Mr.. Albert G. Hendrick, of New
York, general inspector of fire
departments and water supplies for
the n ational Board of Underwriters,
is in the city attending to the duties
of his office.
This afternoon he is in the hands
of Mayor McCulloch, Chief Pres

chairman of the fire committee OF
the city council. They are showing
him the water supply, and will
sometime during the afternoon let
him observe how the department
gets out by turning in an alarm
from a convenient fire box.
My. Hendrick, who is an old fire

He has been in Texas two months,
and has visited twenty seven towns.
Asked what impressed him most he
replied:
"TDe climate; it is the finest

Happy Homes.

1t is the small things that make
a home happy. The ignoring of
this fact has caused great deal of
anhappiness. "Tritles light as air"
sometimes create a wbirlwind of
emotions that carries obstruction in
its pathway. Happiness is like
dimes and dollars; look we'll to the
dimes, the dollars will do their own
hu.thng. What head of the family
has not lain awake the best part of
the night dreadipg the coming
morn and the fire k,ndling? Shiv-
ering, he gropes his way to the
cold regions of the kitchen and
empties the oil can. This is enough
in itself to make marriage failure.

Beginning Of Rics Culture in South
Carolina.


The introduction of rice growing into
South Carolina neatly 200 years ngo was
by something very like an accident.
Thomas Landgravc Smith, before coming
to this country, had paid some attention
to rice culture, and on settling in South
Cnroliua had become impressed with the
idea that the climate and low.lying lands
of shat region were we'll adapted for
rice growing. In the year 1904 n sm,ll
vessel frsm Madagascar put into Charles
ton harbor in distress. 1t turned out
that there was in tho cooks keeping a
small quantity Of rice, snd this fell into
the hands of Landgrave Smith, who
planted 1t in a low, most portion Of his
garden. The plant grew aud ripcncd in
manner that was most encouraging.
Mr.. Smith distributed the seed among
his ncighbors, ami eventually rice became
the staple product of the colony. At
first the rico was cultivated on the high
land and on little spots Of low ground
The low ground was soon found pref
erable, and the inland swamps were
cleared to extend tho culture of the plant
As the fields, in the process of time,
became too gras y and stubborp, they
were abandoned for new clcarings, and
so on until at length the superior adop-
ton of the tide lands and the great
facilities for irrigation afforded by their
location was discovered. For thes, the
inland plantations were gradually nban-
doucd

An Effort Will be Made to Introduce
the Product in this Country.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The Egyptian
cotton seed purchased by Secretary Rusk
through the United States Consul General
at Cairo, Egypt, has been received at
the Department of Agriculture. The
purpose of this importation of seed as
set forth in Mr.. Rusk's last report as Sec.
retary of Agriculture, is to undertake,
with the cooperation of the experiment
stations in the cotton States, experiments
with view to producing cotton of home
growth which may serve as an efficient
substitute for the Egyptian, Of which,
during the last fiscal year, more than
$4,000, 600 orth was imported into this
country, an increase of Is per cent. over
tho previous year, aud Of considerably
more than 100 per cent. over the year
ending 1890. The cotton seed received
at the Dcpa' tment consists OF two of the
best known Egyptian varieties, the
"Afif' and the "Bamiah." The dis
ir!ba;iou will be made to the experiment
stations in the cotton States, and also
through the senator's for those States to
planters whom they may recommend as
persons well qualified and willing to
give the Egyptian seed careful trial.

climate and methods of cultivation of
the Egyptian cotton is being prepared

noted by the R"view that this will be
the only train in the world that will be

Review is inclined to think that the en-

Baltimore and Ohio will be responsible
for some "red headed" passenger agents
