FRESH PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTS.

THE word honeymoon" Is derived
from tho German, and has its signifi-
canoe from tho fact hat tho Germans
formerly drank mead-a sweet liquid
made of honcy-for thirty days after
the wedding.
TIE name Johnny calie"is said to be
derived from Journey cake" because
cmigrGnts journeying from Now En-
gland to tho West were obliged to bake
their Indian meal cakes in the ashes OF
their camp fires.
SOME religious journals are printing a
paragraph to tho effect that tho late
Prof. Hitchcock, of this city, hold that
tobacco was known to the ancients and
that its name was derived from Bacchus,
the god Of wine, says tho New York
Tribune. The weed was offered to Bac-
chus as $ votiyo offering, and as the
dative case of Bacchus in Greek is 'To
Baccho," tho narcotic gradually got
that name, OF course any scholar will
at oncc see that DR.. Hitchcock was too
good a Grecian to havo fathered such an
absurd ctymology. AS a matter Of fact
tho late President Hitchcock, Of Am
herst, made tho suggestion in question
as IL bit Of pleasantly in a humorous
book which he noe published.

he Abore suspition,

II Is q gratifying feeling among many
that their lives, are above suspicion. Yet
how many good people on account OF cir.
t~umstahtial surroundings have had the
finger Of unjust suspicion directed
coward them. Carbuhcles, tnyieldinS
sores, pimples on the face, rough skin hay
ing an eruptive appearance, etc. are In the
eyes of so many regarded susplciously as
Indicating the presence of some contagious
blood disease, and pointed questions asked
that ARE productive of considerable annoy
hnce. These skin blemishes and erupttve
tendencies of course find their origin in the
blood, but not necessarily tho result OF con-
tagion. The blood may have become inn
pure on account of colds and exposure, JIM
proper food, weak digestion, urinary dis
orders, etc. However, 1t is well to remove
the unnatural condition Of the blood and the
flesh by n prompt use of DR., John Bulls
S%arsaparilla. 1t regulates affairs internal.
" and externally, beauties the skin and
restores impaired organic functions to their

tin one Of our suburbs" says the
Cincinnati Times-Star, "a prayerAmeet-
ing was held the other evening, the
regular mid4week meeting. A mother
had taken her SON, a LITTLE fellow OF
eight with her. 1t was a pretty warm
evening and the thild finally got rost-
less, but the mother succeeded in quiet
ing him somewhat At last the services
heured the close, but unfortunately the
lohgest-winded deacon in the church
volunteered an address to the throne OF
grace. So he prayed and no prayed and
he prayed. The poor boy stood 1t az
long as he could, but at last human nat
ure gave way and ho cried out; Say
amer, man; that's a plenty! The sud
denness with which that prayer came to
a close was marvellous"

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made when
DR.. Sherman named his great remedy Prick
ly Ash BITTERs; but it is presumed that at
that time all remedies for the blood, etc,
were called Bitters. Had he called itPrick-
;y Ash "Regulator,n "Curative,'' or almost
ANYTHING but Bi,Grs. it undoubtedly would
have superseded all other preparations OF
similar character. The name Bitters Is mis-
leading; it is purely q medicine, and cannot
be used us o beverage.

One the most remarkable utter
ances made at the recent State con-
vention of temperance people at
Des Moines, Iowa, was the decla-
ration of the outgoing Governor
Larrabee that his experience as
governor of the State had made
him favorable to prohibition. He
said that he had formerly opposed
it as impracticable, but that in
eighty counties in the State the
jails had been emptied, and the
number of persons in the State
penitentiary reduced by one-half
during his administration, and that
court and people we're agreed that
the cause of this was prohibition.
He said that the taxes were less
and the markets better, and that
observing all these things in the
administration of the affairs of the
State he could not help bat become
a Prohibitionist. Governor Larra-
bee Was distrusted by the temper
ance people when elected, lest his
known opposition to prohibition at
the time of It's submission should
lead To the use of his position as
governor to belittle and defeat the
law. But his conversion to prohi-
bition while administering law
contrary to his personal convictions
is not less a compliment to the
character of the law than to the
sincerity and candor Of the convert.

Jute Culture.

| Charles Johnson, of Algiers, La.
sends the following letter to the
Manufacturers Record, Baltimore
"In the culture of jute q warm
humid climate is essential to sue
cess. 1t will grow upon compar-
atively dry uplands or in flooded
valleys, but it prefers a moist sandy
loan. Very dry or very sandy soil
is adapted to this tillage. The
land intended for this crop must
be thoroughly broken up until the
soil is well pulverized. The seed
is sown broadcast from 15 to 20
pounds to the acre. The time OF
sowing seed varies with the condi-
tion of the soil and climate. March
and April are the best months for
sowing, but it can even be sown as
late as July, depending upon an
early or late spring. If it be a late
spring, l would say April and May
would be the best months.
"Jute requires no cultivation
after the seed is sown. It will
outgrow grass or any other foreign
plant. 1t natures In IL to IA weeks,
growing to the heigth of 10 to IL
feet, and sometimes to the heighth
of 2l feet. 1t is cut while the
plant is beginning to blossom, be-
canse the fibre is then glossy. After
flowerage the fiber becomes woody
and loses much of its commercial
value. The yield of fibre is be-
tween 5000 and 1000 pounds to the
acre, and of seeds $4,000 or 1900
pounds to the acre. The market
value OF the fibre is between 3 and
6 cents per pound. That used in
making bagging is the lower end of
the stalk and is termed jute butts,
about foot long. The top part
is mixed with other fibres and is
used in making stair carpeting,
rugs and low priced broadcloth.
'eThe way / have treated the
fibre was to decorticate it first, SO
as to get all the woody matter and
leaves from the bark; then / put
the bark into wooden tank filed
with clear water torot. This takes
nine to fifteeE days. After this
process is over, / put the fibre into
washing machine. After wash
ing / dry the fibre, and then it is
ready for market.
'The farmers of the South are
making a howl over the covering
of their cotton. This is their own
fault. Why do they not go into
the raising of jute, and not be de-
pending upon foreign nation for
their covering of the cotton? They
could save the S5.000,000 which it
now takes to cover the cotton crop.
They could also make $25, 600, 900
or $50, 100000 i'll raising the jute.
It is hundred times easier to raise
and prepare for market than cotton.
"They can have their cotton
covered with okra fibre, Of which
there is enough trampled under
their feet annually to cover the en-
tire cotton crop With okra they
can secure the fruit first, and then
the fibre. Okra will produce about
the same amount of fibre to the
acre as jute. | have found okra
ten times easier to get the fibre
from than jute, on account of its
rotting so much quicker than jute.
] think it would make a bagging
superior to either jute or cotton"
