A round of the fates to-day I will make To Bee if there is in stor^for me a happy Down Railroad street I will go, [fate. From house to house, from door to door, Here’s Bateman’s gate—111 pass her by; The bait’s not out, so there’s no use to cry. She’ll not be bn the carpet for a year or more, So I’ll knock albng away from his door. Ault man to wait at his neighbor’s gate And wait for years and look to fate To see a babe into womanhood grow; To teach her to love him and then, get “no?” At the next, listen to my pleadings, Du-Pree; Put it not off till a more convenient day, For of all the places in this old town This is the last I’d like to be downed. The nex t on the line is the preacher’s gate, Bat os I’ve no desire for a holy mate, I’ll move on to seek other pleasures and joys And stop at the next in spite of the Hol- le-man boys. Here I’ll look for a nice, grassy spot, For this I believe fate has ordained as -my lot, And Buskin’ in the sunlight of her smiles I’ll stay Till the dogs are called to drive me away. As my Craw-fords no more sand for di gestion, I’ll turn right around in another direction. My heart in leaving, unsubdued, seems to say, Yo’ve miesed a chance you’ll regret till your dying day. Hardi(er)aons than X have tried of Vin- (i)son to partake, But to their discomfort found it harder than slate. So what’s the use for this “Bird” to try When others have tried it only to die? At this rate I see I’ll soon be a Walker, Already I have gained my“rep” as atalker. Bnt to persist against one without a sin gle hair, I’d take the risk of the children who were eaten by a bear. Ev-an so, as I thought in passing by, West is the direction for me to fly. Things look Mulkey* so Til pull up my stake, For Tumplin is coming, although he is late. The King is royally entertained By one who makes it his home in the main. It’s Bobby, and they say Eze-11— If I can jnst get by I’li think I did well. All’s fair in Warr-en love they say; Bnt “this” ain’t hankering after making it that way, As I am in a Peavy(ish) state of mind And that man from Walden is right on behind. I’ll hurry along with rapid stride And give up my chances at present for a bride, And into the “shack” myself I’ll take, There to weep and bemoan my sad fate. And now for Borne bashful youth I will state, Some future day on another street Til try my fate, And if things seem to come more-in my way, Then perhaps something more I’ll have to say. M. B.

The work of stream measure ments by the United States Geo logical Survey is an important el ement in building up the manu facturing industries of the Booth, more especially since it has been found practicable ,by electrical transmission to concentrate the power furnished by small streams, at a point suitable for a factory site. Capital, however, is slow to ventnre until it knows from nndis- pntable authority what the capaci ties of streams are, and that they are not liable to run dry or low. at the critical time when power may be most needed. Iu this way the stream measnrements of the gov ernment, covering a period of years, are extremely valuable, fur nishing an accurate basis npon which to estimate power. An ap propriation of $20,000 was secured early in the last session of con gress for the carrying on of this work up to July 1st, aud just prior to the adjournment an appropria tion of $100,000 was obtained, very largely through the vigorous ef forts and co-operation of southern represenatives and senators. ;>« : — ff. \ Forty four years ago Dr. Edgar M. Levy was chaplain of the repub lican national convention that met in Philadelphia and nominated Fremont for president. It is prob able that Dr. Levy is the chaplain of the convention that met in Phil adelphia Tuesday. The reverend gentleman is a Georgian by birth, having first seen the light at St. Mary’s, Ga., on Nov. 23,1822. To the Deaf. A rich lady, cured of her deaf ness and noises iu the head by Dr, Nicholson’s Artificial Ear Drums, gave $10,000 to his Institute, so that deaf people unable to procure the Ear Drams may have them free. Address No. 1474, The Nicholson Institute, 780 Eighth Avenue, New York! Cotton for Wool." New York Sun. Our consul at Edinburgh writes that the working women of Scot land and north England have re cently began to show a marked preference for woolen instead of cotton dress goods. In that cli mate wool may be comfortably worn the year round, bat cotton fabrics have always been popular and no one has satisfactorily ex plained why the taste of a majority of purchasers has turned to wool ens. Some merchants attribute the present preference to the fact that woolen goods may be worn long without washing while cotton dresses require frequent launder ing. Wholesale dealers ara at last wide awake to the fact that they cannot get rid of their cotton cloths, and there is a greatly en larged demand for coarse and cheap woolens. This episode in the British trade-may be merely the result of a temporary caprice, but it is the latest illustration of the fact that there is always rivalry among the four great textiles, cotton, wool, silk and linen and that the market (or oue affects that for the others. Over a year ago there was a rise iu the price of wuoleus in Great Britain and an advance in cotton was expected unless there was an unusually great product ADd a consequent glut in the mar ket. The predicted rise in cottons occurred last fall. Silk wasoncea lare manufacture iu Great Britain, but it has declin ed greatly in importance since the vast development of .woolen and cotton mills. Even this costly textile, which is worth $6 a pound as it comes from the cocoon, feels the effects of important changes in the production and prices of wool ami cotton. One of the causes assigned for the large decline in the flax industry of Ireland is the cotton invasion of the flax markets. The same rivalry and interde pendence is also observed among the textiles of lesser importance. We see to-day, for example, that jnte is not now so essential in the American market as it once was, for it has been largely replaced by Yucatan henneqain for bagging, cotton baling' and other purposes. But cotton- is still king of them all. British working women may favor the claims of its great rival, wool, as much as they please, but they cannot dethrone the glorious American product. Five times as much cotton is now consumed in clothing the 'world as was used iD the early part of the century, and itr progress is still steady and tri umphant. An Interesting Circumstance. James K.

It was an interesting coincidence that the very-day the Republicans of the House were putting forward their anti trust bluff the real Be- puolicau leaders were showing the party’s true position over-in the Senate. The spectacle of Senator Hanna and his able lieutenant, Senator Elkins, defending with all the vigor at tbeir coipmand the Arm >r-piate Trast, whose “hold up” of the Government has been so notorious as to call forth the protest of many honest Bebubli- cans, was a highly interesting ob ject Ipsson, which the people of the country will not forget. The absolute subservience of -this administration in all its for eign relatious to the wishes .of Great Britain was beantifullv il- lastrated iu that “triumph of di plomacy,” the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and iu the failtfr-e of this Government to speak even one word in behalf of the sturdy farm ers in South Africa straggling for their independence. It is the first time in the histo ry of this Government that the people of the United States have not been allowed to speak for free dom and independence which Americans have ever held to be the right of all people. The republicans will hear in this campaign of their refusal to allow the passage of the. bilk providing for the construction of an Ameri can trans-isthmian canal. This, bov/ever, is in direct line with the position of the administration on all -foreign questions. The repub licao party seems to be opposed to every principle of American gov ernment—to favor trusts as the surest means of raising campaign funds with which they expect to control elections, and to favor a large standing army as a means of compelling the people to submit to their parposes. The people are conservative. They will suffer great evils with out turning upon their oppressors Bat there is a limit to their endu rance and that point has, in my opinion, been reached. A great campaign fund, while it may de bauch the weak, will utterly fail to control the whole people. ' Revenue from the War Tax. Atlanta Constitution. Many inquiries have been made during the past few mouths cod cerning the amount of'revenue which has been raised by the gov ernment since the war tax went into effect two years ago. From official data which has re cently come to hand we are ena bled to furnish this information in part. Covering the period of time ex tending from June i3, 1898, to March 31, 1900, the amount of rev enue collected under the operation of the war tax aggregated $183, 405,292 or nearly $2.50 per capita. This large snm of money which the government has employed in meeting the obligations imposed npon it by recent hostilities has been derived from the following sources: Documentary stamps, $1 781,776; fermented liquors, $5 936,631; tobacco, $27,070,113; pro prietary stamps, $8,693,881; bank ing establishments, $6,066,155; ci gars, $5,202,691, aud cigarettes, $1,631,281. While the war tax has not rest ed heavily upon individual taxpay ers, the amount of revenue collect ed under the operations shows the enormous resources of the nation. Two years ago Louis Patnaud resigned his position as assistant postmaster at Everett, Wash*, to try his fortune in the Klondike. Three of his friends made np $400 as a “grubstake” for him. No word came from the recipient uuHl he returned to .Everett a week ago, when he divided $11,000 among the three friends who had helped him.

HOLSENBECK & WRIGHT, —DEALEBS IN— Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they can- not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafuess, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustach ian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result,and unless the inflammation can be taken ont and this tube re stored to its normal condition,hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca tarrh, which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the -m neons surfaces.
