Bringing up Children Rationally.
It is as natural to a child ^to be happy
as it is to a fish to swim. But for this
they, need a certain amount of "letting
alone." It is a great mistake for parents
to hamper their children with foolish
restrictions. We pity the little B's, our
next-door neighbor's children, from the
bottom of our heart. There is a picket
fence in front of the housemand they are
scarcely allowed to go near Holest they
should climb and hurt themselves. They
cannot climb a tree for the same reason.
They may not skate or swim, or have a
goo. The consequence of this training
is that their parents have made cowards
of them all, with the exception of little
Bessie, who is the most daring little mis?
chief that ever wore a sun-bonnet, and
she has learned to be deceitful and plays
all her mad pranks well out of sight pf |
her parent's eyes. We caught her the
'other day walking the railing of a bridge
that crossed the track of a railroad a
hundred feet below. The railing was not
?a foot wide, and she triumphantly told
us that she had walked it while the train
was passing ander. It was euough to
make one shudder.
Don't fancy yonr boy is made of glass.
Grant a reasonable request, and let him
feel that, ?hon yon refuse, it is for his
own good. Between the Jellybys and
the Grandgrinds of life, children have a
hard time of it. The youngest child
needs some sort of agreeable occupation,
and a certain amount of physical free?
dom. There is nothing more painful to
young people than to feel that life is one
dull routine, and that "nothing ever hap?
pens," as we once heard a disconsolate
lad remark.
Umbrellas*
Notwithstanding the constant demand
for umbrellas, comparatively few people
really know how they are made. The so
called umbrella manufacturer does little
more than put the different parts of the
umbrella together. - He buys the sticks,
the caps,. the ferrules and the sticks
ready made. The covering he buys by
the piece, and it is the cutting and fitting
of the covering which constitutes his
chief claim to the. title of manufacturer.
The cloth is first hemmed: that is, the
edges are bound, usually with a thin silk
cord. The cloth is then given to the
cutter, who separates it into triangular
pieces. .Much care is used in catting the
clothj and for his guidance the cutter
employs a triangular tool very much-like
a carpenter's compass, the size 6f which
can be varied to suit the demands of the
about-to-be umbrella. The triangles of
cloth are then sawed together by machin?
ery and stretched over and tied upon the
frame. The caps and- ferrules are fitted
upon the sticks and the umbrella is then
ready to protect unfortunate humanity
from- the dew drops of heaven or the
drizzle of New York.
Bat, although nearly every one owns
an umbrella, there are but few manufac?
turers in this country, and the majority
of these are in New York and Phfla
phia. One of those in this city is.|
said to .turn oat 10,000 pieces (umbrellas
and parasols) daHy-^-iv*. Y. World.
Didn't Know Adam.
As Artemus Ward was once traveling
in the cars, dreading- to .be bored and
feeling miserable, a . man approached
him, sat down and said:
"Did you hear the last thing on Horace
r/Greeleyi"
"Greeley ??. . Greeley ?" said Artemus.
[? "Horace Greeley? Who is he?"
1 The man was quiet about five minutes.
Pretty soon he said:
"George Francis Train is kicking up a
good deal of a row over in England; do
you think they will put him in a bas
?tile?"
"Train? Train? George Francis
Train ?" said Artemus, solemnly, I never
heard of him."
This ignorance kept the man quiet for
I.fifteen minutes; then he'Baid:
'' "WhaTT do you think about Gen.
Grant's chances for the presidency ? Do
you think they will run him ?"
"Grant? .Grant? Hang it, man,"
said Artemus, "you appear to know more
strangers than any man I ever saw."
The man was furious; he walked up
the car, but at last he came back and
said:
"You confounded ignoramus, did you
ever hear of Adam ?"
Artemus looked up and said.: " What
was his other name ?"
? Dr. Williaw A. Hammond read a
paper before the Society of Medical Ju?
risprudence and State Medicines in New
York on Thursday evening on "The Su?
periority of Hanging as a Method of
Execution." Mr. I :mmond believes
that hanging is the best method of
execution. He said: "There is a good
deal of popular deception on the subject
of death by strangulation. It is no more
painful than in cases when the neck is
broken. In fact, men who have gone
through the experience, and have been
revived at the last moment, described the
first sensation as rather pleasing. My
son has experimented with himself on
this subject, and corroborates this asser?
tion."
? The Georgia railroad commission
has reduced local first class fares on the
railroads of that State from three to two
and a half cents per mile. The railroads
accept the reduction without dispute, in
the expectation that the loss by reduc?
tions will be more than made up by
increased travel. But a few years ago
local fares in Georgia were from five to
seven cents a mile, and but few people
traveled for pleasure. Now, under the
influence of low rates, the towns and
cities are frequently visited by the
country people on business and pleasure
bent.
? What looked like the largest,
straightest, soundest and longest walnut
log ever floated down the Cumberland
reached Nashville the other day. It
belonged to a green-looking countryman,
who gave good reasons why he must sell
it immediately. It was such a fine log
that, despite the o?. uer's anxiety to sell, it
fetched almost its apparent value. In
due coarse of time it was taken out of
the water, and proved to be a sycamore
log with walnut bark tacked all over it in
the most artistic manner. The green
countryman has not been seen since.

SENATOR STANFORD
And His Wonderful Ranch in California.
Atlanta Constitution.
Mr. Henry B. Shackelford, of Califor?
nia, is making a three weeks' visit to At?
lanta, and is staying at his mother's resi?
dence, No. 27 Pine street.
Mr. Shackelford is a native of Charles?
ton, S. C, but when he was a boy he came
to Georgia, and when scarcely fourteen
years old left Atlanta as a member of
the Atlanta Grays, commanded by Capt.
Thomas Cooper. He went through the
war and when it was ended settled in
Macon. Here he lived till 1868, when
he emigrated to northern California.
After reaching that State he got employ?
ment with the Central Pacific railroad,
which was owned principally by Leland
Stanford & Co. Eight years ago he en?
tered the service of this great millionaire
and has been in his employ ever since.
Mr. Shackelford talks interestingly
about his experiences in California. He
tells some wonderful but true stories of
the mammoth farms, vineyards and ran?
chesowned by his distinguished employ?
er. "Senator Stanford," said he, "owns
the largest ranch in the world. It con?
tains 56,000 acres, through which run
one hundred miles of ditching. Some
8,800 acres are planted in grape vines,
and 4,000 acres are devoted to alfalfa,
which makes the best sort of hay for cat
tie. In this vineyard were raised countless
tons of grapes, which pressed, made one
million gallons of wine. We have a
wine cellar which holds 1,000,700 gallons,
in two thousand gallons packages. The
crushing machine can mash four hundred
tons a day. In one bonded warehouse we
now have about 70,000 gallons of brandy.
This is the product of the vineyard for
this year. The wine is not for sale yet;
is not old enough,"
"What about fruit ?"
"We are not in the fruit businese ex?
tensively, for we have only some 80,000
fruit trees planted. These are mostly
peach and plum."
"Any other ranches ?"
"South of the ranch I have described
lies another one, immediately on the line
of the railroad. This is a comparatively
small one, containing 20,000 acres wholly
planted in wheat. This wheat is of su?
perior quality, and extraordinary crops
are made. This is shipped in bulk."
"What about the stock farm ?"
"This stock ranch is known all over
the world. It is known as Palo Alto, and
is situated thirty miles south' of San Fran?
cisco. Here are to be found horses of
the finest blood; in fact all are blooded.
This collection of horses is worth one
million dollars. Just to thiuk of that 1
Here are some of the must valuable racers
in the world. The fastest two year-old,
three-year-old, and /our-year-old horses
are here. This ranch contains 12,000
acre?. The cattle is, of course, of the
finest strains, nod is worth nearly a quar?
ter, of a million."
"Tell me something about the owner of
these vast estates. What manner of man
is .he ?"
"Leland Stanford, as everybody knows,
is a United States senator from California.
How much money he is worth it is im?
possible to state. He is rated anywhere
from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000. I do
not think this is an extravagant estimate.
He is a man, every' inch o t him. A ben?
efactor, he is always racking his brain to
devise some new plan for helping the
Seople. He has given to the state of
alifornia these ranches I have described,
and his university, which cost several
million dollars. His home is in San
Francisco, but he has residences at each
of his ranches. He is always giving to
charitable institutions, and I can truth?
fully say that he is one of the best men
I every knew. l am his paymaster and
civil engineer. To give you some idea
of the expenses he has to meet in running
his mammoth concerns, I- will state that
he employs about four hundred men. I
paid out in January on his vineyard ranch
$16,000."
"California must be a great coun?
try."
"It is. The climate in some parts of
the state is not unlike that of Georgia.
In Sau "Francisco you find the most
equable climate in the world. In the
northern section of the ?t?te it is pretty
cold, and in the southern p?rt pretty
warm. The immense tracts of land are
very productive, and their owners amass
fortunes in a few years. But do you
know the key of the situation, the one
thing to which may be ascribed the suc?
cess of farming in California."
"No; what is it?" ?
"Irrigation. But; for irrigation many
of the farms which now blossom as the
rose would be dreary, sterite wastes.
Take the San Joaquin valley for example.
Much of this land was unproductive and
given over as worthless; When the mod?
ern system of irrigation was introduced
it was applied to vast tracts of this terri?
tory. What was the result ? Why, the
transformation was phenomenal ? These
barren stretches were at once converted to
fruitful ranches, yielding plenteous crops
of grain and hay. Irrigation is regarded
as a necessity in California. The truth
is, it would not pay to farm but for this
mode of artificial watering. And it has
been reduced to an art. Now, I will tell
you something else about its value. Land
which a few years ago was until led because
it would not pay to cultivate it, now is
planted in alfalfa. This is a sort of grass
which has been found to make the very
best kind of hay. Here we raise five
crops a year. Four tons to the acre is
not infrequently cut, and this sells for
ten dollars a ton. What farming land in
the south yields bo profitable a crop as
this ? The hay is in request by the ranch?
men, who prefer it to other kinds for cat?
tle. It is a great milk-producing feed."
"What's the matter with raising alfalfa
in Georgia ? Would it not pay ?"
. "There is nothing the matter with
raising it in Georgia, and most assuredly
it would pay. But, to do this successful?
ly, we must irrigate the laud upon which
it is planted. This would ensure a crop
regardless of the seasons. Irrigation
makes us independent of the caprices of
nature. If it rains, we are all right. If
a drouth come, we are all right, for we
can supply all .the moisture we need.
Even should we have exceptionally fa?
vorable seasons we can increase the yield
of almost any crop by irrigation. This
is my pet hobby and I know all about
it, for I have a long experience. I can
speak authoritatively as one who has
given it a practical test. I tell yon that
if irrigation-should be tried in Georgia
it would revolutionize the agricultural
methods now in vogue. Several promi?
nent gentlemen of Atlanta, to whom I
have talked on the subject, are interest?
ed and will co operate in an effort to in?
duce the farmers of Georgia to give irri?
gation a trial."
"Did vou meet many southerners,
in California?"
"A great many, especially Alabamiaus.
About fiVteen years ago a colony went
from Alabama to California. Most of
the members of this party have done
well; some of them are rieb. I have
noticed that most of the southerners who
have gone to California are prosper?
ous."

township, made his cotton rows four and

? A prominent Democrat recently
said to a reporter of the Chicago Inter
Oceau that in his opinion the choice of
Vice President by the Democrats was
confined to Indiana and California. He
said that he thought it wise policy to
steer clear of the factional fights in the
party in Indiana and to give the nomina?
tion to the Pacific Coast. He thought
the judicious choice of a Pacific Coast
man would insure California, Nevada and
Oregon to the Democracy.

Wbat is this Disease that is Coming
Upon Us?
Xjfke a thief at night it steals '
& upon us unawares. The pa?
tients have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has a
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is a
feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes a faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is attend?
ed with a greenish-colored ex?
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is A giddiness^ a sort of whirl?
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow?
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de?
positing a sediment after stand?
ing.. There is frequently a
spitting up of the food, some
tunes with a sour taste and
sometimes with a sweetish
taste; this is frequently at?
tended with palpitation of the
heart; the vision becomes im?
paired, with spots before the
ayes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
of these symptoms are in turn
present. . It is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu?
lation has this disease in some
of its varied forms*
It has been found that phy?
sicians have mistaken the cause
of this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
other* for kidney disease, etc.,
etc., but none 01 these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success;. for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. It
is also found that Shaker Ex?
tract of Roots, or Mother Sei
gel's Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
this disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article..
IT WILL SELL BETTER THAN
COTTON.
Mr. John C. Hemptinstall,
of Chulafirmee, Cleburn Co.,
Ala., writes: "My. wife has
been so much benefited by
Shaker Extract of Roots- or
Seigel's Syrup that she says
she would ratner be without
part of her food than without
the medicine. It has done her
more good thanthe-doctprs and
all other medicines put together.
I would ride twenty miles to
get it into the hands of any suf?
ferer if he can get it in no other
way. I believe it will soon sell in
this State better than cotton.
