Gentlemen should never fail to in
vestgate beneath the sweet bands of
their new hats. These bands are
stitched in by girls, and it has come to
be quite a common thing for them to
either write their name and address on
the inside of the band, or to write it,
sometimes including n little note, up
on a slip of paper, which is stitched
in If a girl is of an aspiring nature
she honors only the most expensive
hats with her name; but oftentimes the
name of don't-care girl may be found
in the plainest kind of felt slouch. 1t
is authoritatively stated that several
good matches have been cemented up
on the basis of hat-band note.

A PROSPEROUS SOUTH.

There is no doubt that the country is upon
, the threshold of new and more stirring era
The South has secured the attention she re.
quired to bring her resources into successful
development, and the industrial forces are
operating with great vigor in her manufac-
turing, her mining and agriculture. Cotton,
jute, ramie, and all Southern products will
from Southern looms furnish their fabrics to
the world, and bring to the South the pros
perity which has built great cities in other
sections, and will be found as abundantly able
to build them at home.
While il is too much the American custom
to rely upon government for prosperity
which the people by their industry and pru-
dence are always able to command, we are
yet aware that the question Of further legisla-
ton on the subject of the tariff is important at
this time, chiefly because it IS the
temper of the country at large to regard it So
1t presents a study for the statesman sufi-
GENTLY difficult to try his ability. There are
many degrees of taxation considered in their
two-fold bearing 10 adjust the nice discrimina-
ton of which will test the finest capacity. 1t
might be better for the nation TO let the ques-
ton alone on its present base if that we're pos
sible. But it is not so. There is an obvious
feeling of unrest on the subject in the Demo
cratic and probably in both parties, and when
the question OF the speskership shall be de-
cided in the next House of Representatives
the tariff toscin will be sounded and a new
adjustment Of the disturbing elements in tart #
taxation will be sought.
What all sections most want is a permanent
tariff, one that can be let alone so that there
may be steadiast commercial rest on what
ever scale Of duties may be adopted. tits the
apprehension of change that un-
settles commercial repose and with it bust
ness Of every kind. In every part of the
South the manufactory is soaring its industrial
front, and homogeniety of interests are
blending that require impartial and permanent
laws. Nothing is needful to the security of
a permanent prosperity, such as has rarely
been the privilege Of any people, but the
absence of injudicious legislation. This it
should be easy to provide.

THE American Register says A bale
of cotton for which the planter re-
ceives 40 average price of $50 undergoes
processes in mills that give ii Ia saleable value
of $2so. The manufacturer sells the trans
formed cotton bale, deriving from il profit Of
10 per cent, or $25. Deducting $50, the
sum paid the planter, and there remains $I75.
Governor Patton, of Alabama, is curious to
know who gets that $I7s. Do the generous
mill owners give this $r75 to their operatives
or TO churches or to their mothers in law
Why are they rich and their operatives poor?
and why is the South impoverished as never
before, and why are its industries prohtless
and its people uneducatedS Tell what be
comes Of this SI75 and how this sum is pro-
duced, by what law OF the land and scheme
OF finance, and then we can know why the
cotton producer is an illiterat0 beggar and the
cotton manufacturer a gilded aristocrat,"
This certainly opens up a source for con-
reflection, and yet the question
asked is easily answered, but how this state OF
things is to be remedied is quite another
thing. Such incidents serve to show'the real
secret OF the wars of labor against capital,
and until they are remedied, the laborer and
capitalist cannot work tremendously together.

Watering Sheep.

A writer urges more careful study of
pure water and of drinks in general. on
the economy of animals. The priva-
ton of water tells more rapidly on
health than abstinence from food.
In every kind of beverage the part eff
cacious in assuaging thirst is the water.
The quantity of water required by an ami
nal varies with the airs temperature
and humidity. A sheep requires least,
and a PIG most water, horses and cat
tie come between. In the case of sheep
much water thins the blood They
ought never to be deprived of water, nor
at the same time allowed to fully slake
Gheir thirst The latter observation APP
plies also to horses. The sheep and
horses are. of domestic animals. the
most sensitive to impure water. For
draught animals and sheep warm drinks
are enevating.-N. Y. Herald.

The Starting Point.

At the threshold of another year s
operations in the field, the garden and
on the small fruit plantation, it is well
TO consider how much the outcome de-
ponds upon good plans, good soil, good
seed, and good management. If these
are present land as a rule, iudicious
foresight can supply them) failure will
be almost impossible. 1t is true that
the elements can not be controlled, but
diligence and the adoption of mitigat-
inc measures in case disaster does come,
may turn seeming defeat into victory.
The first requisite is a good soil in good
condition. Good seed must be pro-
cured and properly put in. A common
cause of unsatisfactory crop consists in
poorly prepared soil; let this work be
done well. One of our Western seeds
men offers these sensible suggestions,
which though not new, can not be too
often presented: Don't cultivate to
kill weeds alone. but to admit the air,
and thus utilize the fertilizing matters
in the soil. Cultivate early, cultivate
often. cultivate late. cultivate thorough
ly. and you will be troubled very little
with weeds. Keep posted; take the pa
pers: no investment pays so well. Ten
dollars invested in this way will pay
better than stocks and bonds. ''-Pyaiyie

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Clear boiling water will remove tea
stains. Pour the water through the
stain, and thus prevent its spreading
over the fabric.
The Colorado Farmer thinks polling
not only unnecessary, but a disadvan-
tage to Lima beans, and advises the
clipping off of the climbing tendrils,
thus making the plants low and bushy,
and filled with pods.
-Papered walls are cleaned by being
wiped down with flannel cloth tied
over broom or brush. Then cut off a
thick piece of stale bread with the crust
on, and rub them down with this. Be-
gin at the top and 60 straight down.
Fuller, in his "Small Fruit Cultur-
ist,'' says: Il do not believe that there
is one acre of strawberries in thousand,
cultivated in this country, that yields
over one half that it would if the ground
was properly prepared before planting"
Here is valuable hint for horticulture
SITS.
Nothing adds more to the appear
ance of a garden than good, clean, we'll
made walks. They should be under
laid with coarse stone. or at least have
stone drains at the side, with smaller
stones on top. When walks are con-
structed of dirt merely, and without
proper drainage. weeds and surface
water are almost sure to work havoc
with them-N Y Examiner.
-Millet Is an excellent fodder plant,
of which COWS are exceedingly fond. 1t
is a warm-weather crop, and needs to
be grown on a light, sandy soil. By
manuring well it may be made to pro-
duce from two to five tons of hay to the
acre. A copious flow of milk is pro-
duced by cutting the millet, sailing
slightly, moistening. and sprinkling
with a little meal. Chicago Journal.
-Housekeepers in the country and all
lovers of country walks should be ready
for experiment when the first fruit trees
begin to blossom. A handful of fresh
apple blossoms put into the tea caddy
will give the tea the flavor and perfume
of some of the finest Russian teas. The
apple is a country cousin of the tea
plant. and much of the scent of
imperial teas comes from mixing these
with flower blossoms.
