speaking. about 800 miles long By 100 to
100 miles wide, and covers an area Of from
$1,000 TO 60,OOo square miles. 1t has ad-
vantages for cotton manufacturing un-
equalled by any other country OF the
world. and through the very centre of
this territory runs the Seaboard and its
branch lines.
Briefly. some OF these advantages may
be enumerated:
I'D Elevation above sea level.
"(O Abundant and cheap water power
and coal
10 An abundant supply OF native
American operatives.
20 Low labor cost, because of low cost
of living.
"(b) Unsurpassed healthfulness.

 Remarkable Escape from Death.

D. w. Krider of Wharton, Ohio, a member of the Third regular artillery, who was shot twenty-six times in the Filipino outbreak in February, and who received the most terrible wounds in the Manila campaign, still survives. He was shot at 1:30 o'clock in the aft ernoon, and because he was thought to have been killed, was not treated by the surgeon until o'clock that night. His escape from death on the field is one of the most remarkable on record.

- - = = - - A Curious Rescue.

A curious rescue was effected recent ly in the County Wicklow, Ireland Some time in April last an unfortunate sheep became imprisoned on part of the rugged cliffs arising from the banks of the Upper Lake Glendalough, and though many plans were proposed to get it down, no one was found wills ing to undertake the risk, when a gen. tleman from South Africa volunteered to rescue the poor animal. After an arduous and exciting climb, he man. aged to reach the spot, and, having at tached rope to the sheep, it was lowered to the lake, where boat was ready to receive it. So hungry was t-e poor brute that when dangling in the air it tried to bite at the tufts of grass on the face of the cliff. It must have died of starvation in a very few days more, as every bit of herbage within reach was nibbled to the earth Some idea of the risk this rescuer ran may be gathered from the fact that this particular spot has always been considered inaccessible, and that it took the gentleman fully two hours to make the ascent. The lake Inoer the cliff is forty fathoms deso.

MANY WEEDS GOOD TO EAT.
Certain Kinds Are Often Used for Food
 by Families.

by Families.
 Go out on any farm and see the farm CT hoeing away at the weeds that threaten to choke his crop. You may hear him say things that wouldn't sound nice about the weeds. The dan delion isn't the only weed eaten by people who know what's good to eat. Take wild chicory, the plague of the farmer. It makes one of the finest salads served, piquant, tender and wholesome. Chariock or wild mustard is another bane of the farmer. He doesn't know that as a pot herb it can give a soup delightful flavor. The dock-weeds-how annoying the whole family are! Yet the broad leaf vari- ety and the curly leaf are used all over Europe as table vegetables. There's pokeweed, commonest of all. In France It is cultivated. It takes It's place. Sorre1. fictitious and chevril are looked on as fayoring for soup Everybody in American hates a net tie and can't see what use it is In Scotland Poland and Germany tender young nettle leaves are used as greens.
 
 The Germans boil them with other vegetables to give them a piquant fla- vor. Purslane is another weed that can be treated in the same way Most people think milkweed poisonous. It is medicinal vegetable, with a de- iightful flavor all it's own. The young leaves, when they are in just the right condition. are a cross between spinach and asparagus, and in salad are de- lieious. Serrel, fettieus and chevril are looked on as field pests by ninety nine out of every hundred farmers. The hundredth one picks the choicest leaves from these weeds and sends them to market, where they find a ready sale for salads to be eaten with game and for f1avoring herbs-for herbs they are, and not weeds.-.New York World.

Negro Colony to Be Established.

A negro colony is to be established on the farm of former Sheriff W. How ard Lake at Oak Grove, near Elem ington. N. J. Everything has been planned on a big scale. The town has been laid out by a competent engineer, and the maps provide for every need of a modern town. Historic and be- loved names have been selected for some of the streets. while other thor cugilfares will beal the names of states in the union. Lincoln avenue prom ises to De the principal ore in the town The industrious and religious interests contemplate a big shoe factory to be run on the cooperative plan. A large grove has been set aside for camp meeting grounds. Many of the lead ing cclored people of the state are per suadsng their brethren to purchase lots \ great many of those who indorse the plan are preachers. The name of the own will be Rome.

The Dean and the Lunatic.

Dean Stanley had great respect for presence of mind, and used with great delight to tell story of presence of mind by which he liberated himself from a dangerous visitor. Since he was willing to see almost any one who asked for him, he once told his servant to usher into his study gentleman who had called, and who happened to bear a nan.e which was familiar to him. When the gentleman appeared he proved to be an entire stranger. It was evident there had been some mis- take. This became stil more evident when, advancing with an air of great excitement, the gentleman exclaimed: sir, I have a message to the queen from the Most High. I beg that you deliver it instantly" "In that case" said the dean, taking up his hat, there is not moment to be lost. Let us go at once" They went downstairs into the hall, and. opening the door, the dean requested his visitor to step out. No sooner had he done so than the dean shut the door behind the lunatic.
