lately been published. Dr. Chappeu found, to quote his own words, 'sthat 1,231 of the 2,000 were suffering from some anatomical abnormality, and usually with it's accompa- nying symptoms of respiratory obstruction and catarrh." Most of the abnormal condi.
 tions appear after the age of six years, and
 children of different social surroundings ap-
 pear to be equally liable to them. 'tIt would
 seem," says Dr. Chappell in conclusion,
 "that persons having the oversight of chill
 dren should have them examined between
 the age of six and fourteen years, to ascer-
 tain the condition of the throat and nose. It
 is not the throat and nose alone which suffer from these abnormal conditions, but many other ailments, especially of the pulmonary. digestive and nervous systems, can be traced to prolonged nasal obstruction and irrita- tion"
 The first three months of 1889 have shown an unprecented industrial activity in the South. Scarcely week." it says, 'has passed since the opening of the New Year that has not witnessed the formation of companies backed by millions of capital to prosecute great enterprises, while the num- Der of smaller but none the less important ventures has surprisingly multiplied" It has not been boom in simply one field, but general awakening in the whole domain of trade and industry. Nor has it been con- fined to limited area of few States, but has been universal throughout the South The Record gives this glowing picture: Southern furnaces are multiplying-new ones built from profits of existing "plants. Southern cotton mills are increasing, faith in their dividend earning power being so strong based on past experience-as to draw heavy investments of capital for building new mills. Mining and railroad building, too, go on at rapid pace. Some of the richest portions of the South are now being opened to the approach of capital and oom- merce. New towns and cities are springing up, and even the most Finished" of the older municipalities are bidding farewell to the spirit of old fogyism and welcoming the gen. jus of enterprise.

THE AMNIERmAN CASE,

\ The decision in the Zimmerman pension ! case will interest a great many pension ! claimants and others. The question involv- ed was whether or not the claimant was in ! the line of his duty when he received the in- juries for which he claimed pension. Zimmerman was a soldier in regiment of Ohio volunteers and one day in the fall of 1868 was standing in front of his tent. Sev- ! eral of the men were engaged in a general frolic near by and one of them, leaving the ! others, came up to Am merman and engaged him in conversation. While his attention was thus attracted another kneeled down be- ' hind him and his comrade pushed the other backward, after the manner of boys. Am merman broke several bones around his I shoulders and has since suffered greatly from the injuries. Ammerman's claim was re- jected. The caae was appealed and Assist ant Secretary Hawkins, after hearing argu-
 ments, decided in June, 1886, that the re- jection by the commissioner of pensions should stand and the ease was entered in the bureaus book of leading cases as exemplify- ing the principle that "the proximate cause of the injury must pertain to have direct connection with services and the line of duty in order to give title to a pension" As Zimmerman was not engaged in play himself and was not transgressing any of the ord-
 mary rules of camp life, he still claimed that
 his case was good. Nr. Bussy reversed the ruling of the office in this case and ordered the claim of Zimmerman admitted. His claim was that -ae claim was connected with
 his military service in that the service placed
 him in a position where, without fault on
 his part, he received his hurt Zimmerman
 will now receive large sum as arrears of
 pension.
 number of similar cases depend upon
 this decision. The point is @ fine one, but
 Zimmerman and other claimants like him
 will readily see it.

FLORIDA CORAL.
How the Hardy Ffshermen Obtain 1s
 From the Hue Sea.

How the Hardy Fishermen Obtain 1s From she Hue Sea.
 The coral fishing off the coast of Florida is yet in its infancy, writes New York Trib- une correspondent. Near Key West hun dreds of people are employed in the indus- try; but with improved methods and wid- CT market for it, this number will be great ly increased. There is an almost inexhausti- ble supply of the best coral along the reefs and shore of the mainland, which is waiting to be gathered for manufacturing purposes. Thousands of dollars are already invested in the industry, but there is ample room for thousands more. The dredges are of most primitive character and many of the workers an inexperienced lot.
 Extending almost parallel with the coral banks is sponge reef. It begins few miles east of Apalachicola, and hugs the coast to within 50 miles of Cedar key, and after making break of 100 miles, 1t reap pears again, and runs south to Key West and the Bahama islands. In the neighborhood of Key West the coral fishers and sponge fishers work within sight of each other, both fishing for material that is becoming dearer every year, owing to the gradual disappear ance of the supply. Oftentimes the coral is dredged from the same reef from which the sponges have been taken. This IS possible, for the sponge reef, as it is called, is princi- pally of coral, changing in places to genuine limestone. The sponges are found wherever the bottom is rocky, and it is generally SUD- posed that the rocky ridge extends as far as the Texas coast. In fact, the supply is @ large one, as already discovered and the real extent of it is probably not half known.
 Where the water is from 10 to 30 feet deep over the reef, the work of gathering sponges is carried on continually. Many of the sponges are much superior in quality to those from the Mexican coast, and they grow so rapidly that the same reef can be dredeed over every two or three years. Two or three dozen schooners are now engaged in the work of gathering the sponges, each schoon- carrying two small boatsy manned by a crew of two. When the reef is reached the small boats put off, and while on sculls the other keeps an eye out for sponges. A sim pie contrivance enables the watohmen to see sponRes on the reef 20 feet or more under the water. On the side of the small boat a long barrel sort of arrangement is built, the lower end of which is under water and closed up by glass head. By placing his head in this barrel the watchman can see through the clear water to the bottom of the sea with remarkable distinctness. When a good sponge is detected it is brought up with an iron hook on long pole. Oonsid- erable knack is required to dislodge sponge

The DiGorence Dress Made In Young Girls Feelings.
 Minnie was 16 writes New York GOT. respondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. She wore girlish frocks reaching down to her an. kles only, but to make up for the juvenile shortage of the skirts the bodices came al ways up to her chin and had sleeves to he, wrists. Her hair hung in a braid, and she had the aspect of an immature maiden. Her manners were correspondingly free and inno- cent. She had rather an audaoious cousin Jack, who took all manner of liberties with her, within the bounds of purity. They were of-hand, familiar and afectionate toward each other. One day Jack called at the house. On departing, he took Minnie up in his arms, carried her down to the front hallway and kissed her good afternoon. There were sev- eral witnesses, and none of us thought any, thing of the little event. Nor did the girl She had her arm around Jacks neck, while he carried her, for fear of falling and with no show of either liking or disliking the mutual hug. She neither dodged nor invited his kiss, but accepted it as heedlessly as though 1t had been given by me. We'll, that same evening, Jack and Minnie went with older members of the family to ball. Ain- nie, for the first time in her life, wore the long skirts of an adult Besides her hair was done up in an imposing coihure her open
 
 her fair, taper arms were bare to the tops of her dimpled shoulders. I was with her in the parlor when Jack came. He was astonished by the transformation. He had left her child in the afternoon. He found her young woman in the evening. Now, mark how maladroit a man is, and how, by impulse, a woman lives up to her clothes. It is this point that I wish to to impress on Bro. Howells of Harper's Nigga zine, and Bro. Abbot of the Christian Union. Jack didn't realize that the change of raiment demanded 6 simultaneous and equally radical change in manners. He grabbed Minnie in his arms, gave her hug and kissed her. But did she artlessly and coolly submit sgainf Not much. She drew herself away with dignity. Her face flushed genuinely, and she looked like Queen sen- tencing traitor to the block.
 eff you ever do such thing as that again." she said, s'I shall forbid you the house."
 "But-but-now-" Jack began to protest; "yeu needn't be so bumptious, Minnie, just because you have-well-" and his eyes dropped from the fresh disclosure of shoul- ders to the new concealment of ankles "just because you have straightened up through your clothes"
 "That's just it, Jack" and Minnie sighed with regret at the necessary assumption of decorum; 'and if you try to hug nae I'll scream for mamma" Then she naively add ed 'tBut suppose I'll be wearing the old frocks once in while here at home."

PAPER PENCILS.
Much Better Than Wood for the Pul
 p0se-H0w They Are Made.

Much Better Than Wood for the Pur.
 pOse-HOw They Are Made.
 Paper pencils are the subject of patent which promises to lead to large industry, says the London Inventor, as it understands that the price at which they can be produced is marvelleusly low. Ordinary cedar wood denoils, as every one knows, are made by glowing two pieces of wood together, after having placed into 8 slot made in one of them a prepared slip of graphite or other marking material. But though 1t seems so simple there are great many operations to be performed in doing this, such as cutting the large wood into strips of the right size, making the slot or groove in which the lead has to be placed, preparing the leads of the required size, firing these to make them firm, then placing them by hand in the slots of the wood strips, glueing these strips together and after the glue is set the two paeces of glued wood have to be rounded eff and polished, etc.
 The idea of using paper, instead of wood, for pencils is not new, but an objection to pencils thus formed was the dificulty of sharpening, paper being so tough that; even with the sharpest knife, the jerking from the paper to the lead caused the latter to snap of. Then, again, the paper having to be folded round previously formed and hard
