MONEY IN CORNsrALKs.
SIX Commodities Are Made of II, and the
Crop Is Worth 5000, OOO, O0G Year.

Every year 25O,OO00OO tons of corn
stalks go to waste in this county, but
this is To be so no longer. 1t is estlmat-
ed that newly devised methods of utiliz-

used crop a value OF 5000, 900, 900 year.
Six commodities a.e now made of corn
stalks, viz: Cellulose, worth $500 a ton,

the celluiose swells in such manner as
to automatically close it. With Is tons
of stalks, worth $50, one ton of such cell
lulose is made, for which as already
stated. the government is now paying at
the rate of $400 a ton. Two factories,
one in Rockford, H., and another in
Owensbpro, KY, are now making corn>
stalk cellulose, together with other pro-
ducts of less value. AS respects the
cornstalk cattle pod, it is stated that the
stalks when ground to coarse meal,
cooked, sweetened with molasses and
pressed into cakes, form one OF the most
nutritive ard valuable foods yet placed
on the market The absorptive power of
cellulose dust fits it admirably for the
OF dynamite by mixing with
such dust being superior
even to guncOtton.

WONDERFUL GROWTH.
Industrial Outlook of the South Was Never
Fine.

Industrial Outlook of the South Was Never
So Fine.
Almost every day we hear of some new
cotton mill in the south.
On August 1st, 1890, there were in the
south LIPS 900 cotton spindles; last Au-
gust there were 100000 spindles, a
gain of 1 ,945 900 spindles in eight years,
or over 100 per cent.
By the first of next August another
great increase of the number of cotton
spindles in the south will be noted.
More than fifty cotton mills ale now
unuer construction in the south. They
will represent an investment OF 1905
600 and an addition OF 10000 spindles.
Forty southern cotton mills are enlarg-
ing their capacity and will add 100000
new spindles to the number already in
operation in the south.
Within five m nths SIT 100000 will be
invested in cotton mill property in the
south, and LOO 600 spiudles will be
added 10 the pr ductive capacity of this
section.
South Carolina leads in this work of
Improvement with 375 900 new spindles,
and N nth Carolina comes second with
1856 900.
Most of the new southern mills will
make finer lines of goods than the ayers
age mill row operating in the south.
Hosiery and knitting mills are incIeaS-
ing in number in this section rapidly and
a silk mill Will soon be established in
North Carolina.

CASTELLANE NO COUNT.
American Heiresscs Have Been Marrying
Bogus LOrdiings.


The Vicomte de Boyer, an expert in
such matters, has recently declared
that the count de Castellane, the hus-
band of Anna Gould, is no count.
While great many discerning
American citizens were assured of this
fact at the time of the royal marriage,
they will be pleased to have their opln-
ions sustained by such reputable
authority. The vicomte succlnctly
explains the affair as follows:
"Fhere were two Jastellane families,
one from Provence and one from Tou-
louise. The former, which is no" ex-
tinct, rightly bore the title. TIE lou
louise Castellanes, to whom belongs
Miss Goulds husband, never had
title, but assumed one when the Pro.
vence died out.
'sCount De Rohan- Chabo, Who married
Miss Hayward, is not count either.
His name is Chabot. The name De
Rohan he took from his first wife.
''There is no Baron De Giers, although
the man whom Chauncey M. Depew's
ward, Miss Collins, married last year
bears that name.
1.-THE Due Decazes. husband of Mary
Singer, of New York, is son of police
project and bears title Of no value in
France, being granted by the king OF
Denmark.
Count De Villars, who married
Garcia Livingstone, has no right to
title. He is descended from man
who came to Paris and started in the
hotel business and quietly assumed the
title of count.
"Clara Ward married an alleged
Prince De Chimay. There is no original
Prince De Chimay. Chimay mar
RED princess and took the title of
prince"
If this story be true, and the count is
reduced to plebian ranks, so to speak, it
will be severe shock to the blue
blooded Goulds, and a developer of
painful suggestions to other aspiring
American heifesses, In the words
of that popular song, doting American
papas should "get their moneys
worth" by closely investigating the
titles of prospective son-iu-law lord,

A Country With One Policeman.


There is one country in the world,
and probaly only one, which gets along
with single policeman; that is Iceland.
Iceland is pee pied by descendants of
Vikings, including Danv famous war;
riors and heroes, but they are so law
abiding that they have no need of
policemen. The solitary officer, in spite
of his great responsibility, has very
easy time. He is maintained more for
ornament and dignity than for use.
The Icelanders think it would not do to
have capital without a policeman, and
so they keep one. This police force is
large in one sense. It's member is six
feet high, broad shouldered and hand
somely uniformed.

There came to me late one night q
stranger in widest despair resolved to
commit suicide that night if / could
not help him, says Professor Munster
berg in The Atlantic. He had been a
physician, but had given up his prac-
tice because his brother, on the other
side of the ocean, hated him and had
him under his telepathic influence,
troubling him from over the sea with
voices which mocked him and with i'm
pulses to foolish actions He had not
slept nor had he eaten ANYTHING fer
several days. and the only chance for
life he saw was that a new hypnotic in
fiuence might overpower the mystical
hypnotic forces.
| soon found the source Of his trou-
ble In treating himself for wound he
had misused cocaine in an absurd way,
and the hallucinations of voices were
the chief symptom Of his cocainism
These products of his poisoned brain
had sometimes reference to his brother
in Europe, and thus the telepathic sys-
TEN grew in him and permeated his
whole life. ] hypnetized him, and sug-
gested to him with success to have
sleep and food and a smaller dose of
cocaine. Then I hypnotized him daily
for six weeks. After ten. days he gave
up cocaine entirely :. after three weeks
the voices disappeared, and after that
the other symptoms faded away. 1t was
not, however, until the end that the
teiepathic system was exploded.
: Even when the voices had gone he
for awhile felt his movements controlled
over the ocean, and after six weeks,
when had MIN quite well again, he
laughed over his telepathic absurdities.
but assured me that if these sensations
came again he should beunable, even in
