5000 Letters q DAY.

Some of the details in connection
with the large mercantile establish.
ments of our country are extremely
interesting. One of the leading met
ropolitan papers recently published
some facts in connection with one Of
the largest mercantile establishments
in the United States, the National
Cloak and Suit Co., located at ll9
and l23 West 23rd street, New
York City. This Company makes ladies'
suits, skirts and cloaks to order only
and employs over one thousand peo-
pie. A lady in any part of the United
States can write to them for their
Catalogue and samples, which are
sent free, and they will make any
garment which she may select, and
ship it express prepaid to any section
of this country. The mail of this
Company frequently runs as high as
five thousand letters in a single day.
In fact, so enormous has been the
growth of their business that they
have recently had occasion to rent a
new building in addition to the large
quarters which they already occupy.
The company has capital stock of
one million dollars, and is one of the
most reliable and trustworthy con-
Germs of the kind in existence.

The Yazoo Evening News contains
resolutions adopted by the Yazoo
Camp No. l76 q. C. V. which we here
reproduce. One similar to the last
one was adopted by the Holmes coun-
ty camp, at its last meeting, and the
first doubtless will be at the next
meeting, on the first Monday in Jan.
1904:
'The Yazoo Camp No. l7e, United

conformity with the following reso-
luton, a committee of five was ap-
pointed to execute its provisions, the
members being DR.. R. E. Gale, Theo.

adopted is:
Resolved, that a committee of five
be appointed to present the memorial
of this camp to the next legislature
of the State for liberal appropria-
tion of money and means for the
equipment and maintenance of Beau
voir as home for Confederate sold

State be requested to appoint like

upon for their meeting during the
sitting of the legislature. We earn

ersising Every Effort to
Get up n crediEable
Exhibit.

Col. R. H. Henry, State commits
sioner to the st. Louis Worlds Fair,
is doubtless doing his very best to
make Mississippi have a creditable
exhibit. The principal things that
We feel interested in are the two
state colleges for bows and girls, the
first with its textile annex, and agri-
cultural and mechanical instructions
prepares the boy, if there is anything
in him, for working his way honora-
bly, through the world. The gradu-
ates of the second, or Of the Indus
trial Institute and college, with its
high grade literary curriculum, and
teaching the girls needle work, and
the preparation Of food, through
which persons will not take in their
peck of dirt in month instead of a
life time, will always be independent
of future contingencies, and in de-
mand.
These foregoing State institutions
can not be too highly colored, or theis
success too much impressed on the
fostering care of our people and their
legislature.
The exhibit of our cotton, so far rs
any good will be derived from it, viii
not amount to the cost of freight to
get it there. 1t is the same with our
timber, there is no use in sending
samples of our timber, those who
need it know where it is and are COM
ing after it. Indeed if the destruc-
tion of our timber is kept up few
years longer there will not be enough
left for our people, out of which to
build their negro cabins. Many places
have reached that point row. As

Worth His weight in Gold,

The maharajah of Travancore was,
on one occasion at least. worth his
weight in gold, for he was weighed
against pure mass of the king of
metals, and, after the scales were bal
anced. the mass of gold was distributed
in charity. This custom, called "Tulab
hara," is one of great antiquity and
Is said to be traceable In Travancore to
the fourth century. 1t is not unknown
In other parts of India, though, Of
course, gold is only used In the case
Of wealthy persons, humber folk be-
ing content to weigh themselves against
spices or grain. On the occasion men,
toned the maharajah weighed little
over nine stone. The Brahmans, 1t is
said, wished to defer the ceremony in
the hope that the maharajah might
more nearly approach the weight of
his father, who did not undergo the
rite until forty-seven years old. when
he weighed fourteen and three-quarter
Penny.
