English Woman's Brother Supposed to
Have Been Tiny Tim.
The original of Dickens Little Dor

person of Mrs. Georgina Margaret
Hayman. She was nearly eighty-one.
Her father, Mr.. Bridges, was Lon
don solicitor and was for many years
an intimate friend of Dickens. The

solicitors house and took a keen in

Mrs. Hayman as girl was pretty,

q pair of red shoes that she used to
wear, an incident which Dickens made
use of in his works.
Mrs Hayman's brother, who died
while still lad, is said to have in

Tiny Tim in "A Christmas Carol"
The boy met with an accident while
at play, being impaled on an area rail-

FALL RIVER 70 CELEBRATE
SPINNING ANNIVERSARY.
Massachusetts City Now Second lE
Worlds Cotton Manufactures.

The one hundredth anniversary of
cotton manufacturing In Fall River,
Mass, is approaching, and the occasion
viii probably be celebrated by some
demonstration BETTING the largest cot
ton manufacturing center In this coun-
try and the second largest in the world
1t was In 1911 that Colonel Joseph
Durfee promoted the first cotton mill
In what is now Fall River, then the
town of Troy. The original mill is
standing, somewhat remodeled as the
result of fire In 1s43, and is used as
storehouse.
The mill was In operation as a cot
ton mill for about fourteen years and
was afterward used as printing mill.
Just how many processes were car
ried on In this old mill 100 years ago
cannot be said, but probably the yarn
was spun on the crude frames then In
operation to a very limited extent.
1t is said that the cotton. which
came from the south In sailing packets,
was distributed around the neighbor-
hood and hand carded and taken to the
mill for spinning. Then the yarn was
sent out to people near by who owned
hand looms and was there woven into
cloth and returned to the mill for sale
and distribution.
The first Durfee mill was not much
Of financial success, but It set the
bali rolling and helped to build up a
spindle city noted for It's strong finan-
cial position and its able organizations
OF manufactures Of cotton.
Since the first Durfee mill was
financed by Fall River residents home
investors have been liberal supporters
Of cotton manufacturing enterprises,
and today thirty corporations OPP
crate 100000 spindles capitalized at
about $31 ,000, 600.

ONLY ONE KIND OF WOOD
GOOD FOR CIGAR BOX USE.
Spanish Cedar, Grown in Cuba, Yet to
Be Duplicated In World.

There are more than 100000 cigar
boxes used in the United States every
year. The wood from which the best
boxes are made comes from Cuba and
Is known as Spanish cedar. After the
war with Spain the supply Of this
wood was greatly diminished and its
price raised so that for time cigar
dealers were obliged to find substi-
tute for this kind of cedar.
Various woods were tried, but trou-
BILE was found in selling these boxes,
because connoisseurs insisted that a
fine cigar was spoiled by putting it in
any but box made of Spanish cedar.
This wood always retains the flavor of
a good cigar Indeed, it is contended
in some quarters that 1t improves the
flavor. The reason given is that 1t
grows in the same localities as the
best Havana tobacco.
Attempts to use cedar grown In the
United States for cigar boxes have
not been successful. The Florida and
the South American eedars contain a
peculiar gum that melts when the
wood is exposed to the heat of the
store or house, and thus the labels and
sometimes the cigars in box are
spoiled.
The smokers of cheaper brands of ci-
gars are, of course, less particular
about the quality Of the wood used
for their boxes, and a veneered cedar
made from a peculiar sort of cedar
that grows in Mexico is often sub
stituted for the Spanish article. But
it cannot be done without the cigar
dealers finding it out. and the conse-
quence is that even a good cigar when
packed in such box sells at dis
advantage

WOMEN RULE THIS ISLAND.

Control Of 5erlns Sea Colony Affects

A suffragist paradise has been dis
covered In faroff Alaskan isle. Here
the wife and mother rules the house
hold, according to Z. L, Bales, old time
hunter and guide. who learned the
facts while taking the census Of the
Isle.
Nunivak island. a low. marshy bit
OF land lying In Bering sea just off
the Alaska coast, between the mouths
of the Yukon and the Kuskokwim riV-
ers, Is the home of the female rulers.
The population Of the island Is ITO
souls. The men outnumber the wom-
en-. Children are q rarity. This low
birth rate is believed to be caused by
the powerful command the women
have over all domestic matters, which
seems to have the effect OF disturbing
the functions Of the mother. In the
last ten years, according to the emu,
merator, there have been but twenty
weddings, and but seven children have
been born In that time.
He predicts that IN another ten years
the last trace of the older generations
Of this and many other native tribes
In Alaska will be wiped out from de-
generation and race suicide brought
about by the predominating influence
the women have over the men.

A recent report Of the geological sur

United States possesses probably the
largest and richest phosphate deposits
In the world. From surveys recently
cast up in totals these deposits show
evidences Of 81. 000.o COO tons Of high
grade phosphate rock, while the
chances are that millions more tons
may be added to this total before the
pay rock is exhausted
These deposits show the rock In peb-
BILE formation. closely cemented in
masses and containing some calcite
These round particles vary from mi
croscopic size to pebbles half an inch
In diameter. In color the phosphate
rock ranges from gray to q Jet
black, the black probably due to ear
boniferous matter.
All public lands suspected Of con-
tanning valuable deposits Of phosphate
now are Withdrawn from public entry
until such time as the value Of the
deposits Is tested, preserving the
status OF the land until congress shall
