The Natural Resources of the South.


BY the census statistics the mortal
ity among whites for the census year
1880 was IA "a per 1000 for the whole
United States, including the South;
and for the southern states alone from
Maryland TO Louisiana inclusive il
was but 14.04 per 1000. BY the best
of all demonstrations, therefore, the
South is proving the salubrity of her
climate, the fertility of her soil, tho
extent of her natural resources, and
her fitness for the support of a large
population. An empire in extent, her
lands arc still not onc-half occupied.
Her popula ion per square mile aver
ages about onc-third that of the aver
age northern state, and but onc-ifth
that of the moro populous ones. The
sole condition which now prevents a
large immigration, both from abroad
and from the northwestern states,
from taking advantage of the oppor-
tunitios open in the South,is ignorance
'oo1Tt nc 81 ( s&a!ion. Such ignorance can
not be of long duration.
Briefly, there is not elsewhere upon
the globe a territory open TO the
Anglo Saxon race, with such varied
ana great resources and such propi-
tious and easy conditions of life and
labor, SO abundantly supplied with
rivers, harbors, and with lines of
railroad transportation, or SO well To-
Gated TO command the commerce of
both hemisphcres. The prophecy of
what our people will make Of these
advantages in the strugg for COM
mcrcial supremacy among the nations
of the earth is but family written in
what has already been done, under
adverse conditions, by each section
working alone. Now their united
strength will DO brought TO bear on
the easiest part of the problem. The
most progressive race on carth-tho
leaders of the world i'll science, in in
vcnticl, in wealth, in energy, and in
entcrprise--will here develop the
greatest natural resources under the
most favorable conditions possible.

Ingenious Indian Basket Makers,

Tho Tarratincs, or Penobscot In
dians, who live OH an island in tho
river q dozen miles above Bangor,
Me-, are tho most ingenious of all
basket makers, and 10 chemist has
produced brighter colors than those
with which the children of the forest
adorn their wares. The baskets arc
made of thin strips of ash and maple,
tho latter for rims and handles, and
much of the work IS interviewer with
fragrant sweet grass from tho salt
marshes along the coast. Alder is
stepped for pale red dye, wlitc birch
bark for bright rcd, cedar boughs for
green, sumac for yellow. sW.l,t.. ,m aplo
bark for black. a light soflIfHf6i"' ~
maple yields purple instead of black.
Some of the Indian basket makers are
very prosperous. One family of four
cleared $1,000, in addition to their liv-
ing expenses, last year, and in the
parlor of their hou.c is Brussels
carpet, upholstered furniture, a S400
piano, various expensive ornaments,
lace curtains, Catholic books and pic
lures, and a set of Coopcr's novels.
There are many lazy and drunken In
dams, but the goo Indians control
the affairs of the tribe, and are re-
spectcd by the white people.

No General European Famine Possible

Improved facilities for .ransporta-
ton arc the greatest prcventatiycs of
famine, aud SO a general European
famine could never occur again, but
thcro was ono in 1916. There have
been many in England. In 739 the
hunger extended throughout England,
Wales and Scotland, and again in 1923
and 923, the last named disaster last
ing four years. In 1887, the twenty
first year of William L., famine again
afflicted England, and in 1893 pcstilcn-
tial fever was produced by famine in
both England and France, and lasted
three years. Other English famines
occurred in 1851, 1915 (whcn the
people were reduced to eating horses,
dogs and vermin), 1885, 1888 (whcn
fern root bread was eagerly de-
vourcd), 1865. 1913, 1895 aud 1901

A MiIIiOnaire's Son.

1t is somewhat rare, declares the
New Orleans Timcs-Democrat, to find
a millionaire's son devoted TO his
books rather than his pleasures. There
is one such in the house of Wander
bilt, and the son of G. p. Huntington,
described as a "superb specimen of
physical manhood, with a towering
height of six feet four" devoles eight
hours a day TO study. He is especially
Interested in Arabic, and is said to
have the finest existing library of
books in that language, a statement
that is of very doubtful accuracy. Mr..
Huntington is credited with an ambi-
ton to write a history of the Moors in
Spain.

Trees.

Trees grown from seed planted
where each tree is to remain are
known to be harder and more thrifty
than those that have been trans,
planted. To have proper varieties,
however, the young trees must be
grated o~budded while standing in
the ground. Some of the CRAFTS or
buds may fail, but if so the tree may
be replaced by Others that have been
grated or budded in the nursery.

Unity.

A sombre pine is stirred
BY the rccrcant wind on high,
And out OF its gloom, Ike word,
Breaketh q bird to the sky.
The sky speaks truth through star;
The star seeks the heart Of the SCI;
To the sea strives a river afar;
In the river a brook laughs free,
And down to the brook doth CLEAN
The thread of a mountain spring,
Born IN the shade of that pine trees dream
Aud brushed by the birds soft wing.

Cleveland, and the only one in which an effort

fight for Hill, but apparently without sue.
