1t is hoped that no one at this german
will be reduced to the straits that man
was at german here not SO very many
years ago. 1t was never proven, but It
was said that he was TO be given 1t new
umbrella to take II lady. to the german,
hut not being able to stand bv the bar
gain promised another man two bottles
OF beer to dance with her. The worst of
it was that neither the umbrella nor the
beer was ever paid.
1t seems TINT there has been some fric-
ton about the re iations existing between
the german promoters of Roanoke and
Salem. This brings to mind the fact that
the young people Of the two towns have
never pulled together i'll anything. The
Salem people will not come to ~ german
in Roanoke and the Roanoke.people who
could and would &c to germans in Salem
feel that all the going would be on then
and they have gradually dropped out un-
til invitations are now not often ex.
changed. 1t is matter of regret that
the Salem people will never join us in our
germans, and it is not through .any lack
OF kindly or hosptable feeling that they
are omitted from our invitation lists. 1t
is thought to be merely II waste of time
and trouble, rs they never accept Such
being the case the relations between us
in matters of this kind cannot he termed

The popularity Of the horse show seems
to be on the wane. TO what is this due?
Certainly not to the lack of good material
for exhibition. Possibly the small
amount of business done Mt the "Wood
Exchange just opposite, which is due to
the warm weather. might have something
to do with it. There was nothing like
the usual attendance yesterday.

Ed. RegiSter-Subscribe writing
from this place in the Republican of
last week conveys a false impression
by saying that the Hilburns are still
holding the post-office here in spite of
the many efforts of Gus Funk to dis
lodge them. These are not the words
OF subscriber" but they are of the
same purport and might lead stranger
to believe that Mr.. +. was exerting
himself to GUST the Hilburns. Such,
however is not the case. After the
resignation of Hilburn, Mr.. Funk cir
culated a petition and forwarded it to
Washington and again after the pres
ent administration took hold another
petition was filled and sent in. The
above is the extent of Mr.. F. 5 attempts
to GUST the Hilburns. As for Hilburn
he is waiting patiently not caring how
soon this little drop in the prosperity
wave may strike the Republican party.
1.-The Republican party" says Sub
scriher," s'has only been in power two
months and we can't expect a new born
baby to be full grown in that length of
time" No. indeed, ''Subsoriber," we
knew you were prevaricating last fall
when you said the restoration of con-
fidence" was all that was needed to
start great wave of prosperity over
this country, We have not expected
any prosperity, not even q ripple and
We are not expecting it now, but we
have a right to call your attention to
your campaign balder dash. and you
had as well take your medicine with

perity indeed! The loud-mouthed dem
agogue of last autumn whose opponents
were Anarchists" and TRAITORS" and
who made the proud boast that all that
was needed was 4 restoration of conf
dence," to start a tidal wave of pros
perity, now sits at the mast head of
the becalmed ship of state with his
field glass trained on the horizon and
you will hear his glad acclaim when
the smallest cloud reaches the range
of his anxious vision.

How ENGLAND IL Fed.

In 1894, with only Il trifle over
300, 900 acres under wheat, England
produced 1900, 600 quarters at home,
importing 16, $40, 900 quarters Of wheat

of four-that is to say, a total of
81, 900, 900 quarters, allowing for -four
In 1894, then, three out Of every four
Englishmen lived wholly upon foreign
bread. In 1895, owing to the tremen-
dous reduction of the area under wheat,
not one in every five drew his bread
from the country.
Our daily bread comes TO us from
abroad. But this is not the only neces-
sary which we import. OF foodstuffs
which might conceivably be produced
in the country we purchase from the
foreigner nearly half of our meat, near

Danger In Mineral Wool.

Mineral wood is made by blowing
powerful jets Of steam or hot air
through iron, Stag or certain sorts OF
rock. That this substance has possible
dangers has for some time been evident
to scientists. 1t is said that these ex-
tremely fine fibers get into the skin, I'M
der the nails, into the eyes, and are
breathed into the lungs, producing seri-
GUS hemorrhages. They are in reality
closely akin to glass, especially those of
Stag, and this material should be hand
led with great caution. 1t is largely
used i'm buildings for filling partitions
and floors as a deadener of sound. 1t Is
also useful for packing pipes and many
other purposes. Men who work in 1t use
sticks and various implements for han
ding it, taking care not TO touch IT. In
using this mineral wool it is well TO OBJ
serve whether there are currents OF air
strong enough to lift it up to breathing
level. II so, the worker may to advan-
tage tie a fine but thin handkerchief
over his mouth and nose. New York
