ssamie May EsevOlutiOnize the
Trade.

Many Nations Have Sought to Utilize 1t, and
Now Piladelphians Will Try Their Hand
The following, evidently clipped
from Philadelphia paper, has been
handed us for publication. Is this to
give the Southern farmer another
chance? Read and see:
Out upon the Landreths' seed farm
at Bloomsdale, above Bristol, are
now being cultivated three acres OF a
species of Chinese plant which, it is
believed, may in time produce rev.
olution in Americas textile indus
try. The plant is known as ramie,
and after it has been decorticated,
degummed and bleached, it is said to
produce fibre superior to any vege-
table fibre, and occupying midway
position between flax and silk.
OBSTACLES HAVE BEEN OVERCOME.
Twenty years ago the Landreths
raised an experimental crop Of the
plant with eminent success, but so
many difficulties lay in the way of it's
manufacture that it was not contin-
ued. Now, however, there is reason
to believe that machinery has been
discovered that will render it's pro-
duction entirel y practicable.
A company has been recently
formed to develop and manufacture
machinery that shall properly decor
ticate the plant. The invention of
Philadelphia, whose name is with
held, patented a dozen years ago, is
now for the first time being put in
tangible form, and within a month
the company hopes to have the ma
chine complete and tested, the Ian
dreths' crop furnishing material for
the test.
MANY NATIONS HAVE TRIED RAMIE.
The value Of this plant has been
long appreciated in various parts of
the world, but lack Of proper ma
chinery has prevented its extensive
use. In China the fibre is worked by
hand, which is naturally IA, expensive
process. This fibre is used in large
quantities in France and Belgium,
where it Is woven into q large range
Of materials, such as imitation linen,
tapestry, Irvine, carpet and the like.
Many machines have been invented
IL Europe and several on this side Of
the water for the purpose of decorti-
cation, but they have been 50 far un-
successful. The British Government
has had a standing offer OF $1,000
for the past ten years for satitac-
tory machine Of this nature, and the
French Government, through It's Dc
partmcnt of Agriculture, has offered
$4,000 francs. \ series Of expert
ments with a European machine are
now being conducted with the Paris
Exposition, and the company recently
formed in this country has sent an
expert there to observe the trials.
HOW AND WHERE IT GROWS.
In speaking of the plant, one of the
Landreths said that it would thrive
in any of the cotton-producing States,
and that once established it would
remain twenty years without replant-
ing. The fibre is contained in The
skin of bark, the interior woody mat
ter being worthless. The plant pro-
duces straight stems from 5 to 10
feet in height, according to the soil
and latitude. 1t bears leaves about
the size of mans hand, green on
top and silvery beneath. Mr.. Ian
dreth's crop was planted last April

IRENE qualification, and believed him
self in heaven. This double person.
ality suddenly vanished, but reap
peared in a few minutes. His real
self was undergoing rhythmical
spasms throughout his body; the
double was a marvellous instrument,
producing sounds of exquisite sweet
ness and perfect rhythm. Then sleep
ensucl, and all ended. Upon another
occasion sleep and waking came and
went SO rapidly that they seemed 10 be

II has been the custom 10 attribute
10 women a sentimental conservatism

Their antagonism, il is claimed, is not

Custom is the fetch which the masses
Of women are charged with worship
ing, and undoubtedly the accusation
is true Of the order Of women who are
swayed by emotion and whose judg-
ment has not been trained by educa-
lion and enlarged opportunities. Many
women Of the higher type have given
the subject no thought; others secretly
approve il, but keep silence through
dread Of shocking the prejudices Of
those about them. Some American
women-from dispassionate contem-
plation Of the subject-are earnest adj

minority regarding cremation. But
right IDEAS will not prevail univer-
sally until the costly show grounds

be pest places. Then sanitary influ-
cnces will overpower the sentimental
ignorance which continues the coloniz-
ing Of corpses in graveyards which are
already within the limits Of our cities.

Small Talk.

Small talk is tho small change of
life; there is no getting on without il.
There are times when a little nonsense
is very palatable, and gravity and Sc
d~ateness ought to be kicked down
stairs. A philosopher cuts a poor
figure in a ball room unless he leaves
his wisdom at home. We have met
with men who were too lofty for
small talk. They were above such
trifing; in other words, they were
above making themselves agreeable,
above pleasing and above being
pleased. The world is made up Of tri-
iles, and he who can trihe elegantly
and gracefully is a valuable acquisi-
ton to mankind. He is q Corinthian
