't lamb.“ 0: Hunting Club. on Whom mg ll..- Wm Imposed. Among the sports of olden timefi the hunting clubs were prominent every- where. any: the Atlanta Constitution. In Camden county one of the mosz fa- mous of clubhouses in this country was built at Bear Hammock and kept under the supervision of Gen. John Floyd. It. was there that the Camden County Hunting club organized' In 1882, held its meetings. made its rules and imposed its fines. The charter members of the club were Charles R. Floyd, Richard Floyd, Henry Floyd John Floyd. Ben Hopkins, .1537 Dllwort-h. James Holzendorf. John IIolzendort. Alexander Holzendorf. P. M. Nightingale, William Barrie and Henry du Bignon. Several members joined afterward. The club dress was a scarlet jacket and black panmloons and a fine of 500 copper caps was im- posed on Alexnder Holzendorf at one meeting for not having on the regula- tion dress. No member was to be nb~ sent from the meetings unless by good excuse, and James Holzendorf was fined 1,000 copper caps for one absence. After the day’s hunt, sometimes with the luck of 1f; deer, an elegant dinner was served before dispersing. The 16th rule read: “Game is con- sidered by the club to be deer, béar. hogs.oows.bulls Wildcats and turkeys." Wild cattle and hogs. abounded in 'he woods in those days, the latter living to an old age, which was told by the tusks. sometimes eight. to ten inches long.

Up to three years ago there were at least a dozen places on the South side where a gaudy display of watches, diamonds and revolvers in the windows called attention .to a scarce- ly less loud auctioneer within.

He watched the stream of passers-by on the street and “backed the play" of the cappera. He sold all manner of watchés, and he al- ways “got the bestol it."

Every business nun knows what. this means, the hur- ried bite taken in the short hour about noon every day, when business is aban- doned long enough to permit the deâ€" struction of a piece of pie or a sandwich. Everybody does it, so it is as fair for one as the; other, says the Chicago Chronicle. . This same haste applies to the mag which pulls the cab or the heavy draft horses used as freighter-s. At the noon hour on a“ny of the downtown streets the observant person can see these faithful beasts with nosebags depend- ing from their heads quietly munch- ing their oats or corn with every evi- 1enc¢ of satisfaction. It. makes no difference to the horses that the passing throng sees them in the act of taking food.

Dull, Journey of the Sun Puzzled thc Ancientsâ€"Many Enonoou Theories. ' Strange as it may seem in this day and age, the rising and setting of the sun was the greatest of natural phe~ nomena to the ancient scholars. They were greatly puzzled to know how the same sun which plunged into the ocean at a fabulous distance in the west could reappear the next morning at an equal- ly great distance in the vast. And, as Sir Robert Ball points out, a number of remarkable theories were advanced. and every one of them wrong. “The old mythology asserted that after the. sun had dipped in the western ocean at sunset (stile lberians and other anâ€" cient nations actually imagined that they could hear the hissing of the waters when the giowing globe was plunged therein) he was seized by Vul- can and placed in a golden goblet. This strange craft with its astonishing car- go navigated the ocean by a northerly course, so as to reach the east again in time for sunrise the following morn- ing. Among the more sober physicists of old. as we are told by Aristotle, it was believed that in scime manner the sun was conveyed by night across the northern regions, and that darkness was due to lofty mountains, which screened of! the snnbeams during the» voyage." Another theory was that the sun actually pursued his course below the solid earth during the darkness of night, and philosophers taught the samefaabout. the‘ stars that rose and set. These are Ibut samples of many a theory that might be named with regard to the phenomenon of sunrise and sunset.
