JOKING WITH GRIM DEATH.
The GrewsOme CarOusaIs That Take
Place at the Cafe de Ia Mort.

From the New York Recorder.
Paris, that ever-interesting city, has
again put itself on record, this time in
having taken a step forward in the mat
ter of 'outre cafe"
The Cafe de la Mort was opened few
months ago, but only recently has it at
tracted much attention. 1t is situated
two blocks from the Moulin Rouge, that
stamping-ground of Venus and Bacchus,
at "a Boulevard Montmaitre.
The outside of this extraordinary cafe
IS curious in itself. 1t is a small 2-story
brick structure, the front of which, in
imitation of the decorations customarily
used on a French church during a flu
neral is draped with black portieres with
WHITE trimmings. Entrance is obtained
through slit in the curtains.

along the walls are painted red devils

Tiers composed of human bones holding
small oil lamps, which diffuse a dim
ana CHASTITY light upon human skeletons
whose hollow, sightless skulls grin at one
from every side. There are six or eight
OF these skeletons, arranged in fantastic
attitudes around the walls, some erect
others seated. Placed about the room are
tables made OF polished pine coffins about
which hustle the walters, who are dress
ed as undertakers in long, somber gray
clothes. "Garcon" gives place to "fosso-
yeur."
Around the tables are seated men of all

FACTS ABOUT COTTON.
The Money II Has Brought Into the
south in Nineteen Years.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
A study of the crop figures win show
that seven years successfully increasing
crops from 1856 to 1912 were unprece-
dented in the history Of trade. 1t is doubt
full if any leading crop raised can show
such an unbroken increase for seven
years. Jumping from 5,700,0U0 bales in 1856
G. there was practically no halting until
1872, when the yield was 9O35 900 bales,
a gain of $4,000 bales, or nearly 90 per
cent. advance in seven years.
IN nineteen years cotton has brought
the south over 5000, O00, O00-a sum, so
vast that the profits out of il ought to
nave been enough to greatly enrich that
section Unfortunately. however. the syS-
TEN necessitated by the conditions pre-
vailing Immediately after the war Of rails
ing cotton only and buying grain and
provisions in the west. left at home but
httle, II any, surplus money out of the
cotton crop. The west and north drained
Ihat section of several hundred million
dollars every year, because il depended
upon them for all its manufactured goods
as well as for the bulk Of ITS food stuffs
Hence. of the enormous amount re-
ceiVed from cotton, very little remained
IN Inc south. The increase in the DIVERSE
cation of farm products, the raising of
home supplies the development of truck
ing, and the building of factories are all
uniting TO keep at home the money which
formerly went north and west. Whether
the cotton raiser himself be getting the
run dement, OF this or not, the south at
large is necessarily doing So The in
crease in the attention given to grain cul-
uVatlon IS illustrated by the fact that the
south's grain crop of 1894 was Gil 900 coo
bushels, valued at $302 100000. or more
than the value of its entire cotton crop.
and the yield for 1875 will probably et-
coed these figures by at least $4,000. 600
bushels.
The Importance of cotton in our foreign
trade relations can be realized from the
simple statement that since 1875 our ex-
ports OF this staple have aggregated in
value $i,0OO000O00, while the total exports
OF wheat and flour combined for the same
period have been about 81 600 600 600
showing a difference of 81 400 0OO, 900. or
over so per cent. in favor of cotton. More
over, during the same period, we have ex-
ported about S20000.00O of manufactured
cotton goods, making the total value real
~ A,2O0OOOOgO. Compared with the exports
OF wheat, flour and corn combined-tbe
value of which since 1875 has been about
-, 2UO,6OOO0-there is a difference in favor
of cotton of 81 100000. 600
Going back to 1920, it is found that the
total value of flour and wheat exported
Ior the last seventy-fOur years is in round
figures, Sl,000,000 900, of S26OO 900 less than
me value OF the cotton exported during
Inc last nineteen years.

THURMAN IN THE SENATE.
RecOIIectiOns of His Bandannn ana
What Its Flourish Indicated.

From the Washington Star.
There is no personality more pronounce
ed and more indelibly stamped on the
memory OF every one about the Senate
whose recollections goes back for a couple
of decades than that of Allen G. Thur
man. The "old Roman" and his red ban
danna are recalled vividly. His outspok-
en- manner, vigor in debate love of his
friends and more especially his fondness
for his ablest antagonists in the Senate.
his mastery command of English and
clear conception Of legal questions were
all pronounced.
Mr.. Thurman, when in the Senate. had
the desk now occupied by Mr.. Faulkner,
the fourth seat from the center aisle in
the third row on the democratic side OF
the chamber. Perhaps more conspicuous
than any other of his antagonists was
senator EdmundS, and If any legal uues-
ton coming before the Senate had two
sides they were sure to line upon il in
opposition. They were lawyers of the
highest grade, and when they came in
contact it was Greek against Greek
When the odd Roman" made use of his
bandanna it was with the sound of a fog
horn, and 1t either portended a fray or
was accepted as a signal for something
unusual to happen. The fog horn never
blew without causing Edmunds to look
up hastily TO see what was coming and
on the other hand, the senator from Yer
mont never addressed the president of
the Senate without attracting the eve of
Mr. Thurman. Generally, after the two
had been pitted against each other ON
some legal question they would as if bv
a mutual understanding, start for the
rear OF the chamber. there meet and seek
seclusion in the cloak room or a commit

old organ, while directly opposite the en-
trance is a platform draped in black,
upon which, set up perpendicularly stands
an ebony coffin. Here also the walls are
painted in imitation of masonry, with an
assortment of Mephistos angels painted
on background of flame
AS the visitors take their seats one OF
the TWO monks who conduct the ceremony
asks who is it that is ready and prepared
10 die. Upon the expression of such de-
sire one is led to the coffin, placed therein
ana covered, all except his face with a
white sheet. The lights are turned low,
almost eXtinguished, and the wheezy old
organ begins to pour forth a most melan-
choly dirge. A phoSphorescent effect ap-
pears about the coffin, while faint streaks
OF hght are visible on the figure inside.
The monks are chanting in a werd jar
gon. Gradually and imperceptibly the
Dones OF human skeleton appear. The hui
man face becomes less distinct, the skel-
eton more clear. The illusion is perfect,
startling. The mans head has suddenly
turned into grinning skull In the coffin
nothlng remains except a skeleton.
Presently the lights are turned up and
the ghastly apparition disappears, while
from out the coffin walks the man who
mas contributed the amusement to MS
morbid friends. He has seen nothing of the
skeleton into which he was transformed,
but could vaguely see the audience, 10
whom, owing to the Illusion he was in
visible. Needless to say, the transforms
ton is effected by the use of a concealed
stereopticon. Such is the domain OF
This room is connected with another by
narrow passage. The latter room, be-
ing furnished in a less impressive style,
IS somewhat more endurable than the
others. There are rows of long benches
across one end, while at the other is
low, curtained platform. Here a per-
torrance is conducted. Tricks sleight-
of-hand performances and dancing gen
orally comprise the programme. The exit
from this room is through passage SINH
lar to the entrance, which leads back INTO
the main room of the cafe.
The proprietor is a little Frenchman
who seems to have entered thoroughly
into the spirit of the place and his under
taking. That he is making money out OF
his chamber of horrors is unquestionable.
The strangest thing is that, besides the
usual throng OF curious sightseers, hs
has large number of regular customers
whose morbid fancies are attracted by jhe
place. They assemble night after nign5
drink at the coffin tables, and laugh anss
chat, as If 1T was the most ordinary Y.

MIR. BERRY's SLEEPY HENS.
They Rode Seventeen Miles on n

From the Portland Press.
Linn Berry has a big chicken farm in
West Buxton, and has several hundred
hens. He brings many eggs and chickens
dead and dressed) to Portland.
He loads his wagon the night before
and starts at a. m. He has only to hitch
up the horses and drive off
He did so one morning recently. IT is
drive of seventeen miles to this citv He
reached here at just about sunrise
AS he approached the United States ho-
tel to deliver some produce. some one
shouted at him and asked if he brought
his hens to market roosting on the cross
bar under the wagon. He paid no atten-
ton, supposing the man was guyine him
But when he stopped at the hotel and
others called his attention to four hens
roosting under the wagon, and lust wax
ing up, it is doubtful which was the most
astonished, Mr.. Berry or the hens.
Two of the latter were panic-stricken
and started down Federal street one
was caught on Temple street and The
other got down almost to Exchange street
before il was captured. The cook at the
hotel bought the four hens for 81 and took
them home.
How many hens We're asleep under the
wagon when Mr.. Berry started from home
he can't tell, because his yard is overr1n
with hens, but il is very possible that
there We're more than four
