Show Useful in the Production of Paper, Sugar and Other Commodities. A new source of wealth for residents of the southern states has been discovered. Some months ago M. V. Marsden of Philadelphia and Joseph Wile, of Kentucky, had a lot of cotton stalks shipped to Philadelphia to have them analyzed, to flfad If there waa something valuable In them. They returned to Gonzales, Tex., recently with aaroples of what was found In them and exhibited them to a meeting of citizens. The stalks were found to contain from $2 to, i I worth of sugar to the ton, to make fine samples of paper superior to wood pulp, two pieces of material resembling celluloid; smokeless powder composition, alcohol and a valuable fertilizer. Mr. Marsden thought that an aero of average stalks would amount to about three tons and that in the south 70,000,000 tons of stalks were going to waste that were capable of producing that many hundred million dollars. These gentlemen show their faith in their investigations by offering to erect a plant in Gonzales for the conversion of the stalks into the various articles shown at a cost of $75,000, with a possible increase to $250,000 if the citizens would take $25,000 pe ferred stock. There is no such plant or Industry yet In operation. His Specialty. , Falling into conversation in the smoking car with cne whom I had heard was a distinguished and successful physician, I confess to a feeling cf Intense embarrassment My lips trembled, my face flushed lu the dilemma, and I felt that my secret was not safe.

"Quite right, sir," replied the doctor; "I, for one, don't believe In it" Astonished, but nevertheless much encouraged, I took heart of grace. "And would you mind my saying," I ventured, "that I have never been vacremovcinated, nor had my ayx-ndled? What do you say to that?" My companion shook my hand.

Wentz was a pioneer of the twentieth century fighting the seventeenth. When he crossed the frontier with his army of miners, furnace men, railroad hands, clerks and followers, he Invaded a country where civilization had made little progress, where modern industrial organization was unknown, where feuds flourished, and where the family or tribe was still the unit In governmental affairs, in practice if not In theory. There was no question in the law courts of the validity of the title Wentz held to his lands. It came direct from the States themselves. But the men. whose families had lived among the mountains with no other title to their holdings than that conferred by undisputed occupancy for a period covering generations cared for the deeds of record. They felt that the land was truly theirs. They had cleared it. cultivated it," pierced the forests with trails that stood and whatever the earth yielded to man was wrung from It by their labor. No one had ever questioned their rights of possession until this enterprising man from a distant city appeared with strange plans and projects.

In Hawaii she puschased one of the "Kamthameha the First pol cups, made of the ko wood. In Japaa she bought one of the bandleless teacups of satauma, Corea, China, India, the Philippines, Russia and the different European countries were all repre sented with a characteristic cup. Another woman globe trotter went a step farther and collected one complete tea set In each country, so sbn ha teapots as well as teacups. the Russian samovar. Lace teacup is marked with the name of the country and the coat of arms or of the ruling power. Sometime, their owner gives delightful tea parties, transporting her guesls to China, Japaa or Russia, as the irirll moves her. A young matron has, among her wadding gifts, what she eajls a "Mar-rftg- e Set" It consists of cup and psucers, each one represented by a distant friend who knew of her for teacups. Each cup Is deco with the floral emblem of tho atd in which the donor ftves, and jate underneath is an appropriate quotv cet roti-cha- tion. Of course the California teacup aai saucer a.e decorated with ye;Io etcholtsla, commonly called California poppies.
