New York Owns the South.

The Louisville and Nashville system
owned by Northern men, possesses
about 1000 square miles Of land in
west Florida, about soc, 600 acres Of
which are covered with pine and cy-
press. While the pine as it stands
and the land under it could probably
be purchased for SIS, 900, 900, it is esti-
mated to cut in lumber the enormous
amount Of sixteen billions, four hun
dred millions of feet, valued at $685.
315, 900. The Northern capitalists cut
in the ;hree States about 500, 600, coo
feet of lumber annually, sold at mar
ket rates for about 100000 Pen
s%acola, alone, ships 300, 000, 900 feet
annually to Europe and soastwise.
The Hunts Bros, bankers of this
city, own vast tracts Of Texas lands
including the site of Sabine Pass, har-
Dor and general outlet Of southwestern
Texas. In the vicinity are several
thousand square miles Of pine on
ranch lands owned by these and other
New Workers.
The Hamilton Disston land COM
pany, of Philadelphia, WINS over s.
600 square miles Of Southern Florida,
all of which it reclaimed from a swamp
condition, and is likely to acquire
double that area. This includes 365
miles of inland navigation, Lake Okee-
chobee, Of 1000 square miles. Its
drainage operations in this section
have been unparalleled in the history
of the world, and is some day to
include the great everglade region,
comprising nearly 1000 square miles.
The Brownings are Wne of i'm
mense tracts Of Southern lands and
have projected and constructed rail-
ways on a large scale.
Birmingham, Decatur, Admission,
and other cities Of the great South
mineral belt are practically owned by
the Northern men.
It is estimated that Hetty Green
has $40, 600, 900 invested in Southern
railways. John 81. Inman is credited
with over half that sum in Southern
enterprises. MI. Flagler, of the Stand
ard Oil Company, has some $40, 0OO,-
900 invested in St. Augustine alone
and asserts that he will expend S10,-
000, 900 more there in building a har-
Dor outside of the present n
Some of the most magnificent rail-
way systems on the continent are
owned mostly in this city, the Louis
vile and Nashville, the Illinois Cen
trail, the Chesapeake and Ohio, the
Richmond and Allegheny and, in fact,
every road in the South is the property
of Northern people, G. P. Huntington,
being, doubtless, the heaviest owner.
Millions are annually spent to proper
ly grade and ballast these roads and
provide them with new and luxurious
rolling stock. It is estimated that Of
late, more than $50, 600, 600 have been
on these lines to encourage
Northern travel in the direction Of
Southern winter resorts.
To give a list of New York investors
in the South, it would only be neces-
sary to copy from the directory the
bankers and trust companies directors,
the leading wholesalers in groceries,
dry goods, clothing, hardware, etc.

From the vast stiffness, in whose unknown deep

UNASSORTED STOCK.
Why Poultrymen Should Aim to Secure
 Uniformity in the Flock.

Uniformity in the Flock.
 Go into any barnyard or poultry yard and the.chances are that the stock will be found of all grades, shapes, colors and sizes Among the lot will be found some excellent layers, but the whole lot will prove unproftable, ow- ing to too much rubbish"
 Yet there are hundreds who annually winter over and feed scrubs that show no signs of thrift, and which give the flock the appearance of being mixed to such an extent as to destroy even the prospect of better results in the fu- ture.
 This is due to the failure of farmers to secure uniformity in the flock There is no excuse for having little of everything and bad-as the use of pure-bred males will overcome all such obstacles We do not mean to claim that the farmer should use pure bred fowls only, for the crosses are ex- cellent, but if crosses are to be used, let some judgment be used in securing such crosses Breed for just what you want, using certain males and females for that purpose, and not turn out the whole flock together and then trust to chance for the character of the off spring. There is too much useless ma terial in nearly all f1ocks, but it can be bred out.-Prairie Farmer.

THE LOST SHEEP.
A Living Picture of the Beautiful Biblical
 Parable.

A Living Picture of the Beautiful Biblical
 Parable.
 The traveller in Palestine sees not in- frequently parable of the Gospels acted out before him. One of these l1v- ing pictures passed before Frances Power Cobbe, as she was riding through the low hills which bound the blighted flats of the Dead sea. In her Life, by Herself" she describes the beautiful sight and the impression it made
 While riding alone, few hundred yards ahead of the caravan, she met man, the only one she had seen since passing few black tents eight or ten miles away. He was noble-looking young shepherd, dressed in the camel's hair robe, and with the powerful limbs and elastic step of the children of the desert.
 Round his neck, and with it's little limbs held gently by his hand, lay lamb he had rescued and was carrying home. The little creature lay as if perfectly contented and happy, and the man looked pleased as he strode along lightly with his burden. As Miss Cobbe saluted him with the usual gesture of pointing to heart and head and the EsSalaam alik!" Peace with youD he re- sponded with a smile and a kindly glance at the lamb, to which he saw her eyes were directed.
 ''It was actually" writes the delight ed witness, "tthe beautiful parable of the Gospel acted out before my sight. Every particular was true to the story; the shepherd had doubtless left his 'ninety-and-nine' in the wilderness, round the black tents we had seen so far away, and had sought for the lost lamb till he found it. where it must quickly have perished without his help. Literally, too, when he had found it, he laid it on his shoulders, rejoicing"

THE NEGRO VOICE.
It Is Not Adapted to the Singing of White
 Mans Music.

Mans Music.
 Owing to personal idiosyncrasies the vocal apparatus of the negro differs from that of the white man. The arch of the roof of the mouth, the nasal sounding board of the colored man, has another conformation. If true col ored man were to paint his face like a white mans and sing an English, Ital- ian or German aria it is his voice which would at once give him away, says an exchange. The initiative faculty is, however, very strong in the negro so he cannot help himself in following the white mans music and the white mans words. The true, pure African song is probably the ''Juba."
 It is hardly a song, but chant, abounding in spoken words. As to rhythm, the native negro, or the ono born in the United States, has that to a marked degree. If now and then there has been an occasional negro vocalist of merit since their period of freedom, why has there not been an in strumentalist? The reason is plain. To have a fine voice is an accident of nature. To play an instrument well, so as to gain a reputation as violinist or pianist, means, in addition to natural talent, to devote to the violin or piano many years of study. The race instinct in the negro does not incline toward persistency of purpose. With rhythm alone, as Wallaschek shows, primitive music began.

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale vet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents.
