My travels across this country year after year but impress me more and more that this is an immense country, made of forty-nine states and territories and all grades of soil and folks, all kinds of climate and companies. Last week I was in the busy east amongst the roar of furnaces, the clat ter of machinery, she hum of voices and the whirl of business. This week I am amongst the cattle and corn, hogs and horses, wheat and oats graneries of the west Plenty to do in the east and plenty to ea in the west. In the east thev are hard at it the year round. In the west they work six months and rest and loaf six months. In the east they are making something; in the west they are raising something. The one toils and toils and the other toils and waits. Pittsburg, Pa., is the center of our manufacturing activity. It was here that Carnegie and Frick and Standard Oil magnates, and thousands of others have made their millions. Coal, iron, oil and gas make a combination that turns out millions, Just like a hennery turns out eggs. Fig iron, plate glass steel billets, steel plate, iron pipe, steel roofing, bridge structural, steel for bridges and building. In fact, every thing from armour plate to pocket knives besides those industries which furnish the world with everything made of copper, lead, silver, gold and wood, one will find in and around Pittsburg. Next to the broad and almost infinite manufacturing interest one is most impressed with the immense tonage bandied by the railroads. A hundred thou and cars of iron, coal and coke per day besides the passing through of this gateway from east to west and from west to east of perhaps naarly an equal amount. Double track and four track railroads with all that genius and the most unstinted supply of railroad equipment can alone move the traffic and not infrequently there is a con gestion that almost paralyzes the whole business from railroad president to brakeman. Tbe Pennsylvania lines, the Vander bilt and Oould lines, center here and are at the limit of endeavor to handle and haul the traffic effered them. How they can get their numberless pas senger trains in and out and through all this congestion is a puzzle to me. If I were to puzzle over it I would as soon undertake the problem of perpet ual motion as to understand how they move in such order through such a dense chaos of cars and tracks as this. It makes a fellow dizzy to look at the scene. If tbe present crowd now handling that trafflo were to tttp down and out and turn it over to a new crowd chaos would reign and such a' mess the world has never seen. Occasionally one sees a news item saying that the Pennsylvania railroad proposes to make a loan of a hundred million dollars for improvements and betterments. Then a fellow who has not been over the ground wonders what they will do with all that money. But looking over the ground a fellow wonders that brains and money enough to do all this could ever be gotten to gether. Railroads all over the United States are spending all they make and some of them all they can borrow In betterments and extension. Oh, the infinite present and future of this great country. It would take the vision of a prophet indeed to see what and where things will be a hundred years hence. I am cure the great manufacturing and commercial interests were never in better shape than now. Nothing and nowhere is booming, but everything and everywhere seems to have a steady glow of prosperous life with no signs of let np or hindrance. The tide is beginning to set south ward, and we will soon begin to feel its flow. The west, even as far as Cali fornia, wil soon be full, and the long hard winters of the middle west and the northwest make the South so much more desirable. The railroads are be ginning now to call attention to the South and giving cheap excursion rates, and when the advantages of tbe South shall be fully shown then we will have a constant influx and our lands will soon double in value, our towns and cities will grow apace, and we will be on a tide of prosperifr that we know not of at this present time. If we can keep pace in moral life with the growth that comeathea I hail the influx with welcome a!J delight. As Frank Potts would say, I want "our sort of folks" to come and make their homes amongst as. Those who fear God and rever ence the Sabbath. Them's my "sort of folks." I am rejoiced to see of the religious awakenings all over the world, in Au stralia, in England, in Wales and many cities of the United States. It seems that the tide is rising again and I pray Qod it may rise higher and higher and submerge both continents. I am gaining strength all the time and shll join in the movement at Memphis, Knoxville, St. Louis, etc., this spring. With physicial strength to persue evangelistic Wrk I had rather do that than anything this side of heaven. I will close this tour of lectures at Colorado Springs the 17th, and leave for home. I am so glad I have a home, and a wife and children, and I am sorry for the fellow who hasn't all these things. I am like Mr. Bocsevelt, I have no respect for a fellow who don't want any children. The world would be better off if his parents had made such a decision before be was born. I am glad life is something besides travel and toil to me. I am glad after a tour of a week or two weeks I can go home, (and I am always sorry when I must leave home again. A man to be a man must have some ones to love as well as something to do. A man can only do his best work as he is doing for those he loves. Yours going further west, Sam P. Jones. He Took It Back. Harper's Weekly. In a certain town of western Massa chusetts two of the most prominent citizens are a Methodist brother and a Presbyterian brother. These are neigh bora, and, for the most parti dwell on good terms except when they try to effect an exchange of horses or to talk religion. On one occasion the two had traded horses, and although the out come rangled in- the breast of tbe Methodist, they bad met and started a ditcussion on the subject of predestina tion. As usual, an altercation ensued, when the Methodist lost control of him self. With mixed emotions concern ing horse trades and John Calvin in his mind, he suddenly exclaimed: "You're robber, a liar and a Presbyterian!" This proved too much for the Presby terian and a fight began, in which the Presbyterian 'got the better of it. A he Bat upon his prostrate opponent, bumping his head against the ground, he (mid: "Take it back, take it back, or I'll bump your foolish head off 1" "I'll take it back," gasped the vanquished Methodist, "on the first two counts; you're not a robber nor a liar, but you're a blamed old Presbyterian, if I die for it." Government Beports It la Not Possi ble to Destroy the Cotton Pest. The department of agriculture has issued a report on the results of recent investigations by Special Agent Hunter, of the bureau of entomology, giving recommendations looking to avorting damage by the boll weevil. The report says the work of the bu reau of entomology for several years has inchoated that there is not even a remote probability that the boll weevil ever will be exterminated, and that as a matter of fact no injurious insect ever has been exterminated. It says, however, that although the very large yields of cotton of former times no longer may be posible in the region nosr infested by the boll weevil, it is entirely feasible to produce cotton at a margin of profit that will compare favorably with that resulting from the production of most of the staple crops of the United States by following what is known aa the cultured method. This consists of changes and modifi cations. of the system of cotton raising, including the destruction of the plants in the fall, early planting, thorough cultivation of the fields, planting the rows as far apart as feasible, thinning the plant in the rows and using cer tain fertilisers. . ' South a Cottoa World's Slope. The report of the commissioners sent out. by the British government to in spect the cotton growing possibilities in East Africa is published in the form of a white paper. It says: "Unless difficulties which at present appear to be insuperable can be remov ed, cotton cultivation in East Africa will never be undertaken on any consider able scaled' - First among the difficulties the com missioners place labor on account of the apathy of the natives and their dis inclination for work. The total area, devoted to cotton growing under Euro pean supervision can scarcely exceed a few thousand acres. The commissions' opinion is that the only solution of the difficulty is indentured labor from India or China. For mm I aa pal reel Appetite. Loss of appetite always results from faulty digestion.

High up on a rock-ribfied promon tory extending into the Mediterranean Sea is situated the city of Monaco, with its few thousand population and with a reputation wotd-wide It, with a sur rounding territory of the same name, comprises an area of about six square miles, and forms an independent prin cipality. This is Monte Carlo. About one thousand of the inhabitants are employed in the rooms and the gardens of the celebrated Casino. These gamb ling places are legalized, and built on ground leased from thee Prince of Monaco, and are owned by a joint stock company. The capital of Monaco is undei French protection. The terri tory is encircled by the French depart ment of Alpes Maritimes and the sea. The government has in it many ear marks of the Middle Ages. The revenue from the "tables" alone is so large that it not only pays the running expenses of this city, which is thrown open to all comers, but also the taxes of the entire principality of Monaco besides. There is a govern ment pawnshop, which occupies one of the most prominent buildings in tbe little city. A huge sign stands out up on it, announcing that advances are made on jewels, etc. The tables are never empty. It is a very common sight to see staid old fathers and mothers, bent with age, there with a fixed amount to place on the turn of fortune's wheel. . Men and women of all ages sit around, figuring mentally, and some with paper and pencil, schemes and' combinations by which they hope and expect to "beat" the game. There are times when tables will suf fer a run of bad luck, and in ordtr to prevent tbe possibility of a damaging run on tbe bank, when a table has lost a certain amount as set by the operators and understood by tbe gamblers, it is closed or discontinued for that day or night. One table can lose only a given amount, while its winnings are unlim ited. The greater part of the world does not know or half conceive on how gigantic a plan this gambling operation is carried on. Suicides and attempted suicides, crazed men and women, ruin ed and enriched people, are common products of the roulette-table. Monte Carlo is a great and popular watering-place, and is said to be a much-frequented resort for consump tives. It abounds with rich tropical gardens, with beautiful plants, inviting arbors and shaded walks; it has one of the finest orchestras in all Europe. But tbe great bulk of tbe audiences sees not the gardens or hears the music as it listens for the click of the little ball on its journey, which x means fortune or misfortune to them. An Act to Enable Marries! Men te Sell Their Beal Estate. An important law in reference to rights of married men was enacted by the Legislature, providing that every man, whose wife is a lunatic, confined in any aeylum for insane persons, in North Carolina, shall have the right to sell and convey any of his real estate by deed, except bis homestead, without the signature and private examination of bis wife: Provided the superinten dent Of tbe asylum in which bis wife is confined shall certify that she is of in sane mind and memory. Wben a deed executed by a married man, whose wife is insane snail ne offered for probate before tbe Clerk of the Court in the county in which the land is situated and the execution of suoh deed shall be acknowledged or proven, if the certificates of tbe super intendents and clerk are in due form, the clerk shall then order the registra tion of the deed and certificates. When such a deed shall be executed, probated, and registered in accordance with this act, it shall convey all the estate and interests of the grantor in the lands conveyed free and exempt from the dower rights and all other in terests of bis wife. This act shall not apply to the homestead of the husband.

Johnson, GETTING HICH IS A BABHABIT. millionaire Nelson aay : He Takes None of Prodis of Ills Big easi ness Enterprise. N. O. Nelson, of St. Louis, a million aire against his will, recently told a Chicago audience these things about the rich and riches : Getting rich is merely a habit a bad habit. ' Wealth piles up a load on the should ers of the captain of industry. Wealth is a menace to children and grandchildren who had no band in its accumulation. There is no comfort in living in a mansion with half a dozen servants. I saw a $200,000 mansion the other day built from the proceeds of a cotton corner. It will give the owner no comfort aud cost the livelihood of hundreds of thou sands of cotton mill operatives. You know and I know that the hard est job a man can have is living up to a big income. Try living with the poor. Hire a room for f 1.50 a week and eat ten-cent breakfasts. It won't hurt you. The microbes of disease are no more likely to barm, you there than in a steam heated room, for which you would pay 3 to 15 a day. Now, I have ceased to take any divi dends from our business. Although it is operated in my name, the employes all get dividends on their wages, amounting during the last ten yeais to from four to ten per cent. Thi goes toward buying an interest iu the busi ness and paying for houses, except three-tenths of it, which is devoted to philanthropies. Mr. Nelson built tbe town of Le Claire, III , opposite St. Louis, and there conducts a mammoth profit-sharing business with 4,000 employes. Wbsl Pleases One Displeases Another Monroe Journal. A newspaper man may not get rich, but he gets a good deal of experienoe, which, if be is wiw, be charges upon the profit side of the ledger. When he is young in the business it makes him (eel very unhappy to be criticised. He is nearly as "touchous" as an office holder, and when a mad subscriber orders tbe paper stopped he feels like going to bed. But as he gets older, he doesn't mind it, and learns to feel as if be is not doing much if he doesn't get a few rounds from somebody occasion ally. And then, it shows what the people are feeling and thinking, keeps him in closer touch with bis constitu ency aDd makes his paper closer akin to the soil in which it flourishes. No editor should feel bad over a little criti cism, especially if it is in a friendly manner and has no real venom. He learns to "give and take," and likes it. I see lots of things I don't like," said Mr. W. L. Parker) of New Salem, as he forked his dollar for another year. "That's it," replied the captain of the pen, "we make a paper for lots of folks, and what you don't like will please somebody else. If we had to made a paper to please only one man, we'd have to charge him at least a thousand dollars a year, but making it for a good many we deliver the goods for tl.00 a year. This is so cheap that one man can afford to over look the few things he don't like." B la Order for Eggs. Washington Post. There is a certain lawyer of the town who devotes all his leisure time to the perpetration qf elaborate and solemn jokes. Nobody on earth is too august for him to tackle. He was in London last summer, and one morning he went into a restaurant with his most dignified air, and proceeded to order breakfast. "I want two eggs," said he to the waiter. "I want one fried on one side and the other fried on the other." Tbe waiter nodded and withdrew. A little later he retarned. "Beg pardon, sir," said he, "but I am afraid I didn't catch your order. Would you mind repeating it?" "Not at all," said the ArraSrican, solemnly. "I want two eggs, one of them fried on one eidg and the other on tbe other." "Tank you, sir," said tbe waiter. I thought that was what yon said, but I wasn't quite sure." Five minutes lager an apologetic waiter returned to the American's elbow. "I beg pardon, sir," said he again, but the cook and I have had some words. Would you mind having those eggs scrambled T" del AS) Cheap.
