REHABILITATION OF THE SOUTH
The depression in the price of cotton
for the last two years has been a sore
encouragement to all the growers of
that plant. 1t has lessoned the in
comes of tens of thousands of south
ern families, and has impoverished
all those who relied upon the indus
tries which depended upon what was
once proudly known as "king cot
ton" Incidently the South may
profit by this apparent disaster, for
it may-nay, it has-lead to a diver
silication of the industries south of
Mason and Dixion's line. The South
IS now a large manufacturer of cot
ton goods. 1t grows more corn and
breeds more hogs than formerly. 1t
would raise more wheat only that
the cereal has been reduced in mar
ket value as well as cotton; but the
most encouraging sign is the de-
velopment of the coal and iron
industries of the Southern States.
Some of the finest bituminous coal
in the world is to be found in the
States just south of the Ohio River.
The Norfolk and Western Railroad
alone has increased its coal business
in one year from 100000 to $1,000
600. Then in the manufacture Of
cheap iron Northern Alabama can
beat the world. The very best pig
iron is now made in that region for
50 and SO n ton, while the very
best Pennsylvania can do, even with
gas fuel, is S12 a ton. Southern iron
can now be sold in Philadelphia as
well as in all the Eastern States.
Indeed, there are sanguine people
who think that some time in the flu
ture Southern iron may be sold in
Europe at profit.

Why She Married.

In recently making the trip in a
stage-coach over the rugged range of
hills called the "Baraboo Bluffs, be-
tween the towns ofLodi and Baraboo
In Wisconsin, the coachful ofsqueez-
ed and jolted passengers found some
relief from the tediousness of the
journey in the original remarks
which, from time to time, fell from
the lips of an elderly woman who
was one of the company. She per-
sisted in expressing great contempt
for the other sex, and for married
life generally, and intimated that
such had always been her opinion
and as it leaked out from her con-
versation that she had been married
and had raised a large family of
children, | ventured to ask her how
it happened that with the feelings of
contempt she had from the first felt
for the men she ever could have
married one of them.
"Wa'al," said she, young man,
I'll tell you jest how it twas. When
1 was little gal I lived in a family
where there was an old maid, who,
in going up stairs to bed, had to go
through an entry way where there
was a pile of potatoes in one corner
and she used to make me 90 and
kiver 'em, for fear they'd see, cause
they had eyes. Wa'al, thinks l, if
old maids is like that, / won't be
one nohow. So you see, as soon as
/ got old enough, like fool, went
and got married"

The Inventor Of Valve Motion.

The invention of the valve to
steam engine was in very incom-
plete condition, from the fact there
was no way to open and close the
valve except by means of levers OPP
Grated by hand. He set up large
engine at one of the mines, and a
boy Humphrey Potter was hired
TO work these levers. Although this
is not hard work, yet it required his
constant attention. AS he was work.
the levers he saw that parts of the
engine moved in the right direction
and at the same time he had to open
and close the valves. He procured
a strong cord, and made one end
fast tothe proper part of the engine,
and the other end to the valve-lever,
and the boy had the satisfaction of
seeing the engine move with perfect
regularity of motion. A short time
after the foreman came around, and
saw the boy playing marbles at the
door, Looking at the engine, he
saw the ingenuity of the boy, and
also the advantage of his invention.
The idea suggested by the boys in
ventive genius was put in a practi
cal form and made the steam engine
an automatically working machine.

Branding Cattle.

The subject of branding cattle at
the West can but interest all readers.
1t is matter of importance, for it is
the only method of establishing title
to four-footed property. Every stock
owner has his brand, which is reg
ularly recorded and is well known.
1t is an immense affair, as large as a
frying-pan, and is burned into the
shoulder of the animal. When the
latter changes owners the sellers
brand is rented, 4. e., turned upside
down and burned on the hip, and
the purchaser puts his own brand
on the shoulder Consequently, if
an animal is so unlucky as to pass
through many hands he begins to
look like newspaper war map.
Every frontiersman always notes
the brand upon all the stock that he
meets. Ifyou should ask one of
them if he had seen a red steer with
awhith patch ON his right eye, brand
ed with dot in circle and two
notches in his left ear, he would tell
you he saw him yesterday forenoon
with three other cattle of so-and-so's
herd, near such and such place,
and you would probably find him
there.
We discovered, however, that there
are ways that are dark on the prairie,
as well as in cities. 1t seems to be
generally understood that a promis-
ing steer or horse that might find its
way into the herd of a ranchman,
other than the owner, would be apt
to be found to have acquired new
brand in some mysterious manner
1t was asserted that u hot frying pan
placed over an old brand, would
obliterate it so as to render identif-
cation impossible. Croton oil, we
were told, was also sometimes used
for the same purpose by some cattle
men who did not shrink from steal
ing another's property.-American

What Young Ladies Should Do.

Do be natural. A poor diamond
is better than a good imitation.
Do try to be accurate, not only for
your own sake Of your sex. The
incapacity of the female mind for
accuracy is standard argument
against the equality of the sexes.
Do observe. The faculty of obser-
walton, well cultivated, makes prac-
teal men and women.
Do try and be sensible. 1t is not
a particular sign of superiority to
talk like a fool.
Do be ready in time for church.
If you do not respect yourself sulf-
ciently to be punctual, respect the
feelings of other people.
Do avoid causes OF irritation in
your family circle; reflect that home
is the place to be agreeable.
Do be reticent; the world AZ large
has no interest in your private affairs.
Do cultivate the habit of listenino
to Others; it will make you an inyal-
liable member ofsociety, to say moth
ing OF advantages it will be to Won
when you marry; every man likes to
talk about himself a good listener
makes a delightful wife.
Do be contented; martyrs" are
detestoble; u cheerful, happy spirit
is infectious; you can carry it about
with you like a sunny atmosherc.
Do avoid whispering; it is as bad
as gigling. Both are to be con-
demmed; there isnoexcuse for either
one Of them. If you have anvtbino
to say, say it; you have not. do
hold your tongue altogether. silence
is golden.
