THE WEALTHY SOUTH.
Getting Wealthier at Rate of More
 Than $2Oo, 100000 a Year.

Boston Globe.
 While many people are deploring the financial crisis, brief revieE of the re- creasing prosperity of the South is re- assuring to the entire nation. In 1880 the assessed wealth of the Southern States was $52OO, 19O,S1s. Then came the war and devastation. The cost of that strife to the South, including slaves, Is shown when twenty years later. even after reconstruction had been accom- plished. it's wealth was two billion dol lars less than in 1860
 But the last two decades tell a different story, for progress has marked the course of the States in many ways, so that in 1902 the figures read 5,91696O,00O. These are but the assessment figures Or the States themselves. As the census for 1890 gave the wealth of the South as more than double the State figures, 1t Is estimated that the actual wealth when given out by the census for 1900, which Is likely to be more uniform, will be at least fourteen billions. This almost equals the total wealth of the country just prior to the Civil War.
 These figures give a good idea how the South has been developed. in many h. stances by Northern capital. which opened mills. aided in establishing steam ship lines for the export trade, dug oil wells, etc When 1t Is considered that the South is adding to It's assessed wealth at the rate of from $20o, 900. 900 to $250 900, 600 a year. there need be no fear for its future welfare.

HAVE PET KNIVES.
Cooks and Caterers Become Foolish
 About Their Use.

New Orleans Times-Democrat
 Do you know that cooks and caterers become awfully foolish about the knives
 they use?'' asked the headman in a downtown restaurant. Well, they do, just the same, and they come to the con- clusion that there is but one knife that can do the work they are in the habit of doing, and that Is the particular knife they have been in the habit of using. Cooks seem to have an affection for tho things they use, anyhow. They are more particular about the knife that they are accustomed to use than they are about any other article in their outfit. Let anything happen to the knife and you will always find them out of sorts. I nave known many cooks who worked for many years at one place to take their faVorite knife with them when they quit the establishment they had worked for sucn long time. l suppose there is a good reason why cooks should become att tached to their knives. Barbers become utterly foolish about certain razors. You nave no doubt observed this fact in con- nection with the tonsors. Musicians, too, become very much in love with the mu- sical instruments, the violin the cornet or whatever instrument they happen to use most. l have known few men who became almost as foolish about their walking canes as aDout members of their Family. It seems to be a natural sort of thing. There is no reason why the cook should not become strongly attached to the knife that has been of such good ser- vice to him, and whose slant and curve he had become thoroughly familiar with. But whatever the reason may be. cooks become utterly foolish about the knives they use, and they would be as willing to part with a dear friend or a member of~their own family as to give up the
 knife they have been in the habit of using for so long a dime"
