last three years the cotton manufac-
turers Of the South have increased
over 60 per cent. in the capital in

new cotton factories were chartered
by the South Carolina legislature last
war with an aggregate capital OF two
million dollars, and the number Of

Two White Derbys Out Of Place.

A m~iddle-aged man of fine appearance
wal a passenger on the ferry boat which
left Liberty street ferry for Communi-
paw at 4:l5 on Friday afternoon. A con,
spicuous part of his outfit was a white
Derby hat. Just as the boat wa going
out oil the slip another distinguished
looking man entered the ladies' cabin,
reading a paper, and sat down beside
the wearer of the white Derby. The
ne w-comer's hat was like the other mans
IN height, shape and color. Looking off
his paper, he discovered the likeness be-
tween the two, just as the fact dawned
upon the other man. One glanced stealth
lily at the others hat, and as soon as he
dropped his eyes the other looked up
ward out Of the corner of his eye and
inspected his neighbours Derby. They
took several more side glances in turn.
Then n of them spoke.

morning?"

there. Yours looks like it," .
And that little stain on the side of
your Derby helps me to identify the hat
as mine"
"lt doesn't fit me. Try it on your
head" .t
The men exchanged hats, and an ex-
animation convinced them that each had

afforded the people in the cabin much
merriment, and the wearers ofthe white

though 1t had seen ten years service.
1t was loaded, evidently, with plug to-
bacco, and was hard to keep aiight as
was shown by the lip smacking and con-
slant putting of the smoker. AS |
passed him the old gentleman stopped
me and whispered: Can't you get that
freshman to stop smoking his horrible
old pipe? ! told him the smoking-ca.
was for smokers and that there were no
regulations as to style of pipes used.
Then he whispered: Won't you hand

him. l took the cigar-evidently a
prime Cuban-and handed it to the

man opposite presented it to him. His
honor is a gentleman said Pat, putting
away at his dhudeen, to keep it al;ght,

putting his pipe. Finally the old gen

Wood Finish. q

The patented preparations known ms
wood filters are prepared in different
colors for the purpose Of preparing the
surface of wood previous to vanishing.
They ELL up the pores of the wood, rem
dering the surface hard and smooth.
For polishing. mahogany, walnut, etc,
the following is recommended: Dissolve
oeeswaS by. heating spirits Of ~turpeptine
until the mixtures becomes viscid; then
apply by a c!ean,cloth, and marlborough
~ With a fanneI.or cloth. A ommon
mode OF polishing mahogany is by rub
,lbing it first with linseed oil. and then
holding trimmings or shavings OF the
same material against the work in the
lathe. Glass paper followed by rubbing
also gives d good lustre. There are vari-
Gus means of toning or d%arkening woods
for decorative effect. LogwooG, lime,
brown soft soap, dyed oil, sulphate of
iron, nitrate of silver exposed to the
sun s rays, carbonate of soda, bichro-
mate and pernianganate of potash, and
other alkaline preparations are used for
darkening the wood; the last three are
specially recommended. The! solution is
applied by dissol2ing enc ounce Of the
alkali in two gills ofboiling water diluted
to the required tone. The surface is satu-
rated with a sponge OF flannel and i'm.
