Industries Don't Grow In A Day.

To engage in tin-plate manufacture i'm the
u. S., with complete plant that shall in
clude hot rolls and cold rolls for the manu-
facture of black plate-and that is the truly
American tin-plate plants matter of in
vesting $3.50, 900 and upward, all the way
along to million. Yet the opponents of
native tin-plate manufacture find occasion
for cavil in the fact that more millions have
not gone into the new industry in its first
twelvemonth, and that under the shadow of
National election. The April report of
Special Treasury Agent Ira Aver showed an
estimated investment of SO, 103.00 IN tin
plate plants in the u. s. That sum has
been considerably increased in the past four
months, and if merely the transfers to this
side of Welsh capital materialize according
to promise, there will be doubling of Col.
Ayers figures by the time another report is
sues from his Office.
The statement is made, with annihilating
emphasis, that only 2 per cent of the annual
home consumption of tin and terne plates
was manufactured In the u. S. the past
year. But these mnimizers of home achieve
ment omit to state the production for the
last quarter of the fiscal year ending June
80, '92, was at the rate of per cent. of the
total consumption. If the same ratio of in
crease Is kept up In the next year there will
be chapter to write by another June that
will quite Outshine the steel rail record

Eugene Fields Wife,

Mrs. Eugene Field is always spoken of
as little woman, but as matter of
fact she is somewhat above the medium
height and fully up to the medium
weight. Her head is rather small and
her hands and feet extremely so, and
somehow she gives the impression of
ittleness. She has soft brown hair and
eyes-velvet eyes, her husband calls
them-and complexion as clear and
fair as a child's. She is the mother of
six children, three of whom live to re-
mind her that in spite of her youthful
appearance time is feeting. Her eldest
is daughter of fifteen, already taller
than her mother. She is the Mary
French Field to whom Mr.. Fields "Lit-
tie Book of Profitable Tales" is dedicated.
The other two are boys, Eugene, aged
twelve, and Frederic, aged ten. The
latter is the baby of the family. 1t was
to him that Mr.. Field addressed his
lines ''To Usurper," written five or six
years ago.-John Ballantyne in Ladies'
Home journal.

THE LOCKED DOOR.

Two friends once closed between them. mu-
tually,
A door with double locks, one on each side;
With separate keys, fashioned with cunning
art.
Sure of himself, strong in fresh wounded pride,
Each, for his own side only, held the key.
And thus for weary weeks they dwelt apart,
Till one, at last, whose dropping tears had
drowned
The fire of wrath that in his bosom burned,
Full of forgiveness, softly stole and turned
Tho key; then sought to opc the door, but
found
The other lock still fast, still locked the door!
Then the old anger leaped to sudden flame,
And, laying on his friends hard heart the
blame,
He shot again the bolt and turned once more
To nurse, in bitterness, the reopened wound.
That night the other thought of olden days,
And melted in the memory; they seemed
So nearer than arrangements later hours,
That of the quarrel he thought he must have
dreamed,
And so unlocked the door; yet all his powers
Failed still to shake it. Then he muttered,
Fool,
To think that stubborn churl would e'er re-
pent!'
And socketward again the bolt he sent.
And thus before the first friends wrath could
cool,
The others heart grew hard again and kept
The bar between them while they walked or
slept.
But one calm eve both waken from dream
OF what has been, so clear rforthshadowing, too,
The golden prophecy of what may be:
Each rises, and in the moonlight's softened
CLEAN,
Resolves to try again all he can do.
Once more before the barrier he stands;
And as, again, slowly each iron key
Rasps in the rusted wards, an answering sound
Comes from the other side. The great door
flies
Open and leaves the old friends, newly found,
Lovingly looking in each others eyes,
With reunited hearts and firm clasped hands.

The intestines consist of two princi-
pal parts, the small and the large. The
small intestine extends, in sort of coil,
from the stomach to the right side of
the lower part of the abdomen. The
large intestine, into which the other
opens through a narrow slit, extends
from this point to the upper part of the
abdomen, and then crosses over and de-
scends on the left side. 1t is called the
colon.
From the lowest part of the ascending
colon projects a hollow, worm shaped
appendage few inches long, with di-
ameter about the size of a lead pencil.
This is known as the vermiform ap-
pendix. Fecal matter and occasionally
a seed may find its way into the ap-
pendix, and cause it to become infamed.
The Inflammation is appendicitis. It
tends to form an abscess, which breaks
generally into the abdomen, but some
times into the liver, the bladder, the
chest or the veins. When it breaks into
the abdomen it gives rise to that pain
full and dangerous disease, pezitonitis.

Care in Clothing.

Animal heat, which is another term
for vitality, is readily parted with in
early life, so that every effort should be
made to conserve it, particularly in fee
BILE children. To this end the skin must
always be kept warm by being COM
pletely covered with fannels. In order
to be prepared for the changing condi-
tions of our variable climate, it is well
to have three sets of fannels, the very
thick, medium weight and light weight,
or gauze, adapted respectively for win
ter, spring and fall, and summer. 1t is
almost as weakening to be enveloped in
too thick flannel ON warm day, as l
have frequently seen in dispensary serv-
ice, as to suffer from chilling. No mat
ter how hot the weather, however, it is
not proper to have linen or muslin in
contact with the child's skin to the ex-
clusion of very light flannel.
Weak children are very liable to suf-
fer from cold hands and feet.-Dr. Henry

WAYS OF THE HEATHEN.
How Cinnamon Change Their Costumes

How Cinnamon Change Their Costumes
When Hired as Interpreters.
When Chinaman acquires thor
ough knowledge of the English language
his services become almost indispensa-
BILE to the government authorities as an
interpreter, and he receives liberal COM
pensation for his labor.
There are two or three Mongolians in
this city who do large business in this
line, and are very frequently employed
where their brother countrymen are
charged with opium smuggling OF even
with trying to smuggle themselves
across the Canadian border.
A short time ago I was present at a
hearing before Commissioner Shields in
the case of young Chinaman who had
been arrested while stealing across from
Canada in the northwestern part of the
state. The testimony in this city was
being given by Chinaman who claimed
to be the father of the arrested man. In
order to take this testimony it was nee
essary to employ an interpreter. The
government officials not only had their
English talking Chinaman present as
the recognized interpreter, but another
and equally as well English talking
Cinnamon sat near by, whose duty it
was to keep the officials informed as to
the fullness and correctness of the inter-
pretations.
The Chinaman who officiated as the
official interpreter was rather good
looking Mongolian, with well trimmed
hair, standing collar and well fitting
American clothing. In one hand he held
a new pair of tan colored kid gloves,
while his derby hat hung on his right
knee as it crossed the left leg. He was
a natty fellow and evidently one who
was making success of life.
While this fellow was translating the
''gle, CLAW, mon swon, ding dong ding"
as it sounded to my uninitiated ears in
the rising and falling infections of the
witness, one of the government officers
took a seat beside me and called my at
tention more particularly to the inter
prefer.
''Say," said the official, syo' ought to
see that fellow up in his Mott street
store. Yo' wouldn't know him."
''Why?" l asked,
"Because he don't wear them clothes
nor that hair when he's among his own
people. That is only his interpreting
get up He keeps a grocery store, but
he talks English splendidly, and so we
use him great deal and have to pay
him well. When he's attending to his
grocery store he's full fedged Chinee,
and make no mistake, and swishes one
of the dandiest cues in the settlement"
"But you don't mean to say that's a
wig he is wearing?" said as l looked
at the Sticky brushed hair that gave no
indications of hiding wound up cue.
''That's just what it is, and one of the
finest ever worn, too. See how it fits
his 'noddIep Why, it's perfect. Just
as soon as we employ him he throws
aside his tunic and all other Chinese
fixins and makes up as you see him.
Oh! he's q Jim Dandy now. He's a
good interpreter, but the other fellow
here is just as good, and he let's us know
whether we're getting all that's said and
true. There's nothin like protection. -

Nine times out of ten the buzzing or
singing noises that are SO frequently
heard are outside of the piano. 1t may
be the mica in the stove, or hanging
lamp near by, or an easel on the piano,
or a score of other things whose key
notes vibrate in sympathy with the tones
of the instrument. In the horizontal
piano small articles such as pins, beads,
etc., frequently find their way into the
sounding board and cause great annoy

How City Women Earn a Living.

New York woMen, and perhaps city
women in general, when they are sud-
denly called upon to earn their living,
are much more Independent about it
and much more original in their meth
DDS than women of smaller places, and
where womanly pursuits, as they are re-
garded, follow more closely prescribed
lines. The New York woman has more
knowledge of the world, and she knows
that one can do pretty much as one
pleases, if it is done with certain dash,
elan, carrying -all-before-it air. When
she comes to work for her living she
profits by this knowledge.
Instead of becoming a governess and
teacher of music she tries to get hold of
something original and that will excite
interest. When she has found it she
holds it up, as it were, on a blazoned
banner, inscribed with the legend, 81
haven't penny to my name, and am go
ing to work" She accepts the situation
with the greatest good humor, and
makes herself welcome to all the old set
by relating her discouragements, trials
and mistakes so comically that she is
better company than ever before. If
her story is not bad enough, she en-
broiders it to the proper point of at
tractiveness.
A bevy of such girls did decorative
painting on the ceiling of one of the
show houses of the town. They worked
on scaffolding as men do, lay down, or
let their feet hang over, and at luncheon
time sat around on the floor, gossiped
and took brief noontide maps, if they so
pleased, like. hodcarriers. One Of these
girls laid in the ground colors and
worked on the draperies Of the mural
paintings in one of the prominent
churches. She did her work on high
scaffold, and to lessen the chances of
catching her skirts she wore pair of
her brother-in-law's trousers under her
blue flannel painting costume. A girl
in a small town would feel that she had
lost caste forevermore if she eve
worked on scaffold like day laborer
from 9 until s, with an hour for lunch
eon.-New York Evening Sun.

A gifted parrot is owned by John
Sewey, of Noank, Conn. The bird was
captured in Mexican forest thirty-fve
years ago by its present owner, and
brought to this country. 1t speaks Eng
lish fuently, and is so respectful THAT
when it has cause for anger foreign
tongue is chosen to express its indigna-
ton. In other words, it fears to offend
polite ears by swearing in English. 1t
therefore relieves itself by cursing vig-
orously and vehemently in Spanish. 1t
takes its place at the table with the
family, in a chair that just fits it, and,
with napkin under his neck, feeds it
self with spoon held in one claw, while
it rests on the other. Its favorite diet is
ice cream.-Yankee Blade.

Appendlclrls Is a more common dls-
ease than physicians were formerly
aware of, for many cases that were for
merly looked upon as collie are now
known to have been appendicitis. 1t is
of supreme Importance that the disease
should be recognized early, since the
main hope of recovery lies in a surgical
operation, and this must be performed
early or not at all.
Without such an operation the pus
becomes septic or putrid, and fills the
system with blood poison. This change
in the pus takes place by the third day.
Yet many patients will not consent to
an operation until the case becomes one
of life or death, and not a few physicians
even sympathize with them.-Youth's

TWO CONVENTIONS.
So Decided The Executive Com
mittee Yesterday.
The Leaf Chronicle is Sustained as Usual
and There is No Likelihood OF
Split.

The Democratic Executive COM
mittee met at Nashville yesterday
and had very interesting session.
The sum and substance ofthe proceed
ings is that the committee decided to
hold two conventions. one May 70 to
select delegates at large to the nation
al convention, June Is, and another
August o, TO nominate Democratic
candidate for governor of Tennessee.
The vote on the two conventions
stood 10 to s in favor of two conven-
tions.
Selecting the place to hold the con-
ventions brought on lively fight,
but Nashville came out victorious
and gets both.
The committee did the sensible,
conservative thing in calling two
conventions. This saves the Demo
cratic party intact and there will be
no cause for split. Two conven'
tons separate National and State
politics. Before the gubernatoria
convention meets the national con
veLcion will have met, adopted
free silver and low tariff platform
which will be perfectly satisfactory
to the farmers, and Mr.. McDoWel
will have no reasonable grounds to In
duce the Alliance Democrats to leav'
the party. He may drag out few
of the wild, hot-headed fellows il
case things don't 90 to suit him, bu
not enough to combine with Repub
! licans in electing Legislature tina
will elect him to the Senate. Nc

views, and is the only paper that ma
y agitated the two convention idea

Dor and also by the American q

the delay of going to Memphis.

ing operations that is, early plant
ing. But the farmers are pretty well
up with their work the land is
broken and tobacco mostly stripped
and off of hand. The snow and
freeze will mellow and pulverize
the land and greatly aid rapid
growth and good crop. 1t is the
heaviest snow ever known in this

by the February snow of 1886, which
was twenty-five inches. The snow
fall this week amounts to sixteen
inches, but it will prove a blessing in

The reversal of the Avant case Is
generally discussed to-day. 1t seems
that the Judge and the lawyers on
both sides are glad that the case ha:
been remanded for new trial. They
all want to get at the bottom facts in
the case. The Supreme court de
cision will very much simplify the
next trial, and new testimony Will
be introduced on both sides.
