Mrs Frances Shaw, a Chicago wom-
an, has discovered a new freproof en-
amel which is said to be wonderful.
Mrs. Shaw knows very little of chemis-
try and yet she has discovered that
which scientists are said to have been
working to discover for fifty years.
She is a womanly woman, too, and
come to think of 1t it is the womanly

cries which are Of practical benefit and

1t is question whether the schemes
of Prince Henri to attract the support
of the French people to his pretensions
have not proved fiat failure. In plain
language, he has been a designing
fakir ever since attaining to an age of

tions in the far East were the creation

The dream of the Jewish race for
centuries, the establishment of Jew
ish state" in Palestine, IS beginning to
take on a practical form, and If mat
ters can be satisfactorily arranged
with the Sultan of Turkey as to the
terms on which Palestine may be ac-
quired there is little doubt that wealthy
Jews ali over the world will readily
provide the funds for the realizing of
this dream of their race. The most
important step yet taken in this direc-
ton Is the Zionist congress held al
Basic, with 200 delegates from the va
rious countries Of Europe. One of the
first acts of the congress was unani-
mously to adopt the programme for re-
establishing the Jews in Palestine. DR.
TheOdor Herzl was made president and
DR.. Max Nordau secretary. DIR. HerzPs S
plans are to send out an exploring ex'
pedition equipped with all the re-
sources Of modern science to make a
careful survey of the land and its pos
sibilities, and also to establish tele-
phonic and telegraphic communication
before the actual work of colonization
begins. DR.. Herzl says their organiza.
ton extends throughout the world and
that he is constantly in receipt of let
ters from people who are willing and
eager to go to Palestine and help build
up the Jewish state" The object is tc
obtain complete sovereignty over Pal
estine, and in return for this the Jews
will regulate the sultan's finances and
strive with all their power to protect
his empire from disintegration. The
advantages to the sultan are manifest
Not only would he thus receive the
financial aid necessary to reinstate
Turkey in its financial relations in Eu.
rope, but he would also have in the
Jews a bulwark against aggression
from other quarters. The proposal is
one that appeals to the historical i'm
agination and further attempts toward
it's realization will be watched with in

Growth of the South.

Where the proud city of Birmingham
stands to-day, says the Macon Tele-
graph, there were in 1877 only worn
out fields. Chattanooga was dilapi-
dated village. Atlanta sat still in the
ashes of the war. Florida was almost
as much of wilderness as in the days
of Spanish rule. Texas had made no
impression upon the worlds markets
as a cotton producer. The States of
Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas
were in poverty and despair because
of the miseries of the reconstruction
period. The coal and iron mines of
Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia were
practically undiscovered and unopen-
ed. There was no serious competition
by any Southern port with New York
and Boston for the export and import
trade. With a single exception there
was not one great railroad system in
the South, and that did not touch the
southeastern part.
Twenty years ago the manufacture
Of cotton in the South was wholly an
infant industry. The cities now known
as textile-working centers were mere
trading posts at the cross roads. The
fruit and vegetable business of Florida
was so small as to attract little atten-
ton, while the fruit and melon busi-
ness of Georgia did not exist at all.
Southern farmers then bought their
corn and meats instead of raising
them as they do now, and the cotton
crop of Georgia, Notwithstanding the
comparatively low prices, and not
withstanding the cities have absorbed
so much of the rural population, is
twice as large as it was then.

4 Bomb Thrown at the President of the
 French Republic.
 PARIS, June 15. .-Yesterday afternoon President Felix Faure and his wife and daughters were on their way to the Longchamps race track in two car riages guarded by dragons with drawn revolvers, when, just as they were passing through thicket of sycamore and plane trees near La Cas- cade restaurant in the Bois de Boulogne, bomb was exploded at the side of the roadway, but fortunately did no damage. A man in the crowd in the vicinity was at once arrested. He gave his name as Gallet. The police made a thorough search of his lodg- ings. He is believed to be insane, for he shouted, as the carriage passed along, so loudly as to attract general attention. The police also arrested youth, but it is thought probable that the actual culprit escaped.
 The news of the attempt spread rapidly through the city, and when M. Fanre returned to the Elysee the streets along the route where it was known he would drive were crowded with people who cheered vociferously.
