FIRE IN A BIG FERTILIZER ACToRY.-Cbar-

most of the building aud material of the
Berkley Phosphate company at Ashley juno

chamber building was saved. but most of the
rest Of the properly was destroyed. The
insurance on the plant is $3.50, 900, of VIII ch
amount $4,000 is ou the acid chamber,
which is saved thus leaving SOS, 900 on the
burned property. The actual loss is e-ti-
mattel at between $40, 900 and $50, 900. One
of the steam fire engines from the city was
sent to the assistance of the people there but
arrived too late to render any etfectual help.
The locomotives of both raj roads had a
lively time hauling cotton. Almost the en-
tire distancs from this city to the Junction,
eight miles. is blocked with cars loaded with
cotton, both roads having double tracks a.
most the entire distan'c. Several hundred
cars near the scene of the fire were hurried
ly pulled out Of the way and the contcn's
were saved. The Berkely factory is one Of
largest and mos, successful in Ih' Wei ity.

is the poems staff OF life as well as his

The legend of the image Of Los Rene
dios, the neglected shrine on the road from
Mexico to Toluca, is connected with the
maguey. One Of the soldiers who fol-
lowed Cortes in his retreat on the forlorn
night carried with him an image of the
Virgin and hid it under a maguey plant.
Subsequently an Indian chief found this
image after repeatedly seeing an appari-
tion of the Virgin, and temple with a
magnificent shrine was built on the
sacred ground. Our Lady Of the Rene
dios and the Magueyes was the patroness
of Mexico, and whenever there was Eestil-
ence in the city or drouth in the land
solemn invocations were offered by pro-
cessions of priests at her shrine.-Ne'o

A Fur Auction.

"People who have never attended the
big mid.winter fur auction in London,
says a fur dealer, "can have no idea oI
its magnitude. Buyers from all parts Of
the world-America, China, Australia,
Russia, everywhere-come there to bid
for furs and stay there until they secure
their stock in trade. The winter just
past has been the coolest on the conti-
nent of Europe for fifty years, and furs Of
all sorts have consequently been higher
in price than for many season. For
instance, silver fox, which sold at 800
first.class peit last year, now brings
S147. Iu this sale 900 silver fox skins
were sod, 200 cross fox, 340O blue
fox, 1000 white fox and Sc, 900 from the
common red fox. That will give you an
idea of the mighty work done by the
trappers. -Picayune."

The Needle Does Not Mark True North.

The old saying, "True as the needle
to the pole, is quite misleading, because
three people In five who use it are think
ing of the North Pole, while the fact is
that the termini of the earth's axis are
not colncident with the magnetic poles.
1t was of great importance to navigators
in northern latitudes to determine the
exact position of the north magnetic
pole in order to make the needle per-
fectly trustworthy guide. One day nearly
sixty years ago, while the famous polar
traveller, Sir John Ross, was sledging
over the ice hummocks north of this con-
tinent, he found place on the western
shore of Boothia Felix, where the dip
ping needle wholly lost its directive
power and stood within one minute Of
the vertical. This discovery enabled
Greely, at Lady Franklin Bay, when he
found his needle pointing nearly south
west, to determine the true north by a
few minutes calculation. The position
of the south magnetic pole has also been
approximately determined, and not a
sea captain sails the ocean to-day who is
not greatly indebted to these discoveries.
These magnetic poles slowly move back
and forth across the polar area. They
have probably changed their position
since they were found, and scientific men
while ago were urging the importance
Of sending ont expeditions to relocate
them. Goldthraite's Geographical Aaga-

Varieties of Olives.

There are two varieties Of olives in the
shops-the large queen olives, which have
a large pit and are very nice for stuff
ing; and the little crescent olives, which
have small pit and are generally pre-
ferred for table use. It is necessary,
however, to distinguish between full
grown crescent olive aud the numbers Of
immature olives that are also sold in the
shops. A great many Of the so-called
"baby olives which are sold at attractive
prices are nothing more than half-de-
vcloped fruit. In order to secure fully
developed and perfect favored olive of
the last importation it is necessary to
purchase them from thoroughly trust
worthy grocers. .--Msv York Tribune.

The Father Of Postage Stamps.

Everybody knows that a postage
stamp is viguette which serves to pay
for the forwarding of an article through
the mails, and to avoid their being used
twice, every stamp has to be either an
nulled or Cancelled. No doubt you have
heard the story, for it is an old one, of
the traveller who in 1887 was at a shah
by English inn when the local postman
brought letter for the hostess. She
looked at the envelope a moment, then
asked how much was to be paid for it..
"Two shillings," said the man. "Ah, "
replied she, "that is altogether too
dear; l cannot pay so much" every
well, D." retorted the postman, 81 must
take the letter back to the Office. "
Moved by the scene, the traveller offered
to pay the two shillIngs, but the young
woman would not let him. He asked
the reason, whereupon she said that the
letter in question was from her brother,
but being too poor to pay the tax they
corresponded by means of signs agreed
on, and which were traced on the en-
velope. The traveller was Rowland Hill,
member of the House of Commons, and
the incident caused him to put on his
thinking cap. Not long afterward Par
lament adopted his plau; he was charged
with seeing to the issue of the first post
age stamps that were ever known, and
soon all other countries followed Eng
lands example. Chicago Herald.
