An dorra is believed to be tho only civil ized statu in the world in which not a single newspaper is published. An dorra is a little ropublio—about thir ty-six miles long by thirty broad— situated on the north side of tho Pyr enees, next the Spanish province of Lerlda and the French department of Ariege. It is nominally undor tho protection of Franoe, but its 14,000 inhabitants speak tho Spanish lan gunge. Hero, then, is an opportunity for an enterprising journalist. He need not be afraid of duels, for, though firearms aro plentiful enough, it is said that there is not a singlo in habitant who could hit a cow nt a hundred yards. Spurgeon on Smoking. Most of the stoiios about the lato Mr. Spurgeon have been told, but here is one which appears in Mr. Ad derly’s magazine, Goodwill, which may be new to many: “Many yoars ago I met the late Mr. Spurgoon, who was a great smoker, at the supper table of a friend. Over our pipos ho said: ‘Ouoe a piouB lady took mo to task about my smoking, and said: ‘Do yon read anything in the Biblo about smoking?’ ‘No,’ I answered, ‘but wo do read of the people passing through the Valley of Baca.’’—(Ps. Ixxxiv, 6, Bible version .)”’—New York Post Moriarty. “It is strange,” said a well informed Irishman, saying “how most people insist on ‘Moriarity,’ giving tho word five ayllables. I venture to say that no man on earth is named Moriarity, with that extra ‘i.’ Tho right name is Moriarty, with only one ‘i.’ The mis¬ take originates from Billy Emerson’s famous song about the Irish police¬ man, ‘Are You There, Moriarity?’ The writer of the song needed an extra the syllable rhyme, in the and main he lino put to bring ‘i’ in out the nu name to give the singer a chance to Dispatch. $ay ‘Mori-ar-i-teo. ’ ”— St. Louis Post- Accept None of the Pretended Substitutes for Royal Baking Powder IS ECAUSE preparations so much lower inferior are than bought and Royal, cheaper at wholesale some made grocers at baking a price are urging consumers to use them in place of the Royal at the same retailprite. If you desire to try any or the pretended substitutes for Royal Baking Powder bear in mind that they are all made from cheaper and inferior ingredients, and are not so great in leavening strength nor of equal money value. Pay the price of the Royal Baking Powder for the Royal only. It is still more important, however, that Royal Baking Powder is purer and more wholesome, and makes better, finer, and more healthful food than any other baking powder or preparation. ROYAL BAKI NG POWDER CO.. 106 WALL ST., NEW-YORK. PRO«l •r thb sotnw. What a German Paper Says ot ©nr Recuperation. man periodical published in New y ork It has given much attention to the south and has frequently mo*st expressed the opinion that this is the inviting section of the country. In its last is sue this paper publishes statistics showing the remarkable development of the Bouth. The population of the states that composed the Southern Confederacy— namely Virginia (including West Vir ginia), North Carolina, South Caro lina Georgia, Florida Alabama, Mis sissippi, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessae Arkansas—amountedin 1850 to 9,103,- 329. In 1890 it had grown to to 16,- 499 74(>’ 069. Here is an increase of 7,365, or, say 80 per cent. In the same period tho population of the North Atlantic division, including Now York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, increas ed only 64 per cent. This happened in spite of the enormous waste of life in the south during the war and the largo immigration from the Confeder ate states immediately following the war. In 1860 the taxable real estate in tho eleven states named was valued at $1,854,913,940. In 1870 this had shrunk to $1,241,746,068, when re duced to » gold valuation, a reduction necessary in order to compare it with 1860 or 1890. This showed a shrink ago of $613,167,075, due to the rav ageB of war, in the destruction of buildings, fences and the depredation of the land. If this lose seems too small we have first to remember that the taxed real estate was much than the total of this kind of property and that the census was taken five years after the war closed, during which time the of tho defunct Confederacy had been making strenu- | ous exertions to repair their broken fortunes, though their efforts were largely counteracted by the carpet bag governments that had been set up over them. Now in 1890 the value of j taxed real estate in this section has rison from $1,241,746,068 in 1870 to $2,268,790,618. Tho assessed valuation of personal property, liable to taxation, in the states that seceded was$2,478,844,459. This included 3,521,110 slaves. The Emigrant estimates the assessed value of those at $1,551,344,351, or $470 per head. This seems rather high, but the deductions are not essentially af feeted by this. In 1870 this property was all gone, and the total assessed value of personal property was re- j ' duoed to $490,060,246. In 1890 the figures had risen to $1,243,040,448. In othor words, tho increase of the as- i sessment of personal property liable j to taxation between 1870 and 1890 was about 160 per cent. The increase has not been sufficient to cover the loss of the slaves, but in all other respeots it has been very great. When we note the decrease of personal property as sessed between 1860 and 1870 was about four-fifths of the assessment of 1890, tho progress since 1870 is shown to be phenomenal. We must note also that the increase in the assessment of real estate since 1870 has been nearly equal to the loss in personal property sinee 1860. While most of the states that seceded have a smaller assessment of personal property than in 1860 (including slaves), thore is one notable exception, The assessment of personal property in Texas rose from $155,816,322 in 1860 to $257,005,507 in 1890. Every one of these states increased its as sessment of personalty between 1880 and 1890, some of them 200 or 300 per cent., and Texas more than 500 per cent. In no other part of the world has such a record of recuperation and progress been made, and yet the sonth has just begun to develop her immense resources. SAYS IT IS 15U0BEAR MOVEMENT OF MILLS SOUTH¬ WARD DEPRECATED. _____ .. - Massachusetts Spinners. At the statehouse at Boston, Mass., , Tuesday morning the legislative com mittee on mercantile affairs continued its investigation into the causes of re moval to other states of textile corpo rations. The committee heard a dll' ferent story cf the condition of manu facturers and employes in Massachu ! setts from that given at the previous session of the inquiry. The competi tion of the south was stamped as a bugbear by ex-Sonator Robert How ard, of Fall River, who appeared as the representative of the Fall River Cotton Howard^: Mill Spinners’-p j.’tsiiui.m t*Lf‘ ! lyf f r-sch ‘‘ UM tvmt.vnUe the past few months that the comparatively few manufacturers who are contemplating the building of mills in the south have spared no pains to obtain the widest publicity for their views on tho so called ‘southern movement.’ The bug bear of southern competition has been , running in the of the people ears throughout the length and breadth of the New England states, and Massa chusetts particularly. It seems to me that those who are doing the most talking possess more of a theoretical than a practical knowledge of cotton manufacturing. The majority of the manufacturers of Massachusetts de pend more for success upon skilled operatives and climatic conditions in the line of goods they are engaged in than proximity to the cotton fields. “.Short hours are not driving the cottou trade away from Massachusetts, for no state in the country has made such wonderful progress in cotton manufacture as this state since 1874, when the hours of labor were reduced to ten hours daily. Carroll D. Wright says that Massachusetts made a gain in spindles between 1870 and 1880 of 1,517,236, and 30,741 looms. “If the cotton trado is leaving Mas sachusetts, as some persons wish to impress upon the committee, how can you account for the groat increase in spindles and looms? In 1880 there were 4,236,084 spindles in tho state, The latest returns show 7,160,480, or an increase of 2,834,396 in the past fourteen years. Fall River, at the passage of the ten-hour law, in 1874, had in its factories 1,258,508, and it has now about 2,700,000. New Eng land has 70 per cent, of the spindles of the oountry. “The south today has 33 mills strip ped for sale in receivers’ hands. It ■ would bo difficult to find three idle cotton mills in Massachusetts. “As fast as skilled laborers get to the south you will hear the petition for just such labor legislation as the people of Massachusetts have sought during the past few years. There are but few using that bugbear of ‘south- j orn competition.’ It has been stated that raw cotton is taken by southern railroads as fifth-class freight, while northern railroads take it as only second or third-class freight. This statement iB erroneous, since cotton is not only shipped from the south to Massachu setts, and presumably to all New Eng land as fifth-class, but it can be re shipped from one point to another in New England in carload lots as fifth class freight. Something has also been said about coal. The two states which are recognized as the most progressive in the south are the Carolinas. Invest igation has 'shown that the Carolinas are ns far from the coal fields as the manufacturers of Massachusetts, and, what is more, the facilities for its' transportation are greater here, since we aro not dependent merely on the steam railroads, but we have the sea board, “Now, the mills in the so-called Piedmont district in the south are situated iu a cotton belt in which is raised cotton suitable only for coarse goods and yarns, and unfit for the product of the average Massachusetts mills. I think statictics show that Massachusetts has, in reality, little to fear from the competition of the south.” “I believe that every step that is taken in the interests of the employe to lighten his burden will return some thing to the manufacturer and the state. Massachusetts manu facturers have always in the past, and will be in the future, com petent, owing to the skill and intelli gence of their own against all compet itors. In proof of this, since the passage of the ten-hour law we have seen great factories built, large fort unes made and rich families multiplied. I believe that today Massachusetts is raising a class of mechanics who are destined to become a source of strength to and the prop and mainstay of our American republic.” TWENTY-FIVE REPORTED DEAD.

FOUR HUNDRED BELOW ZERO, Curious Effect of Such Temperature on Iron and Colors. Four hundred and twenty-four de greea Fahrenheit below zero! Just what this means it is almost impossi S?

Four hundred de grees below zero is not an every day temperature nor can it be reached by mere every-day means than the expan sion of liquid air, which latter Prof. Dewar has succeeded in producing in comparatively large quantities, and in storing by novel and ingenious methods, to be used as required in the study of matter at abnormally low tern perature, exactly as a spirit lamp or a Bunsen burner is used in studying prorjejte-a’ opened , "T Have ~~± ___ he strength of iron at 400 degrees below ze ro is just twice what it is at 60 degrees above.

It was an idea of Faraday that the magnetism in a permanent magnet would be increased at very low temperatures, and experi ments with comparatively low tempe ratures had rather negatived Faraday’s suggestions, but Prof. Dewar has corn pletely verified the opinion of the fa mous savant, having shown that a magnet at the extremely low tempera ture made possible by the liquid air had its power increased by about 50 per cent. Very low temperature was shown also to have a remarkable effect upon the oolor of many bodies. For example, the brilliant scarlet of ver million and mercuric iodide is reduced under its influence to a pale orange, the original color returning with the rise of the temperature.

It is the floating home of Richard Smith, a maiine hermit, who believes that he is to be a second Noah. He predicts that San Francisco and Oakland will sink into the sea because of their wickedness, and then a few of the select will come to him and b« saved from death on his rudderless craft. He believes that he has been inspired to live in the water to avoid the destruction, and he is awaiting to preserve the chosen of the Order of the Messiah.
