next year as IL was found that the build

lom, called forth much discussion. Two
papers by Sisters Beers and Seeley on
"How to make womsn's work on the
farm more interesting and pleasant"
were full Of helpful suggestions. Other
features of the program consisted OF a

off without his lantern on his wheel and
laid in with the Waterman to catch him
on the way back. But the jeweler was
too much for them and came home anoth-

General GaIIifet.

The world in general is just beginning
to learn something of General the Mar
quis de Gallifet, French minister of war,
the ideal cavalry officer of Europe, says
the New York Press. A few months ago
few could have told you aught of him
His name is not in a quarter of the latest
biographical works. Turfmen in New
York learned something about him in 1887
when the Melbourne stable owned a colt
named Gallifet, and called in the betting
ring and elsewhere Gallifete He was a
chestnut by Falsetto out of India, and
lost as many races as he was expected 10
win. But his mission was to introduce
Gen. Gallifet to the United States Barnes
had met the Marquis in Paris and prom
ised to name his finest colt after him
While We have no "silver-bellied" men
in this country, We have a citizen with
a tin stomach. Gen. Snowden Andrews OF
Baltimore was dsemboweled on the bat
tleheld in Virginia quite as COMPLETELY
as Gen. Gallifet was in Mexico without
water or antiseptics his displaced interior
economy was thrown back where it be-
longed and covered with a piece of tent
cloth. No one supposed for a moment he
would live. For decency's sake alone he
was slapped together" sand and all Pos
sioly the sand saved him, for there are
curative and healing properties in water
worn detritls. l am not sure if it had
aught to do with Andrews force of char
acter. The fact that Gallifet has a silver
shield over his tomach and is called .Sil-
Ver-bellied Gallifet' accounts in A LARGE
degree for his immense popularity. Sucb
thing is calculated to tickle "a French
man nearly to death.

sHorLp MY MoRE AT HOWE.


There is a lesson in the story that comes
from New York city o. two Georgia drum
mers representing Georgia manufacturer
of shoes, who went TO New York, rented
an Office, exhibited their samples. and sold
large bills of goods TO Southern purchasers
who positively refused to buy from them
in the South. This Georgia shoe manufac-
turer had displayed his wares and offered
his goods. which were as well made and
were of as good quality as those of the
Northern manufacturers, to the Southern
trade. But the Southern trade would not
buy, that is, not in quantities sufficiently
extensive to make the Southern manufac-
turers business a paying one. 1t is well
known fact that in the summer time mem
bers Of firms and their representatives go
North for the purpose of laying in a sup
ply Of goods for the fall and winter season.
This Georgia manufacturer of shoes
shrewdly saw a chance to make hit and
sell his goods at the same time. Accord
ingly he sent two of his best drummers to
New York city. where they established an
office, displayed their samples and then
went out to pull in the unsuspecting
Southern buyer who is always laboring
under the delusion that New York is the
only place where he can get a good thing
The result was that these Georgia drum
meTs We're able to underbid the New York
dealers, because they had their goods al
ready in the South, and transportation
rates were either done away with or re-
duced to a minimum. The Southern buy
ers caught on at once, and the Georgia
manufacturer now has about as many or
ders as he can fill to supply his home
trade
This Georgia shoe manufacturer in
whose mind the foregoing shrewd move
originated, has done more than simply sue
coed in selling his goods to his own people.
He has given the South a lesson which
shows that this section can be made as
prominent a manufacturing center as the
North and East He has shown the
Southern merchant that he can get his
goods cheaper at home, provided they are
manufactured there, because the cost OF
transportation is saved. He has shown
the Southern merchant, too, that he can
save the price of ticket to New York and
board bill while there for the purpose of
buying his supplies. 1t Is evident that the
Georgia manufacturers goods were equal
in class to those secured in New York or
the Southern merchant would hardly have
taken them even at the reduced price
which was simply the difference between
that quoted in New York and the freight
rate to the Southern point of distribution.
