Painted Priestesses In Quaint Garments
Performing the Sun Dance.

Painted Priestesses in Quaint Garments
Performing the Sun Dance.
A group of young priestesses are in
waiting to repeat the measures danced
by Uzume before. the Sun Goddess cave
in prehistoric times. The little priest
esses are all between the ages of nine
and twelve, as timid, gentle and harm
less little things as the deer that often
stray in and watch them. Their dress
is the old, old custom of the imperial
court, picturesque lower garment or
divided skirt of the brightest cardinal
red silk that half covers the white
kimono, with square sleeves and
pointed neck filed up high with alter.
nate folds of red and white.
When they dance they wear over this
loose kimonos of white gauze, painted
with the wistaria crest Of the Kasuga
temple, the front of the gauzy garment
half covering the red shirt, and the
back pieces trailing on the mats. Their
faces are plastered SO thickly with
white paint that they lose all express
sion, and following the old fashion,
their eyebrows are shaved and two
tiny black dots high up in the middle
of their foreheads take their place.
With lips heavily rouged the counten-
ance is more mask than any thing
human. The hair is gathered together
at the back of the neck and tied with
loops of gold paper, and then folded in
soft white paper, allowed to hang down
the back. Long hair-pins, with clusters
of wistaria and red camellia, are thrust
across the top of the head, and fastened
so that they stand out like horns over
the forehead.
In detail the costume is not pretty,
but in its general effect it is singularlY
bright and picturesque. Takis Letter.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.


The search after some substitute for
jute bagging. which would enable
Southern planters to thwart the
schemes Of the Bagging Trust, has been
prosecuted with energy, but until yes
terday apparently with no success. It
was reserved to New Orleans to present
the first practical substitute in the
shape of an economical and strong cot
ton-bagging that promises to serve all
the purposes of the best jute covering.
In our local columns will be found a
full report of the enterprise of the Lane
Mills of this city, which has resulted
in turning out an article that has al
ready been subjected with success to
all the tests and rough usages that the
ordinary covering of cotton bales has
to undergo.
The manufacturer OF this articl Q
claims that it is economical, and will
afford even more protection to the sta
pie than jute itself, and is besides, less
liable to catch fire. The cotton cloth
yard, but is about as wide as the jute
article, resists the hook as well, and
suffers no damage in COMPRISING.
The Importance of this innovation
to the Southern planter is incalculable,
as no sooner will its merits become
generally known when numbers of cot
ton mills will manufacture it, thus
affording effectually ready weapon to
kill the Bagging Trust, which promised
to deprive Southern farmers of several
millions of dollars of their well-earned
profits. The Lane mills deserve the
thanks of the whole cotton industry.
1t is claimed that the cotton fabric
presented for use in covering cotton
bales in place of jute or gunny cloth,
is less combustible than is the other
article. At any rate this is consider
to further lessen the combustibility of
this cotton covering it can be done eff
fectively and cheaply by wetting the
cloth in bath of alum dissolved in
drawn through such bath and rolled
on spindles, the excess of moisture
being squeezed out in the act of reel
ing. If it were desirable to con-
duct such an operation on a
large scale, machinery of the simplest
nature only would be required, and the
entire process would add but a trifle to
the cost.
If it be found practicable and profit
able to use a cotton fabric for all bag
ging purposes, the consumption of our
great staple would be enormously in
creased to the manifest benefit of our
own planters and spinners. Here is the
promise of home trade worth millions
of money, and If it should result in Gre
ating such a revolution in the methods
of packing cotton, then the Begging
Trust will prove q benefaction instead
OF a curse.-M. o. Pcayune.
