Cucumhers Not NOxiOuA.

Mary people are under the impression
that cucumber is very indigestible, and
when they eat it they do So under pro-
test, and with apprehensions Of possible
dire consequences. How this delusion
can have arisen it is difficult to say, un-
less it be that cucumber is often eaten
with salmon and other indigestible table
friends 1t is not the cucumber, how
ever, but the salmon that sits SO heavily
upon our stomach's throne. Cucumber,
in fact, is very digestible when eaten
properly. 1t can not, indeed. be other
wise when it is remembered that it con-
sistS mainly of water, and that those
parts which are not water are almost
exclusively cells Of very rapid growth.
In eating cucumber it is we'll to cut it
into thin slices, and to masticate them
thoroughly Even the vinegar and the
pepper that are so often added to it are
of service to the digestion if not taken
in excess The cucumber, as every one
knows, belongs to the melon tribe. but
i'm our some what cold country it does
not grow to any very large size, and
therefore it is firmer and looks less di
gestible than its congener, the melon -

SOUTHERN ACTIVITY AND PRO-
GRESS.

The MdnnfaetHrers Record of Oc-
tober 25th says: men
The Southwark movement Of
and money is strikingly shown in the
long special trains filled with Northern
capitalists that are now almost daily
seen Oh all Southern railroads that
reach the great mineral belt of this
section. From Virginia to Alabama
the country is crowded with men of
money from the North, looking for in-
vestments in manufacturing enterprises,
in mineral and timber. lands, in the
development OF new towns and the
building of new railroads. The activity
in all these lines surpasses anything
ever before seen in this country. For
tunatcly the claims so long made by
the Manufacturers Record as to the
resources of the South and to the won-
| derful Industrial future that awaits it
are more than sustained by all who in
| vestlgate fo1 themselves, and all unite
in saying that the half had not been
told. Even the foreign iron and steel
makers who are now in the South ex-
press their amazement at the vastness
of the South's mineral wealth which
far surpasses anything that they had
expected to find. The development
of this wealth is creating new towns
all through the mineral regions, and
hundreds more will be started to be-
come prosperous centers of industrial
life and activity. During the las; ten
days or two weeks many great enter
prises have been projected, and many
more will soon ..be made public. Among
the recent large enterprises reported is
the investment OF S1,ooo,ooo by En-
| glish capitalists ia new town in Ala

THE WAY THE TARIFF WORKS.

The. Republican leaders and news
papers are endeavoring to pull the
wool over the eyes of the people about
the workings of the new tariff laws.
But the people will not be deceived.
The facts that stare them in the face
are too strong. We give another il
lustration OF the workings of the tariff.
Take the item of pearl buttons. S.
Hirsh & Co., in recent letter to the
New York Wo,ka, say this:
. We reported an invoice Of pearl
buttons upon which we paid duty pri-
or to October 6, of S3S2.75. The
duty to- day on that invoice would be
s6,46I,o6. Just figure the percentage
on that and see what fun Mckinly is
having with the poor people who buy
these buttons, in helping to build up
an industry that never existed here,
except in very fine goods used by the
few
Now take shoes, something that
everybody, rich and poor, ,big and lit
tie, must have. H. L. Miller & Son,

Dictated by H. l.. H.
This letter is but a single illustra-
ton of what might be multiplied into
the thousands. In other words, the
Mckinley bill has increased the pri-
ces of what we buy and use. Mr..
James G. Blaine the Republican Secre-
tary of State, is authority for the state
ment "there is not a section or line in
the entire Mckinley.bill that will open
a market for another bushel of wheat
or another barrel of pork" In other
words, it does not increase the price OF
what we sell. We live in commu-
nifty composed most largely OF farm
ing and working classes. They have
heretofore found it difficult to earn in
the sweat of their brows enough to pay
for the absolute necessaries of life. 1t
is not only a wrong, but crime
against them, to increase the price of
what they buy without increaing the
price of what they sell. Mr.. Blaine tells
us what promise the Mckinley bill holds
out to the farmer. Has any working
man received from his employer a

the shoe merchant would suggest that

How Postage Stamps Are Made.

The design of the stamp is engraved on
STEEL and, in printing, plates are used on
which 200 stamps have been engraved. Two
men are kept busy covering these with col
ored inks and passing them to man and
girl who print them, with large rolling
hand presses. Three of these little squads
are employed all the time. After the sheets
OF paper, containing 200 printed stamps,
have dried enough, they are sent into an
other room and gummed. The gum used for
this purpose is made of the powder OF dried
potatoes and other vegetable mixed with
water. After having been again dried, this
time on little racks famed by steam power
for about an hour, they are put between
sheets Of pasteboard and pressed in hydrau-
lie presses capable of applying weight of
1000 tons. The next thing is to cut the
sheets in two, each sheet, when cut, con-
tanning 100 stamps This is done by girl
with a large pair Of shears, cutting by hand
being preferred to that by machinery, which
would destroy too many stamps. They are
then passed to another squad of workers.
who perforate the paper between the
stamps Next they are pressed once more,
and then packed and labeled and slowed
away to be sent to the various Offices when
orde4ed Ii single stamp is torn OF in any
way mutilated. the whole sheet of 100
stamps is burned. Not less than 500,0 900 are
said to be burned every week from this
cause. The greatest care is taken in count
ing the sheets of stamps to guard against
pilfering by the employees; and it is said
that during the past twenty years not a
single sheet has been lost i'll this way.
During the process of manufacturing, the
sheets are counted eleven times.

His Hair Turned Gray.

A printer, well known in Atlanta, had an
experience during the past few days which he
is likely to remember. Like many a better
man he got hard up in Birmingham last
week. He wanted to come to Atlanta and he
crawled into the first vacant stock car he
saw, and as it was night, rolled into one cor
ner and went to sleep. He was awakened in
a little while by lot of mules which were
driven in on him.
'Scared? well, think I was" he says in
telling the story. "But l wanted to come,
and thought | could pacify the mules so
they would let me alone l soon found that
wouldn't work They eyed me suspiciously,
then bit at me and kicked me until began
to realize that there must be some change or
my last days had come. l made up my mind
to ride one of the mules. tried one and was
promptly landed against the top of the car.
Then another, and another, with the same
result. The fourth one was docile, and on

A First Principle of Bridge Buildins.

"A IrlnClple OF
IF one plank would hold up 100 pounds on
the center, then the two planks placed
side by side would hold up 200 pounds, while,
placing the planks one on top of the other,
and mailing them firmly together, they would
hold up 400 pounds. In this way we see that,
in order to increase the strength of the bridge
or beam faster than we increase the amount
of material, the increased amount of material
should go into the depth of the beam and not
into the width of it. This is one Of the first
principles in the resistance of material, that
the strength of beam varies directly as the
width-that is, if we make the beam twice as
wide, it will hold twice as much; and that
the strength varies as the square of the depth
that is, if we make it twice as deep, it will
hold up four times as much. If we make it
three times as deep, it will hold up nine times
as much of a load. So that you can readily
understand that, in order to increase the
strength of the bridge or beam without in
creasing the material in the same proportion,
the increased amount of material should be
put into the depth and not into the width
