Miraculous Eses.

A correspondent calls to mind an
incident in the life of Professor An
derson, "the wizard of the north,' .
says the London News. Walking
through the butter and egg market
in Aberdeen, he bought one cgg
from an old woman with basket
full. He cracked the shell on the
spot and extracted d SOVEREIGN
which he calmly pat in his pocket
lie asked for another egg and took
another sovereign from it. The
wizard then asked, Glow much for
the basket"
"Na, ma. Yell get nae mair,"
was the reply, as the salcswoman
swung the basket on her arm and
rushed home to break every egg she
had.
She found them all nice and
fresh, and the wizard sent her one
of his soyereigns.

Oriain Of Dollar Mark.

every American knows the
meaning of the dollar mark, but IN
the urgent quest for that which it
represents few ever take time to
learn its origin" said a bank clerk
the other day.
after a careful search of several
books" he continued, Il have found
that it was originally the figure S
and was first used to denote dollars
by Alexander Hamilton. This gen
t!cman, it is well known, lived fol-
a number of years among Spanish
people, and it is from them he de-
rived the use of the figure as sign
for our dollar. In a Spanish dollar
there are just eight pieces, and
when prefxed by Spaniard to a
number it signifies so many times
eight pieces. The two lines were
aftcrward drawn through to distin'
guish it from other figures. New

The Letter Of tho Law.

The Hon. John Steel was sher-
if in Missouri. A new county judge
was elected, and Steel, thinking to
pay the judge a delicate compli-
ment, selected for his first panel OF
jurors every fat man in the county.
The Judge weighed nearly 300
pounds. The day was hot, and
Steel, when he took the jurors out
to dinner, fed them so heartily that
thev all went to sleep during the
afternoon. The judge was furious.
"What do you mean," he roared
at the sheriff, ''by bringing those
sleepyheads into court as a jury !:
They haven't heard any of this aft
ernoon's evidence. I discharge the
panel. Go out now and get a panel
of men who will stay awake. l
want men with a single eye to JUS
tice, not dolts like these"
Steel went out and rode the coun-
ty that night. When the judge ap-
peared next morning Steel had a
panel of one eyed men for him.

An Animal Born Only to Die.

The instances of natural death in
the animal world are conspicuous III
comparison with those in the vege-
table world for their greater vari-
ETY. and complexity. There seems
no doubt that this manner of death
established itself Independently in
the different groups of animals.
Years ago an American naturalist,
Dana, discovered on the surface of
the sea a little animal of so sim
gular character that he named it
"monstrilla." 1t is a small crusta-
ccan akin to the cyclops so common
in ponds. But, while the latter are
furnished with all that is necessary
to capture and digest their food, the
monstrilla has neither apparatus for
scizing prey nor digestive tube. 1t
is richly provided with muscles,
nervous system, organs of sense and
sexual organs. 1t only lacks what
is necessary to prolong life by ali
mentation. The monstrilla is doom
ed therefore to natural Aath.-Pro-
fessor Ellie Metchnikoff in Harper's.

Flowers and Scents.<

'Identically the same says
a writer, "may occur IN plantsNbe-
longing to widely different families.
For instance, the distinctive smell
Of violets occurs also III the snow
fake, the stocks, a spurge laurel
and the blue water lily of the Nile.
On the other hand, closely allied
plants may emit sceAts differing
greatly in nature and appealing to
the tastes of different insects.
Among the spurge laurels one spe..
cics smells Of vanilla, another OF
violets, another of lilac and yet an
other Of cloves. Flowers which ex-
hale the delicious smell Of honey in
the comb appeal particularly to
bees, butterflies and the moths
which fly BY day, as the humming
bird, the hawk moth and the gayly
coiore,i burnet. The coarser and
more powerful scents of the haw-
thor and elder are tie special al;
lurement of the beautiful green rose
beetle and other flower loving bee
ties, while butterflies leave this class
of scents severely alone"

LUMBER CONCERNS
have SUSPENDED
MILLS SHUT DOWN TO BOOST
THE MARKET PRICE.
Thereby Proving, to Their Own Minds,
That There Is No Such Thing as a
Lumber Trust Within the State of
Mississippi.
Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
jackson, June 2S.-More than one
half the lumber manufacturing plants
in the piney woods belt of Mississippi
have closed down or are running on
shortened time, and reports from that
section state that many others are
preparing to do so during the first
week in July.
The closing of mills is reflected in
the decided decrease of the volume of
domestic shipments through jackson
during the past ten days, the deliver
les made by the Ship Island road to
this point having slumped more than
80 per cent, as compared with the
traffic three months ago, while a cor
responding decrease is shown in ship
ments originating at points along the
Illinois Central.
This is the season when the mill
men generally close for repairs, but in
majority of instances the plants
have closed down in order to curtail
the output and give buoyancy to the
market. Apropos of this state OF az
fairs, the lumbermen are pointing to
the condition of the market as refu-
tation of the charge that lumber
trust is in existence, and declare that
| If there is a lumber trust it is time
that it should do something to help the
market.
The mills will resume operations
during the early autumn, just at the
period when the cotton crop COM
mences to move, and the old cry of
car shortage will inevitably follow,
the millmen declaring that fancy
prices will then prevail but they will
be unable to get enough cars to de-
liver the manufactured product.

THE NORTH KNOWS
SOUTHS GREATNESS

Chattanooga, June 2S.-The Trades
man says;
"The truth is that ever since the
days of reconstruction when the men
of the South were given chance to
rebuild their devastated land and re-
store its waste places, the South has
been fully awake and vigorously at
work, until it no longer cringes at the
feet OF Wall street or begs for means
to finance its industries but on the
contrary Wall street is practically a
heggar today at the feet of the South,
pleading for the privilege of doing
business. There base been indeed an
awakening but these Northern maya
zines have made the mistake of plac-
Dixon's line.
Understanding the impelling mo-
tives, however, that have brought out
these publications, The Tradesman has
discouraged that class of so-called adj
vertising on the part of Southern cities
and in view of all the surroundings it
is surprising that any of these maya
zines should be thus favored, when
their publications in the main are
rather more libellious of the South
than beneficial to it.
More than quarter of a century
ago the discerning and progressive
business men OF the North became
aware of the true outlook in the South
and began to arrange for a share OF
that trade which they realized was OBJ
( tainable here, and not moment since
that time have any of these enter
tanned any thought that the South was
asleep, although there were and are
yet some Northern business houses
who are asleep to the business oppor
tunities that exist in the South.
1T must be infinitely ammusing tc
the former class, who have been ii
touch for the past twenty-five years
with the progress of the South through
the medium of The Tradesman, to see
Northern magazines publishing pait
articles about the industrial awaken
ing of the South at this late day.
Look all over the South and wit
ness what those progressive Northern
Hattiesburg daily news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1907-1908, 1907-06-28

firms have done to show their knowl-
edge that the South was awake.
Branch houses of these firms are
found throughout this section, some of
which have been established for more
than quarter of a century. In the
face of these facts it should dawn on
those who are being bled by Northern
advertising schemes, just how foolish
it is to be writing or talking now of
the 'South's Industrial awakening
1.-THE proper thing to do for those
who are thus fishing for suckers
amongs the towns and cities of the
South, would be to teach them the les
son that the South is fully awake and
on to their little games, and if they
are DESTROYS of waking anybody up
they should go back home and prac-
tice on some of their own people who
need it, There are other channels in
which the towns and cities of the
South can spend their surplus reve-
nues much more proftably. There is
/
need of redoubling their energies and
efforts in behalf Of those policies that
have placed the South in it's present
proud position in the industrial world.
THE Southern press have Loyalty
stood by the South for the advance
ment of those policies that have
brought wealth and influence to the
Southern people, but if greater wealth
and influence are hoped for it must
be known that these can come only
through the same channels that have
brought the present good fortunes and
this truth should never be lost sight OF
or its advocacy for moment discon-
tinued
Another awakening in the North
that may be mentioned is among that
class of politicians who have ever as
sumed a patronizing air towards the
South based on their theory that the
South was asleep. These are now
awakening to the fact that the South
has been wide awake all these years
that it has been ever striving, ever
advancing until today it possesses the
highest ideals in government and the
Hottest exhibition of material that the
world has ever known"
