should be cultivated In the South may
be mentioned the relief which IL
would give to the evils which attend
a cold cotton crop. 1t will be seen
by a review Of the cotton statistics OF
tho past years that The aggregate price
received for a small erop Of cotton was
as great IS that received for q large
crop, the price per pound rising or
falling according to the supply. Con
ceding that the market in future VIII
be governed oy the law Of supply ana
demand, it seems evident that cotton
would indeed be liking" If supp'e-
mented with jute culture.
If one nth of the land now devoted
to cotton were withdrawn and sown
down in jute. it is probable that the
price of cotton would rise with the
increased demand, and the crop Oh
jute would not only support the home
demand, but afford q large surplus for

Cleanliness.

The surface of the human BODY. and
even the delicate membrane covering
the eye, as well a the mucous lining
of the internal passages of the animal
body, may snd often do become dis
eased in such a manner, by neglect of
purity and careful cleanliness, that
they will give off contagious matter.
The contagious disorders of the skin,
the eyes and the mouth are results of
neglect of cleanliness, and are justly
esteemed veiy disgusting. Decaying
matters whether vegetable or animalf
and not unfrequently the still living
but unhealthy and unclean surfaces
and tissues of both animal and vege
table bodies, are apt to become fe cted
with parasites which prey upon and
ipjure or destroy the tissues. Even
the tenderest parts and juices of vege-
table substances and TIE skin, the
muscles and blood of the animal. NAV
be harmed in this way. 1t was a little
invisible parasite which destroyed the
potatoes at harvest time throughout
the country many years ago, and there
are some foul waters and infected
kinds of meat which will breed disease
in persons who partake Of them.
Therefore, it is a duty to be cleanly in
food and drink, as well as In our
breathing and personal habits. 1t is
doubtful If persons who become filthy
in their habits and neglect to
provide for the publication of their
bodies, clothing and premises, will
ever be found pure and sweet In their
thoughts, language and influence.

Read and Reflect.


1t is with enterprises as with strik-
ing fire; we do not meet with success
except by reiterated efforts, and often
at the Instant when we despsired of
success.
Misfortuues come to a man through
excessive love of self. He misjudges
thIn just, good and beautiful,
az linking he ought always to
honsl w iat belongs 10 himself in pref
creme to truth.
1t & useless to endeavor to make a
Gill control his temper, if you give
way to your own to tell him to be
truthful, while you are not strictly 50:
10 inculoate nsatness, while careless of
your own dress. The little folks are
keen observers, and they will not re-
spect you unless you are worthy. Be
careful not to impose unnecessary re-
strictions-to forbid nothing without
reason.
He who thinks much says but little
in proportion to his thoughts. He se
lects that language which will convey
his ideas in the most implicit and di-
rect manner. He tries to compress as
much thought as possible into q few
words. On the contrary, the man who
talks everlastingly and promiscuously,
who seems tohave On exhaustless mag.
azine OF souEc, crowds SO many words
into his thoughts that he always OBJ.
scures, and frequently conceals them.
While we are willing TO admit that
the habit of economy is a useful, prac-
tical and most desirable one, few would
think of attributing to it anything of
beauty or att~ractiveness. Yet the econ
omy of money, o. its best use-for
they are synonymous-has In 1t this
very element. Those who live folly
up to or beyond their income, In the
wearisome efior. 10 build up or to keep
up a certain style of appearances,
really, though unconscioHsly, sacrifice
the very attractiveness which they
seek to produce. The difficult and
painful effort which it costs they fully
realize; but they imagine it to be hid
den from all but themselves and
here lies their great mistake.

How Shoe Pegs are Made.

It was the privilege Of the writer 70
visit the picturesque little town OF
Arlington, VT, which at the time
bcasted a population Of $500, three
churches, five stores. Two hotels, an
extensive car works, cash and blind
and chair factory, also q peg factory,
which, by the courtesy Of the foreman,
Mr. l. E. White, (who had been EN-
ployed there twenty.nine years. he
was shown through, and received val
liable information. The timber used
is black and yellow birch, which Is
cut into pieces four feet in length,
varying in diameter from eight to
fourteen inches. These logs are placed
in a building in winter and the frost
extracted by steam. They are then
run in on a tram railway to the circu-
lar saw department, and cut into slices
or blanks of the thickness desired for
the length of the pegs. These are
sorted and the knots cut out, and are
then passed on to a long bench which
contains six machines composed OF
fiuted rollers. The blanks are then
run between these rollers, which
cresses on both sides. They are then
run through again to cross creaee, or
mark out the exact sizes of the pegs.
They then go to the splitting machines,
which are set with double knives, and
cut the blanks into pegs. As they pass
the last machine they are sorted. and
all knots and discolored ones removed
as they are brushed Off into large bas-
kets. The machines are under the
care of young women, who appear
much more happy AID useful than do
many of those who, humping at the
! piano, would consider, such employ
ment mental. The next process Is
bleaching, which is accomplished by
the fumes of birthstone, which is un-
healthy-(those wholaborh here shorten
their ~Iives). They are then placed in
large cylinders, which hold eleven
barrels, and have six hundred steam
pipes running through them, and re-
volve one and one-half times to the
minute, drying two charges per day to
each cylinder. They are then passed
into large wooden casks, or cylinders,
which, revolving rapidly, polish them
by the friction, the refuse falling
through wire sleeves or screen OPEN
ings, after which they are again passed
into q sitter, which separates all the
single pegs and drops them into tubs
or oxes, leaving those which have mel
been separated In the machine. They
are then put in barrels rsady for mar
ket. The factory running on full time
turns out ~ hundred and fifty bush
els, or fifty barrels per day. The sizes
20 from eight up to sixteen to an inch.
The lengths go by Fights, two and ons-
half to twelve. Twenty-six hands are
employed, half of them being women.
The products Of this mill are mostly
shipped to Germany and France, and
enter largely into the manufacture OF
toys and fancy goods As well as into
the shoe mandatory. Thus the
''genii of mechanism" converts, as by
magic, the trees from the Vermont
mountains into articles of use, which
floating off through the channels Of
commerce to far away countries, anon
return to sparkle the eyes of happy
children in toys, in which the e toys
have become important factors.

A New Use for Paper.

Barrels made of paper are among
the latest inventions. Straw is first
reduced to a soft mass called pulp,
and then run into q mold made in the
shape of half barrel cut from the top
downward. After receiving q great
pressure, until the pulp is about three
eighths of an inch thick, it Is thor
oughly dried, the sides trimmed and
the two parts put together. The ends
are also made of paper. but are pro
tected by wood. Besides being lighter
and cheaper than wooden barrels,
-four Is less likely to sift out from
them.
