THE NEW so UrH.

The new South is making new rec ords. The Tradesman. of Chattanooga, Tennessee, has compiled the industrial statistics of the Southern States for 1903. It finds that during the first quarter of the year 1,277 new industries were be- gun; for the second, 1.s46; for the third. 1916, and for the fourth, 1,29T-a total os 5.2s6 new industrial establishments in single year. In the past quarter 253 new woodworking plants were re- ported. and the opening up of timber lands and the manufacture of furniture appear to be the features of the year. Thirty-four new mines or quarries have been opened in West Virginia in the last three months, giving some idea of the rapid development of that States great mineral resources. Twenty-six natural gas and oil companies have also been formed in West Virginia during the past quarter. Another encouraging feature is the variety of new manufac- turing plants, these including among many others button, clothing, brass, broom, harness, piano, pottery and paint factories.
 The South just now appears to be the most lively and growing section of the country It will be a great place when it gets it's full growth.

sS1ease system in Indian Territory Seems to be rather complicated. One of the most remarkable leases yet seen is one which was filed for record recent ly, in which the grantor agrees to lease the land for five years for twenty-five cents per acre for each year The gran tor Further agrees to put the lessee in possession by a stated time or forfeit s5 per acre. Another remarkable provision in this lease is that grantor agrees that if any stone, gravel or shale is found within ten feet of the surface the entire rental price on such land will be for feited. Three leases on the same tract of land were filed for record. One lease is Sor five years, one for seven years and -~6ne for ninety-nine years. All three leases are made by the same parties and all are overlapping from date of contract.

The following essay on the horse is said to be from the pen of an Indian student: '"The horse is a very noble quadruped, but when he is angry he will not do so. He is ridden on the spinal cord by the bridle, and sadly the driver places his foots on the stirrups and divides his lower limbs across the saddle and drives his animal to the meadow. He has four legs; two are on the front side and two are afterward. These are the weapons on which he runs. He also defends himself by ex- tending these in the rear in a parallel direction toward his foe, but this he does only when he is in an aggravating mood. There is no animal like the horse. No sooner they see their guard iar or master than they always cry for food, but it is always at the morning time. They have got tails, but not so long as the COW and such other like an- inlals.

There is a colonel in the French army who understands how to win the favor ? of his men. The colonel of the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth infantry sends his regimental cooks to a cookery school, so that they may learn how to vary the monotony of fare and make greater use of the means placed at their disposal. He personally supervises the marketing and cooking, and while the cost of the mems mess is no greater than if. used to be, the food is much more palatable.

New York Methodists started nearly three years ago to raise $1,000,0O0 for the payment of debts on local churches, the endowment of a fund for superan- nuated preachers, the purchase of a building for the Deaconess' Home and the endowment of St. Christopher's Home for Destitute Children About $500, GOO has been raised toward the St. 100000, and the debts have been paid on many city churches. The fund for St. Christopher's Home has been com pleted, and the Deaconess' Home and the fund for superannuated ministers have been helped with $60,00O and $70,- GOO, respectively. An effort is now mak- ing not only to complete the raising of the $1,oOOoO0, but to increase it by s10O,- 900. There are still debts aggregating s2SO,0oO unprovided for.

rade ground of st. Petersburg with the
blood of his best soldiers. which had sent
many of the nobility to Siberia, and which
had obliged him to see the bodies of sew
eral men who might have made his reign
illustriOus dangling from the fortress walls
opposite the Winter Palace. He had been
obliged to grapple with a fearful insurrec-
ton i'm Poland, caused partly by the bru-
tally of his satraps, but mainly by rell-
giOus hatreds, to suppress it with enor-
nous carnage, and to substitute a cruel
despotism for the moderate constitutional
liberty which his brother had granted. He
had thus become the fanatical apostle of
reaction throughout Europe, and as such
was everywhere the implacable enemy OF
any evolution of liberty. The despots of
Europe adOred him. AS symbols of his
ideals he had given to the King of Prussia
and to the Neapolitan Bourbon copies of
two of the statues which adorned his New
sky bridge-statues representing FESTIVE
horses restrained by strong men; and the
Berlin populace, with unerring instinct,
had given to one OF these the name of
Progress Checked and to the other the
name "Retrogression Encouraged" To
this day one sees everywhere in the pal
aces of continental rulers, whether great or
petty, his columns of Siberian porphyry,
bowls of jasper or vases Of malachite-
signs of his approval of reaction. But, in
was one crime he did not commit crime,
indeed. which he did not dare commit: he
did not violate his oath to maintain the
liberties of Finland. That was reserved
for the second Nicholas, now on the Rus
sian throne.
Whether at the great assemblages of the
Winter Palace, or at the reviews, or sim
ply driving in his sedge, or walking in the
street, he overawed all men by his pres
ence. Whenever | saw him, and never
more cogently than during that last drive
of his just before his death, there was
forced to my lips the thought, You are
the most majestic being ever created"
Colossal in stature, with face such as
one finds on a Greek coin, but overcast
with shadow of Muscovite melancholy
with a bearing dgnifed. but with man
ner not unknd, he bore himself like god.
And yet no man could be more simple or
affable, whether in his palace Or in the
street. Those were the days when Rus
sian Gar could drive or walk alone in
every part of every city in his Empire.
He frequently took his exercise in walking
along the Neva quay, and enjoyed talking
with any friends he met, especially with
members of the Diplomatic Corps.
