away to her room and changed her
wedding dress for heavy gray silk
travelling dress. She then returned
to the company and was soon after
wards joined by the President who
had in the meantime changed his
dress suit for travelling costume.
This was about $50 o'clock and the

If Governor Wilson had looked
into the facts connected with the con-
viction of Joe Paul we think he
would have hesitated about
granting him a pardon. Paul was
tried twice. The first time the jury
found him guilty of murder in the
first degree. This verdict was set
aside because one of the jurors had, at
the time of the killing, expressed an
opinion Of the crime. At the sec
ond trial Paul entered plea of
guilty, and under the instructions of
the court, the jury rendered YER
dict Of murder in the second degree.
There we're hardly any palliating
circumstances and at the time it
was the public sentiment of this
community that Paul escaped with
very light punishment.-Porkers-

INDUSTRIAL GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

The industrial growth of the
South that has for several years at
tracted so much attention, has lately
been marked by decided movement
toward the wider diversifcation of
manufactures. One of the most
noticeable features of this change is
the establishment of steel works in
that section. At Chattanooga a
twenty-five. ton steel plant was lately
put into operation, and has been
running very successfully since. In
the same city Bessemer steel rail
works, to produce $50 tons day,
are under construction. A large
steel plant has just been finished in
Wheeling, and now Richmond is to
have steel works with daily
capacity of 200 tons, while Knox
vile will probably soon follow in the
same line, as the Knoxville Iron
Company expect shortly to establish
a steel plant. These facts mean that
the South is no longer to be engaged
in producing the raw material only
for Others to turn into highly-finished
manufactured goods. The era of a
wide diversification of industrial in
terests is now opening in the South,
and the outlook for q solid and sub
stantial development of the South's
manufactures grows more promising
every day. Baltimore Manufac-

tiocks of birds coming towards the
light from some point that l could
not imagine, as no birds were in
sight before the shock. Hundreds
and hundreds of plover, yellow-leg-

and strange sea-birds circled wildly
about the great lamp and dashed
themselves in terror, and in a way
that i never saw them do before,
against the thick glass panes around
the lamp, until their blood dyed the

The Wax Dollar.

When Grandma Babcock went to visit Aunt Ada she took Trotty with her. Trotty was three years old and was very fond of good things. She found out very soon that there was grocery and provision store near the house where Aunt Ada lived.
 In front of the store hung two big punches of bananas. Trotty liked ba- nanas very much.
 One day, when Trotty was playing out on the front steps, her aunt, who was very fond of her, leaned out of the win dow and threw down a little package.
 "There, Trotty," she said, Ego and buy banana"
 Trotty unwrapped the package and found two cents. She went to the store feeling as if she had grown to be very big girl.
 After that she wanted to go every day to get bananas, and she soon spent all the pennies her aunt had.
 'Tll have to spend my penny now" :" she said. 'I found it in the sewing ma chine drawer, and I've been saving it."
 She went to her baby house, picked up little box, and then started for the store.
 The grocer took down the biggssl banana he had and gave it to her; bu he laughed when he looked at the mons9 Trotty put in his hand.
 "see what that child gave me-" he saAi to Aunt Ada, when she was in the stox the next day.
 Aunt Ada looked and saw that 1t WI a big waxed dollar that she had mad years before when she was taking lesson in wax-work.
 And Trotty had thought it was pen ny, and had bought banana with it, Our Little Ones.

The Best Food for Horses.

Horses have small stomachs, and al- though they can subsist well upon grass, yet it is difficult for them to eat cnough hay to keep them in the best condition, because it is not so easily digestible nor as nutritious as fresh young grass. They may look plump, and may even be fat, but fat gives no strength, and is wholly deceptive as to condition of health and strength. Hay is not complete food, as it does not furnish the requisite proteine for the production of flesh and the restoration of the waste of nitrogen ous matter from the system by every muscular movement. The majority of farmers, and especially of lumbermen, freighters and others, whose horses work hard, favor the use of corn and oats, or corn and rye, finely ground, and fed with cut hay in only sufficient quantity to fill the stomach. The usual ration of the street-car horses, whose work is the hardest and most tiresome of any, is 5 pounds of cut hay and 8 pounds of mixed corn and oats ground given three times a day. The writer's practice has been to give the same ration of hay with pounds of the mixed gronnd feed during the winter, and in the summer the same twice day, with 8 pounds of oats at noon.-Neso York Times.

Making Skull Caps.

A curious manufacture peculiar to Tunis, North Africa is that of skull caps, noted, too, for their brilliancy oi color, their fneness and durability, az compared with those made in France and Italy. The wool, mixture of native Tunisian and Spanish, the proportion ot each varying according to the intended fneness and price of the article, is comb. cd and spun into fine, soft thread, and woven, or oftener knit, into the conical caps. These are soaked in oil, and then kind of form being placed on the knee of the workman, they are milled by rub ping the sides together, frequently turn ing the caps; by this process they are re- duced to about one-half their first size. When the cap is sufficiently thickened, it is brushed with burr from kind of thistle, in order to bring out the nap, the fbers which project too far being cut off with shears. The caps, thus reduced, mapped, and clipped, are in the form of a demi- globe, and are then sent to Tarvan to be dyed deep crimson, the water of this place being peculiarly adapted fo1 the dyeing.

 The United States House Judiciary Con- m1ttee may report to the House when next called the Bankruptcy bill.

These are the only radiol change, made though the final vote on the bill has not been taken.
