Iron and Cotton Twines.

MT. HenrysF. DeBardeleben has many original ideas. He proposes to build a cotton mill near his coke ovens and util- ize the gas escaping from the ovens to operate the mill. A vast amount of vola- tile matter escapes from the coke ovens. It does no good except to kill the germs of disease that may perhaps be lurking in the atmosphere. This is a mere hy- gienic benefit at best. MT. DeBardeleben proposes to use this truant servant more practically. That he will succeed no one doubts He is thoroughly familiar with cotton mills and cotton mill machinery, having been connected with the Pratt gin works in Prattville when a younger man. He also thoroughly understands a furnace. He Is the man above all others to unite tha strong and manly furnace with its bride clad in white--the cotton mill

THE IDEAL PLACE
Is Birmingham for the Location of Cotton Factories-The Advantages Are
 Manifold.

The freight per bale of cotton from the south to the east is $5 This freight is paid, the cotton from the south is spun and woven by eastern mills, and the cloth is shipped back to the south. The southern people have been paying freight both ways. Now that cotton mills are being built in the south, this freight is saved to the consumer. The south is the proper place for cotton mills because it is near the raw material And then 1t is nearer Centraband South America, which buy large quantities of cotton goods from the United States. g.
 The south generally offers superior in ducements to cotton mills, but the Bir- mingham district offers inducements that cannot be equaled by any other part of the south, Here we are between the long staple cotton of the black belt and The short staple of Sand mountain. Either staple can be obtained quickly and at small cost. Birmingham is a considerable cotton market, receiving 75,000 bales per annum, enough to run several cotton mills. The cheap labor so desirable in cotton manufacturfng Is found in abun- dance in Birmingham. The men fnd work in the iron industries, but there is no industry of any magnitude affording work to girls and women. The women in the families of the workers in the mines and furnaces can afford to work for 50 cents a day. because their hus- bands and fathers make good wages. The operatives in the eastern mills get at least $1 a day. In a mill employing 200 hands this is saving of $100 a day quite an item in the course of year. Coal can be obtained cheaper here than in the east. Coal can be bought for $1 a ton while Tn the east 1t cost g ton. This is another great saving.
 The days are longer here, and the mill can be run ten hours by daylight. In the east the lighting of the mill Is a

Ihope the day is not far distant when mothers will consider the real interest of their children, and use Castoria in stead of the variousquack nostrums which are destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful agents down their throats, thereby sending them to premature graves"

POETR u.
THE POET TO HIS CAT.

Tuck in thy toes, prick up thine ears,
Assume IA listening attitude,
And will tell thee, happy cat.
The tale ut thy hcntltudC,
And when I've told thee all the truth
just rub my hand in gratitude.
What hast thou to be thankful for
Besides thy far famed fatitudcH
Thou rOamCst free, with ample room,
Not housed in cramping latitude,
And thou hast beds luxurious
On couch and chair and matitude--
Beds which but for thy hairs would b
Adorned with ueatcst Multitude.
Thy days are passed in QuietncSs,
CntCascd by brawling Gratitude,
Nor CvcH are thy nerves outworn
BY steady stream of Gratitude.
Simple thy clothing, happy cat,
Unvexed by styles in latitude.
Well mayst thou pity other cats,
Harried and worn by sCatitude,
For friendly hands are stroking thee
With touch of gentle patitudc,
And never once has cruelty
Stirred thee 10 pitapatitudc.
Noble cat pleasures fill thy life
And swell To high ccstatitude.
Thou mUctCst oft thy catfish kind
And joins in feline spatitude,
And when tho fClinUs go for thee
Thou giv'st them titfortatitude,
And in the house thou mak'st thy boast
OF collars cleared of ratitude.
Let other cats their homes desert
In folly blind IA latitude.
Thoult never seek divorce from thine
On grounds of incompatitude.
Now, cat, I've told thee all thy lot
OF happy this and thatitude,
And l expect 70 see in thee
Apprcciative CatitudC.

An Auction Exnerience.

Not long ago there was a sale in
Washington of the effects of the Histo-
rian Bancroft. One of the ladies in
Washington who is welded to Washing
ton ideals and associations wanted a
desk which had been the historians for
the associations surrounding it. She is
wealthy and was determined to have
that desk If money could get it. Intrin-
sically it was worth very little, but that
was no reason why she would not bid
high on the desk. The day of the sale
she was too i'll to 60, and 80 she sent
her daughter, with instructions to bring
home the desk, and told her to bid as
high as 500 for it. The daughter went
early to the sale, secured seat near the
coveted desk and waited until it was
put mp for sale. Then she began to bid
for it along with several others. When
| the price reached about $40, everybody
! dropped ont except the young lady and
| some one over near the door Every
| time the lady bid there was an advance
from the unknown bidder until he price
had mounted up to 500.
Knowing that her mother wanted the
desk, bat fearing that some one was
bidding against her for the sake of get
ting more E!Uncy-a sort of straw bid
der, as ii were-she advanced the bid
two or three times while she was en-
deavG:ing to move around to the door
to see who her unknown competitor
was. The price had reached $ll5, the
last bid being made by the unknown
just as the young lady reached the spot
Much to her surprise she found her
mother to DO her rival. The elder lady
feared her daughter would not secure
the desk and came herself to purchase
II, and here these two had been bidding
against each other all the time. 1t is
needless to add that the family got the
