These vast corporations must either buy out the young and vigorous rivals preparing to take the field against them or else they must keep prices for their products down to a level which will make 1t exceedingly difficult to twist out dividends on watered stock

there lived a maiden whom many men loved. pure as the snow. Her musical name was Grad. She dwelt in India, where the tigers come from. One gloam- Ing she was leaning on the backyard fence waiting for the cfahdestine coming Of the only one" her sure-enough lover, though the villagers didn't know that she loved one better than the others. As she leant and fingered. loved and longed, a maiden-eating tiger passed that way and spied her. With excellent good taste, the tiger seized her-great Seize'ri-and bore her off Into the darksome, dank, dreary jungle and there devoured her.
 The entire village was aroused by the cries of the maiden as the tiger bore her away. and at once every man in the village, not to mention the small boys who whistled, armed himself with whatever was at hand and proceeded to hunt that tiger. By and by they found that tiger in his lair-whatever that is and he was licking his chops-whatever fortable, but he strengthened himself up to receive his visitors as Royal Bengal Tiger should Seeing him, the head man of the village cried out in great wrath:
 Where is that sweet girl Grad you ate?"
 The tiger fell down dead. His proud heart was broken And so to this day we have that tender term, sweet girl grad u-ate." Even SO 1t is written.

I'll have to give each nose sheath Shake, Mulleary and Goethe. Mulleary's line was quite the same: He has more hair, but far less fame. I would not from that fame retrench- But he is foreign, being French. Yet high his naughty head he heaves. The only one done up in leaves. They're rather limited on wreath Shake, Mulleary and Goethe.

DAMAGE TO CROPS.
Loss From Overflow of Tennessee
 River $1O0.oO0.

Huntsville. May S.-(Special)-It is conservatively estimated that the over flow of the Tennessee River has caused a loss of not less than s100.Oo0 to the far mers of the Tennessee Valley. In Madi- son and Marshall counties alone the loss of crops in river bottom lands will not be less than $2oo00. In many cases the flooded crops had been replanted once this season and the necessity of replant- ing again with high priced seed corn and cotton will be heavy loss to the far mer. At Whitesburg last night the river was more than a mile and a half wide and thousands of acres of cotton and corn were under water.

SUGAR CULTURE IN AFRICA.
THE INDUSTRY PROMISES TO BECOME
VERY INPORTANT.

An interesting development In
British Central Africa is that OF the
cultivation OF sugar. We learn from
the British Central African Gazette,
published at Zomba, that In the rich,
fertile district around the lower Fam.
besi and the Shire rivers the sugar
industry already promises To become
very important within the next few
years. One company alone has 100
acres under cultivation at the present
time, and shortly intends TO bring in
a further tract OF $500 acres; while
several other companies and private
planters are either making prepara.
tions for planting sugar or have al.
ready started plantations. The. land,
according TO reports recently to hand,
Is highly suited Tn the growth OF
sugar cane, and there seems to be an
ample supply OF labor, while the sugar
grown is said 10 be superior to that
from Egypt. Sugar cane growing is
an industry, moreover, that gives a
good return for a comparatively small
outlay OF capital, and, with the ex.
perince gained 10 Natal, the district
around Chinde should speedily become
one OF the great cane-sugar producing
centers Of the world. A hope is ex.
pressed that British manufacturers OF
machinery and agricultural imple.
ments will not fail to grasp the op.
portunity which presents itself. As
the country is staked out and divided
up into plantations, the demand for
tools and implements will steadily
increase, and as the canes grow. mills
for crushing and refining will become
necessary. It's, indeed, asserted that
that for the next ten years the British
manufacturer OF machinery for treat.
ing sugar cane and for general agri.
cultural purposes will find his best
customers in Southeast Africa, il only
he is enterprising enough to seize the
opportunity.
