fairly Illustrate the results of growth
that have occurred. As a rule the east
has been stationary. while the west has
gained heavily in population, and there
fore in representation.
Ratios have generally been adopted that
would not seriously diminish the represen-
tations of the slow-growing states while
by additions to the size of the house due
representation was given to the states
that had rapidly increased in population.
sixth congress, Alabama will held her
present representation, even If the ratio
should be considerable in excess of 2OO,-
600, for Alabamas population in 1900 will
approach two millions. The population of
the state in 1890 was 151S,O17; in 1850, it
was 1262,595 in 1870, it stood at s96.992.
The gain between 1850 and 1890 was just
about 20 per cent, and similar gain in
the present decade would carry the pop
ulation of the state to about 100000
About 1S5O00O is a more probable esti-
mate. This would insure the retention of
nine representa- tives in Alabama IL for
mer methods of determining a ratio be
adopted.
But there are some who say the house is
too large-that it should, for the sake of
tho dispatch of business and the saving
of expenses, be cut down to 300 members,
or even less than that. If that be done,
Alabama must give up a member, thus in
volving larger congressional districts and
a general alteration in district lines.

WHEN DEWEY COMES HOME.

From the Nashville American.
Aldready plans are on foot for celebrate
ing the Homecoming of Dewey. There is
to be a dinner in New York. the cost of
which from latest reports will be $50,000
and of course thiss will be but beginner,
for the round of entertainments which will
follow with the gallant admiral as the CEN
trail figure will have no end. We hope,
however, that Dewey will come home via
San Francisco and give the rest of the
country chance to extend some hospi-
tally before he gets to New York. New
York is a fine town and every American is
proud of it, but 1t is not the whole coun-
try. There Is no other place perhaps where
900 men could afford to give 800 each for
the pleasure of eating dinner with the
admiral, but wholesome hospitality will
await him at every step of his journey
and this is worth all the $4,000 dinners
that could be cooked. If Dewey came
home by San Francisco, he would of course
stop at ST. Louis and might come over to
Nashville. In any event. when Dewey
comes ONE he should come across the
continent.

SHOWED waEELER,s LETTERS.

From the Chicago Times-Herald. "
Washington, May 11.-Appropos the I'M
founded rumors that General Joseph
Wheeler is to wed the widow of George w.
Childs, that lady has given friend a bit
of gossip which may explain the origin of
these reports.
During the late war the general gall
lantly wrote Mrs. Childs long letters tell
ing of his experiences ia camp and felo.
They were of SO impersonal a nature that
Mrs. Childs permitted some of her friends
to read the interesting variations of the
little fighter Subsequently 1t was Learned
that General Wheeler had manifolded his
letters and sent copies to other friends,
which would indicate they were not of as
tender character would befit a wooing
This practice of spreading information Is
not a new habit with the general. AS a
member of congress he has attracted at
tention by the great quantities of gov arn.
ment publicati tons he sends to his constitu-
ents. 1t is said his bill for public docu-
ments in excess of his allowance has run
as high as $1,000 in a single congress.

A DAYS WORK.
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
He was seated on the steps of the Girls
void street side of the city hall. Tramp
Yes.
His face was rough and red and bleary
and berry. One shoe was boot-pardon
that-and the other boot was a shoe.
The mans hat was brmless and all
crushed in on top, and around his neck in
lieu of collar he had twisted and old
frayed and greasy string tie. His coat
was torn and green brown on shoulders,
his trousers ragged around his feet. He
wore no vest, and the cheap negligee shirt
may have been blue-once. Apparently the
man was doing. His eyes were closed
But he may have held them that way be-
cause he was too lazy to wink. He breatheI
hard. By and by he opened one eye half
way and squinted at the passers-by in the
street. Finding it not all inconvenient to
keep that eye open, he opened the other
1t was easy, and the man emitted a self
satisfied grunt.
Looking down just then he observed a.
bit of raveling on the left leg of his dusty.
torn trousers. He eyed that travelling crit
icaIdy. He held his head to one side and
squlnted at 1t again. Taking a long breath,
he slipped his hand down his trouser leg
His arm wasn't long enough for the hand
to reach the raveling. The man sighed
For fully five minutes he gazed at that bit
of thread. Then with superhuman effort
he inclined his body and reaching down
picked off the raveing. 1t dropped from
his fingers to the stones, and settling back
the man rested his head against the pil!a r
and closed his eyes.

USES OF FLORIDA MOSS.

The freeze of this year killed the Florida
moss. People VINO do not realize what this
means must think that this sombre gray
drapery of the southern forests gives 100
bales week of moss hair" to the north
ern uphoQst erers from the little village of
Micanopy, Fla, alone, and other factories
in the state yield many times as much and
this is only about one-half of the weight
of the moss when taken from the trees.
The other half is the useless envelope to
the inner and valuable hair says the Scien-
tific American.
The moss when first gathered is green
ish gray. When killed by frost or lack of
proper sustenance, 1t is easily distinguished
from the live moss. 1t turns gray, and il
bitten feels soft. while the live moss
'crunches' between the teeth. But the
outer covering will remain on either the
dead or fresh moss for months. If the
moss, either alive or killed, is simply piled
in heaps in moist place and covered with
muck or sand, it soon begins to ferment
Property conducted, the fermentation
means the complete destruction of the out
er skin, and the moss Is left duly "colored
i. e., showing the dark brown color of
the hair.
1t reaches this stage in the hands of the
pckers, who then deliver 1t in loose wagon
loads. like hay, to the gins. There are
about fifty OF these ginning establishments
In the state-very simple affirs. The
building is constructed as cheapfy as pos
slble and osting from $500 to $S00-no in
surance Is obtainable. The floor is six feet
from the ground and made of Stats one
and one-half inches apart, SO that short
fbres, sticks and dirt will sift out. In the
building is nothing but a cheap modifica-
ton of a cotton gina cylinder two feet
long and of the same diameter, with two
inch teeth, which beat the moss against
similar stationary teeth, taking out sticks
and rubbing Off most of the adhering re-
mains of the outer covering of the moss.
The machine is cheap and very inefficient
The resulting moss is either ''2-cent moss
or Scent moss''-the price per pound after
ginning, according to the care with which
the picker delivers it. This is the only
preparation the moss receives.

THE Cosr or PARLTAMENrs.

Paris Correspondence of the Chicago Rec
ord.
It appears that the most costly Parlia-
ment of Europe is. that of France. The
senate and chamber of deputies eat up an
nuaIly 100000 francs. The same item for
the other chief European nations is as fol-
lows: Spain, 2,2So,OO0 francs; Italy, 2,15O,-
600 francs; Austria, 100000 francs; Great
Britain, 1,2Ss, 600 francs; Belgium, 100000
Portugal, $4,000 francs; Germany. 45,00f
francs. The traditional economy of the
Germans in governmental affairs stands
out strikingly here. The legislative btEiies
of poverty stricken Spain and Dankfupt
Portugal both cost their citizens more than
the Reichstag does the prosperous Ger
man people. France spends 2,S75 francs a
day on its lawmakers. The salary of a
French deputy is 5000 francs a year. The
president, or speaker receives $1,000 francs
and a well appointed official residence
There are 243 employees connected witfBtlle
chamber, nearly one for every two depu-
ties. II d

The GROWING Cr0Ds.

The government crop report for May es-
Inmates the acreage in winter wheat at
little in excess of that of last year, but
the condition is about 10 per cent. below
the condition of the crop of last year on
May 1. But favorable conditions hereafter,
together with the seeding of spring wheat,
may overcome the difference and give the
country another great crop. The crop in
California is beginning to ripen, and the
yield Will probably be heavy.
But whether the American crop be great
or not, prices of wheat will probably not
be high, because favorable reports are
coming in from the other wheat growing
countries In Russia the condition of the
crop is satisfactory; India will have nearly
a nominal crop; Roumania. large crop;
Italy and Austria will have wheat to sell,
and the crop of Argentina, already har-
vested, is very large. 1t is unoficially cs-
tilnated at 100000 bushels. Altogether
there will be wheat enough. The crop of
the world promises to exceed the crop of
last year, thus insuring reasonable prices
of bread the world round. Conditions in all
wheat growing countries are now generally
favorable.
The corn and cotton crops are also mat
tiers of general interest in the south Con-
siderable cotton seed is still going into the
grouGs and the approximate acreage is still
lii doubt. 1t is probably about 5 per cent.
less than that of last year. The crop Is
late. and very little of 1t had been work
ed before May l. Mississippi reports thus
far a firm stand; Louisiana, fair stand;
good stands are reported in Texas; there
are some poor stands in Arkansas, but in
West Tennessee the plant is growing well.
The condition of the crop is reasonably
good, but considerable of the total crop
is yet to be planted. The reports from the
southern corn fields are, as a rule, ia
vorable. In southern Texas some corn is
tasselng.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
No Blackberries This Year.

This town." says the Eufaula Times,
ais suffering from one of the unfortunate
results of the cold of last winter There
are no dewberries. Never noticed it, did
you? The crop is non est A dewberry
hasn't been seen this season, or If seen it
has not been recorded. The cold, the zero
weather, did up the bushes completely.
The brunette seller of pie material is not
annoying the nervous housekeepers. He
and his numerous companions are in other
fields. Chopping cotton, perhaps. But the
juicy pie is also absent. There is the in
convenience, or rather the misfortune, of
the loss"
And the worst of 1t Is, the rest OF the
blackberry crop is also lacking. Very few
blossoms are seen, and practically Ala
bama must this year get along without
blackberry crop. The money loss is very
considerable, for dried blackberries are an
article of commerce, and the demand is
always good. Beyond the money loss.
which is not confined to dried berries, is
the greater loss of a wholesome article on
the farms and near the farms in the state.
it really Is of that nature. Something
must be purchased to take the place of the
berries in the homes of the people. 1t Is
difficult to estimate the total loss created
by the zero weather in this one direction,
but it must aggregate tens of thousands
of dollars, and it may approach still higher
figures when all features of the loss are
taken Reconsideration The only COM
pensation that can be reasonably foreseen
is booming crop hereafter, for a year
rest will put double vigor or something APP
preaching It in the bushes next year.

so fla rHER SAYS.

From the Boston Courier.
I wish that I'd been grandpa's child
That l could had the joy
OF fishing in those good old Gays
When father was a boy.
For then the fish grew bigger lar
Than they do nowadays
And literally packed the streams
At least, so father says.
They never caught a sucker then
That didn't weigh a ton, I, Z ;.
And pickerel were longer than A.N
A modern Armstrong gun. ~
They used to yank out halibut =
In hundreds from our bays, -
And shad ran up the banks to bite n
At least, so father says. IA, il
They never though of using bait Il
To lure the willy trout, III l.
They reached >bushel basket down. II
And simply dipped them out, J j
And in about an hour or two
They'd fill up several drays
And SOW them through the neighborhood@
At least, so father says.
In short they caught so many fish,
And fore their sport was through
The stream where they were fishing would
Go down q yard or two,
And not an angler failed to come
Home loaded in those days y
A habit father still pursucs, i. II
AT least. SO mother says. /, .a1,I
