Time has demonstrated that the

daily at the price of a weekly and you
cannot afford to be without it.
Republican and Democrat alike can

In addition to news, it publishes first
class serial stories and other features
suited to the home and fireside.
The Thrice-a- Week Worlds regular
subscription price is only $l.O0 per year
and this pays for 156 papers. We offer
this unevualed newspaper and the Agi-

"My reasons for taking the temper

partly special" says Dean Farrar
"First-I became convinced that the
use Of alcohol in any form was not a
necessity. l saw that whole nations
have lived and flourished without It,
I believed that the whole race OF man
had existed for centuries previous to It's
discovery.
"Second-I was struck by the lndis'
putable fact that in England hfty thou-
sand inhabitants of our prisons, accus-
toned to strong drink all their lives,
and the majority of them brought into
prison directly or indirectly by 1t, could
be. and were, from the moment OF their
imprisonment, absolutely deprived OF IT,
not only without loss, but with entire
gain to their personal health.
"Third-I derived from the recorded
testimony of our most eminent physl-
clans that the use of alcohol is subtle
and manifold source of disease even to
thousands who use it in quantities con-
venently deemed moderate; also that
all the young, and all the healthy, and
: II who eat well and sleep well, do moi
require 1t.
"Fourth-Then the carefully drawn
statistics of many insurance societies

Winter Will be Long and Hard.

With the price of provisions 'in the

Weather Proverbs, reads: "Early frosts
are generally followed by long, hard

which to predicate fulfillmcnt OF the
proverb above stated, but it was never
the-less disturbing to the believers in

AUSTRALIAN orAL MINING
4 Settled Industry IN Queensland aud
New south Wales

VOW Soutu w aIeS
Considerable quantities of opal are
found In Queensland and New South
Wales. In the latter state the common
ei kinds are found in many localities.
especially in the neighborhood of the
Orange, but they possess little or no
commercial value. Precious or nobls
opal is obtained principally at Whit
Cliffs. in the dry western country, about
$50 miles from Sydney and twenty-six
miles from Wilcannia. The latter town.
ship is about one hundred miles from
Broken Hill, and the whole country Is
said to be rich in minerals, but the de-
ficient water supply seriously retards
the efforts Of prospectors.
According to e. F. Pittman. in his
work ON 1.-THE Mineral Resources Of
New South Wales" the precious opals Of
White Cliffs, as in the V.se of many
other valuable mineral deposits, were
discovered by accident. In 1889 hunt
or, while tracking wounded kangaroo,
picked up a piece of the brilliantly col
Ored mineral on the surface; after the
find had been reported careful search
OF the locality was made, with the result
that several more pieces were discover
ed; prospecting trenches were then ex-
Cavated and the gem was found In
stu. Since that time mining operations
have been carried on continuously
though sometimes under great difficult
ties, as in time of drouth, the locality is
badly provided with water; opal min
ing, has, however, now become a settled
industry, and thriving township has
been established at White Cliffs.
The area within which the mineral
has been found in the district is abou.
fifteen miles long and about two miles
wide. Prospecting for precious opal is
decidedly hazardous business, because
as a rule, there are no indications what
ever on the surface of the occurance of
the mineral below. 1t Is only in very
rare instances that an Outcrop OF the
gem can be seen, and the usual proceed
IRE is to dig trench or pit in such a
position as fancy may dictate, and trust
to luck. Fortunately, sinking is easy
ss the rock is of soft nature, and, in
fair number of instances, the opal has
been met with at very short distance
from the surface, though large major
ity of the pits are unsuccessful.
Many valuable opals have been found
from time to time, me, weighing about
four and half ounces, being sold by
the finder for s1OO. OF course in Lon
don 1t would bring considerably high
er price. Another opal. weighing nine
ounces, was accidentally broken in two
the pieces weighing seven and two
ounces respectively, and valued locally
at a7OO. The value of the opal obtain
ed since the discovery Of the deposits IN
1889 to the end of 1899 is estimated al
9376,599, but much Of the opal obtained
is not officially reported.

TIE sOUTH's CONsUMPTION OF
COTTON.

It has not been so very long since
Southern newspapers were predicting
that before many years the South
would be consuming as much cotton in
her factories as the North. There were
many who doubted the correctness of
this prediction then. but there is none
that doubts ii now
The report Of Mr. Hester. Secretary
of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
which we published yesterday, showed
that for the season ending August 81
last there were consumed in Southern
raiglS !, 6Sp, 1881 bales, and in Northern
mills 2, CO., 900 bales. The increase in
the consumption of Southern mills was
%, $40 bales. No doubt the increase
would have been much greater if it had
not been for the war in China. Mills
that had been sending their product tc
that country had either to close down
for several months or run on shori
time
But even with that drawback the
Southern consumption was not SO very
far behind the consumption of the
North. The difference was not so very
400, 900 bales in favor of the Northern
mills.
Taking into consideration the mum
Der of new mills being built IN the
South it seems to be safe prediction
that inside of ten years more cottor
will be manufactured in the South thar
in the North. It is fact of course tina
large part of the cotton goods man
ufactured in the South is of the coar
ser grade, but gradually machinery fol
the finer grades is being introduced =
