It is announced that the Coffin trust is doing good business.
 A London weekly newspaper has struck a novel way to increase it's circulation. It having been declared that the aroma of eucalyptus oil is remedy for the grip, the paper saturates it's issues with the oil and the demand for them is enormous.
 It is becoming apparent that there is no limit to Woman. When Sorosis recently discussed the question of Woman's train ing for a business career in reference to wifehood and motherhood, Mrs. Ada M. Brown pointed out that motherhood did not absorb all woman's energies. "Ame. lia E. Barr has been the mother of fifteen children" she said, 'tyet her books are ac. cepted by publishers and readers" It is natural that cotton mills should be near the cotton. A Pennsylvania cotton mill company closed arrangements practi cally last week to remove it's plant to Syla
 oaugs, Alabama, and capitalize it at $1 ,O0O, 900. Other evidences of the growing in | dustrial prosperity of the South are tha another large cotton mill is to be erected | at Anniston, Alabama; that $50, ,000 cot ton mill company has been formed at New

What l Know About Hardware
and Interest.

The laws which regulate interest
are similar to those which regulate in.
surance. The risk of loss determines
the rate. Some property can be in
sured at per cent, some at 2 l 2 per
cent, some at per cent. and some
property cannot be insured for less
than 10 per cent. Powder houses aud
oil houses cannot be insured at all
Some citizens of Waco can borrow all
the money they want at per cent,
others have to pay 10 per cent; others
cannot borrow any money at any rate.
An act to regulate the rise and fall of
the Mississippi river or the rise and
fall of the thermometer, would be no
more absurd than an act to regulate
the rate of interest or insurance. Our
law makers in their great wisdom (?)
thought that a 10 per cent. usury law
would cause money lenders to run
after borrowers and beg them to take
their money at low rate. If any Dor.
rover has been overwhelmed with of.
fers of cheap money, the fact has
never been made known. No one will
pay 10 per cent. for money unless it
will cost him more not to borrow, but
under the law, loans whose risk is
worth more than 10 per cent cannot
be made al all.

ELECTRICITY is greatly facilitating
mining in the western states. Power
can be sent from long distances up to
attitudes where fuel could hardly be
hauled. The mines near Ouray, Col,
5000 feet above the timber line, are fur
nished with 200 horse power generated
by water power below, and conveyed on
a small copper wire. The mines are
often inaccessible in winter, but the
power goes up just the same. A more
plentiful application of electricity to
gold mining would seem to he particu-
larly desirable just now.
