faded and worn about the hem. Her
dark rusty brown hair was twisted up
not too tidily in an unbecoming knot.
Her br;ghtblue eyes blinked in the
strong light, and she put up one long
nervous hand to shield them.
She stood still for q moment in the
middle OF the fl )or. looking at the Sleep
ing man. Then she went to his side,
picked up the novel and the cigarette,
tossed the latter into the fire in the
CRATE, and looked at the book as though
she would have liked to dispose Of this
in the same manner. However, she laid
it down on table, pushing it under a
pile OF other books.
The light at its strongest fell upon
sIme large object standing in ths centre

ed in a white Goth. The woman's2eyes
fell on this with bitter curiosity. She
hesitated for some time, glancing at the
man on the lounge. AT last she went up
to the pedestal and carefully lifted off
the cloth, which had rested on spIinters

There was revealed the figure OF a

swept sideways from her face over a

COST OF LIVING IN MISSISSIPPI.

The f'st cost Of making q home IN
Mississippi is not only less than in
the north, but 1t costs less to support
the home and the family here than IL
does in country where winter is the
rule, and summer is only an inter
lude. The three largest items Of ex-
peuse for every famllyare buildings,
clothing and food.
Individual articles OF clothing cost
about the same here as in the north.
but the total amount OF clothing
needed here is much less, and wbp.
is needed is less expensive
The fur. heavy waat,-1
!n.1 shsS~TSems OF winter clothing
are not needed here, and clothing Of
the cheaper cotton fabric, IS all that
is wanted during the greater part of
the year. Underclothng of wool is
frequently worn, but the heavy wraps
and double suits worn in the north
are wholly unnecessary. Fuel costs
but little, aud little is needed Car
pets are much less essential TO com
fort than in the north, and are much
|
less used. The immigrant should
bring with him whatever winter cloth
ing he may have, for our winter eli
mate Is more damp than that OF the
north, and during the first winter
here the cold is felt almost as much
as there, but we venture TO say that
the heavy winter clothing which may
be brought and used for one or two
winters will seldom be replaced.
The same may be said in regard
to the cost of food. Meat, -four, tea
coffee and sugar cost the same here
that they do IN the north, but with
our milder climate we need less of
these, and use larger proportion of
vegetables anil fruits which are grown
at home, and so cost no cash outlay.
From the experience OF many who
have lived in both places, we are
confident that the expenses here, for
the items mentioned, are not more
than two-thirds what they are in Kan
sas and Nebraska.
With such small expense for liy-
ing with our light taxes and cheap
labor, this is one OF the best places
in the whole country for man Of
energy, pluck aud limited means, to
make for himself a comfortable
hume.

that the naval inspectors, not
withstanding their purely technl-
cal knowledge, were not sufficient
ly expert practically to discover
all defects in steel delivered by
the constructors.
This matter of tho delivery of
defective armor plates to the gov
ernment for the armament Of bat
tleships is very serious matter.
A few defective plates might read
lily precipltate a disaster in the
event Of u naval contest, and
might cause the loss Of an expen-
siye battleship and turn the scale
of victory. CrimipdT knowledge
of the delivery Of such defective
plates should be considered as
little short Of treason, and con-
gress ought to provide the sever
est penalties for such an offense.
The delivery Of imperfect steel
plates is u severe blow to Ameri-
can shipbuilders, as it impairs the
value of the vessels turned out by
them through no fault of their
own. 1t also serves to weaken
popular confidence in the strength
of the new ships -Picayune.

DEFECTIVE ARMoR PLATES

1t will be remembered that
quite a sensation was caused
something like two years ago by
the discovery that some of the
armor plates forming part of the
protection of the cruiser New
York, and similar plates on sew
eral other vessels, were defective
and that they had been so pre-
pared as to conceal the defects.
30 important was this discovery
considered that it was made the
subject of a congressional inqui-
ry. This investigation showed
that the defects complained of
did actually exist.
1t is now developed that con-
siderable of the steel plates now
being delivered for the battleships
Kentucky and Kearsarge are de-
fectiye, and the navy department
has determined to appoint civilian
experts to-assist the regular board
of naval officers in examening all
the steels being delivered for the
five new battleships under con-
struction. The appointment Of
civilians was decided upon be-
cause it was clearly demonstrated

from $40 acres in 1860 to 1913 IN
1870, to 1856 in 1880 aud TO 122 in
1890. So it is seen they are now
less than one-third The size thirty
years ago. The old tenant sys-
tenn and immense plantations are
giving way to the advancing num-
Der Of Industrious, economical
freeholders. And another graft
flying fact is that Mississippi far
mers have less martgage indebt-
edness than those of any other
part of the whole country.
And that fact suggests an addi-
tional statement about our states
financial condition. Tho indebt-
cdness Of Mississippi is. about the
smallest in the Union, being only
$l9 66 per capita, while the aver
age in the United States Is ia Is.
The recent sale Of 100000 5 per
cent state bonds commanded u
premium Of 3le per cent. and the
entire issue was taken by the citi-
zens of the state. Indeed there
has been marked progress in our
financial matters. The storm of
1898, which swept over the coun-
try and wrecked so many of the
strongest banking institutions of
the country, only affected one in
this state. Aud through the in-
tervening years of strain and UNI
rest our financial institutions have
prospered and multiplied. Our
interest laws are liberal, and am
pie protection is given the credi-
tor.
Taxes are low. The state taS
