In concluding an editoria inspired by a , Southern girl's regret that she cannot go to col lege, Edward Bok, in the April Ladies' Home Journal, has this to say of the girls of the South lana : " i ne boutnern gin is surrounded by a life far truer and more conducive to self-de veiopnient tnan gins living in other sections, because social conditions ' ar.e more normal Her life is healthier because it is saner, and her mind, by rea M . 1 "I son ot it, is clearer ana more constantly at rest. The rush of life of the North and West is not so stimulating as many Southern, girls suppose. On the contrary, it wears women out as often as it develops them. In no part of our country do women look younger at, matu rity than in the South. To the Southern girl, too, jNature blooms in a profusion j as she dos. nowhere else. fhe natur al history which the Northern girl must get out of books the Southern girl gets direct from Nature's own hand. She, is born of a soil as rich and color ful in romantic history as is the literature of Spain. This she receives as a natural heritage. Her parents are, and her ances tors were, among the best types of American chivalry and Amer ican womanhood. She hears but one language spoken, ane that is her own. If there is the introduction of another tongue it is French, and with these two she can travel the world over and never be at a disadvantage. The religion which she learns from her mother is the highest and best because it is untainted with modern 'revelations.' The truest friend and safest teacher in 'highest living' a girl can have is her mother, and in the South mothers have a way of rinding time for their daughters and being companions to them. The Southern father is fond of his children,- and proves it by his 'presence at the domestic hearth after his dav's business is over." Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of whicli Mr John Oliver of Philadel phia, was the subject, is nar rated by him as follows : I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite gradually growing weaker day i by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend ad vised trying 'Electric Bitters;' and to my great joy jand sur prise, the first bottle I made a decided improvement. I con tinued their use for three weeks, and am now & well man. I know they saved my'; life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them'.

Scott is said to have written "Waverly" in less than six weeks. He wrote very rapidly, seldom revised, and as a conse quence, his novels are full of blunders, inaccuracies and an achronisms. Burns committed his poems to memory as he composed them, and when he sat down to write he had before him no la bor of composition, but only the task of writing down what he had already finished. Gibbon devoted over twenty years of his life to the labor of reading for and writinir for and writing the "Decline and Fall." It is one of the-most stupendous literary teats ever accomplished by the labor of one man. Thomas Moore often wrote s short poem almost improptu He consumed over two years in reading and preparing material for "Lallah Rookh," and two years more in writing that un imitable poem. Emerson is reported often to have spent from six months to a year in the composition of one or two short essavs. . His object was the condensation of the greatest possible into the fewest number of words. Froude passed seven years in collecting materials in writing his "History of England." He was very caret ui in tlie selec tion of data, and spent whole aavs in tne. enort to verity a v mi single fact or citation. One of Milton's biographers says that nearly 20 years elapsed between the sketching out of the plan of "Paradise Lost" and the completion of that work. The actual labor of com position was condensed into two or three years. Dickens says, in the introduc tion to "Uayid Oopperneld, that he spent two years in the composition of that story. He did notusually require so long a time, many of his novels be ing finished in less than a year and most of his shorter stories in a few days. George Elliot is said to have written "Middlemarch in four months. Some doubt is thrown upon this statement by the fact that she commonly worked slowly, writing with great care and" deliberation, and making fewT erasures after her work was done. Bancroft devoted nearly 30 years to 'ins "History oi tne United States, which is not a history of the United States at all, since it ends where the his tory of the country properly be gins. Had the work been con tinued on the same scale down to the present, 75 or 80 vol umes would have been re quired. ' Mrs. Clark required 1G years to prepare the "Concordance to Shakespeare," Gruden labored 19 years on his "Concordance to the Bible," and immediately after its pub- ication was sent to a lunatic isylum. He never entirely re covered from the meital dis ease induced by this gigantic undertaking. Buckle devoted nearly 20 years to tne collection or mate- ials for his "History of Civili zation. He wrote only, a por tion of the introduction, wdiich emains a great monument to his literary and philosophical teachings. If the work ! had been finished on the same scale as begun, a hundred volumes would not have been sufficed. Northwestern Advocate.

Rockefeller is to-day the richest man in the United States more, indeed, the rich est man in the world. His for tune is an incomprehensible one to most people, vast beyond their wildest imagination. It is valued .at $250,000,000, but it is likely that his wealth ex ceeds those figures considerably. it it does not it soon will tor it is increasing at a remarkable rate. His income is upward' of $40,000 a day, or over $14,000, UOO in a year. At tins rate alone, leaving aside the mar velous profits which he makes through - the appreciation , and depreciation of his stocks, he would in the course of his ordi nary life, should he live to no unusual age, become the first billionaire in the history of the world. - His history is most extraor dinary.. When he started in the world he had scarcely a pen ny. His accumulation of mon ey was at first slow but through his marvelous shrewdness he acquired a hundred thousand dollars in ten years. Had he ceased his efforts then he would have been a millionaire to-day, so well devised were his invest ments. But he did not. Where he had laid the foundation for a million, he .raised beside it similar constructions on a lar ger scale. To-da)r, as a result of that marvelous foresight, not unmixed with a little ingenuity and a little good fortune, he has attained his present posi tion as a modern Croesus. Rockefeller's interest in the Standard Oil Company is rep resented by fully $150,000,000, $25,000,000 represents iron in terests kindred to the Standard Oil Company, while $5,000,000 represents his interest in natur al gas industries and in the land trust, all growing out of the Standard Oil Company's business. The rest of his wealth is in vested in real estate, in rail ways, in transportation lines, bank and miscellaneous securi-. ties, but these represent hardly $G5,000,000. Ex.

The Largest Trees World. in the The largest tree in the world is to be seen at Mascah, near he foot of Mount Etna, and is called "The Chestnut Tree of a Hundred Horses." Its name rose from the report that Queen Jane, of Aragon, with her prin cipal nobility, took refuge from violent storm under its branches. The trunk is two undred and four feet in cir cumference. The largest tree in the United States, it is said, stands near Bear Creek, on the north fork of the Tule River, in California. It measures one hundred and forty feet in cir cumference. The giant red wood tree in Nevada is one hundred and nineteen feet in circumference. April Ladies' Home Journal. CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.

Since our issue yesterday telling of the terrible explosion at Cedar Creek, one of' the vic tims, Will "Edwards, has died, and two white men, Messrs. O. H. Wheeler and Lonnie Ed wards are dying. Mr. N. C. Thaggard, who was twenty feet hdistant at the time of the explo sion, was in the city this morn ingj and gave us the following account : On Thursday, the 16th, at 4 :30 p; m., the boiler at Mr. Lf. -. ijinton s mm, near Starrsburg, Cedar , Creek, ex ploded, dealing destruction to man and property. The follow ing are . supposed mortally wounded: O. H. Wheeler, left arm broken and badly scalded ; Ijonnie d wards, scalded; G. L. Edwards, badly hurt in head ; D. A. Clifton, hurt in shoulder and back ; Robt Watson, arm dislocated; Wiley Simmons, cut on leg; Will Edwards, (col.) hurt in head arid scalded ; Primus Adams, hurt in shoul der. The latter was knocked from his cart while -about 100 yards from the mill. The wri ter and Mr. W. A. Jackson were seated about twenty feet from the boiler and were the only persons that escaped un hurt though we had to do some keen dodging from falling tim ber. As soon as the timber ceased falling, we commenced the search for others,-and found Wheeler and Lonnie Edwards 34 feet from where they were standing when the explosion took place with their clothing blown from their bodies. Will Edwards was blown 84 feet and carried his axe with him. The crown sheet and front end of the boiler was blown out and the boiler hurled through the tops of the trees, first striking the ground at a distance of 98 yards, and, ploughing through the ground, finally resting at a distance of 120 yards. The front of the boiler landed 160 yards in the opposite direction. The large shed was entirely demolished. It is the most complete wreck that we have ever ' seen.- Fayetteville Ob server of Saturday, March 18th. The Cold Snap in Kentucky. Talking about the cold snap, Dick Kelly tells the following incident illustrating canine sa gacity : While out in the front lot Monday morning he noticed a large Newfoundland dog rush ing along the road toward town. Out there among the hills, Mr. Kelly .says, the thermometer must have been 34 degrees be low zero, as his cattle had their mouths frozen to the wrater while drinking from the pond, where ice fifteen inches thick had been broken. When Mr. Kelly first saw the dog he wTas carrying a very proud tail, which, unknown to the animal, was frozen as stiff as a poker, and in passing too near a tree he tried to wag his caudal ap pendage. When it struck against the tree the frozen nar rative snapped of to within an iuch of the body, like brittle glass. Realizing .that he had lost his steering .apparatus, the intelligent animal turned around, seized the disjointed member in his mouth and made a bee line for town. Rushing into Dr. Will Whayne's office and laying the severed member on a chair, he gave the surgeon to understand, by looking at the stub that remained of his proud ornament, that he want ed the two sewed together.

An official report of the as sumption by the United Stales oi autnonty over wake or Wake's Island, in the Pacific, was received by mail at the Navy Department from Com mander Edward D. Taussig, of the gunboat Bennington, now at Manila. In describing the island Commander Taussig says : . "The island was more hear ily wooded than was shown in .1 1 -r- tne cnart. ratclies of grass were growing on the lagoon side of the western islet, and the shrubbery afforded nesting places for the many sea fowl. Fish were plentiful in the la goon, and there was a swift current running out. of "the southern passage The lagoon on the south side was shoal. but on the north side there was a long strip of deep blue water extending nearly its whole length. Outside of the lagoon many sharks were seen crowd ing around our boats and around the ships." An Old-Fashioned Maid- She can peel and boil pota toes, make a salad of tomatoes, but she doesn't know a Latin noun from Greek. And so well she cooks a chick en that your appetite 'twould quicken but . she cannot tell what's modern from antique. She knows how to set a table and make order out of Babel, but she doesn't know Euripisses from Kant. Once at making pie I caught her Jove ! an expert must have taught her but she doesn't know true eloquence from rant.

Henry, of this city, has lived a month without "trachea or windpipe, and minus her vocal organs. All were removed to save her life because of a cancerous growth which would soon have choked her to death. The op eration, performed by Dr. F. C. Ard, of this city, is one of the few of its kind known to surgery and one of the fewer in vhich thy patient has survived. Mrs. Henry breaths through a silver tube and cannot utter a sound. With the assistance of other experts, Dr. Ard will at tempt to construct an artificial windpipe of silver, with metal reeds attached. He believes a contrivance can be made that will not only enable her to make sounds of different tone and pitch, but to acquire a form of language which will enable her to communicate her thoughts readily to those about her every dav. Great care will be taken to have the tones resemble as near ly as possible those of the hu man voice. The case is arous ing great interest among spec ialists, and some of the most skilled have volunteered valua ble assistance. Plainfield, N. J., Dispatch. Subscribe for this paper. STATE NEWS.
