FORTUNES IN SULPHUR.
Natural Chemical Conditions Exist
ing in the Arid Sections
of Texas.

Another revelation comes from
Texas. Ten million tons of sulphur
have been found in the trans-Pecos re-
gion, the sulphur field extending over
about 10000 acres, with a thickness
averaging nine and one half feet The
ore, states the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch, is the result of natural Chem
ical conditions produced during the
lacustrine period, which was one of
the phenomena of the arid sections
of Texas during the pliocene age, and
its appearance to mortal gaze in the
twentieth century is expected to stay
the hand of the importer for 20 years
to come The Importation of native
sulphur from Italy and other countries
amounts to from $4,000 to 100000 tons
per year. So large has been the de-
mand for sulphur-50,0 tons being
consumed in one year-that the sub
stitution of iron pyrites has been re-
sorted to in the manufacture of sui
phuric acid. With 100000 tons
of 40 pc: cent. native ore sulphur to
hand, certain manufacturing processes,
it is expected, will be reduced 20 per
cent, and the present rate of import
ing will be Offset for 20 years.

FISH THAT ARE LUxURIEs.
Among Varieties That Bring High
Prices English Sole Is the
Costliest.

''In these days." said fish dealer,
people pay for fish luxuries prices
that they never used to dream Of
THE costliest fish in this market
now is the English sole, which sells
for 60 cents pound, but there is a
demand for it at that price. Striped
bass bring as much as so cents a
pound, ard kingfish from 40 to so
cents.
"The first of the North Carolina
shad (roe shad, weighing say six or
seven pounds) sell for $3.50 apiece, or
so cents or more pound. HOLSTERS
are now 80 cents a pound-plenty Of
people can remember when they sold
for five and six cents, when Holsters
were plentiful
THE only fresh fish we import are
English sole; but plenty of fresh salm-
on are exported from this country
crossing this continent from our
northwest coast in refrigerator cars,
to be shipped from here in the re-
frigerator rooms of steamers another
5000 miles across the Atlantic to

CHAPTER TX.

~ ETTY never forgot her first
ID sight of the old friend of her
a--af family. Returning with n sad
.asiy heart, she was walking the
colt slowly through the carriage gates
when an eNtravagantly stout lady in
green muslin, illustrated with huge red
flowers, came out upon the porch and
waved fat arm to the girl. The WIS.,
itor wore dark green turban and a
cashmere shawl, while the expanse Of
her skirts was nothing short of mag
nifcent. Some cathedral dome seemed
to have been misplaced and the lady
dropped into it. Her outstretched hand
terrified Betty. How was she to APP
proach near enough to take it?
Mrs. Tanberry was about sixty, look
ed forty, and at first you might have
guessed she weighed nearly 800, but
the lightness Of her smile and the
actual buoyancy which she somehow
impaired to her whole dominion lessen
ed that by at least hundredweight.
She ballooned out to the horse block
with billowy rush somewhere be-
tween bounding and soaring, and Miss
Betty slid down from the colt, who
SHE'D violently, to find herself lenvel-
oped, in spite Of the dome, in vast
surf of green and red muslin.
'My charming grill" exclaimed the
lady vehemently in voice Of such
husky richness, Of such merriment and
JUNCTION of delight, that it fell upon
Miss Betty's ear with more of the
quality Of sheer gayety than any she
had ever heard. Beautiful child!
What a beautiful child you arel'
She kissed the girl resoundingly on
both cheeks, stepped back from her and
laughed and clapped her fat hands,
which were covered with flashing rings.
"Oh, but you are true blue beauty!
You're princessl am Mrs. Tanber-
~, Jane Tanberry, young JAMIE Tan
berry. l haven't seen you since you
were baby and your pretty mother

"You are so kind to come" said Bet
ty hesitatingly. II shall try to be very
obedient.'
"Obedient!" Mrs. Tanberry uttered
the word with Shrek. you'll be

mindedest woman in the universe, and
any one who obeyed me would be en-
broiled in everlasting trouble every Sec
ond In the day. You'll find that am
the one that needs looking after, my
charmer."
She tapped Miss Betty's cheek with
her jeweled fingers as the two mount
ed the veranda steps. at will be wor-
ry enough for you to obey yourself. A
body sees that at the first blush. You
have conscience in your forehead and
rebellion in your chin. Ha, ha, hap

is more profit in the issuance of such
notes than in putting out notes of larg-
