Southcrn Woodlands.

The wooded lands of Mississippi
comprise 100000 acres.
1t is computed hat the forests of
Texas would supply the whole
country with timber for one hundred
years.
North Carolina has an acreage of
growing timber amounting to about
rs per cent. of her territory.
The yellow pine forests of Florida
extend over three-fifths of the six
countless of Putnam, Marion, Sumter,
Polk, fernando and Hillsboro.
L~ouisiana's timber lands cover
100000 acres. 1t is said that the
lumber business of Maine and Mich
igan will ultimately be transferred
to Florida and Louisiana.
A great pine belt stretches across
southern Georgia and Alabama to
the rivers that flow into the Mobile
bay. The pine forests of Georgia
alone cover an area of about $780,
600 acres.
There are immense tracts of cot
tonwood along the Mississippi and
its tributaries. The cottonwood tree
reaches the height of seventy feet,
and planks from four tosix feet wide
are easily cut from it. 1t is perfectly
free FROM knots and pitch.

The Deepest Coal Mine.

The deepest coal mine in Amer.
lea is the Pettsville in Pennsylva.
MIA. The shaft is 1876 feet deep.
From its bottom, almost a third Of
mile down, two hundred cars, hold.
ing four tons each, are lifted eyery
day. They are run upon a platform.
and the whole weight of six tons il
hoisted at a speed that makes the
head swim, the time occupied in
lifting a full car being only a little
more than a minute. The hosting
and lowering of men into coal mines
is regulated by law in this State,
and only ten ear stand On a plat
form at once under penalty Of
heavy fine. However, carelessnea
cannot be prevented, and unaccus.
toned visitors are appalled, by it. 4
correspondent says:
"A person with weak nerves should
not brave the ordeal by descending
the Pottsville shaft. The maehia.
cry works as smoothly as a hotel e.
evator, but the speed is SO terricfc
that one seems falling through the
air. The knees after a few seconds
become weak and tremulous, the
ears ring as the drums of theseOr.
gans are forced inward by the ar
pressure, and the eyes shut involu,
tarily as the beams of the shaft seen
to dash upward only a foot or two
away. AS one leaves the light Of the
upper day the transition to darkness
is fantastic. The light does not pas:
into gloom in the same fashion that
our day merges into night, but there
is a kind OF phosphorescent glow,
gradually becoming DINNER and
DINNER. Half way down you pass
with a roar and sudden crash the as.
eending car; and at last, after what
seems several minutes, but is onlya
fraction of hat time, the platform
begins to slow up, halts at a gate,
and through ityou step into a crowd
of creatures in the shape of men,
but with blackened faces, the glar.
ing eyes and wild physiognomies Of
fiends-"

The Bad and Worthless

Are never initiated or counterfeited.
This is especially true of a family
medicine, and it is positive proof
that the remedy initiated is Of the
highest value. AS soon as it had
been tested and proved by the whole
world that Hop Bitters was the pur-
est, best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many limitations
sprung up and began to steal the
notices in which the press and peo-
pie of the country had expressed
the merits of III. B., and in every
way trying to induce suffering inva-
lids to use their stuff instead, ex-
pecting to make money on the credit
and good name of H. B. Many
others started nostrums put up in
similar style to H. B., with variously
devised names in which the word
Hop" or Hops" were used in a
way to induce people to believe they
were the same as Hop Bitters. Ali
such pretended remedies or cures,
no matter what their style or name
is, and especially those with the
word Hop" or Hops" in their name
or in any way connected with them
or their name, are limitations or
counterfeits. Beware of them.
Touch none of them. Use nothing
but genuine Hop Bitters, with a
bunch or cloister of green Hops on
the white label. Trust nothing else.
Druggists and dealers are warned
against dealing in limitations or
counterfeits.

A Naughty Prince.

A naughty boy, and sadly insub-
ordinate, was Prince William of
Russia in his younger days. He
was taken to see the wedding of his
uncle, the Prince of Wales, and was
there placed between two other of
his royal u%ncles, that they might
keep him still. But, alackl the
guardians Of juvinile peace should
not have been arrayed in Highland
garb. For the royal youngster would
squirm and fidget and ask questions
in too audible whispers, and then,
whenever he was touched to keep
quiet, down ducked his royal head
and savagely closed his royal teeth
upon their royal, but unprotected
legs, to the detrimenta at once of their
comfort and dignity, and the gravity
of the occasion. Such, at any rate,
was the explanation of certain I'M
easy antics as given by the boys
mother TO the Bishop of Winchester
and recorded in that prelate's life of
his son, Mr.. Reginald Wilberforce.
