SOuGh-4fe source OF WONDER ana
surprise to those who remember the
Crescent City as it has been for half
a century prior to 1900. Throughout
the city is now heard the hum OF new
Industries, and instead Of being q
sleepy and quaint old southern city, it
is fast coming to the front as a city Of
commercial activity. with prospects
for the future not excelled by any city
in the United States; and the growth
and development OF this city, and her
local and export market facilities,
must necessarily increase the price Of
all farm lands tributary thereto.
The Passenger Department Of the,
Illinois Central Railroad Company lis
interested in the development Of all
the cities on, and the country tribu-
tary to, Its lines. It is interested In
having the real estate agents on its
line successful, and would urge that
they at once turn their attention to
the South, as affording unusal oppor-
tunities for making money during the
next five or more years. We conf
IDENTIFY believe that the lands to which
we have referred will in the near
future, advance in value from Is to 80
per acre. We, therefore, urge that all
who are engaged exclusively In the
sale Of real estate shall Investigate
thoroughly the lands on and tributary
to this Company 3 lines, In the states
OF Kentucky, Tennessee. Mississippi,
and Louisiana. We want you inter
ested with US in the development Of
this country, and will be glad to cor
respond with you In reference to the
same; and II mutually agreeable, to
make the usual advertising contracts
with all agents who will devote their
time and euergy to the sale Of South
ern farm lands.

A MONSTER OF THE DEEp

Captain Stavely, of the Clumberhall, of the Furness Steamship Line, has re- gently been a visitor in the vicinity of Great Burlington, and has told an ex- citing story of a sea monster which he encountered on his recent voyage. On voyage from San Francisco to Lon don the captains attention was called to a large sea monster, heading four points on the port bow of the ship. The monsters color was of large blotches of black and a sort of sand and gray in between. The monster was of whale back shape, and fully two hundred feet long, the highest part of it's back ex- tending nearly twenty feet above the sea surface. After approaching the steamer the animal remained on the surface for a few minutes and then hurried away. Captain Stavely did not see the two extremes of the monsters body After arriving in London Cap- tain Stavely learned that the sea mons- ter had been previously reported by a steamer that had passed it on moon- light night. During his visit in Berk- shire the captain took the second slegh- ride of his life.-Springfeld Republican.

another department apparently quite unrelated, and how impossible it is to foretell in what ways abstract inquiry may bear upon the most important practical problems. These infinitesimal organisms are crushed in liquid air, which is at once an absolutely neutral fluid and one giving the exceedingly low temperature essential for success. Thus an important step in the treat ment of disease becomes possible through the previous success of efforts to reduce the most refractory gases to the liquid condition. The intense cold of liquid air has no effect upon the vii tality of bacteria. After the most pro- longed immersion they propagate themselves with unabated vigor as soon as they are again placed in nor maj conditions. But when frozen hard in liquid air these almost inconceivobly minute cells are completely broken. up by trituration. The completely tritura- ted mass may be placed in the proper medium and raised to the proper tenn perature but there is no sign of bac- terial growth. The poisonous juices, however, remain and possess, as has just been demonstrated, the same toxic properties as when they are directly elaborated inside the human body by the living bacteria. We have, in fact the best guarantee that nothing has happened beyond their mechanical re- lease, in the fact that at the tempera- ture of liquir air all chemical activi- ties are in abeyance. The mechanical disintegration of these microscopical cells at the temperature of liquid tir is not so simple matter as is may seem. For it's explanation the biologist must again apply to the physicist wha has furnished him with this new and potent mplement.-London Times.

It is noticeable that these methods of each pursuit. The editor writes for the public and the public looked in on him at pleasure. The minister is supposed to prepare a message, as if from the unseen world, and he prepares it in privacy. The forces of the world that is engage and contemplate the journal ist. The powers of the world to come commune with the moral teacher.
 The fellowships and rests of the pub lie are not practicable of the press. Editors can exchange newspapers, but not positions. Newspapers can suspend publication because they cannot help it, but they have no summer vacation. Even could editors exchange in the ministerial sense they could not carry their old editorials with them, for if they did they would be apropos of nothing and acceptable to nobody. Some dramatist could work a rich mine of comedy by representing the staff of one paper at work on an esteemed con- temporary, with all the resulting con- fusion of views and interests; the same reversal Of all intellectual proportions would follow should some jaded editor reprint some of his old articles and en- liven the negro situation with a free silver blast of eight years ago. Ser mons can be repeated before the same congregation, after considerable lapse of time. They are not seldom on sub jects which have been illuminated by the thoughts Of the greatest minds, whose tonnes are piled up round the preacher. Moreover, ministers can at any time exchange pulpits with a brother and by so doing gain week from the necessity of sermonical labor. These are advantages impossible to the journalist. The very suggestion of them kindles ideas of the grotesque.

MEMS SUPPER IN ALL1NGTowN.

MEMS SUPPER IN ALLINGTOWN.
 Considerable curiosity is expressed by the denizens of Allingtown and West Haven. and indeed by some of New Ha- ven people, as to what sort of a supper and entertainment the men of Alling- town chapel are to provide this evening. It is understood that no woman has been consulted-women not to have part even in setting the table or wash ing dishes. Samuel P Thrasher is to cook the oysters and conduct the affair generally.
 The entertainment which is to follow the supper, what is that likely to be, without the fostering care of woman? The first table will be set at 6:3G. It is expected that delegations will attend from several of the city churches, to help the chapel along and see the fun. The ladies prophecy that tomorrow morning there will be sudden influx of business at the clothing cleaners, cor responding exactly with the number of men acting as walters, cooks, etc, at the Arlington supper. Meanwhile the men ain't sayin' muffin.

EATING WITH THE FINGERS.

The Sheik of Dwirat was handsome old man, with handsome sons, and governing very good looking people so far as I could judge from the mas cullne section of the townfolk, the wo- men of Dwirat, as of all the Berber towns in South Tunis, being yelled Ca contrast to the nomads-whether Ber- Der or Arab-whose women go com- pletely unveled.) The Dwirati are a race of almost pure Berber blood, speaking among themselves the old Berber tongue, which was the universal language of North Africa before the in- trusion of Phoenicians; Romans, Greeks or Arabs. Their complexions are fair, inclining to ruddy (though, of course, sun tanned when exposed); they have black or blackish brown hair, we'll marked black eyebrows and long. lashed brown eyes. The features were good. most of the noses straight and we'll carved, and free from the Arab "beakiness." I had arrived at noon: the sun was hot and was hungry, so I rested for a while in the small dark cube of house where was to lodge.
 
 by the Sheik's household. It consisted of huge wooden platter of kuskus, dish of stewed pigeons and dessert of dates and figs. Some of these tems deserve special description. Kuskus is crushed wheat Oooking like brown rice), cooked in the steam of meat. richly favored, sufficiently salted and smartly peppered, Pieces of the meat are afterward cerved up with it, and raisins are sparsely mixed with the salt, saturated, golden grain. It is sim- ply delicious and most grateful to a very hungry man-nO bother about knives and forks and carving! You just hand in with finger tips moutnful after mouthful of this rich porridge, varying its monotony with pieces of meat or sweet raisins, and so sit and stuff yourself till the outrageous appe- tite of desert riding is appeased. Then you wash your fingers, drink long draught of cold, pure water, and turn to the dessert and the thick, sweet cof- fee which concludes most Arab repasts, The dried figs are very good. The fruit Is grown in all the stream valleys of this Matmata country. When quite ripe the figs are cut completely in two, and the halves dry in the sun in long contorted strips. As these resemble old leather cuttings or pieces of worn out boots, they are most uninviting in ap- pearance, but in taste are richly sweet and we'll lavored.-Graphc

top of the stairs The flames was a. ragin' all along one side of the house just under the caves and flarin' up un- der the rafters. We had no way of fghtin' the fire, and all we could do was to save a few things.
 The insurance company gave me pile O trouble, but finally paid me. They declared the house was set afire, and kind O thought so, too, but I wasn't a goin' to say so. We'll, sir, that thing set so on my mind that re- solved to play Sherlock Holmes and find out what started the blaze.
 What do you suppose did 1t? Eng fish sparrows. Yet, sir, English spar rows was the cause of me losin' my home and nearly everything in it. There was a big shed near the house, and on the side that burned first. was studying how the fire could have started under the caves when remen- bered the sparrows had built lot of nests there. I began tearin' the nests out of the shed, and among the sticks and straws found lot of matches. remembered then about droppin' box of matches in the yard, and when found it most of the matches were gone. The birds had carried them away and used them in building the nests. Of course, I didn't know just how the matches were to blame for burning the house down. When I built a new house fixed it so the only place a sparrow could light on it was on the top of the roof .''-Chicago Chronicle.

"Seein' them fire-engines reminds me years. ago." said countryman the oth- CT evening as he stood on Monroe street watching the fire apparatus chatter by.
