The Queer Order q Woman Gave.

fsOf all the queer persons OF this
queer world, the undertaken, 1 be-
lieve, meets his full quota" 50 Re-
public reporter was told by a man
wearing a funeral expression on his
face and black gloves on his hands,
who came from a small town in q
Western State to attend the meeting
of tile Association of Undertakers.
some of the queer persons is q
wealthy woman who lives in my town.
One day she came into my rooms, and,
IS the tears coursed down her sad
face, she managed to tell me, between
sobs, that she wanted coffin that was
covered with royal purple velvet. l
knew that her husband had been i'll
for some time and was not expected to
live, 80 I began to offer aword OF con-
dolence on account of his death, as
she and her husband were intimate
friends of mine. -:
"'Oh, he is not dead yet sobbed
the woman, 'but I want you to call at
tho house and steal his m MEASURE while
he is asleep. I want a royal purple
velvet coffin, and it may take you sew
eral days to fill the order, ..}.>
sI assured the fearful woman that it
would perhaps be impossible to fill the
order, as had never heard OF q coffin
of any such description ever having
been on the market. She went back
home, and while the order was hang
Ing fire her husband began to grow
better, and in few days was entirely
out of danger. He afterward recov-
cred, and to-day he is strong, health
full man. .
stBut that woman still insists that I
shsll fill the order for royal purple
velvet coffin for her husband, and,
furthermore, she has given me another
order for a royal purple velvet coffin
for herself. On my present trip to
st. Louis, I called at large coffin fac
tory here, and surprised the proprie-
tors by leaving the special and unique
orders to be filed. When the orders
have been filed can't say whether or
not my queer customers will use the
two royal purple velvet cofins as orna-
ments to match the decorations IN

A Lightning Talker.

tits said that singular incident
occurred recently in the stenographer's
gallery of the Hungarian House Of
Representatives. The new member,
Deputy Antunovics, belonging to the
Clerical party, made his maiden speech
with such remarkable yolubility that
one after another of the stenographers
put down their pencils in utter de-
spair at the impossibility Of following
him in his well-memorized effort,
His colleagues listened to him IN
amazement and amid great hilarity.
It Is the first case Of its kind that has
occurred in thirty-four years. This
offers chance for Edison to invent q
phonograph, that can be run at great
speed by electricity, warranted to
catch the fastest talker without ap-
parent necessity for winding up. -

COTTON MILLS MOVE SOUTH.
T. Jefferson Coolidge Says That the
Movement is Natural.

Movement is Natural.
Regarding the removal OF cotton mills to
the South, T. Jefferson Coolidge, Of Boston,
Mass, Secretary OF the Amoskeag Manuiac-
turing Company, says:
"This Southern movement is perfectly
natural. Labor at the South is great deal
lower than In the North, the mills are near
the cotton fields and there is q great saving
dn freight rates. Again. Southern roads
take cotton as fifth class, while Northern
roads take 1t as second and third class, max
Ing big difference then there is great
difference In fuel. Labor IL the great sav-
ing of all. and It is claimed saving OF two
cents per pound can be made. The product
,of the Sout bern mills is sent mostly to Chi
cago and St. Louis.
~ think that Southern mills will increase.
We are hampered here by trade unions,
strikes and legislation. making 1t more diff
cult for US to Manufacture at a profit, and
unless the Legislature OF this State, instead
fof doing all 1t can to injure manufacturers,
turns around and assists than, there Will be
a further loss Of business. Fine goods can
ibe made cheaper in the South as we'll as
coarse goods. It Is claimed that Southern
Operatives are not az skilled as Northern
operatives, and that it takes too long to ed
iucate them, but this is false. Southern op-
lerattves are just as good In every respect,
and IT 3 only question OF time when fine
goods will be made In the South"
The New England mills that now antlci-
pate building in the South are the Massa-
achusetts, Bott, Dwight, Msrrimao and
Whittier mills.

MAKING ANTI-TOXINE.
Consul Mason Reports on the Great
Diphtherta Cure.

Diphtheria Cure.
Frank Mason, United States Consul at
Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany, has SUBJ
mitted to the Department OF State an inter-
esting report on anti-toxine. At Frankfort
is located the only establishment where it
has been produced commercially in quanti-
ties adequate to meet the rapidly increasing
demand.
The establishment utilizes the blood OF
seyenty-six horses and has trained corps
of more than fifty men employed in this one
work, producing at present about 20oo
doses per day, and by tho end OF this month
1t will supply any demand. 1t is absolutely
requisite that the horses be young, vigor-
Gus and physically perfect. Every new
horse is carefully Isolated for time to test
for inherent disease, however slight, that
might be transmitted to the human Body.
A surprising quantity OF blood can be drawn
from strong, healthy horse, running up to
ten liters Oils pints) in two days, and one
horse was used for four years and fs
still in good condition. The anti-toxine
improves with age, at leasr dur
ing the first two months, and the German
physicians no longer use 1t fresh, when 1t
Is apt to cause skin eruption. An early
application, however, is Of the utmost I'M
portance. In seventy-two cases OF children
treated within two lays Of the first appear
ance of diphtheria but two cases were fatal,
and the death rate In such cases Is placed at
four per cent.

GFuruace, as a Town Name.

sFurnace" is a geographical name
not unusual in the Atlantic coast re-
pion Just below Mason and Dixon's
line. In many instances the actual
furnace Is a mere tradition, but sixty
OF seventy years ago many such fur
naces were built to smelt the bog iron
ore usual in all that region. 1t was
once profitable to smelt this ore, but
the marvellous abundance and cheap
ness of iron deposits elsewhere have
made it impossible to carry on the OLD
furnaces.- York Sun.
