THE NEW SOUTH.

The new South is progressing at very en- couraging rate. This fact is brought out very clearly and impressively by an elaborate review in the New Orleans Times Democrat of the industrial, financial and educational condition of the twelve distinctively south ern States, emitting from that category the old slave States of Delaware, Maryland and Missouri There has been an increase in the assessed value of property in those twelve States amounting to more than $205, ,000, 900 in single year. The annual increase for l the preceding four years was about $16O, ,O00,- 900, which shows an increase of more than twenty-five per cent in five years. At the same time the rate of taxation has generally diminished while the financial condition of the States has quite perceptibly improved. More money is spent for public education each year, and the amount is said to be twice what it was five years ago, and five times as much as was expended for the same purpose in 1870.
 Perhaps the most striking evidence of the growth of the South is found in the leading commercial and manufacturing places Old cities like Savannah and Mobile are advan-
 
 former claiming to have increased in popula- ton from 2s,O00 to 43,000 since 1870, and having an export trade of $80, 900, 900 year In the shipment of naval stores it claims the first rank among the seaports of the world. But the manufacturing cities and towns exhibit the largest growth. Atlanta, which is entered by seven railroads, has ten iron foundries and three cotton mills, besides a number of other manufacturing es- tablishments, and is building up rapidly. Birmingham is the center of the rapidly developing iron and coal interests of Ala bama, and has increased in population from ii ,OOO to 15, ,000 in a single year. Other in stances are cited quite as remarkable. As a consequence of this increasing industrial ac- tivity and it's growing needs the South shows a prosperity in railroad building for the last year which is in decided contrast with the condition of that particular interest else where in the country. The mileage has in creased by more than three thousand in lit tie over year.
 All this is very pleasing. It is gratifying to see such awakening of the commercial spirit in the South. Money making after the manner of the Yankees used to be held in contempt by my in the South. But it is evident that icy have learned something in this respect. The fact that the southerners are becoming enterprising gives cause for en- eouragement to hope that they may before long make a change in their political methods

CRAZY QUILT INGENUITY.

One Example of Misdirected Energy.
 We were asked lately, said a writer in a fashion paper, to join in raffie for 'fcrazy'' quilt made up of 5000 scraps of silk and satin set together with much ingenuity of niceness of stitching. To the maker and her friends it appeared monumental labor of taste, industry and artistic talent. To us It stood for misdirected energy and perseVer- ance too common among women. If 1t cost but ten minutes to add one scrap to another an allowance far too sman-the quilt repre- sented an outlay of 1,50O hours, 125 work ing days of twelve solid hours each, or one hour day for more than four years.
 What might not this industrious young woman have accomplished in that times If she really cared for decorative art, and 300 hours of close study and practice would have developed an admirable and remunerat1ve skill in embroidery or painting They would have sufficed for the acquisition of modern language a sound knowledge of history, poetry, literature, art, music. They might have been exchanged for the lmpor- tant science of Housekeeping and kitchen chemistry. Devoted to educational work, their hopeful influence could not be reck- oned.
 The craze for decorative art has wrought certain definite mischiefs with, much good.

One harm is that busy idleness has been made to seem improving. Cross-stitch dogs with beae eyes on rugs, and parrots in high relief on lamp mats, are now distinctly rec ognized and summed as survivors of "chro- mo civilization"-wasters of time and slayers of taste. But the makers of Kensington- stitch table cloth borders, Holbein towel ends, decorative" waste baskets, ,pen wipers, fatiron covers, lamp shades, and ''erazy patchwork seem to have eaten of the insane root that takes the reason prisoner.
 It is the chief misfortune and limitation of women that their aims are petty. When these are conscientiously petty as in the mis- guided struggle for decoration, it is naturs ly difficult to substitute larger ones- cumulative teaching of all time having
 that women should be satisfied with pat work, mental, moral or manual, it is perhaps unreasonable to expect them to repudiate it. But most women have ambitions, if not as pirations.
