Iron is said to be the business barome- ter, and if so the revival of the industry around Birmingham is a most cheering sign. Several of the furnaces have re- gently gone into blast and all of them will be at work at an early date. The coal mining troubles have all beeu settled and peace, and let us hope prosperity, will soon prevail all through the mineral regions. -Montgomery Advertiser

Christmas Gifts.

IT0mnn's Work.
Too often the holiday present has but
little of the sweet feeling that should
go with Christmas offerings. No mat
Ter under what obligations one feels to
another, present should not be offer
ed at such time, unless peace ana
good will 90 with it. Ne debts but
those of love should be repaid by gifts
nj Christmas time. If given with any
other feeling. the holy season has been
sacrileeed. Let all obligations be filled
at other seasons, even if those to whom
Won are indebted have not the same
reyerent respect for Christmas time
that YOU feel
All presents should be suited to the
age. station and taste OF the one tor
whom they are intended. Many a one
in receipt of articles utterly useless OF
distasteful, wishes devoutly that a little
thought and discretion had been used
in the selection of gifts which Otter
thoughtless affection prompted. 1t Is
generally easy to find out what most o
orr friends really wish to have Tor SOME
remembrances, and how pleasant 1t
to be able to crafty some wish OF
dear one.
Above all, let love and good Will &C
company everything YOU buy or pre-
pare for the coming Christmas festlvl

lieutenant who was released from
Jail few days ago, will not go
back to Acapulco to join his wife.
Ezeta has summoned him to the

assistance in view Of troublesome

for the Central American republics,
and Ezeta expects to take an ac-

POLITICAL POINTERS.

The withdrawal of Joe Zlzik as a
for Justice OF the peace OF

prise to many of his friends. Joe
had said a month ago that he did
not want the office and preterred to
see his friead Trainor get the place.
There were ttlLree in the race, and
al It now stands Trainor has a de-
cided majority and would no douoU
have been elected, even had nIzik
remained in the race.
1t is said to be a deplorable fact
thai there are great many illegal
registrations made, especially in
the matter Of Mexican citizens.

A Gigantic Undertaking.

Prof. Louis Silico, silver fila
gree artist from Mexico, has located
in San Antonio, and is becoming
rapidly acquainted with our best
society people. He has a grand
idea to construct a fac simile model
of the capitol building, in Wash
ington, out of pure silver, the work
to be done exclusively by his lady
pupils, whom first he will teach the
art of filagree work free Of cost,
and after require each one to
contribute a small bit OF
their work upon the model, to
which he will attach the name OF
earh one upon her particular con-
tribution.
He estimates the model will re-
quire $50 pounds of pure silver and
it's cost will be enormous, but its
value as a work of art will be
much more so.
= The number of inches of filagree
work required to complete the
structure will be over $4,000 and he
estimates it will require from one
and one-half to two years to finish.
A single person working eight
hours a day would consume twelve
wears in the work. The statuary,
bas reliefs, columns, ETC., will be
made in gold, Opaque or oXidized
silver.
Prof. Silicio proposes to begin
with San Antonio, then travel over
the entire state. From Texas he
will endeavor to visit every state
in the Union, in order that each
state may be represented as having
some work in the entire struc-
ture.

plans of the numerous fortified po-
sitions around Briancon, which is
connected by underground galleries
with the town named. Briancon is
a place of the utmost Importance
and especially in view of the posi-
ton of the Italian army. Captain
Dreyfus is said to have supplied
the Italian Government with all
the plans so carefully laid out dur
ing years past for the defence Of
the Alps and which have been
looked upon as forming a COM

ity of an invasion of France from
Italy, and he is also said to have
sold all these plans to Germany
and divulged to Austria and Ger.

when a rough sea was running.
The passengers were aroused by
the shock and rushed in ter
ror upon the deck, where
belts were served out and
preparations were made to low
or the boats. The women pas
sengers and children were first
placed in the boats, but several
boats were capsized while being
lowered. The crew then set to
work constructing RATS and ran
line ashore with great difficulty.
They succeeded in rescuinga mum.
Der of people who otherwise had
been drowned. When the passen-
gers saw the danger in which they
were placed, many pathetic scenes
were witnessed but no panic. 1t
was with the greatest difficulty
the boats were launched, as heavy
seas were continually breaking
over the vessel which was
soon partly submerged, thus rem
dering the work of rescue more
difficult. The life RATS were cut
adrift and by means Of them many
were saved. Others chung to inn
provised RATS until rescued from
the shore.
When the passengers rushed on
deck, many sought refuge on the
bridge of the steamship until the
heavy seas swept number of them
overheard and caused those unable
to find places in the boats or on
RATS to escape to the rigging,
where they remained until day
break.
Many more passengers would
have been drowned had it not been
for the gallantry of seaman, who
swan ashore with line, means
of which stout rope, which was
used later on in the work of rescue,
was hauled ashore. Nearly all the
survivors reached the shore in the
scantiest clothing. Some remained
on the rocks for thirty hours sub
sisting on oranges washed from the
wreck.
When the disaster became known
to the Maoris on land, they launch
ed small boats and succeed in res
cuing a number of people. Assis-
lance was finally obtained from
Port Fitzroy and the survivors Of

An Interesting Talk on Books.

Now that the winter with it's
cold blasts is upon us, the season
of long evenings and pleasant
tiresides, it behooves us to look for
something that will aid us in dis
polling the lonesome hours that
must be passed. A harmless and
instructive mode of doing this is to
avail yourself Of an opportunity
that does not often present it
self,
A reporter for the "LIGHT" hap
pened in to the popular West Com
merce street bookseller, Mr.. Mic
Tengg, and through the courtesy
OF the genial proprietor was shown
the Book Department Of the large
and complete establishment.
"This edition." remarked Mr..
Tengg, sis called the Albion series.
AS you will notice, it is bound in
extra cloth, gold top, Autograph
lining, head banded, the list Of til
ties containing works OF the most
popular authors and we sell these at
% cents each, the publishers price
being one dollar"
"This edition." said Mr.. Tengg
"speaks for ITSELF" as he took down
another lot Of books; sit is called
Allison's Standard Library, is
bound in extra English cloth, the
best of paper, Gold Titles, also a
ribbon book mark with each vol
ume. The publishers price for the
edition Is ONE DOLLAR, while l sell
them at the low price of 40 CENTS.
1t contains works of the most pop
ular authors, such as Dickens,
Dumas, Eliot, Spencer, Wilkie Col
Inns, Jules Verne, and many others
in all, one hundred and fifty-four
separate titles, to select from at 40
cents per book.
"This is called The Silver and
Gold Edition." referring to another
large section of shelf-worn, and
handing a volume to the reporter
be said, "you will notice what a
very handsome book that is bound
in Tree Calf, with silver and gold
and marbled paper sides; each
book boxed separately, at only 90
cents per volume, the publishers
price being one dollar and forty
five cents"
"The silver and gold edition con-
tains the works of all the before
mentioned authors as well as all
the standard works and popular
series of the day. At 30 cents we
should sell the edition within two
days time"
"They are remarkably cheap" said
the reporters" there is certainly no
excuse for illiteracy in this coun-
try. No family or individual
should be without a library with
such low prices to govern its pur-
chase. They should be found in
our schools, public libraries, club
rooms, reading rooms, in fact in all
places where reading matter is
sought after"
