 J. A. Wilkinson, candidate for Com missioner of Agriculture, shipped the first bale of new cotton to Selma this year. The bale was raised upon his plantation in Autauga county and was noon. Last night It was put upon q wagon and started upon its journey to this city.
 The wagon reached Selma about 5 o'clock this morning. It was coDsign- ed to N. Waller & CO, and the bale was turned over to that firm.
 Shortly afterwards the new bale was hauled down to the cotton exchange and placed upon the sidewalk. It was made kn1wn that. as Is the custom the. new bale would be auctioned off at noon and at that hour in front If the cotton exchange there assembled the majority of the cotton men of the city.
 to the crowd The bid started at 10 cents a pound. and soon become quite spirited 1t was; finally knocked down to the Thompson Cotton Company at IT i-2 cents a pound. The bale weigh- ed about 500 pounds and was classed as good middling. The price paid for the bale here today Is the highest Teceved for the first bale in the state so far this year.
 MT. Wilkinson who raised the bale of cotton is considered one of the best farmers in this section of the state. He shipped the first bale of seed cot ton to Selma last summer but he was unable to get it ginned right away and for that reason did not get the honor of having sent the first bale of cotton to the city.

BARON HrRscH,s s PALAcE

The palace of the late Baron Hirsch, at the corner of tae Rue de lElysee and Avenue Gabriel, is on the market There is no more desirably situated res idence in Paris, Itstands in its own grounds on the site or Sebastani House, in which the Due de Praslin murdered the Duchess, nee Sebastiani, not many weeks before the revolution of 1S4S. The Empress Eugenie ad- vised by Baron Haussman, bought a considerable portion of the site before the city of Paris voted the creation of a street, now the Rue de lElysee, to de- tacte completely the palace which was to serve as her dover residence, but has been instead the abode of Presi- dents of the Republics, She built on this property house in which she hoped her mother would reside in the reign of Napoleon ". Napoleon III had kept that lady as far off as ne could from Paris, and she had, respect ing his wishes, returned to Madrid, to live there near her eldest daughter, the Duchess of Ava. This house is exter- nally what it was when Baron Hirsch, w&ile Truth was still young, pur- chased it of the Empress for sum ex- ceedingthree and half millions. He took advantage of some flaw in the title which time has rectifled, to make a hard bargain. As soon as he had en- tered into possession he risked on it a considerably lareer sum in internal al- terations and improvements, adding a winter garden and the present stair case. The architect had orders to fol- low as closely as the space at his dis posal and the structure of the rest of the house admitted, the grand staircase at the opera house. But the Baron de cided not to change the mural decora- tions and ceilings in some of the rooms by Olivier Picot, Cabanel and Chaplin, In one of the rooms there is children S party in which the Prince Imperial, the youthful De Mornys, rEspinasses, and Ccnneaus, his camarades d'enfance, are dancing around.

last century came in there was not one in use.
 The inventor was poor Vermont blacksmith, silas Howes, who lived in South Shaftsbury.
 One dull, rainy day peddler tee tinware called at his shop to have the blacksmith fasten shoe on his horse. These peddlers travelled up and down the country calling at every farmhouse buying everything in the way of bar ter. This one had a number of worn out steel saws that he had picked up in various places. Howes bargained for them shoeing the peddlers horse and receiving the saws in payment, and each thought he had an excellent trade.
 His idea was to polish and weld two saws together, at right angles, and thus make a rule or measure superior to anything then in use. After a few attempts he succeeded in making a square, marked it off into inches and fractions of inches and found that i. answered every purpose that he in- tended it for
 In the course of a few weeks he made quite number during his spare hours. These he sent out by the ped dlers who found every carpenter eager to buy one. Soon he found orders coming in faster than he could supply the demand. One of his steel squares would sell for $5 or S6, which was five times as much as it cost him.
 He applied for and obtained a pat ent on his invention so that no one else could deprive him of the profit it gave him. It was just after the war of 1872, and money was scarce and difficult to get. But he worked early and late. and as he earned money he bought iron, and hired men to help him. In few years he was able to erect a large factory and put in ma chinery for the making of squares, which by this time had found their way an over the country and had made their inventor famous.
 Such was the small beginning of a large and important industry. Peo- pie came miles to see the wonderful forges, the showers of sparks flying from beneath the heavy hammers, and

THE DEAD LINE IN MODERN
 INDUSTRY.

The tendency now is still further to speed up machinery: and it may there fore be expected, in spite of the belief of some that the limit of endurance ahs been reached in many cases, that the operative will gradually be worked up to still higher speed and at higher pressure than now. The disposition is more and more to replace machinery with other of later and more efficient design, so as to get the product in the shortes practicable time That is to say as soon as 1t becomes apparent that a particular machine is no longer doing as efficient, and therefore as econo- minal, work as another might, it is at once thrown into the scrap pile and the new one installed. As part of the same policy-p0ssibly necessary part under present industrial conditions there is a growing disposition to elimi- nate the old men among the operatives. For, inasmuch as the man is coming to be a part of the madline he tends, and like it, is worked up to the highest limit of of speed and endurance, he after a time shows signs of wear; he passes the critical period of efficiency and can not longer maintain the tremendous rate at which he has been running Under such circumstances he is nc longer profitable to the capitalist, and is therefore ready to be sent to the scrap pile, along with his machine, and his place filled by a younger man Startling evidences of such a disposi- tion is found in the recent dismissal of many old employees by several of the great corporations They had passed the dead line Younger men could be had cheaper, and with a little practice become more efficient. Similar evidence may be seen at the employment office of practically large business house The man out of a job and on the shady side of forty stands little chance, indeed of selection for any position, unless the supply of younger men similarly quail fled Cor, even if not qualified, appar- ently promising)) be considerably less than the demand The only thing for him is gradual descent into other work requiring less eXpertness and less strenuousness, and consequently com manding less pay.-Engineering Maga- zine.

This interesting picture Is the like ness of the man who said Corns and Bunions, Bad Nails and inf1amed Feet were the invention of Satan.
 He graduated from college and is highly educated, has D fine house, good looking wife and pretty children, but rather clumsy looking feet, and is most disagreeable father of a crying baby
 Anyone can judge if his clothes fit or not, and what discomfort he must undergo from his swollen feet. He has completely exhausted all the profane words in the languages of many na- tions declaring Sore and Inf1aned Feet a thoughtless mistake He says he knows all about it. Hc has tried the use of several Corns, Bunions and Nails for some years and thinks there is slow torture enough in them to drive fifty rational men into a madhouse. He could not work, and lost lots of time. He tried several ten cent reme- dies but grew worse and worse. He spoke to his wife about going to seq Dr. Welch, at 792 Chapel st. She said ''Oh yes, he'll do you good, why didnt I think to tell you before. If you can get your feet so you can work, we won't have to take in washing" Then he asked the advice of his mother-in- law but she called him a fool to think of going to a noted chlropodist about his feet He then experimented with more cheap corn salve; heat a base drum and put two bull dogs in the parlor to drown his groans. This most patient father did not think he was a fool, but did not see the doctor; but came to the conclusion that he might as well try to dam Niagara At this stage he declared he had not slept for several weeks. He was bored with pain, and exhausted and done for if he did not find relief and rest. He finally came to his senses after long delibera- tion and suffering and consulted pr. Welch, 792 Chapel Street, New Haven. and went home a changed man. and wheeled the baby all over the park He told his friends at the club what great relief he found at the hands of Dr. Welch and Uncle Sam's Balsam and Alleviator. Others may find the same relief.

municipal ownership is entered into by
all sorts and conditions of Bostonians.
Concerning municipal ownership, as
applied to any active business inter
ests. little Is heard in Boston. At the
last city election the candidate who ran
for mayor on this issue, then so much
in evidence in New York and Oh ,cago,
might as well have delivered his
speech in the wilderness, They at
tracted practically no attention what
ever, yet Boston is pioneer in that
form of municipal ownership which
tends TO promote the health, pleasure
and recreation of its people.
1t would be safe to say that no other
city in the country does so much for
the direct personal benefit of its citi-
zens. The legend free for all'' on

municipal socialism, unlimited-the
kind of municipal ownership which

nightly profitable because of the better
health and greater content of the
people-which is no mean municipal
asset-and in the consequent decrease
