HAD TO MAKE HIS BLUFF Good
John Allen, of Mississippi, the wit OF
the house, arrived at a hotel In ST.
Augustine, registered and was as
signed to room. He had never seen
apartments SO Oextravagantly furnished.
Expensive oil paintings hung on the
walls. The bedstead was of mahogany
and handcarved. Carpeting half u
foot thick covered the flooring. There
were vases filed with flowers, velvet
covered chairs, lace curtains, beveled
mirrors and all the other appliances OF
modern convenience and luxury. John
became alarmed. He figured it out
that that room would cost as much per
day as his salary as congressman would
amount to In half a week. He called q
bellbOy. gave him 81, and told him to
quietly find out the tariff on that room.
John didn't like to ask the clerk him.
self. He was a big man, and that
pre- sently and informed the guest that
the price was $50 per day. Allen went
down stairs, laid down dime and
called for Cigar. They didn't sell
anything but two-bit cigars. He put
down q nickel and picked uo New
York paper. "Twenty cents more,
please" said the clerk. He got drink
and rendered 10 cents. "Whers have
YOU been stOpping-at the Windsor ?
asked the barkeeper. Drinks here
are quarter" That settled it with
Allen. He wenU to his room, gathered
his grips and took himself down stairs.
Then he called for his bill. "Why
what is the matter, Mr.. Allen ? We
thought you were going to spend some
time With u.s." said the clerk. Very
sorry" replied Mr.. Allen, "but I have
just received telegram that calls me
away" The clerk reached out hit
hand to tell him goodbye. "But the
bill ?" inquired Mr.. Allen. There
Isn't any bill. You are the guest o.
the manager, Mr.. Seavy." But Aller
had to make the bluff good, and he
left on the evening train.

A FAMOUS Toy MAKER.-In plying
their TRADE the tOy-makers OF Austria
contine themselves to the manufacture
OF the particular articles in which they
excel. For example, one worker-an
old woman -carves cats, dogs, wolves,
sheep, goats and elephants. She has
made these six animals her whole life
long, and she has no idea Of how to cut
anything else. She makes them In two
sizes and she turns out as nearly az
possibly 900 OF them year.
She has no model or drawing of any
kind to work by, but goes on steadily,
unerringly, using gauges of different
sizes, and shaping the animals out with
an ease and an amount OF truth to
nature that would be clever IL it were
not utterly mechanical. She learned
from her mother how to make these
six animals, and her mother had learn
cd, In like manner, from her grand
mother. The old dame has taught tho
art to her own granddauP hter, and 90
1T will go on being transmitted for
generations.
In some houses there are families
that carve rocking horses or dolls or
! other toys, and in other houses there
are families of painters. In one house
are doz IN girls painting brown horses
with black points. In another house
they paint only red horses with white
( points. IT is separate branch OF the
trade to paint saddles and headgear.
| A good hand will paint twelve doz IN
horses 20 day, each horse being about q
foot In length, and for these she Is paid
sixty soldi, or about halt crown.

COTTON MILLS OF THE SOUTH.

Manufacturing I'm the South.

President Smyth, of Pelzer, Gives
His View on the Growth OF Cotton
Manufacturing in the South.
The Baltimore Sun prints an inter
view with Capt. E. A. Smyth, of Pelzer,
S. c., in which he expressed views that
will prove interesting TO our readers.
The Sun says:
AS the president OF the biggest cot
ton mill in the South Capt. Smy tn is
intimately acquainted with this in
dustry. Speaking of the effect o.
Southern competition on the New
Eng gIand mill situation, he expressed
tue opinion that for the present the
manufacturers of Hne cotton goods in
New England have but little competi-
tlon from the South.
Fall River, with It's two million
spindles," SAID Capt. Smyth, "has only
about one hundred Thousand spindles
IN the South competing for the class OF
goods they turn out. New Bedford has
no competition as yet from the South
for the products Of It's mills. It Will
take another generation before tne
south @iil offer composition sufficiently
suong To make any appreclabl3 iu-
roads upon the mark tS which are con-
trolied by the N,w England mills.
Tne competition Of SOutn,rn mills is
talked OF more TO influence legislation
in Now Eugl and than from any real
feeling OF alarm, IL is desired to
secure the repeal OF certain laws In the
Now II lgiand States, which operate
against the manufacturers. Ole oI
these prohibits the aning Of weavers
for faulty work or for spelling work
Under this law the only thing the mil
owner can do is to discharge opera
tives who do faulty work, aud in the
absence or any other discipline they
contend that they have NO control over
the operatives.
Overproduction OF cotton goods
has suspen nded tue construction OF new
mills in the South. A question OF i'm
mediate Importance to the Southern
mills, and In fact 10 the manufacturers
OF all CLASSES OF goods In every part o
I this country, is an increas In the ex
