8 T Conducted by Mrs. Win. King, 480 Courtland Ave., Atlanta, Ga. THE TWO SIDES OF IT. There was a girl who always f.li‘l Her fate was very hard; Fr-vn the one thing she wanted most She always was debarred. There always was a cloudy spot Somewhere within her sky; N -thing was ever just quite right. She used to say. and sigh. And yet her sister, strange to say. Whose lot was quite the same. r»un.l something pleasant for herself In every day that came. Os course, things tangled up sometime For just a little while: But nothing ever stayed all wrong. She used to say. and smile. So one girl sighed and one girl smiled Through all their lives together: It didn't come from luck or fate. From clear or cloudy weather. The reason lay within their hearts. And colored all outside; On. chose to h-»l»e. and one to mope And so they smiled and sighed. —PRISCILLA LEONARD. QUIET HOUR THOUGHTS. (Written for The Junior by Ellen Ham- • mond.l The study of human nature is an Inter esting one. albeit we become acquainted wish many facts that are unpleasant and evi n painful. For some time I have noted the deport m nt of quite a number of persons, chiefly y»ung people, toward the aged. And i while many are considerate and acre-- i ab’e in th.dr manners, showing those little ■ courtesies which are so <tear to the old. i I have note.] with pain that there is a ! marked tendency to overlook the comfort I and happiness of those who are descending ■ the hill of life, and to treat them as if they were of little or no consequence, but | !•-• me tell you. my dear young people, i that is a grave mistake. ft Is your duty to make the closing days ■ of earth's pilgrims as bright and pleasant e« possible. It takes but little effort to ! do this. The aged like to be noticed and made to feel that they are still needed • e"rt appreciated by their friends. Some j»eople seem to think that very aid * people do not care for expressions of love i and tender regard and believe the feel- ( ing* and affections weaken and wear out ’ I ■ correspondence with the physical pow er.-. Nothing Is farther from the truth. . Th.-v are quick to appreciate each loving v ord and thoughtful attention, and just i as quick to note the unkind or careless word. In the weary, bent frame the ! heart still swells to the sweet music of 1 -vc. the affections still twine around love I I one* anJ !■ ne for I«.ve in return. As a genera! thing the old And pleas- I tt”e in the presence of th* young. Their ; It ght fat «*s and youthful spirits recall happy days of one ago when they, too. v re youne and fret from -are. They | like tn be conversant With the plans for amusem. nt and work of the younger memtwTS «f their household, and are de- . lighted to be consulted about then:. The' are often able to give good ad- | vic. -rd *»ff.-r valuable suggestions along tr iny lines, and even If th—y can be of n » I real service, the pleasure to them Is ■ My gran iparrnta d < d l>efore I was largo r:m.ieh to know anything about them. »n*l »ne of my childish sorrows was the * realization that I should never know what * It was to have a dear old grandmother. , I f-.ar that I was sometimes envious of | my Tttle playmates whtn they told of having such good times when they went | to •■grandpa’s.” I have always had a J deep and fervent respect f-*r o’.d people «.:• I have found much pleasure in their * >’iety. and am always pain- d to see them treated lightly or flippantly. I not*ee that s-» many young people : fa’! to speak to tho old nt church or i other public places. I dislike to think | that the r negMgeticw 1« caused by in ti fl- r* . r«. mt -*f r* <;«*ct; but I irntf-I | rather think that the fault proceeds from j timidity or thoughtlessness. In some cas s , it Is the former, judging from what ‘ I have heard aoate nay, "uh. I would Kke to speak to that lady, but I ntn afraid i *’>«- does not rtm*mler me. an.! then I v uhi not know what to fay.” Roys and giris s.n>n crow out of the I know dge of the old and they fail to * r»- ;n z ev-*n their n* chb .-s' ch Idn-n nr -**■- they «»e them quite often, and ’t > Is the duty of all young people to speak * to them .«nd make them- Ives known possibly y.»u think they d*» not care ft r •uch attentions and will not notice the I orr.' sion. If you think thus, just try th-* i experiment the next pp .rtunity that you ; have and you will be made glad when • yon r* •* the dull eye brighten, th* wrink- , led f*ee radiated by feeling as your hand Is clasped in a fervent grasp. * thoughtless In their treatment of the old. ! tty ■ . . ■. r - m.* the f . . t ag s* ns ; r.l<l«; for you may 1»* old sometime, and. "with what measure you mete. It ,-i.all | b- m« asured unto you.” Bar* nts should Im- very careful to tea- h their children to respect tho aged and | net kindly toward them. If all were , brought up in this way. thcr* would not i |. so many wh-> f«a< th- tnseives a Kurd, n 1 and say that they "are old and only in tho way.” Many persons who have aged Inmates In their houses get out of pa ts. nee with them because they arc child ish er irrlteb-.'. To all such, I •• say. exercise charity, for they are weary ait i travel wont; they have borne th* burden and l.eat of the day, and have I fought many a fierce conflict. Such has left Its trace on wrinkle 1 brow and snowy locks. Affliction may have | wt akened both body and mind, «o every I li’tle k n<l:s.-ss shown them, every tender I r* «-urd for their welfare will help to I rinooth the p«li tlmt I« well nigh ended, j With them the gnal is almost reached; | the earthly house of this tabernacle Is ' r. aring dissolution; soon they will leave f 1., sojourn in the house of many man- ■ s. -ns.

This is a level country with skirts of timber along th- cr<eks and rivers, the rest being prairie. The prairies are very is-autiful now: they arc covere l with tho richest kind of grass and look like a. sea of green v. ater rolling before tlie wind.. Tlie asylum for tin* insane is I'xai- I her*.

The word "politeness" op ns to my girlish vis ion a field as wide as it Is varied. It Is sm clem nt of happirn ss within our hearts tiiat makes us strive to make oth ers happy. Dolitetu ss emanates only from a pur.-, unselfish heart, it consists in saeriti' ing our own wish s and plensurcs for tin- sole pun>ose of promoting the happai*-* e.f oil, : s and then iv ' i.hane ivg our own. I'olltenes.- Is the gdfi n key that unlocks the portals of soci- ty and snece? and is th.* eternal reflection of the noble heart which always .-’rives to sca’ter seeds of kindness along life’s pathway, knowing that in the e lining y, . (he Fe <l« Wt'l bloOßl !lil<l fie ! ft llil which will bring us untiring Joys. Po liteness .-hould.be taught In votiili and pra.-tieed all through life.

Lout <* Shaver. Borden. Texas—Dear Junior: This is my first attempt to write to tho Junior department. I am nine years old; am a little Texas girl. Wo have a pretty h"ine in tlie country. There Is a nice little creek in front of our homo; there are some fish in it and pretty ferns prow among the rocks. We live c’ose to tho place wh re Gall Borden used to live, and . ..nd ns. d milk was inv-nted by him her. . lie once owned a b • f fac tory here too. My j.ipa is a f irmer and also keeps a little country store; he raises corn, cot ten. waterm.’lons. etc. We also have flowers and a good garden. I am in t’’.. third grade but only went t • ■ ■ ■ ni ' 1 n ■ 11. My Grandma Shaver is here on n visit; w<- arc so glad to have her with us. She is marly elgilty-one years old. and is one ot the best and dearest grand mas tn tho World. I have a little brother seven years old: his name is Grady for H.-nrv Gradv. I send five cents for Grady JlospEal. Retry. Sharp. Ala. —Dear Junior: Tlie Constitution is a weekly visitor at our home and indeed it is always welcome. I always turn first to the Junior page th<n to Bill Arp's and Plunkett's letters. What a good woman Aunt Susie must lie. Her heart to h< art talks .are so comfort ing to us .a l. Her Inst talk was simply lovely. I lead a lonely life and read a great deal, i ii- beat novel I have tv-r read is "Under Two Flags." 1 do not think there is anv harm in rending good nov. B. On the other hand I think it both inter esting and instructive. I am now read ing "Ten Years of a Preacher's Life,” and think it good. It Is tho dime love stories that dwarf the mind. I think a mother should place good books in the hands of her children, lint many sit idly by and let their children borrow and read ev.-ry trashy love story they may see. 1 think every parent would do well to g<-t a copy of "Amy Herbert" and let their children rend It. I lost a sister last winter; the only nister 1 had and I know how tn sympa thize with Aunt Susie In her bereave ment. She was all the world to me. but God does all things well ami I trust she is better off. Aunt Susie, I guesa you to be fifty nine years of ago. Am I, too, cold as lee? I incioso five cents for the Grady Hos- pital with best wishes for that noble institution. I would Hko a few corres pondents from California and Florida. Mildred Ethridge, Montgomery, La.— Dear Junior; As I have seen so many nice letters from the cousins I thought I would join them. We take The Constitu tion and think it a splendid paper. I know Aunt Susie Is a dear, good woman and has so much patience to r< ad so many letters of different handwriting every week and we should try to have our let ters as neat as possible to save her from -o much trouble. 1 am n link- girl thir t.cii years old. 1 visited Atlanta twice luring the exposition and had quite a nice time. I have a dear old grandmoth r living at Hogansville. Ga. 1 live about two miles from Ebenezer campground. We have canipnietting there every sum mer. it is quite a summer resort. 1 *im very fond ot reading and music. I have read several good books. 1 will guess Aunt tiusie's age. I guess her to be lif ty-nine. (Am I hot?) I would like to correspond with some ot tlie girls about my age. Minnie Leila Hogg, Hoggs, Ga.—Dear Junior: I have been trying a thing in our school that I never tried before—that is, helping to write a newspaper. Miss Alice Webb, our teacher, had the pupils to fix up a paper with siyne gene ral news, community news, school news, and March und April observation. 1 think it is a great tiling, 100. fl helps the pupils u gieat deal. How many of tin- children Know that tho author ot Frye's geography is the superintendent of the schools in Cuba? School will close tho Ib'.h of this month. We will have recitations and read compositions the last day. The fruit trees are full ot fruit in tinsection. 1 guess that will be much canning done this year. Some .Mor mon eld< rs passed through in re a i’< w wet ks ago. We live mar Kir.chafooneo erei-k. which was named by Indians. A few months ago a man camped mar the creek and set out a trap to catch beavers, lie said he was going t" :*ail down the creek to Flint, riser. My brother tod him that tlie creek .wasn't cleaned out well enough to go down, but the man .aid tiiat ho woual ent «he trees and iogs out. I don't know wiiat became ot him. The people around here thought lie was a revenue otlleer. I have been refin ing some Greek stories. They ar* very interesting. I am twelve years old, ami I am in interest in Milm- Stam'.nd I lnni Arithmetic. Aunt Susie, I wisli’v.-n could be In-re to S'“* the pretty woods, dressi <1 in their green dresses.

May 29.—(Special.)—An ex portation of forty million dollars’ worth of manufactures in thirty days is a record unparalelled for American manufacturers. Tiiat is the record for the month of April. 1900. The details of the April exporta tions, Just completed by the treasury bu reau of statistics, show that the exporta tion of manufactures during that month were by far the greatest of any month in our history and within a fraction of forty millions dollars. Tills gives assurance tiiat tlie exports of the fiscal year which ends with June will considerably exceed $40u,000,000 and be nearly three times as much as a decade ago. This phenomenal increase in exportation of manufactures is especially striking when compared with the progress made by European nations, our rivals In the attempt to supply the world's market with manufactured goods. Great Britain’s exports of manufac tures show but slight increase since 890, and an examination cf the export record of the principal European countries falls to disclose a.iy instance in which the in crease has been as much as 25 per cent, while that of the United States, mean while, has been more than 150 per cent. An examination of the detail* of our own exportation of manufactures shows that it is in tho production, manufacture and exportation of metals that we seem to excel. The history ot nations and peo ples siiows that great groups of people frequently excell in certain Industries, and the growth of our exportation, as well as our domestic production of manufac tures, seems to point to metals as our most successful line of work, especially at the present time. In 18S9 manufactures of metals formed less than 20 per cent ot our total expor tation of manufactures, and In 1900 will Ik* about 45 i>*r cent of our exports of manufactures. Tlie increase in exporta tion of metals and manufactures thereof In the decade of ISS9-ISHS was 339 per cent, while the increase in the exportation of all manufactures In that time was but 110 per cent, and the Increase in manufac ture* other than those of metal during tiiat time was but 55 per cent. In this statement of the exportation of manufactures of metal: , only those arti cles composed exclusively of metals are included; those made up in part of met als. such as railway cars, agricultural ma chinery, etc., being includ'd In the other manufactures. Tlie rapid increase in the exportation of manufactures of metals is shown by tlie fact tiiat the exports of br ss and nanufactures thereof in 1899 Were l ot $321,1117, and in 1900 will reach : sl,7‘iinstruments for scientific pur i pos-s Increased from $1,033,338 to $2,770,803, ' and in the year about to end will reach : m arly copper and its manufac ■ tures. which amounted In Ixß9 to $2.348,9;>4, i will be more than $50.*h.'0.000 In U"’"; iron and steel increased from $21,15*1.077, in 18S9, ! to $70,4i»>,885; in I*'.'B, while in the fiscal j year I?M>. It will exceed $100.000,(W. Go to European Countries.

Big rigtires in Metals. As already indicated, tne largest growth in our export of manufactures is in tho-e of metals. Tlie largest class of manu factures of metals exported is that ot iron and steel. in 18S0 the export of manufactures of iron and steel was $14,- 71'1,521 and in I'.iJO will exceed fIW.V'O.OOi), or more than seven times that of l.'Xti. In no feature of our export trade has tin ro be-.-n a more remarkable growth during the decade than in ra.ls for rail ways, especially those of steel. Tlie to tal exportation of iron rails in 18x9 wns but seven tons, and in 1898 2.7K9 tons, th* value rising from $240 in 18.89 to $37,150 j n 189 x In steel rails, however, th* growth was even more remarkable, tho nutnlxr of tons exported In 18'9 being 7,398, and in 1898, 229.783, while the value iru-rease.l from $235,387 in 1889 to $4.613,37« in IS9B and in the fiscal year 1960 seems likely to reach sß.«M>.(<>o. This increase has been especially marked during the past three years, the exports of steel rails in tho fiscal year IN'd being ♦540.797. (ho?* of 1897. $2.4'.’.2 f B. and those of 1898, $1,613.37f>, those of 1899. $5,298,125. while the first ten months of tho present fiscal year show a gain of about $2,000,000 over the corre | sponding months of last year. While ! this rapid increase is due to a generally increased demand, tne countries showing the most marked growth tn their pur chases of steel rails from the t’niied btatc-s are Russia, Canada and Japan.

Iffl Ws O=®'&ft®0 0 So many letters come to me of late ask ing about The Confederate Veteran that I am constrained to answer through the press. It is a monthly published in Nashville by Captain S. A. Cunningham. This reminds me to say that Sam Davis Is not the only hero of his kind. William M. Formby writes me from Lewisville, Ark., that there is in Little Rock the grave of David C. Dodd, who when only eighteen years of age was arrested near there as a spy and Important papers found on Ills person. General Steel was Ijl command of that post and offered him a pardon if he would disclose the names of tho.'p from whom he got the informa tion. Like Sam Davis, he refused and said he would die first and he did die. He wrote a letter to ills mother, who then lived in Atlanta. Cass county, Tex., tell ing her of ills untimely fate. My friend says lie has a copy of that letter and has seen the grave in Little Rock, which some friends have marked with a plain white shaft. I have written to him to send a copy of thi* letter to The A etcran and if possible a photogrnph of the mar ble shaft. Such loyalty and fidelity must be preserved and put on record. We are all demoralized at our house and home, for the maternal ancestor has gone off on a trip to Rome and will stay there, I reckon, until I write to her that Jessie cr her little children or some other mcmlier of the family Is sick. Then she will come on the first train. She has got kindred and friends over there, lots of them, and they will keep her until she goes the grand rounds, for she lived there twenty-seven years. She and I were among tlie pioneers of the Hill City. In fact, we are the only living persons who were living in Rome when we movel there fifty years ago. Just think of It and pond* r it. How surely and stealthily a population passes away. How Insidi ous is Time, the unrelenting old ras cal. Only fifty years, and not a man or woman left but my wife and I. There were then about 1,5*0 people In Rome anil now there are ten times that number. Every old settlor is dead save Colonel T. W. Alexander, and lie came three years after I did.

And then th- re was Old Jake Herndon and Big John, the Munchausens of th** town, who were ready to swear that when th* y first settled there away back in the tbirth s the Coosa river was a lit tle spring branch. Old Jake declared h* had seen a freshet that rose to the gum tree on courthouse hill, and the ther momet-r was 210 in the shade. He al ways sai l therrr*im-eter and accented the first syllable.

Old Jake believed his own lies. I heard him say once that when hog killing time came round he heated rocks on each side of his millpond an.l threw them In and drove the hogs through and they came out clean on the oth- r side. Big John kept th- only sa loon in town. A saloon was called a gro cery then and Big John's grocery was a landmark th*? loafing place—for he kept a comfortable bench on each side of the front .lour.

My venerable friend Major Ayer lives on Howard street, the reachtree of Rome.

But the sensation of the day Is about the negro. Like Banquo’s ghost, he will not down. Dr. IJlIy. the able secretary of the Stillman Institute for negroes, at Tuscaloosa, reports to the Presbyterian general assembly that no progress has been made in colored evangelization, and that Industrial training is a failure, and out of 1,243 negroes educated to mechan ical pursuits, only three are following the trades they have learned. He d- - clares that agriculture In the only call ing open to the negro and the only one that will keep him out of the cities and out of crime and the chaingagng. These are the results at Stillman’s and Booker Washington’s schools. We are glad to find one preacher who has got good hard sense concerning the negro and dares to speak It. Os course, we can’t stop Book er Washington from teaching, nor tho north from giving him money, but we can stop tlie Presbyterian church from wast ing our money on the negro. There are 4.o’*) in the prisons and chaingangs of Georgia now. to say nothing of those we have lynched, and most of them have been educated. Let them get to farming. That suits his better nature and will keep him out of crime. But the biggest sensation Is the sermon of Rev. Henry Frank, of the New York Metropolitan church, preached last Sun day. in which he declared that giving freedom to the negro has proved a disas trous failure. That he- is rapidly lapsing into barbarism and will soon become ex tinct. He speaks of him as a brutal beast, more dangerous in a community than a wild bull. He advises that a terri tory be set apart for them and there they must go again Into slavery and choose their masters, and in the meantime the franchise be taken from them. That out- Herods Herod.
