Southern Cation Mills.

According TO the Commercial and III
naaciaz Chronicles figures, the amount Of
cotton used IN Southern mills during the
year ending September 1 was three hum
dred and thirty-one thousand bales. This
shows that the consumption of cotton in
the South hos considerably more than
doubled within the past four years, and
that it ii more than ninety thousand bales
larger this year than it was last. The
figures furthermore show that in recent
years the consumption has increased at a
far greater rate In Southern than IN
Northern mills.
These facts are proof that the South IS
making rapid strides iii the manufacture
Of It's great staple. The prosperity al
ready attained has given d lively impetus
to- the construction of new mills IN vari-
GUS quarters and the enlargement of the
capacity of the old ones. Iii doing this
the Southern States are simply develop
ing an industry for which they have PEI
cuIiar natural advantages. They have it
in their power to make the South a great
cotton manufacturing center, and Il IS a
master for national congratulation that
they are moving with encouraging prog
ress ii that direction.-NeD York HeraM.

Novel Remedy for Consumption.

A musician writes to the Chicago
Times. Women are daily acquiring bust
ness qualifications long considered beyond
their reach, and I do not doubt that their
scope will soon include playing in bands.
Al day or two ago / read an account of
some experiments with brass instruments
in Germany. Some doctor there, the
name of whom / forget, said blowing
horns would cure consumption if prac-
ticed before the disease had taken firm
hold. They got some ladies to try the
plan, and nearly half the number recov-
cred. | attribute the good health Of my
wife to the same practice. When / mar
ried her she was very delicate, but now
she tips the beam at 1877, the gain being
the result of her efforts with d cornet.
She has been playing for thirteen years,
but can't make good music, simply be-
u she has no musical talent. 1t is
amusing to see a woman learning. How
she draws long breaths and puffs out her
cheeks, and blows and blows as if she
were a bellows in a blacksmith shop and
the fate of the world depended on her
getting the fire glowing. They'll take a
cornet, for instanee-an instrument diff
cult to handle properly-and exhaust all
their breath at a squirt, then gradually
rise to the tips of their toes while eIevat-
ing the cornet above their heads, looking
for all the world as if they were trying to
force wind from their shoe-tops.

the Festive Crocodile.

With its short legs out of sight in the
ooze, its murderous snout sunk to the
upper jaw, a tangle of river drift caught
upon its shoulders, and the tail perhaps
lying In a poolof water, the bulky reptile
looks SO harmless that birds sit tWitter-
ing upon its armor, and hunt among the
crevices of the fungoid-groWn and Shiny
scales for insects. Its very size dlsarms
suspicion; the outlines become indistinct,
the complete monster indistinguishable.
And a croeodiIe's patience for mischief is
prodigious. Hour after hour, and allday
long, the abominable fraud lies In its
place without a signoflfe. Natives going
to their work In the morning look down
from the bank and see the birds fitting
about the dark object at the water line in
pursuit of the sWarming mud-iies that
are attracted to the brute by their keen
sense of smell; but, familiar as they are
with the wiles of mugggur and gharal
Gas they call the blunt and the sharp
nosed crocodiles respectively, they are
deceived to the last, and go on their way
to the field or shop thinking it was only
driftWood that they have seen. # it had
been q dead body, bullock or tattoo,

The Crater OF Mount Tacoma.

Mount Rainier, otherwise known as MT.
Tacoma, in Washington Territory, has
been assembled but tWice-the first time,
six years ago, by Hazard Stevens anG j.
H. Van Trump, and the second time,
only last week, by Messrs. Langgmire,
Van Trump, Bailey and Ewing. They
caIaped over night in the crater, amid
f1eeey clouds ef1smoke and steam. The
rocks iii the crater were so hot that they
could not be touched without burning
their hands. OF all the peaks in the
northwest, Mount Tacoma is considered
the most difficult Of ascent. a Wash
ington Territory correspondent, in
recent letter I'd the San Francisco
Chronicle, speaking on this point, says !:
Two persons claim to have scaled the
mountain to the very summit. Notwith-
standing their assertions, the story is
very generally discredited. It isthought
no human foot has ever pressed those
lofty regions of everlasting arctic rigor.
The ascent is considered beyond the
power of human achievement. Indians
who have lived d great many years near
the peak, and who ought to be personally
conversant with the difficulties and perils
Of the ascent, affirm that it IS impossible
for any one To reach the top. The
distance is SO long, the obstacles 80 great,
and the cold is 10 intense, that no
person, however Injured to toll, hardship
and exposure, could accomplish the trip
and return In one day.-Tjrginiu City
(Nee. Enterprise.

iii Healfh Due to IGNORANCE.

The first wealth is health, wrote
Emerson and III this terse little sentence
ID concentrated the ethics and economy
81 sanitary science. Some years ago Gail
Hamilton vigorously declared that q wo-
man of twenty should be as much
ashamed Of being dyspeptic as Of being
drunk, md not less radical was the adj
dress of Dir. Hunt, of New jersey, at
the Social Science congress whorelegated
physical disease I'd q similar place that
would be assigned to defective morals.
1t Is undoubtedly true that large per-
centage Of iii health Is due to lack Of in-
EaLligence II not to d lack Of morality.
It IS also true tlsat q large proportion Of
people do notsven know shat health is,
In lis rae sense. Good health is d posi-
tive condition, not merely the negative
one 0 lSBfng free xrem actual pain Or dis
ease. Good health q tue inevitable re-
suit Of srue conditions, end as it IS the
first wealth and the first requisite of sue
cess i every undertaking, these conaiS
lions deserve careful study and consider

The Mosquito at Close Quarters.

The forest and Stream says: Viewed
through the microscope the mosquito
presents q picture of mechanical in
genuity as marvellous in execution as it
d devilish In design. tn the bill alone,
which seems SO fragile to the unaided
sight, there ii d combination OF FIVE dis
tinet surgical instruments These are d
lance, two meat saws and q suction
pump. The fifth instrument / have for
gotten, but labor under the impression
that it IS d portableCo engine to run
the rest Of the factory with. ! know
that the hum Of the mosquitoes in the
cottonwood tIickets along the lower
Mississippi reminded me constantly Of
the hum OF d manufacturing village, and
/ have walked back several times
looking for d town before / could con
vince myself that the buzzing | heard
was made by mosquitoes with their en-
gines running to sharpen their saws.
When the insects operate on q man, the
lance Is first pushed into the flesh, then
the two saws, placed back 70 back, begin
To work up and down to enlarge the
hole. Then che pump is inserted, and
the victims blood is syphoned up into the
reservoir carried behind, and finally, to-
complete the cruelty Of the performance,
the wretch drops o quantity of poison
into the wound to keep It irritated.

The Great DalrymDEe Farm.

The great Dalrymple farm is q few
miles west OF Fargo, Dakota, writes q
correspondent. 1T was the intention to
make d stop at this farm and exhibit the
200 reapers lii operation, but Mi. Dali
rymple said to-day that the wheat was
80 ripe that he had To cut it last week.
Hence the operation of harvesting could
not be- exhibited. 81 am now thrashing
the wheat at the rate of 1000 bushels d
day. said MIR. Dalrymple. We send
to Duluth seventy-five carloads each day.
And from there we ship by water to
Buffalo. The wheat is sold at Buffalo.
1T III all No. 1 hard, and we get for it
fifteen cents q bushel more than is OBJ
tanned for wheat grown In Minnesota.
Ours is all spring wheat, and is mixed
with softer grades and ground into flour
in Buffalo
How many acres have you under cul-
tivation ~
aAbout 80, 1000. There are 75, 900
acres in THE farm, and we are putting
FIVE thousand more acres under eMltiva-
ton each year. When I came here eight
years AGO we bought the land with
Northern Pacific stock and paid forty
cents ali acre for 1T. 1T is worth now On
ain average of $$25 an acre. Eight years
i you could 90 four hundred miles il
either direction on this prairie without
seeing q house. Now you can travel The
same distance without getting out o.
sight of d house. The available land Is
now all taken up, but il can be pur-

Domestic Economy.

There is much more room for choice
In the administration of even q small in
come than one is apt to believe at first
thought. It is not the lu~xuriousness of
wealth that is enyiable, but the broader
and more various outlets and inlets which
it offers for life. Every income may be
studied with reference to these possibili-
ties, and the result will often be sulpTis-
ing. An hours serious consideration of
so serious q subject as the uses Of money,
with last years expense book beside her,
and pencil and note bookin hand, would,
perhaps, suggest to almost every house
mother some portion of her economy IN
which she might wisely turn over a new
leaf. IF she has not o well-kept account
book to refer to that is the first leaf to
turn. Comfort and elegance in dress,
table service, furniture, equipages-all
the surroundings of our lives-these are
good and desirable when they do not
involve the sacrifice of anything more inn
portant; but is well to remember that
they are not to be the chief objects OF
life, nor the ends for the attainment of
which homes are ordained. IF we do
not desire for our children better things
than these, If we do not assume for them
higher responsibilities, we are promoting
that dangerous tendency toward an ex
aggerated respect for wealth, and a cor
responding depreciation of character,
which is the growing peril of our nation
and our time. As American mothers, let
us, while considering the division of time
and fhe an-nortionmepE, of income. NOT
