BIRMINGHAM, May l6th.-The
National Convention Of the Ali
ance aud Wheel, to consider the
bagging question, continued in
secret session today. \ propo-
sitiOn was made by representa-
tives Of jute bagging manufact-
urers present, as follows: To sell
for present delivery jute bag
ging at these rates; Il pound
bagging at 81 cents per yard; L
pound bagging at 81 cents; 2
pound bagging at 9s cents; 24
pound bagging at 1O8 cents, or
at less than 5 cents per pound.
Also, that if farmers were not
prepared to take and pay for
bagging now, that they would
hold bagging for them until it
was needed, adding ! Of a cent
per yard for each month. The
jute bagging men claim that at
the price asked for bagging
made Of cottou-12I cents for
cloth weighing : of pound, or
16S cents per pound-that jute
bagging at present prices(5 cents
per pound), is less than ] of the
cost of bagging made of cotton,
and its use will save the planter
at least 81 90 per bale. This es-
innate of the amount saved per
bale is based OH the suppositon,
that the cotton exchanges will
not reduce the existing tare re-
duCtIon for jute bagging.
The convention declined this
proposition.
The following is the full text
Of the resolution reported by
the committee and adopted on
this subject:
"Resolved, That we, from al
the lights before us, recon-
mend to this body the perma-
rent use OF cotton bagging as a
covering for cotton. We fUrth-
er recommend the appointment
of committee of three, their

portionately by the various

secure from purchasers and man.

County Supt. Royal suggests
that the patrons in every COM
munity supplement the public
school money by private sub
scriptions. This is a good idea,
and it is a pity it is not a com
pulsion instead of a suggestion.
1t is a miserable farce n9 a
school where the parents and
pupils interests are not quick
ened by the salty sweat of the
individual brow. If the free
schools are to become a fixity
then we hope the time will
soon come when every school
district, before receiving it's quo
ia Of public money, will be
forced to supplement the a.
mount by raising an equal
amount by private subscription.

the present conditions of the
lands in the South. The lands

to evade their just penalties or to
wrest them from benefcent public

Adulteration OF oil cake and cake.
meal has long been a standing source Of
complaint among English farm rs, and
the evil has become at last SO common
as to be accepted in the trade as una
yoidabie. Standard" linseed cake in
England now contains a large and un-
determined quantity Of foreign seeds.
some OF which are iunoxious, but some
are quite otherwise. It seems as if
American linseed meal is no better, and
the manufacturers can afford to wink
at adulteration-naturally committed.
it is true, by growing weeds with the
flax because the meal sells for enough
to pay for all. Ia fact, the meal is now
the most valuable part Of the product to
the oil mills. Cottonseed cannot be
Rdulterated, for the reasons thai cotton
will not grow among weeds and that
the seods Of weeds cannot be gathered
with the lint, which is picked clean and
free from all sOr.s Of trash - Thus
cottonseed meal should be used in pref
erence To any other oilmeal, as it is pure
and really far better for cows than lin
seed meal, which gives al undesirable
flavor to the butter.

One Cause or Badness.

Cne great cause of badness, in the
opinion of Western knight of the ra-
zor, fsthe habit many people have of
changing the style of hair cutting two
or three times year, or nearly as often.
lie says: "They insist on a short
Pompadour' in the hottest months. a
less pronounced crop in the fall, and
then wear their hair longer as the
weather gets colder, gradually ap-
preaching shave again by the time
the thermometer gets up in the nineties
Now all this may be very comfortable,
but It is very bad for the hair and
scalp. IL is best to wear The hair short
all the year round, brush it freely and
trust to nature for the only really effec-
tive substitute for pomadr."

Pen Picture of Napoleon.

Bourienne, in his memoirs, gives this
picture of Napoleon "BonspaTte had
| beautiful hands. and be was very fond
of them while cOHversing he would
often look at them with an air of self
complacepcy. He also fancied he had
fne teeth, but his pretension to that
advantage was not so well founded as
his vanity on the score o! his hands.
Napoleon always walked while dictat-
ing. He sometimes began while seat
ed, but at the first word he rose. He
began walking in the room where he
was. and walked up and down in it.
This promenade lasted all the time he
was debating. AS be entered into his
subject he experienced sort OF tic"
consisting in a movement of his right
arm. which he twisted. while pulling
with his hand the lining of the cuff of
his coat. Stll, his delivery was not
quickened by this movement, his step
was also slow and measured. EXPIRES,
sions came without effort to render his
thoughts. If they were sometimes in
correct :his very incorrectDess added to
their energy, and always marvellously
depicted to the mind what he tried to
say.
Napoleon seldom wrote himself
Writing was fatigue to him. His
hand could not follow the rapidity of
his conception. His writing was an
assemblsgs of ipdecipheTable characters
without connection. Half of the letters
of each word were deficient. He conid
not read il over himself or would not
take the trouble to do so. II any ex-
planation were asked of him, he retook
his draft, which he tore or threw into
the fire. while he dictated asresh, Civ
ing the same ideas, but with different
expressions and words his spelling was
incorrect, though be new well enough
