insiders it oeriously, not even at theîginning of a now century.Tbe truth is that this first week ofir new century wopM seem the be?iuniog of the milleniuni is aii the>od resolves had been kept, butany of them will be broken beforeiis is read.hell is full of good.solves made upon occasions extra-dinary.What we want is a solid settlementpon healthful lines as the outcome of^liberate thought and the beetromptings of judgment. Let alllings go upon whioh there is an

greement as to its wickedness.theispeotable evils are the evils thatiould be dealt with, and thinkingeople should set themselves to workelibe/ately to h^nètliau dut and ap-lytho remedy.Is it the loss of the sense of a de«endence in God ?Is it because our churches havecen turned into a maohine for theusing of revonue ?Is it because the "slick" preaeheras crowded the good preacher out oflie business and made the sacred of-o a joke among the common peo-le?What is the matter? That is theucstion, and that is the thing for theolid thinking people to set to work,tond. Drunkards nor thieves nor mur-

crers oould not havo leveled us tohere we aro. It took a concealedickedness to get us there. It willake a strong effort by strong andODBcientious people to got us out.Psyoologists among the workingeople of the oiticB will tell youhat the signs are bright.that it ishe passing of dignity from theologynd a victory over the tyranny ofhurch.Tho men who havo profited by themultiplying of adjuncts will tell youhat things aro all right.Thousands will tell you that ourew century has opened with brighterrospects than any before us, butbese aro either lacking in judgmentr they are hypocritical.It is not for me to say what is the

latter, but I can conscientiously sayhat there are great wrongs, and that Inow things are not as good as theysed to be.Anew century is no great thingnyway.only a matter of time. Withrod a new day or a new. week or a newloath is just as great. Many nowiving can remember baok half a con-

nry, and it does not seem-long, eith-r. Bless you, it was only a shortime before the war.that' was notsngago. Take the year 1850, thatraa not a great while baok to oldjfoiks,at wonderful are the changes. Slav-ry was an evil then, bat even slavesill tell you that conditions v ere bet-ör then than now. All white peoplenow that the forties and fifties wereotter years than oan ever be hopedor in the nineteens or twenties,'here are plenty of people living toall you of those years without my un-

dertaking such a task, but I can't re-ist telling the young people of how ainters night would havi found theverige home of Georgia any time inbe forties or fifties.Was there no sociability then ?In my heart, I believe there was the

Aloud crack.almost as loadai » pistol.was the way the old reelhad of tolling it had turned a hundredtimosr then there was a taking off ofthe hank and a Jolly time with Ulkuntil the work began again. None ofthis work kept the family from beingsociable. A song went on or a storywas told.they read now!They would tell us now, in this new

oéutury year, that all this was weak.These pretty girls who spun and woveand knit were not up to snuff. Thatia what the times teach, but I can tellyon that this world has never produceda happier or a batter womanhood thanthey. All this could be dons yet.The building of railroads nor thestrides of progress should not keeppeople.girls.-from finding somethingat home to do, and if you would justdeoids this way it would he .the hap-piest tbiug that could happen in thiscentury.A groat many look upon the new

century as the neariog of the fulfill-ment of time.tho millennium.thesecond coming of Christ. Brown be-lieves that Ghrist is needed to oleanout the money changers in thechurohes.

I think there is too muoh stress putupon thé effort of the churches to getmoney. This may be an evil, brt itis not tbe worst. I honestly believethat the churohes need a purifyingfrom > their moral corruption muohmore than from their financial greed.One hypocritical villian can mar thebeauties of one sweet character that isbeyond tho price of all the money ofall the churches. These are the onesfor the world to turn attention to inthis new century.these hypocrites.drunkards and thieves and murdererscan be managed, and they will be.The slick, sliding, meddling hypo-crites ie the dangerous individual, andone that the eommon people oannotget at from behind his cloak. |

I think that all conscientious advicefor good is in order, or, at least, ex-

cusable, at this beginning of the yearand century. If I were asked to con-dense my part of this advice I shouldput it still.

Return to a dependence on theLord and male members of churches.Down the hypocrite.Cut off the adjunots.Hang drunkards.of course.

Roll a Pumpkin.The Rev. John Haynes was famous

for his pithy Bayings. At one time,says one of our exchanges, he over-heard his daughter and some youngfriends oritioising oertain neighborsmore, severely-than was pleasing tohim, whereupon ne proceeded to readthem a lecture on the sinfnlnoss ofeoandal."But, father," remonstrated his

daughter, "we must say something.1'"If you can do nothing better," re-

torted Haynes dryly, "get a

pumpkin and roii it about. That will.at least be an innooent diversion."Not long afterward a conference of

ministers met at his house. Duringthe evening an earnest disousaion oncertain points of doctrine arose, and,from the lofty pitch of some of thevoioes, it seemed as if part of the dis-putants at least were in danger of los-ing their temper.At that juncture Mr. Haynes*

daughter quietly entered the room,bearing ajbuge pumpkin. She put itdown in front of .her father and said:"There, father, roll it about. Roll itabout."

Mr. Haynes was called upon for anexplanation, and good humor was re-stored.

Economy in Small Things.

Believing strongly in the efficacyof the old adages, economy in wealthand drops of water make ihe mightyocean, the man in chargo of the sup-ply department of the Chicago &Northwestern railroad has set to work\© aeausäy tc tbe easting com-

pany between $20,000 and «»,000which ha fce1ie*«s!" the sasf.to hassuselessly spent. EUserueade againstinjudicious expenditures and extrava-gant «sages recently has been launch-ed, and his plan if reform has broughtinto play * car which the employes oftee read informally have christenedthe "Economy Special." This ear isin charge of an inspector whose dutyit is to look after the supplies of alldepartments on the Galena and Wis-consin divisions.A short time ago the purohasing

agent of the road, Charles Hayward,assumed charge of the supply depart-ment, replacing Edward Osgood, whohad been the 'supply man for about 10years'. Immediately upon the assum-

ing charge Mr. Hayward began to workout his plan of reform. He appointedan inspector.. and, after consultingwith the superintendents of the Gale-na and Wisconsin divisions, W. E.Moorse and T. 'A. Lawton, respective-ly , he decided to introduce the serviceof tue ''Economy Special." Thea hesent circulars to all agents on the twodivisions urging greater economy.The inopec tor started out with a lot ofpencil holders, whioh he distributedas a means for getting the good out ofpencil stttbs too short to wield effec-tively.

It is estimated that every year $500worth of pencil stubs are thrown awayby the employes who have oooasion towrite and figure. Too many penpoints, too, the supply man gave out,were discarded before their usefnlnesshad fully passed. He told tho em-ployes that instead of throwing awaypen points when they became weakthey wonld be expected to revitalisethem by heating them with lightedmatches. He ordered shopmen, ma-ohinemen and engine cleaners to re-turn their used waste to general head-quarters ir?8tead of throwing it away.The old waBte now is oleaned by a

process and returned for further use.The inspector now issues limitedamounts of waste, enough to meet therequirements, but not enough to war-rant a reckless and extravagant appli-cation of it.The reform has opened anothor busi-

ness to the VanderbiltB and otherowners of the road. It provides forthe return of all inkstained impressioncloths used in offices. These cloths,a very great number of which are us«>dannually, are collected by the ohief ofthe "Economy Special," carried backto this oity, sacked and sold for oldrags. Furthermore, to make the sur-

plus showings more gratifying to thestockholders the supply sgect has or-dered that every lampwiok be used un-til there is not enough of it left to con-nect with tho oil in the bowl. Tinypins have been provided to the lamp-users to kecw the short pieces ofwiok in position for continued ser-vice.Trainmen have been ordered to prao-

tioe more marked eoO"jmy. Theyhave been given to understand thatlinks, pins, lantern globes, lard oil,flags, torohes, torpedoes and otherthings in oomuion use are valuable,and that they would bo expected tobeas oareful with them as they couldbe.The inspector takes the "Economy

Special" out every 60 days, visiting allplaces on the two divisions. At eachoffice ho cheoks up the supplies on

hand, notes «ïu«t iâ needed and gath-ers in the old waste, bent pins, twist-ed links and ether things that havelost their worth in the service. Theold pins and links, if too badly outof shape, are sold for old iron. Chi-cago Record.

Jefferson Davis Arrested in Atlanta.

"Did you know that JeffersonDavis was once under arrest in At-lant» on a charge of robbery?" saidGovernor Caudler, while in a reminis-cent mood the other afternoon."There are probably lets than a doz-

en living^ narfoi! io-diy who knew oftin» fMl,' ''he oontinuod."Ï btlieve it*ssis las yes?

whan Mr. Davis was a number of theUnited States senate, that he passedthrough Atlanta as route to his homein Mississippi from Washington."He eatae in over the Georgia rail-

road from Augusta. At ho steppedfrom his train ic front of Atlanta'sfirst depot, he was seised by twoburlypolicemen, who informed him that hewas under arrest."The officer exohanged amUes of

satisfaction over the easy capture of jtheir game, as they pulled the prison-er to one side and fastened handouffsupon him." 'My friends1 said Mr. D«vi*; 'you

must have made a mistake, whatoharge have you against me?'" 'The oharge is all right,' hissod

the proud offioers of Atlanta's polioedepartment. 'You are the man wo

want, and not half so sliok as you thinkyou are.'"I am sure there is a mistake some-

where/ ' costiiiusd Mr. Davis, not try-ing to reveal his identity to them." 'Would you mind carrying me be-

fore Dr. Calhoun for identification, orsome other of your prominent citizensthat I may name?'"One of the offioers was in favor of

giving their prisoner the privelege ofidentifying himselfbefore Dr. Calhoun,who was the father of Atlanta's pres-ent esteemed citizen, Judge Lot*ndesOalhoun. The other officer persistedin looking him up at once, believingthat he only wanted an opportunity toescape.

"It was finally agreed to, and secur-

ing a good hold to each arm of theirprisoner, they started for tho home ofDr. Calhoun." 'Why, howdy do, Senator Davis,"

cried out Dr. Calhoun, as ho openedhis door. 'I am so glad to seo you.Whon did you leave Washington, andhow have you been getting along?'" 'Well,' said Mr. Davis, 'I thought

I was doing very well until I landedin Atlanta a few moments ago, andwas arrested for a robber. I broughtthese officers around here to you thatthe matter might bo straightened out.'" 'My kiugdom, men!' oriedout Dr.

Calhoun. 'Did you not know that youhad arrested Senator Jefferson Davis?I am ashamed of you both. Releasethis man and leave here and be more

particular in the future.'"I think at the time Dr. Calhoun

was mayor of Atlanta," said GovernorCandler. "The arrest of Sonator Da-vis happened in this way," continuedtho governor. "Tho police in Atlantahad been notified by the polioeof Augusta to look out for a man, giv-ing a description that correspondedsomewhat to the appearance of Mr.Davis, who wore a glass eyo just asthe description outlined."The man was wanted on a oharge

of robbing a passengor on the trainbetween Columbia, S. C, and Augus-ta, and was believed to have boardedthe train in Augusta for Atlanta."So Senator Davis was unfortunate-

ly.as the offioers claimed.an exactprototype of the outlaw they wereafter."The policemon were greatly morti-

fied over their mistake and especiallythe manner in whioh they handledtheir prisoner."This se* was probably the greatest

humiliation that ever befell a memberof Atlanta's police department.".Eugene Whiteheadin Atlanta Ncics.

Satt la Place of Blood.

Chicago, January 5th..Ab a resultof a protracted sei tes of experimentswith salt solutions, the effioaoy ofwhich in prolonging life was reoentlyannonnoed by l*rof Loeb, of the Uni-versity of Chicago, two prominentphysicians here claim to have demon-strated that to cases of grgat loss ofMood by disease or iujury normal saltsolution used as a restorative willSave life even when 90 por cent of theblook hat been lost. The expérimente,which have been extended over a

period of six months, have, aocordingto the physicians, made practicable anew system of bleeding and substitu-tion of salt solution for persons suffer-ing from pneumonia, typhoid fever,peritonitis, soute and ohrooio Bright*adise-se and «il heart aueotiona result-ing from the last named complaint.Much suooess h&s followed, the phy-sicians say, all their experiments, par-ticularly those made with pneumoniaand Bright's disease.

In the experiments the physiciansused moro than one hundied dogs andfound it possitlo to withdraw 70 per-cent of tho circulation from un animalbefore it was necessary to inject astimulant. The final test was madeos a dog from which 90 percent of theblood had been withdrawn. A needle,connected with a salt wator apparatuscontaining a2 per oeot solution, wasinserted in the jugular vein and asecond needle inserted in the junctionof the Urge veins lying olose to theheart. After the blood had beondrawn off the salt solution was forcedin around the heart and into the ves-sels of the brain. The dog was ableto stand inside of an hour and on thefolfowidg day was ablo to walk.A human patient, suffering with

pneumonia, who was operated upon,reoovered In muoh shorter time than itwas customary with those, sufferingwith chat trouble.

In oases of mal&ria the injeotionof the salt solution was mads directlyinto the spleen and in six weeks allsymptoms of diseaeo had disappeared.No claim was made that a cure hadbeen effected in cases of Bright's dis-ease, tho physicians merely assertingthat they had removed several of thomost troublesome features of the com-
