The Manufacturers'R Record, of Bal
timore, has issued a special cotton
mill edition that presents in a very
striking manner the wonderful in
crease in the number of cotton mills
being built in the South and the in
creased activity at present attending
this industry. Statistics are given
showing the number of mills under
construction and all the many fea-
lures peculiarly favorable to the
industry in the South are reviewed
at length. This is by far the most
exhaustive treatment of the subject
that his yet appeared, and can but
result in good to the South, as it will
be given the widest possible circula-
ton in this country and in Europe.

forests in order to secure material for
railroad ties is made in report issued
by the agricultural department at Wash

and preservative processes and metal tie
plates for wooden ties. It shows that
about 20 per cent Of the railroad mile
age of the world, outside of the United
States and Canada. is laid ON metal. In
the United States little practical prog
ress in metal ties is reported. The pro-

When he was chosen president Of Colum-

He was born in 1850, and his father was

CURIOUS WEDDING CUSTOMS.
Some Odd Phases Of Social Life In North
ern Michigan.

Many curious customs are in vogue
among the foreign population Of north
ern Michigan, especially in social mat
ters When a French couple get mar
ried, carriage or a:sleigh ride is in
evitable, according to the season of tho
year. The couples are not packed to-
gether in one wagon or sleigh, but each
fellow and his girl have an individual
rig, the bride and groom taking the lead
and the others following like funeral
procession, but there is nothing funereal
about it, especially the pace set After
the procession has been riding for hours,
a dance ends the festivities.
The Polanders have o curious we'd
ding cnstom that is very ingenious az a
money getter, and takes the place Of
wedding presents After the wedding
feast follows dance that sometimes
lasts 10 to IA hours, and even longer.
The chief honor is to dance with the
bride, and this is decided in curious
manner. The mother Of the bride takes.
her place in one corner with plate in
her lap, which she takes very good care
shall be built after the plan of an eat
ing house coffee cup. The gallant who
wants to dance with the bride, and all
are in honor bound to do SO at least
once, must pull ont a piece Of silver and
endeavor to chip or break the plate by
throwing their money upon it, and only
those who succeed in chipping or break
ing the plate are allowed the coveted
honor. Let those who think it easy to
break an ironstone plate try it. Few
succeed in doing it for less than 30
cents, and it is not an unusual thing for
the BRIDES money to amount up to $75
or 800, even where the crowd is ap-
parently as poor as church mouse. and
It may go even higher when the bride is
pretty and popular. All the money goes
/ to the bride, and in backwoods coun-
try $50 to $75 will start a happy couple

The telegraph service of Great Britain

and cheaper than that Of the United
States. / make this statement after
proper allowance Of the differences in
distances. It costs lax cents for IL
words and cent for every additional
word. This for Great Britain and Ire

II works admirably. as nearly all the
postoiiices are also telegraph offices. As
rule, the people are civil and obliging,
and the delivery of messages more
prompt than with us.
These postoffices, which include, as q
rule, news stands and stationers shops,
are scattered all over the city, especial
" in London, and one has no such trou-
BILE in getting postofflce orders postal
notes, stamps, eto., as Is too often the
case in New York.
Another great advantage OF the Brit
ish system is that there is no such thing
as sending messages 'scollect You can
prepay an answer to telegram, and the
boy brings up blank with the telegram
when an answer has been paid for.
Again. if you write to any one and

.TooK The WRONG. MEDICINE"
Why This Headline So Often Appears In
the Daily Newspapers.


It is an odd trait in human nature
that man who has been ordered by his
physician to take paregoric will never
take it if there is any oarbolio acid or
prussio acid in the house that he can
absorb in preference.
Statisticians who have studied the
thing declare that an invalid will search
the whole house for poisonous drug
and drink it rather than the medicine
ordered by the doctor. The death DO
tioes in the newspapers in cases OF that
kind are generally headed. Took the
Wrong Medicine. :" n
A man arrived at his home the other
evening, and glancing on the bureau
saw bottle of liquid that he had heen
ordered by the doctor to take.
''That looks like the stuff, said he,
shut I'm not sure. As was locking up
the cellar I saw behind an old shelf q
blue bottle that looked as If it hadn .
been touched for years. 1t said ON 1t,
sSulphurio Acid Now that bottle en-
the table looks exactly like the one !
drank out of last night, but still have
an idea that the stuff down in the cellar
is what the doctor means for me. ]
don't know how the dickens it got down
there when it's meant for me to take,
or how this bottle that isn't meant for
me to take got on this bureau. But I'm
not going to take any chances. I'll just
20 down into the cellar and make sure,
and I'll throw this stuff ont Of the win
dow.
Then he cautiously went down stairs
and took the sulphurio acid. and he
was buried in due form after an ambu-
lance surgeon had done his best and the
coroner's physician had made CON-
plete investigation and autopsy.
1t isn't only children who make these
blunders. Doctors will tell you that they
have only to label bottle Lotion, For
External Application Only, to make
sure of its being drunk. If a patient
gets o bottle of corrosive sublimate to
put on a felon on his great toe and
doesn't use it all, he will carefully save
1t. Ten years afterward doctor gives
some cough mixture to him, and then he
goes and hunts up the corrosive subli
mate bottle, plays three card monte witt
it and the cough mixture, gets then
thoroughly mixed up SO that he can t tel
one from the other, and then when b,
