Curly Sh1yinrs.

A shaving Of wood curls up owing
to contraction on one side and eXpap
sion on the other. This expansion Is
accelerated by what is known as the
back IRON or cap IRON which is used
in most planes.
The object of this cap iron is to
break the shavings into short lengths
and to prevent the cutting IRON from
tearing or splitting the fibers o. the
wood. which lie always more or less
In a slanting direction.

IRON is placed to the edge of the "cut-
ting IRON the shorter the shavings are
broken off. These are smooth on one
side, and the serrations on the other
correspond with the distance between
the edges Of tae two irons.
All wood, too, is formed in circular
rings, sucli as can be seen in the sec.
ton of any tree trunk. 1t follows,
therefore, that when the rings of wood
are cut across. as they are to a certain
extent in the act Of planning, they are
relieved from tension, and curl up In

HE CAUGHT THE HOUSE.,
A Yell of Applause at a Critical
Point In n PLAY.

Edward Harrigan once said that the
most trying ONE in his theatrical
career occurred iE New Orleans soon
after the civil war. He had gone
south with his company and, yielding
somewhat to popular request, put on
1.-The Blue and the Gray" The play
had been a success up north. but down
south, with the air still full of the bit
terness OF the war, it was a dangerous
experiment. Tony Hart was to repre-
sent the Confederate gray, so he hunt
ed up q uniform Of the Louisiana Ii
gers, and when he came marching on,
young. stalWart, handsome, the typical
soldier boy in the beloved uniform, the
house, men and women, cheered and
shouted and cried for all their heroes
embodied in this boy. Harrigan, stand
ing III the wings in his northern blue,
waiting to go on, had Just ono thought
-"IheyU kill me!.' Then he stepped
out, the embodiment Of the enemy and
a cold. dead silence fell upon the house.
Not a hand moved for him. The audi
ence was tense with emotion, and there
was only an instant to act if the play
was to be saved. Harrigan, big, kind
~, good looking, came swiftly down
to the front and stepped over the foot
light gutter. leaning down to them.
For the love Of heaven, won't you
give b Yankee a hand?' he eXclaim-
ed. At once the house was caught and
all the pent up feeling turned the right
way. There was a yell of applause.

TRUITT SENDS OUT LETTER.
Gives Fair Warning to Georgia and
 Alabama Cotton Mills.

Atlanta, Ga. November 16-(Special) ) Ali Truitt, the well known cotton factor of Atlanta, has sent out the following open letter to the cotton mills of Georgia and Alabama
 ITO the Cotton Mills of Georgia and
 Alabama ttS T don't know what your policy is just now toward this cotton market, nor do l care to offer advice, but will venture prediction since it has been my privi- lege to travel over the cotton belts of Georgia and Alabama
 T find that in some sections 90 per cent of the cotton has been picked and other sections 95 per cent, and still others the cotton fields have already been sown in wheat, and you will see cotton selling at lS cents before February 1 and as scarce in March as it was last May. I have tried to be bear on this crop, but find that l am wrong, and you will see that the bulls will have the bears or the bears wool on their horns in short as old Uncle Fed used to say, and the butt headed bulls that haven't horns will have bear down putting the stuffing out of him.
 Now, cotton, millers. don't delay. If the counsel be good, no matter who gives 1t. Very truly yours,

 have not yet been introduced will wear at their coming out party the lovelest of Paris gowns and the wardrobes of all of the debutantes may be described in one word, exquisite"
 A tour of the Birmingham shops and talks with the modistes emphasizes that never before have more beautiful fabrics been displayed and more artistic gowns been made than those to be worn this winter. Here are some late fashion notes from the American Silk Journal:
 More and more attention is being paid to the proper gowning of the debu- tante. This seasons wardrobes of many of the very young society women have seemingly assumed the proportions of a rousseau For instance, here follows description of a gown just completed for the daughter of society matron: The material is transparent silk muslin and the full skirt is worn over several chlf- fon pettcoats of different shades of bluet, finished with many chiffon pleats and lace ruches. A velvet girdle of the deepest shade of bluet is clasped with white silver buckle set with sapphires. The full blouse is almost extinguished by the extremely popular deep shoulder founce meeting in front. Above the
