Cotton Spinning in the South.

The rapid increase of cotton manu-
featuring in the south, says the Louis
vile Courier Journal, Is one of the most
encourag ing evidences of growth in that
section. The south led again last year
in the erection of textile mills, North
Carolina standing at the head of the list
and South Carolina not being far be-
hind. We have witnessed the same re-
markable progress here in the Ohio val
ley, where the cotton manufacturing in
terests have more than doubled within
the past ten years. All these mills are
making large profits and are bound to
continue doing SO. Few people outside
the trade understand how remunerative
they are. A recent interview with Judge
Il. Fillmore, which appeared in the
American Wool and Cotton Reporter,
will open their eyes. Said he:
..,The figures seem almost incredible,
and / would never have believed in their
accuracy If l had not visited the mills
myself, inspected them and got the fig

ed integrity. / will cite the case of Mr..

Raising Trout.

Popular Science Monthly.
In the early days of fish culture,
which for many years was only trout
culture, the statement was often made
that any farmer who had small
spring of cool water could, within
few years, realize enormous profits
from it, and that an acre of water was
worth more than an acre of land.
Those Of us who went into the bust.
ness quarter of a century ago found
much to learn. and many dropped out
discouraged. The writer bought farm
in Monroe county, N. Y, in 1868, and
made ponds below fine spring; and
after some failures, due to ignorance
for there was then no literature of tho
subject he began to succeed in rails
ing many fish, only to find, after rails
ing them, that they had cost more than
they were worth, because there was no
available food near and it required
man 10 drive II miles to the city of
Rochester twice or more per week for
food. To-day we know that something
more than good spring of cold water
of about 80 degrees f. is necessary,
and also that some acres of water may
be worth more than some land, but
that 60 many local and other condI-
tions enter into the calculation that,
AS a general statement, the comparison
is not true. To-day there are several
successful trout farms where the fish
are raised for market at profit, and
in all of them there are largs, never
failing springs of cool water and cheap
food, as well as intelligent manage
ment. There are other important con
sideratioDs in choosing the location of
trout farm, such as proper amount
Of fall to the water in order to control
it and give il aeration between the
ponds and formation that will allow
all surface water to be led aside and
not to enter the ponds. "A sudden thaw
with frozen ground may destroy the
work Of years, and in summer the sur
face water brings leaves and trash
which clog screens and either burst or
overflow them.

Tho recent accidentto the steamer
Misspula tends to show more clearly
than anything that has occurred the
vast area of Lake Superior, and the
possibility of vessels crew reaching
land after shipwreck and yet being un-
heard OF for a couple OF weeks after
starting on voyage.
The shores OF Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota on the big lake are
traversed by railways and telegraph
lines, and the towns and small settle
ments on the American side of the
lake, even to the islands, furnish ready
means of communication with the
larger cities; but not so on that part
OF the Canadian shore north Of the
lakes, where a wilderness inhabited by
few fishermen and Italians exists,
says the Detroit Free Press. This is
especially true Of the Canadian shore

and was rendered helpless she was less

the course down toward Sault Ste.
Marie. She was somewhat off the regu.
lar course of vessels bound down from

her out OF the course of even the few
vessels trading to Canadian ports at
the head Of the lakes and she was
working over toward the widest part
of the Canadian north shore territory
when her crew was compelled to aban-
don her.

Nursery Repasts u Very Sensible Custom for
Little Folks.
The idea Of nursery dining room or
table is not popular among any but the
wealthy classes in this country, and
yet it has much to recommend it.
While it is true that child should
have its meals with its parents often
from the time he is able to eat ordi-
nary food, it is nevertheless true that
there are meals which it is to the
mutual advantage of child and parents
for him to eat separately.
Breakfast usually contains enough
simple dishes to mako it proper meal
for u child to attend. Luncheon should
be his dinner. and he should lunch
with the family unless there are guests.
But the family dinner should not be a
meal for young children. They should
have hearty, but less stimulating
meal at about d. 30 p. M, in the nur-
sery, for they should be sent to bed at
the time the family is dining at
about 7. Their evening meal may be
superintended by their mother, who
will thus be able to influence their
table manners, but they should not be
allowed stimulating food and society
Just before their bedtime.

TO ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
A New Years Greeting.

Full charged with wars unhesitating cry
The wild west wind upon our mountains
fell;
Through the loud roar of mid-Atlantlc
swell
saw the phantom ships of wrath sweep by
With threat for England's island .sover-
said, What seer such portent right may
spell ~
But the storm passed-light broke-and
all was well;
The plague of hate was blown from out the
sky.
Men breathed more wholesome air; the sun
with cheer
Rose eastward; west, upon tranquil
main,
Stars mildly beamed; and as with joy
Stands stoutlier-hearted for the tempest
strain,
In calm the nations met the glad New Year,
And felt tirmlier-rooted brotherhood.
The above sonnet, by the Rev. II. d.
Rawnsley, Vicar of Keswick, elected
the following letter from tho venerable
Dr. Martineau:
Dear Mr.. Rawnsley: Accept, with
our best wishes for the new year, my
warmest thanks for your picturesque
and great hearted sonnet In spite of
heavy clouds that chill the air and
overhang the landscape of our national
future, | share your preponderant trust
in the fulfilment of your bright pre-

Recently the Board of Park Commits
sioners considered the advisability of
having printed a report, and accord.
ingly two or three months ago Sunerin-
tendent Theodore A. Lesen was in
structed to prepare one.
AS no previous report had been
issued, the engineer had all of the past
history of the Park Commission to
draw. on for material. That carried
him back TO 1888, when the commits
sion came into existence, but he went
back even farther than that. He pre-
sented the result of his work at the
last meeting of the Park Commission.
His earliest reference in the history is
back in the sixties, before Wilmington
had any public parks, and thence he
brings the narrative up to the first OF
the present year. 1t was turned over
to the executive committee, so that
the members of the commission may
look over it. Eventually it may be
