many ladies are reluctant to do. An

Apart from the agricultural products
of tile Southern States it should also be
noted that their mineral products are
superior to any of the States, except
those within the Pacific region. Take
for example the State OF Georgia. In
the year 1878 the gold mines of North
Georgia yielded only $1,000 0 This
year they have yielded $1,OOO,O O0, or
ten times the amount mined in 1878 !;

One of the largest fleets of sailing
vessels ever known is now Oh the way
to New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more, and from the valuable tables of
the New York Maritime Register we
extract the following statistics, which
show two things; first, the enormous
carrying trade of this country, and,
second, how little American vessels
participate in it,: September II, 1893
ships bound to New York, of which 40
were American; September II, $50
barks bound to New York, of which Sc
were American; September II, IS ships
bound to Philadelphia, of which 8 were
American September II, $50 barks
bound to Philadelphia, of which 2 were
American September II. 10 ships bound
to Baltimore, of which / was American ;
September II, 175 barks bound to Balti-
more, of which II were American.
There is a total Of 900 vessels bound to
these three ports, and about one-teuth
of them American. The Shipping List
Of October II will record the arrival of
Dine-tenths of these vessels, as about
that number is only bound across the
Atlantic, and probably a fresh list Of at
least 800 vessels bound to these ports.
1t will be seer from these figures that
there are ships and barks on the ocean

HINT TO UNGRACEFUL WALKERS
An English lady, an acquaintance OF NJ.
Ingres, the well-known French painter,
had a most awkward gait. The gentle
man recommended her daily to take a
long walk, balancing meanwhile on her
head a pitcher of water. This, he said,
would give the true poise to the figure
and necessitate the upright carriage of
the head and a smooth, firm step. An
eminent French actor, who prepares
young girls for the stage, has taken M.
Ingres's hint, and his pupils every day
at u certain time have to walk about
with vessels of,water ON their heads
