According to the Manyaeturers' Record, s'Southecn cotton mills and cot ton seed oil mills are enjoying season of much prosperity and yielding large profits to their owners, while many new mills are going up in all directions. In the woodworking interests there Is great activity and no complaint of lack of profits. Rallreads in the South are doing better than in any other section, and the volume of their traffic is rapidly increasing with the development oi manufactures. Surveying the whole field of industrial enterprise, the South is prosperous and progressing, with brilliant prospects for the balance of the year. The agricultural interests gener- ally are in fairly good financial condi- tion, better than for many years, and another season of large crops would bring an immense amount of surplus money into the hands of the progressive farmers. Early crops promise well, and whether the yield of cotton should be large or small, it would bring large revenue to tho farmers"

The San Francisco Chroniclss "Fire Tables for iSS9," contains many sug- gcstive facts and figures Last year we had Tn this country 16, 019 fires, destroy ing Ill, coo, 900 worth of property, q decrease of BIT fires and $9, 900, 900 con- parcd with tho record of the preced- ing year. In the south the loss of prop erty was sl6, 900, 900, falling of ss,- GOO, 900 compared with 1887. Most oi the fires in Georgia last year were sup posed to be due to incendiarism. The classes of property that suffered most werc gin houses and dwellings, fifty-eight of the former and 225 of the latter hay. ing been burned. Tho fires in the dwellings, as rule, arc credited to dc fective fucs- One cannot glance ovel these statistics without coming to the conclusion that the best way to decreast the number of fires would be to guard more vigilantly against indendiarics, anG have a system of building inspection that would promptly expose and con demn defective flues- A little none, and little carc spent in prevention youA be good investment

Making Wood Fireproof.

If this could bc cheaply and effectu- ally done therc are few improvements which would be more largely conducive toSthe welfare of mankind, says writer in the Safety Talue. The following paragraph, therefore, which has been lately in circulation, may be fairly pro- nounced ''important if true, and inter- esting at any rate."
 It Is stated that Now Englander has recently discovered cheap method of disso!ving zinc by combining it with hydrogen and producing a solution called zinc water. This liquid, if ap- piled to certain woods, notably white wood, makes it absolutely fireproof, and at a low cost. MT. Edward Atkinson, the Boston economist, in speaking of it at Cornell University, says he regards this discovery as one of the most im- portant of the ago, and one that will surely rcvolutionize fire insurance, as we'll as immensely decrease the losses by fire. The invention is kept secret for the present. Only one foreigner, Sir Lyon P Payfair, the English scientist, knows of it. He corroborates all that is claimed for the invention, and says that the inventor Is a bungling chemist, but that he has faculty of b.undering into the choicest secrets of natures lab oratory. As soon as patents are per footed aud capital interested, zinc water will become an article of commerce.

My Kingdom and Ny Queen.

My kingdom has no dazzling throne, No palace grand upon it. Yet 'tis as bright as e'er was known, Or sung in loyal sonnet. I've travelled cast, ye travelled west Mid scenes of wealth and splendor, But this one spot love the best
 With all its joys so tender; No lace so dear I've ever seen, For pace reigns tere and Love is queen. Two subjects in my kingdom dwell; One has an eye of azure, And smiles upon her fair face toll
 Of pure and perfect pleasure; And one has hair of raven hue
 And eyes of hazel beauty, And wh1teer he may strive to do He always does his duty. And faithful they have ever been To her who is my household queen. And as life yields me newer joy And hope divine and human, I see one now no more boy
 And one almost a woman. The bright days come, the bright days go And each brings some new pieasure And no spot on the earth know Is richer with heart-treasure. Nor happier subjects neer were seen Than in my home where Love is queen By no high-sounding royal name Or title they address her, As cheerily, their eyes aflame
 With love, they kiss and bless her' But with voice of gentle tone, Which joy gives to each other, They call her by one name alone, The hallowed name of mother. A name the sweetest known 10 man Since time and love their course began.

Origin of 0. K.

Moses Folsom of Port Townsend sends the following sketch of the origin of the use of the letters 70. K." which, he states, was furnished him personally by James Parton:
 While at Nashville in search of mate- rial for his history, Mir. Parton found among the records of the court of which General Jackson had been judge great many legal documents endorsed 70. R. 7" which meant "Order recorded" but often so scrawlingly written that one could easily read it as O. K. If '.Major Downing noticed a bundle of papers thus marked upon President Jackson's s table, documents, perhaps, from his former court, in which ho still had in- terest it is very easy to see how pun ster could imagine it to be 70. R." or s'oll korrect"
 No doubt Seba Smith, who wrote un- der the nom dc plume of sMajor Jack DOWuAu uetO AuCA tO uO WILL CIcdt~ ing the impression that President Jack son was unletterel and illiterate, where as many existing personal letters, military reports, court opinions and state papers show to the contrary. He lived before the day of stenographers and typewriters, and yet carried on q voluminous correspondence. Hundreds of his personal letters to old soldier friends are still preserved as heirlooms in the south, and his handiwork is numerous in Washington. He was evi- dently rapid renman, and made greater use of capital letters than is the present custom, but misspelled words and stumbling sentences were few anc far between. Oregonian.

The Cliffs of the Hereafter.

When we scale the highest mountain Of our holiest thought in prayer, Thinner grows the veil between us And the souls that overlean us From the cliffs of the hereafter Who keep us in closest cire On the cliffs of the hereafter Seraphim in glory throng, And each yearning heavenward tending, Is an angel reascending
 That walked with us along, For the cliffs of the hereafter To the Prince of Peace belong. Have you strayed at sunsets hour By the anthem-singing sea Without noting with what power He creates eternally Pictures of the hereafter?
 Iris no mirage that ye seei On the cliffs of the hereafter
 Garments threaded dark with doubt Woven at the loom of living, Wen be utterly without; But though naked He will clothe us In the garb of truth about. From the cliffs of the hereafter Back and forth the angels go, All unseen yet seeing ever
 Valley dwellers here below, Who but sight their radiant raimens When their dreams are white as snow.

He is wealthy, and five years ago had an only daughter, Estellc, who at 16 cloped with a handsome brakeman named James O'Briea. The girl wished to be forgiven, but 6anderson turned her out. Her husband was soon killed in an accident, and she supported hcr- self as governcss. Sho recently driftcd to Los Angeles, but lost her position and began to make personal canvass of houses for work.

Odd Kinds of Leather.

It has been demonstrated that all sorts of skins may be tanned. Beasts, birds, fishes and reptiles have been alike brought to the tan yard, and the prices of their skins are regularly quoted in the price current of the Shoo and Leather Reporter. Alligator skins have long been favorite material for the manu- facture of pocketbooks and satchels. The high price which the first product commanded soon induced manufacturers to produce limitations. These arc merely embossed leather. The peculiar scaly nature of the alligator's hide is success fully initiated by means of steel dis, which leave a durable impression upon the leather, so perfect resemblance to the genuine alligator skin that only ex- perts can tell the difference. The same process is used to initiate other fancy skins, SO that there is no novelty that is not initiated within three months of it's
 
 were first put on the market in 1876.
 Kangaroo skins have only been on tho market about three years. The skin of the porpoise has lately been used for shoes, and is we'll considered because of its fine grain, making it waterproof. It resembles a goat skin. The skin of the seal has also been made into leather, and sells for about $40 dozen skins.
 One of the latest novelties is rattle- snake leather, which is used chiefly for making pocke etbooks. The skin of tho monkey has also been tanned and used for making pocketbooks. Bear skins have long been used with the hair on for caps and coats, and the hides have also been used for leather. Of course these novelties are not made in large quantities, and are mostly used for fancy trade. During the past few years tho hides of horses have been successfully tanned and put upon the market as Q standard article of leather.
 American kid is now taking Q prom inent place in the leather market, and is even preferred to French kid by many manufacturers, who find it quite as soft, p!iable and durable, and much cheaper. It is declared that American kid at twenty five cents foot is equal to French kid at forty cents. Pig skins are yet in demand for saddles.

Tho Farmers Breakfast.

Breakfast should be cooked quickly and served promptly. Therein lies suc- cess in quality. Tho farmer should build tho fire for he can do so and let it havo time to heat the stove while his wife or the cook is dressing. Tho bill of fare should be simple, wholesome, substantial, and be of kind quickly prepared, such as any one of the follow ing:
 Stcwcd mackcrcl or whitefsh, French fried potatoes, hot corn pone (breakfast bread), coffee or hot milk.
 Fried breakfast bacon and boiled eggs, potatoes stewcd in milk, fried corn mush, coffee.
 Fried ham and eggs, oat meal mush, bread and butter, coffee and milk.
 The bill of faro for breakfast should in every case be decided upon the day before, and the material for it prepared and put at hand, so that no timo may be lost in the morning. It is just a easy to grind coffee, slico and prepare meat, and have the vegetables ready to- day, as it will bc tomorrow, and strength and time will be saved in tho morning. It is not the cooking, but tho preparing to cook, which keeps the break fast lato and puts tho 'lord of the manor" out of patience. When wc go to cook ws ought to cook. Get q good fire and got everything on the fire at once. Tho meal is then ready to go on tho tablo altogether, so that no part of it is spoiled by waiting for tho rest of it to be cooked. If breakfast becomes cold waiting for s'me lord" to como in and cat it we havo nothing to say, and neither has John if ho is gentleman. If he is q gentleman he will probably remark in such caso, "My dcar, I s1 sorry, 6sc "-Liss Stoek Josr1al

What tho Blind Learned,


 At the recent anniversary exercises oi the New York Institution for the Blind at Ninth avenue and Thirtyfourth street Q class of Q dozen bind pupils gave a remarkable exhibition of calis- thenic exercises, in which several hun- dred movements were made in concert, with no guide to the memory but mo. notonous music. All the pupils but one went through the exercises without mis. take. The exception was little girl who got one movement behind all the time, to the great amusement of tho spectators. Of course the child was un. cons cious of the stir she was creating. One of tho teachers saw her dilemma, and started her afresh, an1 then she went on keeping time with the others. The incident served to illustrate in a striking manner how difficult is tho task of teaching class of blind pupils to work thus together.
 This wonderful training of tho mem- ory is shown in other departments of in- struction. In music the pupils must read with their fingers, and memorize in this way each musical composition that they play. In taskct making they must distinguish the colors of woods by the various degrees of roughness that the ages imrart to the wood. In sewing they must remember what they have sewed.
 The institution is open for visitors every Wednesday-the morning is the best time to go-and the 250 inmates may be seen at actual work. The in- strumental music, especially on organ and piano, taught by Superintendent Waits system of point musical notation, and the vocal music taught by the same system always are interesting. The in. stitution has received at various times very considerable gifts from wealthy families of the city. The institution receives $250 year from the State fol each pupil. It expends about $1O0, 900 year, and has about 1925, 900 of in vested funds besides extensive buildingt and grounds.
 The course of education comprises. a kindergarten, common English educa- tion, music, cane seating, mattress mak- ing, piano tuning, sewing, knitting, fancy needlework, and physical training. No intelligent person can witness the proficiency of these blind people with out the reflection that when they leave the school they are even better equipped to battle with life and to earn their daily bread, than many pupils who have their eyesight and have received an ordinary common school education.

All the flags now doing duty as en- signs and union jacks on board the ships of the United States navy will be called in this year, and new ones, having forty-two white stars on the blue union in the upper left-hand corner, will fly from the masthead or gaff end instead of thoso that had thirty-eight stars. As there some 235 vessels under control of the United States government, at least that number of flags has to be supplied, and all the work is being done in the rigging loft of the navigation building at the Brooklyn navy yard.

Babies of the World.

It has been computed that between thirty-six millions and thirty seven mil lions of babies are born into the world each year. The rate of production is, therefore, about seventy a minute, or, rather, more than ono for every beat of the clock. With the one- a. minute cal culation every reader is familiar, but it Is not every one who stops to calcu- late what this means when it comes to Q years supply, says the Leeds Mercury. And it will probably startle good many persons to find, on the authority of a writer in the hospital that could the infants of year be ranged in line in cradles seven deep they would go round the globe. We have the ingenious con clusion also that supposing the little ones to grow up and tho sexes to be about equally divided, we should have an ar- my hundred times as large as the forces of the British empire, with wife in addition to every soldier. The same writer looks at the matter in 6 still moro picturesque light. He imagines the babies being carried past given point in their mothers charge, one by one, and the procession being kept up continuously night and day, until the last conner in the twelvemonth has passed by, A sufficiently liberal rate of speed Is allowed, but even with these tabies-in- arms going past twenty minute, the reviewing officer would only have seen asixth part of the infantine host file onward by the time he had been year at his post. In other words, the babe that had to be carried when the work began would be able to waddle onward itself when a mere frac- tlon of its comrades had reached the saiuting post; and when the years sup ply of babies was tapering to close, there would be rear guard not of in- fants, but of romping boys and girls. They would have passed, in fact, out of the maternal arms into the hands of the school teacher. Every moment of nearly seven years would be required to complete this grand parade of those lit- tie ones that in the course of twelve month begin to play their part in tho first age of man.

There is mistaken impression, state, the St. Louis Stdr-Sdying, that money sent through the mai:s is safe, but tho nine cases out of ten, when a dishonest clerk or carrier is finally rounded up, that it seems his recu.ations have been going on for months and sometime, years. This is somewhat of 8 reflection upon the system of surveillance that prevails in the postal department, ua- der which it is assumed that crime would be nipped in the bud.

ITracre is charity school for Italian.

There is charity school for Italians in New York city, partly supported by contributions from tho Italian Govern ment. It is al anomalous state of things, comments the Boston Cuuicator, when foreign nation, and monarchy at that, undertake to educate the future citizens of this republic. It is not cred itable to the school authorities of New York city that they do not provide the necessary accommodations for the school ing of all the children of the metropolis. That is the reason and the only reason for charity schools anywhere. The state can and should educate its citi- zens. It can do this work better as we'll as cheaper than private effort can do it. There is scarcely anything mors demoralizing than to receive charity from any source. School children should never be called or be charity scholars
 They may be dependent otherwise but the public owes to them the edu tation that it gives.
