how many young men are managers of
mills and factories, and in positions of
responsibility, They remember that
the war impoverished the country and
made it necessary for them to go to

the beginning, it was over long ago. and
the young men of the South neither
dread work nor hold labor in con-

1t is rare thing to find an idlcr, it IS

New England WOOllen Mills.

In order to ascertain the extent Of the
depression in the New England woollen
industry, the Boston AdUcrtiScr sent cir
culars Of inquiry to the 500 mills in those
States and has published the results of
the replies received from $50. The num-
Der of woollen mills in New England re-
ported by the census of 1880 was 400,
and the number Of sets of cards was
1922. According to the Advertise,'s s
returns, the number of sets of cards now
shut down is 759, or moro than q third
of the whole. The estimated daily con.
sumption of each set Of cards is 3OU
pounds of wool. This would show re-

In the soventy-two years prior to the
civil war, the South possessed the Presi
dency for forty-nine years, and rs good
as possessed it under the eight years Of
Pierce, of New Hamshire, and Buchan-
man, of Pennsylvania. In those days it
made no difference where man came
from, if he was in sympathy with the
dominating Southern clement. The ex-
traordinary contributions to the Prcsi-
dency, were due, not at all to her loca-
ton, but to the uNusual relations of her
strong men to the Government during
the period of the Revolution and settle
ment of the Constitution. Virginia has
furnished no presidents since Monroe
went out in 1924.
Mr. Russell, a wealthy Mississippi
planter, who is Mt Rockbridge Alum
Springs, with his wife, has with him also
an adopted child, twelve years old, who
is son of the late Gen. John b. Hood
Of the Hood children, the two eldest
daughters were taken by Mr.. Maury, q
relative Of Mrs. Hood, and are now be-
ing educated in Germany with his dnngh-
ters. John b. Hood, Jr.. the oldest hoy,
is the one adopted into the family of Mr..
Russell A pair of twin girls are adop-
ted children of Mr.. Adams, of New
York; another pair Of twin girls are in
the family of Mr.. Mckee, of Mississippi:
another boy, Duncan by name, is the
adopted child of a wealthy maiden lady
of New York, and another, Oswald, is
in the family Of another New Yorker re-
siding near the Empire City, Thus
have the fathcrlcss been cared for. A
singular coincidence is related in conncc-
ton with three of the gentlemen
who have thus taken the place of fathers
of these interesting children. Mrssrs.
Russell, Adams and Mckee were class

Preserving Berries.

FRUIT JUICES. juices Of many
kinds of fruits are so extremely delicate
that they cannot be preserved by the or
dinary methods of heating, SO as to re-
tain the flavor, this being especially the
case with raspbcrrics and strawberries,
To meet this difficulty, we are advised to
take perfectly ripe, dry, clean raspbcr
ries, and to mash them in an earthen jar,
with wooden pestle, SO as to obtain a
homogeneous mass. 10 this, five to ten
per cent. of grape or cane sugar Is to be
added, and the whole then allowed to
stand, being stirred occasionally. An
alcoholic fermentation will before long
take place, in t}.o course of which the
pectinc will Separate completely, leaving
the perfectly clear juice, which will be
found to retain all the peculiar aroma of
the raspberry.
preparing strawberries two opounds
of berries are to be selected, rs directed
for raspberries, and placed in large
mouthcd bottle without mashing, SO rs
to ill the bottle one-half to two-thirds;
two and half pounds of finely pulver-
lied sugar are to be added, a d the whole
shaken up frequently ut the ordinary
temperature, without heating. The
sugar will extract the moisture from the
berries, and form clear syrup, possess
ing all their flavor and odor, which may
be separated by straining. This juice
will keep perfectly by the addition Of
| one.ffth Of its bulk of alcohol.
