A BIG LUNBERM

From the New Orleans Picayune
 c. F. Wiehe, secretary of the Edward Hines Lumber company, of Chicago, the concern which has the reputation of hand ling more lumber than any other one firm on the continent, arrived in New Orleans last night and registered at the St. Charles hotel. Wiehe gets down here once in every two or three years, and he is now in the south buying lumber.
 In the year 1897 the Hines company ham, died over 15S00O feet of lumber, which at that time was said to be the largest busi- ness conducted by any one lumber firm in the country. This year this same concern expects to handle 22O, 900 900 feet of lumber a large per cent. of which will be white and yellow pine. The yellow pine will amount to about 150 O00, ,OO0 feet.
 MT. Wiehe has been up in Mississippi. He struck the Illinois Central railroad yester- day at Orvisburg, Miss, and there took the southbound train for this city. He will be here several days, and will probably attend the meeting of lumber men at the Grune- wald hotel today.

FACING CoCKRoACHEs

New York Letter in the Pittsburg Dis
 patch.
 One man in New York makes a business and also considerable money out of the unique occupation of racing cockroaches. Those who attend his exhibitions in long room on the top floor of an Eastside build- ing care more for poker or horse rac- ing, roulette or the faro bank. Two tin troughs, with vertical sides, thirty feet long, constitute the course. The roaches- usually large croton bugs-being started at one end, sprint to the other. the one ar irving first capturing the stakes and his packers all the money. It is no remark able circumstance for 1000 to change hands in one hour. Men have trained reaches which they enter against all corners. One is named Longstreet after the Dwyer horse, and he is a whopper, about three inches long. When he gets under way he touches the ground only in high places. The handicappins Is done by sprinkling fine sand in the trough--the deeper the sand the more difficult the progress. I don't know whether this institution comes under the head of gambling houses or not but the practice of betting on these little bugs is certainly not any more hazardous than risking money on the bang tails.

Cost of Cotton Seed Oil Mills.

Alabama had last year twenty-one cotton seed oil mills. q gain of three over the pre- vious year. These mills do not crush over one-quarter of the seed crop of the state, and there is room for at least fifty more of these profitable and useful factories. No eotton-growing county should be without at least one.
 These mills are known in the trade by the nmber of tons of seed they can handle in a day. A ton of seed is about sixty bushels. A twenty-ton mill can be erected, ready for operation, for St, 900; a thirty-ton mill for s25.OOO, and an eighty-ton mill for S6O,O0o. Professor Kilgore furnishes to the Tradesman many figures of operation that are of general interet. A twenty-ton mill running 100 days of twenty-four hours each in 0 season would handle 2,e00 tons of seed; thirty-ton mill, 5000 tons of seed, and an eighty-ton mill, 5000 tons. Seed costs as a rule delivered at the mill $S.5O a ton. the farmer receiving s6 ton or ten cents bushel, and the railroads the bal ance. The handling of the seed in the mill costs from $25O to sS.5O a ton. The total cost may be put at $11.5O a ton. The products of ton are thus stated:
 725 lbs. meal at s16 per ton... =. ...$ 50
 275 lbs. oil, g gal. at 1Sc. per gal...... 6 66
 $50 lbs. hulls at B per ton... =. ... 1.27
 % lbs. linters at 2c... ... ... =. .... 50
 125 lbs. loss... 2000 lbs. Total value.... ...... ......S14 9
 This shows that there is net profit of $2,73 for every ton worked. Even if the profit were cut in two, there would still re- main enough for a handsome dividend. The profits of a small mill are equally good, for they do not have to contend with the difficulties of storage and damaged seed.
 As not over one-third of the seed crop is handled in oil mills, and as there is a lively home and foreign demand for all oil mill products, there Is plainly room for expansion in the mill business. Alabama at any rate needs more mills. This state should have mills that can thoroughly re- fine the oil to the point of use for cooking purposes, for it is far superior to lard for such purposes-far more healthful, nutri- tious, and altogether better
 The best combination consists of an oil mill, fertilizer factory and a stock yard. In such an establishment threc-fourths of the meal would be turned into excellent fertilizing material, and the remaining one fourth would be fed with the hulls to the stock in the yards of the company. Such a concern would be an all-the-year mill, securing profits at every turn. If well managed such factory would earn profits large enough to satisfy even the most ayaracious.

guests of Brewton at the barbecue. He was fin town again yesterday. but this time on official business. He said that arrangements for the barbe- cue had been perfected and it was hoped that representatives of the press, and the public generally. would honor Brewton with their presence on Friday.

 "Come home with me and take pot-lucl5 dinner" said a man who knows how to live well. He looked out on the hot street as he waited for his car, and continued his hos pitable speech. "Tll give you a common southern dinner-vegetables and bacon. fried chicken, rice. corn pone, buttermilk. beaten biscuit, melons, and the like.''
 "Delicious-and very sweet of you to ask me. But why beaten biscuit?
 "Only sort fit to eat Bother your puffed- up big biscuit! Give me the beaten ones."
 Do you know" spoke a third person, himself possessed of full knowledge as to how to live well, there is a young woman of Montgomery, good family and best so- cial position and all that, who is now earn- ing sS0 a week in New York by making beaten biscuit?'
 'Nonsense!" said the hungry man.
 q tell you the truth,' was the answer. You know her family and l give you her name, not for publication, but as a guaran- tee of good faith, as the reporter said when he kissed his sweetheart. She Is an expert in making beaten biscuit, and she is ac- tually earning $50 week by making this sort of biscuit and teaching others how to make it."
 The hungry man satisfied himself by a cheese sandwich and a glass of beer.

The Kaiser Opposed 10 Arbitration.

The great meddler of Europe has im- pressed himself again. His personality has protruded itself into the business of the peace conference, and he is no doubt as self satisfied as the cat was that had swallowed the canary. The German emperor seems to think that as he has at present an army ready for instant service, an excellent army in his opinion, outranking any other army especially for quick use, he should not be asked in case of trouble with another nation to accept arbitration at the hands of a permanent tribunal appointed by the supreme courts of the signatory powers. So it has practically come about that the effort to establish such a tribunal has been shelved, and in It's stead q board of limited powers, sitting at The Hague. constituted of the ordinary representatives of the DOW CTS at that obscure capital, has been pro- posed. Such q court would not command the respect that court formed under the original American plan would have com manded: and it is not known that the Kaiser will accept even the modified plan.
 Arbitration is about all that Is left be- fore the peace conference. The Russian plan of forbidding the use of new explosives or new guns has failed to win support, and

CYCLONE LESSONS

From the Oshkosh Northwestern.
 At New Richmond those who took refuge in the cellars and basements of brick build- ings fared the worst as the heavy falling walls crushed in the floors ard buried the refugees. As a usual thing those who took refuge in the cellars of frame buildings es- capped with less seventies. In the latter ease the buildings were either carried from their foundations bodily, leaving the refu- gees exposed only to flying timbers or else the framework was torn into fragments and blown away, leaving the more solid floors as protecting coverings to those un- derneath. Refuge in the lower stories of any sort of building proved of little avail.

CONGRESSMAN BANKHEAD
From the Tuscaloosa Times.

From the Tuscaloosa Times.
 Hon. J. H. Bankheads presence in Tus- caloosa is alays greeted with interest, as no man in public office has ever accom- plished so much for this section. His work in congress in behalf of the Warrior inn provements has been valuable to us be- yond estimating. To the better serve his district he gave up the chalrmanship of one committee to be 0 working private on the rivers and harbors committee. He now stands the best chance to become the dem ocratic leader of the next house, which means speaker in another deal if the dem- ccrats have a majority.

AN IDEA OF ADVERTISING

From the Brooklyn Chronicle.
 Here is the whole idea of advertising in a nutshell:
 1. Use advertising media reaching the greatest number of possible purchasers.
 2. Write your advertisements with as much care as if space were worth $10O a line.
 3. Talk to the point; never beat about the bush.
 4. Use only descriptive matter enough to cover the essentials. Use no wordy disser- tation simply because you are the proud possessor of a vocabulary and know how to use it.
 g. Be business-lke, direct, honest, and above all else, truthful.
 G. Make no promises you cannot carry out You may fool the people once, or possibly twice, but after that your 'ad' space would be wasted.
 '. First, last, and all the time. Quote prices, prices, prices! Prices sell goods, prices offer a means of comparison with other merchants not for you, but for the minds of your readers. Again, quote prices.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

 From the New York Press.
 A woman likes to have her husband her master; what she objects to is his admit ting it.
 It is only in fashion pictures that women really sit down on the floor to put on their stockings
 No woman ever really believes her hus- band is brute unless he persists in tell ing her the truth.
 One reason you can seldom tell what woman is driving at is that when she is going to make pleerust she sets out to trim the h0neysuckle vines.
 When a woman is driving her husbands favorite horse and of its own accord 1t turns in and stops at another womans house 1t is a sign he shouldn't let her drive it.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE CORN FIELD

Sarah Abby Davis in Yonkers Statesman I'm only just scarecrow man, designed
 to frighten crows, And made of nails and wooden rails while
 miscellaneous clothes Set off my graceful figure in its most art
 istic pose. But I'm not the one to chafe because some
 other man Car wear a first hand suit, and Is built
 upon plan Which enables him to dance in a way I
 never can. I knew the day they builded me that life must be joke For manly dignity was crushed with ora
 conclusive stroke-- They nailed a bonnet on my head which
 some one called a toque. rosters tail adorned the toque-I keenly
 felt the shame or looking like a savage wild in search of
 hHnan game, Until l the gentle sex seemed proud
 to Wear the same. And now I never feel the need of conso- laton's balm, And, though look trifle rough I strike
 no blow to harm, And even crows themselves can sec m
 great cause for alarm. Tho little children on their way to school all shout at me, And when l wave ny ragged sleeve tIieir
 laugh is loud and free I'm glad they're not afraid to laugh at ora queer man they see. Some people arc from habit sad; tbir faces
 seldom get The blessing of an uasorced smile to ban ICh lnn AY To such 1 soem jo. v dose for worrv and
 regret. There's not thing In this broad field for
 which l would complain, All Natures changes seem to me like one
 long goodly train l welcome as they come along the sum
 shine and the rain. Excursions have not many charms for one with stifened knees, And so seldom leave my post, but calmly
 take my ease, And let the world, possessed with "Go,,
 rush by !n jam and squeeze Yet, though the sphere Of my employ to 7
 farm life is confined, More blackbirds flock to city streets than
 all the farms combined But blue e-dressed ScarecroWs with a star
 arc all the ones they mind. The pleasures Of my life, of course, are
 nearly all home made; on boughten goods l can't depend-their
 color must all fade And making, you will concede, is quite q
 pleasant trade. All day hear the song of birds and hum
 of insects near; The corn like one vast army stands, whose soldiers guard and cheer. And to my rhymes, which scare the crows, do kindly lend ln ear. I'm quite eontented with my lot, and yet,
 for all of that, Next time I see q searecfow girl who
 wears a mannish hat, Hi ask her to exchange with me, and also share my fiat.

at Evanston, Wyo., and the cattle for
which they received the medals We're
raised on the open range in Uinta coun-
ty, in that state. The Denver Daily
Stockman, in speaking of them, said:
Chambers 6. Whitney of Evanston,
Wyo., won the sweepstakes, and, ac-
cording to the judges, have the best
exhibit of cattle in the yards. There is
some difference of opinion among the
stockmen regarding the value of diff
ferent breeds of cattle, but they are all
agreed that this pen of 2year-olds is
one Of the best punches of cattle that
has ever been brought together. They
were raised on the open range in Uinta
county. Wyo., and are magnificent
specimens of Hereford steers. They
are dehorned, and have the solid colors
and other points that show their good
breeding"
The cattle in question won the $3.50
sweepstakes for the best load of 2-year-
old steers from any state, and the first
prize of $3.50 for the best load of 2-year-
olds in the northern division, which in
cludes Colorado, Wyoming, Utah,
Idaho Nevada, Oregon, Washington,
Montana and California.
BY winning these prizes Chambers &
Whitney scored big victory for Wyo-
ming, and are yet receiving. the we'll
earned congratulations of their friends.
