The South's New Life.

Nashville Union.
Meeting oneof our principal brokers
on the street yesterday, he said, in a
conversation, that all advices from
New York were to the effect that
Southern securities were looking up,
andmuch more interest was felt in
them than at any time since the war.
This is no doubt true. There are
several reasons for it. Our political
and social status is better understood.
We are practically illustrating the
truth of the fable that to go and do
thing ourselves is better than to de-
pend on others, and this is inspiring
confidence. And our manufacturing
industries are proving the great value
of having the raw material at the
door. And last, if not more impor-
tant, the restitution which the war
brought has developed all the latent
energy of the people, and in their ex-
tremity they studied and schemed
and devised plans until they coerced
attention. Their iron from Southern
furnaces and their cotton fabrics from
Southern factories, in New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and
Chicago, have advertised not only our
advantages but our enterprise, and
made the entire Northern press speak
out in vindication of our industrial
progress.
The one speaking fact for the South
is that, in all this long depression,
with iron lower than it has been for
fifty years, and furnaces all over the
North being blown out or breaking
down, not a single coke furnace in
the South has failed or blown out eX-
cept for repairs. The stereotyped an
swer to all kilograms inquiring about
iron is, mo iron for sale" The
yards are not only cleared up, but
most of the furnaces have sold ahead
for some months. This strongly in
dictates returning business; indeed, it
so strongly points to restoration of
trade that the stock of the largest iron
industry of the South, the Tennessee
Coal, Iron & Railroad Company, has
moved up seven or eight points in
two weeks.
With our banking institutions
sound and healthy, our manufacture
ing industries carefully watched and
our farming interests stimulated by
the advantages of a home market,
the South will soon move up on a
higher commercial plane than she
has ever before occupied, and will
draw capital sufficient to develop all
our latent wealth.

Kindness to Animals.

Stock Journal.
That animals appreciate kind treat
ment requires no further proof than
is exhibited in every look and act of
the animal itself. 1t takes but few
minutes for the temper of the master
of animals to be impaired to the ami
mails in his charge. If he goes to the
yard with club in hand, boisterous
words and oaths in his mouth, there
will soon be commotiOn in the entire
yard the stronger animals will COM
mence to gOuge and hook at the
weaker, and there is a general spirit
of anger and dissatisfaction manifest
ed at every point. Now, the farmer
who creates such a feeling among the
dumb beasts which have been COM
mitted to his care and keeping is to
be pitied. 1t was never intended that
though the weaker should be subject
to the stronger it should be as with a
rod of iron, but in the spirit of kind
ness.
How much pleasanter for the far
mer to enter his yard and have the
animals confined therein manifest a
show of pleasureat his approach, as
though expecting kind word or Ca
ress, than to start away in expecta-
ton of harsh word or kick. Kind
ness pays at all times. Inspire conf
dence in animals; let them know
that you are their protector, and the
willingness with which they will
obey, will be very marked. Another
thing-an animal or animals that re-
pose in quiet are much more easily
kept than those that are kept in a
state of nervous eXcitability by harsh
treatment. This principle is illustra-
ted in the case of mich cows. The
flow of milk may be arrested and
very much impeded by harsh Ian,
guage, or kicking, or grounding
when in the stable. If the best re-
suits would be obtained by those who
have stock in their charge, kindness
to them must be observed.

Poor Rats.

Blade Farm.
They made us much trouble. We
couldn't trap them. Ny wife put
ground cayenne.pepper on burs of
dock and rag weed, and placed them
in the runways Of the rats. They are
all gone. Don't that beat the infer
no? Wicked as it may be, l had a
hearty laugh. Only to think of the
poor fellows trying with their teeth
to pull out the burs matted into their
hair, and the pepper settling their
mouths on fire, and the floods of
tears pouring from their eyes, and
the terribleoaths theywerepronounc-
ing with ascending incubation and
strong emphasis on the inventor of
that "Yankee trick" and wicked as
it was, if you don't laugh reader,
well, weshall think you contemplate
suicide.

Demand for Lucifer Matches.

A large dealer in lucifer matches
says the dull season in this line of
business is between December and
March |. He adds: "The popula-
ton of the United States is stated at
about 100000 persons. Of those
only 10000, 900 live in cities, leaving
35,OOO,OOO in country places. During
the summer months men work in
the fields, and when they want to
light their pipe they use a match.
In the winter the fires are kept up,
and few matches are needed. Now,
the non-use of, say ten matches a day
for four months in perhaps 10000
houses will alone cause dull time in
the match business, for itwillamomt
to 5,OOO,OOO,OOO, to say nothing about
those not used by men. But the
country people do not cause the only
losses in the trade, for there are les
used among city people during the
winter than summer"

The Spirit of the Age in China.

Demorests Monthly.
The Mongolian race embraces a full
quarter of the entire population of
the globe. Its civilization is vastly
older than that of the rest of the
world. Its records antedate all other
history. Many of the discoveries,
which have worked vast changes in
the modern world, were known in
China long before the commencement
of authentic history. The mariners
compass, gunpowder, movable types,
in other words, printing, were dis
covered and in use in China before
the Christian era. All the modern
discussions on veXed problems in
finance, such as mOnometallism, BIZ
metallism and the use of paper
money are but reproductions of trea-
tises published in China before the
history of Ancient Greece was begun.
But somehow Confucianism, which
was a secular religion and polity, az
rested the development of Chinese
genius. That nation was led to pay
undue respect to the past, instead of
being hopeful of the future, which
had the effect of putting stop to the
onward progress of the Mongolian
race. The mariners compass, gun
powder and the printing-press have
revOlutionized the modern world,
and now their influence is being felt
in the old conservative Chinese En-
pire itself.

Starch.
Rural and Stockman.

Rural and Stockman.
A subscriber asks for information
for something to put in starch to
make the goods look like new. We
suppose she desires to produce the
glossy appearance, for which purpose
several substances are used. Some
housekeepers use small quantity of
kerosene, and others small piece of
butter or lard. Perhaps the best arti-
Gle for the purpose, however, is gum
arabic, tablespoonful of which STIR
red into pint of starch will give a
glossy appearance. Any of these ar
ticles should be added after the starch
has been made in the usual manner.

all be comfortably seated.
