Like n Romance.

The progress of the South since APP
pomattoN has no parallel outside of
romance.
In 1865 we had no money. no credit,
no hope. Many of our cities were in
ashes, our plantations were wrecked,
and our railways were worn out.
To-day we have land of peace and
plenty. $4,000 miles of railway. and
our average percentage of increase of
per capita wealth for the decade end
ing in 1899 was 100 per cent more than
that of New England or the central
West.
We are drawing capital and we are
making capital.
Ten years ago we had 800 national
banks; now we have $50.
The percentage of the increase of
our foreign exports is about five times
the combined gain at the other ports
of the country.
A few days ago we showed by reli-
able statistics that we have fewer fail
ureS, with smaller liabilities. in the
South than in other sections. We
showed, too, that in development and
production our progress has been
phenomenal, and that the growth of our
diversified manufactures made total
during the last five years of over H.
600 new industries.
Now. take this fact: Since 1888 our
assessed property has increased 81. co.,
oo0,000 in value, according to the re-
ports of 1899!
When section can accomplish so
much in twenty-Seven years starting
with only battletields and ruins for
asSetS-the outlook ought to be bright.

A Kingdom in Ohio.

Zoar, o., is the abiding place of
mystic band of German communists
who hold all property in common, the
place being a miniature kingdom with
in itself. The people, who call them
selves Zoarites, own 1000 acres of land
which all lie in one body, about half
of the tract being in high state of
cultivation. The original Zoarite pur-
chase was 10000 acres, but 5000 have
since been sold at high figure. Every
article, implement. device, contriv-
ance, or machine used, wrought with,
or employed in Zoar,is of Loarite man.

every article worn or eaten. with the
exceptions of coffee, tea and spices.
The shoes the Zoarites wear are made

prepared by their own tanners from
hides taken from cattle bred and
raised on the great community cattle

the whole catalogue of manufacturers,
which certainly gives to Zoar distinct

A CAR THAT WRITES.

After twenty years of patient labor
and study, NJ. 2. H. Dudley has in
vented car that writes 1t records,
slowly or rapidly, the condition of the
roadbed over which it travels. A cur
ious electric machine controls a num-
Der of small glass tubes finished to a
point, that are filled with ink. These
tubes trace on paper, specially made,
all the variations Of the track; where
there is difference of the sixteenth
of an inch, the difference is recorded
The sheets of paper, which are eighth
feet long, pass over on rollers that are
connected with the wheels of the car,
and keep the record of each mile of
the road traversed. Every curve as
well as the alignment and variation
of the height of the rails. is recorded;
each defect is clearly marked, and it
is then an easy matter to locate and
repair them. This car is also the
home of Mr. Dudley, who owns it.

The Gar Is Weak. Not Wicked.

A near kinsman of the Gar, who
visits Russia frequently, and who IS
well known for his frankness as well
as fairness, told me a few months ago
that many of the things done by the
alleged order of the Car were repug-
nant to that rulers feelings. The
princes conversation might be sum-
married. in this way:
alexander has no idea of doing
wrong to any one. His heart is full
of kindness. He is happy only when
surrounded by his family circle.
1T is true that the foulest malad-
ministration and persecution are go
inc on all about him; but he, poor fell
low. is incapable of seeing them. He
hears only the reports OF ministers,
who know that he does not like to be
worried.
The poor man is so burdened with
fat that he can scarcely do any work;
his temperament is sluggish; he lacks
intelligence; when he signs papers he
has no idea that he is doing more than
an exercise In penmanship.
"He is physically and mentally inca
pable of supervising any department
of the government-no even the mill
tary; and as a consequence the coun-
try is left entirely to officials, who di-
vide up power amongst themselves.
and do what they can to remain in
office"
only quote enough of this princes
remarks to explain how it is that
abuses continue in a country nOmi-
nally governed by a mild, peace-lov-
ing Gar, for it opens terrible vista
of what might be were he disposed to
be personally cruel. 1t makes one
shudder to think of the day when the
present Czarowitz shall mount the
throne.-Poultaey Bjgelo0, in Harper's

LURES FOR POOR FISHES.

These little green frogs are some
thing new for bait said dealer IN
anglers supplies to Star writer.
'sThey are made of India rubber. Here
are earthworms, also of the same ma
terial. threaded on hooks. They save
a great deal of trouble when real ones
are scarce, and young ladies provided
with them while fishing do not have
occasion to constantly annow their
male escorts with requests that their
lines be attended to. Pike and Ger
tain other carnivorous fishes very
much enjoy small mouse on the rare
occasions when such a luxury Is OBJ
tainable, and SO these little count er
felt mice are supplied to tempt their
appetites. limitations of various kinds
of animals for use as bait are becom-
ing more numerous every season. In
this box of counterfeit insects are
grasshoppers. lady bugs, bronze and
black beetles, caterpillars and bees.
1t is not necesSasy to mention the
hundreds of species of moths and
other bugs that are reproduced in the
shape of artificial flies made of bits
of-feathers and fur; that are gather
cred from all parts of the world for
the purpose. This horrible looking
thing represents in hfe-like manner
'helgramite' the larvae of the drag
on fly, otherwise known as the devils
darning needle Here are some arti
fetal shrimps, which are almost as
well for bait as real ones. Another
novelty is the floating minnow.' 1t Is
intended for trolling in shallow wa
tiers, where there are lilypads or snags
on the bottom which are likely to foul
the hook SO long as the boat is going
ahead the minnow travels about half a
| foot beneath the surface; but when
the boat pauses the minnow comes to
the top instead of sinking and getting
caught. Imitation sand eels' are a
new kind of lure, and phantom min
nows' are in greater variety this year
than ever before, counterfeiting actual
live ones with surprising accuracy, as
you may see for yourself. All these
these things are for fresh water fish
ing. The only kind of artificial bait
that will deceive salt water fish is a
cleaning troll, such as these mother
of-peal 'squids' which will take the
eye of bluetish better than any live
bait that ever was invented.-W ash

WHY THE WATER DID NOT
RUN.

In the opinion of grown up people
little boys are queer creatures, be-
cause they seldom say or do the things
that are expected of them. A story
comes from Bath, Maine, to illustrate
this point. During Sunday-school
service the minister was explaining
the need of joining achurch in order
to obtain all the blessings of a relig
iouS life.
"Supposing," he said, "that my
house was filled with water-pipes and
faucets, and yet had no water in the
house. What should you say was
the matter?" He expected the chill
dren to see that a connection with
the water main would be necessary
before water would flow into the
house, but only one little boy held up
his hand. "Weu," said the minister
"what is the reason there is no water
in my house?"
81 guess its cause you don't pay
up said the child.

A friend of mine had an odd way
of mixing her words. Perfectly I'M
conscious of it, she would often max e
folks laugh. She would speak OF
feeling ''feak and weeble,' for weak
and feeble, and "castor i'll polls" for
castor oil pills. But she ~as weak
and feeble, until she took that power

Prescription" which SO wonderfully
imparts strength to the whole system,
and to the womb and its appendages
in particular. For overworked
women, rundown women, and feeble
women generally, DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is unequaled. 1t
is invaluable in allaying and subdu-
ing nervous excitability, irritability,
exhaustion, prostration, hysteria,
spasms and other distressing, nervous
symptoms, commonly attendant upon
functional and organic disease. 1t
induces refreshing sleep and relieves
mental anxiety and dependency.

TIE LIGHT BRIGADE.
Sergeant Wightman Was One of Them,

We had not broken into the charging
pace, writes Sergeant j. W. Wightman
in the Nineteenth century, when poor
old John Lee. my right-hand man on
the flank of the regiment, was all but
smashed by a shell; he gave my arm
3 twitch, as with strange smile on
his worn old face he quietly said, DO
mino, chum," and fell out of the sad
die His old gray mare kept along
side of me for some distance, treading
on and tearing out her entrails as SIZE
galoped, till at length she dropped

toned that my comrade, Peter Marsh,
was my left-hand man; next beyond
him was private Dudley. The eXplo-
sion of a she'll had swept down four or
five men on Dudley's left, and | heard
him ask Marsh if he had noticed what

Marsh begged me to fall out; but

minutes we must be into them, and SO

it out with my comrades.
1t was about this time that Sergeant
Talbot had his head clean carried off
by a round shot, yet for about thirty
yards farther the headless body kept
the saddle, the lance at the charge
firmly gripped under the right arm.
My narrative may seem barren of in
cidents of the charge; but amid the
crash of shells and the whistle of bul-
lets, the cheers and the dying cries of
comrades, the sense of personal danger,
the pains of wounds, and the consum-
ing passion to reach the enemy, he
