Cost of Retailing.

Between the original producer and
the consumer there is a great gulf
fixed, which, while neither of them can
possibly pass it, swallows up vast
amount of the substance of each OF
them. Thus we find the cost of pro-
ducing the refined products of petro-
leum, together with freights and all
other expenses, amounts to forty
millions, and the cost to consumers is
seventy millions; the vast difference of
thirty millions being swallowed up in
this gulf, occupied by those who go OF
come between the "parties of the first
and last parts.n

Textile Skill of a Georgia Woman.
From the Augusta [Ga.) Chronicle.

One of Edgefeld's skillful daughters,
Mrs. E. H Chamberlain, of the Dark
Corner section, recently sent to the
Advertiser men (only for inspection, of
course) balmoral skirt, woven by her
self, or under her eye, which is described
as a marvel of skill and beauty. The
body of the skirt is woven of rabbit
hair (not dyed) producing pretty drab
and is wonderfully thick, soft and
fine; while the bordering, broad and OF
the most brilliant colors, is entirely OF
wool. The bordering is woven double
the rabbit hair part single. And the
manner in which the double and single
weaving are made to meet would excite
the admiration of a Lyons velvet.

Love Land.

There's a far-off mystic country
Summed by Hopes eternal CLEAN.
In whose fair and pleasant valleys
have wandered in a dream.
Where the brooklets run to music
'Twixt their emerald banks along.
Where the forests wave in anthems,
Swayed by breeZes winged with song.
There the whole great heart of nature
rhrobs with melody for aye.
And the flowers that bud and blossom.
Never wither. fade and die.
But for me the cline is distant.
Distant far as mornings beam,
Though in its fair and pleasant valleys
have fingered in a dream.
And O pure and radiant being
Leads me gently by the hand.
When through slumber's ducky portals
Joyfully I seek that land
And beside me in her beauty.
Lingers like the shimmering beam
OF some star that shines in heaven.
Till waken from my dream.
That mysterious, far-of country
Is the glorious land of Love.
Where love is love forever,
And all other things above
And my heart yearns toward that being
As I breast Iife's rapid stream,
Ever distant from me, waking,
Ever near me in my dream.

The SACREDNESS or MARRIAGE
For the man and woman who purely

not state Of bondage. Indeed, it
is only when they become BY this

Thereafter they can be openly de.

avowedly chosen and intimate

of Progress that ends not with life's
eyentide, Together they can seek
the charmed avenue of culture, and,

Home, with all that is dearest in the
