WHAT THeTsdIFOR GETS.
When a body is born into the
world the physician is present and
gets about $lO for officiating at the
important event. The editor her
alds ike advent of the stranger and
gets a cussing fur making a mistake
as to the sex or date or anival.
After awhile the child becomes a
man, the minister is called to per
form the ceremony, and wtuks off
wiln a $lO bill in his vest pocket
for his trouble. Tne edror is again
called on lo chronicle this event by
drawing on hiaimaginxtion to make
the bride and groom the best and
most respectable people in the coun
try. His only pay is to be asked
for a few extra copies of his paper
to end to some absent friends, aud
verv often not even that.
In time the once baby, the once
happy groom, hut now a man well
a iv.tiiced in years, is brought down
ov death Again the physician *s
call (i in ami makes his biil, the un
[dsriaker is present and officiates at
j the funeral, and in turn warns one
i hundred dollars lor performing the
last sad riles, while the editor is
expected to complete the diaina by
holding up the deceased as a model
gentleman, and one who at present
is dying up the. g ddea stairs. The
probabilities are ;sl the same time

The Americans are beginning
io work up more and more of their
cotton at home. At closr of June,
1892, there wore 293 cotton spill
ing mills at work in Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkan
sas, Tennessee, Missouri and Ken
tucky. These mills possessed be
tween them 1,938,5245pind1es and
40,608 looms. At the close ol June,
1891, the corresponding number of
mills was 283, having between
them 1,756,04:7
looms. At the close of I une, 1890,
the corresponding nunfoer of mills
was 271, having between them
1,624,335 spindles and 36,524
looms.
At the close of June, 1889, the
number of mills was 259, having
between them 1,344,57Cn spindles
and 31,435 looms. At the close of
June, 1888, the corresponding
number of mills was 235, having
between them 1,777,90 k spindles
and 27,556 looms. Carrying the
comparison back still further, viz.,
to June, 1880, we find that the
number of mills was then 164,
having between them 544,566 spin
dles and 12,229 looms. It thus
appears that the number of mills
has nearly doubled during the last
twelve years, while the number of
spindles has multiplied considera
bly more than three-fold.
The consumption of cotton in
American cotton mills has made a
corresponding advance during the
twelve years. In 1801-2 this con
sumption amounted to 681,471
bales; in 1890-1, to 605,916- bales;
in 1889-90 to 549,478 bales; in
1888-9, to 486,603 bales; in 1887-8,
to 443,373 bales, and in 1879-80,
to 183,748 bales. The extreme
cheapness of cotton and the neces
sity which American cotton plant
ers experience of finding new out
lets for their production are, of
course, calculated to still further
develop the growing cotton manu
facturing industry of the Boutnern
States.
In June this year North Caro
lina had no fewer than 112 cotton
mills, South Carolina 47, Georgia
57, Alabama 20 and Tennessee 22.
There were aisfl 12 mills in Vir
ginia, but Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas, i
tween tnem. To”*~ estimate still
further the importance attained by
American cotton spinning, wo
must compare the home consump
tion of cotton in the United States
with tlie aggregate production,
The crop of 1891-2 amounted to
9,038,70 7 bales, of which 681,471
bales were worked uj>at home, or
about 7 1-2 per cent, of the whole
production.
In 1879-30 the American cotton
crop amounted to 5,757,397 bales,
of which 188,748 baies were worked
up at home, or a little more .nan 3
per cent, oi the wnoie production.
It follows that the home consump
tion has gained on the aggregate
production during the last twelve
years to the extent of about 4 per
cent. The growth of cotton in
the United States has made an ex
traordinary advance during the
last fifty years.
In 1840-1 the crop amounted to
1,639,353 bales; in 1850-1, to 2,415,-
257 baies; in 1860-1, to 3,826,086
bales; in 1870-1, to 4,352,317 baies;
in 1880-1, to 6,589,329 bales, and
in 1890-1, to 8,855,518. It was
thought by some observers that
the abolition of slavery would be
the ruin of the American 'cotton
interest, but the figures which we
have just cited show that predic
tions of this kind have been alto
gether falsified by actual experi
ence. —“Engineering. ”
Her Choice.
“What do you like me in the best?”
He questioned her chat ni;ht.
As near the smoldering fire they sat
Aud watched its flickering lig-ht,
“I think I like you best,” she said.
And tossed aside h r h tir,
“In —let me think—Oh, yes, I know,
That business suit you wear.”
“And why,” he questioned tenderly.
His eyes bent on her face,
Where now and then a truant blush
Would leave its tell-taie trace.
“Because,” she answered with a sigh,
Her eyes now turn i away,
“When you have on your business suit
You are so far away.”
