STILL ADVANCING.

While the South, under the stimulus
of renewed energy and capital, is show
ing q wonderful wealth IN mineral re-
sources, her claims as the creates!
agricultural section Of the country are
not abating in the slightest degree. Be-
sides supply Of timber which is prac-
tically inexhaustible, her soil is capable
of producing everything that can be
grown in the temperate zone, and in
some localities where tho lands have
been rendered less fertile by constant
cultivation, only judicieus applicG-
ton of fertilizers is needed to restore
them 10 their pristine yigor. The divis-
ion of the large farms into small ones
and their cultivation by thrifty aud
energetic owners, would soon accom-
plish this result, and the extensive de-
posts of mari and phosphates will facil-
itata tie work Of enriching the land to
q wonderful extent in conjunction with
judicious management.
\ The phosphates in South Carolina
have proven a wonderful source OF
wealth to that state and OF great bcr-
eft to the worn out lands in the South.
Recent discoveries Of rich deposits Of
these same fsrtilizing materials in
Florida greatly evershadow those OF
South Carolina, both as to their extent
and prospective valve. Truly, this is

THE TRUE BASIS OF CHARACTER.
y Agreat deal is said in newspapers,
"a this time every year, about good
resolutions and the chances Of keeping
than. All Of this may be we'll enough;
Z but those who by early train
ing and temperament are stronger
in their moral makeup than
their less fortunate fellows, ought
!. 10 pass JUDGMENT on their weaknesses
and foibles with that charity which is
the cornerstone of the christian fabric.
Besides, we should remember that cir
cumstances alter cases, and that early
training and environment are the most
potsnt factors in the formation of char
actsr. Many who have been subjects
of ridicule for weaknesses hard to over
aome, have risen superior to their sur
roundings and proven themselves men
lin cyerything that constitutes the true
usaning ofths word, while others who
glorisd in their 6rmness and strength
of character, have succumbed like
broken reeds before the first blasts Of
sdysrsity. In himself, man is nothing;
but, if pure intentions and reliance
;cn a higher power are the ground works
nc his character, it is built on founda-
yt;on hard iaased to shake.

How Wealth Is Transported.

Only the other day the vault keeper sent
over to the treasury little package that
you could have put comfortably into a
hand bag and carried away containing
100000 in $4,000 certificates for legal
tender notes. In making such transpor-
tation of wealth. tho sheets of money are
put into a wooden lock box and showed
aboard huge chilled steel safe on wheels,
which conveys the millions safely through
the streets. The upper part OF the big
vault is lined with cuphoards, each one of
which bears the name at state The cup
boards are receptaoles for the national
bank notes of the various states The
notes and certificates reach the treasury in
sheets of fouF-0r three in the case of the
bigger gold certifcates-and are there cut
apart and stamped with the treasury seal.
When the treasury wants money it simply
makes requisition upon the vault keeper
OF the bureau of engraving and printing
for whateVerit it needs.-W Washington Star

A witty CabmRn.

Among the oabmen at the city hall plaza
is one who has a reputation for wit among
his fellow cabsies. His name, think, is
Cornell, He had as q customer the other
night certsan literary gentleman who is
distinguished by the elegance of his raj
nent as well as the eestiiness of che UNI
breilas he carries. OF this literary swell
one of his iatiIaates says ''he spends three
feurths of his tine in selecting clothes
and the other fourth in buying um breIlas :"
One vet night he sperted a particularly
load umbrella, and probably fearing that
tho heavy shower might injure it he hired
cab to take him home. Arriving there
the cabman demanded 81 from him
What do you mean by oVerchargtng
me-" said the literary swell as he hoisted
the umbrella. 'Do you know who ann"
Il don't care If you were the umbrella,
I'll have my fare, F." said the coachman, and
he got it.-Brooklyn Eagle.

He came out of the house, boarded the
car and looked about with the good hu-
mored air of a man who has just finished
a satisfactory breakfast. His eyes rested
on the feet Of man opposite. and he con-
tinued to look at them with half amused
expression as he chewed his toothpick.
Finally the other passenger left the car,
and he of the tOothpick turned to bis
neighbor:
Did you notice the great blotch of dried
mud on that gentlsman's shoe" he asked.

IRON INDUSTRY.
Its Phenomenal Growth in the South in
Ten Years,

WASHINGTON, August 21-The superin-
tendent OF census has just issued his
bulletin on the production of pig-iron in
the United States during the year ended
June 80, 1890. In this bulletin the super
intendent says: ''The production of pig
iron, including Bessemer, during the year
named aggregated 9,579, 779 tons (of 1000
pounds to the tom as compared with
3, ,7S1 021 tons produced during the census
year of $780, and 2,052, ,S2l tons during the
census year of 1870.
1T will be gratifying to notice the great
strides which the southern states have
made in the manufacture of pig-iron since
1880 the total production in that year be-
ing $50, 436 tons, as against l, 1,7S0909 tons in
1890. The development of the manufacture
of plg-irOn in the United States during the
ten years from 1880 to 1890 has been phen-
omenal, and at the present rate of increase
In production this country is destined soon
to become the leading producer of pig-irOn
IN the world, possibly reaching this dis
tinction in the calendar year 1890"
In point Of production, Pennsylvania
stands first, Ohio second, Alabama third,
Illinois fourth, New York fifth. Virginia
sixth and Tennessee seventh. The super
intendent calls particular attention TO the
rapid development of the blast furnace in
duStry of the southern states as one Of the
most noticeable features in the growth of
the manufacture of pig iron in this cOun-
try. In the western states which produce
iron there has been a large increase in pro-

ThreA LittIn Words.

With the three little words, why"
"how," what" it is quite possible for
some blockhesd to puzzle philosopher.
why does the magnetic needle point al
ways to the northF" How was the uni
verse nade'" What is hght?" Here are
three questions that any fool may ask, yet
that all the wisdom in the world cannot
answer. There are hundreds Of other
queries rs simple and as likely to suggest
themselves to the inquisitive to which SCI
ence can make ne satisfactory reply. On
the ether hand, positive philosophy, his
tory, the mechanic arts and other practical
branches of human knowledge afford con-
elusive responses to a vast number of i'm

All that it IS necessary for maa to know
he can learn from these sources, and educa-
ton in its best sense consists in the broad
cast diffusion Of the information they
afford, in its simplest, clearest form.
Europeans say that we are an over curious
people-that we examine and cross-eIanaine
strangers about matters with which we
have ne concern. That's a mistake. Every
thing in the way of information that any
human being is willing to impart concerns

ton do not choose to answer, or cannot

Still another textile material bids fair to
rival jute. This time it is the pineapple
fiber, and Mr.. r. BIechynden, of Cal
cutta, is attempting to awaken interest to
the great ecopornic value Of this product.
The pineapple has long been cultivated for
its fiber in India, while it IS manufactured
into cloth in the Philippines and woven
into linen in China, But more recent in
vestigations show that when subjected to
the process of bleaching the fiber becomes
plant enough to be spun like fax and by
the same machinery. The fiber can be sub
divided into threads OF such delicacy SIS to
be barely perceptible and yet sufficiently
strong for any purpose.-New York Tele-

The typewriter is now such universally
employed machine that it is not surprising
that it should have suggested other instru-
ments of similar character. One OF these Is
a shorthand typewriter, which has been III
vented by MIR. q. h. Anderson, of Boston,
and by means of which an expert operator
can easily take down the words Of q public
speaker as rapidly as they are uttered. Af-
ter five or six weeks practice an intelli-
gent person can gain a speed OF 100 words
per minute, at least SO says the inventor.
And this would not seem to be an extrava-
CANT estimate when we are told that about
go words can be printed by this instru-
ment with the same number of strokes
which will print only fifty words on the Or
dinary typewriter. Theinstrument is much
simpler than its prototype, for it deals
only with the principal letters of the alpha
bet, others being represented by COM
pounds of them. The signs are impressed
upon moving tape, as in so many print
ing telegraphic machines now in use.-New
