Highest of all In Leavening MM AC0filTCK, PURE CHINESE SNAKE STONE. Cnrioaa Oriental Product Which to Salt Se Cur PoUoeoo Bite. Bon R. Spradloy, attache of the St Louis sanitarium, at 1S3S South Grand i venue, baa in his possess ion one of the most curious and what he asserts to be pne of the most usef ul and valuable of articles. It is what is known as a Chi nese snake stone, and there Is said to be but one other in the country. Indeed the one in Mr. Spradley'a possession is but half a one, the original having been cut in two by Mr. Spradley and half of it given to a friend. In appearance the itone looks like a small piece of oblong shaped cannel coal and is about one siKlith of. an inch in thickness, three eighths of an inch wide and half an inch long. It is aa light in weight as a piece of cork, possesses a polished sur face and can be easily cut with a knife. It is not a stone, in the proper sense of the word, but is a manufactured article and is of a porous texture. To cure snake bites or poisonous wounds of a similar nature with the "stone" the wound must first be acari flod. Then the stone is applied to the wound. Each morning and evening it is taken off and put into a glass of luke warm water to remain a few moments until it discharges the poison it has ab sorbed. Then, after the wound has been washed in a strong solution of salt wa ter aud again scarified, the stone, which in the meantime has been rubbed in warm ashes until dry, is again applied. If this treatment is kept up for nine days and the patient abstains during that time from spirituous liquors a cure is assured. "I secured the stone, " said Mr. Sprad ley, "from my father more than SO years go. He got it from James J. Parker, the man who made it From 1874 to 1877 1 was with the party which was put ting through the Texas Facifio railroad, and daring that time cured several of the party who were bitten by rattlers and other poisonous snakes. I have fre quently loaned the stone to friends, and I cut the original in two, giving half of it to a particular friend of mine. I have not need the stone for some time, but am ready to give a test of its merits at any time. "It is, you see, not properly a stone, bat is a manufactured substance of a por ous nature. The theory possessed by many that so called 'madstones' are found in the stomachs of animals is all nonsense. They are all manufactured in a manner similar to this, and it ia sim ply their' 'drawing' powers and their porousness and consequent capacity for absorption that renders them valuable. St Louis Republic. It Didn't Fim Suitable. "We can let you have the bridal chamber," ventured the genial hotel clerk as he rubbed his hands and looked confidentially across the register at the youngish coufla. "That is very kind of you," replied the young man as he drew a nervous flourish beneath the abbreviation "and wife" and laid down the pen. "But we contemplate remaining ten days or so, and yon might need the room. " "Yon shall not be disturbed, I assure you," continued the clerk, "and the apartment is a lovely one. " "Airy?" asked the young man. "As to that," and a gleam of intense pride surmounted the clerk s face, "I will say that the room contains seven windows, all opening upon tiny veran das." Tbe young couple looked at each oth er. Then the young woman spoke. "I don't think we shall care for that room. Ton see, our three children will be here with their nurse in tbe morning. They can all climb like goats, and I'm cure they would be falling off those verandas inside of 15 minutes." "Front," murmured the clerk in a voice that betrayed deep emotion, "show this gentleman and this lady np to the sky floor and have the maid put the nursery in order." Truth.

Last year I was in London and went around with a friend who is married, and we were spoken to in an insulting manner every time we went out Paris was still worse. People speak of the French politeness, but it is only a veneer. The men wonld get in front of us on every street corner and smirk and ogle and chatter like monkeys. I'm glad I didn't understand anything they said. There are no men like the Amer ican men, and I never was so fully able to appreciate it aa I am, now I have seen those of other nations in their own lands. Besides, the girls are treated better here than anywhere else on earth, and I don't want to cross thj ocean any mora" A Humble Archbishop. Willegis, a famous archbishop of Mentz, rose to that elevated position from the very lowest ranks. He was the on of a poor carter, but was never ashamed of bis parentage. He not only taused the following inscription to be placed conspicuously in his palace, "Willegis, remember thy parentage," but bad the wheels of a cart hung up in the cathedral of Mentz.

It is not generally appreciated that there are enormous fortunes in single pearls, and that a few individuals aud great potentates have jewels of this sort which are literally worth a kiug a ran som. In all the world there is no more famous pearl than the Tavernior, now in the possession of the shah of Persia. This remarkable gem canie to this east ern king by descent and is a genuinely remarkable curiosity. It derives its name from having been sold by the trav eler Tavernier 200 years ago to the then ruler of Persia. The price then was $500,000. It is now worth more than $650,000. Another eastern kino, the inian of Muscat, has in bis collection a pearl worth 165,000, weighing carats. Through it the davlicht can be soon. Princess Yousoupont's finest gem is won derfully beautiful. Valued at $180,000, it was first heard of in 1030, when Gear- gibus of Calais sold it to Philip IV of Spain. Eighty thousand dollars is the figure that it is approximated the pope's pearl would bring. One of Leo s prede cessors beonmo possessed of it in a man ner which hits not beeu told, aud it has descended m regular course to the pres ent incumbent of St Peter s throne. This, so far as is known, exhausts the list of truly celebrated pearls. There are many remarkable pearl necklaces whose value is extraordinary. These necklaces are made up gradually, pearl after pearl being added to the set, and leading jewelers are constantly on the lookout to procure gems of like rarity to extend the chain. Ou the whole, pink pearls are not especially valuable, black ones bringing far higher prices, and pearls that are white being sought next after them. Queen Victoria of England has a necklace of pin pearls that is worth $80,000, and the dowager em press of Germany one made of S3 pearls which would bring easily $1.25,000. The Rothschild women have, how ever, gems of this sort that far exceed in value those of royalty. Baroness Gns- tave de Rothschild possesses one made np of five rows of pearls, the whole chain being valued at $200,000. Bar- ! Adolphe de Rothschild owns circlet that in all probability would fetch even at a forced sale $350,000. Even more brilliant, because it has seven rows, is tbe necklace of the dow ager empress of Russia. The gems. however, are not quite as fine as three in the Rothschild collection. The cas ket of this royal lady is the most fa mous in the world from a gem point of view. Hardly second to it is that of tbe empress of Austria, whoso black pearls are noted throughout Europe for their extreme beauty and rarity. What has become of the white pearls of the Empress Eugenie, sold at the close of the Franco-Prussian war, has never been made known. The value of these was some $60,000, and they were gathered together in a very beautiful necklace that frequently graced the neck of that nnfortunate queen. New York World. The Chinee. The merchant class of China is com posed of polite, patient, extremely shrewd, well dressed pattern shopkeep ers. Tbe leisure class is graceful, pol isbed and amiable, but the peasantry remind one of tbe country folk of Eu rope, excepting Russia. As compared with Japan, one feature of every view is strikingly in favor of China. Tbe dress and behavior of the Chinese will not offend Europeans. The women are modest and dress in a baggy garment which completely covers them, In spite of their modesty Chinese girls do flirt and in proper European fashion. At church they make eyes at tbe young men and on the way to school. The most beautiful women of China are of Soo-Chow. They are, as a rnle, prettier than tbe women of Japan. The Chinese thrash rice by taking handful and beating a log with it to scatter the kernels on tbe ground. The farmers break up the soil and punch holes in it for seeds with a stick. Women who are married wear their back haii in a coil beld in place by a narrow bar of gilt metal or imitation jade stone. Tbe young girls wear the coil at one side of the bead and stick a white flower in. Exchange. . The Thorough Woman. Thoroughness would be a good onward cry for the advancing women I say ad vancing with emphasis, for really the advanced women are not on hand in any considerable number. To a large extent those who are to be of value when they arrive are holding back for good equipment iney know that men require proper mental habiliment -for the war of life, and tbe first rate women who expect to cope not fight with firs rate men in tbe struggle of the world realize that they must be prepared to halt for re pairs. And thoroughness is a mighty fine battleax. Putting on a little veneer and pretend ing to know never deceives ourselves, and rarely any one else, save for a very short time. Life, like love, is a leveler, and if we live among folks tbey soon find out just how much we don't know, and the weak spots in our armor become the bullseyes for their shafts.

Cnrrespondi-ut Parke Write of the Pros perous Day IV-for the War Kandout Observation at the Atlanta Kspoaltioo Condition of the Colored llrother. At this stngo cf progress it seems to me best to merely unine the mutt novel features in each department of the At Inula exposition without attempting any detailed description. In the Agricul tural building are represented every product of our soil south of Mason aud Dixou'i line and many from other sec tions. Here one may study the progress of sugar from the cane to the sugar bowl, of silk from the worm and leaf to the reel aud loom, and of cotton front the boll to sheet and shirt Of agrion) tural implements the display is rather of those which ought to be used than of those which are. I see no specimens of the clumsy hoes hammered out of old mill saws, the rope lines and the collars made of husks and old clothes which are still common in the south. Arkansas has the best state exhibit in this build ing. In the Machinery building Ohio appears to be a little ahead at present, though I have as yet found nothing en tirely new. Here, as at Chicago, Manufactures and Liberal Arts was meant to be the de partment of greatest popular interest, and Italy seems to have the gieatost dis play of beautiful articles. From Milan are hundreds of kinds of ornaments aud decorations, from Venice a complete exhibit of the Venetian glassware, and from elsewhere ceramics, Florentine mosaics, tortoise shell and ivory goods. embroideries and laces, and a long array of statuettes of every size, design and material. Iu tbe educational section are many interesting specimens of school work from every part of the country. In the Electricity building Indiana appears to lead. Tho Fort Wayne Elec tric company, tbe Jenny Electric Motor company of Indianapolis and the Amer ican Electrio Telephone company of Kokomo have taken up large spaces with fine exhibits. And next, so far as I can see, in display are Ohio, Massachusetts and Minnesota. The Negro building was at first sup posed to be too small for the many who wanted space, but exhibitors delayed so long that the design bade fair to degen erate into a burlesque, and even now the hall sometimes appears rather as a place of fashionable resort for the col ored, dudes and dudiues of Atlanta than a place for fcteotific and industrial dis plays. Despite the rapid progress of 30 years there is still a good deal of what southerners call "the Jim Crow busi new" about the untaught negroes. They seem irresistibly prone to be the clowns and fnumokers of humanity, and even the dainty quadroon dude as he trips along the walk, the admiration of the black gamin, seems as if he bad "made np" as a burlesque on tbe white ex quisite rather than as a dudesui generis. Perhaps, however, it only seems so to us by long association of ideas. The larger part of the space is taken by the educational institutions, and nearly all the rest is occupied by food prepara tious, artistic designs of various sorts A COLORED DUDK. tnd needlework, the display of the last named being wonderfully varied and complete, a great credit to the colored women. I have asked the colored leaders many questions about their progress in indus trial organizations and find the whole matter in a singularly chaotic state, but all agree that in Pensacola their people have done rather the best in that line. In every part of the south soon after the war the freedmen seemed moved by a common impulse to join in leagues and societies of every sort, and out of the many hnndreds projected perhaps a doz en have proved permanent From one standpoint it was laughable, from an other most encouraging, for it is the de velopment of tbe organizing faculty which does most to make a people great In addition to the many political leagues they had the Sons of Reuben, Wrestling Jacobs, United Brethren of Friendship and bnrial societies beyond counting. Almost evtry colored laborer is now a member of one of the latter, contribut ing a few cents each week as an insur ance in his own case, for they have a healthful horror of a pauper burial and a delight in what they call a "fittin funeral. " In Pensaoola, says the agent represent ing that place, they have a society for every important function of social life, a union for almost every kind of work, lodges and chapters for all the charities and many religious and educational clubs. At one time the colored rousta bouts there had the wharf aud transship ment work entirely in their own hands and made their labor worth $3 or $4 per day to each during the busy season. The lowest unit of organization was the squad, the number of men who could conveniently work one vessel under one boss. Tbe bosses were organized in di visions, and at the head of all was a committee to regnlate honrs and wages. Each laborer bad bis ticket to show bis squad and division, and it was only as a substitute for a member that an outsider could get work at all. Tbe strength of this organization was partially broken at one time, but I am told that colored laborers are everywhere struggling to combine. At this point I digress long enough to give a whack to that erroneous idea so common in the nor tit that the south and the colored people made no general industrial progress before the war. It is among tho most easily proved facts that in 1860-00 the progress of the south, on tho whole, was as rapid as it ever has boon si noo aud iu some things much more rapid, aud that the surplus labor aud capital were turning away from ag riculture. The south is to blame for tho false impression created by the gush over tho "new south," for, so far human wisdom can see, the movement of 1800-60, maintained without the check of war, wonld have put this sec tion far ahead of whore it now is. The increase of cotton production in that decade was 110 porceut, which sim ply couldn't' have oontinned, as it would have brought a crop of 9,000,000 bales iu 1870, aud that would have crushed tbe market nine times as badly as it did last year. Iu "Uucla Tom's Cabin" St uiair is made to propound this conun drum: Suppose something should hap pen to bring down tho price of cotton at once and forever, to make it a drug iu the market, what a flood of light we should get on slavery, etc. Well, that is precisely what wonld have happened had there beeu no war. Tho glut would have coruo as early as 1870-4, insteud of 1890-4, cotton would have sold at 4 or 6 cents a pound at tho gin, and slaves wouldn't have beeu worth SO oeula apieee for cotton raising. Iu 1850 the south had 8,835 miles of railroad, and in 1860, 9,807 miles, an increase of 819 per cent, Iu 1860 tho south produced nearly half the corn of theoooutry, -tOiiercentof tho livestock, three-fourths of the tobacco and nearly half of several other staples, though it had little more than a third of the popu lation. The gain iu sawed and plumxi lumber was 95 per cent, iu iron produc tion 85 and iu the manufacture of boil ers and engines over 200 per cent. But it is needless to detail. To prove the case it is only necessary to consider this question, If the south bad no great man ufactures, how did she sustain herself iu a four years' war aud all outside shut off by a cast iron blockade? These young southern writers are full of hope and energy aud enthusiasm, but they must not forget that there are still a few of us old fellows who were alive before the war and saw what was going on. Hor ace Greeley, in the first chapter of his 'American Conflict," showed that the United States in 1800 was the greatest and most prosperous nation on the globe, and James U. Blaine says the extraor dinary prosperity of the south at that time created an excess of confidence which had much to do with bringing on tbe war. But the young south is active aud vigorous, with an eye for the main chance and a talent for advertising, aud this exposition is a splendid monument to its fervent local pride. J. B. Parks. Atlanta. Theater flat. The New Jersey legislature has fol lowed tbe lead of tho New York legisla ture in throwing out an anti-high wom an's bat at pubiio amusements bill It now remains tor tho Now Jersey women to follow the example sot by many of the fashionable Now York women in discarding the use of the too high bat in all places where it can disoommodo other people. By tho way, it seems to ns that tho far too high woman's hat ought not to be worn in church any more than at theater or concert It may prevent the person who sits behind from witnessing tbe church ceremonies or from seeing tho clergyman. A row of these too high hats in a pew may prevent a lot of peo ple from beholding tbe things which ought not to be beyond thoir vision. Tbe loveliness of a lovely woman in the street, or iu her carriage, or in an elevated train, or in a trolley or horse car may, however, be enhanced by the wearing of a hat that is as high and ornamental aa she pleases or as hei purse will justify. New York Sun. She Objected to Footllft-hU. A roar of applause greeted Susan B. Anthony in tho National Woman'sCoun- oil as she advanced from the wings to tbe front of the stage, where tbe foot lights suddenly blazed out with all their force, lighting up to advantage her silver hair, striking face and well formed figure. She seemed as sho stood there before the audience, gavel in hand, a fitting leader of American wom en. Her bearing was dignified, graceful and unconscious, as calm and command ing aa a Oreek goddess, with nothing of tbe masculinity and aggressiveness gen erally supposed to be the qualities of the leaders and advocates of equal suf frage. Those who had never before seen ber were impressed and fascinated, and those to whom sho was familiar were delighted and charmed. "My, my, "she exclaimed good bu- moredly as the gas flared up again, "1 can't stand this. Let tbe lights be turned off. Anything but the foot lights. "Washington Post Mr. Lena Hlttlf.

Unlimited favor will be given to vel vet next season. Many of the rough cloth Jackets are made iu roofer shape, ; Some of tho new furcapos are finished with vest fronts of contrasting fur. Some very elrguut black costumes are prepared for dressy autumn wear. The twilled tartan goods make stylish costumes with vest of plain goods elaborately braided. Among the novelties for cool weather wear are fur sailor collars finished around tho entire edge and long pointed fronts with a deep fringe of sable tails. Tho grout rage for crepon fabrics has resulted, as usuul, iu tho production of clionp grades of it which will turn dowdy looking and runty in two months' time.
