Fort Payne, Alabama.

The wonderful growth of this New Eng.
land city in the South has been such as to
occasion EXPLANATIONS of surprise from all
visitors Surely, say many, the magicians
art alone could have produced this great
transformation in few short months. To
those who have studied tho situation the
growth seems the most natural thing inap-
Unable and not at all to be wondered at,
though phenomenal.
VI all the fiourishing towns and cities Of
the South this one has attracted most atten-
ton, perhaps, for here alone is to be worked
out the result of the first organized move
ment of the capital and brains from the
North and East in the development of the
vast resources of this region of country.
Here the iron ore of the best quality is
within quarter Of a milo of the furnace.
Limestone for fuxing is yet nearer. ON the
opposite side, and the coke ovens are building
ON the lot adjoining the furnace. A like
condition of fortuitous circumstances do NOT
exist elsewhere in this or any other country
TO insure cheap production of pig iron.
Besides, this country abounds in claws that
makes the finest quality of fire bricks, sewer
pipe, terra Gotta, ETC.; in kaolin and halov-
site, from which is made the finest crockery
and pottery; in sand for moulding and for
glass making; in building stone of beautiful
colors and shades; in forests of timber both
hard and soft woods; in productive soil; in
beautiful scenery; an abundance Of pure
spring water, and in healthful surroundings
Its location is in the Wills Valley, between
Lookout and Sand Mountains, on the Queen

many thousand acres of land. At that time
the population numbered 531; now it is a
city Of over 5000 population, with electric

In that time there has been erected
and in process Of erection over five hundred

churches, opera house, etc, The officers of
the company are busy day and night ar
ranging for new industries, answering scores
of letters daily received, entertaining visit
ors and pushing the building operations OF

Where Men, Women and Children
Smoke.

All Of the Burmese people smoke
men, women and children-says a cor
respondent. have seen many three and
four-year-old children smoking, and the
Burmese maiden learns to smoke as soon
as she can walk. All the girls are
adopts in rolling cheroots, and in Bur
mese counting the girl gives her lover
cheroots rolled with her own hands, and
the two take, doubt not, whiffs IN turn
in smoking them. 1t is common to pass
the cigar from one friend to another, and
in group of three girls, whom l watched
having their fortunes told under the
shadow of the great golden pagoda, l
saw that one cigar did for the trio.

different ways there are Of changing
quarter of a dollar. According to a
Philadelphia man who had more leisure
than business on his hand. there are 315
ways of changing that piece of money.
The pieces used are the 20 cent piece, 10
cent piece, 5-cent piece, scent piece, 3
cent piece and the 1-cent piece. To
make all the changes without using the
same coip twice would require 1888 l.

EVILS oF ALCOHOL.

The evil wrought by alcoholic drink is now
acknowledged and proclaimed by all the or
gans of public opinion. Itundermines health,
enfeebles the will, coarsens the mind and in
flames animal passions. Itseparates husbands
and wives, divides families and deprives
children of the home influence which moth

of morals fills prisons and insane asylums

Nine-tenths Of all troubles which require the
aid Of plasters are rheumatic in their nature,

causes a cold which developes into muscular

yet, there has never yet been such thing as a

and hundreds have died suddenly where rheu-
matism has attacked the heart, whose lives
might have been saved had this plaster been
applied in season. They are constructed on

Mount Nebo, Ark.

A Little Rock gentleman in private letter
writes of Mount Nebo as follows:
''In fancy 90 with me to the south point of the
mountain and look South, and before you almost at
your feet lies Jones Mountain, to your right in the
extreme distance, say about forty miles, lies Maya
zine Mountain, its sides and top dark, greenish
blue of smoky cast outlined against the brighter
blue of the sky, capped in places by Aeecy clouds,
the remnants of last nights storm; nearer to you
stretches in unduating heights the Petit Jean
range, dividing the valleys of the Fourche and
Petit Jean. 70 your immediate right is Spring
Mountain of equal height with Mount Nebo, its
sides and top covered from summit to base with
varying shades of green, broken in places by rocky
lodges which show upon its sides. Between the
foot of Jones, Nebo and Spring mountains spread
the valleys dotted here and there with fields in Gull
tivation, showing their lighter greens and shapes
in striking contrast to the prevailing dark green of
the forests, while along the foot of Petit Jean
Mountain where the river runs, are rising white
leecy clouds, looking like pufs of smoke from the
guns of line of infantry drawn up in battle
Scattered over this great expanse you see dotted
about the same white, feecy clouds in isolated
puffs, just rising out from the trees These are
the sharp-shooters and pickets forming the adj
vance, while back of all outlined against the
SKY and rising steadily are the heavy dark thunder
clouds. This is the artillery. In a short time Won
will see the flash of its guns and here it thunder
all along the line, as the coming storm approaches,
1t is getting sultry even now. But, to 60 on: In
front and a little east of south can be seen the
peaks of the Hot Springs mountains sixty miles
away, while the Petit Jeans, increasing as thew
approach the Arkansas River can be seen looming
up between us and the Hot Springs Mountains,

Do YOU see that little silver streak just at the foot
of the mountain? Well that is the Arkansas River,
and is just opposite Morrilton about thirty miles
from where we stand in bee line. Look closer
down and to your left, there lies Dardanelle nestled
in the trees The spaces between the trees, where
the waters Of the river shine through, take on fan
ciful shapes looking like churches, towers and
castles of some tabled CITY, Right to the left is
Dardanee Rock, lifting its rugged front out of the
river, which winds and shines in the sunlight like
broad ribbon of silver, here and there losing
itself among the trees and around the bends of the
foot hills, to appear again and again. in silver
streaks miles and miles away.
tAcross the river, but little distance away, is
Russellville, and rising in the distance by sue

see to the north and northeast of the Boston noun

at the foot of this range; and so the panorama

"Your letter bears no date" he said,

At this, she smiling shook her head
And answered, "Sir, do you not know,
Gentlemen take no note of time

"Tlme flies too fast, swift fleetng years
Ask not ladies to remember;
Why wonder If no date appears.
Perhaps wrote in mild September,
. Or not till wintry winds blew chill
Der banks of snow in bleak December"
To this he answed, "Yours just received
Its contents hurriedly noted;
Referring to what Lord Chesterfield said,
The words of Ben Franklin are quoted
Take head of time, oft life is made;'
May it ever deal gently in flight
With mother, with sister, wife and maid,
Bring them nothing at joy and delight"

Peace to the ashes of her memory. The feminine
mind never expanded while the waist was COM
pressed in wise of bone and steel. Man has had
a corner on comfort long enough, and hefeld heso
long monopolizeds at last suffering from encroach-
ments More of masculine superiority springs
from their mode of masculine attire than is usually
estimated. Lace him, pinch him, burden him,
cripple him and in short, subject him to the usual
mode of feminine torture, and then give the female
sex unfettered limbs, muscles and joints for gen.
Grafton or two, and see where the superiority would
crop out.

away with the corset and high heels, and The
gentle sex will carve out its own future.
