"The Christian burglar is at work in
Missouri. He entered the residence OF
an old gentleman in the village OF
Louisiana the other night, opened the
family Bible at Exodus, twentieth chap
ter, marked the eight commandment.
"Thou, shalt not steal," laid the old
gentleman's spectacles across the page

fishing is allowed in Canada waters on

THE GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

The increase of manufacturing enter
prises in the South is remarkable. The
new enterprises organized during the first
nine months Of the present year, taken
together with the enlargement of old
plants, will employ an aggregate capital
OF $j2, 3sG, 300. In this list Kentucky
leads of, with n capital of $l4,O05 900.
West Virginia comes second, with 80, G44,-
900 Maryland third, with So, 107, 500, and
Alabama fourth, with 81, s64,0 900.
The growth Of the South has been mar
vicious for the past five years. The in
crease in railroad mileage since 1879 is
ll,0O0 miles. The assessed value of the
property of the South, not including the
large capital invested in manufacturing
enterprises, which is chiefly exempt from
taxation, has increased 5000, O00, 900. The
production Of corn has increased 80 per
cent in that time, and that Of oats 10. In
cotton mills the gain has been 100 per
cent and in cotton seed oil mills $50 per
cent. A like increase has been made in
the production of coal and pig iron.
These specimen facts, illustrative of
the industrial activity of the South dur
ing the last five years, which activity is
greater at the present time than ever,
shows that the war Is over in that section,

In HAS long been known that United
States senators have a strong prediction
for a beverage popularity called Icold tea.
Its an cxhilirating drink. The senators
who are about to e%lectriiy the country
with long speeches on the tariff or the
propriety OF removing the distractions
from mud scow streams indulge in cold
tea to fortiiy themselves for their forensic
efforts. The senators who are compelled
to listen to these outbursts of senatorial
eloquencc take more cold tea to enable
them to withstand the knock. down argu-
mcnts without physical or mental injury
to themselves. There isn't anything in
toxicating about cold tea, of course. The
senate carly took the precaution to pass a
rule prohibiting the sale Of intoxicating
liquors at the bar of the Senate restau-
rant, and the senators arc too honorable
to allow the violation of their own rules.
Cold tea is inst simply exhilarating, and
its peculiarly refreshing qualities can only
be impaired by a person skilled in mixing
the tea.
