ROMANTIC LOVE STORY.

A Congressman Waited for Baby Girl
TO Grow Up.
Congressman Oates Of Alabama, with his
Sc years and only one arm, has romantic
story that surrounds the loss of the other
arm, says the Washington Post. During
the war he served in the Confederate army,
and it was before Richmond that he re-
ceiyed the wounds that neceSsitated the am
putation OF the right arm. AT this time it
was that Oates was obliged to be off on sick
leave while he recovered from his injuries.
He was received into the home of Southern
family and nursed by the eldest daughter.
When he pulled through Oates felt that his
life had not only been saved by her, but
his future happiness was in her hands.
The young officer told his story, but this
young nurse did not favor.his suit-whether
because she thought it was pressed simply
from gratitude or whether she did not return
his affection is not told. Oates wa too weak
to return to his command and between fret
ting over his rejected suit and at the DELAY
in his return to the front was in most uu-
happy ID ood.' One day when more respondent
than ever the mother looked UP and said,
laughingly: Never mind, Captain you Just
wait for s0-and-so," pointing TO the baby in
the cradle she was rocking. You can
have her by and by" The Captain laughed.
The baby began to grow to girlhood, and
Oates was interested in all she did. When
she became of manageable age lie re-
minded her mother of her old promise made
over the baby's cradle. There was no op-
position to the match and the couple are un-
usually happy. This accounts for the diff
ference in age. at which many people have
wondered. Mrs. Oates is pretty woman,
with Southern grace and hospitality, and
devoted to her husband.

French Silks.


The total production of manufactured
silk in the world per annum is estimated at
value of e64, 000,000 and of this at least
e25,000.000 is produced in France. The
French consumption of raw silk in 1890 was
not much under 10,0C0, 900 pounds, the value
of which is reckoned at from el0. 600 to
912,000,000. Taking in the value of wool,
cotton and other fiber in mixed fabrics OF
the silk factories, the total will amount to
about $1,000, 900. The great Importance of
this industry to the wealth and power of
France is evident. About one-eighth of the
raw silk is native-grown, the remainder
imported from Italy and the East. Much
of the amount of homegrown silk depends
on the healthiness of the mulberry forests.
One year when disease attacked the trees
the silk product 1ell to below $4,000
pounds.
France exports silk goods to the value of
about e10000,000. twG-thirds of which are
taken by England and by the United States.
Swiss and German houses arc serious rivals
in point of quantity OF manufactured goods,
but in quality the taste and skill of the
French will long maintain supremacy. The
United States is rapidly increasing its silk
factories. All well-wshers to Italy will de-
sire prosperity for the silk factories there
