SOUTHERN PROCESS.

Instructive Statistics Regarding the Con-
dition of Affairs In the South.
The Times-Democrat remarks with
ruth that the census will show, indeed
already shows, the most remarkable
municipal growth in the South that this
country has ever witnessed. Towns
have doubled, trebled and quadrupled,
not in population alone, but in wealth,
business and fine buildings; and in this
respect at least, there is remarkable
contrast between the two sections.
Compared with an increase of 10 per
cent. in Boston and IL per cent. in Gin
cinnati, look at the advance already
noted in Southern cities.

High Rent Prevents Marriage.

A correspondent writing to the Even

our young men do not marry. He lays
it to the fact that wages are too low !
and rent too high" Read what he says,
and then ask yourself If he does not
come near to the true reason why our
young men are inclining more each year
to celibacy:
Working steadily at my trade can
than nine months work year. This
sum is not sufficient to support vito
and pay the positive expenses Of home,
to say nothing of the unexpected bills.
To begin with, no respectfully located
tenement can DO had for less than SIS
month and from that upward. When
the items of provisions, clothing, fuel
sundries and the simplest demands OF
church and society are taken into con-
sideration, the sum is all too small. Yet
S12 week is fair average salary for a
workingman. Granting that the young
woman will be equal to the emergency
and make lido, there is the furnishing OF
the home. No man OF self-respect wants
to start married life in a boarding house.
Heaven forbid! 1t takes a long time to

Remedies for Bee Stings.

The remedies for bee stings are Ms

Prof. A. j. Cook advises In case per-
son Is stung that he should step back 4
little for moment, as the puppent
odor Of the venom is likely TO anger
the bees and Induce further singing.
BY forcing little smoke from the
smoker on to the part stung the odor
will DO obscured. The sting should
be rubbed off at once-not CRASHED at
with the finger nails, as that crowds
more poison into the wound-but
rubbed off. If the pain is troublesome
apply little ammonia. The venom Is
an acid and Is neutralized by an alkali.
A thin solution of saltpetre is advised
by some. Others have used ice.cold
water with good effect, while others
again apply salt and soda mixed and
slightly moistened to the part stung.
Quimby advised, when the sting was
severe enough to cause blotches ON the
skin, camphor taken internally rs well
As applied externally. An important
point Is the removal of the sting.

noise occurred aud a sleepy sentry was
aroused. He aske Mrs. Duvall If
"auybody was sick" Only the
