GEoRGIAs TURpENTINE PRoDUCTIoN.-The
pine forests OF Georgia must be relied on TO
produce the bulk of the turpentine crop for
me next twenty years Before $40 the most
OF the turpentine in use was produced from
the south OF France and from some of the
northern states. The supply having fallen
short OF the demand, the forests of North and
South Carolina were then drawn on. and are
now about exhausted. The attention of tur-
pentlne men has, therefore, been turned to
W., marc me vast forests of Southwest Georgia as
the future. The production of turpentine
from that section has, We learn doubled sew
eral times In the past few years, and is getting

pentine lands are being sold there al ~ cents
to 81 an acre, or rented at 81 per l,OJO trees
At these rates it is hard to find more lucra-
turpeniine business is rapidly becoming enor
NOUS and is destined to grow 10 still greater
proportions. Many Carolina turpentine men
are deserving their old boxes and coming to
Georgia where they can get plenty OF unlocked
trees al a mere nominal cost. The quality of
the roSln they get from the new trees is much
better than that which comes from the old,
and the Georgia trees yield a much Larger
quantity.-[ Atlanta Constitution.

SISterhood, and the Rev. Sir Emili0uS Bayley
u. d., must be accounted a bold man, for he
introduced the subject at the Female School
OF Art London, after the annual prizes had
been awarded. He started out by saving that
women always seemed to be in extremes and
always contrary TO sound taste. Some years
ago complaints were made of crinOineS with
their eXuberant circumference Now the eIon-
CATION was in another direction, and gentle
men were always i'm danger Of stepping upon

thought, too, that high heels were as incOn-

comfort. Female head dresses i'm the present
day were fairly open TO criticism. lie hoped
