A Missouri CrOyy-ROOst.

"a mile and half of crows are a good
many" said Mr.. Charles Jones, "but
there is a crow-roost down in Southwest
Missouri which covers that area OF
ground. Out of curiosity l recently
made visit to the roost after nightfall,
and never heard such tempest of caws
before in my life. There were thous
ands of the birds and they kept up an
incessant roar that was really deafening.
Where they came from no one can say,
but persons living near by state that every
evening from four o'clock until dark tho
heavens are black with vast tiocks com
ing from every direction, but that they
are early risers, and at daybreak few are
left. These crows have been making
this spot headquarters for number
of years, and have become source
of annoyance to the farmers of the
surrounding country by committing dep
rotations upon their wheat fields, and
very often raids are made on the roosts
after dark when thousands are killed.
But this seems to have no effect on them
other than to make the others more wary
The people of that section are seriously
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of asking the
State Legislature to offer bounty tor
crow heads, which they believe would
either result in their determination or
cause them to move their headquarters.

THE OLD WIFE.

BY tho bed the old man, waiting, sat in vjsi
sad and tender,
Where his aged wife lay dying; and the twi
light shadows brown
Slowly from the wall and window chased the
sunsets golden splendor
Going down.
'1t is night - she whispered, waking, (for her
spirit seemed to hover
Lost between the next worlds sunrise and the
bedtim, cares ofthis),
And the old man, weak and fearful, trembling
as he bent above her
Answered, Eyes"
'.Are the children in!' she asked him. Could
he tell her? All the treasures
Of their household lay in silence many years
beneath the snow;
But her heart was with them living, back
among her tolls and pleasures.
Long ago.
And again she called at dew-fall, in the swee
old summer weather,
"Where is little Charlie, father? Frank and
Robert-have they Gomez"
sThey are SAFE the old man faltered-"all
the children are together,
Safe at home.:'
Then he murmured gentle soothings, but his
grief grew strong and stronger,
Till it choked and stilled him as he held and
kissed her wrinkled hand,
For her soul, far out of hearing, could his
fondest words no longer
Understand.
Still the pale lips stammered questions, lula
bes, and broken verses,
Nursery prattle-all the language of a moth
er's loving needs,
While the midnight round the mourner, left
to sorrows bitter mercies,
Wrapped its weeds.
There was stiffness on the pillow-and the old
man listened lonely
Till they led him from the chamber, with the
burden on his breast,
For the wife of seventy years, his manhood's
early love and only,
Lay at rest.
"Fare you WE'LL" he sobbed, "my Sarah; you
will meet the babes before me;
lisa little while, for neither can the parting
long abide,
And you'll come and call me soon, I know
and heaven will restore me
TO your side'

Shell Money.

The collections of the National Mu-
scum would be incomplete if they did
not contain specimens of the shell
money, which served rs a substitute for
coins as a means of exchange ages before
the precious metals were discovered. 1t
seems strange to find this form of cash
utilized to this day by many nations in
Southern Asia, in the islands of the In
dian and South Pacific oceans, and in
many parts of Africa. In those regions
the "cowry" shell is the one chiefly en-
ployed, for the reason that it is of con-
venient size and the natural supply of it
is limited, SO that one cowry shell may
be considered to represent definite
amount of labor in the process of find
ing, and there is no material chance of a
sndden initiation of the. currency by the
- z-~-., o+ deposit of cowries.
One hundred cowries are worth two cents.

There are no alleys in Para, Brazil, as
the authorities considered them merely
hiding places for garbage, and had them
done away with about three years ago.
By a city ordinance, however, all ashes
and garbage must be carried out and left
in the street every evening between 1880
and $50. At o'clock the street clean
ing department of the city leaves the
various stations, goes through and
sweeps every street, loads all garbage
and ashes on to its wagons and hauls it
away to the garbage crematory, about
three miles out of the city limits. There
the wagons are driven on a large re.
volving platform and carried to the place
Where the load is dumped into the retort.
By midnight the streets are all clean, the
days garbage consumed, ashes carted
away and the men and horses of the
street cleaning department are at rest.

Would Make a Straight River.

ga Southern Engineer" in the En-
ginecring Magazine, says that the only
solution of the Mississippi River problem,
''at once scientific and sensible" is to
give it straight channel from Cairo to
the Gulf, and thinks it q wonder that
the "dcmands of navigation alone have
not already compelled this kind of i'm
provement.' He admits that in such q
channel that the river would have nearly
twice its present velocity, and if he had
stopped to think a minute he would
have seen that the demands of naviga-
ton do not call for any such current.
Five miles an hour, which is somewhere
near the present rate of the current, is a
good strong tide for any ordinary steam
boat to stem, and there are many places
in the river now where boat has to hug
the shore to make any Roadway at all,
and if the current was increased to ten
miles an hour there is not boat on the
river that could get from here to Baton
Rouge. Furthermore, with such q
current the corroding power Of the stream
would be enormously increased, and the
slightest detection of the current to-
wards either bank would speedily eat
into it and restore the bends which had
been gotten rid of. If the channel of
the river could be made as straight as q
string, an utterly impossible feat, nothing
could keep it there but massive dykes of
solid masonry reaching to the bottom of
the stream on either side, and it is a
question how long they would stand
Southern Engineer's' solution looks
very we'll on paper, but so far from being
either sensible or scientific, it is absurd.

In its editorial summary of the year

In its editorial summary of the year
1892 in the South, the Baltimore Manu-
facturers' Record makes an encouraging
showing. Last yea- the Southern out
put of pig iron, as obtained direct from
the producers, amounted to 1854 ,29S
gross tons, as compared with 1,708, 965
tons in 1891, being an increase of 245, =
800 tons, nearly fifteen per cent. EIevei
new blast furnaces were completed, six
in Virginia, one in North Carolina and
four in Tennessee. Three rolling mills
were built-two in Virginia and one in
Tennessee. Our coal output, adds the
Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, increased
from %, ,312 tons in 1891 to d, 612,-
CAT in 1892. During last year eighty.
four new coal mining companies went
into business. Southern railway mile.
age last year was increased 1858 miles.
Our exports of cotton decreased SIS.
600, 900 and increased generally and in
cereals about $4,000, 900. Several new
steamship lines were started from various
Southern ports. In conclusion the Re-
cord says: In the last sixteen months
the number of spIndles in Southern
cotton mills has been increased by $780,.
1873 and the number of looms by II, $40
On January /, 1898, the cotton mills of
the South contained 52,537 looms and
2,S75, 90S spiudles. The consumption
of cotton by Southern mills increased
from COB, 1873 bales in 1891 to 652, 1917
in 1892. The phosphate industry of
the South shows shipments of 629, 800
tons from Florida and South Carolina in
1892, as compared with $50, 272 tons in
1891. The South Carolina shipments
decreased from 1853, S72 tons in 1891 to
346, 500 tons in 1892, but the Florida
output increased from 1870, 400 tons in
1891 to ga, 22l tons in 1892. The
total number of new industrial establish.
ments organized during 1892 was 1868.
The shipments of lumber from nine
leading Southern ports aggregated /,
BOO, 1874 feet in 1892, compared
with !, 075, 421, III feet in 1891. The
assessed valuation of property in the
South shows an incfease from 81, 49,
$50, 375 in 1891 to 81, sG6, $50, 1872 in
1892. Altogether, says the Constitution
in summing up, the South made q sub
stantial advance last year, aud is in fine
shape for another twelve months of
progress.

that the sun rises upon the American
people, it sees an addition of 50, $780,

of the daily accumulation of all mankind
