Jet.

In his 'Mirror of Stones" Camillus Leonardus calls jet black amber" and states that it possesses the peculiar property of attracting to it when rub bed light substances of all kinds. He also tells us that the thin smoke pro- duced by this friction of rubbing was used by the ancient Britains for driv- ing away devils and dissolving spells.
 "Jet,' says pr. Yourg, appears to be wood in a high state of bituminiza- tion." And certainly jet often appears with traces of ligneous structure. At the same time there are specimens of bones which seemingly have been grad ually impregaatsad with and at last wholly replaced by this substance. Among the jet rock there is found a liquid hydrocarbon somewhat resem- bling petroleum oil. which occurs in the cavities of ammonites, etc. and is also sometimes found in nodules, the presence of which is generally sup posed to point to a rich vein of jet.
 From these and other observations it would appear that jet existed as liquid substance and that this sSb- stance gradually permeated between the laminations of the shales. etc. GOV ering over or in some cases entirely re- placing any woody matter which it met with.-New York Post.

Snuff Spoons.

All the world is familiar with srHff- boxes. but snuff spoons are pretty lit tie refinements of which this genera tion has hardly heard. Very proba ply they came into use about two years after Sir George Rooke's expedition to Vigo bay in 1702. when he captured half a ton of tobacco and snuff from the Spanish galleons. and snuff thus became a common article in England.
 One of the characters in a comedy published at Oxford ill 17O4, entitled "An Act at Oxford" by Thomas Baker, says, But carry sweet snuff for the ladies'" to which Arabella re- plies: "A spoon too. That's very gal lant, for to see some people run their fat fingers into a box is as nauseous as eating without fork"
 In the forties and 1ifties of the last century snuff spoons were still in use on the Scottish border. They were of bone and of size to go into the snuff box. People fed their noses. it was said. as naturally as they carried soup to their mouths. As late as 1877 a farmer at Norha ham-on-Tweed was seen using one.-London Saturday Review.

A TOUCHING AND TENDER TRIBUTE.
Takes Action
Of Home

, too soon, from the clutches of the
proving wolf who should have been
her protector instead of would-be de-
famer.
BY Mr.. Crittenden's efforts and ex-
ample manhood has been placed on
a higher plane. For him there was
no double standard of morals, but
with simple child-like faith he ac-
cepted the truth that the Command
ments were for man and woman
alike. Since man is supposed to be
the stronger through him he makes
the plea for woman, remembering
that Christ commanded those who
had not sinned to cast the first stone,
and that as yet the stone has not
been thrown. At the same time
while Christ did not condone the sin
he said unto the woman: "Thy sins
be forgiven thee"
Mr. Crittenten's life cry to his
brother man was:
Eye with mothers, wives and sisters
True and pure and good,
Spurn not her, stained, yet holy
In her womanhood
Smite her not with your reproaches,
Speak not of her shame,
But from scorn of men defend her
In the Savior's name"
The life of this man has told for
good as much as that of any man
living or dead, and the work started
| by him will widen and strengthen,
through the help of God, until men
come nearer living up to the image
/ of their Creator and women are
stronger and safer from the wiles of
the devil incarnate. Therefore be it
resolved,
That the Florence Crittenten cir
Gle of Dawson thank God for the life
of such a man, and that they will
henceforth make a stronger effort to
rescue the perishing, care for the
dying and tell them Of Jesus, the
mighty to save.
/ Be it further resolved, That this
Circle, moved by the life work OF
Rev. c. n. Crittenten, call upon the
manhood and womanhood of our own
town, in the name of Christ, to put
down foul SANDER and
"Tenderly an erring sister
Back to virtue guide,
Holier work your hands can do no
In this Christmas tide.
Turn her from the path of sorrow
She has darkly trod,
And in mercy lead the wanderer
Back to home and God"

Rev. c. n. Crittenten. founder OF
the Florence Crittenten Homes of tie
world, died recently on the golden
shores of the Pacific in the city of San
Francisco, Cal, after a short attack
of pneumonia.
Years ago Mr.. Crittenten's heart
was touched by the hopeless, wretch
ed state of the outcasts of New York
city, and began the work of draw
ing them in by establishing the
Bleckly street mission, out of which
grew the Florence Crittenten Homes
of America and the Old World.
These homes are houses of refuge for
fallen women who have repented OF
their waywardness and wish to live
better lives.
Mr.. Crittenten devoted the income
from his princely fortune toward the
maintenance Of these homes. But
more than that, he plunged his heart,
mind and soul into the work, giving
his entire time to uplifting and say
ing those wretched creatures who
had yielded to temptation, and but
for these efforts had gone down to
the depths of despair. He rescued
from living hell, pointed the way to
Christ and gave to the poor, weak
wanderer another chance in the
world that had in many instances
given only cuffs and kicks.

He did not pay the fine and is serv-

could get the money to gain his free

SHOO, FLY! DON'T YOU BOTHER Me
The Danger to Mankind Of the Filthy Little Pest Is
Told to Dawson School Children.

1t is a little late for fly time, but
Friday was fly day in Dawson.
The pestiferous and filthy little
insect that is the bane of housewives
and baldheads was mathematical
and held up to scorn and condemna-
ton as it never was before in this
city except when The News, some
time ago, printed the opinion of the
housefly of one of the able and
learned medicine men in the pay of
the United States government.
The Georgia Medical Society is
making war on the housefy, or, as
they call it, the typhoid fly" and
a physician has been appointed in
each county to wage the fight against
this enemy of cleanliness and menace
to mankind. DR.. j. G. Dean was
placed at the head of the campaign
in Terrell, and it is his purpose to
visit the different schools of the coun-
ty and explain to teachers and chill
dren the danger of the fly as a dis
tributor of diseases Through the
children he will send literature into
the homes that will explain much of
interest to the parents
On Friday afternoon DR.. Dean
visited the Dawson public schools
and made an interesting talk on the
subject of flies. Because of a sys-
tematic fight that has been made
upon the mosquito, he said, people
have learned to fear this small in
sect and to do all they can to eX-
terminate it. They know it is a dis
tributor of malaria, and in some in
stances of yellow fever. The small
house fly is much more to be feared,
as the diseases it spreads are even
more deadly and much more num-
erous. In fact, there is scarcely a
germ disease that the fly does not
distribute. Consumption, typhoid fe- |
yer, bowel complaint and gangrene |
are among the diseases that can be |
carried by the fly
The fact that flies breed so fast, |
one pair of them producing over a |
seXtilliOn of their kind in one season, |
makes it almost a matter of impos- !
sibility to exterminate them. The |
only remedy now known, the doctors
tell US, is perfect cleanliness in the |
home-especially in the cook room, |
where the fly gets in it's work by in
fecting the food from its feet as it |
crawls
Flies breed in stables, trash and |
garbage cans; in fact, in any filth /
they can find, and never travel far |
from the place where they are bred,
The secret of determination, there
fore, is to be clean,
