caps; two centuries ago hats were
worn in the house. Pepys, in his
diary, wrote: September, 1864, got
a severe cold because he took off his
hat at dinner" and again in January,
1865, he got another cold by sitting
too long with his head bare, to allow
his wife's maid to comb his hair and

his younger days he never kept his

Story of Brave Little LOttie,

Once I knew little girl and her
name was Lottie. She went to school
each day, and her teacher loved her
very much. So did all the little girls
and boys who went to school with
Lottie. She loved them all too, and
the teacher as well, but most of all
she loved her little lame brother
Robbie. He was seven years old, and
she dragged him to school in cart
sometimes, when his leg was real bad.
But one day there came n great snow
storm, and Tom Briggs, big boy,
took hold of the cart to drag Robbie
through the snowdrifts. But it grew
worse and worse when they turned off
from the main street, and they had
still long ways to go.
81 will go and get fathers sleigh" I"
said Tom, ''if you will wait under this
big tree, Lottie, with Robbie" Then
when they were alone Robbie began
to cry and say that he was cold and
that his leg achkd. SO Lottie, like a
good, brave little girl took off her
shawl and wound it around her little
brother.
But all the time Tom Briggs did not
come, and the wind howled and
shrieked and bent the branches of the
great tree.

father, who started with him, both

children. Lottie had her arms around
Robbie, and both were Just going to
sleep, and it was dark, and Tom and
his father had lanterns. But five
minutes later they were at home,
where mamma and papa were awfully

SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS,
Statistics Showing the Rapid Growth Of
the Industry in North Carolina.

The first report of tho Commissioner Of
Labor Statistics, Of North Carolina. devotes
much attentionto the cotton industry. The
number OF cotton mills in operation in the
State In 1870 was thirty-three, equipped
with 6ls looms and 39,807 spindles. Ten
years later there was q small increase In
the number of mills to forty-nine, but the
capacity of many old ones had been in
creased, and there was an increase OF over
100 per cent. In the equipment, tho looms
numbering 1890 and the spindles 90, 1856.
Five years later there was another increase
OF 100 per cent, In round numbers, the
number OF mills being eighty, with 407l
looms and 199,0 900 spindles. On January /,
1898. there were 207 cotton mills, with
nearly 5000 looms and !, ,045, 1886 spin dl es
The number will soon be increased, Ten
new spinning or weaving companies have
been formed and expect to be In operation
by the time the new cotton crop appears.
Nine additional mills are nearing compile
tion, and ten hosiery and knitting mills are
being constructed.

Twas bitter cold morning; the new-fallen
snow
Had pierced every crack where snowflake
could go;
The streams were all solid, the ice sharp and
clear;
And even the fishes were chilly, I fear.
Almost all the wild creatures were troubled
and cold,
And sighed for sweet summer, the shy and
the bold;
But one thrifty family, as you must know,
Was breakfasting merrily under the snow.

Which led to parlor with leaves cushioned

Five jolly red squirrels were sitting at ease.
And eating their breakfast as gay rs you

The examination of this class of frag-

Identification of the Ecclesiasticus frag-

defaced caricature of the real work of
Sirach.
But I hardly need to point out that

Aiken states that men cast ashore
among them have starved to death,
unable to eat their food. Their crav-
ings for food would be voracious, and
they would take the stuff into their
stomachs, but this organ would revolt
and refuse to retain it. So they would
die amid mingled sufferings of nausea
and pangs of hunger.
But the most remarkable feature in
connection with these Indians is their
habitations. They are cave jewellers,
the only known people having caves
for dwellings, now upon the North
American continent, and perhaps in the
world. And their residences are pc
culiar and far different from those of
the cliff jewellers Of New Mexico, who
burrowed their holes in the sides of the
mesas. These houses are eXcavated in
the sides Of hill, the chamber being
pierced some feet into the rise and
walled up the front with stones. Across
the top of the stone walls are laid
poles which they gather from the drift
wood of the island and upon these i'm
provised rafters are placed hides, grass
and lastly layer of dirt.
You do not enter this home directly
but the ingress is from the end of a
long, low, tunnel-like hall, covered with
the same kinds of rafters and roof as
is the house. This passageway is from
twelve to fifteen feet long, and it does
not abut against the apartment to
which it leads, and upon a level with
it, but ends below it, and you rise out
of the hall into the house through an
1S-inch hole in the top of one and in
the floor of the other. 1t is strange
and curious sight to behold, these odd
dwellings ranged against the hills, set
ting one above another, the topmost
perhaps overlooking forty of such
houses. 1t Is estimated that 200 people
live in this village which is called Ouk-
WAX, and which is certainly one of the
most extraordinary constructed places
in the world.--From the San Francisco
Call.
