more picking. From every portion oil the
country we learn that the cotton crop has
turned out from 20 to 30 per cent. better
than was anticipated. The coil is now in
good condition and vast Quantities Of wheat
and oats are being sown, which will make
fine pastursge for stock during the winter

Origin of the Word Mississippi.

The Mississippi is a good in

which some names have passed.
Its original spelling, and the
nearest approach to the Algon-
quin word, the father of waters,
is Meche Sebe, a spelling still
commonly used by the Louisi-
ana Creoles Tonti suggested
Micho Sepe. which is somewhat
nearer to the present spelling.

added the first and some other
explorer tho second "s," max.
ing it Mississippi, and so it re-
mains in France to this day,
with only one "p.' The man
who added the other has never
been discovered, but he must
habe been an American, for at

w. Briton, of New York, SAID
"Onc Of the serious wants of
this country, and our trade, is
good boys. The greatest din.
Guilty that we experience in New
York, is that of getting boys
who have brainn, aud ars willing
TO learn n trade thoroughly.
The example Of men who have
made millious In a few years, is
held mp before our boys In
schools, and the boys become
lntlamed with the notion that
they must make their millions
and be able to found crossroad
colleges before they dio. So
they eschew trades and become
poor professionals" America
to-day depends upon Europe
for her most skilled and finest
workmen, simply because her
young men slight the minutia of
the trade they go to learn, and
merely obtain a superficial or
general knowledge Of 1t. We
have too many professional men
in the countr, to pay, and as
the speaker above referred to
says, our schools love to dwell
too much on the achievements Of
professional men. A man with
trade well learned, next to the
farmer, is tho most indopend.

men. He is prepared for any

A SIangy Girl.
[Chicago Timcs.l

Under the present order OF
things, should the novelists go
INTO tho highways and resorts
of the world to study reality, he
will find many a daughter OF the
gods, more divinely fair, who,
when her lips are opened, will
dispel tho charm of her presence
and bring to mind the old fairy
tale of the damsel from whose
lips cropped toads and snakes
at every word; who. lcknowledg-
ed no law of etiquette but her
own whim; whose standard OF
regard 10 others is her own
convenience; whose greatest
virtue is indifference, and whose
best charm is absense. 1t Is
true that at summer resorts
there are charming and lovely
girls, but their refined presence
is completely overshadowed by
tho pushing, noisy vulgarity oi

Learn a Trade Boys.

Boys, learn a trade. Learn a
trade even if you are in position
which may seem to insure you
against want as long as you may
live. You may not follow a
trade for a living, but time in-
vested in learning a trade and
learning it thoroughly, is the
laying away of capital stock
on which you may find it very
convenient to draw some day.
Life is said to be an uncertain
existence. 1t is, 80 far as%ealth
is concerned. You may be a
rich man to-day, but by some
unlucky Investment which made
great promises at the start, and
tailed, you are made a poor man
With good trade, under such
circumstances, you have an OK
haustless reserve fund to draw
from. Not only learn the theory
of a trade, but learn its practi
cal worth. and learn it thorough
ly. In the Carriage Makers

good feeding brings good ma
