A RIVER'S BURDEN.
'Areas of Land Transported from Placa
to Placa by tho Mlaaiaslppl.
The Mississippi has In 1lis course of
ligps transported from the tnnnntnlna
and lilph lnml within Its riralnnKO nrea
ufflolctit material to make 400,000
gqnnro miles nf now land hy flllliiK tip
an est tin ry which oxtoudod from Its
original outfall to tho Jtilf of Mexico
for a length of 500 miles. This river
Is still pouring solid matter Into the
snilf, where It Is spread out In a fan
llko shape over n const lino of l."0 miles,
and Is filllnjr tip at tho rate of .'102.000,.
000 tons a year, or six tons as much as
was removed In the eonst motion of tho
Manchester ship canal, and siilllcleut to
tnnko a square mile of new land, al
lowing for Its having to nil tip the gulf
to a depth of elphty yards.
Ftomo Idea of the vastness of this op
eration may lie conceived when the
fact Is considered that some of this soli
has to be transported more than 3,000
miles, and that if tho whole of It had
to be carried In boats at th lowest
rate at which heavy material Is carried
on tho lnli:iid waters of America, or,
say, for one-tenth of a penny per ton
per mile over an averacc of half tho
total distance, the cost would bo do less
a sura than f ais.onn.iKM) a year.
Through tho vast delta thus formed
tho river winds Its way. twisting and
turning by Innumerable bends until It
extends Its leimth to nearly 1.2(H) miles,
or more than double tin- point to point
lenRtli of the delta, continually eroding
tho banks In one place and building tip
land In another, occasionally breaking
Its way across a narrow neck which lies
between the two extremities, and tilling
tip the old channel. Longman's Maga
tine. A l'olsonons Fish.
A flshlns sloop came In this weoK
bringing with It one of the queerest
flsh ever seen here. It has no head,
tall or tinder 11ns. It Is perfectly round,
thin and flat. Over Its back is a row of
almost Invisible hairs, which are finely
pointed and evidently poisonous, for ac
cidentally the man who caught it touch
ed them with his right hand and the
whole hand and arm are paralyzed.
It Is not swollen In tho least, nor does
It give him any pain. It Is simply use
less, hanging limp and lifeless at his
side. The numbness began In the fin
ger tips and went on up to his shoulder.
Fearing thnt It will not end there the
man leaves at onco for a New York
hospital. Tho men. frightened lest
they would also suffer from contact
with this fish, chopped It In many
pieces, and, shoveling It up, cast It In
to tho ocean. Long Branch correspon
dence Philadelphia Times.
A Qnestlon of Pronunciation.
Americans who affect the so-called
English pronunciation of tho letter "n"
In words like "ask," "pass" and "last"
are so much Inclined, especially in Bus
ton, to overdo the matter thnt It is well
to reprint the testimony of a Bultlmore
traveler who took pains while In Eng
land this summer to observe critically
the usage of cultivated speakers there
on this point He found In effect that
their "a" was a cross between the "a."
of "ah" and the "n" of "at." lie list
ened carefully to the orthoepy of Lord
Chief Justice Russell, Lord Hoseliery,
and Lord Salisbury and to that of the
eminent churchmen, nnd found that no
where "was there any such broad and
deep pronunciation of words, nnd espe
cially the letter 'a,' ns we generally con
sider to be the English method." Their
pronunciation was almost Identical
with that of good speakers in Baltimore
and New York.

How Clothing is Made By Farm
ers in Maine.
An Industry Which Has Grown
Into Large Proportions.
Tho "fnrmrrs of Maine" nro mnnu
fnetnritiu; nil the ready mailu ulotliinn;
of the New Kiifflmul trade, and n ood
tlcnl for niiintifiictururs in New York
also, Imt tlio "furmurs" include tnuro
t li nit tlio mule iortion of tho popula
tion. For ninny years Boston cloth
ing manufacturers hnvo licen Hhippiiifr
clothing to Maine to lio mado up. It
wan flrHt taken by local senmntroisrH,
who occiiHioiially hired tho wives mid
daughters of tlicir neihors to "help
out," mid Inter took larger amounts
and gave it out to farmers' wives nnd
village fnmilics.
Thrifty and enterprising citizens
saw that there was prollt in tlio busi
ness and began to ooiitruot with tlio
manufacturers for the work. They
established chops nnd employed neigh
boring help to in ike up tlio goods.
Tho business grew so that companies
wero formed, shops built nnd labor
saving machinery was introduced.
Competition was inevitable nnd more
buildings Hero erected. Boston man
ufacturers were better pleased for tho
Urius of contractors mado up of re
sponsible business men, pave bonds
for the faithful performance of tho
work nnd its prompt return, and 1ohcs
by spoiled garments and delayed lots,
which never could bo enforced against
tho village seanintreHses, wore reduced
to it minimum.
Clothing mnnufnctn.ro lias become
its firmly established mi industry in
the Statu of Maino as lumbering or
woodpulp making.
Tho chief location of tho industry
is in tho Kennebeo Valloy nnd "up
R:ngeby way," although many towns
in other parts of the state Lave estab
lished "coat shops." The towns of
Norridgewock, Hkowhcgnn, Water
villo and Fairileld on the Kennebec
Rivor, nnd Farmiiigton, "up Rangeby
way," lead in tho manufacture of
clothing.
Tho work is carried on in buildings
especially erected for tho purpose.
They nre sipinro, two nnd three-story
frame structures, so placed as to givo
light and air on four sides and fitted
with as many windows as possible.
They nro arranged to bo cool in sum
mer and warm in wintor. Steam and
water power is introduced, and every
process requiring the exerciso of
strength is provided with power. The
sewing machines nro run by 8tenm,nnd
even the pressing, which is managed
entirely by men, is done by machine
power.
These towns nro none of them more
than ten hours from Boston, nnd tho
clothing, ready cut, together with the
materials for making it up, is shipped
daily by express to tho contractor. It
is made up and returned by express at
a stated time.
The introduction nnd growth of the
trade has been a godsend to .tho peo
plo of tho State. Agrioulture in tho
eastern part of Maine has been unpro
ductive for ruauy years. Tho condi
tions of tho farms has driven many of
tho younger men to other Slates, but
tuoso who could not go bnve had to
look about for menus of livelihood.
Farmers' wives and daughters either
took clothing to make or entered the
employ of contractors. They not
only provided a livelihood for those
dependent on them, but saved money.
Mortgages were paid off, homos wero
bought, education provided. In tho
smull towns were many well educated
young women, widows, and others of
good family, with meagre, pinching
iucomes. Gradually,one by one, they
turned to this work when driven by
dire straits, and found remunerative
employment The prejudice against
hand labor was finally broken down,
and now not only women of good
families work daily iu the shops, but
even young men with college educa
tions, who have nothing elso at hand
become "bushelmeu" nnd pressors,
make buttonholes or rnu a sewing
machine. There are here in the cities
of New York and Brooklyn men in tho
praotioe of professions who oversew
thoir tailor's work as to senins, pock
els, buttonholes and linings with a
pruoticed eye.
While amounts running from 80 to
$15 per week might be looked upon
ns low iu New York they are ample iu
Maine, where living has ulway been
reasonable. Very excellent board
can bo hud for from $2.50 to 3.5U
per week, and rents have little con
sideration iu the domestic economy.
Fifty dollars a year will snpply a
frame house of seven rooms in excel
lent condition and a half acre of
ground besides.
One peculiarity of the Maine mann
fnct'ire in that the work u confined to
coata anil tosts. They don't make

Lovo In an Ire Cave,
Henry Carter, tho famous Mount
Tacoma guide, hns fallen iu lovo
under romantic circumstances, nnd
will bo mnrried by tho Rev. William
M. .Toffiios, tho first preacher to de
liver n sermon on top of tho mountain
tho place where ho fell in lovo, re
cently, with tho thermometer regis
tering 20 degrees below zero. He is
to marry Cora Beachmnn, n school
toncher, nnd tho belle of Lako Fnrk,
n suburb of Tacoma.
Miss Bcnchmaii, accompanied by
Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Oroe of F.nton
ville, set out rocclitly with Carter, tho
moHt trusted of nil the mountain
guide, to ascend Mount Tneoinn.
At Gibralter rock, which corresponds
to the "shoulder" of tho Matterhorn,
1,000 feet from tho summit, Mrs.
tlroo became exhausted. Miss Hench
man declared her intention to resell
tho summit nt all hazards. Carter
led the way, but soon lost his ico nx,
nnd in scaling difficult passes they
wero compelled to rely solely on their
alpenstocks. They did uot reuch tho
summit until 0 o'clock iu tho nft-.-r-noon,
too Into to attempt to descend
that uight. They had left Taradiso
Valley, below tho suow line, without
w raps, nnd only a lemon and one snnd
wich each in tho way of provisions.
Carter selected n sheltering ico cavo
formod by jets of steam from tho cra
ter, nnd hero they passed n hlecpless
night, discussing all sorts of topics,
and before they left tho summit nt 9
o'clock tho next day, Miss Benchniau
had promised to marry the guide.
Tho instant they left tho steam of
the cave their clothes wero frozen
stiff, and they suffered great hardships
in descending. A rescue party or
ganized during the day came to their
relief late iu the afternoon, after they
had been without food over 21 hours.
St Louis Globe-Democrat.
A New Kin J of Club.
The Broken Flnte Club is a curious
little association or brothorhood, with
headquarters in a small village iu the
Department of the Nord, Franco.
Several years ago n party of manu
facturers and merchants wore dining
togother w hen by chance a plate rolled
from the table, fell into the fireplace
and broke. Struugely enough, the
number of pieces corresponded ex
actly with the number of diners.
Upon this circumstance a society was
formed to include only those then and
there present nnd to terminate finally
on the death of the last member. Tc
each man was assigned a pieca of the
broken plate.
Tho men meet and dine each year,
nnd though no deaths have occurred
ns yet iu the little association, the un
written law reads that when each
member dies his piece shall be hnndeu
over to tho president, who, one bj
one, bhnll fasten the fragments to
gether. When every member sav
one hns passed away, that man shall
add his final bit to the plato, cement
ing it firmly iu, nnd shall have if
buried. New York World.
A Timid Giraffe.
It is very curious how timid these
creatures are about certain sounds.
Noisy sounds, like a man walking by
with hob nailed boots, it does not no
tice, but a lady coming in with hardly
more sound than tho mere rustling of
her dress, makes it stare with pricked
cars and eyes distended. We remem
ber woll after the terriblo explosion
of gunpowder on a barge on the neigh
boring canal, asking the keepers ot
the giraffes of that day how they had
taken it, and he sai l he was surpriued
how very little notice they took al
all. They jumped to thoir foet, but
ulniost at oucu lay down again when
they found nothing had happened.
"But," he said, "if I was at night
time to creep ulong that gallery iu
my sooks, tbey would be so soared that
I believe they would dash themsolvet
to bits." They fear the lurking foe,
and a big bang tearos thorn less than a
fuiut, rustling sound. They are in
that very deerliko. Loisure Hour.
