The total supply of raw wool for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1898, was
about $50, 600, 900 pounds. in addition to
the importation of about SIS, 200, 600
worth of imported cloth at the foreign
value. It is estimated that the wool
required to produce these goods was
over three pounds of unwashed wool
per dollars worth of goods This
would. therefore, make a total con-
sumption by the American people Of
nearly 10000, 900 pounds OF raw wool,
equal to about "a per cent. of the
worlds supply. AS the American peo-
pie are only about per cent of the
worlds population, and as they use 81
per cent. of the worlds production of
wool, the per capita consumption is
nine and three-fourths pounds, which
is the largest by any nation in the
world. 1t is, therefore, not surprising
that foreigners are jubilant over the
prospect of being able to secure a
greater share OF the United States mar
ket, which advocates OF the Wilson bill
declare will be the result of its becom-
ing law, depriving the American pro-
Queer of just so much of the American
market as this bill proposes to give to
the foreigner; for whatever additional
employment is thus given to the for
eigner, to that extent is the amount of
work for our own people lessened.

The SNAKE CATCHER.

Odd Occupation of Mlssissippi House,
boat Couple.
The selling of snakes to scientific
men, 70 manufacturers who use the
skins and 10 museums is business
which man and his wife who live In
Mississippi houseboat engage in. The
strange couple were interviewed the
other day by the reporter for New
Orleans paper. The man does most Of
the snake catching, and, although he
has been bitten several times, he con-
siders the experience only triiing In
cident Of his trade. "a rattlesnake,
for instance, when pursued" he says,
coils and is ready to defend himself.
flip stone or small piece of stick at
him; he uncoils and starts of, but be-
fore he can again coil have him back
of the neck. No, use no stick-noth-
ing but my bare hands. You may
laugh, too, when / tell you that our
snake lore teaches us not to hunt when
the wind Is in the northwest. If we do
we find no snakes The principal seasons
of the year forusa are spring and fall; the
snakes are then fat and produce lots
of oil" OF all the snakes in the United
States only three families, he says, can
be classed as deadly. But, he adds,
these families comprise about thirty
two species, distributed as follows:
Rattlesnakes, seven; cotton-mouths,
eight; copperheads, seventeen, the two
latter being moccasins and dwellers in
the swamps and low places The
snake catcher,s method OF treating
bites Is rs follows: When bitten inn
mediately tie band above the wound,
eateag The latter deeply In order TO
cause 1t to bleed freely, and TO reach
below the extremity pierced by the
fang. The cut Is then sucked, or warm,
newly killed flesh is applied, and the
remedies are then rubbed into the
wound, neutralizinp the poison.s

Mohammedan Mission Work.

According to the Home News,
London, the sultan of Turkey is
anxious to take steps to counteract
the growth of Christianity in Africa.
Numerous emissaries, Mussulman
priests and others are being dis
patched, we are told, at the expense
OF the sultan's privy purse, to
Africa, in order to spread the mos
lem religion and ideas, and thus to
create o barrier to the advance OF
the Christian powers in the dark
continent. The sultanic scheme will.
we may safely believe, prove less
formidable in practice than on
paper. The privy purse referred to
is not overlooking, and missionary
enterprise is rot to be prosecuted
without funds.

LosT cARNoT.s HAT.
In the Excitement of the Momen. Anosber,
Man Wore It Awny.


A strange incident, by the way,
marked the last days spent by Nine.
Carnot in the palace which had been
her home for seven anxious years. She
desired to preserve as precious relics
for her family all the articles OF dress
worn by her husband at the moment
when he was struck down by the assas-
SINS hand. These were carefully col
lected and sent to her, but the hat
alone was missing, audit was supposed
to have been lost In the confusion of
that fatal drive. It appears, however,
that among the first to offer medical
help as the victim lay on his deathbed
at the prefecture was DR.. Girard, the
mayor of CharbonnieraS
When other surgeons took charge of
the case this gentleman discreetly
withdrew and was looking for his hat,
whereupon Col. chamoin handed one to
him. He put 1t on and went home,
thinking It was his own, for 1t fitted
him exactly. Not until some days later
he cast his eyes on this article of head
gear as II hung in his hall, examined It
more closely and found it marked In
side with "C'' did he recognize his
mistake. The lost hat was forthwith
restored and Mime. carnot acknowl-
edged its receipt In a letter expressing
her heartfelt thanks.

When Queen Victoria travels, an en-
CINE is carefully selected, in charge of
an experienced engineer and fireman.
A pilot engine always precedes the
royal train, and no train is allowed to
cross the main line for half an hour be-
fore the time for the queen to pass.
The gates at ali grade crossings are
locked, all shifting operations are sus-
pended and an army of track-walkers
are on duty to remove any obstruction
from the line. In addition to all this,
a telegram Is sent from every station
heralding her approach. Altogether,
1t must be quite an events when her
majesty takes trip. but the general
travelling public cannot enjoy 1t.

oANpER AGAINST BEAR.

An Incident Showing There lsho Ger
tainiy as to How a Fight VIII End.
An Alameda saloonkeeper has q
black bear cub about o foot and a
half high when he stands on his hind
legs and reaches for a strangers
coat tails. Hell full Of mishief or
fight as occasion may require, but
withal very discreet. He knows he
is not big enough to whip the grocer's
dog, but he doesn't hesitate to in
timidate the candy mans cat. When
any strange animal comes in sight
he stands on his legs, pricks up his
ears and eyes 1t critically. II after
sizing it up he thinks. he can polish
1t of in good shape, he lowers his
ears, smacks his chops, shows his
teeth and paws the air to make as
formidable an appearance as pos
sible and slowly advances. Ifhe de-
cides, on the contrary. that he is
giving any weight, he breaks for
the house. crawls under and suarls.
Recently big gander marched
gravely up the street. The bear
sized him up and said to himself:
Hes my meat. /"
He advanced OH tho gandcr, who
marched slowly and steadily on till
the growing cub barred lis way.
Then he extended his wings,
stretched out his neck and tried to
make the cub ashamed Of himself.
The bear made two or three vicious
but Intellectual cuffs at the gander
and then stopped to see what he had
accomplished. Just at that juno
ture the gander took firm hold on
the cubs ear and commenced pound
ing him over the head with his
wings. The cub was a gutter and
started to beat a hasty precipitous
retreat, but the gander wouldn't let
him. Hejust hung on and thumped
away. When the dust aud feathers
settled, the gander was trying to
find the tender portion of what APP
peared to be q piece of the bears ear.

Building and Loan Association.
There is a Chicago building and
lean association which has great
faith in women borrowers, says the
Investment Review. Running over
an experience of eight years the as
ISOLATION has not lost cent from its
female stockholders, and the secre-
tary is firmly of the opinion that
when woman starts out to secure
a home she does not cease her eff
forts until she gets it. The first
loan the association made to q woman
was on lot out at Thirty-frst and
Wallace streets. 1t was in the ma
ture of an experiment, and some of
the officers thought it bad policy;
but the woman stated the case this
way: I'VE are paying ten dollars a
month rent, and / know we could
Just as well pay that amount toward
the purchase ola home. She sue
lceeded in getting seven hundred and
fifty dollars, with which the associa-
ton put up brick cottage on her
lot. Since that time she has added
another story to the building and a
payment has never been missed. ST

that a woman after home, if she
has a good husband, manages to

forms the best kind of q borrower.
We had one once who fell behind
several months, but she kept con.
tinually coming to the office and de-
claring that she would come out all
right, and she did. That has been
my experience with all the women
to whom we have loaned money"

Here it is seen that during the four
years ending June 80, 1892, the national
debt less cash in the treasury decreased
BY s1s4, 4ls, $50. go, or at the rate of ss.o5
per head OF our population. This show
ing is slightly different from that made
during the first year of the present adj
ministration, which added almost $751;
100000 TO the national debt. 1t is of
further interest to study the amount of
interest paid on the national debtwith-
in the same period. which 1t will be

b Boom, n. c.
Yes. 1t is the one and only cause of
financial pressure. With the guaran.
teed continuance of n protective tariff,
every mill and factory in the country
would be running to its utmost capacity
within thirty days. The money now
boarded in the banks would immedi.
ately pass into circulation for the pur.
chase of raw material and the payment
of wages The purchasing power Of
the people being thus restored there
would be demand for the products of
our mills, factories and farms, and
money that is now idle would pass
from hand to hand to the benefit OF all.
Idle money in the banks is withdrawn
from circulation, and every dollar thus
locked up is dollar taken from the
country's trading capacity. There wa
nothing of this sort in 1891.
