Variety at Ways.
go ar.d look at your long,
slender bamboo fishing pole and try
to fanoy what a house would look
like built of that sort of thi&g. Yet
when a Chinaman wishes to build a
houee he doesn’t hire an arohiteot
and look up a oontractor and turn
gray over plumbers and decorators.
H ■ just merely goes and plants a few
bamboo roots. Then ho goes on quiet
ly al tending to his business and lots
them grow. In a few months he has
a fine forest of bamboo from 40 to 80
feet high and with stalks ranging
from half an inch to 18 inches in di
al ”t Ho digs a trench tho shape
a.■ I iiizo h ■ w ishes his house and
pro ids to cut tho trees he thinks
t. proper • ize and sets them up in
lii tre ich, which ho then tills up.
\\ o tho s. • rider er stalks ho makes
ridk rs and shingles it with bamboo
le.’.vs. The windows are delicate
1;; work of bamboo, and tho fur
niture is of slender bamboo, bent
and curled and plaited. His water
bu< ket, is a good big stalk sawed off
je. t below the joint and made as
deop as ho needs above it
For a bottle ho takes a slender
piece d treats it in tho same way.
If in the confusion of building ho
nr lays his knife, ho just takes 8
good sharp edge of bamboo and does
jest as well for everything, except
ci ; lin vbainhoo,asif it were Sheffield
st <l. While ho is building ho keeps
oh the Jiangs of hunger by cutting
tho little tender shoots just as they
peep from tho ground and cooking
thepi Hko asparagus. Os course we
all know how dangerous it is to move
at onoo into a now house, it is so
likely to be damp, and so Mr. Sin
Foo catches a severe cold. All ho
does is to run out to his bamboo
thicket, gather a few leaves, boil
them and drink tho tea. In a day
or so he is all right and ready to en
joy the delicious dinner Mrs. Sin Foo
b ;s prejiared in honor of the “roof
r 'ing. ” She has delicate boiled
1 . ■ Hioo shoots, bamboo grains baked
in a bamboo joint with honey and
bamboo shoots candied with sugar.

to sink the well. This gradually

When surk to its full length, they
I fasten another to the end of it and
' keep on twirling. This operation
they keep up until they strike gas
or oil, which comes gushing up
through the jieles. They use them
also for bringing brine to tho surface
from tho salt wells. And then just

Too Much Daylight.
Wh n tho traveler gets above the
s' ventieth > arallel, he must not ex
pect to find things as they were at
homo. Certainly Mme. d’Aunet did
not find them so at Hammerfest. In
tho one public house she had the
best suit of rooms—two rooms, each
about s feet square and so low that
she could touch the ceiling. She was
obhged to stoop in entering the door,
and if she wished to look out of the
window she had to take off her hat.
The windows had no curtains.
When the sun shines in that coun
try. the people make the most of it
But as at the time of the French la
dy's visit the sun was shining
throughout the 24 hours she found
the incessant glare a trouble and
hung the windows wi*b shawls and
cloaks to shut it out
Even with that Cipedient she
found it hard to get on with those
endless days. The strange experi
ence brought on a sort of illness.
Everything was topsy turvy. All her
ha :'its of life were thrown into inex
tricable confusion.
“I got up at noon,” she says. “I
dined at 12 o'clock at night 1 went
to walk at 2 in the morning. I knew
r ii’icr when to go to bed nor when
to rise, and sleep became almost out :
of tho questing. But fora watch and
a calendar at Hammerfest one might
ily act to be a fortnight ahead or I
’ < .nd ali the rest of tho world and
i. \vr su>peet the fact.”—Youth’s

A SEVERE WINTER
The Cause of Suffering and An
Increase of Diseases.
This winter has been the most
severe for many years. North,
South, East and West intense cold
and blizzards have prevailed. This
will surely cause a great increase
of sickness and death. Chronic
ca’arrh and consumption always
begins by catching cold. Thou
sands have started on the road to
ward a lifetime of misery from
chronic catarrh or a sure death
from consumption. It is not too
late yet to be saw.d .. ,i<l
to a life of health d activity.
Pe-ru-na will do it. It never 11,i >
to quickly cure chronic catar-n
less than two years old. Os course
Pe-ru-na cures thousands and
thousands of cases of chronic ca
tarrh that have run for many years,
but in cases that »re of mor? re
cent origin it cures quickly, c >r
tainly and permanently. Every
case of cold or cough that has re
sulted from the effects of our se
vere winter could now be cured in
a short time by Pe-ru-na. Not a
s’ngle o e need fail.
Ali those taking Pe-ru-na who
(b'-ire the advice of Dr. ll.t Iman
about their cases should write, giv
ing age, sex, disease and time of
sickness, and he will answer free.
A few weeks’ treatment now will
prevent years of suffering, and in
many cases death. Address The

Obituary.
The blood-cleansed soul of our
mother, Sarah We there Dickson,
was released Jan. 27, 189-5 from
the sorrows and joys, the p iius
and pleasures, and the trials and
triumphs of her earthly life which
began March 2, 1825, in Lincoln
county, N. C.
Her married life begai\‘ March
2, 1848 with Thomas W. Dickson,
in Floyd county, Ga., and together
they began their Christian life in
1849, by accepting Christ as their
Saviour. They were baptized by
Pastor Edwin Dyer and received
into the fellowship of Pisg*h
church. On removing to Chattoo
ga county in 1851, they united
with the Baptist church at Sum
merville.
On July 8,1883, the blood-bought
spirit of our father was removed
from earth to the “Home ox the
Soul” and we. who had been .so
faithfully taught, ;y a. o, tl.ar
"God has the i ghb t > r ngn,” w re
aule to under. ..ano -.C.y she co hl
in perfect suumissii>n say, “’lny
will bo done.”
For years she suffered much
physical pain, yet in thi''-—as well
as in sorrow and bereavement, we
never heard her expr -s a d< übt of
the goodness and mi rcy of G d.
And in her Bible, whicli has for a
long time been her daily compan
ion, may 7 be found the marked pas
s. g‘s which gave her consolation,
spiritual strength and victory.
Her faith in Christ as the only
way of salvation was firmly fixed,
and while she sometimes spoke of
her own imperfections, she was
doubly 7 sure of her complete secur
ity in the power and infinite per
fection of “The One Mighty to
Save.” So wo were prepared to
see her meet Death so calmly, so
fearlessly, for to her, Death was
but the gateway to glorious life,
the threslmld to endless bliss IL r
last hours were tranquil, peaceful,
restful.

WHY COTTON IS CHEAP.
Report of the Senate Investigat
ing Committee.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 23. —
During the Fifty-second Congress
the Senate Committee on Agricul
ture and Forestry was authorized
by the Senate to make inquiry
upon the existing depression in
farm products, and Senators
George, Bate and Proctor were se
lected as a subcommittee to taka
in hand the portion of the inquiry
•oncerning the depressed price of
cotton, and testimony taken was
ti-day reported to the Senate
oy Senator George. To ascertain
Cue financial condition of produ
cers of cotton the committee ad
dressed a circular containing in
quiries to a large number of plan
ters and merchants in each of the
cotton States. The replies demon
s'rate that with tho price prevail
ing in the years 1891, 1892 and
1893 in nearly every part of the
cotton producing region the cost
of producti n is equaled, if it did
not exceed, the value of the cotton
raised, a condition that applied
even to the small farmers, who
raised their crops by T their own la
bors, and the conditions having
grown worse instead of better
since. The committee concludes
that while there Is no destitution,
there is little accumulation, and
that energy and enterprise fail un
der present adverse conditions to
make that steady 7 and sure progress
to winch, until now, the people
have been accustomed. The result
has been to produce widespread
discontent among cotton produc
ers, and a disposition to discredit
their conservative methods and to
induce a too ready acceptance of
plausible theories for relief.
While the committee concludes
that the ‘obvious, apparent and
proximate cuusj” of these low
prices is overproduction, the report
goes into the matter extensively
to prove that there has been, in
the case of cotton, at least, no real
overproductior, but there has not
been an “increasing demand,'
equaling the i icreasing supply.”
After brie ly r discussing what
the commit'?o deem the depress
ing effect of a high tariff policy
upon the production sis cotton, l.hG
maiter of “futures” is taken up,
and “gambling” in prices unre
servedly condemned as contribu
ting to the low prices. The com
mittee, in arguing the right of the
Federal Government to legislate
on the subject, declars the business
of “dealing in futures” in cotton
can only 7 be transacted in the two
exchanges of New York and New
oneans, and that the latter is
merely an annex to the former.
lhe committee concludes that
the dealings of these exchanges in
terfere with the interstate com
merce and the power of Congress
should be used to abolish them.
“In that view,” it declares, “it is
lhe manifest inteiest ot the coun
try that all arrangements, customs
of trade, which artificially depress
the price of cotton should b<-
abolished.”
It is declared in conclusion that
“dealings in futures” generally de
press the price to a considerable
extent and that Congress not only
has the power to abolish them, but
it is in duty bound to do so.
One-half of the report is devoted
to what, to quote the language of
the report, “we now consider that
cause for the low grice of cotton
which we denm the most potent —
the demon* tization of silver.” It
is d/L.xvd that production is suf
fering from extreme low prices,
the result of the appreciation of
gold. ,
mmit .■ ty, as there ap

.■ er. at rmr -:y n ded to raise

on to -uc. stci rraiii palliations

ton raisers to keep their m Ley at
home by raising their own supplies
and diversifying their crops and
invest the money now spent for
these in .'reefing cotton factories
and other factories, which, they
say, can be made successful in the
cotton states.

SOUTHERN IMMIGRATION.
The South on the Eve of an Ex
tensive Movement.
Certain southern publications
are devoting much attention to
the evidences of what they 7 regard
as the development of an unprece
dented movement of immigration
southward. The Southern States
Magazine has secured letters from
a number of railroad officials re
porting the movement of colonists
from western and northwestern
states to Tennessee, Georgia, Louis
iana, Florida, Alabama and other
portions of the south. The Queen
and Crescent officials report that
they had more northern inquiry 7
about southern homes and indus
tries in 1891 than in the thirteen
years preceding. The Southern
Pacific, Atlantic Coast line, Chesa
peake and Ohio and other compa
nies report large numbers of Scan
dinavians and others from the
north and west settling on agricul
tural lands in the southern states.
The conclusion drawn from these
reports is tha the south is on the
eve of such an immigration move
ment as it has never seen before.
It is quite supposable that the
business derangements of the, past
two years have caused some changes
in the distribution of population.
The Journal of Commerce says:
Growth of industries and profita
ble conditions of employment have
been chocked in many localities
previously of steady growth, and
the people of whole regions of
country have found new difficulty
in providing the necessaries of life.
Localities that can really offer a
better return from a given amount
of field labor, or of energy 7 of any
kind, will natur dly attract settlers
who have ii better times been able
and content to live in places less
richly endowed by nature, though
perhaps otherwise more attractive
or congenial. The Scandinavian
and other immigrants who have
sought our northern states as more
closely resembling the con (lit iw
of climate to which they have been
accustomed in their native Linds,
may to some extent be d awn to
more southern cB-.ms by the re
ports of better opportunities.
The southwest movement of
manufacturing establishments and
the development of mineral re
sources will naturally attract a
class of immigrants who have
heretofore had little reason to hope
for profitable employment in the
southern states, and in so far as
the industrial progress of the south
is genuine and substantial and
presents conditions similar to
those which have attracted immi
gration to the west throughout the
period of its development, the
southern states may 7 be reasonably
expected to attract a larger share
of the immigrants direct from Eu
rope and. of those who have found
the struggle too hard for them in
more northern climes.
Owing to the homogenity of its
productions tho south appears on
the whole to have suffered loss
acutely from the long strain of
business derangement and depres
sion than other portions of the
country, and this is favorable to
immigration. On the other hand,
the immigration from Europe for
the past year has been but little
more than half as large as for that
preceding and much the smallest
in a dozen years, and with little
prospect of increase until there is
a pronounced revival of business
and general prosperity. With this
revival the geographical distribu
tion of a new tide of immigration
may 7 prove to be a matter of some
importance. If the south has by
a con
siderable niii.i >-r of th j’- who ale
now moving from m re northern
s ates tii.-.t it affords equ. lor su
p rior a ! .4.--,. it may easily

Eggs That Appeared to Be
Too Valuable to Part With.
A well-known magician is a wag,
and finds amusement in mystify
ing simple-minded folks. A cor
respondent of the Boston Tran
script, writing from Washington,
where the sleight-of-hand man
had been exhibiting his skill, tells
of his success in astonishing a
group of colored people.
The magician one morning went
down to the market. Washington
has one of the largest and finest
market-houses in the world, and
one of its most picturesque fea
tures is the row of comfortable ne
gro mammies with baskets of eggs
and vegetables, sitting outside the
4,.nklingr-litf in-4, ' hatting and
smoking.
The sleight-of-hand expert, who
had a friend with him, sauntered
up to one inky-! .luck old market
woman with a pipe in her mouth
and a beautiful array of fresh eggs
before her. ll■ looked at them
and asked the price.
“Twenty-thru • cents, honey,”
answered mammy, “an’ dese heah
is fust-rate egg? —de hen ain’t
hardly done cluckin’ ober ’emyit.’’
“I should think- so,” said he, and
as he picked up one and cracked
it out came a q i irter.
Mammp’s jae. dropped, and the
pipe with it.
“And this on • —and this one
seems pretty g ■ > 1,” carelessly re
marked the mm, cracking two
more, out of ~ hi -h fifty-cent pieces

HOLDING-IT BACK.
Receiver Stablman Failed to Give
Much Taxable Property.
Atlanta, Feb. 25.—1 t developed
today that E. B. Stahlman, as re
ceiver for old Western and Atlan
tic lessee, has failed to return half
a million of property of various
kinds to the city or county for tax
ation. The city and county will
proceed to collect back taxes and
expect to get about $20,000. The
discovery grew out of Julius
Brown’s effort to get a fifty thou
sand dollar fee for collecting the
money. lie had count}’ attorney
Rosser among others to swear what
would be the proper compensation
for his services. Rosser looked
into the case and was surprised to
find how much had boon hid out.
Dairying in Georgia,
The following extracts from a
letter from M. L. Duggan, Secre
tary of the Georgia Dairymen's
Association, will be of interest to
all progressive and intelligent
farmers, and may be the m- ans of
stirring up interest in the dairy
business in this section.
“At present dairying in Georgia
is mostly confined to private en
terprise, there being as yet only a
few public creameries in the state.
It has however been fully demon
strated that all the conditions are
exceptionally favorable for suc
cessful dairying.
Native grasses are abundant,
and in many sections of the state
Bermuda grass—the best of all
grasses—yields abundant and rich
grazing for more than half the
year, and the best, of hay. The
clovers, Lucerne, ~Blu^ w jmi.. and
various others, do well when proper
attention is given to them.
Corn and peas and sorghum may
be raised in great abundance on
every farm. Rye, Barley, etc, will
furnish good grazing winter
months, and give the butter fine
color. Clear running water is
plentiful everywhere. No drouth
over effects a plentiful supply for
stock.
Climatic and other conditions,
are exceedingly favorable to poul
try raising—one of the most profit
able side linos for the dairyman,
end there is always a good market
for poultry and eggs. Winters are
short and not severe. Cattle do
not necessarily have to be housed
on account of the cold more than
a few days ordinarily in winter,
and then only in inexpensive
houses. Good dairy cows can be
bought cheap. There is always a
good demand for good butter at
fair prices, and the coming of the
New England millswill largely in
crease the demand for dairy and
farm products.”
There is little prospect that the
price of cotton will advance soon,
and it behooves the farmers of this
section, which is especially adapt
ed the dairy business, to investi
gate this question carefully, and
see if it will not pay much better
than the old style of farming.
Thousands and thousands of dol
lars are sent out of Georgia every
year for butter and cheese, every
pound of which could just as well
be made right here at home.
