SIGNIFICANT FACTS.
Things One Should KnowAbout
the South.

The Manufacturers. Record,
Baltimore, has just issued a little
folder Which gives these facts:
DO you know that theSouth's
agricultural productions now ex.
coed the total value of the agri.
cultural output of the United
States in 1880, and are almost as
great in value as the total of the
United States in 1890?
DO you know that the South
is mining more than twice as
much bituminous coal as the
UnitedStates mined in 1880?
DO you know that Southern
railroads must spend $1,000. 900,
600 in ten years to provide facil-
tiles needed in Southern growth
DO you know that the most
comprehensive and remarkable
warehousing system in the world
is in operation in Southern
town?
DO you know that the South
is building two of the most re-
markable railroads ever con-
structed in America, and that
, one of them is the most UNIQUE
ever built in the world?
DO you know that the South
is now spending $20,OO0,OOO in
building cotton mills?
DO you know that the Steel
Corporation having $4,000. 900
invested in Alabama is carrying
out vast improvements which
will add immensely to the pros
perity Of the whole South?
DO you know that good roads.
which mean more for agriculture
al prosperity than anything else
before the public, are being built
all over theSouth as never before
! at a cost of many millions of dol
lars?
DO you know that all of the
present development of the rail
road and Industrial work in the
South is only the revival of
what was being done prior to
1850 on a relatively still larger
scale, which shows the Unborn
trait ofSouthern people to turn
to Industrial interests?
Do you know that the South
lost by emigration between 1866
and 1900 about $500, 600 of it's
own white people. and that this
was a far greater loss than the
ruin and destruction by war?

WOMEN RUIN THEIR FIGURES.
Hugh Gains. the Boston sculptor,
declares sthat women's figures have
been ruined by devotion to fashion.
He says it is impossible for a wom-
an to be wasp-waisted one year and
free-laced the next and still preserve
artistic lines. He points out that
year or SO ago women were pinch.
ing their waists, and that at pres.
ent frocks hang loose with hardly A
suggestion Of waist line. Gains Ger
tainly hits the truth when he says
the fashions this summer are in exc.
cradle taste. Slim women are made
to look like toothpicks and plump
women are made to look twice their
natural size. The slim women can
stand it, the plump women can't, and
true to the contrariness of the sex.
it is the woman of comfortable avolr-
dupois who pushes the fashions to
the extreme. Thus every woman
above the normal weight for her
height could gain in proportion by
breaking her waist with a belt, but
invariably they run straight up and
down, thereby accentuating the full
ness, which secretly, of course, they
hate like poison. The failure in this
respect Of women to make the most
Of themselves forces the impression
that tire sex contains few artists

WOMEN WORK LONGER.

Mrs. Emma Maddox Funck, presl
dent of the Woman's Suffrage Asso
citation of Maryland, says that in Ger
tain States where men work under
an eight-hour law. women and chill
dren are employed twelve to four
teen hours and receive one-haif the
pay of the men. She says that only
nineteen out of the half hundred
States and Territories have legisla'
ton favoring working women at all,
and in most of these States it is in
favor Of girls under IS years old, who
are not permitted to work after 1C

SERVANTS AND THE SUFFRAGE

There is not the least excitement
in Germany over the strenuous doings
of the scrappy suffragists in England.
Repeated attempts have been made in
Berlin and other German cities to
awaken interest in equal suffrage. but
the German women refuse to take the
subject seriously. They are satisfied
to leave the turmoil of politics to
their husbands while they reign in
the homes. One practical argument
has been advanced: Il is that the
servant-sfrl question will become
more than serious if the ballot is
granted to women. The German idea
is that a woman who votes will not
be content to work as servant, and
will demand legislation for her own
social uplifting. There may be truth
at the bottom OF this strange theory
In fact, truth in it already has been
demonstrated in England, where SER
wants who have joined the suffrasises
insist they are the equal Of their mis-
tresses. OF course, when this situa.
ton arises there is trouble forth
with.-New York Press.

On "Wednesday evening Nov. "A Samuel Johnson, q form CT pupil, and Miss Fanny Phillips, the only young lady member ofthe '09 graduating class of the Sitka Training School were united in marriage at the Sitka Thlinget Church by the Rev. E. E. Brom- ley. The bride was attended by Miss Lily Cook, while William Koocka a classmate of Miss Philips was best man. The bride wore a pretty and becoming white cash mere dress which was entirely the work of her own hands.
 Miss Fanny was given away by Mrs. M.F. Schuknecht, her school mother. After the ceremony the happy couple receivedthe hearty congratulations of their former schoolmates and teachers and other friends. Mir. and Mrs. John son went at once to housekeeping ina house which they had rented at the Cottages.

The Sitka Training School extends sincereSt thanks to the many missionary societies. mis- sion bands. and other Organlza- tions which have this year sent to us boxes of clothing and ar tirleS to be used as Christmas gifts to our pupils. Every pack age and box received here has been acknowledged by letter to the person in whose name the box was sent. If the glverS ot these gifts could only be on hand here Christmas morning they would probably receive much more enthusiastic thanks than can beput on paper. We pray that the Father in Heaven may abuudantly bless these who have been so thoughtful of our wei fare here.
