The Natural Resources of the South.
BY the census statistics the mortal
lily among whites for the census year
1880 was IA "a per 1000 for the whole
United States, including the South;
and for the southern states alone from
Maryland TO Louisiana inclusive il
was but 14.04 por 1000. BY the best
of all demonstrations, therefore, the
South is proving tho salubrity of her
climate, the fertility of her soil, tho
extent of her natural resources, and
her fitness for the support of a large
population. An empire in extent, her
lands are still not onc-half occupied.
Her popula ion per square mile aver
ages about one-third that of the aver
age northern state, and but one-ifth
that of the more populous ones. The
sole condition which now prevents a
large immigration, both from abroad
anu AiOii ihc nv ti-NCstCtu etdteS,
from taking advantage of the oppor-
tunitics open in the South,is ignorance
of the situation. Such ignorance can
not be of long duration.
Briefly. there is not elsewhere upon
the globe q territory open 10 the
Anglo Saxon race, with such varied
and great resources and such propi-
tious and easy conditions of life and
labor, SO abundantly supplied with
rivers, harbors, and with lines of
railroad transportation, or SO well To-
Gated 10 command the commerce of
both hemispheres. The prophecy of
what our people will make of these
advantages In the struggle for COM
mcrcial supremacy among tho nations
of the earth is but family written in
what has already been done, under
adverse conditions, by each section
working alone. Now their united
strength will BIO brought TO bear on
the easiest part of the problem. The
most progressive race on carth-the
leaders of the world in science, in in
vcntion, in wealth, in energy, and in
entcrprise--will here develop the
greatest natural resources under the
most favorable conditions possible.

How Winds Shnpo The Earth.

when we sec the snow blown iuto
huge drifts, burying fcnses, and half
concealing farm buildings with its
white ramparts, VIC have a pretty
clear conception of the power of the
wind TO move the Lighter objects on
tho eartlrs surface. But in parts of
tho world where broad, sandy deserts
exist the wind assumes far greater
importance in its ability TO change
the aspect OF The face of the globe.
Huge sand hills roll slowly Def nc it,
advancing across the level country in
seemingly magical manner.
How this process is performed Is
clearly Indicated by passage in the
report - Mr. Lttlcdalc, who, with
his wife crossed tho great Pamir
plateau year ago last summer. De-
scribing the scenes along the Trans
caspian railway, Mr.. Lttiedalc says:
"The line has been carried through
bowling wastes of drifting yellow
sand, having all the appearance of a
strong sea with its waves aud pillows,
which some magician has changed 10
motionlcss sand.
"But the stiffness is not real, for if
you watch the top of the crcsts of the
wavy hills you will notice that even
a light breeze causes the moisture
less powdery sand TO blow over tho
top of the crcsts down on their Ice
side, thus moving the sand hill slowly
but gradually forward, and il Is these
restless sand waves that constituted the
main difficulty in constructing and
keeping open tho Transcaspalan rail-
way"
But this is not the only important
effect of tho wind working upon sand.
Attention has recently been recalled
by Mr.. John II. Cooke to the fact that
the shapes of permanent hills are
altered, sometimes to q wonderful cx-
tent, by the blowing of the wind
against them. This Is especially true
where the hills are partly composed Of
some form of rock that readily dis
integratcs under the influence of the
weather.
The crumbling rock is blown away,
leaving the moro solid rock behind in
curious forms. The famous sirocco,
or southcasterly wind, that blows
across the Mediterranean sea from
Africa, has shaped and nodded many
q hill and vallcy.
= Mr.. Cooke asserts that an extensive
bay on The cast codst " Tie isiu6d OF
Malta owes 1t origin and extent to tho
agency Of tho sirocco, which blows
directly into it. The rapid changes
from dampness 10 dryncss which are
characteristic of the sirocco, and the
capitalization of the salt which it de-
posts upon the rocks, arc rcckoncd
among tho powers of destruction
which this wind possesses.

A MiIlionaire,s Son.

1t is somewhat rare, declares the
New Orleans Times Democrat, to fluid
milionaire's son devoted to his
books rather than his pleasures. There
is one such in the house of Wander
bilt, and the son of G. z. Huntington,
described as "superb specimen of
physical manhood, with towering
height Of six feet four" deyotes eight
hours day TO study. He is especially
interested in Arabic, aud is said to
have tho finest existing library of
books in that language, statement
that is of very doubtful accuracy. Mr..
Huntington is credited with an ambi-
ton to write history of tho Moors in
Spain.

Anglo-Indian Words.

Colonel Yule, the editor of Marco
Polo, has published, with John Murray,
of London, glossary of Anglo-Indian
colloquial words. In this work, along
with well known loan words from re-
mote oriental tongues, we are surprised
to meet "Just the cheese" derived from
chiz, meaning thing" also, Don't care
a damn" derived from dam, small
copper coin and equivalent for "brass
farthing." "Candy" sugar comes from
khanda, and means broken" sugar.
"Chicane" and "chicanery" are derived
through French usage from chaugan,
horsegolf, or what we call polo, game
which has reached us for the second
time since it was imported into Europe
from the east before the Middle Ages.
Demijohn is not from French dame
jeanne, but the town of Dannaghan, in
Persia. Turban is a corruption of dull
band, Persian word for head wrap.

indeed, has been his success in the man

akin TO those of human beings than to
the faithful imitation of unreasoning
brutes. 1t would take too long to describe

A Rainy Day Dress.

There is one new fashion that every
girl, whether she be rich or poor, should
adopt, and that is a rainy day dress.
The short skirt is faced with light india
rubber cloth, and is to be worn with
knickerbockers and leggings. The petit
coat and skirt itself may both be sewed
to the same band, or, as some wear them
now, the upper skirt is lined, and the
lining is left loose at the bottom and
hemmed. This affords the appearance
and protection Of two skirts, when there
is really only one, but it is considered
quite permissible now, especially for
dad going" in the country, to wear the
one skirt with CATERS and knickerbock-
ers.-New York Tribune.

II is our earnest desire TO impress upon
the minds of the public the superiority Of
the service offered by the Wiconsin Cen
trail Lines to Milwaukee, Chicago and all
points East and South. Two fast trains
leave st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth
daily, equipped with Pullman Vestibuled
Drawing Room Sleepers, Dining Cars and
Coaches of the latest design. Its Dining
Car Service is unsurpassed, which ac-
counts, to great degree, for the popu-
larity of this line. The Wisconsin Gem
