IMPORTANT TO MANUFACTURERS

The Secretary of Agriculture yester-
day gave hearing to a committee OF
leading members of the American Cot
ton Manufacturers Association. These
gentlemen represent all the cotton
mills of the country and what they
say is entitled to serious considera-
ton.
The business of manufacturing cot
ton is almost as great an industry Ill
the South as the business of growing
cotton. This is particularly true in
North Carolina where the cotton mills
the State. In the long run it is to the
interest of cotton grower and cotton
manufacturer alike that the prices be
stable and free from wild variations.
1t is a bad thing for both farmer and
manufacturer when in the same year
cotton ranges from eight cents to sew
enteen cents. Such fluctuations make
it impossible for either to safely cal
culate upon the result of their business
operations.
1t is of the highest IMPORTANCE to
both that the Government crop re-
ports shall be honest and reliable, free
from manipulation and leaks Neither
the farmer nor the manufacturers
have had part in the scandalous dis
closures that have startled the world
and resulted in the dismissal of
Holmes and the resignation of Hyde.
Both, at one time or another, have been
hurt by manipulation of the returns,
procured by spectators who do not
care whether cotton is high or low,
making their money by their gambling
operations. They would without
Qualm push cotton down to starvation
prices if their betting made such prices
profitable to them, and they would be
just as ready to soak the manufacture
ers by putting cotton up to twenty
five cents a pound.
What the farmers and manufacture
ers and all others in the South wish
is nothing but the plain truth. With
accurate and fair crop reports by the
Government, grower and manufacture
ers and factors can conduct their OPP
erations on a scale that will yield them
fair returns and not make 1t always
in the cotton business either a feast
or a famine.

4 PROFITABLE TRADE HURT.

The makers of church ornaments and other religious articles in France have taken alarm at the anti-clerical policy of the government, and sent a manifes-
 to to the Chamber of Deputies. They
 point out that whereas few years ago they could count upon 55,o0O customers, composed of the S5,OOO French parishes and the 10000 religious communities, the latter have vanished and they are now threatened with the disappearance of the churches. They declare that if this happens 25O,OOO persons will be thrown out of work, a number of firms will be ruined, and much capital lost. According to their report the suppress sion of the Congregations has greatly hurt the trade. and if the separation of Church and State is effected, a further falling off will certainly result. Enor- nous sums are spent annually in France in connection with religion. Paris, according to the latest figures, derives twelve and half million francs from the manufacture of rosaries, jew elry, medals, etc.; sixteen million francs from gold work and bronzes; seven and a-half million francs from pictures, etc.; twenty zone million francs from the printing of religious books; eight mill lion francs from organ building; four and a-half million francs from stained glass work; twenty-five million francs from statuary, and five million francs from bells. The value of the trade of Lyons in silks, embroideriss and other mateyials destined for religious uses is estimated at twenty-five million francs; and that of Amiens, Marveiois, and Sedan at fifty millions; while many othsr towns derive very considerable sums from the same traffic.

INFANT TIMBER woLyEs--part II


 After the porter had gone, the little wolves settled down in their box for the night, and were so still that I should never have known they were in the berth at all.

 When I let the little wolves out in my room. had my first good look at them. The casual observer would have taken them for puppy dogs of some kind, though he would not have re- called the breed precisely. A certain woolfish look about the ears might have made a little suspicious and they had way of shuffling off in to dark corners at every opportunity, with their tails pressed close to the body, which was not exactly dog-like. Their hair was of two kinds; short, woolly gray fur below, with much longer and coarser hair sprinkled through it. The longer hair was darker in color, but most of it. was tipped with white. | The paws and under parts were lighter in color than the backs, the faces and I ears were yellowish brown, and the ends of the muzzles and the chins were t, black. They had strong and peculiar odor, quite different from the odor of any dog I have noticed. They were !, very sober little fellows, and crawled away quickly under the bed or the I bureau, sometimes all lying in one heap. I pulled them out to feed them; 1 they refused to take their milk, and it
 was necessary to force them to take at
 least little.
 1 As soon as set them on the floor,
 they ,crawled away again. and I left them huddled together in a corner un-
 der the bed. When I returned, they
 were not under the bed, nor were they anywhere on the floor, and at last
 found them all in the box in which I i had brought them from New York. The box was so tall that it was only by
 standing on their hind legs that they
 could reach the edges of it. yet they had scrambled into it somehow. Now
 why had they taken the trouble to get
 into that box. It could not have been because it was dark, for the box was open at the top, and stood near the i windows, in the brightest part Of the room. There was some excelsior at the q, bottom of it. but it had been packed
 hard and was not so soft as the carpet

large piece of raw beef. and they al- lowed I had guessed right the first time. The change which came over those clubs was remarkable. Before they saw the beef, they were inno- ieent toddling, blue-eyed babies, but at
 the first sniff Of the raw meat, their savage natures came to the top. They seemed attracted to the food almost entirely by smell, and so intent were they upon the odor that some of them ran around and even over the meat several times without seeing it. But as each one realized that he had found 1t, he snapped right at it, and at once began to tear and chew it, meanwhile growing as horribly as such dininu- tive punches of fur can manage to gCowl. The noise was loudest when two cubs came near together and be-
 gan to chew at the same corner of the
 meat. The growls would grow louder, and they would push and shove each other with their bodies, bracing their feet firmly as they did so, until one
 would let go his hold and fly straight | at the other, and there would be a pitched battle for several seconds, during which there was little damage done by either side as a rule.
 There is good deal of difference in the characters Of the young wolves. Two of them have much more grit than the other two, and when there is a fight for possession of the food, the
 former usually come off victorious.
 These two are quite fearless of me, and
 will run up to be stroked and patted, and to playfully chew my fingers. The other two have much more fear. and will seldom allow me to put my hand
 on them if they can help it. Tie timid
 pair includes the largest member of the
 quartette, and the fearless pair incudes
 the smallest member, The latter has a
 babit which none of the rest has. or Irather it is much stronger in him than in any of the others. When he
 comes uo to one under the impression that food is about to be served, he will | leap at ones hands and at the same time snap his jaws. If he happens .
 catch a finger he surely draws bloc l,
 for his teeth, like those of his brethren,
 are both long and sharp for his age.
 When we approach them now, they
 bark very much like other puppies
 and occasionally one of them will point
 his nose at the sky, open his mouth, and howl. after the manner of q full
 grown wolf.
