JUTE CUL TURE.

A nea: little pamphlet published by the
Weatherford Native Jute Rope Manufac-
turing Company of Parker county, comes
to The GAzRTTE Office as o welcome
harbinger Of one of the most important
industries ever started in Texas, and one
that can be engaged in by our people
with but little expense. The fact that
Texas possesses unlimited quantities of
soil suitable for the cultivation of this
plant has been demonstrated practically
by successful experiments made at var
ious times, and the perfection of the
jute decorticator facilitates its saving and
conversion into marketable rope and
cordage at cost which renders compe-
tition hopeless. The company referred
to have entered largely into the manu-
fscture OF this class of goods and is Offer
Ing liberal inducements to those who Ge
sire to engage in jute raising by furnish
ing not only the machinery necessary, but
market for the raw material as well.
The twine that is used in Texas in the
harvest fields, in stores and mercantile
houses; the rope and cordage
used annually in this state
alone amounts to such con-
siderable sum that manufacturing
them at home instead of sending the pur-
chase money elsewhere is a step in the
onward march of Texas progress by no
means contemplate. The company will
furnish these pamphlets, giving full and
thorough instructions concerning jute cul-
ture, to those applying, and to the farm
ers OF Parker county it proposes to fur
nish seed and machinery free of cost, an
offer that will doubtless be accepted by
many. In 8 short time Texas will not
only furnish her own peopleithis commod-
ity, but will be prepared to extend her
trade and furnish the trade elsewhere,
while in many sections of the state the
one crop idea will be exploded and the
long reign of King Cotton will be brought
to an end.

TIE DECISIONS OF HOPE.

From the tone of the Journal of United
Labor it would appear that the chances
for settlement of the Reading strike
were not increased, and that the strug-
gle between the dollars and the stomachs
would terminate adversely to the latter.
The Journal is usually conservative and
plain, but in discussing the situation in
dulges in ssnguine hopes that have al
Iured and deluded mankind since the
foundations of the world were laid. At
ter quoting the arguments Of capital, the
Journal says; "The memorable logic of
events will sweep all such sophistry sway
and the blazing brightness Of the wisdom
of the Man of Calvary will enlighten and
emancipate the world-iAs ye would
that others should do unto you, do ye
even so unto them.'" There are few who
would not hail with Joy the arrival of
such 8 time. The religions of all the
world have endesvored 70 teach the dec
trine of the Man of Calvary in this re-
spect, for centuries before His mission
on earth was completed; but it is not
clear that any considerable success mas
been the reward of the efforts made, nor
dc we see any indications to warrant the
belief that the looked for time isany near
er at.hand now than it was 1000 years
ago. Man is selfish ANIMAL and
always has been. He preys upon ali
other animals and upon everything on
earth and under the waters, not except
ing his weaker fellow. He EFFORTS from
the Esoil sustenance, from the forests
shelter, from the seas their inhabitants
and, burrowing deep into her bowels,
from the earth her hidden treasures. he
has beautiful theories for the Sunday
school and the home circle and humane
theorems "to civiliZe barbarous natures"
just as long as his self interest is not as
sailed, but in the practical affairs Of life
he leaves these gossamer fancies behind
him, and as the saying is, 'goes in to
win" As the Journal says, it may be
that: "Men die, systems die, nations
die, but the eternal justice of God reigns
supreme forever" We all know that
some of this is true and hope it sll is, but
of Whist benefit to its constituents is the
statement that "with abiding faith in that
Justice whatever of temporary trisl msy
be endured, we know that victory will
come in the end and the toiler will be
free?" These dreams and yearnings, while
they honor the heart from which they come,
are too vague, impractical and visionary
for the meterless prose Of every day life.
1t is yirtuous weakness ordinarily to
"indulge in the illusions OF hope"-to
long and look for the good time coming,
to be hopeful and beautiful, but 1t is not
as beneficial as sturdy and sensible dis
position OF the present. ssVictory win
come and the toiler will be free?n This

is an old conceit, the offspring of tender
ness az ID hope. What Robert Buchanan
SAWS of his "OIi Politician:
But, patience, she. coming said ne.
Courage boys! Wait and see,
Freedoms aheadr


Is not merely the stray SAYING
of one man, bu. the picture
Of that strange quality in hu-
man nature which makes us look through
the binding storms or murky mists Of
the present to q brighter day; Just as
most people think Of the "good old
times" The blessings of the present
are forever miuimized and rendered con-
temptible by familiarity and those of the
future magnifed by glowing snticipa-
items. The occupant Of the meanest
howell can disindividuslize himself and
enjoy, in day dresws, the iuKaries OF the
wealthy. The ''some one" who was al
ways on the way to make
fine lady Of the little dolls
dressmaker has his auxiliary in va
rious forms. The lash OF oppression now
being applied to the backs of these "pro-
tected" lsbcrers increases their dissatis-
faction with present environments, and
their pathetic lopgings for that "better
day" swell out in mournful cadences.
The propugner Of labor should not en-
courage the delusion. He shall teach and
preach seli-reliance and strength for the
present time and inculcate the doctrine
that life is merely what 1t is made.
These roseste drafts drawn by the imagl-
nation upon future bliss will never be
honored. Men who have to toll will
never enjoy the millennium, and those
who toll for great corporations may ex
pect continual struggle.

THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY - February,
Houghton, Mi1in anu Company, Boston.
Among those writers who claim to be
unsppreciEted by The masses is George
Me edith, who has cen whiting poetry
ard fiction since 1858 If tie object OF
writing is to mystify, and not 20 be under
stood by the public, he has in some de-
gree claim to the pace assigned Brown
ing and Lsndor. George Parsons Lathrop
has, in the February number of thi,
monthly, made careful review Of the
writings Of Mr.. Mered tn, and gives Just
CT ticism on b S methods, compls ting his
estimste Of him by assigning to him
ground between resllsts and rom.nticists.
"The Second Son" is concluded, the
Japanese story of "Yone Santon culmi-
mates in the marriage Of the fair Jap. snd
Charles Egsert Craddock is contributing
one of er characteristic stories, 1.-THE
Despot of Broomsedge Cove"
No small part of the good work done
by monthl!es like the Atlantic is that OF
bringing to the notice of those who are
busy in the business OF life pure
gems culled from the ri h treasure
houses of ancient drama. Scholars are
familiar with Euripldes bat 1t is to such
critics as Mr. Lawton that the common
people are indebted for glimpses Of their
brightness. The article, "Medes of
Euripides" is full of quotations from
this great tragedian who wrote $50 years
B. G. and yet portrays SO faithfully the
great drama Of human life. Listen to
this utterance Of Medea, true of woman
in all ages:
This trouble unforeseen bsfallipg me
Has crushed my soul; and since the grace OF
life
Is wholly lost, 1 long to perish, friends
For he who was my all-thou kuoweet we'll
My husband is revealed most base of men.
OF al created things endowed with soul
And sense, we women are the wretchede.t;
Who, first, With overpus of gold must buy
Our lord. and take master 10 ourselves.
Entered on novel ways and customs, each
Must needs divine. II che has never learned,
How best to I've with him she weds.
A N an when vext with those within his home,
Goes forth and frees his heart Of weariness
Betaking him to corn fades, or friend,
While we may look but to one single soul.

The song Of poet may lodge in the
heart of e friend, but "SoDgs Without
Words" have brought their divinely gift
ed author Mendlessohn into the inner
chamber of the hearts of ali, who have
listened to their magical sweetness; so
strong has been the hold of these en-
trancing strains that the personality Of
the great composer has become mex
pressibly dear, and Mr.. Apthrop has done
9 good work in familiarizing an apprecia-
tive public with the simple life of this
musical genius as is portrayed in his let
tiers to his friend Moschelles as well as
the sketches Of his pencil, that show him
to be no mean artist in other departments
of art. The selections from the matter
submitted show the writer's iudg-
ment aside from that Of musical criti-
cism, in which he is pre-eminent. Read.

Students Of physiology cannot fail to be

It was the Prince Torlonia, who had sn
income OF nearly $4,000 day. The prop
erty was left to his daughter and grand
sou, and it comprised some of the oldest
estates OF Italy. While in Genoa few
years ago l WAS told story OF s poor
man who had made million in the corn
trade there, and il is said that one of
Torlonia's ancestors began life as ped
Ter. His father made fortune IN the
war of Napoleon, and it is said that the
Prince did crest good with his money.
He had at one time the tobacco monop-
oily In Italy, and he Was q banker Of wide
influence. He gave bslls &C which tbs
visitors were expected to tip the servants
and Torlonis's enemies used TO say that
these tips were turned into the rich bapk;
er's treasury. However this may beSx
is certain that the Prince was one oftle
most charitable OF the rich men off1faly
and that he is still greatly incurred in
Rome.
Speaking of charity see that Sir Din
shaw Manockiee Petit, Parsee million
aire OF Bombay, has given away s1,000,-
900 in twenty years, snd inst he is about
to establish female college there at the
cost Of $4,000. This man made his
money out OF cotton, and his torture
swelled rapidly during the civil war in
the United States. He is the W. ". Cor
coran of the east, snd he WAS knighted
on accounted OF his charity. Another
Indian millionaire was Jsydowiee, who
cied lately, leaving an immense fortune
to his grandson only eight years OF age,
and Dhuleep Singh, however well OF he
may be now, has been very wealthy.
A number of the rich men OF the United
States are foreigners and there is China
man at Laporte, CAL, who Is said to be
worth 1000. 900. All Lin Sin, the rich
es. Cainaman In San Francisco, is q mil
lionaire. and there is Russian in Cali
fornia who is worth million. As TO the
