uNINTERESTlNG PEOPLE.

They live in a quiet sort of way,
In q quiet sort ~ a street:
They don't meet a great many people. nor
Impress the people they meet.
The newspapers never mention their names !;
The world doesn't care what they do.
They never 60 in for anything much,
And their intimate friends are few.
He never has had favorite club.
Though somebody said he might.
For fat little nose or the window pane
Awaits him every night:
And eight little fingers and two little
thumbs
Undo all the work Of the comb.
As he sits in the Guietest sort of way
In his cuietest sort OF q home.

She hasn't q single fad.
She spends her t:ule with hlue-eyed lass
And miSchavouS little lad.

And mos: Of tie time she sings.

Shipment of Fertilizer Short.


The movement Of fertilizers out OF
Charleston this season is much below
the usual shipment. and the result has
been that there is big reduction
of employees at the mills. The dull
ness of the market has caused the
throwing out of work OF more than
800 men, as a result of the large stock
which is carried and the lack OF de-
mand.
At this time of the year fertilizer is
moving out at the rate OF about 400
cars a day, while only 90 cars are
now being sent out. The indecision
of many farmers on the matter of the
planting of cotton is responsible for
the small demand for fertilizer.

housekeeping.
The Sakais, or tree dwellers Of the
Malay peninsula build their houses in
forked trees dozen feet above the
ground, and reach them by means OF
bamboo ladders, which they draw up
when safely housed out Of harms way.
The house itself is rude kind OF
shack, made of bamboo, and the floor
ing is lashed together piece by piece
and bound securely to the tree, limbs
by rattan. These curious people are
rather small and lighter in complexion
than the Malays, though much ugller.
They have no form of religion at all
not even idols-no written language
and speak corrupt form Of Malay.
Probably no famous bird has a
smaller habitat than the bird OF para
disc, whose beautiful feathers are so
highly priced in the millinery trade.
No one knows why the varieties OF
this beautiful bird are confined to the
island of New Guinea and the neigh
boring coasts of Australia. There are
many other islands not far away
where the conditions would seem to
be equally favorable to their existence,
but they are not found among them,
and if we should ever see a hunter
of the bird of paradise we would know
that he was a native Of New Guinea
or the neighboring mainland OF Aus
tralia, or had visited those regions.
The railway across the Andes, be-
tween Chill and the Argentine Repub-

Chilian congress having passed bill
for the purpose. The loftiest part OF
the pass, which lies not far south OF
the great Andean giant, Aconcauga,
and which has an elevation OF $1,000
feet, is to be penetrated by tunnel,
which will serve both to avoid snow
drifts and to decrease the maximum
elevation of the road. The terminals
of the railway on each side of the pass
are now within one days travel by
mule caravan from each other. This

must be remembered that these figures
represent the shipments from the Maury
County fields and does not include auy
shipments Of rock from any of the other
counties, nor any of the manufactured
product shipped from here.
Thus it will be seen that Maury

434 eco value of the total amount ship
ped from the State in l903-a difference
of $270 $40.
We have no figures for the Maury
field for 1903, but il Is conservatively
estimated that last years product is
about 40 per cent. in excess of that Of
1903
The estimated yield for the State is
placed at $4,000 tons, valued at g.
GIL, $50. The average price of 50. 4915

The increase 10 price together with the
increase 10 the amount produced, makes
most favorable showing, an increase
IN value for the year of nearly a million

near the CRATE. The large drugget was
