Climate and Soil

/ The climate is such that far
mers do not have to house
stock during the winter, there
being good grazingtheentire
year. For raising cattle and
stock Georgia offers greater
inducements than can be
| found elsewhere.
The soil is suited for almost
anything that grows and can
be utilized the entire year.
The prices at which good
farm land can be purchased
at present in Georgia are so
/ low that it is a matter of
comment - some thinking
that the land is not so good
as stated. The land is good,
but there are thousands of
acres that are now lying idle
and the good people of
Georgia are anxiousf for good
farmerstocomeamongthem
/ Consequently the land is
cheaper here than elsewhere.

Sergeant HaIliweIrs Feat at the Siege
of Lucknow
During the siege of Lucknow in the
Indian mutiny there was afforded what
was probably the most notable instance
Of the record in war Of crack shot
The rebels were endeavoring to
mount two contemporaries. which
they had hauled up to the fiat roof of
one of the palaces surrounding the res
idency, and it WAS necessary to pre-
vent this being done, or they would
have been able TO E3ur down a heavy
fire on the defender Sergeant Halli-
well was chosen for this duty. lie was
a crack shot of the Thirty-Second foot
Being given the best rife that could
be found. his orders were TO prevent
the guns being mounted. He took up
his position behind some battered down
masonry where there was. only cover
for MIN to lie at full length lie re
manned in that position. il is said. for
several days. not being able to stand,
inaSmuch as that would have resulted
in instant death His only change was
to roll over from his back TO his stom-
ach His eyes We're ever kept on the
dismounted guns. and whenever the
Sepoys attempted to mount them his
unerring rifle PLAYED havoc among
them and prevented their object being
accomplished Food was brought to
him at night by men who crawled to
his position
After some time a sortie was made
and the Sepoys were defeated For
this brave work Sergeant Halliwell re-
ceived the Victoria cross - Harpers

Seven In the Bible.

The number seven plays a prominent
part in events in the Bible. The crea
ton took six days, and on the seventh
there was rest On the seventh day of
the seventh month holy observance
was ordained. and the Israelites feast
ed seven days and rested seven days.
Noah had seven days warning of the
food, and the seven years of plenty
were foretold in Pharaoh's dream by
seven fat beasts, as were the seven lean
years by seven lean beasts. We speak
Of the seven heavens, and the seventh
son was supposed to be endowed with
pre-emRent wisdom In short. there is
no other number which enters into the
Bible SO often as seven No doubt the

GENIUS AND VANITY.
Schopenhauer Was Not Bit Afraid to
Praise Himself Out Loud

Schopenhauer, the great German phi
losopher afforded one of the most re-
nurkabIe examples of self compacency
that has ever been known. His naive
euogisms on his own productions are
almost beyond belief In writing to
his publishers of bis work he says:
Its worth and Importance are so
great that do not venture to express
it even toward you because you could
not believe me-" and he proceeds to
quote "A review (which speaks of me
with the highest praise as the greatest
philosopher of the age. which is really
saying much less than the good man
thinks"
Sir" he said to an unoffending
stranger who watched him across y
table d'hNte where he acted the part of
the local lion" habitually-"sir, you
are evidently astonished at my appe.
tite True. eat three times as much
as you, but then have three times as
much mind"
Auerbach. the German novelist, also
had a great appreciation of his own
powers and work. and many stories
are told of the obtrusive way in which
he displayed his vanity. A German
writer says Of him: Every year Auer-
bach visits three or four fashionable
watering places, mt each of which the
following episode occurs at least thirty
times The novelist INDUCES in small
talk with the little children of the ma
tives and invariably ends the CONVEX
sation thus: Knowest thou who has
been talking with thee? Behold Auer
bach Tell that at homer"

Macaulay as a Talker.

in the sentence. He gave society more

CONQUEST OF THE AIR.
First Public Flight of an AeropIane In

In The Curtiss Aviation Book'
Glenn Curtiss describes the first public
aeropane flight in America. in the days
before any one had ever heard OF the
young Yankee inventor. and he was ex-

jumped into the air This was what we
had worked for through many long
months. and naturally we watchedsthe
brief and uncertain course Of Baldwin
with a good deal of emotion.
Rising to height of six or seven
feet, Baldwin flew the unheard of dis
lance of 3lS feet II inches! Then he
came down ingloriously on one wing
AS we learned afterward the frail
framework of the tail had bent and the
machine had Topped over on its side
and dropped on the wing. which gave
way and caused the machine to turn
completely around
ut had taken just seven weeks to
build the machine and get 1t ready for
the trial; it had taken just about twen-
ty seconds 10 smash it. But a great
thing had been accomplished We had
