What the Contention Is.


law against intoxicants being kept in
a public place is constructed by the
court as follows:
"(a). The phrase public place,
used in the prohibition law by
broad general and not constructive
definition includes any place which
from its public character members
of the general public frequent or
where they may be expected to con-
gregate at any time as a matter of
common right; also any place at
which even though it is privately or
conducted as a number of persons
have assembled through common
usage or by general and indisCrimi-
nate invitation, expressed or implied;
it includes those places which though
publicly owned are devoted to a pri-
vate use and are not open to the
access of the public; also other places
owned or controlled from which the
indiscriminate public is generally eX-
cluded, Notwithstanding that at a
particular time in question a number
of persons may have cOngregated
there if the congregation is the re-
suit of a special invitation for that
occasion alone.
"(b). A town guard house rela-
lively to a prisoner confined in a cell
therein with a safe construction is
not public place.
"(c). A persons residence, prima-
rily, is not a public place, though it
may become so through the use to
which the owner devOtes it."

Dealing With the Rum Evil.

rum, which has doomed up in the
legislative horizon as a monster big

DEFINES A PUBLIC PLACE
DECISION BY GEOR-
GIA COURT OF APPEALS.
In Your Home or in Your Room at
Your Hotel You Can Treat Your
Friends, or at a Picnic
or Barbecue.

In a decision just handed down
the state court of appeals places a
clear construction on the public
place" phrase of the prohibition law
1t was made on an appeal brought
by attorneys representing Charlie
Cooke, of Oglethorpe, Macon county,
who was convicted in the city court
of that place of keeping intoXicants
in a public place. The case is odd
in that the public place" alleged
is a prison cell. 1t appears that
while confined in jail Charlie gave
to a companion sundry drinks of
Chattanooga whiskey, which had
been obtained from a liberal supply
kept at his home.
In deciding the case the court does
not confine itself to the one place
in question, but to public places in
general. The trial court is reversed.

schiaparelIi's Discoveries.

Thirty years ago what were taken
for the continents of Mars, seemed,
as one would expect continents seen
at such a distance to appear, virtually
featureless. In 1877 a remarkable
observer made still more wonderful
discovery, for in that year Schiapar-
ELI, in scanning these continents,
CHANGED upon long, narrow markings
in them which have since become
famous as the canals of Mars. Sur
prising as they seemed when first i'm
perfectly made out, they have grown
only more wonderful with study. 1t
is certainly no exaggeration to say
that they are the most astonishing
objects to be viewed in the heavens.
There are celestial sights more daz-
zling, spectacles that inspire more
awe, but to the thoughtful observer
who is privileged to see them well
there is nothing in the sky so pro-
foundly impressive as these canals of
Mars. Little gossamer filaments
only, cobwebbing the face of the
Marian disk, but threads to draw
ones mind after them across the
millions of miles of intervening void.

BY a woman Halter.

A woman isn't necessarily an old
hen because she is set in her ways.
Many woman marries for money
because she can't think of any other
excuse.
Being an endless affair, a wedding
ring frequently gets one into no end
of trouble.
If a bride isn't homesick for her
family six months after marriage it's
a sign she married the right man.
Clever doctors can induce a woman
to take any kind of medicine by tell
ing her it will clear her complexion.
A woman may be able to conceal
the fact that she has store teeth, but
che can't very well hide her big feet.
Love may be blind, yet a girl can
see more in the man of her choice
than a physician can with the aid of
an X-ray machine.
A woman's idea of economy is to
take an old $998 hat and fix it over
at cost of $12, so that it will look
like new.
A woman thinks she has the
worst of the bargain unless she can
see where she got more than her
moneys worth.
A girl always expects man to
think her hair curls of it's own ac-
cord even when she knows he knows
that it doesn't.-New York Journal.

Books win Be No More.

DR.. Marago, of Paris, is photo
graphing the human voice, and with a
powerful magnifying glass he is able
to read the records of a person talk
ing. 1t is the belief of certain scien-
lists that these voice photographs
eventually will take the place of
writing and alphabets altogether.
Stenography, too, would be abolished.
Instead of writing letter the sender
would talk into the microphone, pull
out the strip of zigzags when through
and post it. Forgery would be out
of the question, for it is absolutely
impossible to deceive the electric
needle, which faithfully records every
shade of tone. For books and news
papers the idea is to have coagen-
tional imitation of zigzags of the
various yowels and consonants in the
form of type. which will be set in
lines like ordinary printed matter.
Telephone conversations would be as
binding as a written contract to-day.

Origin Of Names For Fabrics.

In connection with the insistently
clinging character of velvet it may
be noted that this stuff takes its name
from the Italian "yelluto," shaggy,
offering in this respect parallel with
SATIN" which comes from the Latin
"seta," bristle.
AS a general rule it is pretty safe
to guess that the name of a dress ma
terial comes from some place. Be-
sides such obvious cases as "astrak-
ham," cashmere" and tweed" there
are "fustian" (the humble analogue
of velvet, from Fustat (Cairo) !;
muslin" from Mosul, in Mesopo-
tamia; "damask," from Damascus,
and cambria" from Cambria, while
millinery" itself is from Milan.
The case of silk" is serious one.
1t is "sericum," the stuff obtained
from the Sores or Chinese; but these
people seem to have been named in
ancient Greek after the Chinese word
for lkworm.-London Chronicle.

The SUPPRESSION Of Consumption.

There is good reason to believe
that any infectious disease can be
suppressed. We no longer greatly
fear yellow fever. 1t has yielded to
methods of suppression even in its
strongholds. Smallpox, the first of
all infectious diseases that was treat
ed scientifically, still makes itself
felt as scourge; but it Is due only
to the ignorance and prejudice of
those who will not avail themselves
of the very simply and long estab-
lished means of preventing the mall
ady. The one plague that holds it's
place obstinately, that refuses to
surrender to any sort of treatment, is
consumption. Yet it is an infectious
disease and communicated only by
germs; and it has no power to con-
vey itself through the air, but only
or at least almost Altogether, by
means of food and water. 1t makes
its way to the lungs, or whatever
part of the body 1t attacks, almost ex-
clusively by the way of the stomach
The knowledge of this fact has in
spired the hope that 1.-The white
plague might be made easily to
yield to the treatment that has
proved itself effective in some sim
liar diseases-namely by isolating
the MISUNDERSTANDING Christian ADJ
vocate.
