayed for hours. When the king complained of the negligence, he received the reply from Efingham:
 Tt is true, sir, that there has been some

Aflanta Fears More Race
 Trouble During Holidays

for the employment of 100 extra police men for a period of ten days during the holidays, which will give the city 260 officers, 100 for day duty and 160- for night duty. At no time will any police man be allowed to leave his beat, to pre- vent the necessity for which his meals will be sent to him.
 Whether, as an additional precautionary measure. the saloons and liquor houses will be closed during the holidays is as yet undetermined. It may be strongly urged by the citizens to the extent that some action will be taken. Mayor Wood ward says he has no present idea of closing the saloons for single day un- less it should be found necessary for the preservation of peace and good der
 "The continuation of these rumors as to disorder is very annoying" Mayor Woodward said. q do not apprehend that there will be any trouble whatever. l shall not close the saloons unless it is necessary to preserve order. They are closed by law on Christmas day have already taken steps to prevent the use of firearms and dangerous crackers on the streets, and I believe that is all that will be necessary"

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health and
 Disease.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

( The mention of sulphur will recall to many of us the early days when our mothers and grandmothers gave us our daily dose of sulphur and molasses every spring and fall.
 It was the universal spring and fall blood purifier" tonic and cure-all, and, mind you, this old-fashioned remedy was not without merit.
 The idea was good, but the remedy was crude and unpalatable, and large quantity had to be taken to get any ef- feet.
 Nowadays we get all the beneficial ef fleets of sulphur in a palatable, concen- trated form. so that a single grain is far more effective than tablespoonful of the crude sulphur.
 In recent years research and experi- ment have proven that the best sulphur for medicinal use Is that obtained from Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold in drug stores under the name of Stuart's Calcium Waters. They are small choco- late coated pellets and contain the active medicinal principle of sulphur in highly concentrated, effective form.
 Few people are aware of the value of this form of sulphur in restoring and maintaining bodily vigor and health; sul phur acts directly on the liver and excre- tory organs and puriies and enriches the blood by the prompt elimination of waste material
 Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us with sulphur and molasses every spring and fall but the crudity and i'm. purity of ordinary flowers Of sulphur were often worse than the disease and cam not compare with the modern conce5- trated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Waters is undoubtedly the best and most widely used
 They arc the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipa ton and purify the blood In way that often surprises patient and physician alike.
 pr. R. NJ Wilkins, while experimenting with sulphur remedies. soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was superior to any other form. He says: For liver. kidney and blood troubles. especially when resulting from constipation or ma laria, I have been surprised at the re- suits obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wa fers. In patients suffering from boils and pimples and even deep-seated carbuncles have repeatedly seen them dry up and disappear in four or five days leaving the skin clear and smooth. Although Stuart's Calcium Walters is proprietary article and sold by druggists and for that reason tabooed by many physicians. yet I know of nothing so safe and reliable for constipation. liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forms of skin dis eases as this remedy.
 At any rate people who are tired of pills. ca thartics and 'so-calied blood "purifers'' will find in Stuart's Calcium Waters a far safer. more pala table and effective preparation.

A Thanksgiving Toddy.

From Judge.
 The Kentucian leaned up against the bar refectvely, almost moodily.
 What will you have, cofonel?' inquired barkeeper observing that he was not uttering the thoughts within him. "A Thanksgiving toddy, if you please" replied the colonel.
 And what's that?' said the barkeeper.
 "A glass of plain water"
 "Wha- W ha-whati" gasped the dispenser of souses.
 .'I said a glass of water,' repeated the colonel slowly; 'w-a-t-e-r"-and the colonel spelled 1t out as if it tasted good.
 In speechless amazement the barkeeper served the liquid, and the colonel held up the glass to the light a moment and took it down.
 "Give me, d chaser of red liquor, quick" he sputtered.
 This was forthcoming on the call. Then the colonel assumed his normal aspect and the barkeeper was emboldened to make inquiries
 'Why do you call it Thanksgiving toddy, colonel?" he asked.
 Because" explained the colonel grave ly. "I have to drink it only once year in memory of dear old uncle of mine who died in November. leaving me the fortune he made in the umbrella busi- ness"

week. And why this rush? The National Association meets next week. But what reason Atlantas magnates have for mak- ing this trip is unknown. It is a certainty that the wisdom of Billy Smith will cut little ice at the national meeting. He >s perhaps preparing to advertise Atlanta, and exelaim that while Birmingham flies the rag, Atlanta should have won 1t.
 Seriously, however, none of Birming- hams people will attend this meeting. President Kavanaugh will be in New York at the time, in all probability, represent ing the Southern League. Billy Smith gives it out that he is going after other good men. The Atlanta Journal told it's readers last week that the Atlanta man. agement would spare no money in acquir- ing the services of a good third baseman. It is remembered that Atlanta has made threats about winning the pennant next year, and, after Birmingham, Atlanta is the faYorite here. But why will the Fire men make the bad start of retaining Billy Smith at the helm? He cannot win a rag
 Locally, things are wintering indeed. An occasional letter from Harry Vaughn re- minds us that there will be a team in Bir- mingham next season, but as to the per sonnel of that team, the coming of new

 As George was moving down the abbey with the royal eirelet on his head, the great diamond fell out, and was found only after much trouble. There were not wanting in after days those who saw in the mishap the foreshadowlng of the fall- ing away of the thirteen colonies.
 It is well to remember, in reading of these gloomy prophecies of doom. that such incidents are seldom thought of until m untoward incident has occurred. Then the superstitious mind seeks some occur renee to serve the purpose of omen. a thing not hard to find, since almost ev- cry occasion is attended by some unfortu- nate accident.

ALL PASTORS IN THE CITY TODAY WILL PREACH ON THE CHRIS TAN VIEW OF LAW AND OR- DER.p

Atlanta. December s. = (Specal) - Strangely enough, and with no apparent foundation, the impression has gained considerable spread that there is dan ger of another riot in Atlanta during the holidays. The very rumor and talk of such a thing will undoubtedly act as G determent
 This talk has undoubtedly grown out of the feeling engendered at the time of the riot here on September 22 an emerg- ency wholly unlocked for and one which caught the police department unprepared
 Official cognizance was taken of this talk at meeting of the evangelical min isters of Atlanta this week. and while the leading ministers of the city stated that they attached no importance to the report they considered that it would be well to act favorably upon the request Of the Business Mems Gospel union. and to have preached in every church in the city tomorrow morning sermon "The Christian View of Law and Order" Ser mons on this topic will be preached in every one of the 1SO churches in Atlanta, white and colored, and the Gospel union will publish and distribute broadcast a pamphlet containing a 100-word synopsis of each Of these dscourses.
 The rumor as to holiday disorder seems to have disturbed some of the negro ele- lnent no little, and it is reported that many of them have left the city or are preparing to leave at that time. It may be safely stated, however, that there is no reason for any such course.
 The city government has anticipated the possibility of holiday disturbance and orders have gone forth to the police department that no discharge of fire works or firearms of any kind will be allowed on the streets at any time The police have been instructed positively to make cases in every instance.

BeeI and PaYr Are Eager
 To Trim "FaYmer" Burns

ment to lure the Iowan planter from his fertile acres expresses a willingness to wager $500. He offers to place that amount in the hands of the sporting editor of The Age-Herald.
 Parr is not alone in desiring to come to Birmingham. The new American cham pion, Fred Beel, who trimmed Frank Gotch in a pair of seconds down in New Orleans the other night is willing to meet anyone here. So lightly does he value his newly won laurels that he is willing to meet Farmer Burns with the American championship as the win ner's trophy.
 One or both these matches may be ar- ranged. Either would be rattling good one.

But Babb is another comer strang and Dobbs are saying little from Nashville but upon these youngsters those grown accustomed to the blueness of defeat are putting their whole dependence.
 While there is time. let's digress a lit- tie. Heisman is being censured from one end of the Southern gridiron to the other for the rotten selection of an all-southern team. Great goodness, children! hasn't Heisman the right to his own opinion? And what more than another's is Hels- mans opinion? Of course, his selection was trifie crude, but let the old man dream his dream. To disturb him would be cruel, for how wanton is the youth who quickly snatches a pipe from between the teeth of his nodding grandfather The shock would be bad
 Now here is the proposition: Heisman is coaching Tech, and picks an all-south- ern team. His selection is printed in the Atlanta Journal Why was not this the end of it? Of course, the selection was rotten, but why raise such hullaballoo? Heisman's opinion is not official. He is not Walter Camp in Dixie. The fact of the matter is that he is seldom seen out of Atlanta. Of course. it is natural that he should have given place to Tech. In fact, it would have been most unnatural had Coach Pollard, in selecting a team. not given one or more places to Alabama. same as to Coach Donahoo ad infinltum. oo iel i1eisulah dream. H. M. R.

Not content with lessening the pitchers burden by making tip foul strike, the National Baseball commission at it's next session will endeavor to place the pitcher on the bench, and not make him tire his body by swinging at the benders of an op- posing twirler
 When a brilliant salesman is shooting screaming benders across a piece of rub Der. and making opposing hattsrs look like the proyerbial thirty cents. the sympathy of the grand stand goes throbbing out to the perspiring gladiator, and at this time were the question raised, Shall the poor pitcher bat? 1t Is a certainty that the unanimous answer would be May, nay"
 However, inasmuch as a non-batting member of the team would practically change the entire face of the game, the commission should and will hesitate before hurling such an cratic innovation upon an unsuspecting public. True, there are good arguments on both sides. Now the pitcher is a mere figure-head at the bat, and when his place Is filled by a man maintained especially for batting, the hit ting and running, so interesting to the public. will be increased. Then, it is ar- gued, that the pitchers wind and staying qualities will be housed all during a scrimmage. All this is we'll enough. On the contrary, each team will number ten men if regular batter is continually seated on the bench. The scorers will be put to considerable trouble, for often the manager will think that the batter should be changed towards the end of a game. Then, again, to change game so well understood as baseball, those changes to be pleasantly received-must be good ones and attractive ones Then. again, how about the limits, financial, numerical and otherwise?
