My oldest boy Chat's named arter de Chattahoochee ribber. What dat vcr say? Soun's lak somebody a-sneezin' a long sneeze. Well, I 'dar' it do. Honsumeber, ifs a pretty name, I think. -Yer chiliens goes ter skule. Ken yer tell me what dat name means ? Yer cain't ? Well, who gib it dat name? Ogle forpc! Eleggsander H. Stephens? Fore gracious 1 Yei/s de ignorunt est chiliens ! Why, de Injuns named it, an' I uster know what it stood fer, but I disrememburs now. Yer ax vcr ma tonight. She's horned down dar. I bet she know. Yer gran'pn jes' had two chiliens-yer, ma an' pore Marse Willum Henry, who wa3 killed at Gettysburg. He was a fine lookin' young man. Dem Hoopers-Georgy Hoopers, I mean -was all poVful fine lookin' folks. Yer Uncle Will was eddycated in Massychusetts. I 'memburs well de fust time he kern home from skule up dar. He orung his "chum," as he call bim, back ter Georgy ter spend de vakations wid him. Marse Tom Curtis was a tall, proper lookin* young man, an' ole marster on' Miss Sally lak him powfful well den. "Why, daf s papa's name. Was it him, Uncle Pete?" Now, if yer all 'rupts me eny more I'll jes' shet my mouf right up. In coase it was yer pa, but he wan't yer pa den. Marse Tom an' M?SB Vleria tuck ter each odder right away, an* he look at Miss ."Valeria lak she good er.uff ter eat. Dey stayed home till about cotton pickin* time, an' den dey hab ter go back ter Massychusetts. 'Fore Marse Tom goes he gib Miss Vleria a ring what he said been in his faxnbly yeera out ob mine; Bay it crosst de ocean on a Mayflower. I thought it was onery lookin', but Miss Vleria nebber tuck dat ring off nc ?nord lill she see Maree Tom, 'cause he put it on wid a wish. Dey went off ter skule agen, an' ole marster he key b mak in' more cotton an' buyin* moro nig gers till he was de richest man eroun' Atlanty. De las'year Marse Will Hooper was at skule ole mar ster 'gun ter look mighty 'sturbed an' ser'us. I think mebbe Marse Will done tuck ter drinkin' or gam uihr, but my gal Phyllis, what waits on de table, Bne say dat ole marster eaid dar was gwine ter be a wah, he was fear'd, an' dat he gwine ter write fer Marse Will ter come home. Den one mawnin' he tell ole miss dat Souf Callina dun pulled loose irum de odder states, an' 'fore long anudder an' den anudder state, an' one day he say ole Georgy show her grit an' pull loose too. Den wo heerd dey had been fight in' at Foat Sumter, an' den de wah 'gun sho' enuff. Marse Will hs come home an' went to Richman ter jrne de sojers. Miss Pieria an' olo miss went ter Bichmun ter see de las' ob bim, an' 'twas de las' sho* enuff. Miss Vleria shtf gib 'em a big flag an' made a speech. I disre memburs now de mos* sho said, but I heerd her say dat man was cowyerd .dat wouldn't dar? ter fight fer sich a lan'. She cry, an' some ob do-so jers cry, too, but Marse Will so proud ho could scarcely see. Dev marched off playin' "Dixie's Lan* '* an' ?De Gal I Def Benin' Me." Marse Will toi' Miss Vleria dat Maree Tom Curtis done fined ?e Linkum men an' dey,wa'n't frien'a no more, an' olo marster say ho neb ber want ter see him agen an* dat Miss Vleria shan't write ter linn, hut she wore dat ring ef ole marster did scotch eroun*. Well, de wah went on, an' do gol' an' silver money got eca'ce, an' we didn't hab na sugar nor caufee no? bakker 'oept Uomemaclo nor Btore close. Evon Miss Vleria she stear homespun dress like de darkies, jjje hardly ebber heerd fruin Mars o Will, an* ole marster Ko git jes* as gray an* stoop shouldered. Ho. say he nebber 'spect ter seo Marse .Will agen. . , fchneby.we heerd Genni Sherman yes jes* a-nuikin' fer Atlanty, bum in bridges an* 'stroyin' raibroadsaU atong. Soma our ^pwes* down: nig gers said dey was gwine ter run away an' jine de anny,when dey, got J? Atlanty. When do Iinkummen jud git dar, dey 'stroyed things.sw It was a mighty purty town iey_marehedm^Jmt it look lak a yeorthquake struck it 'fore dev Ole marster knowed dey was com in' out ter his plant a jion, au* so he 'eluded ter bury all his money an' watches an' juelry whe -e dey couldn't find 'em. So he put all ob de silver spoons an' sich like wid do money an' watches in a tin box an' put dat in' a 'bakker box, an' ono night jes' afore day he slipped down ter do spring an* dug a hole at de root ob a olo chessnut tree dat leant yight ober de spring, an* ho berried it in de hole an* kivered it wid rocks an' throwed water all ober ter hide de fresh dirt. Ole marster didn't even tell ole miss whar ho gwine' ter berry it. Den he went ter de house an' tole Miss Sallie dey was safe fer a livin' ef de niggers was sot free. Pore ole marster thought nobody was runnin' erway ter Atlanty an' didn't see bim dat night; but, chil iens, dar was an' ole Jezebel ob a nigger 'oman down at de spring. She when she beer somebody c?min' hide an' watch an' see ole marster hidin' sumfen, an' when lie go home she goes ter do tree an' digs down an' fin's de box an' think it war 'bakker dat ho hid dar. ' She was in sich a hurry ter get off she jes' kiv ered up de box lak it was an' went on ter Atlanty. Nex* day erbout eleben o'clock we see a big cloud ob dust an' heer horses stampin' an' men hollerin, an' we knowed de Linkuin men was a-comin'. Ole marster an' Miss Sallie look pow'f ul 'sturbed an' uneasy. Here dey come froo de big gate, horses an' all, trampin' ober do purty flower beds an' breakin' up de conkshclls erlong de front walk, an' gets off dere bosses an' comes right in de nice wax hall wid dere muddy boots an' didn't eben take off dere hats ter ole miss. What yer.say, chile? Was yer pa wid 'em? ?o, honey; yer pa's a nice man. Dem men was de shab biest lookin' fellers, not a ossifer 'mungst. 'em-jes' stragglers, ulc marster said, dat follered de ahmy ter steal. Dare waB mighty fine men 'mungst de sojers at Atlanty, an' Miss V'leria was dar when the sojers marched in Atlanty, an' she say dar was lots ob nice men wid 'em. Deso men kilt ole Nero, Miss V'leria's pet dog, 'cause he barked at 'em an' den went froo de house an' tuck all de blankets an' bruck de peanner an' de big speer glass in de parler an' rip de fedder beds an' shake 'em out de winders an' kill do tuckeys an' hawgs an' 'stroyed de com an' drink up do cider an' den tell Maum Phebey ter cook dinner fer 'em. After dey eat dinner one Bojer ast ole marster ef he had enny "store 'bakker." Ho say, no; he not saw enny store 'bakker fer ebber so long. Now, dat ole Jezebel what watched him dat night had follered de sojers out ter de plantation, an' she heerd ole marster say he didn't hab no.'bakker, an' she say: "Yes, he hab got 'bakker. He's got a whole box berried, at de spring." Ole marster turn whito as a sheet when he see her gwine ter de spring an' de sojers wid her.

Tho tirao_of rising in the morn ing has not, in iact, kept 3tep with thc progress of other events. The old custom of early rising and breakfasting by candlelight during the season of short days still pre vails, although tho need has largely passed away. Forty years or so ago farm work began with the break of tlc day, and laboring people wero expected to be in shops and facto ries at 5 o'clock in the morning the year round. Tho agitation for a shorter day first reduced tho hours to ten and later to nino and eight. But it Ii doubtful if the hours given to-felecp have increased as much as the hours of work have ceased. And in particular the t?ne of rising is still where it was when ten and twelve hours of labor wcro demand ed. This is wrong, declares the Phila delphia Press. There is nothing more conducive to health, good mor als and good temper than a nap in the morning. It rounds out tho night's sleep and imparts a satisfac tion which is a considerable factor in the day's work. Thero is nothing like sleep to tone up tho nerves, lt is better than tho best tonic, and with tho nerves in good condition tho wholo man or woman ?3 pre pared to meet tho struggles and competition that modern lifo brings. Sociologists also contend that if people would sleep more there would be less crime. Another argument in favor of longer hours of rest is tlie saving that would be made in light and fuel. Less coal would bo burned and less gas or other illuminants would be consumed. And this is an argument which will appeal at the prefent ii mo to every housekeeper whon the necessity for economy is being e?iiorced so sharply. There are early closing move ments. Why not a late rising move ment? AU methods of work and business have been changed during the last two generations, and they are still changing. A man with the help of modern machinery accom plishes many times more in a short er time than his grandfather did. Why, then, should he get up in the morning at tho same timo his grand father did and find his energies used up before the noon hour ? The nrorning nap will euro this, and the effort to establish it can be helped al^ng with a clear conscience. " ? The Atlantlo Ocean. The area of the Atlantic is about 30,000,000 square miles, less than half the area of the Pacific and be tween one-sixth and one-seventh: of the total surface of the world. It would form a circle 6,180 miles in diameter, which is rather more than double the distance from Liverpool to New ?York. Its depth is much' better known than that of the Pacific and aver ages more than 2,000 fathoms, prob ably about 14,000. feet, or about 2 2-3 miles? .Tho height of Mont Blanc is about threa m?es. .The cubia contents aro therefore nearly 30,00(5,000 cunio . miles, so that the 'Atlant?rj could ?Ho contain ed bodily ia the Pac?fi?KSearly three times. The number t>? cubic ie et is 117 follower! DJ; seventeen ciphers, a number that would ha ticke<ioff by our million! clocks m 370,000 years. Its weight' !a B/&0",000,000, 000,000 tons, andi IKa number of gallons in it is 73,000,000,000,000. A sphere to hold the 'Atlantic would have to be 533%' miles in 'diameter. Moving Mountains. j "We find from actual experience in maintaining tunnels, bridges and tracks in tho mountains that the mountains are moving," said a west ern railroad official, 'nt costs a railway passing through tho moun tains a great deal of money in the course of ten years to keep the tracks in line, and maintenance of tunnels is even more experisive. Drive a stake on tho side of a moun tain, take tho location with the greatest care and return after a few months. TEe stake is not in the Bame location. Tho whole side of the mountain has moved. This ex periment has often been tried, and in all cases the result proves that the mountains are moving. The mountains are gradually seelong the level of the sea."-Baltimore Sun.

OCULAR DEFECTS. Mental and Physical Conditions Bred by Neglect of the Eyes. Even' observant person has rec ognized the recent striking in crease in tho number of people wearing glasses, und, while this fact can be considered *. sign of our ad vancing civilization, "the question may be asked, What will it lead to and is it a necessity? Tho answer must be that while our environ ment, our professions and trades, compels a constantly increasing de mand upon one of tho most delicate and complex organs of our system it is necessary in order to preservo the function of tho eyes m their highest possible state that concert ed action be taken to that end. Neg lect of the eyes and injudicious use of glasses are great contributing fac tors in the general deterioration that is taking pince in those organs. Every oculist has seen case after case of these various conditions promptly relieved by the correction of tho ocular defect. Ho has seen cases where tho child pronounced by the parents and teachers dull and backward becomes tho brightest in his class after wearing glasses that give him normal vision without the clfort that has ?aused a condi tion of brain fag. He has seen many a nervous, weakened, ill nour ished child becomo as robust and healthy as his playmates after the removal of some oyo strain. Tho mechanism of tho eye is per haps tho most delicate system of our entire body. For tho perfect performance of its function every part must work in perfect harmony. To secure this harmony both tho refraction and the muscular balance of the eyes must bo perfect. It is a fact that an absolutely emmctrop ic or normal eye is bnt rarely found. -A. B. Norton in Atlantic. Got Kiss and Money. From St. Petersburg comes a sto ry of how distress led to boldness and boldness to victory. A few days ago a certain prosperous llussian merchant was waiting for a train at a railway station when a young man came up and, telling him ho was in despcrato want, asked for money. The merchant, being more liberal, with humor than with cash, indi cated a pretty girl who had just come into the station on the arm of a general of tho Russian forces and told the needy one that if ho would kiss her he would give him 5 rubles. Whereupon the young fellow knelt before the military man and told him of the merchant's offer. The general made the circumstances known to the girl, and she,.smiling graciously, presented her cheek, which, says the chronicle, the young man, standing on tiptoe, gracefully, saluted. The Russian newspaper which' tells of the little incident boasts proudly that in no country but Russia could it have happened. irish Burial Places. The Irish aro very particular as to where they will bo buried. It goes without saying that they want to be interred in consecrated ground. But they, also wish' to be laid witK their own in tho ancient hallowed spot where their, ancestors for many a generation have been Eut to rest. Each |amily has its urying place, and whenever a mem ber Vlies, unless it be beyond the seas or"?at.somo insuperable 'distance, he is brought to be buried with his ?ires. Hence it is that funeral pro cessions aro oftentimes seen to wend their slow way past many a way side churchyard to some faroff burial ground, because it is there that for many and many a genera tion the forefathers of'tho deceased have laid themselves down for their last long sleep.-Donahoe's Maga zine. Pigeons Do Not Fly, by Sight. The numerous experiments made by balloonists have proved that pigeons are incapable of flying at any great height. Birds thrown out at 6,000 meters fell liko dead, and even at tho moderate.height of 300 meters pigeons.liberated by.tho bal loonist .Gaston Tissandier approach ed the earth in a spiral course. It S evident hence that they are not guided wholly by. sight. To bring a point 300 miles distant wi thin, tho rango of yision it would bo neces sary to ascend nearly 29,000 meters. Tho carrier pigeon, starting on such' a journey, must consequently start with faith in tKo unseen. Wasted Sarcasm. An angler fishing in a Northum berland stream was accosted by a ' gamekeeper. . "Lord Widmouth hes th' :reets o' thia river, sor," ho said civilly. "Mustn't I fish"hero?'' asked the angler. / The keeper replied in the nega tive* "I supposai mustn't even fall, in, may I?" /queried.the fisher, with" a weak attempt at sarcasm. "Weel, sor," returned the game keeper.slowly and meditatively, "Aa dont think anybody/d mind that." --London Tit-Bits. C&N YOU BEAT THIS? ? ,y' _-?
