 We take up the same old cry and urge the same old arguments. We have al- most reached the limit of our industrial development in Iron and steel unless we turn our pig iron into more finished and valuable products. We may increase the production of iron by a few hundred thousand tons a year (although this is not immediately possible), but we shall be not much further along In fact, as one may regard it, we shall not be rel. atively as far along as we are now for we shall have spent tho money for pig iron, for Itself. that Is the vital point, but the use to which 1t is put Instead of planning for larger furnaces and moro of them 1t seems to us that a correct reading of the signs of the times would induce capital to plan for using what Is now made. If we interpret industrial his- tory aright 1t Is the conversion of pig Iron into wrought iron and steel and the things made for them that makes indus

 At the time Charlie and his friends left Rouen for London three of us went on to Paris, but we did not go to big hotel; we rented rooms in a private house on some quiet street We wanted 10 see Paris. from its palaces to its slums and all between. The five weeks we spent in the city were five weeks hard work; out in the morning at to visit the mar kets; cut until II and 12 at night at fetes, cafe ehantants, students balls and Latin-quarter suppers.

 Sometimes 1t seems a pity that we can not hold to the original meaning of word. That old word keep" means to guard. Any one who has held the post of sentinel will appreciate this thought. The word is worth something to us if 1t makes us think of God Almighty as our guard. There are great dangers all around us-dangers doctrinal, dangers practical. It is easy to fall Into loose habits of thinking; it is easy for faults in the life to breed errors in the brain, and for these errors to react on the life. Whatever you may believe about "the final perseverance of the saints,' you cannot deny that many saints" have fallen and do still fall, into grievous sins. You may repudate the Arminian doctrine of failing from grace but High Calvin ist though you be, you cannot but believe that we often fall for the want of grace

 One of the greatest attractions for an Englishman in foreign country is a person who speaks his own language. In no respect so much as In his ignor- ance of the language of other nations does the Englishman show his contempt for foreigners. Hang them," he will say, why don't these people speak to me in a language I can understand?" It Is in vain you tell him he is in France, or in Germany, or in Russia. and that the people of these countries speak their own language, and that 1t is his duty to speak their language to them. An Englishman and his family, consisting of his wife and daughters, two very beau tiful young ladies, were staying at the hotel When the waiter presented the bill of fare for breakfast the English man Ca typical John Bull, just as he appears in the cartoons), would ignore the card but proceed to tell the waiter he wanted Ia nice piece of beefsteak, medium done," and so on. to all which

termont is not to be brought about by increasing the output of pig iron, but by planning to use the iron now made. We reach cut into other markets for pig iron, why may we not also command markets that require more finished material? We talk of all water communication with Mobile, but unless we have great deal more than pig iron to sell we shall not need the canal. The markets for pig iron are north and east, not south and west. There is no reason to anticipate large shipments of pig Iron to northern and eastern markets by way of Mobile. As for coal, we can hardly supply domestic demands, to say nothing of those outside of the state.
 Not that we decry the canal, far from 1t, but the point we urge Is that the ex- tension of markets for Alabama products will be helped by the canal in the pro- portion in which those products are of d more finished character.
 It Is the same old story, so eloquently told years ago by Henry Grady. We send our pig iron to our northern friends and pay them to convert it into things which we need and which we buy back from them it being understood, of course, that they are In business simply for their health.

Bull would reply What the dickens am I paying my money for? Does he think I'm going to talk in his lingo? Who can tell what these words on the bill of fare mean? I'll bet I have eaten nothing but frogs and snails since I came to this country"

 Old Charlie and Several other of the ships crew found a boarding house in which English was spoken and where English meals were served at English hours by an Englishman. It was sail ors boarding house, patronized by Eng fish and American sailors. Here they spent their time drinking and singing all

day, and at night they set out to visit the dance halls. Cut heads and black eyes were plentiful among them. By the time the ship paid off they had spent nearly all their money and the proceeds of a twelve months voyage was swallowed up in the claims of their landlord. As we separated that day at the shipping office in Rouen, old Charlie and his friends, with barely enough left to pay their way back to London, we could not help thinking how truly the Russian spoke when he said i've vas goin to ruin in France
 One of the chief attractions that France has for the traveller is the opportunity to gratify any and every wish of ones heart. If a person wants to hear music, see paintings and sculpture; if he ad- mires architecture or great engineering works; if he wants to study municipal problems or observe the happiness of country life, he will find all these things in France carried out to a degree un- known elsewhere. If he wants to find vice and depravity in its lowest stage he will find it there. Many people especially Americans, visit Paris and think they have seen France but Paris is no more France than New York Is the United States. No great cosmopolitan city can be regarded as representative of na- ton. True. Paris Is one of the greatest cities in the world. It may be said that the person who has been to Paris and

 There is scarcely anything more crude than pig iron. It must be worked over into many different forms before it can come into use. 1t must go to the foun- dry, the pudding furnace or the steel furnace before it's value is enhanced be- yond the price of about one cent pound It is a very crude thing, is pig iron, and much money and skill is required before 1t can come to its own It has to be melted and squeezed and rolled and ham mered and re-heated and re-rolled and re- hammered before 1t is anything more than common pig iron, Berkshire. maybe, some of it. but for the most part an or dinary kind of pig. Some notable steps have been taken in the district to con vert this crude product into more useful and valuable forms and these are surely in the right direction. But we may not attain to a much better position in the struggle until we can supply the demand for more finished products
 We need more establishments for malk- ing agricultural machinery, saw mills and saw mill supplies, mine supplies, cotton gins, cotton ties, congresses, oil mills, railroad supplies, sugar house supplies, steel castings, structural material and all the scores of things that are made of iron and steel; their number is beyond mention.

bottle, but the position in the audience regulated the price.
 It takes a little time to learn the ways of Paris and 1t is only the person who goes there with limited amount of money will learn. When we visited cafes chantant afterwards we did not take front seats. The walters in cafes and restaurants depend upon the tips they receive for their pay, and in some places even buy the privilege of being allowed to serve as waiter. When they see an American come in they know that the least amount given them will be fifty cents, probably a dollar, but the French man gets equally as good service by tipping the waiter two sous.
 The golden rule of conduct in France or for that matter in any country. is to notice what the natives do. When you take a seat at a table in a hotel be sure your are next, or opposite, to people who belong to the country in which you are. Countries have their customs of serving meals and 1t Is necessary to closely ob- serve how others act when certain dishes are presented, and afterwards how to eat what you have taken from the dish.

In this state we are not well equipped for transforming the pig Iron that is made into things that nearly every one uses, in one way or another whether it be a sash weight or a cambrlc needle,
 In the state there are between eighty and ninety foundries and machine shops, by far the greater number working on products which do not command the higher prices An effort is now being made, by writing to each one of them, to ascertain what kind of work is ac- complished and the general and special equipment for such work It will take some time to accumulate the data de- sired, but it is intended to lay the in- formation before tn readers of this paper. The pyrpose of the inquiry is to ascertain what are the facilities within the state for working up the pig iron made in the state. How much of the pig iron made In Alabama is transformed, in Alabama, into more valuable products and what Is the nature of these products? There Is no doubt that we are beginning to utilize a considerable proportion of the pig iron made here, but just what this proportion is and what use is made Of the pig iron is largely a matter of sur mise at present Alabama has done well in the production of iron. The progress here Is Indeed wonderful and we naturally expect to do even better. But this bet

flight of the prophet from Mecca, in A. D. 622. In passing, 1t might be mentioned that the Mohammedan year contains 354 or S55 days. so that the beginning of the year retrogrades through the seasons completing tho circuit about every thirty three years.
 Many other calendars are now. or have been in existence. For instance, when the French revolutionists were tearing up everything that they could think of. they adopted a calendar of their own, giving new names to the twelve months. The year consisted ordinarily of 365 days, with an additional one thrown in when ever the position of the equinox required it.
 But the making of calendars is entirely too complicated for an explantion that would be of interest to the general read er According to the Julian calendar, the year arbitrarily consisted of 36ol4 days, the fractions being saved for four years, when another day was added. Pope Gregory fixed the year at 365 days, 3 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds, so in @ few million years time will be all out of whack. This need not worry us, how ever we are cheerfully informed. If the year 4OOO ana lts mulupies aie ooi. sidered common instead of leap years, 1t will about even up matters. If 1t doesn't we cannot help it.
 There Is much of interest in the nomen- clature of the calendar In 1t are some incongruities. Pope Gregory arranged for the check and balance of the leap years as best he could with the means at hand. but he left the names of the months as they were at the time of Augustus Cae- sar. All are of Latin origin. and many of them are called for the ancient deities. The names of some are due to the per sonal vanity of temporal sovereigns, sev-
