in the South during the last six months
for the manufacture of cotton goods is
record which sufficiently shows the con-
tinued growth of that section in manufac
turing industry. 1t is to be noted, how
ever, that all of these are to produce the
coarser grades of cloth only. The finer
fabrics are not yet attempted to any great
extent in Southern mills, and mainly, it
would seem, because of the lack of skilled
labor.
An automatic Photographic machine
has been invented in England. The
patron, after placing penny in the slot,
takes his stand in front of the lens and
adjusts his position by small looking
glass placed above it. He leans against a
post placed few feet in front of the
camera and in about five seconds the
ringing of bell announces the completion
of his sitting, while forty seconds subse-
quently his photograph is delivered to him
by the machine, requiring only half min
ute's exposure to the sun or lighted
match to dry or finish it. An additional
half penny placed in the slot produces a
frame for the pho tograph.
There are places where filial piety pre-
vails The last issue of the Imperial Pekin
Gazette contains letter from the COVER
nor of Chinese Turkestan, in which he
tenders his resignation of his Office, not on
the ground of any disagreement with head
quarters, or of failure in administration
but solely because he is anxious to stay at
home and to devote his entire time to nurs-
ing his aged grandmother. This, however,
is more than matched by the Emperor OF
Japan, who has just caused six of the
leading journalists of his capital to be SEN
fenced to terms of Imprisonment ranging
from two to four years for having ma
igned his ancestor, the Emperor Emmui
who resigned some six hundred years be
fore the birth of Christ.

The tramp who wrote his name on tn
hotel register because he wanted to ''ar
| rive" once more before he-died is matched
by Boston young man who is employed
in a big retail dry-goods store. He wa
granted vacation. 1t was expected tina
he would HE to the mountains or go to tn
shore. The first morning he was free h
walked through the store leisurely, nod
ding to his comrades behind the counters
but speakink to no one. He then mad
hir exit. The second day he was an hou
later, but he passed in review his toilinI
associates, and then went out. This h
repeated for six days. When he returne,
on Monday he was asked why this strang
behavior. He replied that he had felt fo
long time desire to be able to do as h
pleased in the store, and he had now bee
able to do so; and he added: 'I'm satisie
and ready to go to work again-better sal
isfied than if I had climbed mountain
or bathed in the surf" 1t was positiv
qualification to be a visitor.
