Movement of the World' 5 Popula«
tion Takes a New Direction.
In This Country the Tendency Is Most
Marked—Many Northern and West-
ern Farmers Are Moving
Down South.
The next great movement of popula—
tion that the world is to witness will be
southward. The conditions are now all
favorable. It has required a quarter of
a century since the w or to bring about
the changes that were necessary to
make the south a thoroughly attractive,
country for northern and western farm-
ers. All the questions relatingto pos-
sible lace troubles had to be settled;
sides by the w or had to die out, and the '
fact that the south could produce
other things than cotton had to be.
demonstrated. The construction after
the war, of railroads through the west
and nethwest by the aid of enormous
land grants made it absolutely neces-
sary that these roads, controlled as
they were by the leading financial pow-
ers of Europe and America, should bend
their energies and unite the influences
of all the financial forces concentrated
in them to turn population westward.
The south was in no condition to in-
vite immigration, even if 'it had been
in its power to accomplish anything
against such a combination of forces as
were at work in behalf of the west.
But a great change has come and all
the disadvantages under which the
south has labored are being removed.
During the. last five or ten years there
have settled here and there all over the
south a few northern and western farm-
crs, whose great success is now being
made known to all their friends in their
former homes. This is awakening a
direct interest in the south in all parts
of the west—an interest such as could
be aroused in no other way.
From every section of the north, the
west and northwest, and even from Cali-
fornia, requests for information about
the south and its advantages for set-
tlers are being received. ltemsof news
from several thousand towns and vii-
fore the writer every day. The most
striking feature in this mass of news—
so pronounced that it would impress .
itself even upon the most casual reader g
—is the number of settlers reported 1
from day to day as locating in the south. ,
This is entirely a new thing. A year
ago items of this kind were rare. Now 1
every issue of every southern paper has i
something in it about immigration mat-
ters and the incoming of new people, and ,
even now thousands of western and l
northern farmers are settling in the -
south. —Richard II. Edmonds, in Chau- I

33,. UPSTAIRS BY EXPRESS.
The Through Elevators Run in Tall
Buildings.
' “ill aboard—seventh floor, first
stop.”
-’l'his cry greeted a reporter t' 19 otflhei
day as he stepped into a dow-n town
ofiice building and faced a half dozen
elevators. lle wished to go to the ninth
floor. He stepped into an elevator
over which was the sign: “Express——
first stop, seventh floor.”
In it there were three men and .a
muddle-aged woman. The starter said
“All right,” and the elevator man
grasped the throttle of the “express.”
It was the usual cable rope. and as the
man pulled it began its journey up-
ward. The lone woman passenger
gave vent to a. slight “Oh,” and hedd
her breath. C.
Floor after floor was passed at a
speed of about eight miles an hour.
l’v'hcn the sixth floor was reached the
woman wanted to get off, but was i11-
formcd that she was on an express,
and it w as against the rules to stop an
express until its destination was
reached. The elevator arrived at the
seventh floor on time. It took exactly
eight seconds to make the upward jour-
ney of 83 feet. The elevator man then
announced that the next stop would
be the top floor, 100 feet above. The
top floor, according to the directory,
was the 14th, and the elevator flew
upward once more, arriving near the
roof a few seconds later.
“We can make a round trip in 45 sec-
onds, inclurling short stops,” said the
engineer of the express, “but we have
made it in about 40 without stops.
There are two express elevators and.
four regulars, that we call way trains.
They stop at every floor and for every-
body who shouts. Ol'tcn I getpassen-
gers who want to get out at thesixth
or tenth floors. They get mad. too,
when they are told they must go up
and take another elevator down. The
other express makes no intermediate
stops at all during the busy hours,”—

To Freshen Silk Bodices.
A very easy and charming way to
freshen a black, white or colored silk
or satin bodice is to cover it with an
over-waist of chiffon the shade of the
bodice, or, if liked, of a contrasting
color. As there are neither daits n01
side seams, this airy drape1y is easily '
adjusted, and to finish the v. aist, one
can purchase in any of the fawn) dry

ribbon or beaded edges. Shoulder
straps of satin ribbon carried down the
front and back would serve to keep the
fullness of the chiffon in place, thus
giving a slender look to the fignrc.——-St.

-A PRETTY GlR:-’S I’ROBLEM.
Tried to Buy Postage Stamps at Less
' Than the Market Price.
The sad event chronicled in the fol-
lowing lines occurred several days ago.
in the small and insignificant-bolting
structure on F street between Four-
teenth and Fifteenth, which the United
States government uses as a branch
post office.
She was an extremely pretty girl,
with the brightest eyes, the pinkest
cheeks, the rcddcst lips, the cutest nose
'and the sunshiniest face that had been
seen in that locality in years.
So pretty was she that the suscep-
tible clerk at the stamp window gulped
as if he had1 swallowed something as
she came tripping up to the window '
and spoke to him.
“Have you postage stamps?” she
asked, as innocentlyas if government
post offices usually dealt in haystacks
‘ and grindstoncs.
But the clerk never noticed that. He
didn’t notice anything but the spark-
ling vision beforc him with three un-
stamped letters in its soft, white hand.
“Yes, miss,” he responded, making a
herculean effort to suppress his emo~
tion.
“Can I get three for a nickel?”
Now, this clerk loved his little joke,
and a man who will joke on a sacred
subject is fit for treason, strategy and
spoils.
“Yes, miss," he answered, and quite
tenderly, too
“Oh, 110w nice," she twittered. “Mam-
ma said they never sold them any less,
no matter how many we wanted. But
I said I was sure they would, and now
won’t ma-mma be surprised when I
tell her that I got three- for a nickel?”
The coy, arch smile she sentflutter-
ing through the window to the clerk
was something to be treasured in the
heart of any man to his dying day.
“I am sure she will,” he murmured,
smiling back at her as best he could
under the circumstances.
“Will you give me three, please,” and.
she laid a nickel down in the window
before. him.
He did not dare to look at her, but
kept his eyes on the drawer where the
stamps are confined.
As he picked out two twos and a one
and laid them beside that soft, little
hand waiting for. them on the windOw
sill, there came into her beautiful
eyes such a look of tender reproach
that he went right over to the registry
clerk and registered a solemn vow that
never, no, never again, would he per-
mit his sense of duty to dull the fine1
faculties of his feeling—IVashington

SPRING HATS.
Styles That Are Popular with the Ladies
Just Now.
Large hats have not appeared yet.
They will probably form a part of the
summer millinery, but for the early
spring the capote and toque are pre-
ferred, and these are, generally made
of fancy straws, violets and gauze. A
beautiful “flower hat,” however, has
rather a. wide straight- brim. The
shape is made of wired blacknct, but
the whole brim is covered with karma
violets, with the leaves making an edge
about the face. The crown is encircled
by pink roses, with many green leaves,
and a cluster of leaves and stalks rises
up 011 one side. The whole chapcau is
draped with a light cloud of green
tulle. This use of tulle is very modish
and appears on the majority of spring
hats.
A pretty walking hat is of a fancy ’
black straw and has ’a rolling brim. On
one. side there is a double brim, and the
two are separated by a bunch of vio
lets. The hat is charmingly trimmed
with white gauze, greenish white
snow-lmlls and Fauna violets. Sonic
trim little toques are made entirely of
violets, with bunches of tulle and fancy
quills on one side.
The regular style of trimming is e11-
tircly abandoned—111 fact, spring mil-
lincry seems to have gone to the other
extreme. Hats are turned up in every
odd way possible, and toques are
trimmed either in front or on one side.
so as to do away with any regularity of
for. Some little toqucs for theater
wear have crowns of cloth-of-gold; and
a toque with flaring wings is of cloth-
of—silver embroidered with gold and
trimmed with pink roses.
But to describe some of Virot’s pret—
tiest spring models. There are a num-
ber of fancy black straws trimmed
with velvet in the bright green that is
so modish now. One has the rolling
brim turned up in an irregular thr‘ec~
cornered shape, and an additional trim-
ming of pink roses and black cock
plumes. Adear little toque is of shot
blue and green straw. There is a rut“-
flcd band of pcacock’s plumage resting
on the hair. Many hats and toques are
trimmed with violets, and a profusion
of tulle is used. Neck boas are huge
ruffles of two shades of tulle, with a
double green jabot in front. A charm-
ing one of green and violet tulle accom-
panies a toque of violets and fancy
green straw arranged with a, pale
green cloud of tulle.—~N. Y. Tribune.
Hunting Deer with a Camera.
An important part of the modern
Sportsman’s paper is the pictures. A
part. of the up-to—date sportsman’s out.
fit is a camera, and no trophy, to-his
. mind, equals a good picture of wild life
in the woods. The Sportsmen’s lie
view has such a picture in a recent is-
sue. It shows two does walking, one
1 behind the other, on their way to a
spring somewhere beyond, along the
foot of a hill slope, where thick bushes
are shown, even to the little twigs. The
deer are. looking askantly towagd the
camera, as if watching an unexplained
contrivance on three wooden legs part-
ly concealed in the brush. The pho-
tographer of game running wild has
to be the stillest, craft-lest kind of a
still hunter. He must find his game
in open places on fair days, but once he
gets a good shot, without the misfor-
3 tune of a missfirc, he is the happiest of
mortals—N. Y. World.
