During the past ten years the south
has made rapid progress in supplying
iron to the trade of this country and
Europe. A contemporary points out
that 1t was only dozen years ago
that the nrst shipment of southern
iron was made to Pennsylvania. Al
the time 1t created no small amount
of surprise. for 1t was never believed
prior to that time that the south
would sell iron in the Keystone state
Statistics on this point show that ship
ments for April, this year, amounted
to 101, 141 tons. or this the west took
SS,207 tons, the east 1896 tons. and
Europe 32,S3S tons. Shipments to Eu.
rope so far this year amount to more
than 100000 tons, more than double the
amount exported last year. 1t Is ex-
pected that total shipments abroad for
this year will be more than twice the
amount sent last year.

The snakes that do Sugg no harm IN
variably kill the animals they strike.
The other afternoon, in the midst OF
an exhortation to the ungodly to come
/. ald be saved, Silas Sugg snatched a
rooster from a near by fence and held
it up before one of his copperheads. 1t
took just seventeen minutes for the
poor cock to die.
Silas Sugg is forty-eight years old.
He has had no education and neither
of his parents could either read or
write. He was failure as a farmer
and has made his living for sixteen
years as a silversmith. The religious
Phase of his character developed about
five years ago, when he evolved sort
of theology from the Bible, in which
Christianity aud snakes seem to bear
about equal parts. According to him
Christ's mission on earth, besides be-
ing to save the lost and restore peace
among the sons of Adam, was to re-
peal that law which ordained enmity
between mankind and the snake,
whose persuasions brought about the
fall.
Sugg is very careful about his SER
penis. They can bite him as much as
they will, but he handles them as care
fully az though they were glass and
he was afraid of breaking them. In
the autumn he turns them loose among
the rocks of Illinois, and he says they
always come back in the spring.
In his deal box he carries a rattle
snake, which appears to be a fine-four-
foot specimen of Crotalus confluentus
three or four copperheads of various
sizes, which are readily recognizable as
Ancistrodon contortrix; a five-foot cot

one in his box. He says that cats and
chickens die wien bitten by the putting
adder, but the putting adder doesn't
hurt him.

gives. They are performances. though
