Near Patras sarcophagus has been
discovered richly sculptured. The bas
relief represents wild boar hunt, in
which, are seen the huntsmen divided
into two groups, seven of them being
without beard and one bearded. This
last is in the act of stopping boar, run
ming at full speed, and has mis- foot on
the snout. The rest are pressing for
ward to STAY the animal with hatchets
and arrows. The work is highly fin
ished and of the Roman period, but very
probably copied from an original of Hell
lenic workmanship. Inside the sarco-
phagus a skeleton was found Chicago

A breathing Exercise.

To expand the lungs: Go into the open

shoulders, and draw in the air through
the nostrils rs much as possible.
After having thus filled the lungs

the air. When you have thus forced the
arms backward with the chest open,
change the process by which you drew
in your breath till the lungs are emptied.
Go through this process several times a
day and it will enlarge the chest, give
the lungs better play, and serve very
much to ward off consumption.-Chris-

The Southern Monarch.

Out of evil good sometimes
comes, and what appears at first a
curse not unfrequently proves a
blessing. The iute trust, which
threatened disaster to the cotton
planter, has been the direct cause
of putting millions into his pocket,
and bids fair to make for him mil
lions more. This great monopoly
forced the planter to assume the
defensive, to fight against the OPP
preston with such weapons as his
ingenuity could devise, and the
result is far beyond his expecta-
tons. Driven upon his own re-
sources he found in cotton itself
and in the southern forests a sub
stitute for jute, learned that he
was no longer dependent upon
others for a covering for his staple
that he could laugh to scorn all
combinations to defraud him. But
his victory was not limited by the
discovery of a substitute that
might be called into use as a
measure of protection against
greed. He has discovered that
the despised cotton stalks, hitherto
regarded as so much rubbish en-
numbering his fields and which
were annually collected to be burn
ed can with little labor, be trans
formed into bagging equal to the
very best made from jute and sold
for at least one third less than
jute bagging. This not only gives
him cheaper bagging, but opens a
market for the refuse of his fields.
As set forth in The Post dispatches
recently, this discovery was made
by Mr.. William E. jackson of
Georgia. He says that he can
pay g q ton for cotton stalks, fur
nish good bagging for y cents a
yard and reap a fair profit. The
cotton stalk bagging has already
passed beyond the realm of exper-
iment; its practicability has been
fully demonstrated. Doubtless
when the methods OF manufacture
are perfected the quality of the
bagging will be improved and the
cost of production lowered. The
supply of raw material is ample,
It being estimated that the stalks
of one crop viii yield sufficient
bagging to bale two crops. Thus
it will be seen that the system OF
extortion adopted by the iute bag
ging men is likely to prove their
ruin while adding largely to the
wealth of their intended victims.
Now that the fleece, seed and stalk
of the cotton plant are all to be
of wealth to the South, it
only needs that each and all should
be manufactured in their respec-
tive products here to render cotton
indeed the king of the Sunny
Southland.-Houston Post,

! LINZ LIE, NAY H. IO0O
EDITOR NEws.-The fact is
have been from the first moment o.
my arrival in Fort Worth until
arrived here, so thoroughly occu
pied that 1 have had no time fol-
corresponding, but now will say 6
few words.
1t is a grand success. [ an

water fall is pronounced one of the
most attactive features of the Pal,
ace. Our map was also "ten
strike - The ladies of San Sabe
have been highly complimenfed
upon their beautiful work. The
frames for our photographs and
the oil painting of our big springs
are pronounced exquisite, and as
1 predicted there is no work OF
lichens there except ours. 1t is
new to the visitors and attracts
much attention ON that account
as well as on account of the arts
tic taste displayed in the manage
ment of the ornaments.
The map illustrating our water
resources attracts much attention.
Some are inclined to doubt the
truth of the legion inscribed upon
it, which was San Saba, the best
watered county in the State" but
when these doubling Thomases
are induced to examine our map,
the great number of black spots
representing great springs, the
numerous water courses together
with the photographs on the mar
gin, convert them invariably.
Our exhibit Is brought to notice
by an elegantly decorated inscrip-
ton upon a richly tinted. back
ground upon which is written
"San Saba, the land of Springs. -
The sound of falling water will
invariably attract the attention of
passers bye, and when the aya
meets with the falling waters in
t.ha most attractive form which
waters ever assume, the interest in
it becomes irresistible, the visitor
must stop and look.
Whe4 once the attention is
caught and interest excited then
comes the examination and ques-
tioning. This is the opportunity
for the exhibitor. Our fall an
swers perfectly this purpose. 1t
asserts itself. It cannot be ignor-
ed. When once the attention is
caught, we have to show the lar
gest and best whole ears Of corn,
the brightest and best oats the in

in the Spring Palace. These a1e the
articles in which we excel, we

BILE stands unriyaled, our sand
stone is equal to any of its kind,
and in our exhibit is found the
best collection of polished marble
and GRANTEES.
Our iron ore is varied in COM
position and is of the richest kind
1t attracts much attention. OF the
less valuable ores, such as gold,
silver, lead, &c, we have sufficient
to show their existence in the
county.
Our exhibit is first sought out
by artist for illustrated papers and
will be we'll advertised in that di-
rection.
Our pamphlet is the best of its
kind and will do Us vase amount
of good.
In conclusion 1 will say that we
are greatly indebted to Mr.. John

The Louisiana state lottery COM
/ parv has offered the state legisla-
turs now in session at Baton
Rouge, 100000 a year for the
extension of the charter for the
company for twenty-five years, or
$40. 100000 for the full term, the
annual bonus to be divided, as fol-
lows: For the public schools,
S350,OOO a year; for the levees,
IS35O,00O a year; for the drainage
of New Orleans, 100000: for the
charity hospitals at New Orleans
and Shreveport, 100000; for the
insane asylum at Jackson, SIS, 600;
for the deaf and dumb asylum at
Baton Rouge, $4,000. To extend
the charter of the company, an
amendment of the constitution
must be passed by two-thirds
majority, by both branches of the
State legislature, and must then
be submitted to the popular vote
of the next state election, in 1890
and carried by a majority of votes.
Governor Nichols has declared
very emphatically against the
charter, and his message to the
Legislature yesterday reviewed
the subject at length, more than
one-third of the message being
devoted to this question. 1t mo-
nopolizes political attention, and
will occupy the time of the legis-
ture until disposed Of. The fight
in that body promises to be long
and bitter one, entirely free of
party lines, and with the chances
at present in favor of the lottery
company. All the City papers
urge the acceptance of the hill
but a new journal, the Delta, has
made its appearance supporting
the governor in his opposition to
the lottery.
