Every once in awhile some florist
gets busy and puts some odd colored
blossoms in his window rs an extra
attraction to the display" said a club
man. Il just noticed one down the
street. 1t consisted Of n bunch Of i'm
possibly green carnations. At first
glance n good many people thought
they were made Of paper. but they got
interested when they found out that
they were natural Now, anybody
who wants TO have any OF these freak
flowers can get them by buying some
kind Of aniline ink. any color desired.
Carnations are the easiest 10 color
white ones. of course. Put their stems
I'm Il glass filed with ink. Their stems
are soft and in n short while tn
larger veins In their petals are filed
with the ink. Don't let them absorb
too much color. They are prettier
with just so much. Then remove
them and put them in vase of salt
water. Lilies Of the valley lend them
selves TO this scheme also. In fact.

The following bit Of humor is taken
from "The FarringdOns." an English
romance. The speakers are Mrs Bate
son and Mrs. Hankey. worthy wives.
but not altogether above feeling a GER
tain pleasure in showing up the ways
of husbands:
They've no sense. men haven't"
said Mrs. Hankey; that's what's the
matter with them"
you never spoke a truer word, Mrs.
Hankey.' replied Mrs BatesOn. The
very best Of them don't properly know
the difference between their souls and
their stomachs. and they fancy they
are a-wreSting with their doubts when
really it IS their dinners that are wres-
tling with them.
"Now, take BatcSon hiSSelf," con-
tinued Mrs Bateson a kinder hus-
band or better Christian never drew
breath. yet so sure rs he touches bit
of pork he begins to worry hisself
about the salvation of his soul till
there's no living with him. And then
he'll sit in the front paror and engage
in prayer for hours at a time till
says 20 him:
"'Bateson.' says |. I'D be ashamed
to 90 troubling the Lord with a prayer
when a pinch Of carbonate Of soda
would set things straight again."

f the Milledgeville Asylum. There
is no treatment given for nervous
diseases. One prescription regularly
used is knocking you down. 1t sure
ly causes the heart to futter, but
has soothing effect. A physician
of Macon has a son at the Asylum,
or did when I was there. | thought
sure he would be killed Employees
are trusted with swabbing of threats,
and using washes on patients eyes
when really this should be done by
the physician in charge of the hall.
Half the time, medicine is not given
to patients by the attendants, though
having been prescribed. This is true.
Reading in the Savannah Morning
News of Sunday, November 81,
1909, where the Committee of In
vestigation will make a report on
Decembe goth of the Asylum, I can
see where it will be a whitewash in
Vestigation.
Now, the people are disguised.
They will combine sometime and
clean the institution out from dome
Of roof to foundation and throw out
the political clique that deals I'M
justly, and hides fraud and decep-
that truth is lacking by some Of the
physicians at the Asylum.
Mr.. Editor, I do not wish to in
trude on your good nature and pa
tience, or disturb the minds of the
readers of your valuable, indepen-
dent paper, The JeffersOnian. I am
prompted in writing you this so that
the people of Georgia will know the
true condition of Asylum, Ga.
have never misrepresented anything:
the Institution itself has my good
WILL but I desire to see it's inmates
better fed, and many improvements
made which are lacking. A most
needed improvement is the screen
ing of dining-room. windows. The
flies swarm in and take possession
of the bread hours before the pa
TENTS are called to meals-this
bread is cut several hours in ad-
vance. The employees are treated
quite differently.
Another matter of much impor
lance to health is the beds. [ slept
for over three years on a mattress
that several men had died on. 1t
was very soiled, bed-ticking all
gone. The blankets have a terrible
odor, having been used for years
without washing Is this sanitary?
Did DR.. w. F. Drummer know this
state of affairs existed when he was
Trustee of Asylum?
Three years ago, a Legislative
Committee was appointed to look
into the Asylum affairs. James K.
Hines, of Milledgeville, Ca, was it's
Chairman. 1 had asked permission
to speak a few words. I stated that

going to tell some of the hardships

the States doctors called me down.
