mSHEfRMAJt & FARMER BY A. H. MITCHELL- Entered at the Post Office at Eliheth Cit on d clasp matter. ELI5SABFTH m TY. Mar. 24, 1899. Havana owes twelve and a half millions. And not a dollar has been spent for sewers a : J street cleaning. Dewey ought to feel safe against all comers in the Hast now that the Oregon has arrived and been added to his his toric fleet. As soldiers the negro volun teers were not only failures, but their conduct grew worse and worse. In every State that they passed through railroad stations were terror-stricken by their malicious and reckless behavior; and much damage was dona. All the volunteer troops in Cuba will be ordered home be fore the summer, and mustered out. There are some 30,000 now in service on the island. A force of 15,000 regulars is there also. These are deemed sufficient for preserving order and no furs thei troops w'll be sent. Here is a pointer for the far-, mers from the Waynesville Courier: "One of the leading Southern newspapers gives warning of an approaching scarcity of corn and calls upon farmers thus early to make up their minds to plant a heavy corn crop this year. Various cause s are conspiring to bring about the predio arcity. The last crop fell si i what was expected, a large quantity than ever before is being fed to hogs, but more than all, the European demand is increasing at a rate beyond all precedent at and expectation. Farmers should make a note of these conditions and let corn have a large place in the plans they are now laying for another year." Accoiding to the Manufactu rers Record the cotton manuiact uring industry is exerting a far reaching influence in the direc tion of an industrial awakening in North Carolina. A cone spondent of that paper writing from Charlotte, says: The Legislature just adjourn ed has authorized a number oJ towns to issue bonds for munic ipal improvement, and it is esti mated that in owe city alone--Wilmington there will be un der construction by private en. terprise within thirty days buil dings to the value of between $95,000 and 100,000. Charters have been granted to twenty three banks, sixteen railroad companies and eight insurance companies, and nearly all the new banks are the result of the demand for banking facilities created by the cotton mills. He adds: "All-the previous records will be broken in the establishment of local banks, the formation of insurance companies, the devel opment of water powers, the in stalling of electric power plants and the building oi railroads and texile milling plants All this extraordinary industrial pace was set by the cotton mills They lead, and there is nothing for the financial and commercial interests to do but follow. The result is an industrial rate that will be attracting the attention of the whole country to this State before the1 year is out." There is more Catarrh i-i this section of the country than all other diseases piir together, and unt:i t'. :ast wv vea.s was supposed to h iucnrahle. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local diseas . and pre sent ed local treatment, aud constant ly failing to cute with Io-al reatn ent pTononnced it incurable'. Science has proven catarah to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires consti tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

The laziest and dirtiest people in the world have recently been discovered in the Caucasus. They live in an inaccess ible mountain range between the Black sea and the Caspian sea, and as they were 2,500 years ago so they are today. Seen from without, there is a certain picturesqueness about a Svanctian vil lage, although it merely consists of miserably stone hovels without any at tempt at form or adornment. Within the houses are inconceivably filthy. They are filled with rags, vermin and dirt of every description. They possess no fireplace or chimney. All the cook ing, in fact, is done over a hole scooped out in the middle of the floor. In these houses men and women and children aro huddled together. During the long winter months they are shut in for days at a time, the cattle often sharing their quarters. Every aperture has to be closed on account of the cold. This long imprisonment is perhaps the cause of the degradation of the people. Horri ble diseases result from it, which are aggravated by an abnormal consump tion of arrack, tho strong distilled drink of the Asiatics. Besides this, it is an invariable rule to make four days a week holidays, with saints' days as ex tras. Since they have adopted the holi days cf every other country with which they have been in contact, it is not sur prising that the men find little time for work. Farming, bee culture and cattle Dreeding are the only industries of these people, while throughout their territory there is not a single manufactured arti cle. New York Ledger.

One Cannot Help Reins Nrvoa In Look lag From Its Top. In St. Nicholas, John Ward writes ol "The Bell Towers of Italy." Mr. Ward says of the most famous of them all : Pisa soenis like a sleeping city, as she lies so quietly and silently along the two borders of the river Arno. Sne fell asleep several hundred yearn ago, after ebe had struggled valiantly 2ot her in dependence and had won renown during the fierce contests" between the Guelpba (partisans of the pope) and the Ghibel lines (partisans of the emperor). Though Pisa has loug siuc8 forgotten the days of her greatness, the world cannot fur get them when it looks upon that won dronsly beautiful group of four marble white buildings standing apart in the acred corner the cathedral, the bap tistery, the campo santo (or burial round), and, what interests ns most of all, the remarkable campanile, so well known as the "leaning tower." Thi9 famous tower was built in 1174. Its construction is peculiar. There is in the center a boilow brick tube or cylinder; around this plain round tower the archi tects built eight stories of open galleries, with beautiful, slender columns of white marble supporting semicircular arches. The general effect is one of great delicacy and lightness, a fairylike tower of wonderful grace. The summit is 179 feet from the ground. As you all know, the tower leans 13 feet out of the perpendicular and looks as if it would surely fall over at any moment, but, as the center of gravity is still within its base, it is as safe as if it were erect. The foundations were prob ably imperfectly built at the start, fof the tower began to lean before it was half finished, and we can see whero at one point the builders tried to bring it back as much as possible to the vertical line by making the columns on the low side higher than the others. The walls, too, are strengthened with iron bars. Fanoy the consternation of the archi tects when they saw their beautiful tower leaning over and its foundations sinking in the ground I It requires very steady nerves to carry us to the top, and we find ourselves clinging to the wall when we are on the leaning side. This is what Charles Dickens says about the tower in his "Pictures From Italy:" "In tbeeourse of the ascent to the top the inclination is not very ap parent, but at the summit it becomes so and gives one the sensation of being in a ship that has heeled over through the action of an ebb tide. The effect cpon the low side, so to speak, looking over from the gallery and seeing the shaft recede to its base, is very star tling, and I saw a nervous traveler hold on to the tower involuntarily after glancing down, as if he had some idea of propping it up." When we reach the summit, we must not forget that this was where the great astronomer Galileo watched the stars, experimented on the fall of bodies and studied the law of gravitation. Here, too, in the upper story, hang the six bells, the largest of which weighs more than 12,000 pounds. The bell founders of Pisa had a wide reputation for cast ing bells of beautiful tone, sonorous and harmonious. They lavished on them all their art and their talent. The Pasquarecoia ( the Paschal bell), the most famous of the Pisan bells, the one which was tolled when criminals were taken to execution, is ornamented With a figure of the Virgin and tho de vices cf Pisa and has a ri ;h, full tone.
