We have grown tired of talking
about cotton factories, still we find
space for the following from the
Pittsburg Dispatch: "From Rich
mond, Va. to Atlanta, Ca, along
the line of the principal railways, it
seems as if it were impossible to get
out of sight of new cotton mills,
either in operation or in course of
construction. These mills are prin-
cipalIy the growth of the last de-
cade."

Outlook for the new cotton crop
is gloomy-unless the rains cease in
the states of Arkansas, Texas and
the Indian Territory at once, crop
will be cut short fully as much as
last year. In many places planting
has had to be done the third time,
in weeds waist high, and unless we
have a lot of favorable weather,
nothing will be made where SO

PARIS LETTER,
From Our REGULAR Correspondent.

PARIS, RANCE, June liz lSUO'
Strange as it may seem, about
the best place to study the United
States at the present time is in the
Paris Universal Exposition. When
you are very close to big thing
you cannot see it. Perspection is
necessary in measuring its scope. |
have just returned from visit to
the building where many Interna-
tional Congresses, Sociologic, Scien-
tifc, Philan thropic, Educational
and Religious are held. The Con-
crosses sit in the large upper halls
where many eminent specialists
from all parts of the world are met
to confer and discuss. In the lower
halls are exhibits of various coun-
tries, and the exhibit of the United
States is in the second room to the
right. In all the rooms of these
buildings are displayed pictures,
tablets, maps, and models of hos
pitals, schools, reformatory insti-
tutions, libraries etc. 1t is inter
esting to know that our country is
ahead of all others in circulating
libraries, and surprising to learn
that Italy somes next. We have
not nearly such large libraries as
some other countries, but the diff
ference is that ours are mobile and
useful while these old country libra
ries are staguant. The great IL
braries of Europe are for savants,
ours are for the people. If you
doubt this try to get into one OF
the old world libraries and see what
a mesh of obstruction and red tape
you will have to struggle through,
You will need to present a written
order before you can enter and the
man from whom you get it is more
inrccessable than a U, S. cabinet
minister. You can enter the Ma
tional Library at Washington, and
I think any library in the United
States, and read without formalitY
or card any book on the shelves.
Mr.. Melville Dewey of the State OF
New York has done more for the
improvement of the circulating
library than any other man. The
idea which possessed him was that
a library sho uld not be mere res
ervoir or museum for rare and Gu
rious books but a reservoir with
pipes leading into every household
In other words dissemination, rath'
er than accumIations, has been his
aim and accomplishment. The
broadcasting of wholesome chaste
literature by means Of the travelling
country libraries of recent inven.
ton is bound to have most salu'
tory effect upon the intelligence of
the country and will doubtless dc
much to neutralize the flood OF
cheap bad books and debasing jour
nalism. "Do you know, said Rus
kin, 'ff you read that book you
cannot read this one?" When we
reflect that only a small proportion
of the really good books can be read
lifetime it is literally true that ir
reading trashy book we are los
ing forever the time to read goot
one.
1t is auspicious for the future in
telligence of the citizens of the
United States and especially of It
ally that these two countries LEAD
all other in the circulating Of
wholesome literature. 1t means
for Italy a completion of her eman-
cipation which was only practically
accomplished when Garabaldi en-
tered Rome and overthrow the
temporal power of the Pope.

he knew how. He quietly went to the
gold commissioner and announced that
he wished to pay his 10 per cent. roy
atty on the product of his claim for a
year, which was $4,000. The commits

EMjNlSCENCE OF RAILROAD.
ING IN ARKANSAS.
Engineer Knew 1t All at First, but
When He Had Taken the Machine
Apart and Put 1t Together Again, the
Results We're Astounding.

"Railroading In Arkansas used to
have its difficulties" Mr.. NJ. NJ. Clark,
st. Louis agent for the Pacific Express
Company, then gave testimony to bear
out this statement.
"Some score or more years ago there
was a little narrOw-gaug. road between
two towns In the western part OF the
State. The rails were laid on unhewn
logs, and they must have served some
purpose, though 1t was not to relieve
the unevenness of the ties. A part Of
the equipment Of this road was loco
motive. This locomotive was Of an an
cient vintage, and had done as much
service as any self-respecting locomo-
tive could reasonably be expected to do,
before it had been sold to the managers
Of this Arkansas road. 1t was loose
in the joints. and rheumatic IN all Its
parts. Whenever 1t was in action 1t
voiced its remonstrances by giving
forth sounds that startled the jewellers
along the line of the road until they got
used to 1t. But as this was the only
locomotive that the road owned. 1t had
to keep on at work, although at the
same time 1t kept on grumbling.
zone day the engineer decided that
he would screw the thing up. and stop
some Of its racket. He was sure that
he knew all that there was to know
about locomotive. and when he
backed his engine out alongside va
cant lot early one afternoon he was
positive he would get through In time
for supper.

with glee, and surrounded by a crowd
of wondering and curious people. The
first thing he did was to take the thing
