An Institution that Enriches. To thoso that havo never glvon a thought to tho subject, it would Inter est them to dnvo down by the Waco Woolon Mills and stop a llttlo whllo and take a look at that iiiHtlttitton. Tho host time is about six, Just whon tho mills are turning out for tho night. It Is a bit of world in Itself. Hun dreds of operatives como passing out of tho doors like a swarm of boos, boys, girls, women and somo men, all with dlniior;i)iiskots In hand and scattering to all points of tho compass In groups or singly as they scok their homos mako a protty and impressive sight. Tho operatives do not earn much but thoy earn their llttlo stead ily and surely and tho pay roll of tho mill brings needed food nnd (nothing and fuel Into hundreds of homes nnd feeds many an infant that otherwlso would go hungry. Tho mill hnndo aro not clothed In purple or fino llnon but it U a school of industry for boys, bettor than tho street, and it Is not a bad school of Industry, patlonco and Holf-rollanco for girls. Good men and women graduate from factories and mills, and you will notlco as tho groups lllo past you thoro nro a good many protty faces under thoso sun bonnots and thoro aro good puro hearts boating under those gingham drosses. But consider a moment what that great hivo of Industry means to Waco. Tho thousands the mills pay out monthly nro all spent at homo. It doesn't como In rivers but its little trickling rills from unvarying springs. Not a business in tho city but feols tho genial liitluenco. Tho grocory man, tho wood hauler, tho mnrkot gardoner, tho barber, tho news vendor, tho Evening News and ovon thoso great marts of dry goods trado San ger Bros., Lesslng, Solomon & Rosen thal, Goldstein & Mlgol and Lewlno Bros, would regrot the lost of tho hard earned dollars which come from the woolon mills operatives by littles week after week, rain or shine, winter or summer. Where do those thous ands como from? Nearly alll from abroad. From Arkansas, from Louis iana, from Kansas, trom New Mexico, from remote Texas and porhaps other states. In this consists the political economy of tho factory and tho mill Toxas wool manufactured by Waco hands Is sold away from homo and foreign money comos to W bco through that source. In nearly every other thing there is a cons taut drain of raw material to pay for manufactured goods, a drain that impoverishes Tho woolen mills draws other peo ple's money into Waco and that Is what onrichos. Supposo thero wero fifty factories in Waco. Evory city, town, or country that turns raw ma terial Into manufactured goods gets rich, and every town that sells raw material and buys manufactured 2ood s remains poor. Rido down to tho mills somo evening, light your cigar, lean back In your carriuge and look nt the evening turn out and givo the Institution n bit of study. PROBABLE DEAD MAN. Upon Search Proves to be a Dead Horse. This morning Mr. J. W. Cochran, who- lives in tho neighborhood of China Springs, whilo on his ,way to town and when In tho locality of the cedar brakes, one mile and a half from Waco, saw a negro woman accost an old gentleman in a buggy who was driving In an opposite dlroction, and s tu to that sho had discovored somo man's clothing laying on tho road side not far distant. Mr. Cochran says ho did not stop to mako an in vestigation of tho matter but as ho drovo along tho road he smellod a horrible stench which originated from tho decomposition or some animal. Upon arriving In tho city Mr. Coch ran Informed Constable Jenkins and Deputy Sheriff Ford of what ho had heurd and both olllcers iminodlatoly repaired to tho scene. After a thorough search thoy discovored noav tho road side an old dead horso nnd near by lay an old torn shirt. Further search sovoaled nothing now to tho ollloors nnd thoy botli being satisfied that this was tho eauso of the alarm retracod their way back to town. N in ll r C011I Oil. San Antonio Aug 21.

At a big cauip-mectitig nt this place a novel bit of acting was injected into tho servi ces. Whllo tho Rev. Fleming Grey was preaching on tho "Prodigal Sou," nt tho proper place tho prodigal son was seen entering tho tent. Ho was forlorn looking, wns dressed in rags and carried somo old pans and cook ing utensils. Tho preacher ran down to meet him with nilection, put a robe on him and gave him a ban quet. Thorcmarkablo porformauco produced ft thrilling ollect. The China Tree. The well-known pride of the China tree, both for shade and ornament, especially the umbrella shaped variety is scarcely appreciated as its merits demand. There are. however, some qualities claimed for the leaves and berries not generally known, and to which we would call the attention of our readers. It ia a well-known fact that no insects or worms infest its foli age or attacks the wood, hence it is more than probable that its virtues as an insect repellant are not overesti' mated. The leaves, if picked in al ternate layers with corn in the shuck, will prevent the ravages of weevil. and it is more than probable would have the same effect with peas, beans and grain. Used in like manner with clothing, blankets and other woolen goods, it is a certain repellant against moths. Meat packed with either leaves or berries will not be attacked by worms. A decoction of the leaves or berries used to water plants will protect them from the cutworm, etc. If these claims for the foliage and fruit can be substantiated, we know of no reason why they could not be used as an insecticide for all purposes where one is required, and with every prospect of success. It is at least worthy of an extended trial. An Albany teacher states that it is often difficult to get the names of their parents from young children. A little boy was asked what his father's name was and said he did not know. "Well," said the teacher, "what does your mother call him ?" 7he boy prompt ly replied : "An old crank." One of the largest cargooscof tea ever landed in New York arrived there last week from China on the British steamer Glenshiel.
