I WSJ ruminating about the cost of raising a cuiia. uy sue anu mj (laughter have been busy for a week Bxing up short clothe for the little girl aad I wondered what ja'fli the matter. We are ust making up some pnng dreeae for Caroline " they said. "How many will it take f" Btd I. "WoU we will hare to have fourteen to lUrt on," said my wife, "one of each day- and even of tliem will bare to go out in the wash you know every Monday "How many other garment?" aaid 1. " Well, there are seven white, skirt and four Dannels andsome littteshorta yoj know, but everything is so cheap now that bet clothing doesn't cost much. . These nice little dresses with lace trimming and all only cost about 60 cento apiece for the material nnd we do the work at home.'! Caroline i our grandchild nd live in the house with us and irirM ua tots of comfort. She loves me and I lore her dearly and had rather nurse her and frolic with her th- n go to town and exchange wit and udom with the litteratl and the kmfes. An old man and a little child fit mighty well -together. It. is nature's compro mise. I am old and wrinkled aud gray, but this little child will put out her hands to come to me whenever I come in the room. That flatters me of course, thopgh her grandmother say it just because I walk about with her and tout 1 spoil bet ana maice u narucr ior anybody else to nurse her. She is out inar more teeth now and is just getting over the whooping cough and needs moreuumng, ana wnen enepui out er arms to. me I'm going to take her and; walk about with her if the world tonitf no an end. I've got a little soothing song that I've boon tinging to our children for forty yeanj and I can get them to sleep when nobody else can. The measles are all over the town now and she ha got to have them.- Hor little cousin have been kissing her and now they have broken out but that's all right. I don't believe in hiding a child from the measles. .- It is a right big thing to raiso a child, and especially ten of them. It is the biggest thing in this lite, mere are . tilings- that r the newspapers and '.society and Congress make more fuss about, but they wont compare with it in importance nor in purity aud love and self-sacrifice. . The innocence and helplessness and affection- of a child, say from one to five years old, i the most blessed and attractive thing in the world. About three million babies are born every year in the United States, and tt takes Shout six million people to raise them tip to walking and talking time. Then . another crop comes on, nd another. The fact is that about half the people in the civilized world are engaged in raising the other half. And it is a labor of love. I speak from experience when I say that the pleasure have derived from nursing, caring lor. maintaining, pleasing and educating our children has exceeded all that .1 havo realized from all other sources. And now that I am old and tired, I bad rather frolic with a grandchild than do anything else. .' Of course there are some outsiders who o ire nothing about these things, f There are some solfiish toothers who- are absorbed in 'sdciety and it faahion aud follies who turn their children off to be nursed, and there are some old bachelors who don't waut to be bothered with (hem "and some business men wno muiK mat making money is a bigger thing, and hardlv have time to get acquainted with their children, and there is a big lot of theives. burglars, robbers, 'drunkards aud convicts who care nothing for chil dren but nevertheless, the masse of tho neonle eel married and become engaged in raising children and this is the nat ural thing to do and brings 'ruoro hap piness than cau be found in any other state or conuiuun my nuc uu l.hio mUh her first child are han- pfer right now in working for that little child than thoy would be in any, other occupation, and' so am I-, I wouldn't writo for a newspaper u i wasn i ohliMd to.

He hold to the ancient opinion that the sua and plan ets go around the earth. One of Jas per' race at Woodland, Md., don't be lieve in the telegraph, as this anecdote affirms: '"' ' :. ' ' Last Monday week an old negro brought to the office a dispatch, which he ordered lent off immediately, Mr. Brown answered "Alt right(" took the paper and sent off the message, then,'' taking down his file, he placed the orig inal on the book and hung it up in the office and went on to attend to hi busi- The negro took his seat and sat for half an hour, never taking hi eyes off tue paper in the tile. Atterwamng un-, til he was out of patience, he said : j "I say, boss, hainl you gwine ter (end : dat message T It's berry important; it should go 'megetly. ' , , ti . Mr. Brown aostfered, "Why,, old man, I sent the dispatch along ago; it's delivered long before this."

Mr. iirown tried to explain, but noth ing short of sending the paper message whirling along the telegraph wires would satisfy Mr. Darkey. He don't believe yet the message was sent. ' . , ipicgj! n Tim Hood's Sargaparilla ha achieved great success in warding off sickness which, if allowed to. progress, would have un dermined the whole system and given disease a Mroni foot hold to cause much suffering and even threaten death. Hood's Barsaparilla has done all this and even more. It has been taken in thousands of cases which were thought to be incurable, and after a fair trial bos effected- wonderful cures, bringing health, strength and joy to the afflicted. Another important point about Hood' Sarasaparilla is that its cure are per manent,- because they-start from the solid foundation of purified, vitalized and enriched blood. But it is not what we say but what Hood' Barsaparilla does that tells tho story. .. ,1 IIow to Become Heautlful. - Eat fruit far breakfast. . Eat fruit for luncheon. . Avoid pastry.

BBITT U f ALL KIYEU. uiTideads la the cotton indoitry the Larc est for If any Tcaia Low Tariff Brought . - . .,. j rronta. . '" The New York Tribune published on December 80 the annual statement of dividends paid in 1895 by the cotton mills of Fall River, Mass., the center of the cotton industry in the eastern states. The report shows that the average dirt dead paid by the various mills was 8.09 percent., a larger amount than was paid for many years past. In 1892, the year of which the McKinleyites al ways boast a the most prosperous pe riod under a high tariff, the average was 7.80 per cent., but this has been considerably exceeded in 1895. In ad dition to tbe unusually high dividend paid large sum bave been put by as reserves, or surplus capital, so that in reality the record tor last year's busi ness is even greater than the above tig urea would show. The Bourne mills, for instance, paid a profit sharing divi dend to its employes of seven per cent, in addition to, a stockholders' dividend of 18 per cent.,' a total profit for tho year of 20 per cent. , Other mills were only a degree less prcspercu a number of them making extensive addition and repairs out of hut year's earnings, after paying above the average dividend on their stock. It is further reported that four new mills will bo- erected this year, which will give employment to several operatives. ,-;. : ..' The Republican readers of the Trib une, who bave been accenting as gospel (hat paper' statements that under the Wilson tariff the country was being ruined, industry going to the dogs and business standing still, must bave rub bed their eyes on reading this official record of the most successful year in the history of the American e turn in dustry. Had they hot seeu daily in editorials and cooked news articles that the country was stjU in the slough of despondency Into which it had been plunged by four years of McKinleyism ? Wag not the intmne insisting that Con gress should promptly- restore the high tariff law repealed in 18M4 by tho Dem ocrat, as the only means of starting up our closed mills and factories? : Did uot that paper solemnly assert that "free trade'' bad brought low prices, idleness and stagnation How, then, could it be possible that one of our great industries should have been so prosperous, iu dividends so largo, its output so great, its employes' wages so high? s - j - The answer is so simple "The little boy ; lied." The organ of protected trusts had dclibcraU'ly suppressed the news of busy mills, wage advances," new factories started and general prosperity, which had been recorded by the Demo cratic and independent paper during 1895. : Not only that, buut had assert ed the reverse 0'. tho truth, and by false representations bntf led its readers to believe that the condition of the coun try was worse than when the McEiuley law was in firce. Each besines fail ure, no matter what the uuuse, was ascribed to the Wilson tariff, and mag nified beyond' its- importance. - The smallest sign of calamity or depression was eagerly welcomed, and commented on.in partisan editorials. . ; But when authoritative statements are lued from tho centre of a great indus try show an examnled condition Of pros perity, the Tribune merely records the tact. . But that 1 euoiign.. wttc bet ter business than user before, no argu ment is needed to convince the Full River manufacturers and workers that they have been helped, not ruined, by the Wilsnd tariff.

I have, anu will tell yon about it A horse back ride of a down or so miles brought me to Gold Hill, which was a full of bole a a tramp coat Some were down only an far a the earth could be thrown out with a shovel, and other were like unfinished well, with rough wirdlaase across the month; but there was bo sight or sound of worker, they had all departed, leaving th hole to tell story of misspent labor. A few miles further in the same region I found a real operating gold mine. The prominent tight were a contrivance like an old-style odor null, whose long lever wa moved continually round and round by a mule travelling in a circle. This primitive motor operated a drum, irom whicn swung by rope two large barrel. These went down empty and came up foil of water alternately, from a dark bole in toe ground at the mule circus went on. , A man at the top wa kept busy punching . the motor and emptying the full barrel by a valve in the bottom. The hoi or abaft wa square, curbed with timber, and looked small to tee. The only way down wa a perpendicular ladder attached to the side of the shaft . ; ' I felt a little timorous about risking a descent, but I bad come for the , pur pose of "doing" a gold mine, and it had to be done. They gave me a tallow candle, which was carried, I don t re member how, Doles in my mouth, and climbed carefully down that ladder under a shower-bath from those as cending barrel. : It seemed like a long way down to the bottom, but wa only 80 feet There was a lower depth from which the barrel were filled, and a stream of water ran along the lateral tunnel into it Lighting my candle, I travelled (lowly , along the subterra nean passage, with ' rock or timber overhead and brook ankle deep be low. , I aoon found - a miner with an illuminated head pecking away at ' a soft brown rock, which looked filthy I asked. The miner showed me some bright point, of s rarity like the Chris tian charity we read of, a the light fell upon them. "Is that all?" I asked, in a disappointed tone. ", 'Pear like it," replied the miner. "Wa you lookih' for coined eagle down here?" Saying that gold dollars would aatiafy my expectation, I asked tor specimens of the ore. . "Take all you want," aaid he; and being only .moderately Avari cious, I only filled my pocket. ' . iVuer climbing out 1 learned that the mine product wa valued at leu that $10 a bushel, and wa worked tot it owners by hired laborers. - There were three gang .who worked eight hours each. The mule or a substitute had to keep those barrels on the move contin uously, or the water would flood the mine. Mounting, my "critter" hastened home with my wealth, and at first leisure proceeded to realise, ly pulverizing the ore, washing out the dirt, "and adding quicksilver to the precious residium. This collected the gold, and after squeezing out the mer cury through the buckskin, I secured gold enough to fill a tooth. The cash profit of my trip wa nil, but the information gained was of interest to me.- y; ; ; 1 - ;;-.-; What The Ketone Tell of the Km! Con dittos of the People. ; -Charlotte Obaerrer.

Although the Observer baa found it necessary to cendenae it to some extent, there ia much in it that will repay a careful examination.

' ' The favorite abuse of Mr. Cleveland by th silver men has been that he has proved himself a traitor to the financial plank in the vnicago platform. They have called him a Benedict Arnold and all that They have quoted such por tion of that platform a suited their ar gument Messrs. Reid and Craig did recently, and as Webster Weekly did last fall. " ' . They had hot been candid with them- selve nor with the people. . They now acknowledge that Mr. Cleveland has been true to tbe platform. In an editorial this week the News and Observer declare that tbe great fight at Chicago will first be over the financial plank in the platform; that tbe sound money men will must on re affirming the plank of 1892. and that it tbey succeed the silver men will walk out of the convention. . Isn't that strange talk? If that is a free coinage platform, pure and simple which Mr. Cleveland in hi bull-headed-nesa ha refused to carry out, as they bave persistently told the neople, why will it not do again for our silver friends? , Is it not a patent acknowledg ment that, after all, Mr. Cleveland and those who hold to his policy bave been justified in their interpretations of that plank. It doesn t mean what they have told tbe people it meant. Another strange thing i that many people in North Carolina think Mr. Cleveland ha "gone back" on hi pledge. They say he wa tor silver before hi election. Now, no man ever lived who ha been more candid with the people. He told them fifteen month before his nomination that he was against the free and unlimited coinage of silver. . He has "not changed.. -He was for tariff reform and was so much disgusted with the make-ehrft of tariff refoim, passed by Congress, that he al lowed it to become a law without hi signature.
