THE PASTE POT IN JOURNALISM

It may perhaps strike the casual reader that it is rather late in the day to call the attention of the journalists of Texas and of the world to the amount of their indebtedness to the paste pot. Even as faith without works is dead. so are brains without; paste aber nit.
 Every newspaper writer who has at tained to that fame which is coincident to great riches may make his acknowI- edgmeGts to the paste pot. He writes something for his paper; 1t catches the eye of some paste pot editor and goes into another paper. until behold. toe hack writer awakes some morning to find his name pasted upon the heaven- kissing hills Of undying fame, and wherever newspaper paste puts a man. there he stays. Too long, far too longi ! has the pessimistic cockroach in his midnight meanderings been the only one to become stuck upon you. A ma n may wield very large paint brush and still not be an artist, but the artist wEo wields the paste brush in a news paper office is the sole arbiter of the newspaper writer's destiny:
 Behold the poor, neglected object sit ting there. to do your will uncomplain- jngly and well. Does 1t serve you any the less effectively because a few flies, cockroach and perchance the clammy. clay-colored corpse of a forlorn mouse are enshrtned in its depths? We be { lieve not; 1t may be the end of all things earthly for them. but it Is th,. beginning of all things heavenly for you. If the paste pot gets stuck on your penciled maunderings it means more salary; constantly growing as the reputation of the paste pot grows. It means offers from larger papers than the one which at present pays that sat- ary! Oh, my dear friends, woo tiie paste pot; in its opaque depths turk germs of European journeyings.
 Verify, when we have attained to the ultima thule of journalism we shall have for a coat of arms a paste pot quiescent against an inky background. surnounted by two little devils and q paste brush rampant.-Houston Post.

TALE FROM, THE WEST.

The New York girl wore a stunning turned to the relative merits of Colum- bia and Shamrock she took a leading part in it. She had been on so many . cruises, as she told the story. that everybody was inclined to look up to her as an authority except young Jen- kins, who declared that she was rank counterfeit.
 ''I don't believe she was ever out uf sight of land in her life.'' he said.
 The debate finally settled down to q discussion of the relative merits of center board and fin keel yachts and in the midst of 1t the girl from New York was still holding her own.
 No matter what tale was told she always had one to cap 1t. Most of her stories were about the same boat, q yacht owned in Boston. which, she said was the fastest and stanchest craft along the Atlantic coast.
 Finally Jenkins got dreadfully tired of her boasts
 Tell me. Miss Manhattan he said what kind of boat this was you ha.l all these famous adventures on? A fi, keel?"
 The nautical girl from New York wrinlxlei her pretty brows in d per- plexed frown.
 Well. now. you know" she said. "I can't be exactly sure. but I'm inclined to think it was a starboard yacht. = Chicago Tribune

MAKING ARTIFICIAL WOOD.

A process has just been patented for making artificial woods out of pulp so as to initiate such costly kinds as ma hogany and rosewood. Indeed, the inventor claims to be able. by the help of the machine, to reproduce the ap- pearance of quartered oak. curly ma pie, birdseye maple. or practically any thing else that grows in the forest. so perfectly as to deceive the trained eye. Obviously such an achievement should be of high commercial value, inasmuc h as the more expensive woods are lux uries within reach only of people of means. the rarest of them coming from distant tropical countries.
 The process does not reproduce the texture of woods, but merely their ap- pearance. The pulp is thrown upon a cylinder by an air blast protected through number of pipes. and an ir- regular distribution of the particles is obtained by various devices, such as varying the intensity of the blast and causing the pipes to vibrate In this way the knots and grain of the nature, woods are said to be counterfeited with surprising success.
 Artificial woods of this kind are available for use as veneers. the em ployment of which is so extensive at the present time. Nearly all of the i'm ported natural woods gre sold as ye- neers. They are cut in extremely thin slices, because they are too costly to be used solidly. Mahogany, rosewood. curly ash, figured birch, satinwood and Circassian walnut are most in demand and veneers made from them bring from cents to 10 cents a foot Some veneers are worth 20 cents a foot, though mere shavings. and a single lot of rare wood is sometimes valued a. as much as 5000.
 Doubtless principal use is expected to be found for the counterfeit ma hogany and other woods in the making of furnitnre.-Philadelp Post

He had been riding nearly all say and late in the afternoon came upoc a cabin set in the midst of woodland. Near the door was spare, straight haired woman, who gazed at him curi- ously. The minister spoke to her cour- teously and made some inquiries re- garding the neighborhood. Her hus- band was hunter. the woman said.
 And is he God fearing man .'' asked the preacher.

ORATORS AT THEIR BEST.

Among orators there can be no doubt that it is between the ages of 45 and 55 that their special endowments have secured for them their highest tri- umphs. Demosthenes. whose ambition
 was early kindled, did not deliver his greatest speech-De Corona-wnich has been described as the most magnificent vindication in the annals of oratory. until he was 52.
 Burke. whose training was desultory. astonished the house of commons by his speech on American affairs when he was 36. but only achieved his mas terpiece. his impeachment of Warren Hastings-an effort of efoquence un- paralleled in it's energy and effect. and which must have exhausted his speech centers, for 1t left him at one point deprived of the power of articulation for little while-when he was in his 5Sth year. Curran. of whom Byron said: He has spoken more poetry than I have ever written made his most brilliant speeches in the state trials in which he appeared between his 44th and 47tii years And John Bright. whose fiery Reclamation on behalf of the anti-corn law league began in his 2sth year. may be said to have exhibited his control over language in it's finest perfection In speeches delivered subsequent to his election for Birmingham, when he was 46.
 On this subject Barnett Smith says: 1T have heard all the greatest speeches of the greatest orators of my time parlia mentary, pulpit and platfoI m speakers-Butt, Punshon, Gough-and all had their most splendid period from 45 to 55 years of age.

THE PROSPEROUS SOUTH.

The fact that cotton manufacturing increased in the north only 8 per cent during the year ended September 1, | while 1t increased 30 per cent in the south. Is one of the many proofs of the fact that the south is making more rapid industrial progress than any other section of the country. During the period referred to the number of cotton spindles in the north increased 100000: the number in the south in creased 1.279,320. The growth of the cotton spinning industry in the south since the first cotton exposition in At lanta gave a powerful impulse to this industry has been almost incredible Tn 1880. the year before that exposition
 was held. there were in the whole sout h only 164 cotton mills with a total of 561.360 spindles. and 1929 looms. The south now has no less than 531 mills in
 operation and many more building. The total number O. spindles in the south has increased to j.S19.s35. and the humber of looms to 122.9o2. The con- sumption of cotton by southern mills has increased from 1SS.74S bales in 1880 to 1867 .G12 bales in 1901 The number of spindles set up in the south during the last twelve months has been more than twice as great as the total number in the entire south in 1880. In the last ten years the number has increased 20 per cent and 1t has nearly doubled in five years. During the next twelve months the south will make an i'm mense advance in the great industry for which its manifold advantages are now admitted even In New Engianl and this time neEt year we will be read ing another chapter in this story of wonderful progress.-Atlanta Constitu- ton.
