The Housekeeper: Itseems strange
that in this age of the world, anybody
should think of bringing up girls
without having them acquire some
means of self-support. And yet we
often see whole families of girls who
read little and play a little and do a
little family work and other things
about half way, blissfully unconscious
of any ability to earn a cent, even if
they were starving. They are ex-
pected to get married, but are not
even taught housekeeping and sew
ing. Oh, what recklessness for their
future prosperity and happiness! No
girls education is Finished" till she
has a thorough knowledge of some
trade or business which will enable
her to support herself. And she can't
be even a lady in the best sense with
out that ability. 9

EXPERIMENTS IN JUTE RAISING.

Preparing the Fiber for Marlzet-Goot,
News for the South.
The announcement that company has
been organized in New York to make
thorough experiment in jute raising in tho
south, is a cheerful bit of news. The COM
pany has leased 5000 acres Of land in
Madison county, Alabama, and viii plant it
in jutc and ranie: it wiz also establish Il
factory for preparing the fibre for market.
1t can not but be a qualification to Professor
Waterhouse, of this city, who has written and
said SO much in behalf OF jute culture in the
sonth, to see the Endorsement of this broad,
practical enterprise given to his theory
Northern capitalists have been brought at
last to believe that this fibre, which is super
seding others in the manufacture Of SO many
kinds of cloth, can be proftabiy grown in our
southern states and that we can not only
save the So, 000,0 900 year we now pay for
India jute, but establish in this country a new
system of prosperous manufactures. The city
of Dundee in Scotland, lives very largely
upon its jute industries, the jute being i'm
ported from India and manufactured for ex-
port to ali parts of the world We have I'M
portant jute manufactures III this country,
too, but the butts, which are the raw material.
are brought from the other side Of the world
and this necessitates an outlay which would
be saved il we could raise our own supplies.
There are good reasons for believing that
we can do this. Partial experiments already
made have had very satisfactory results The
plant requires rich soil and a warm, moist eli
mate - conditions found in Louisiana and
parts Of Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina
and Georgia. JUte stalks very large size have
been raised in Louisiana, and it is claimed
that crop of the fiber can he made with one
half the labor required for cotton, which viii
yield twice as much money. This, if il shall
be practically demonstrated, will be Of great
value to the southern states. 1t viii give
them two staples instead Of one; it viii cur
tail the cultivation of cotton, which has been
carried to an extreme, and it will make south
ern plantations the seat Of a coarse and sim
pie manufacture which viii still further Iii
versify the industry Of that region. The Ala
bama enterprise win be watched with inter
est by southern planters, i:nd if the results |
shall be satisfactory, jute and ranie culture I
will become an important feature in southern /
agriculture.-St. Louis Republican.
