COTTON MILLS

 4 Republic editorial of recent date, directing attention to the marked in crease in the establishmentofootton spinning mills in the South, has led to the production of further facts and figures making an even better showing than those upon which the editorial in question was based.
 Most significant among these new facts are those furnished by the United States Commissioner or Labor, showing the growth of the industry in the South as compared with that in the North, once the eX- elusive possessor. The figures show an increase of 150 per cent in the volume of cotton manufacturing in the South in the 10 years from 1880 to 1890.
 For the North in the same time the increase was but 24 per cent. The increase noted h the Southern States resulted in nearly doubling the number of cotton factories, more than doubling tho number of employees, and tripling the amount of wages paid.
 From 1890 to the present time corresponding growth in the South ern States has been made or the record during that time, in North and South, the Secretary of tho New Orleans Cotton Exchange says The changes in percen tages North and South during this period of eight years are strikingly suggestive. In 1890 76.7 percent of our domestic consumption of rew cotton was North and 366 was South In other words, in the former period Northern consumption was IS to ,, whereas today it is IS to 10, the North standinding today as it did in 1890, and tho South having doubled.
 The Republic takes pleasure n presenting t1ese facts and figures to it's readers as undeniable ev- idence Of the sure prosperity and further great development of the New South. It believes that the time is not far distant when the Southern States will have virtual monopoly of cotton spinning in this country. Not only would this re suit in marxed increase Of manafac turing wealth in the South, but 1t would mean also very material icssening in the cost of cotton goods 10 the consumer--the saving of

A Glass-Eyed Tiger.

The geological garden of Stuttgart,
Germany, is possessed of tiger with
a glass eye, probably the only one in
the world. Some time ago the tiger
was attacked with peculiar disease
which deprived it of the sight of one
of its eyes. 1t soon became so un-
slightly that the superintendent of tse
garden concluded to have the tiger
killed. At this juncture some one
proposed that glass eye might be
used to advantage and staff of sur
geons was called in to perform the
operation. The king of the Jungle
was placed under the influence Of
cocaine, and with the help of six or
eight men, all of whom could scarcely
hold the patient still, the afflicted eye
was removed and a new glass one in
serted. For few days the tiger was
in a wildly savage mood and tried his
best to claw the glass eye from it's
place, but he finally grew accustomed
to it, and now looks ont quite calmly
upon his admiring visitors, many of
whom never suspect that he is one
eyed monarch. Chicago Record.

The Cats Friend Dead,

Lonely cats, deserted by their own
ers or lured from their homes by
heartless boys, have lost good friend
in Miss Annie Mayhem, who died a
short time ago in England. This wo-
man was the founder of cats home,
and her whole time and energies were
devoted to caring for deserted and
stray pussies, on whose behalf she was
constantly appealing to the kindly
hearted. Every summer she issued
an appeal through the press to persons
leaving town, begging them not to
forget poor puss, leaving it to starve
in their absence. Miss Mayhem was
a firm believer in the theory that there
is happy hunting-ground for felines
in the future, and that human beings
and animals will somewhere meet
again in the great hereafter. 1t COM
forted her to think that N some way
pussies who had suffered gross cruel
ties at the hands of men and women
in this life might some day have their
compensation. New York Tribune

DANIEL WEBSTER AS FARMER.

"reminiscences of Great Statesman Only
one who Recalls Him.
Some recent visitors to Daniel
Wehster's old home in Marshfield,
Mass, found only one man in the
neirhborhood who could talk from
personal knowledge about the states.
man. and not o soul who bore his
name or claimed direct or indirect
descent from him. The exception was
an AGED person named Wright, who
said that in the old days he had been
the superintendent of Websters big
farm. and had known him well and
intimately for years, not as the great
orator and politician, of course, but
as the gentleman farmer, kindly EN-.
ployer and good neighbor. Mr..
Wright somewhat reluctantly adj
mitted that as an agriculturist his
famous friend was not brilliant sue
cess in pecuniary way, but he says
that no one ever loved q quiet rural
life better, or took keener, more
minute or more personal interest in
all that went on in the fields, woods
and barns. "He loved this place,
every tree and flower and living thing
on it. He knew every sod that was
turned, every COW that was MIXED,
every blade of grass that was moved
and his steers There was man
who knew an ox!" And then Mr..
Wright told how Webster, when near
deaths door, had his favorite oxen
driven up before the window of the
manse that has now disappeared. "I
was there and drove them up, two by
two, while Webster stood by the
window and watched them pass. 1t
was a sad day for that household, and
when he was gone everything began
to 60 down hill At the end of two
years the place was closed up and sold
piecemeal. Some parts of 1t fetched
good prices. others almost nothing"
According to this authority Webster
never drank to excess and 'his only
trouble was the fact that he did not
have as much money as he needed"
Mr.. Wright is over so years old, but
he still works daily in his fields and
shows few signs Of extreme age

Strange Land I'm Florida.

Payne's prairie, three miles south OF
this city, covers an area of fifty thou
sand acres. A large portion of the
prairie is now covered with water, but
there are thousands of acres around
the borders of the lake which has been
formed on which horses and cattle
Craze. There is no way of estimating
the number of cattle, but there are
many thousands, and they are in fine
condition. The prairie, or savanna,
which it really is, occasionally goes
dry, the water passing out through a
sub,errauean passage called the sink.
Where the water goes to has never
been determined. When the sink is
open the lake goes dry, and when the
outlet becomes gorged or choked a lake
from five to seven miles wide and about
eighteen miles long is formed. When
the waters of the lake suddenly leave
it thousands of alligators, snakes, fish
and turtles are left with nothing but
mud for their places of abode. The
fish and turtles perish, but the sau-
rians and reptiles seek and find other
quarters. For miles along the north
ern border of the lake there is a sue
cession of sinks, averaging in depth
all the way from % to 100 feet. Sub
terranean passages run in every direc-
ton, leaving the ground in the shape
OF honeycomb. The ground is liable
to give way at any time, creating
new sink.--Gainesville Fla. Sun.

80, with some heartaches, / deter
/ mined seriously and after mature de-
liberation that 1 should not marry at
all. 1 was the only child, and it was
plainly my duty to remain with my
parents, to comfort to their declining
years, and, inasmuch as such was to
be my fate, I might as we'll begin inn
mediately; so 1 took to drinking q
great deal OF tea, to taking very
great interest in household affairs and
to sympathizing with and assisting
mamma among the poor and to being
extremely methodical and precise.
Harry had not been to the house
since that last day, over three months
ago, and now mamma aud papa did
not mention him. 1 had never told
them the cause of our quarrel, and
they soon ceased to question me,
though could not help suspecting
that they knew. q.
At last, one day, Tom Dickerson
asked me, in a stupid, laundering sort
of way, If I would be his wife; where
upon informed him, in manner suf-
ficiently positive, that most assured
ly would not. His surprise was i'm

If really meant it and said that I

the more he insisted the more en-
phatic l became, and he at length
took leave, saying that if I should
change my mind must let him know.

ma all about it, and then she drew
from me the story, told with many
tears, of Harry's declaration and how
1 had spurned it and how miserable 1
had been ever since, and now he was
engaged to somebody else, and I
should never marry anybody. After
sobbing little while with my head in
her lap 1 felt great deal better and
that it would not be so hard to be an
old maid after all. My only regret
was, that old as might consider my
self, no one else could possibly con:
slider me SO for ten years yet, and yet,
during all that time, L should be OBJ
liged to go into society.
A few days after this mamma and
papa went out one afternoon to make
call, and was sitting alone in the
parlor. SUDDEN ysome nepronounced

Cousin Harry, who, when 1 sprang up
in dismay, caught me in his arms.
But L shall not tell any more, save
that when papa and mamma came in
they found us sitting very cozily on
the sofa, where Harry held me fast,
though 1 tried hard TO assume a more
dignifed position at distance when
l heard them coming.
There were great many explana-
tions to be made, and it finally app
peared that l had been the victim of a
conspiracy.
Papa and mamma had suspected
something all the time, but had known
nothing certainly until my confession.
Papa had Immediately seen Harry and
had brought about the meeting.
AS for the latter, his attentions to
Miss Knapp were intended solely to
bring me TO my senses, if I had any,
as she was soon to be married to
gentleman who was then abroad.
We were married after very short
engagement, and though my short
married life has had some clouds, they
have resulted, generally, from my own
pettishness, and they are becoming
more rare. But of this / am sure, that
never was so happy before.

A MAKE-BELIEVE.
The Language of BabyIand and How
to Read II.
LOVE THE INTERPRETER.

Did you ever get a letter from baby?
A make-believe letter. written on any
old scrap of paper, and all smeared and
daubed with inky fingers. A tumble of
criss-crosses, topsy- turvys and wlggle-
waggles.
woman who never received a letter
from baby doesn't know what real liter
allure is Crochety old bachelors and cross
spinsters may make-believe that baby's
letter is tumble of nonsense, and that
no one can read it. That's because they
are not up in the languages It only shows
their ignorance. There never was a moth
er lived who couldn't read baby's letter.
Every criss-cross and every wiggle-wag-
gle in it has its meaning for the fond
mother.
To be sure, baby's letters are written
in language that no-account single peo-
pie do not understand, It's a language
that hasn't any grammar or rhetoric or
photography. It's a language that the
wisest philosopher and the greatest lin
guist may be unable to read, and that
the poorest peasant may decipher at a
glance. 1t Is language that is learned
by love and not by wisdom
Do you treasure baby's make-believe let
ters? Do you ever think of the day when
those letters may be blotted with tears +?
