The great Worlds Industrial Fair,
that Is to open in New Orleans on Dec
ember l, 1884, will be Worth going to
see. It. already promises to surpass the
Worlds Fair of London in size and the
Philadelphia Centennial of 1876 in vari-
ETY. of exhibits. The monster building
will be 1873 feet long by 905 feet wide.
The largest structure eve erected here
tofore was the London building Of 1882;
that contained 100000 square. feet.
The main. building. at New Orleans
will contain l,e5o,0O So. feet. It will
be &C, feet high. with a tower; is feet,
and will have a music hall in the center
which will hold 1000 auditors. The
platform will accommodate 600 must
CLANS. OF course, there. will be a horti-
cultural hall, artgallery, and ornament
ii gardens; but the chief interests will
he in the cotton exhibits. Indeed, this
fair is regarded as the centennial Of the
cotton industry in this country. The
United States to-day yields IS per cent.
of all the m~erchantable cotton in the
world. In 1884 the production of cot
ton in the United States was merely
experimental, and q few bags were
shipped for the first ti1ne to England.
whose total trade in cotton was, then
11,25O,o0O pounds consumed and manu-
factured. Great Britain now has 49,
100000 spindles and the United States
makes 2,150,O00 yards Of cloth yearly
The first cotton factory'in the United
States was built in Rhode ISLAND IN
1891, at which time the production of
cotton throughout the world was AGO.
25O,OOO pounds. In 1888 the United
State produced 6,84S, 756 bales. OF 3,405,-
o7O,410 pounds, of which we consumed
l,117,S33e,363 pounds and exported $780,
3l3je92 pounds. To helpthis enterprise
Congress has advanced 100000, and
the other subscriptions: will swell the
amount to s. ,oon,0 900. This exhibition
will be a great thing, for the country,
for it will show@that cotton is King, at
least so far as the South is concerned.
This great fair will continue for six
months.-Demorest's Monthly.

Freer Trade

Although the Morrison bill reducing
the tariff on foreign goods has failed in
the House of Representatives,, it is evil
dent that the best business tendencies
Of the country favor a lowering of our
impost duties so that we can manufac-
ture cheaply, and thus lie able to COM
pete with other countries IN the mark
cts Of the world. Our manufacturers
are now confined to the home market,
and are excluded from foreign ports
because the cost Of production is so
much higher here than abroad; this be-
ing due, Of course, to the artificial en-
hancement of values necessitated by
our heavy tariff imposts.. There have
been several conventions lately Of New
England manufacturers to consider the
subject, Of the liberatizing of our i'm
post duties, but there is no hope Of any
change from the present Congress, yet
there is agood prospect that the next
one may be very differently constitut-

inches in fourteen years, as happens in
this part of Dakota, the majority Of our
people may live to see magnificent for

cost of planting is insignificant COM

healthfulness of forests. 1t is just as
easy to raise trees as it is to raise oats.
They are q crop bearing fruit for aeon

be with twenty acres Of forests on ev-

OF old towns and counties is in their

for our people to plant them for them:

THE NEW MAY DAY,
BY MRS, z V. WILSON.

All mer' sighed May sitting disconsolate.
They did in the olden time my coming cele-
brate
With jocund dances and with merry song.
While happy children played the whole day
long;
And youths ard maidens crowned themselves
Filling with laughter all the flying hours.
But now the busy world goes hurrying by
And on my beauty scarcely casts an eye"
While thus in sorrow grieved the lovely May
Footsteps advanced along the grassy way,
And looking up She saw with outstretched
The goddess Liberty before her stand.
Who cried: Dear May, thou month OF all the
year,
Held by the children and their parents most
dear.
I come a favor at your hands to ask
/ wish your aid In my most holy task
Ofrend'ring honor to my soldiers brave
Who gave their lives the countrys LIE to save
And left as heritage forever Zee
This glorious land stretched from sea TO sea.
Grasping the outstretched hand with winning
Fair May replied, with rapture beaming face;
"Take, then, sweet Liberty, my latest day,
That all my flowers may be in bright array,
In meadow garden, field, and woodland wide,
In valley upland, hill and mountain side.
Let children gather them, while elders tell
The deeds of those who for you fought and
fell.
Let chIldrens hands deck every hero's grave,
And children's hearts paw homage to the brave;
Thus VIII a lesson pure and true be taught,
And sad, sweet pleasure be with wisdom faught.
While /, oh liberty no more will grieve
For the rude honors I did once receive.
Now poets singing of Memorial Day
VIII link their verses with the praise of May,
And all my flowers viii in their stanZas shine
Mid names of heroes gemming every line,
And May win nevermore forgotten be
Where thou art loved and known sweet Liberty"
And since that time May keeps her choicest
blooms,
And brings them forth to deck our soldiers
tOmbS.
The sweet wild roses, od'rous pinks that grow
In woodlands deep, where children love to 90.
And airy columbines, and lilies fair
Whose dainty bells swing silently in air;
And snowballs mocking winter drifts of snow,
And lilac plumes, and almonds 1owery blow
All these, and more she gives to deck each
mound,
Reminding us that it is holy ground
Wherever soldiers lie who died for thee,
And for their cnnntrYlS axe. OH Liberty.

Mrs. Joe HaWley.

Mrs. J. r. Hawley is said to be one of
the most remarkable women of the day.
When Joe Hawley went to the front in
the late unpleasantness his wife went to
the hospital to nurse soldiers. She went
to Washington and served as volunteer
nurse in the Armory Square Hospital,
of which DR.. Bliss was surgeon in
charge. The nurses were all volunteers,
but the difference between the services
at this hospital and that in hospitals
controlled by Miss Dix was that at
Armory Square the pay of the nurses
went into fund to provide special diets
for the patients. The nurses signed
the pay roll but never saw the money.
They knew all about the regulation be-
fore going in, and volunteered to give
their services without compensation.
OF course Mrs. Hawley could afford
this, though there were some others who
came out of the service penniless.-

4 Man of Appeals,
From the Detroit Free Press

From the Detroit Free Press.J
Soon after the train LETT Louisville
Junction the conductor came TO a pas
senger in our coach who had no ticket
He didn't claim to have lost it, but
leaned back, looked the official square
IN the eye and said:
I'm dead broke and have hundred
miles to 60"
"You must pay or get off," was the
reply.
ooh, certainly. l know the rules of
the road by heart. / am now about to
appeal to the generosity of the man in
the next seat"
He appealed. He said he was an I'M
fortunate man who had failed to strike
job in Louisville and wanted to get
back home to starve to death with his
family. 1t was vain appeal. The
man said he was IN the same box him
self, but was going home to kill his
family instead of waiting for hunger to
do the job.
Come, you must pay" said the con-
ductor.
"Oh, of course, but / will now appeal
TO the passengers en- masse."
He rose up and made little speech
full of pathos, misfortune, hunger, cold
and several other unpleasant in
gradients, but nobody seemed inter
ested.
Il can't fool with you any longer"
remarked the conductor. IN stop the
train and off you CO."
Hold on Just a minute. / am now
about to appeal to you personally"
For five minutes he flung his soul
into grand effort to melt the conductor.
He quoted the Bible, eulogized charity
and appealed to humanity, but when he
had finished the conductor reached up
for the cord and said:
81 must obey the rules or lose my
place"
Say, femme appeal once more"
"No-can't do it."
The train stopped and the man bowed
goodbye to everybody and got Oft.
Nine miles up the road where we stopped
at a station, there was a runpus
outside about something and directly
the man of appeals was hauled out from
under the last coach where he had been
riding on the trucks. He was dirt and
slush and mud from head to foot, and
the conductor looked at him and said;
"Now, you want to quit this business
or I'll turn you over to the first consta-
BILE! You look as if a mule had
dragged you twenty miles"
Exactly, but [ couldn't give it up
without one more appeal"
The platforms were crowded and he
flung down his hat and began his APP
peal. In three minutes the passengers
had thrown him about So in cash, and
when the train moved on the conductor
slipped him into the baggage-car as
deadhead.

Save the House SlOps.

1t is surprising what an invigorating
effect results from throwing the slops
of the wash-tub upon plants IN the sum-
ner season. An ordinary flower garden
may be kept IN the most thrifty con-
dition by this means alone; and SO, too,
may the produces Of the vegetable gar
den be made to flourish by a weekly
watering from the wash-tub. A farmer,
who grows quantity of onions every
year, has patch of ground near his
house which he devotes to onion rails
ing, and it is almost entirely fertiized
by the throwing upon it during the
winter season the Stops and urine from
the chambers. Instances of this kind
serve an important purpose in showing
the value of products OF the house that
are pretty generally thrown away as of
no value and so useless. But let farm
ers try an experiment, and they will be
satisfied of the value hidden there
