THE sTRUGGLEsEs' COOK.
She Would Have Been Acquired but Fol
Lack of Confidence.

Lack OF confidence.
Uxory-There ought always to be the
fullest and completest confidence between
husband and wife.
Luxory-You bet. My wife and I might
now be on speaking terms if p9e'd lived up
to that.
Uxory-what's askewP Been delayed
until very late at your Office and talked in
your sleep?
Luxory-No; it's the other way this
time-all my wife's fault. You see, the
Struggleses have a cook who's the wonder
and envy of every housekeeper in Sahara
hurst. Cooki Why, man, give her an old
shoe and lump of fat and she'll make
your mouth water over the most delicious
salad that ever made your eyes glisten-
Struggles says it's no exageeration; he's
tried it. And she's a slayer too. Yes, sir,
she isn't one of these hocus pocus cooks
now you see her and now you don't. Why,
on my honor, she's been at Struggles all
of three months; regular old family serv-
ant, you know.
Uxory-But what has this phenomenon
to do with the row between you and your
wife?
Luxory-Everything. My wife heard
that that paragon was dissatisfied at last,
SO she entered into negotiations with her,
and she promised to come to us if Strug-
giles didn't pay her her wages at the end OF
last week. That was the reason she was
going to leave. Poor old Strugglesl He's
been just fighting along for the last siz
months, and blamed if I'm not sorry fol
him.
Uxory-Of course, but
Luxory-Well, my wife knew how fell
toward Struggles, SO she was little
ashamed to tell me about this arran ge1nen
with his cook, and-doggone my luck
lent him the money last Saturday to pa,
her, that's what did, and I don't know
when my wife's going to forgive me. -

would never have the use of it. The
treatment of his physicians, combined
with massage, have, however, almost
got it in good shape once more.

Southern Iron Abroad.

The Philadelphia Record is convinced
that the export trade in southern pig
iron has come Ito stay, even Of prices
should go up a dollar ton. The popu-
larity of our iron in Europe has. 1T
seems, basis not born of the magma
| ton. 1t mixes well with European iron,
which contains very little or no phos-
phoqus or silicon the resultant product
being a metal of superior quality. North
ern iron contains nearly as much phos-
phorus and silicon as southern iron, and
when the two are blended, the result is
not SO satisfactory as it lis when south
ern iron and European iron are melted
together. This DIS the secret, says the
Record, Of the great popularity Of
southern iron in Europe; this, together
with a comparatively low price, go to
show that our export trade will be stead
ily Increased without much regard to
market f1uctua tions.
The Record them says in conclusions:
steel of excellent quality is now be-
ing made by the basic process in the
south, and the result of the first output
was SO satisfactory that the commits
sion of naval officers and experts ap-
pointed by the government to investi-
gate the whole question of manufacture
ing armor, including the cost of erecting
government armor plate works, Thought
1t worth while to spend some time at
Birmingham and other iron districts in
the south in examining the existing
plants and the facilities for manufac-
turlng steel for armor, guns and projec-
tiles. Another instance of the growing
strength of the south as a producer of
| iron and steel DIS found in the fact that
capitalists who are largely interested On
iron manufacturing in the north are in
vesting in similar properties in the
south. At first glance this would seem
like an unwise move, tending to a clash
of interests, but on studying the sta
| tiStics of exports an explanation is ap-
parent. The south Is most favorably
situated for exporting pig iron and man.
ufactured iron, which is carried at a low
rate of freight as ballast on cotton ships.
"These facts, together with the met
allurglcal reason we have indicated, are
gradually convincing northern ironmas-
ters that the north and south, INSTEAD of
engaging i'm ruinous competition and
internecine strife, can work together
harmoniously ito their mutual advantage.
This, we believe, the true explanation of
the change which is gradually coming
and 1t accounts for the investment of
northern capital in southern iron indus
tries If our conclusions be correct, the
bogy Of southern competition need no
longer be feared"
The Records statement of the situa-
ton becomes exceedingly interesting
when one reads between the lines. 1t
is plain that southern iron has won
acceptance even among northern from
masters. 1t has won, too, market that
is simply immense--the world 1t occu-
pies today an impregnable position, and
no one can place a Unfit to the produce
