through the veldt to the vastness, so much the better. God is good. On your wedding anniversary she is your bride again. and no wrinkles. no grey hairs rest. You. in your slippers and your fatness, are the trim youth of the yesteryears, and the smoke from your pipe weaves above you both an aureole that obliterates the marks of times dull march, and above the couch of your children forms a canopy glorifed by love. Time defes paint and powder, and wrinkles wnestle with the advancing years. But motherhood and fatherhood are beautiful. compensating grace for every loss is given.
 
 Yesterday was the anniversary of the coming into this world of a life that will play It's part, great or small, and then pass to the shades. chappen was six years old yesterday. Few of you who care to follow the traeings of this graphite pencil know Chappell. That is unfortunate to those who know him not. Chappell is a prince of tho earth. He trails brighter clouds of glory than most men in the world could discern. His vivid imagination 'empurpizs all the range of his wondrous vision, and in his brain romance runs riot, and makes the lit tie boy man of mature years, and like wise makes glorious the period of his par feet existence upon this planet Romance has claimed him already. God rest It's spell upon him till the final shadows close about him in the morrow of life Of sweetness and light and virtue, and that which ap- breaches close to holiness. An, blessed boy of six! He came into the world weeping,
 Ia shall quit this sphere smiling, whilst every one about him weeps Ah, my boy Oh. beautiful little life! What a space you i'll in the hearts of sober men and women! Here is to you, little lad of the sunny face and the shadowy hair! If love may make you strong and great, you shall be the strongest and the greatest, and one who shall then be almost an old man shall bow in obeisance to you. If all that one poor person wishes for you, lad of the sunny face and the light heart, could be realized, all your life would be glorious.
 Chappell is the elder of my two famous boys. Bab is the younger. They are not mine at all, except in the abundance Of my affection. They have woven their pure lives into mine, and they stray into my dreams as blessed angels of light and life and laughter. Their father Is thrice brother to me; their mother would renew failing faith in humanity Deep down in his expanding soul Chappell believes I love Bab most-dear little Bab, with the bound ing soul as "bg as the world" Chappell is mistaken. He and Bab alike fill my life with sunshine, and in my soberer hours they bring a nameless regret. But l wouldn't sacrifice the trust of those two little boys for all the honors the world could give. Their laughter, their purity, their bounding joy, were worth the worlds redemption! THE MURMURER.

Birminuham's Home Government.

The message of Mayor Evans elsewhere published, is encouraging. It is encour- aging, because it holds out the hope that a tax rate of per cent. under the Birming- ham amendment will enable the city to avoid financial difficulties, while all indis- ward on a reasonably liberal scale. Eco nomisal and wise use of the city's income must, however, be maintained.
 Too much praise cannot be awarded Mayor Evans for his skill, tact and ability in connection with the Birmingham amend ment. His predecessors had not been able to secure its adoption, and to him belongs the credit of taking the various steps that led up to it's adoption.
 The expenses of the city have been kept within reasonable limits. Salaries have not been increased, and other current ex- penditures have been kept down, although more has been expended in permanent i'm movements. More money has been col lected in poll taxes. The financial condi- IlOn IS improving, anu hdyor LNdIiS dShS the board of aldermen to take steps look ing to refunding of the city debt in 1900, If possible at low rate of interest. The application of the Birmingham amendment aided by economy and prudence in the city government, should serve to give the city the advantage of low rate in the refund ing process The city would then be on a good basis financially speaking.
 The health of the city is very good An excellent system of sewers and Q porous soil, and a reasonable degree of cleanliness, have produced good results. It Is difficult to die here. Less than ten out of each one thousand whites are able in the course of year to shuttle off this mortal coil. The appointment of a street commissioner will do something towards still farther lessen ing the death rate.
 The city schools are the pride of Mayor Evans. as they are of other citizens. He points with pride to the fact that a desk

Irrigation Wealth.

The specialties of natural wealth in Ala bama are numerous, prodigal and general throughout its area. We know what has lifted Jefferson county from tthe status of "pauper" county in 1860, taking more from the state treasury to support itself than it contributed. The industrial revolution in Jefferson is based on the resources of the virgin soil in minerals Enormous beyond ible for many generations as scientists say they are, yet the state geologist, pr. Smith. declares the marls in the counties below this are the reserved deposits of more material strength in the future life of the state than all the coal seams and ore beds of which the state so justly boasts.
 There is one speciality of natural wealth in Alabama strangely neglected. The water supply that passes idly through our val leys and around our hills Is annually deliv- cred as waste to the sea, while there is never twelve month in which crops do not suffer because of the lack of moisture; nev- CT a season in which the great cost to farmers of fertilizers is not more or less profitless because of absence of rain; seldom a fall time when seeding of turnips, win ter grains and grasses is not delayed for want of rain sufficient to enable the blow to enter the land, and sufficient to sprout the seed that may be put down.
 There is little farming land in any part of this state which is too poor to produce crops when there is an abundance of mois- ture. Lett the rain come as 1t is needed, and Alabama lands are always responsive in a greater variety of crops for market than can be mentioned. In the vicinity of this city there are pumps for irregating farm lands at work on the premises. They are successful. All cultivation and all fer tilizing pays. There is never any loss on labor or loss on fertilizing. What is done on one farm can be done on all. The waste of valuable water for farm uses should not continue.

USES FOR WOOD PULP
THE MODERN WAY OF CONVERTING
TREES INTO USEFUL ARTICLES.

The Material Goats About Ons-BaIf the
Price Of the Genuine ArticIe-TeIsGraph
and Telephone Poiea aud Bricks Some
OF the 1hinEs Manutactured.
II is wonderful how extensively paper
is taking the place OF such substances
as wood brick and iron In various me-
chanical trades. For instance, boards
OF all sizes and shapes are now manu-
featured out of wood pulp very faithful
ly to resemble the grain and texture of
every kind OF wood. The material costs
about one-half the price OF the genuine
article. and is used by carpenters, cabi-
net-makers, picture frame makers and
boat builders for panelling, wainscoting
and decorative work generally where
lightness and durability are required.
Two excellent qualities that the paper
boards possess are that they are not
subject to warping and dry rot There
are no bad knots to mar the appearance
of the surface. and as the material IL
smooth and does not require planning,
and can be easily cut with a fine saw,
there seems every reason to be-
lieve that 1t will In time be used even
more than II is.
Telegraph and telephone poles, flag

sells are the latest development in the
line of manufacture from paper They
are made OF pulp in which small
amount Of borax, tallOw. and other In
gradients are mixed. These are cast
in mould in the form OF a hollow rod
OF the desired diameter and length.
The poles and spars are claimed to be
lighter and stronger than wood. They
do not crack or split. and 1t is said that

proof by saturating 1t In a strong solu-
ton OF alum water. When thoroughly
dry the paper poles and spars thus
treated will resist the action OF flames.
The manufacture OF enamelled paper
bricks, which commenced in 1886 has
now become a definite industry, az
the material has been used for building
purposes all over the United States
with very satisfactory results.
The production OF these bricks on
the hollow principle Is a marked fea-
ture in their form, the object being
practically the same as that sought In
the making OF hollow forged steel

THE SNEEZlNG SEASON.
Some Valuable Hints For wardinE on
Cold.


Cold.
A cold, as nearly every intelligent
person knows. Is the result OF stop

blood, to which one is first sensitive
through feeling OF chill
SO slight Is the chill Oftentimes that
not until the preliminary sneeze comes
Ii the victim aware he or she has been
In the track OF G,aught. or that the
temperature has changed
The usual notion is that by going in
doors, changing to heavier clothing or
retreating from the'moist atmosphere
the danger is averted. These precau-
lions are all well enough. but the first
and most efficaciouB measure should be
to restore the quick flow OF warm blood
through every vein. and so by heat in
stantly counteract the little chill.
One. perhaps the simplest method OF
doing this, has been learned by men
who stand on sentinel duty. who are
obliged to suffer more or less exposure
In winter, or who scorn the comforts
Of cold weather, OF overcoat and UNI
brella
Their method when the temperature
OF the body or extremltles Is lowered,
or a sudden chill or quick change from
warm to cold atmosphere Is endured.

holding every time the inhaled air as
long as possible and then slowly letting

In doing this the imitation OF the
lungs sets the heart into such quick
motion that the blood is driven with
unusual force along Its channels and

This radlates a glow down to the
toes and finger tips and sets up a quick
reaction against the chill. The whole
