Man in the Moon Was T-.e re.

A function recently given ln New port by Mrs. Hermann Gelrichs was de- signed exclusively for women. but in order to compensate in measure for the absence Of the other sex the man in the moon was there in all his glory. A large artificial moon was provided This moon, which was about three feet across, was put on q pole sisty feet high, with a black curtain at It's back and sides. a1.d placed at the rear of the l.:fge sss.}. = fir as the k sts g..,efS-t sz.z. ,el,,..t.a M. e the dinner tables Were placed.

 The duties of husband and wife are distinctly defined among the kaftirs Of South Africa The husband does not expect his wife to build the kraal, or hut. That is his work It takes from five hundred to a thousand young trees to make the beehive kind of dwe ling which is in favor and V is excel lently adapted for M

It Is made from millet and mealies, and is mild but intoXic; 7g. Until 1uite recently everything was carried on the head A Zulu woman will carry 200 pounds of mealies in this fashion. When a Kafir was first seen carrying load by the hand instead of on his head the Dutch thought it a dangerous imita- tion of European fashion. Women have so far asserted themselves as to refuse to hoe the mealies for planting, but they will weed. A woman goes about with her baby tied on her back, ! while she rocks herself and croons to it. When man dies his widow may, if she chooses. become the wife of his brother. She stays at the kraal and all the children, including those of the new marriage, are held to belong to her eldest son, who takes his fathers place as guardian, and has the privil- sege of using. supposedly for the com mon good, all the wages of the young CT sons. It thus sometimes happens that a little boy is head over his mother and older sisters If the widow does not choose to marry the brother, but takes another husband, she loses all control of her children, who stay in their fathers kraal.

Furniture Making IN the South.


recent paper on furniture manufac-
turing in the South, by Mr.. E. M Arm
strong, of High Point, N. c., furnishes
'he loilowlng interesting information:
Kermit me to give a few facts in re-
gard 10 the manufacture of furniture in
iigh Polnt, ~ c., as / am more famIia
win the factories of that place, and as
II Is representative Southern manufac-
turing town. The first factory there. the
high Point Furniture Company began
work IN 1899 They first made cheap
chamber suits. Now there are thirty
three lactorie, one for every one hun
dred and fifty people. Thomasvile, seven
miles from High Point, has twelve, which
manufacture every article of furniture
Whlch man needs from the time he lies
in MS cradle until he sleeps at last in
MS coihn within his windowless palace
III would be tedious to mention the name
OF TIE different factories and their man
ayers and the various articles of furni-
ture manufactured, which include every
thing that is needed for use and orna-
ment in modern dwelling, business
house or office. These goods are shipped
to every State of the Union and to some
foreign countries
The factories have been uniformly and
remarkably successful Regular dividends
ranging from 10 to rs per cent per annum
have been paid in nearly all cases. Stock
sells at good premium without excep-
ton. Not 900 worth of stock is owned
out OF town and none outside of The
State. Many stockholders are young men
and boys now at work at the benches
All labor employed is white with the
exception of a few negroes, who drive days
and handle lumber about the yards. An
air of thrift, cleanliness and prosperity
pervades the entire town. There is moth
ing about the work that is degrading
mentally, morally or physically. 1t is no
uncommon thing for the sons of the rich
est men in the town to begin by turning
lathe by the side of men who support
their families on 81 day or less The
furniture factory has made High Point
what it is today, and already it is widely
known as furniture manufacturing town.
