Georgia Ministries.

TO those who enjoy mirth, music
and song the coming Of Richards &
Pringle's Famous Georgia Millstrels
will be hailed with delight. This
sterling organization has weathered
the theatrical seas for twenty-eight
years, never changing management,
and not once departing from their
established rule of presenting only
what is great good and wholesome
in the minstrel world. Other minstrel
companies have come and gone, but
Richards & Pringle's go on forever.
The secret Of their success has been
the fact that the management has
always firmly believed that the pay
ing public craved genuine colored
minstrel performance when presented
on the lines that made minstrelsy so
popular years ago; their belief has
been proven to be the correct one.

London Theaters Charm.

One of the delicious treats London
offers Americans is the acting and &C
cessories Of her theaters. The Or
chestra stalls or balcony stalls are very
sumptuous and very roomy and are
evidently created on purpose to ap-
peal to hearty diners. The usher is
very tidy young woman in black dress
and coquettish cap and apron, pos
sessed Of sweet face and still sweet
er voice. You pay her a sixpence for
each programme. The stage settings
are perfect in detail Best Of all is the
elocution of the players. From the
rising Of the curtain even unto the go
ing down Of the same, each and every
word uttered is as clear and tuneful as
the tinkle Of silver bell. You don't
have to wait till the middle Of the first
act before you can even guess what
the plot is about. Under these unusual
circumstances the interest one takes in
play is greatly enhanced, and he
wonders why an American company is
not as well drilled.-Travel Magazine

The Reason Was FIain,

'There was a woman" said q law
yer, "whose husband was killed in a
railroad accident. TIE railroad, to
avoid suit, gave her $4,000 damages.
The sum satisfied. the woman, but a
month or two afterward, taking up a
newspaper, she read about a man who
had lost his leg in the same accident,
and, behold, this man was given by
the company damages to the amount Of
1880. It made the woman mad. She
fastened at once to the Office Of the
railways claim adjuster. She said
bitterly:
GLOW is this7 Here you give a
man $500 for the loss Of his leg,
while you only gave me $4,000 for the
loss of my husband
1.-THE claim adjuster smiled amiably
and said in soothing voice:
Madam, the reason is quite plain.
The $500 won't provide the poor
man with a new leg, whereas with
your $4,000 you can easily get new
husband and perhaps better one >

cranef "that you do not touch the back part of my head. It is sore and should you press against it l shall not be able to avoid throwing you both into the rapids. They were, however, attentive on this point, and were both safely landed on the other side of the river The crane then resumed it's former posi- ton in the rapids.
 But the skull now cried out, "Come grandfather, and carry me over, for have lost my children, and am sorely distressed.''
 The aged bird flew to her assistance but carefully repeated his injunc ctior that she must by no means touch the back part of his head, which had been hurt, and was not yet healed. She promised to obey, but she soon felt a curiosity to know where the head of her carrier had been hurt, and how so aged bird could have acquired such bad wound. She thought it strange and before they were half way over the rapids could not resist the in. clination she felt to touch the affected part. Instantly the crane threw her into the rapids. The skull foated down from rock to rock, striking violently against their hard edges, until it was battered to fragments, and the sons were thus happily and effectually re. lieved from their tormentor. But the brains of the woman, when the skull was dashed against the rock, fell into the water in the form of small white roes, which soon assumed the shape of a novel kind of fish, possessing a white ness of color peculiar to itself; and these rapids have ever since been well stocked with this new and delicious species of fish,
 The sons meantime took up their per manent abode at these falls, becoming the progenitors of the present tribe, and in gratitude to their deliverer adopted the crane as their totem.

the choice trees go to the match ma. herman sweeps over wide area of suitable timber to feed into the match machines.
 Seldom is the little splinter tipped with sulphur, or some other substance to be ignited by friction, given even scant mention in the consideration of the depletion of the world g finest for. ests, yet the manufacturers of these
 title fire sticks are as much concerned over the timber supply question as any other class of men engaged in an industry whose welfare depends On the lse of forest products.
 It might be supposed that because matches are small the makers of them would utilize scraps and leftovers. This is never the ease; matches are not by products. The match machine .akes the finest timber and what it rejects gees to the by-product yard, and :he by product end of the match business be- comes the largest end, so far as the bulk is concerned. Among the by products turned out by the large Pacific coast factory just mentioned are 1000 doors and 800 sashes daily.
 As . matter of fact, it woull be i'm possible to carry on the match bus mess at all, at present prices, If the rejected lumber were not worked into something else. The room where the matches are made is frequently the smallest department of a match fac. tory. The larger portions contain the sawrlills.
 Matches are manufactured iR many ways and with numerous kiads of ma chimes, and for that reason description of an operation in one factory woulG not apply to another Nearly every manufacturing company has machinery made specially for its use, and covered by patents, and it also employs pro- cesses discovered or devised by it's own chemists and mechanics, and kept secret to prevent rivals from obtaining and profiting by them. A single machine has been known to turn out 177,926,. 400 matches in one day--boxed and la. beled ready for shipment.
 Some matches are shaved with the grain from sawed blocks, come are cut both ways by saws. In some factories the blocks are boiled to make them cut easily. By some machines boiled or steamed log is revolved on it's own axis and a shaving-the thickness of a match-is cut round and round This shaving is at the same time cut into lengths and split into match sticks. There is hardly limit to the varieties of methods employed. Round matches are made by forcing them through dies The Japanese make paper matches, which are wood after all.-Kansas City Star

THE WORLDS MATCH SUPPLY
The Factories Must Turn Out Three
 Million Minute.

The civilized nations of the world strike 3,000,000 matches every minute of the twentyIfur hours in day. Nearly one-half of these are ignited in this country. Americans use up the enormous total of 100000, ,0O0,OO0 year and have larger match bill than any other nation in the world.
 Hundreds of factories over the coun- try are engaged in this industry. Some of the plants are very large, one on the Pacific coast covering 240 acres, with 32 miles of railway which supply the match machines with 100000 feet of sugar pine and yellow pine logs day.
 A statement of the number of cubic feet of wood which actually is con verted into matches each year would convey only an inadequate idea of the number of trees required for the in dustry. For the manufacture of the match the best grade of wood is nee essary. Sapwood, knotty or cross. grained timber will not do. This makes Unnecessary to search the best forests and pick out the choice trees only, and nothing but the choice portions of

Billbcards in Berlin.

Billboards for advertising purposes are prohibited in Berlin. Their place is taken by pillars or columns erected at street corners. These columns, which are usually of wood and iron, are about twelve feet high and three feet in diameter. Built at the edge of the side. walk, they form conspicuous feature of street life in that city. It is inter esting to note that the matter dis played on these columns is more in the nature of reading notices than of pictures.
 The privilege of erecting and using these advertising columns is awarded by the city to the highest bidder. Ac- cording to the terms of the lease now in force, the city receives an annual rental of about $95,200, but cannot grant similar privilege to any one else. The life of the lease is ten years.

LEGEND OF THE wHITEFIsH
Two Indians Haunted By the Spirit of
 Their Mother.

In ancient times when the Indians ;ere better than they now are, when heir yaws were enforced by chiefs, md when every crime was promptly punished, there lived noted hunter md just man at remote point on the north shore of Lake Superior. He had a vife and two sons, who were usually eft in the lodge while he went out in uest of the animals upon whose flesh hey subsisted. As game was then bundant, his exertions were well re. yarded, and he lived in the enjoyment If every blessing. But there was at this ime venom preparing for his heart, which was not the less poisonous be. ause it was for a time kept in secret. lis two little sons had observed the lisits of a neighboring hunter during he absence of their father, and they yentured to remonstrate with their mother on the propriety of receiving landestine visits; but she was in no emper to be reasoned with. She re- )uked them sharply, and finally, on
  threatened to kill them if they made my disclosure. They were frightened nto silence, but observing the contin. lance of the visits, kept up by stealth IS it were, they resolved at last to dis lose the whole matter. to their fatheh. The result was such as might be antic. ipated. The father being satisfied with The infdelity, took up war club at a moment when he was not perceived md with single blow despatched the ,bject of his jealousy. He then buried Ter under the ashes of his fire, took down his lodge, and removed to a distant point.
 But the spirit of the woman haunted he children, who were now grown up O the estate of young men. She ap. )eared to them in the shadows of even 'ng. She terrified them in dreams. She larrassed their imagination wherever they wentn, so that their life was life of perpetual terrors. They resolved to cave the country, and commenced a journey of many days toward the soluth. They at length came to the Piowateeg 'alls est. Mary 's). But they had no .ooner come in sight of these falls than they beheld the skull of woman (their mother) rolling along the beach after them. They were in the utmost fear and knew not what to do to elude her, when one of them observed large ,rane sitting on rock in the rapids. They called out to the bird: "See, grandfather, we are persecuted by a spirit. Come and take us across the falls, so that we may escape her."
 This crane was bird of extraordi nary size and great age. And when first deserted by the two sons sat in a state of stupor in the midst of the most violent eddies in the foaming water. When he heard himself ad- dressed he stretched forth his neck with great deliberation, and then rais- ing himself on his wings flew to their assistance. "Be careful,' said the
