One hundred oana, with 80,000 shad in each, were emptied in the Savannah river near Augusta last week. The oar with the fish came from Washington, D. C., and the fish were only ten days old, and are called "fry shad." They aro only about a half an inch long and are almost perfectly transparent. They, are sent annually to tho river by Uncle Sam, who stocks nearly all the rivers in this way. This is the first shipment to be made this year from the Federal acquarium. Ruinous Rains in Texas. Reports from the cotton district in Central and Southern Texas show that the cotton in tho creek and river bottoms haB been greatly damaged and many thorsands of acres abso lutely ruined hy the heavy rains and the overtlows of the past ten days. In many instances there is no seed with which to replant, and tho farm ers will have to give up all hopo of a cotton crop this year unless the mer chants carrying thom can procure seed outside the State without the I loss of time, as it is now almost too late to replant. Twenty-Four Tons ol Gold. Last Wednesday and Thursday 24 tons of virgiu gold were thrown into the furnaces of the United States mint in Philadelphia. The value of this immense amount of precious metal will be, when coined, $12,000, OOO. This beats all records in mint ing. The present rate of coinage is also without precedent. Since Feb ruary more than $80,000,000 in gold double-eagles alone have been coined at the Philadelphia mint. As fast as tbe gold is coined and deposited in the vaults, the Treasury Depart ment issues gold certificates for the amount. Last Saturday $2,000,000 in $10,000 notes was shipped to one bank in New York. Some of the gold sent to the melting pot last week was shipped from New York in bullion. Suggestions tor Housekeepers. Housekeepers may be glad to know that instead of lard or bacon rind a turnip cut in half and the griddle thoroughly rubbed with the raw side will answer the purpose of greasing, fry the oak^s a nice rich rown, and there will bo no sticking, and no odor or taste of turnip. There is no smoke and mess as when lard is used, nor is tho nice flavor of the buckwheat destroyed aa by tho use of grease. Clean your iron cooking utensils with a piece of soft red brick. Brown paper moistened in vinegar will polish your tins until they shine like silver. Hub a drop of olive oil on your knives and forks before putting away and they will retain their brightness and be free from rust.

A dispatch from Knoxville, Tenn., says that Ex-Governor liol) Taylor has settled the case of alimony brought by bis wife. The decree gave her alimony in the sum of $5,655 and the ownership of three lots in Memphis. A decree was handed down in Chancery Court May 2 by which Mrs. Alice Fritz Hill, of Montgomery, was given a permanent divorce from thc former Governor. State Superintendent of Educa tion Martin has issued a circular let ter to the County Superintendents of Education calling their attention to the fact that owing to the great ex pense connected with summer schools and stating that unless there were as many as twenty teachers in attend ance the schools would only run two weeks instead of a month. Mr. Martin asks that a sample of a rural library be also placed in each school. News from Missouri continues to be indicative of Mr. Folk's success in his candidacy for Governor. Asked for an explanation of how ho has won his remarkable victory over thc machine and the boodlers, Mr. Folk is quoted as saying : "Merely by appealing directly to the people.

A disastrous freight wreck oc curred on the Pennsylvania railroad near Trenton, N. J., last Thursday morning, when the fast freight from Philadelphia plunged into a land slide oaused by the overflowing of the Delaware and Karitan canal. From fifteen to eighteen cars, loaded with merchandise, valued at thou sands of dollars, wore ground up in the wreck. So complete was the destraction that it was impossible to tell just how many cars were in tho smash-up, as it will be necessary to count the twisted trucks beforo this oan be done. By a miracle no one was injured. . A mystery which has baffled thu I members of the Missouri World's ! Fair Commission for several weeks waa cleared on Saturday by tho re covery of two flying squirrels which were brought fiosn the northern part ul the State to be exhibited in the Fish and Game Department, says the St. Louis Republic. Bf sides rejoicing at the recovery >f the squirrel?, the member? of the commission are elated at the compli ment which the little animals paid to the big pioture which has been made of Missouri products. The flying squirrels were brought to the exposition grounds six weeks ago by J.H. Ridgeway, Superintend ent of the Fish and Game Depart ment. They were housed in the Missouri shops with other animais whioh are to bo in the exhibit. The second day after their arrival the squirrels disappeared. A thorough search was made, but no trace of toe animals could be found. About the time of the disappear* ance of the squirrels, tho artificial landscape was completed by E. T. Allen, the designer. The pioture was left in the shoo and a canvas sheet was dropped in front of it. Saturday, it was deoided to re move tho picture to the Agricultural Building, and all of the commission ers assembled to superintend the task. When the canvas was re moved the crowd which was admir ing the picture was startled to see two animals fly from a little tree which had been worked into the landscape. "There are my flying squirrels," exclaimed Mr. Ridgeway, as he watched tho little animals perch themselves on a rafter. Before attempting to capture the squirrels the picturo was examined closely, and, much to tho surprise of tho commissioners, a nest full of young flying squirrels was found snugly lodged in the forks of the sapling. President Davis, of tho commis sion, ordered the nest to be unmo lested. Tho young squiriels wore removed and placed in a cage and thc parent squirrels were recaptured. The nest will remain in the picture. "Our picture is so real that even the instinct of those little animals could not distinguish the difference," said President Davis, as he told the story to a group of incredulous friends at tho Southern Hotel. "I admit it sounds like a 'snake story,' " added Mr. Davis, "but the nest and young flying squirrels are there to prove the truth of tho cir cumstances." A Mistake Many Are Making. A little girl saw a picture of tho fabled Atlas bearing the world on his shoulders. She noted the strong man struggling under his heavy bur den, his head bowed forward, his shoulders strained, his every muscio tense, his face and form showing signs of painful effort and endurance, and her tender heart went out to him in pity. "Father," she asked in anxious earnest, "why doesn't that man lay that thing down ?" And her father's answer was: "Because he supposes that he ought to carry tho whole world on his shoulders." And his is a mistake that a great many of us are making. How many of the burdens that oppress us arc burdens that wo have no call to carry 1 We worry over matters that are outside of our sphere, and we are ready lo sink beneath tho weight of cares and anxieties that would better be left to him who alone can carry them. Whatever wc have to carry, the Lord will give us strength to up bear ; but there is many a burden which we would do well to cast on the Lord, because it is His burden for us and not ours for Him.-The Girl's Companion.

I i ? To ?peak of "a sober stan who ?dually needs whiskey every day,'' ss an advocate of the dispensary did a abort time rgo, ie like ?peaking of | a healthy man who is sick every day. Such a man would hardly be j called "a sober man" by a discrimi nating public. Drunkard would most likely be the word used to de scribe a mao who needs whiskey every day. It doesn't sound so' well, but is more appropriate, as a sober man does not use whiskey at all. This reminds UB of an old story that we hope will bear repeating, of an English dude who visiteo our country some years ago and while bore made the remark to an Ameri can girl that he did not like America. She asked for his reasons and be re plied : "Why, ab, you have no aristocracy over here, don't you know, ah ?" "What do you mean by aristoc racy ?" - "People who don't work." "O, yes, we have a good many people like that, only we don't ca fl them aristocracy." "What do you call them?" "We call them tramps.". * * ? The report of Chief Constable Hammett as to the workings of the j S.tate dispensary und the constabu lary force during the first quarter of 1904, as compared with the same period in 1908, show that the in crease in the cost of the constabu lary during the period was $2,234.88 ; I the inorease in the value of seizures j was $9,417.65 ; the increase in the ml s of local dispensaries was $98, 910.46 ; and the increase iu the sales >! the State dispensary was $158, 328.57. It has long been admitted, | we believe, that the dispensary sys tem is a step away from prohibition rather than a step toward it.-Daily Mail. The application of the laws of I beridity to the drink curse have long | t>een known. How suffering and misery are brought upon the inno-1 sent and helpless by this means is | >>eyond all human computation. Dr. Paul Gamier, of Paris, who has been making a special study of the chil li cn of habitual drunkards, comes to ibis conclusion : "There is a flaw tho very nature of these young wretches that the psychologist sees clearly and notes with apprehension -the absence of effectionate emo tion ; and when they do not become lunatics they show insensibility and uitilessness." In no department of human thought and endeavor has the tem perance cause made more notable progress in recent years than in that >f medical science. Alcoholic liquors, instead of being regarded as a pana jea for all human ills, as they were j ^ears ago, are fast being excluded 'rom medical practice generally. Almost without exception, all great| London physicians, and all groat sur geons, are in favor of total absti ?ence. Some surgeons will not un lertake to perform operations upon Jerons who have been addicted to Irink ; they value their reputations tm highly to risk failure. ? * . It is gratifying to learn from a iquor organ that the Supreme Court >f Michigan has struck the sa loon tecpers of that Stato "a hard blow."

There aro some young people who ! ?bject to the temporalice pledge on .he ground that it is a surrender of mic's freedom. But a successful merchant, who left his Vermont] lome many years ago, found ita pre icrver of freedom. This is the ex perience aB ho related it in after lifo "I had been reading books about | lie ocean and the ships which sailed t, and I became infatuated with the life of a sailor, and determined that) wheo I was old enough I would go :o sea. At length tho time oamc when, much againat my mother's ^reference, but at last with her con ant, arrangements were made fori me to ship on a vessel from New Vork. Well do I remember the | morning when I loft tho home cot tage on thc hillside, all my little be ongiiigH tied up in a parcel that was iwung on a stick which I carried >ver my shoulder. My mother fol owed me to the garden gate, and .hero she kissed ino good-bye and I passed down tho road. At a turn in lie road I glanced back to take one moro look at our cottage. My mother was still standing at the gate. Some impulse carried rae back to get] me more kiss. "'Promise me,'said she, 'promise me that you will never swear nor -ainltle nor drink,' and I promised der and sealed it with a kiss, as tin tears rolled down her cheeks and mingle with my own. Long years have passed since then. I have been many times around the world ; have been to China and Japan and thc South Sea Islands. I have been oftentimes sorely tempted, tm with God's help I have never broken the pledge I made my mother. I nm an old man now.

A bright and intelligent Japanese, who waa brought over to thia country aa a servant by the late Admiral Beardsley, hat been very successfully oonduoting silk culture in one of the outhouses upon the late admiral's premises, lie now has about 80,000 worms in various stages of work and has already shipped to Washington fifty poonda of uooooua. Ho is thoroughly familiar with the habits and care of the insects and their management. He has had to start under some disadvantages in not procuring the mulberry leaves at first, but has been purchasing the leaves wherever they oould be found in the neighborhood and will soon be free from that inconvenience, as he has planted some aorea in the white mulberry plants, that rapidly grow into trees. He has distributed some of bis worms to others who are begin ning to take an interest in the cul ture, and Beaufort is likely to have a revival of the monis multioaulis fever that, about three-quarters of a century, prevailed to a greater or less extent in parts of this State. Will Roll Biri ta WorM't Fair. Walter A. Dobson, of Savannah, formerly of Atlanta, has come to the front with a queer proposition. He wants to roll a wheelbarrow to St. Louis. He wants, moreover, to have some young woman as the occupant of the wheelbarrow. The stipulation is that she must be young and at tractive, and bantam weight, not more than 110 pounds. In return for these qualifications she is to get one-third of what Dobson may be able t<> make out of the game. Dob son says he has talked with three young women, all of whom are anx ious to go. He is yet to select his partner. Dobson's sohemo is to advertise the fair, and be paid by the management, also to be paid by newspapers with whioh he will cou tract to furnish stories.

Six or eight years ago the common opinion prevailed that our soil was suit, able for only one orop, cotton. Thon our farmers were in debtnnd their fanni: were misorablo weed patches. All this has been charged. Tho farmers, as a rule, are out of debt; their farms are in nice condition ; they live in better houses ; their food is better: they wear better clothes, and their children are at school. On every band are evidences of improve ment. The deposits in mir looal bank amount to $60,000 to $70,000, and the depositors are our own people. The credit for all thlaJs duo to tobacco and truck. Besides strawberries, vegetables are grown in considerable quantities. Wo have from four to B?X hundred aeres n beans, and will put upon the market or ty to fifty thousand orates. There are some fifty acres in encumbers. The lettuce thia year brought the growers retnrna at the rat? of nearly $8,000 per acre. I feel sure that our trucking busi ness amounts to from seventy-five to a hundred thousand dollars a year. Hems of New? ol th? Pus! Week Gathered Iront Various Sources. .

Tho novel "Robinson Crusoe" was toundell on the experiences of a cer tain Alexander Selkirk, who presided Four years on tho island of Juan Fer nandez, in the Paoifio Ocean, says NV. B. Northrop, in St. Nicholas. Capt. Rogers, commander of the vessel which rescued Selkirk, related tho story, and Defoe afterwards worked it up into the narrative now so familiar to all. It was for this reason that Defoe was accused of pilfering the manuscript, and even to having stolen many letters belong ing to Selkirk. Defoe is said to have made a snug fortune from the sale of "Robinson Orusoe," and out of the proceeds of the book to have built a fine houso for himself in a suburb of London.
