The object of the Chambers Furni-
ture Mfg. Co. is the manufacture and
sale of furniture in general, but more
particularly the Bedsteads and Kitch-
en- Cabinets under patents owned and
controlled by Messrs. Chambers and
McCroskey.
1t is needless to enter into the de-
tails of the advantages these :partic-
ular articles OF furniture have over
those Of any other that have been
placed before the purchasing public.
We do net see why they cannot be
manufactured here at MaryviIle, as
cheap as the furniture manufactured
at Grand Rapids, Michigan, for we
have natural advantages which the
above named place does not enjoy
and the factory has been paying all
the way from twenty to sixty-fve
percent upon the capital invested.
The laborer here can work all the
year round, for this reason labor is
much cheaper. The cost of produc-
ton is considerably less on account
of the close proximity Of the very
frest kind of furniture wood, and
with the natural growth of the
South which will give us a home mar
ket, there is no reason why the man
ufacture Of furniture should not
pecome the most permanent and i'm.
portant industry at this place, with
an unlimited supply of furniture wood
and marble in the immediate neigh.
borhood. One Of the great feature.
of this country is that the eyes Of cap
italists all over the world have beer
turned to the great South. Southern
pluck united with northern enterpris,
and capital will find this a magnih
cent locality for manufacturin,
town, place bound to grow, and l
one of the healthlest, finest, and mos
desirable situations in the entir
South.
Capitalists have the western farme
. so mortgaged that there is no chanc
for further investment in that part c
4 the United States. The next decad
/, will see the best blood and brain {
! the foreign investor commingling wit
. that Of the northern Capitalist invat
ing the fields of the South to see
4 fame and fortune, for the South, i

bedstead combines increased durabll.
ity, ease Of manipulation, and can be
easily taken apart and put togather
again without disturbing the Stats,
springs, or mattress and coverings
should the bed happen to be made
up. In other words the invention
consists Of a frame supporting The
above mentioned parts, and also ne
bedstead frame, which in this instance
simply acts as an ornament, the in
ner frame being supported by separate
and independent legs at its corners.
By this means the usual side rails are
relieved Of all strain and there is no
possible chance OF the Stats slipping
from groves in said side pieces, as
they rest entirely upon, and overlap
the inner frame, this preventing the
very unpleasant experience OF being
suddenly dropped upon the floor
during the small hours of the night,
or OF having an alternate ridge and
hollow formed in the mattress by the
sudden dropping of one or more Stats,
The upper end Of the independent
posts are biffurcated to receive the
lower ends of the head and foot boards,
and the head and foot boards are still
further supported by the side boards
or rails which fit within dove. tailec
recesses, and after being fitted, arr
locked by a suitable turn buttor
which holds the stead solidly togather

which when drawn out, is to set tn

SLEEP RefcRM.
Tho Man Who Tried 1t and tbs Wsy
1t Worked.

Col. Henry Watterson, who is a!
J present l%ecturing in the larger cities,
! tells q story of an old compositor,
whose life had been given up to hard
work and the following of eccentric
ideas, one of which was that tho
human race slept too much. He had
several theories to advance In sup
port Of his idea, one of them being 20
cut down the usual number of sleep
Ing hours by graduation and finally
arrive at o state where, by practice,
one would be satisfied with q much
smaller amount of sleep than one was
getting.
To show his confidence In his
theory he began to practice the new
idea ae follows: He usually slept
nine hours. He explained that
he would cut this down a half
hour for each week that passed
until he had reduced his number OF
sleeping hours to two, which he
claimed vas all that was needed by
anyone.
The time vent by and the old fell
low bad kept to his rule laid down
and finally reached the two-hour
time.
He went along for several weeks
sleeping but two hours daily, devot-
ing the time gained in reading and
advocating his idea. While there
was a noticeable decrease in his
weight, he seemed to stand 1t very
we'll.
Then he began to talk Of further
reducing the time, and, when en-
thusiastic. talked of the possibility
Of n doing without sleep entirely.
He set type and was an old hand
on the paper. One morning, about
three weeks after he had reached his
low sleeping mark, the compositor
at the case next to his noticed the
old mar had dropped his h cad upon
his arms that were folded over the
case. 1t was near quitting time.
All the forms we're up and the old
chap was not disturbed. He had
gone to sleep. The office was soon
deserted with the exception of the
j~anitor and the sleeper. The j~anitor
was instructed not to bother him.
The next day when the first man
arrived he was still sleeping as they
had left him and snoring so hard
that be Jared the type In the case
on which he rested.
Some n told his wife where he
was and she concluded to let him
sleep.
He slept on in hat position for
twenty hours. Then they carried
him to q bed at home, still sleeping.
He slept for thirty-two hours, and
when he woke up he had for
gotten how to set type and had to
learn to read again, although his
memory was good in other respects.
Col. Watterson Uses the story as a
smile for a political situation, which
he enlarges upon IN select circles

PROSPERITY IN THE SOUTH.
The Baltimore Manufacturers
Record says:

The Baltimore Manufacturers
Record says:
Alabama is shipping iron pipe
and pig iron to Boston. Boston
is sending money to Alabama to
build two large cotton mills, one
at Admission and one at Cordova.
Thus the good work goes on.
The South is steadily expanding
its industrial interests, pushing,
it's finished product into North
ern and foreign markets, and
New England, seeing the oppor>
tunity for profitable investment,
is putting it's money into this
section. Despite politics, the
South goes steadily along. What
an advance there will be when
business once more becomes
active throughout the country.
Since 1891 we have been passing
through a periodical depression
that, judged by all the past,
must give way to prosperity in
1897. If the South has done SO
much during this time of depres~
sion, what may we not expect
when prosperity comes AGAIN."
There is undoubtedly an era of
prosperity just ahead, and it will
come as soon as political condi>
tions are settled. The cotton
mills of the world have about ex-
hausted their surplus stock of
cotton and the 1eecy staple
promises to be in active demand;
the South is producing it's own
food supply and does not have to
buy it on a credit from the West;
Southern furnaces and foundries,
which have been able to continue
in operation during the depres-
sion and make a small profit.
will reap a larger benefit when
better times come; a vast amo unit
of money promises to be expend-
ed in Southern construction
work, building new cotton mills,
equipping and renewing rail
roads, and otherwise. When
genuine prosperity does come
the South will be in a position to
reap the largest share of it of
any section.

Kerr street in that city.
Some years ago his wife noticed a
small 1umpin her breast. She thought
nothing of it, but it increased in size
rapidly, and soon broke through the
skin and commenced to discharge.
She was at once put under treatment
of the best physicians, but they very
soon found that they could do her no
good, and simply prescribed a~ntiseptics
to keep the place clear Both her
grandmother and aunt, by the way,
had died with cancer, and when APP
prised of this fact the doctors said that
they would not attempt to save her;
that she was incurab1e. Although the
cancer had by this time become deep

the most noted specialists of New York
treated her. After treating her
awhile, this doctor admitted hat the

INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.

The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue has just submitted to
Secretary Carlisle a preliminary
report of the operations of his
bureau for the fiscal year ended
June 80. II shows that the re-
ceipts fl ON all sources Of inter
nal revenue for the year aggre-
gated $146. $50, 615. all increase
of So, 584, 537 ovel the receipts Of
the proceeding fiscal year. The
report also shows a reduction of
Is per cent, as compared with
the proceeding fiscal year in the
cost of collection. Tobacco
brought in a revenue of $50, I'll,
500, or 81, 006, 721 more than was
derived from his source in the
preceding year. There was a
general increase of all items un-
der this head. From spirits the
receipts were $50. $40, O70, an in
crease of 1907, 443. From fer
vented liquors there were de
rived taxes aggregating S33.-
784, 235, or 50, 143. 617 more than
during the preceding year. The
increase in taxes for beer. ale
and similar liquors was So, $685.
826. There was a falling off of
S189, 778 in the taxes realized
from oleomargarine, while mis-
cellaneous receipts diminished

The showing on the whole,
when the general condition of
business is considered, is very
satisfactory. 1t evidences an in~
crease in business. despite hard

ENORMOUS PREGLACIAL RIVER,

Biologists Tell of Ono Which In Olden
Times Existed IN Northern Canada
The largest river of any age Of which
there is any evidence in the world, ac-
cording to a remarkable geological dis
covery reported to the Royal society Of
Canada recently, was a great pregla-
cial river in northern Canada. DR..
Robert Bell, who produced scientific
evidence of the correctness of his dis
covery, pointed out that it was general
" admitted by biologists that the con-
tinent of North America Immediately
before the glacial period stood at a
much higher elevation than at the
present time, amounting to, perhaps,
between two and three thousand feet.
The inevitable result of this must have
been to change the river systems from
what they now are, and to create in
the north a gigantic river draining an
area of over one-third of the entire con-
tinent Of North America, and forming
a drainage basin seven times as large
as that of the st. Lawrence.
The central portion of the great river
was in the middle of what is now Hud-
son bay, as proved by the existing de-
pressions of land in the north of Can
ada and n great depth of the center
of Hudson bay. Its lower part dis
charged through what Is now Hudson
straits into Davis straits. 1t is also
maintained that the upper half of the
st. Lawrence basin, both in preglacial
times and also at a later geological Pc
Rod, discharged it's waters northward
by way Of what is now Hudson bay. It
is. asserted that this constituted one of
the main branches of this great north
ern river. Other large branches were
the present Saskatchewan, the Nelson
river, which rises north of the Rocky
mountains, the Churchill, largely aug
mented by the reversal Of some of the
upper rivers of the Mackenzie basin,
and great tributary streams that came
down the present Churchill inlet, Fox
chnnnel and Ungava bay, any one Of
which must have fully equaled in size
the Mississippi of on1 own day.
