The surprising cheapness Of fuel gas
is shown by the formation Of compa-
ny in Cincinnati which proposes to
furnish such gas at the rate Of 10 cents
per 1000 feet. Of course no company
would fix price lower than the figures
at which it could make money, and the
formation Of this company shows that
fuel gas can be sold at profit at 10
cents per 1000 feet.

Go South.

Massachusetts, Paper.
The remark, westward the star Of
empire takes her way" is true no long
er. The world westward should be
changed to southwark. According to
figures published in Frank Leslies
newspaper, during 81, 361S new en-
terprises were started in the South,
against 1880 in 1887, 1875 in 1886
or total of 1923 for the entire period.
The amount of capital paid in or to be
called in as required for these new I'M
dertakings, during the past year,
amounts to $16S,SO1 900. Of these
statcs, Alabama comes first with $780,
413,0O0; Kentucky next, with $685.
801, 900; Tennessee, next with $l7,-
954, 900, and so on down to Mississippi,
which took in but $1,97S,O00. 1t ap.
pears, also, that every state in the
South has shared in this grand indus
trial Development. The industries
organized cover wide range, almost
everything, in fact, that even Con
necticut Yankee could think of.
Among them are coke ovens, iron fur
naces, railroad-car and machine shops,
foundries, -four and cotton mills, agri-
cultural implements, furniture, piano,
carr age, wagon, tool, ice, canning and
other factories; numerous lumber, saw,
planning, sash, door and blind, single
and stave mills, stove foundries, cotton
congresses, cotton seed oil mills and
an astonishing number Of mines and
quarries. In addition to these a null
titude Of small shops for making such
things as brooms, clothes pins, wooden
and stoneware have been opened that
are not enumerated. 1t may be added
that moro than 500, 900, 900 have
been expended in railroads since 1878.
Surely, the South has abundant reasons
to cease longing for slavery days.
From all accounts we can gather, the
place for young, ambitious man is in
the South and not in the West.

that the woman will be expected not

share of official responsibility. In a
country where the highest Office may
be filled by woman the appropriate
ness of electing woman to places Of
less responsibility can hardly be called
in question.

Senator Vance of North Carolina, Is
not only statesman and All orator
but a poet, through whose rhymes
runs the thread of reason. During
the last days of the tariffdiscusslon In
tho senate he read with becoming
gravity a pastoral, which he said was
"The girl with one stocking;
a protective pastoral composed and
arranged for the spinning VIII eel, and
respectfully dedicated to that devoted
friend of protected machinery and
high taxes, the senator from Rhode
Island, Mr.. Aldrich." 1t brought
down both sides of the house and I'M
til better piece of doggerel Is pre-
sented the democratic muse must be
conceded to be in tho ascendancy:--
Fort Worth Gazette.
''Our Mary had little lamb,
And her heart was most intent
To make its wool beyond its worth,
Bring 30 per cent.
But q pauper girl across the sea
Had one small lamb also,
Whose wool for less than half that sum
She d willingly let go.
Another girl who had no sheep
Nor stockings-wool nor flax
But money just enough to buy
pair without the tax
Went to the pauper girl to get
Some wool to shield her feet,
And make her stockings, not Of FAX,
But both Of wool complete.
When Mary sa :, the girls design
She straight began to swear
She'd make her buy both wool and tax,
Or let one leg go bare.
So she cried out: Protect reform!
Let pauper sheep wool free
fit will keep both her legs warm
What will encourage me?
So twas done, and people said
Where e'er that poor girl went,
One leg was warmed with wool and one
With So per cent
Now praise to Mary and her lamb,
Who did this scheme invent,
To clothe One-half o girl In wool
And one-half in per cent.
All honor, too, to Mary's friend,
And all protective acts.
That cheaply clothe the rich in wool
And wrap the poor in tax"

INFLUENZA DESCRIBED.
DR.. Bartholomew Tells of Its Various
Phases and Action.

PHILADELPHIA, December 9th. - The
Medical Ne,us tomorrow will publish an
exhaustive article on influenza ia grippe
by Professor Bartholomew. of the Jefferson
Medical College 1t says, in part, that in
fuenza comes suddenly and goes quickly.
The least robust, at any age, aud women
seem to be the first victims. Large num-
bers are simultaneously attacked. 1t at
tracts general attention, and thus the most
impressionable are seized, the onset being
facilitated by any depressing emotion like
fear or illness. With the first access OF
nasal and facial emotion comes chillness,
followed by feverishness, with pronounced
maaize and, in general, headache, weak
ness and soreness of members, especially OF
the large joints.
With the progress of the case in some
epidemics there is considerable general
weakness, and even a marked depression
ofthe vital powers. When fatal termination
is to occur as rule an extension down
ward into the trachea and bronchih takes
place. Relapses are common, and fire.
queDtly patients pass by easy transition
into chronic bronchitis, asthma, etc.
Sometimes the catarrhal process con-
tributes to chronic diseases of the ear, nose
and throat, and permanently damages those
parts.
