Woman Slapped Man. |1 On a Coast Line train from Albany, Ga., Friday, Mrs. McBride, oi New Orleans, was insulted by a mar named Faircloth, supposed to be ir an intoxicated condition. As he was about to get off a1 P Camilla, Ga., the lady notified Conductor Lewis and the offender was eolared by him. The lady, slighl % ?f statute and dressed in black, approached the man in custody, and \ with several vicious swings slapped both cheeks until they were red. The man was held by the conductor at the ; lady's request, as she thought he ought to be punished. When the incident had passed, the j * man left the train apparently satisfled that he deserved the punishment and the woman wept for some time, becoming very much wrought up over the situation. The incident caused < - ' some little excitement on the train ; and was witnessed by all the pass; engers in the coach. Experiments have shown conclusively that harrowing soon aftei P;--'- plowing and occasionally up to seeding time will increase the yield ol fall-sown crops enough more thar when no harrowing is done until jusl I before seeding, to pay a handsome P profit on the work. There are twc reasons for this: First, the clods break up easier and better immediately after plowing, and second, the moisture in the ground is conserved P better, which is a very importanl matter in fall seeding and owing tc the fact that our falls are usuallj very dry.?Progressive Farmer.

Alabama Must Borrow Million to Fill Empty Treasury. r With the treasury so badly deplete ed that money must be borrowed to ; pay the November expenses, the real r effect of the loss of liquor permits is ?f beginning to be felt in Alabama, i- Fifty thousand dollars will be needl. ed at once, and before the end of the i, year nearly $1.000,0u0 must be obd tained, or debts will be deferred to o the collection of taxes early next s year. i- The legislature was lavish in expenditure, increasing salaries and ald lotments in almost every avenue of State control. This was at the regular session, and did not take into acr, count loss of liquor licenses, which n resulted from the adoption of Statewide prohibition at a special session n several months later. " The governor can borrow under the e law only $300,000, while the deficit n will run to practically three times >t that amount. At the same time there t, is talk that the practice of paying expenses from all funds may be stopped, on a probable ruling that taxes collected for old soldiers and schools can be used for no other purpose. > For the $50,000 borrowed interest of 3 3-4 per cent, is paid. Gov. Comer o says he will meet the emergency when I. it arrives. 0 Why Young Folks Leave the Farm. a In these days we are beginning to e hear much of the necessity for our - girls studying home economics and r learing the scientific facts underly1 ing home making, in order that they r may be able to build and keep better i homes at less cost of money and efa fort. Many conditions have conspir ed to make house work distateful to Southern women and consey quently in the homes as out on the fo o TI-Q have ct ffpneral tpndpnpv to - the extremes of drudgery and idlef ness. On many farms the life of the i mother is one of almost perpetual drudgery, without knowledge or mechanical or other devices to lighten her burdens. She is without the knowledge of the things which would i enable her to do her life worw with 5: the least labor necessary to obtain 5; efficiency. Is it any wonder that our 5! girls prefer to study music or elocu; tion, or work in the business office or ; the store, when they know the life i of drudgery which their mothers spend and have never been shown 5 either by example or precept the posf i sibilities of making home-building i | and household work a pleasant em.

Virginia Youth's Peculiar Affliction " Puzzles Medical Experts. t Richmond, Va., Nov. 11.?Medical - experts are interested in the case of 19-year-old Aubrey Wilson, of Nottoway county, who is totally blind in s the day but can see like a cat in the s dark. The young man can speed a - bicycle when the night is so dark that t ordinary people have to walk with - caution, but in the day he gropes - about with sightless eyes, able only r vaguely to distinguish any object, t and with no discrimination as to d colors. Because of his peculiar infirmity, the young man is noted as a possum hunter. He can distinguish a the animals in the trees in the dark e as readily as a dog can follow the i, scent. But a cabbage or a flower by e day are all the same to him. f "I have been trying to study to enter the University of Virginia," i- said the young man, "but I have > had a terrible time of it. I am told n that I have the Albino eye. So much n light enters in the day time that I is am blinded. All my life I have sufj, fered from this defect. I have spent d a small fortune on my eyes, but nothing seems to do them any good." ENGLISH ATROCITIES. Brutal Treatment of Women at Hands of Prison Officials. London, Nov. 12.?Those tenderhearted Englishmen who are always so greatly concerned about atrocities in the Congo, or Russia, or Morocco, now have an opportunity to shed a few tears about homegrown cruelty. Whatever one may think of the suffragettes and their methods of commanding attention, no real man can read of the atrocities perpetrated upon defenseless women in British jails without experiencing a boiling of the blood. The "water cure," as administered in the Philippines, were kindness compared with the treatment of some of the suffragettes. The physicians and jailers implicated in the atrocities do not deny them, but take a sort of pride in what they call the "humbling" of the suffragettes. Mrs. Leigh, one of the victims, tells a sworn story in which handcuffs, padded cells and worse atrocities figure. She was one of those who, when confined in prison, refused to partake of food. Her story is in part as follows: "On my arrival at Winsom Green Gaol I protested against the treatment to which I was subjected, and broke the windows in my cell. Ac cordingly at y ociock in tne evening I was taken to the punishment cell, a cold, dark room on the ground floor?light only shines on very bright days; no furniture in it. "A plank bed was brought in; I was then stripped and handcuffed with the hands behind during the day, except at meals, when the palms were placed together in front. At night they were also placed in front with the palms out. On Thursday food was brought into the cell? potatoes, bread and gruel?but I did not touch it. Thursday afternoon the visiting magistrates came. I was taken oefore them handcuffed. After hearing what I had to say they sentenced me to nine days' close confinement with bread and water,. and to lose forty-two days' remission marks and pay 5s. damage. The handcuffs were removed at midnight on Thursday by the matron's orders. I still refrained from food. "About noon on Saturday I was told the matron wished to speak to me, and was taken to the doctor's room, where I saw the matron, eight wardresses, and two doctors. There was a sheet on the floor and an armchair on it. The doctor said I was to sit down, and I did. "I was then surrounded and forced back on the chair, which was tilted backwards. There were about ten of them. The doctor then forced my mouth so as to form a pouch, and held me while one of the wardresses poured some liquid from a spoon?it was milk and brandy. After giving ??-? ? V. y-y 4-1* /M* rvVl 4- Timn Vt /-> IllC VV IId L UC CHUU?JL1L VY dO OUlUV/l^Ut, UL^ sprinkled me with eau de Cologne, and wardresses then escorted me to another cell on the first floor, where I remained two days. "On Saturday afternoon the wardresses forced me on the bed, and the two doctors came in with them, and while I was held down a nasal tube was inserted. It was two yards long, with a funnel at the end; there is a glass junction at the middle to see if the liquid is passing. The end is put up the nostril, one day and the other nostril the other. "Great pain is experienced during the process, both mental and physical. One doctor inserted the end up my nostril, while I was held down by the wardresses, during which they must have seen my pain. "The sensation is most painful; the drums of the ear seem to be bursting, a horrible pain in the throat and the breast. Before and after, they test my heart and make a lot of examination. The after-effects are a feeling of faintness, a sense of great pain in the diaphragm, or breast bone, in the nose and the ears. The tube must go below the breast-bone, though I cannot feel it below there. "I was very sick on tho first occaaion oftor tho tnho was withdrawn T have also suffered from bad indiges- 1 tion. I am fed In this way very irregularly. I have used no violence, though having provocation in being fed by force. I resist, and am overcome by weight of numbers. If the doctor does not think the fluid is going down sufficiently swiftly, he pinches my nose with the tube in it, and my throat, causing me increased pain." Things a Baby Can Do. It can beat any alarm clock ever invented waking a family up in the morning. Give it a fair show and can smash more dishes than the most industrious servant girl in the country. It can fall down oftener and with less provocation than the most expert tumbler in the circus ring. It can make more genuine fuss over a simple brass pin than the mother would over a broken back. It can choke itself black in the face with greater ease than the most accomplished wretch that ever was executed. It can keep a family in constant turmoil from morn till night and from night till morning, without one? varying its tune. It can be relied upon to sleep peacefully all day when its father is down town and cry persistently all night when he is particularly sleepy. It may be the naughtiest, dirtiest, ugliest, most fretful baby in all the world, but you can never make its mother believe it, and better not try. It can be a charming and a model infant when no one is around, bat when visitors are present it can exhibit more bad temper than both of its parents together. It can brighten up a house bettor than all the furniture ever made; make sweeter music than the finest orchestra organized; fill a larger place in its parents' breast than they knew they had, and when it goes away it can cause a greater vacancy and leave a greater blank than all the rest of the world put together.
