A better Outlook in the South.
From the Manufacturers Record, May 20.
Our sdvices from various centres in
the South indicate a steady
improvement In general BUSH G. g
conditions. The widespread depres-
zion, resulting first from the
financial disturbance of eighteen
months ago, and greatly augmented
by the abnormslly low price of
cotton, is gradual wearing away and
confidence is being restored. Money
is more abundant in Southern banks
and loans are readily obtainable
upon good security. A general
spirit of economy and an effort to-
pay debts are two significant
features of the situation that tend
greatly to improve credit. The
unprofitableness of the last cotton
crop, caution of factors in making
advances for this season, are d.
verting the attention of planters to
an unusal degree from cotton to food
crops. The iron industry is dull and
prices are still abnormally low
The lum ber trade at all points in the
South is In good condition and
prices have been advanced in
severl lines.Ths demand is active
and shipments have been very
heavy, but the disturbed condition of
the building trades in the North and
East are likely to curtail shipment to
those sections for time. There is
little tendency to speculate in any
direction, and whatever is being done
of this character Is conducted on a
conservative basis. Manufacturing
interests In the South are In. a good
condition, and apart from the iron
trade factories are we'll supplied
with work and making full time.
A large amount of capital is seeking
good investmentin the South, and our

Farm Life In Northern Italy

An Italian woman gives a sad account OF
the state of farming IN the northern portions
OF her country. Almost all the farmers are
tenants They furnish the team and imple-
ments, while the landlords make repairs and
pay the taxes Tho crops are equally divided.
As rule both CLASSES have hard time. In

fore the vine disease cost next to nothing,

BREAKING A SPRING.

The most frequent accident is the break
ing OF one OF the springs on which the
body of the engine rests. That is liable
To occur whenever she runs over a rough
Joint In the track 1t would seem inpos-
sible to raise the body back TO its position
IL the accident should occur any distance
from the shops, but the engineers have a
very simple way Of doing 1t. Blocks of
wood are placed just behind the wheels
on the side on which the spring broke.
The engine Is run back and the wheels,
running on the blocks, lift that side 80
high above the ground that the body ID
level. A beam Is placed under the body
| and the blocks are then removed, the
| wheel falling hack to the track. That
leaves the body in its original aud proper
position, and blocks OF wood are substitu-
ted for the broken spring. In that condi-
ton she liz run 10 the shop for repairs.
The straps which hold the driving bars to
the pins In the wheels sometimes break,
too, and frequently the pins are also
| broken but accidents of that kind gem
orally occur ON slippery track. When
the rails are wet, II the engine has n heavy
load, the wheels will slip around ut 9
lively rate, but the engine will not move
forward an inch. Then the engineer
opens the sand box, and II he pours toe
much sand ON the rails the wheels vii
take hold too suddenly and the straI
snaps, or out comes the pin. Then tha
engine Is totally paralyzed ON that sid.
and she has To be run into the shop viii
ne side only.
These are few OF the Ills 10 which
locomotive il subject, and her aiiment
begin at her birth, and end only when sh
Is consigned to the junk pile.-St. Loui
Republican.
