During the past decade q large
number Of cotton mills have been
built in the South, chiefly by
northern capital. 1t is better to
bring the mills to the cotton than to
reverse the order, but somehow the
southern people never thought OF
that, or at least never acted upon
that theory. We have been ship
ping vast quantities Of cotton to
Liverpool and Manchester, an6
bought the cloth it was manufac-
tured into, when the whole thing
might better have been done on
orr own ground. The cotton grow
ers are realizing this now, and
the result is that every year new
mills are being bnilt in the south,
and the output Of cotton fabrics is
rapidly increasing. Tx:

A Remarkable Canary.

Mr.. George Henschel of Kensington,
London, gives the following apparently
trustworthy account Of a very remark
able musical performance by a canary.
MY sister" Professor Crosse Of
Brunswick, possesses an old bullfnch
which pipes, among other tunes, God
Save the King beautifully, even en-
bellishing it now and then with some
charming little grace notes. For some
time he was the only bird in the
house, until about a year ago my sister
received the present of a canary bird,
a lovely but unframed songster, sing
ing, as they say in Germany, as his
beak was grown
THE cages containing the two birds
stood in two adjoining rooms. At
first one of the birds would be silent
when the other was singing. Gradual
ly, however, the young canary bird
commenced to initiate the tune Of the
bullfnch, trying more and more Of it
at a time, until after nearly years
study he had completely mastered it,.
and could pipe it quite independently
by himself AS l said before, this in
canary bird, though a rare accomp-
ishment, is nothing very extraordinary
or unheard of. Now, however, come
to my point. What l am going to re-
late seems to me so wonderful that I
should consider it absolutely incredi-
BILE had l not, with my own ears heard
it, not once, but dozens of times with
in the few days of my visit. When the
buIlffnch, as sometimes happened,
would after the first half of the tune,
stop little longer than the rhythm
of the melody warranted, the canary
would take up the tune where the
buIIfnch had stopped and properly
finish it."-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

A little ground-sparrow, fitting near,

And the very moment no took his flight,
A honey bee came, with hum OF delight,

Not all sweet flowers are iairest to see;
And though the thistle was homely aud

Yet the heart OF It's bosom had honey
enough
Honey to spare

And plenty for fly and bee to share.
How oft is It thus, in tho bowers of earth,
With human blossoms Of lowly birthi
Their garb may be rude, aud their forms un-

Yet their spirits enshrine the sweetness OF

But pause to speak 10 a kindly strain,
a recompense sweet you will surely gain.

a Bird and a Snake.

Many a clever expedient is witnessed
by the naturalist who wins his way
behind the scenes, so to speak, In the
world Of wild bird and beast One well
known to nature lovers was recently
watching the manoeuvres Of a road
runner a large Californian bird, much
priced because, like the secretary bird
of India, of It's enmity toward venom
Gus snakes. The bird attracted a rat
tlesnakes attention by futtering above
and around It until It coiled in defence.
Then the bird secreted itself behind
branch of prickly cactus, and showing
its bill, tempted the RATHER to strike.
The snake tried to dart through the
cactus, aud In its writhing was covered
from head to tail with the barbed, te-
nacious spines that merely ruf1ed the
birds feathers. In this state 1t was
easy prey, but after killing it by sue
cessive hard pecks on the head the
road runner carefully pulled out every
cactus spine before It made meal Of
the mangled body.

HOW He CAME
MIRO
HIS KINGDOM.

When Horace Leonard told his only
son to Ego West, young man, go
West" be felt like adding the rest Of
the formula, and grow up with the
country" for Adrian Leonard had not
yet grown up in the sense of being
either mature in judgment or per-
sOnality. His father was broad
shOuldered and athletic, but Adrian's
shoulders sloped like pair of shears.
His complexion was fair as a girls
and his brown hair curled in rings
over a well-poised, shapely head.
=. You ought to have been girl" his
father would say in derision, "as a
girl you might have been success"
But am only boy" Adrian would
answer sweetly, exasperating his
father still more by his ready ac-
i. quiescence in the inevitable.
''And you will be a boy all your life,"
MIR. Leonard would respond with too
evident disdain of such specimen of
adolescence.
Then Adrian evolved the popular
idea that a toughening process would
devlop a higher type Of manhood, and
he became a weak roysterer. He re-
fused to work or to make any practi-
cal use of fairly good education, and
spent his allowance in princely prodi-
gality. Then his father frightened the
purse strings, read the boy lecture,
in which he recounted all the disagree
able truths he knew, sent him west and
washed his hands of him, in spite of
The pleadings of Adrian's mother that
he would give him one more trial.
Adrian Leonard travelled three days
and nights due west, when his money
began to give out, and he found him
self nearly destitute in the depot Of a
small town, where people looked so
much like those he had left back in the
east that he felt at home, especially as
neither cowboys nor buffalos were
running wild in the streets. Leaving
his trunk to be called for he took
a stroll through the streets, past hotels
and pretentious stores, looking for q
cheap boarding place and getting an
idea of how the land lay The CRIME
of dust and travel had improved him
already. He looked more manly in
the cheap business suit in which he
was beginning the world than in his
university toys, and he no longer
