coffee to contend with Rio or cotton
homespun against Yankee calico. As
it is, many Of these practices have not
yet fallen into desuetude, and have
contributed largely towards recupera-
tion. The fertility in resources. the
adaptation Of means to ends, the indi-
vidual self-reliance, though born of
those troublous times have outlived
them, and now constitute valuable re-
suits of the war.
Another was the education of her

that comes from travel and contact

One of the demands of that supreme
folly, Reconstruction, was that new Con-

unfortunate, the builders grossly igno

They contained articles totally unsuited
