Wealth in Old Stamps.

"a tar heller from North Carolina re-
Gently arrived in Georgia and has made a
barrel of money out of the old pine stumps,
left from the timber that has been cut in
years gone by said D. S. Atkinson of At
lanta to a Star man at the Normandie this
morning. HE is buying all the stumps
that the farmers deliver at his plant and is
paying very good price for them, so that
the farmers, too, are getting the benefit Of
his enterprise. From the stumps this North
Carolinian extracts creosote turpentine, tar
and charcoal, and he is now experimenting
so as to also get white lead from the stumps
and believes that he will be successful.
These stumps have not been worth digging
UP except for the purpose of clearing fields
for planting purposes. for as firewood they
would hardly pay the cost of removal, but
now the farmers have gone to work and will
not only clear their fields, but will also Sc
cure good price for their stumps in addi-
ton. Stump pulling machinery is now In
great demand in that section. This ma
chine with the aid Of a mule pulls the
stump, root and all, in short order, while
under the old system the farmer had to dig
1t up by main force"

Decayed German Nobility.
From the London Daily Mall.


According to the annual edition OF
Perthes Almanac OF the German nobility,
thousands Of walters, coachmen, barmen,
miners and other workynen in the United
States are recruited from the ranks OF the
German nobility. Herr Won NordegS, an
eminent authority on the aristocrafic world
Of the fatherland, says. in commenting on
the book, that a glance over its contents
reveals the ominous fact that practically
every FLOODED family of the empire Is
now represented In the United States, where
their scions for the most part are engaged
in the humblest employment. To this 1t
may be added that not only in America ana
other foreign countries are scions OF noble
German families found in the lowest strata
Of society, but even in the fatherland the
names of the very oldest mobiles which ap-
pear in the highest ranks of the army,
court and officialdom are encountered
among coachmen copyists and common Ia
borers.
In all Berlin one lawyer only is OF noble
birth, while the city directory gives lists of
hundreds Of agents, constables and skilled
and unSkilled laborers with fine old noble
names. Marriage with commoners In these
aristocratic circles is always regarded as,
and generally really is, marriage for money.
The German nobility, unlike the English.
cannot separate from such marriages the
odtum Of mesalliance. In German noble
families unlike the English nobility. the
fathers title is inherited by each of his
children, resulting In an endless posterity
of counts, countesses, etc.
