 The cotton industry of Italy is perhaps bined branches of the silk industry the latter being specially favored by the large production of silk in the country mere IS certain production of raw cot ton In the south of Italy. but the quan- uty produced is comparatively insignifl- cant. The importation, however Is very large. over 100000 tons having been inn ported in 1895, and a still larger ouan- tity in the previous year. Tho manufac- ture of both yarns and textiles is rapidly increasing. as IS shown by the figures of exports tT"Ir during the last few years.
 found that the importation of cotton yarns in 1884 was 196,7 ,71S cwts., and the exportation 3.A7 cwts.: in 1894 the i'm tation 22142 cwts. The importation of cotton textiles in 1884 was 25s S67 cwts.. and the exportation n296 cwts.; in 1895 the importation was 75, 665 cwts., and the cotton manufacturers in 1895 was calcu- lated at about e12.000, GOO as compared with about G7.2OO.0OO in 1884. It was es- timated in 1894 that there were about Italy. and that about 5000 hands were employed. but there has been consider able Increase in the last two years.
 DEVELOPMENT OF INDUSTRY.
 The spinning and weaving industries have long since attained very cOnsidera- ble development, and lately printing and HHlsHlnB nave SpeCldlIN attracted the at- tention of manufacturers. and printing machinery is being erected in both old and new mills. Spinning and weaving machinery comes almost entirely from England, while most of the machinery for printing and finishing is imported from Germany and Switzerland. The medium number in spinning Is F. and 32 appears to be about the finest. The chief seat of the cotton industry is in the northern provinces, and particularly in Lombardy. Piedmont and Lizuria. There are also some important establishments in Campania, Venice and Tuscany.
 In the north most of the cotton mills work day and night, with only one hours interval for rest and food. In the north women's wages appear to average about Is i'd to Is Cd per diem, in Tus- cany Is Sd, in the neighborhood of Ma ples Is Sd. and at Salerno only I'd. Mems wages vary from Is 4d per diem in sa- lerno to 2s in Tuscany in the north. Tn addition to money wages, however the hands almost always enjoy some priv ileges, either in the form of cheap iodg- ing or cheap food. or both. In the neighborhood of Naples, however, there is practically no addition to the bare money wage.

The Grave of Lester Morris, 8 Rev.
 olutionary Soldier.
Prospect. Giles Count

Prospect. Giles County, Tenn. Mrs. Aurora P. Mcclellan: Dear Madam-Your letter of inquiry re- ceived. and will say Lester Morris was the grandfather of my wife. He enlist e6 in Virginia before marriage. After the war ended he married and removed to the State of Tennessee. He died in 1853, being S6 years six months and eleven days old. and was buried on a hill south Of the Old Prospect Church and Camp Ground. Giles County, Tenn. which place I now own.
 During the civil war the Federals camped on this hill and built a fort and breastworks through and in the cemetery. They destroyed the tomstones took up some of the dead and re-interred them, They did not disturb the dust of Lester Morris. but destroyed his tombstone and threw up breastworks upon his grave. It would be impossible to locate the place exactly on account of the growth of trees, etc. but could come within a few feet of 1t.
 remain yours truly.

THE CONFEDERATE FLAG.

By Harry L. Flash of Galveston. Four stormy years we saw 1t gleam, A peoples hope-and then re-furled, Even while it's glory was the theme Of half the world. The beacon that. with streaming ray, Dazzled a struggling nations sight Seeming a pillar of cloud by day.
 Of fire by night. They jeer. who trembIed as it hung, Comet-like. blazOning the sky And heroes such as Homer sung.
 Followed 1t to die. It fell but stainless as 1t rose,
 Martyred. like stephen, in the strife; Passing like him, girdled with foes. From death to life. H Fames trophy sanctified by tears! Planted. forever. at her portal: Folded true-what then? Four short
 years Made 1t immortal.

Grace at Meals.

Atlanta Journal.
 During the last generation it was very rare to see any family begin meal with out grace, but the omission of this cere- mony is becoming more common every day in some sections.
 It seems that there Is a like decline of the custom in England. An English writ CT who has observed this tendency for several years past and Is much pained by 1t declares that the abandonment of grace before meals is "the most notable change in private religious observance in London"
 The Springfield (Mass.) Republican makes the surprising declaration that saying the blessing Is still observed on many public Occasions, but that 1t is comparatively seldom heard in New Eng land families, even when they are de- scended from Puritan forbears and have inherited the whole body of Puritan tra- ditions."
 Ths habit of saying grace may have fallen of to some extent in the South but it has not declined to anything like the extent it has in either New England or old England. It Is still the rule in the great majority of Southern households and will continue so for long time to come.

 The Nobel Prizes.
 Two of the munificent prizes Tor scientific discovery provided under the will of pr. Alfred Bernhard Noble, the Swedish engineer, have been awarded ln the departments of chemistry and physf- ciogy to Professor Finsen of Copenhagen. and a Russian, Professor Pavlon. These will be followed shortly by nominations to prizes in the remaining sections of the trust. The revenues are on a scale. enap- ling gifts to be made to each recipient of from S25,o00 to 50, 900. Science alone does not benefit by the erdcw- ment, since an assignment IS to Se made to the person having done the most, or the best, in the work of estab- fishing the brotherhood of nations for the suppression or the reduction of stand ing armies, as well as for the formation and the propagation of peace conferences. The right of recommending candidates for a ''prix Nobel belongs to members of the Swedish Academy. the French Academy and the Spanish Academy:.to the mem bers of the literary department of other academies, as well as to the members or literary institutions and societies analo- gous to academies; to professors of aes- thetics, of literature and of history m the universities.
 Paris "Grfmaces."
 Of curious case in court over artistic copyright, The Paris Francais reports how M. Philippe, a manufacturers or ar- tistic masks" the other day brought a fellow -tradesman for infringing what he as copyright in 'grfmaces Par isiennes," that being the name he has bestowed upon his wares. The complaint was that the defendant had taken casts of the heads of Nicholas II. the Emperor William, President Loubet, the Shah of Persia and many others, including NM Henri Rochefort: Jules Guerin, Paul De roulede, Mile. Cleo de Merode, and also Footit and Chocolat. all of which the plaintiff regards as his property, and had set up a competition in these goods
 But the court disallowed the suit, hold ing that the law affecting copyright in works of art did not apply to this case, the figures being molded in soft me- dium which lent itself to artistic merit, just as would be the case in figures made out of sugar, chocolate or soap. Even the head of the distinguished editor of The Intransigeant, with it's characteristic "topknot" was held to be void of artistic worth when lacking in rigidity.

This is credited as one of General
Lew Wallace's Turkish jokes: There
lived in StambOul; Turkey, a well to de
Turk named Ismad ISmail Hassam.
He was endowed with oriental wit that
stood him well in hand when he was In
a tight place. A neighbor called on Is
mail one day and wanted to borrow his
donkey to use an hour. Ismail made o
low salaam and said:
"NeigEbOr, | am sorry. but my boy
started on the donkey an hour ago to
Scutari. By now he is gayIy trOttina
over the hills far from the sacred DRe-
cinctS Of StambOul."
Just as ISmail finished his speech q
donkey's loud bray was heard in the
stable. which was under the same roof
as IsmaiIs house. but in the rear. The
neighbor said:
"Ah. hear your donkey bray"
Ismail protested that his neighbcU's
ears were deceived and that the noiSS
was not a dOnkeys bray. Then tDs

EXPLANATORY,

The TALLAHAsSEEAN has been so late
reaching its readers for the past three
weeks that we feel an explanation is due
them. Each week, for the period men,
toned, there has either been a break
down in some parts of the machinery or
an extra rush of Legislative work on the
very days that are usually devoted to
getting out the paper, making it abso-
1uteIy impossible for US to get out on
time. This has been as annoying to us
rs it has been to our subscribers, for we
knew that the time has come when a
late newspaper is no newspaper at ali.
Nearly everybody takes two or more
! papers, and the one reaching them late
has had Its news featute supplanted by
, the other. We trust, however, that our
readers will bear with us until we can
get everything running on schedule
: time again, and assure them that every
thing possible will be done in the future
: to prevent such delays.
