The powers of the earth would attend her

would havel And what tumult of deep
curses, maledictions and execrations would

FATAL EXPERIMENT BY BoY.-A
Snowman, exhibited in Cleveland last sum
mer, who pretended to swallow pebble
stones for his diet, and who did apparent
ly dispose of some three or four consider
able sized ones al public meal. The de-
ception to the locker on was complete, and

stones, eight leaden bullets, and a metal
button. After this confession, the grand
father got up and informed the boys faith
er of what had been done. who, being
somcwhlt Of doctor, told his son, with
tears in his eyes, that the best he could do
was to prepare for death, for if he had
done what be said, no earthly power could
save him. 1t is not known how large the
so1es were that he swallowed, but one
found in his jacket was as large as a wal
nut. The reason the boy gave for swal-
lowing the stones was, because he wanted
to do what u humhug Snowman pretended

that the man lived on stones, as he pre-
tended, and, as he said, thought he could
do the same"

England pays annually about $170,-
100000 for cotton-all imported. After
retaining sufficient for her own wants, the
balance is reshipped to different parts of
the world, in the shape of manufactured

about 1920, 100000. This explains, why
England, just noy, does not particularly
sympathize with the North.
