HELP I'll F CHTEDREN.

There is theory that slavery ended in the South nearly forty years ago, but some facts which have just have been made public by the Alabama committee on the employment of children in fac tories are against that theory. It ap- pears that the number of children un- der sixteen years old employed in the cotton factories increased 140.9 per cent during the decade ending in 1880, and 1065. per cent. between 1880 and 1S9O Between 1890 and 1900 the increase was no less than 270.7 per cent. Of the 45.O4i textile operatives in North Carolina T. 996 are under fourteen years old, while the average wage of the child has de- creased from thirty-two to twenty-nine cents per day in that State. In some places in the South the daily wage is as low as nine cents day, incredible as it seems, and this for twelve hours of la bor In all it is estimated that there are at least 22,0OO such child victims of the rapacity and selfshness of the northern and southern owners of mills in the South, and from 5000 to 10000 of these are under the age of twelve.
 The Alabama Child-Labor Committee, whose headquarters are at Montgom- cry, Alabama, is going to try to remedy this abuse, and it should have the help of good people all over the country. Checks in aid of the cause may be sent to the treasurer, MT. S. B. Marks, jr.. of the Merchants and Planters Nation- al Bank in Montgomery.

colonels are one of the principal pro- ducts of the South. and it is cheering to read that the crop is doing well in Georgia. and is likely to do even better. There are sixty-nine colonels on the staff of Governor Candler. They have been appointed since he went into office four years ago. and it is thought that he may name several more before the expiration of his term.
 Some may think that this is making colonels too fast in Georgia. Not so. The more the better. There wouldn't be too many if every man in Georgia were a colonel It is fine to be a colonel and to feel like a colonel. And as long as so much good can be done a man by making him a colonel it should be done much oftener than it is done. More over. what a safeguard when war breaks out to have many colonels on hand.

and then, with a quick throw and jerk, give it the necessary rotary motion to send it whirling right side up? You never did. and probably you never Will, because the ready possibility of doing such a thing does not lie in a woman's anatomy.
 A girl can twirl a rope and jump one enough times to weary her watch ing brother. but a top in her hands is a useless thing, and the brother only laughs at her efforts to spin it, if she makes them. as he laughs at her efforts In the direction of throwing.
 Observe the children playing in the streets at top-spinning seasons. You may watch all day and not see one girl with top in her hands, while you will sec hundreds with skipping ropes. If you see any playing with balls they will be simply bouncing them on the pavements, using very short, cramped motion of the arm in doing so.
 The simple fact is that girl cannot throw, in the true sense of the term, because of the peculiar construction of her shoulder. When a boy throws a ball he bends his elbow, reaches back with his forearm and uses every joint from shoulder to wrist. His arm is relaxed. A girl throws with a rigid arm, because her collar bone is larger and sits lower than a boys. This pro- vents the free motion of the arm re- quired for strength and accuracy in throwing; hence she cannot spin a top properly.-Chicago Record Herald.

ENTERPRISE IN FNGLAND.

The United States hasn't looked to England for guidance in the use of eIec- tricity, but perhaps it can learn some thing from what is now going to be done there. A company has been form ed in England with a capital of a mill lion dollars for the purpose of operating what is known as the Armstrong; -Orling system. Factories are to be established for the manufacture of the necessary apparatus, and within a few months patrons will be able to buy the neces- sary equipment, establish private tele- graph plants and put the wireless sys- tenn in practical operation. The system is to be used for telephoning as we'll as telegraphing. It is claimed that the Armstrong; -Orling apparatus will trans init messages for distance of twenty miles. The ground is used as a con- ductor. The walls of houses offer no obstacles. All that is needed, it is said, IS to connect the telephones in room with the transmitter or receiver by means of a short wire with the nearest gas or water pipe. Thus the current is carried to and from the earth. In tele- graphing longer distances than twenty miles it is necessary to use the air as conductor of the electrical sparks from station to station. A year ago two miles was the limit for telegraphng or telephoning through the ground Since then, according to reports, the system has been greatly improved. The cost of wireless telegraph equipment will be $50 for short distances and $75 for long distances. In addition the owner of the plant must pay royalty of $5 a year. A telephone outfit for short dis
 tances will cost $20 and royalty of s5,

 ''Is this the office of the county physician" asked a man attired, appar- ently, in the earb of a hobo, who stumbled into the office of the County Clerk at the court house yesterday morning. Everybody shied from the stranger, for it was not settled whether his ailment was smallpox or yellow fever.

 The man afflicted with perityphlitis smiled with a gratfied air, but said he must see Dr. Brown and get something for his aiment.
 Tt gives you pains in the head" he said but after these pass off you have a feeling of nausea. Then d burning sensation comes in the stomach, and this is the most aggravated and terrible symptom of the disease.
 The suffering I have undergone while in this stage of the disease is too severe to relate. You could never imagine the terrible bangs that wrench and tear my frame. They say that the only thing that will in any way allay the awful anguish of a man afflicted with perity- phlitis is small glass of wine or possi- ply a glass of beer. Unfortunately I have not the price with me to-day, and if you could--'
 But the listener and others who had stopped to hear the story, broke away and the patient had nobody to help him. He loitered around the corri- dors awhile and then left with the aw- full delirium of perityphlitis still upon him.-Denver Times.
