THE BOSTON GIRL ABROAD.

The story of a Boston girl abroad is
concocted by the London Illustrated
News The proprietor of n fashionable
West End hotel does mot receive
young ladies who are unaccompanied
by chaperons, even though they hail
from the United States. The other
day a saucy young dansel from Boston
went bowling along PIccadilly in high
spirits and spick -and-span new hanson.
The ''fatchins," combination pulled
up at the-hotel. She bounced in and
asked if she could have room for the
night. Before the clerk could twist a
smile to decorate his regrets that every
apartment in the house was engaged
the young lady snapped out: "My
mamma will be here tonight from
Liverpool I've telegraphed for her."
ooh, very we'll in that case yoa
can, perhaps, be accommodated"
gently suggested the clerk. The new
arrival went on, in a voice tremulous
with irritation, Perhaps you'd like to
send for my father, too, and my sis
ters and my Cousins, my aun.s and a
grandfather or two mamma will
answer the purpose nicely the clerk
replied with serenity. "Ish, I'm glad
of that" replied the Boston lassie
with a toss of the head, because if it
will appease your suspicious as to who
l am, / can show you my vi-iting
cards, certificate of my birth, the
pedigree of my family for three gen.
erations back, and the vaccination
mark on my right arm" The clerk
bowed humbly, and the young lady
trotted off to her apartment.

"THE NEW SOUTH

We often hear pleasant things said
about the New South" its marvellous
growth, and the opportunities it holds
out to judicious investors; but the full
measure of its prosperity is not under
stood until the figures are scanned on
which these claims are founded. The
statistics gathered by the Manufactu-
rer's Record show that this years cot
ton crop will reach the unprecedented
total of 100000 bales, commanding
prices higher than those of last wear,
and raised at a lower cost than any
crop since the war The corn crop is
likewise the greatest ever known, ap-
proaching $50, 900, 900 bushels. Wheat
and oats, though not in advance of
1887, show ali improvement over 1888,
and are estimated at 80, 900 900 bush
els of the former and $4,000, 900 BUSH
els of the latter. Indeed, the increase
In the value of all Southern crops this
year over last wall range somewhere
between 1925, 100000 and sl50,OOO,-
900. Meanwhile, the railroad mileage
has gone on extending More than
twenty thousand miles have been built
within the lat ten years, during which
period some SS00,O00, 900 have been
spent in laying new roads and improv-
ing old ones. The assessed value of
property shows an increase in the last
year alone of S175,000,000, or more.
In mining and manufacturing enter
prises the most encouraging progress
is shown. Since 1880 the pig iron
product of the South has increased
from 397 ,3O1 to more than one mil
lion tons. Within the same period
the output of coal has swelled from
G, ,048,671 to $4,000, 900 tons; the cot
ton mills have more than doubled in
and nearly quadrupled in ca
pacity; while the cotton seed oil mills
have multiplied almost seven fold.
The diversification of industries is the
greatest thing that could have occur
red in the South for her benefit; and
the war, inasmuch as it forced this
change on her, may fairly be said to
have been blessing in DISGUISE

THE WORD "WIFE.'

What do you think the beautiful
word "wife' comes from? 1t is the
great word in which the English and
Latin languages conquered the French
and Greek. l hope the French will
some day get word for it instead of
femme" But what do you think it
comes from? The great value of Sax
on words is that they mean something.
Wife means weaver" You must
either be housewives or house moths;
remember that. In the deep sense,
you must either weave mems fortunes
and einbroider tlem, or feed upon
and bring them to decay. Wherever
true wife comes, home is always
around her. The stars may be over
her head. the glow worm in the nights
cold grass be the fire at her feet, but
home is where she is, and for noble
woman it stretches far around her.,

homeless. This. / believe, is the wo-
mans true place and power.

follows:
"You must know that l cannot see

ference; and vet it may be that you

trouble you with this letter. Perhaps
any other man would know enough

allow the plea. | want in all cases to

all cases with women. / want ut this

else, to do right with you; and if /
knew it would be doing right, as I

purpose of making the matter as plain
as possible, now say you can drop

you ever had any-from me forever,
and leave this letter unanswered with
out calling forth one accusing mur-
mur from me. And l will 20 even
further and say that if it will add any
thing to your comfort or peace of mind
to do so, it is my sincere wish that you
