IRON FROM The SKY.

Tho Rnw tsfRforfaI from which tho Ar
toes NIado Their Implements.
When Cortcz had completed tho con-
quest of Mexico, tho Spaniards, among a
great many other peculiar and extraodi-
nary Observations which they mado in
that remarkable country wore particu-
larly struck and puzzled by ono fact
They noticed that tho Aztccs possessed
certain implements. such as knives dag
gers, etc., made OF iron, but 1t seemed
that only tho most distinguishcd of;the
natives possessed such, that iron was q
great rarity, and was priced higher than
gold. - ay%
At first tho Spaniards believed that
the Aztecs extracted tho metal in some
crude fashion from it's ore, which
abounded in many parts of tho country,
, but they soon asccrtaincd that this was
not tho case. They found that not 4
single smelling furnace existed in tho
empire, and their surprise was not small
when they learned that tho Aztccs wero
totally unacquainted with any method
Of extracting tho iron from the orc,
which indeed they had never suspected
of any kinship with tho highly valued
metal.
1Ho question: whence JnO AZtrcS naQ
procured tho littlo iron they possessed
became pcrplexing problem to tho
Spaniards, a problem which they wore
never ablo to solve. The natives do not
seem to have enlightened them much
on tho subject, for when asked they
mystcriously pointed to the sky and in
dictated that they obtained their iron
from the regions above. Such asser-,
lions no doubt tho Spaniards received
with an incrcdulous smile, and they con-
cludcd that tho Aztccs received it by
way OF traffic with somo other perhaps
moro civilized nation, which they sus-
pcctcd TO exist and kept looking for,
north and south, for more than hun
drcd years.
1t was left to modern science TO I'M
ravcl tho mystery. Tho Aztocs were
quito correct The iron OF which thoy
had mado thcir implements was not
fashioned from materials of, this tor.
rcstrial globe, but had come to them
from tho unknown regions OF space.
Their iron WINS, in fact, OF metcorio
origin. like that OF tho Mayas of Yucca
tan and tho lnoas Of Peru, of which
many weapons are still preserved in col.
lections, -.

The Farmers Alliance was organ
lied for agricultural purposes; at
least q large majority of the farmers
OF Alabama when they joined thesA.
bance belieyedit existed for the ptr..
pose Of building npStho agricultural
interest, and nothing else, but In
stead of being directed for this lpnr.
pose, we have permitted a few liar
ROW minded men and Office seekers
to direct it for purposes other than
agriculture, and'itGis our duty to
take the organization out from under
the influence of this class of men and
place it in charge of men who have
an agricultural interest, whose adj
ministration will subserve the pur.
pose of the organization. We need
broad guage, progressive mon rs
leaders, who will command tho re.
spect of every member of the Ali.
ance and all classes in Alabama. We
do not want men aus leaders who are
going to run the Alliance for tho pur
poseo of boosting themselves into Of
flee.
There aro plenty of competent mon
In the Alliance to fill all the offices in
tho Alliance that do not desiro any
political office, and this class of men
should be placed in charge of the
organization. When an officer OF the
State Alliance becomes candidate
Tor political Office, he should resign
his Office in order that it could not
be charged that he was using his Of
ficial position for political prefer
meut.
Now, we know that this is taking
very advanced ground, but we be-
lieva the good of the order requires
this to be- done and we hold that the
personal or political interest Of any
member should not stand in tho way
OF tho success of the Alliance. The
Alliance should not be used or di
rected i'll the interest of any man for
anything, but for theswhole organiza-
ton; and no member should be per
mittcd to usc it for private gain or
political preferment, and wien this
becomes the rule of the order we will
rid the organization of that class of
mon who are ill the Alliance for pri
vato gain and political aggrandize

BETTER REPORTS.
The Weather Generally More Favorable for
Growing Crops.

CHICAGO. Ill, June 2-The Farmers
Review will say: Late reports from crop
correspondents indicate that an increased
temperature and diminished rain fall have
had a favorable effect upon the condition
of winter wheat in certain sections In
many counties in Illinois and Ohio consid-
cradle improvement has taken place dur
ing the past week. Missouri reports show
a slight decline.
The condition of spring wheat remains
practically unchanged in Iowa, Wisconsin
and South Dakota. Correspondents report
improvement in Minnesota and correspond
ing decline in Nebraska, drouth being re-
spOnsible in the Later states Concerning
corn it is shown that in Minnesota, Dakota,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio but a small
portion of the crop is up. in Illinois.
Indiana, Missouri and Kentucky early
paintings are above ground but the
condition is considerably below the aver
age owing to cold wet weather in MAY.
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska would prObab-
ly have equal to the usual average in this
season had it not been for dry weather,
which until a recent date has retarded
growth. We summarize as follows re-
ports received relative to the condition of
corn: Illinois 81, Indiana IS, Missouri S5,

Women Are Slow Paying Bills.

There is a lack of skilled dressmakers in
this country and loose system of paying
tradespeople, except possibly in the case Of
large shops who collect their bills monthly.
Fashionable dressmakeEs and milliners
complain that women Of great wealth are
often 80 slow in paying their sea-
sons bills that they lose the discount
allowed them at all wholesale houses for
payment within a certain number Of
months. When the husband is not over
indolgent, and the wife has no purse of her
own, many months may eiapse before the
workwomsn obtains her earnings. It is
not strange that such dilatory customers
are charged more than those who make
prompt payments the rule.-New York
