writing and is now in the hands of the

ing the terrible three days’ battle at

GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.
The Industrial Situation as Reported
for the Past Week.
The report on the industrid condition of the
south for the past week says: The on'.put of
pig irou continues on a large scale, and prices
are fairly well maintained. While no large
transactions are reported, the aggregate of
medium and small orders is sufficient to pre¬
vent accumulation of stocks in the yards. The
t-’outnern coal operators are doing'a satisfac¬
tory amount of business. The lumber market
is slowing improving as to prices, and the good
effects of associations of manufacturers are
lieginning to be seen. Low prieed cotton is
preventing an increase in tlie volume of nitr¬
es utile business. Money is easy, but collections
are somewhat slow.
Thirty-eight new industries were incorporated
or established duriug the week, prominent
among which are: The Roanoke Rapids Power
Co., of North Carolina, capi'al $2.000 000: a
$200,000 brewery &t Jacksonville. Fia.; a 500

A T.ITEBARY BEGGAR WOMAV.
The death of “The Blind Woman of
Mauzanares” has attracted wide atten¬
tion iu Spam, where she was known
from one eiul of the country to the
other. She was a poet and had re¬
markable talent for writing begging
verses, describing her misery. Many
of the poems are beautiful, and the
author enjoyed a large income. She
was said to be one of the best reciters
in Spain, and many of the most fa
mous men in that country made pil
grimages to her house to hear her.
Queen Isabella gave her a pension
years ago. She left about $60,000.—
Chicago Record.
USES FOR OLD GLOVES.
If you have any old gloves with long
wrists, just think before pitching them
into the waste basket and cut off the
tops and save them for fancy work.
The kid can be easily cleaned and is
capable of being made into a number
of pretty articles. Several pieces of
tan-colored kid stitched together
along the edges will make a neat to¬
bacco pouch. Run a drawing string
of gilt cord through the top, and
paint or embroider an initiator device
on the side. You have no idea how
pretty a thing it is wli8n finished. An
opera glass bag is another thing which
can be made from two square pieces
of undressed kid. Select a heliotrope
or lavender shade and paint pansies
or violets thereon. The ribbon draw¬
ing string should be the same color as
the flowers, Kid covers for small
books, kid hair receivers and fan bags,
kid picture frames, card cases, pin
trays and a host of other dainty ar¬
ticles can be made from the despised
glove tops. This is surely the day of
small things.
THE BUTTON’S DAY.
Buttons have come to tlie fore, and
they are here to stay. With the ex¬
ception, naturally, of boas, muffs,
etc., fur will not be in great demand.
It is to be a button season. For both
useful and ornamental purposes the
button will be largely employed.
Round and square mother-of-pearl
designs are already seen on coats and
tailor suits. They are very large, and
are elaborately ornamented with
metal. One of the newest in all-metal
buttons is the moire design, very rich
and beautiful, coverpH ’ft _
_Handsome buttons, of finely
woven, beautifully designed silk
braids, will be used on heavy winter
wraps; w r hile for those fortunate mor¬
tals to whom bank notes are as plenty
as leaves in autumn there are tho ex¬
quisite and expensive bronze and
miniature styles.
Silk and .voolen braids, of which
many lovely patterns are to be had,
will naturally be seen during the but¬
ton era. These come in various
widths, some of the silk braids being
embroidered, too, with jet, steel or
gold beads.—New York World.
FEMININE NICKNAMES.
The observant woman takes careful
note of the changes that are constant¬
ly going on about her in dress, man¬
ners and customs generally. One of
the most felicitous changes now’ taking
place is the passing aw’ay of the nick
namo and the sensible return to the
good old-fashioned cognomens of half
a century ago. She who was baptized
Elizabeth practically ignored that
sterling name for years, and was called
Bessie, Lizzie, Libbia or some other
weak and undignified “pet name,” but
nowadays she signs herself “Elizabeth
Stuart Brown” and takes pride in her
pretty Biblical name. So, too, that
charming girl who was wont to be
called Jennie now comes boldly for¬
ward and asserts herself as Jane ; and
the Carrie or Nina of a few years since
very properly writes herself Caroline.
Even the dear and blessed word
mother was for a time counted un¬
fashionable, but the mother of to-day
first of all gives her children good,
honest names, and then teaches them
to address her as “mother.” It is in¬
deed a cause for congratulation that
the little ones are being called Ruth,
Esther, Rebecca and other names that
have a meaning and a history, for at
the present rate ot , advancement it
will not be long before the use of
nicknames will be wholly a thing of the
past. There are really very few of
them that are improvements on the
original. —New York Advertiser.
SOCIETY NEEDS NURSES.
A novel feature of . the nineteenth . . ,,
century health resort is the trained
nurse, who has become an established
institution of everr fashionable ren
dezvous. The custom began in hotels
patronized bv invalids and Laser
st
note prefers JofntrustLporWcase.!
to the care of special nurses. When
these cases occur at a summer resort,
or as is often the case, the patient is
ordered by the attending physician to
one or the other place for a change of
air, a nurse is many times a necessity,
and consequently their number in
creases with the proportion of summer
travel. One nurse who is a favorite
in Washington is always taken to
Nantucket through the recommends
tion of a leading physician, by whom
she is regularly engaged. The same
way with the other resorts. Every
city has its favorites among profes
sional nurses, and in this way the pro
fession often finds summer work by
no means as wearing a-: one would be
led to suppose.
These curses have stated hours and
times for everythin^, and are thus en-
cst of them. One can therefore readilv
understand why the profession is
yearly growing iu favor amongyoung
ladies of culture atul refinement,
whose means are not sufficient to en
able them to ignore work. The ad
vantage is two-fold, as every one who
has enjoyed the attention of a well
tr:r- " irse in contrast to the ig
no rant services of the Betsy Prigg and
Sairv Gamp order can testify.—Wash

Chine taffetas are popular for even
mg wear.
Line fine dress skirts with silk ; they
will hang much better.
There are already purple tints dis
played that promise to be popular.
The three furs most in demand will
be mink, sealskin and Persian lamb,
Oue pretty combination for a gown
is of putty colored cloth and blue gray
silk.
A brownish pink called clover color,
flax-flower blue, dull greens and cycla¬
men are among the most fashionable
c °l° r s.
A band of ribbon in irregular folds
across the front and finished at the
arms with rosettes is especially be
coming,
With fancy waists, collars, vests,
waistcoats, blouses and neck dressing,
one may almost transform an ordinary
wardrobe.
The bolero jacket still continues the
fashion, and checks and stripes, both
small and large, are tremendously
fashionable.
White woolen “sweaters,” they say,
with soft, black silk sashes, will be
the thing to wear for bicycle riding
on cool mornings.
The forget-me-not is the favorite
ornamentation on the new belt buckles.
Daisies and roses cau also be found iu
their natural colors.
Two straps crossing the front and
ending under a ribbon belt at the un¬
der arm seam, and in rosettes at the
shoulders is effective.
Feather boas are soft and pretty,
but have your boa made of gauze. It
is an elegant novelty and is both an
ornament and a protection.
A new shape iu hats is the “Mar¬
jorie.” It turns down slightly in the
back and to a point in front. It is be¬
coming as well as comfortable.
Bows are set on the shoulders quite
irrespective of other trimmings, and a
large bow on the front of a waist some¬
times extends from arm to arm.
A tomato-red silk waist is a jiretty
addition to make to one’s wardrobe at
this season. Diagonal bands of black
guipure insertion make an effective
trimming.
The newest waistcoats for wearing
with open coats are made of brown
Holland thickly embroidered down
the front with fawn-color and white
flax threads.

about five inches apart, and drawn to¬
gether at intervals of

If your Dlftck silk is to he ’iPTTpW^
scribed skirt, crush belt and coat
basque, you will need eighteen yards.
This reminds us of the time when that
was the invariable pattern.
A belt requiring less ribbon is started
at the left of the front, extends around
the waist, and after crossing the end
is drawn up and finished with a bow or
rosette over the right side of the bust.
The yoke effect is made by bows
of ribbon softly folded, reaching from
the neck and shoulder seams to the
bust and finished with rosettes. Front
and back are to be trimmed in the
same manner.
Plumage decorated with jet is fash¬
ionable in quills and wings where the
outlines are marked with a jot frosting
or the celluloid spangles eovjr the
center, one-half of the entire face of
the ornament.
A very effective way of using ribbon
is that of bows on the shoulder, con¬
sisting of two loops rather long, and
two ends that are caught up under the
jjuff of the sleeve, one in the back and
one in the front.
Velvet is being made up as a trim¬
ming in such quantities as to warrant
the belief that it is an advanced fall
style. And there is nothing prettier
or more becoming in the -whole cate¬
gory of trimmings.
The rage for tulle for cravats and
jabots is extensive, and the colors are
most brilliant, for instance, yellow¬
ish green, bright red and orange yel¬
low. If the gown is of a neutral
color and the hat is trimmed to har¬
monize, the effect is good.
Black ribbon, satin and moire, is
used a great deal on all gowns. Even
very light colored crepona, ginghams
and percales have belts, bowsandends
of black ribbon. The contrast if,
while striking from its noveltv, very
e g ec tfve, particularly * on wash gowns,
The hats grow more fanciful as the
season advances. This is all right
for the youngsters, but for their
elders it readers it difficult to make a
becoming choice. There are very
few innovations in the styles at pres

costumes, wraps, fancy jackets, three
quarter dress coats, redingotes,
combinations, millinery, etc. Plain,
changeable, shaded and a host of
“tancies will all have their day in
beautifying children, maidens and ma¬
trons.
A most dainty bodice is made ol
soft lettnee-greea peau de soie, and
transparent gauze. The plain closely
fitting bodice has a full high pleating
of gauze, falling like a bertha over
j the full puffed elbow sleeves finished
! with a ruffle of the gauze. Folded
pointed revers of the lettuce green
are fashioned with rosettes at the
waist. The cravat is of the gauze and
ia tied with two full bows.
The "Chopping Board."
Tin: high cutting of those North
western trees is not accomplished
by means of platforms such as are
( used in the red wood forests of Cali
j fornia. but by the use of a very in
| genious contrivance known as a
i ; spring or chopping board. It is a
slender board, about live feet long, of
tough vine maple, shod at the inner
end with a stout steel spur. This
end of the board is inserted in a doep
notch cut in the tree trunk. As the
chopper stand- on the support thus
afforded, his weight causes the spur
bu j d deonlv } into the
eZ , in«Lin*ilW , ,, , . \ ,
"fullers,”’as on two
choppers, or they are
called,have,by means of their boards,
attained what they consider a proper
height on a tree doomed for destruc
lion, they first chop a deep “under
cut” on the side that is to bo under
most when the tree is down. The
head fuller determines the exact po¬
sition in which the tree shall lie by
sighting from the centre of this un¬
dercut along his ax-helve, and so
exact is he in his calculation that he
is willing to drawn line on the ground
at right angles to the tree and to
guarantee that the prostrate trunk
shall cover its entire length. With
the direction of the falling decided
upon, and the undercut completed, a
long two-handled saw Is called into
requisition, and with the two brawny
fallers working it from their spring¬
boards on the side of the tree op¬
posite to that of the undercut, the
fate of the forest monarch is decided
within half an hour. If. yields up its
life with one grand, far-echoing
crash, and at once becomes the prey
of buekers, who saw it into thirty
feet lengths ien„cns, ■ barkers oaiivtis, hook-tenders nook tenuers,
rigging . Klingers, hand skidders and
teamsters, who, with teams of splen
did horses, aided by tackle of heavy
blocks and lengths of ‘wire cable,
drag it to the end of the skid-road.
Thus, in an inconceivably short space
of time, the mighty tree is being
hauled by relay after relay of cable
down the winding skid-road toward
the distant landing and the still more
distant mill that is to convert it int'
lumber.—[Harper’s Weekly.
An Interesting Monument.
Under the direction of the Boun¬
dary Survey Commission the old
marble monument which, since 1849,
has marked t he dividing line between
the United States and Mexico at tho
coast lifts been brought to the citj r to
be dressed up. For years that mon¬
ument lias been a point of interest,
and has been visited by thousands of
citizens and strangers. Each has ap¬
parently felt that no one would be¬
lieve he or she had been there if
some portion of the slab were not
carried away to bo offered in evi¬
dence on all occasions.
The result lias been that the mar¬
ble has been chipped and defaced
until its original form is almost lost.
It is because of all this that the^afe

tills time it will be proto*..<o<t oy a
fence of steel pickets. The inclosure
will be twelve feet square. Tlie pick¬
ets will be eight feet high, the tops
sharply pointed and leaning inward,
after the device of some rat traps.
So that while it might be possible for
an active person to climb in, it would
require a first-class acrobat to climb
out of those curving pickets. Be¬
sides this, a new law makes it a
penal offense to mutilate the monu¬
ments.
At Tia Juana a similar slab will be
erected on the old brick foundation
in National avenue, which has long
been a landmark there. The Tia Ju¬
ana monument will be of granite, in¬
stead of marble, and it will be in¬
closed with steel pickets, like the
one at the coast line.—[San Diego
