quickly as, possible, but"it was tod:

The Strength of the South.
. The strength of the south, under
the ideas that are dominant now
at the beginning of the twentieth
century, lies in its extensive sea-
coast, its coal and iron mines, its
cotton production and its diversi
fied manufactories, • united with
the support of a thrifty, courage
ous and determined people.

Saturday afternoon. While de

and she remained in this condition
until Sunday evening. Drs. W.

one and the wonder is that it did
not produce instant death.

A Few Things to Learn.
'• f Some one has suggested ' a * fefr
things that every girl can learn
before she is 12. Not every one can
learn to sing or play or paint well
enough to give pleasure to her
friends, but the following “accom

body’a reach:
Shit the door, and shut it softly.
Keep your own room in tasteful
order.
Have an hour for rising, and

Never let a button stay off twen
ty-four bqurs.
Always know where your things
are.
Never let a day pass without do
ing something to make somebody
comfortable.
Learn to make bread as well as
cake.

Herbert Putnam says that libra

more rapidly than are librarians.
He directs attention to the fact
that whereas there are now about
eight thousand libraries in the
country, there are not more than
five or six hundred especially
trained librarians.
Geo. A, Fuller, who died in Chi
cago recently, is credited w r ith
bein^ the originator of the modern
office ‘sky-scraper.” When he first
announced that he would build a
steel frame-work twenty stories
high, and put in the walls after
wards, he was thought crazy, but
even a twenty-story building is
rather humble nowadays.
