The Henlp Industry.

Kentucky has heretofore been our
principal hemp producing State, but
the constantly increasing use of fibre for
various purposes, and especially for
binding twinc, seems to demand for it
n wider area of cultivation than it has
previously occupied. In the last annual
report of the Secretary of Agriculture it
is said there is no reason why hemp cul-
turc should not be extended over dozen
States and the product used in manufac-
lures which now employ thousands of
tons of imported FIBRE In the manu-
facturc of binder-twine alone there is an
outlet for upward of fifty thousand tons
of hemp annually. Manila is no better
than hemp, and sisal quito inferior.
When the market for binder-twinc was
first created American hemp fitted the
demand-thc more carefully prepared
article, straight or dressed hemp, being
employed. About ten years ago the dc.
mand increased to point beyond the
supply, and to meet the exigency of the
case other fibres were employed. Manila
and sisal came into use, and rs the con-
sumption of binder-twine grew to its
present enormous proportions these tibres
held their position and hemp was rele-
| gated to the background
Extensive manufacturers of harvesting
machinery arc quoted as saying that
there is no fibre in the world better
suited to this use than American hemp.
The usual course of procedure in Ken
lucky in raising hemp on blue grass sod
Is to pillow about four inches deep in the
fall or early spring. SOW about the time
to plant corn; SOW broadcast thirty-three
pounds of seed per acre, having first
prepared the secd-bed thoroughly, aud
cover by dragging with the harrow rs for
any of the small grains. About one hun.
dred days are required for the crop to
mature. The fact that sisal hemp can
be grown in this country was satisfac-
tori!y demonstrated many years ago, but
the frost line sharply marks the northern
limit of its cultivstion.-MeD York

LlrrL-a THINGS.

A good-by kiss is q little thing,
3 With your hand on tho door to go,
But it takes the venom out OF the sting
or a thougtless word or cruel fling
That you made an hour ago.
a kiss of greeting is sweet and rare,
After the toll of the day,
But 1t snootbs the burrows out OF the care,
Aud lines on the forehead you once called
fair, s,ls.s
In the years that havo flown away.
IT'S little thing to say, "You are kind, y
II love you, my DEAR" each night,
But it sends thrill through the heart, I
find;
For love is tender, as love is blind,
AS we climb life's rugged height.
We starve each other for loves carezs
We take, but we do not give,
1t seems SO easy some soul to bless
But we dolo love grudgingly, less and less,
Till tits bitter and hard to live.

WIFE OF THE roEr rENSYsoS.

Frederick Dalman, in the ladies'
Home Journal, pays a gallant tribute to
Lady Tennyson, the wife OF the laureate.
She is, he writes, entirely unknown to
Epglish society, excepting the villagers
of Farringford and Aldworth. Few
others have so much rs seen her face or
shaken her by the hand. On that June
morning in 1850, when she joined her
lot with that of Arthur Tennysou, she
need not have been prophecies, or the
daughter OF one, to have foretold her
husbands greatness. No wife could
have carried the doctrine of coverture
further; no wife have contcnted herself
with complete self-etfacement as regards
the world in which Lord Tenpyson fills
SO important place. Pilgrims, like
Emerson and Hawthorne, to the poets
residence in the fair isle and sunny Sus-
sex have had scarcely anything to say
concerning her. Lady Tenuyson has
been content to remain in the back
ground, an admiring auditor of her hus.
tand's animated conversation. 1t has
been said that clever men should not
marry clever women, and if that means
that genius should not be united to
genius, talent to talent, the aphorism is,
perhaps, perfectly true. But the woman
who mates with man of genius and
finds martial happiness, says Mr.. Dol
man, must have lifted herself somewhat
above the commonplace to become her
husbands sympathizer and conHdantc.
In ministcring to great poets daily
needs Lady Tennyson has exhibited quail
tiles such US no mere drawing room dow
ager or society butterfly could have
shown. She has fed his esthetic feel
Jugs, studied his sense of .hc beautiful.
In the large mansion near Freshwater, as
we'll rs in the summer house on the hill
overlooking Haslcmere, there is that
sweet calm and harmonious beauty
which pleases the poets temperament
and which only educated taste aud dcft
workmanship of a wife can produce. In
the white stone house, with its ivied
walls and howcr-bedccked terraces,
equally with the little Gothic structure
that Mr.. Knowles, the editor of the
Nineteenth Century, designed, the traces
of Lady Tennyson's care are visible in
drawingroom and library, in smoking
room and study. Every meerschaum
pipe, every oaken stick of the masters is
rcligiously guarded from sacrileyious
hands. With this selfsamc spirit of de-
votion she has inspired all her children.
So far as the most intimate friends con
say there has never been the slightest
rift i'll the Tennyson household during
its forty years of union.

A SHADE HAT.

Green straw is intertwincd with pith
to form shade hat for the beach. Large
green rose leaves with thorns and stems
are raised in centre of deep red roses,
and these are yelled with soft brown silk
tullc; but new Or than these is Il knotted
straw, with flouncc of dark cream COL
ored guipure lace caught in at the crown
with black velvet, so that heading
stands up round it. Above this, at the
back, where the brim Is turned up, high
loops of black velvet are bound together
by Il silver buckle studded with sapphire
blue stones. A pretty bonnet shown at
the same importing house is of green
rushes, with rose mortc velvet as strings.
and an outstanding bow in front. 1t is
wreathed with roses, which come under
the generic name of damask, but are
tinged with that rare shad of purple red
which predicts decay. -MoD York Post.

applied for admission, that after a year
or so tine scheme was abandoned, and
was not attempted until 1858. In 177I
the first academy for women was opened
by Moravilns in Pennsylvania; in 1889
the first seminary for women in New
England was inaugurated in New Bed

The way the expenses pile up against
the municipality Of London makes this
city look like small town, says the New
York AdrertiSer. One district in London
has just incurred expenses upward of
10000 for improving the sanitary
conditions of houses occupied by the
poorer classes. The mere widening OF
the sewers is to cost ;S12, 500, 900, and IL
proposition to extend the sewers to the
sea will involve an outlay of $50, 900, 600.
An improved water supply is also con-
templatcd, which will cost $50, 600, 600
more. The only American city which
can lay any claims to rivalry in this mat.
ter is Philadelphia, where they have
sunk Sl2, 100000 i'll u City, Building,
and it is still very far from completion.
