BREAKFAST IN BED.
Tbs Is the Way In Which to Enjoy the
Leisht of Luxury.

Tbs Ts the Way In Which to Enjoy the
Leight of Luxury.
There is rot hing which gives one quite
tie sal2o feeling of luxury and afflu-
ence as broal.,4. .lsting in bed-that is,
unless one is forced to do it. Then it
seems merely an annoyance. But when
tho woman whom unkind fate an do
nestle or business duties usually force
to be up with the lark can lie in bed
and have a daintily appointed breakfast
tray brought up to her she feels that
the final JOY of sybaritism is hers.
Sunday morning is the best time for
the daughter of toll to indulge in this
luxurious habit. If she is a churchgo-
ing woman, she may manage by having
breakfast at 9:45. If she desires to be
both pious and lazy, there are those
who compromise by reading morning
service in bed, and their method is per-
haps not to be despised.
The first step toward enjoying this
luxury is to have ones warm bath, hair
brushing and the like. Then slipping
on bath robe or dressing sack, the
seeker after luxury should slip back into
bed, adjust her pillows comfortably and
proceed to enjoy her breakfast. It
should be an unusually dainty one and
served with the most appetizing regard
for appearances. The tray should be
covered with a delicately embroidered
cloth. The china pot in which the coffee
comes up should be as pretty as coffee
pots can be, the sugar basin and cream
jug the very perfection of daintiness.
There should be little glass bowl Of
mignonette or violets, or couple of car
nations, or even some fragrant green
geranium stalks. A bunch of grapes,
duskily purple or pink and opal, coffee
clear as amber and fragrant as only cof-
fee can be, toast, slice of bacon and
an egg or eggs boiled form breakfast
At to serve on the pretty tray.
If the woman who breakfasts in bed
will proceed to spend the rest of the
day there, sleeping when she can, read
ing little, entirely undisturbed by the
cares Of her household, she will ward
off the approach Of hideous old age half
a decade. Philadelphia Press

II am getting to be the most bare
faced and versatile liar on earth, +" said
the bachelor, land it's all ON account
of two little innocent babies. Two Of
my friends at the Office have recently
been invested with the honor Of pater-
nity-both boys. Prouder papas you
never saw. One Of them. Jones, is an
amateur photographer, and the other
day he took picture Of his baby and
brought it to the Office.
''Of course you know how intelligent
. child of one month looks" continued
the bachelor, stroking his bald head
with the air Of oonnoisseur in infan-
BY. "but the boys in the Office were
loyal They swore it was the brightest
looking kid they had ever seen and that
1t was the image Of Jones.
If it had been any one else's child,
Jones would have knocked somebody
down for the insult, but he took it as
great compliment and stuck the pic
ture up in frame on his desk.
, This was too much for Smith-the
other papa. He hasn't any camera of
his own, so he got young man who
lives next door to come in and take his
rbaby's picture, and he brought it down
to the Office as an opposition to Jones'.
Really I'm sorry for Smith if his baby
looks like that picture, but l rather
think the amateuc artist ibeled the
child and made it the monster it az,
pears.
:s'The picture was not focused prop
erly. 1t represents Smith in the back
ground holding on his knee mammoth
infant nearly as big as he is The ba-
by's hands are outstretched toward the
camera and look as though they might
belong to Mr.. Fitzsimmons or Mr.. Cor
bett. Smith thought it was beautiful,
and when some one suggested that the
boy looked just exactly like him he or
deret! drinks all around and put the pic
ture up on his desk as further opposi
ton to Jones'.
every time I come into the Office I
have to stop and admire those pictures,
and I'm acquiring great self control by

or Smith says, And still you will re-

Ram1e Culture.

Much has been said and written in the
South recently about ramie. The plan
tiers of Louisiana, when the sugar bounty
was taken from them, thinking the
sugar industry would no longer prove
profitable, turned their attention to an
investigation of the ramie. 1t was hoped
and expected that the government would
establish an experimental station to
demonstrate, if possible, the profit of it's
culture in this country. The Secretary
of Agriculture has decided, however,
that it will be impossible to establish
this station at present.
Some of the people of Florida have
also, from time to time, considered the
advisability Of engaging in the industry.
The following article on the cultivation
ana preparation of same in foreign coun-
tries, which we find in an exchange,
may be of interest to these:
Though China has always been the
chief producer of ramie, other countries
have attempted it's cultivation. More
than a quarter of century ago sys-
tematic endeavor was made to introduce
a general cultivation of this plant into
India, and the effort was so successful
thatin 1865 India exported to England
100000 900 pounds of ramie. But the
aversion of the natives to the growth OF
the new staple and their ignorance of
intelligent methods of extracting the
fibre, proved to be insuperable obstacles
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-04-03

been asserted that the products OF lOO,-
900 spindles would not meet the wants
of France alone. A few years ago,
Senator Feray publicly stated that the
manufactures of France were ready to
make contracts for supply of 100000
600 pounds of ramie per month.
Ia consequence of its urgent need of
more fibre, one of the largest textile or
CARNATIONS in France offered to form
companies in our Southern states, COLI
tribute liberal portion of the requisite
capital, build mills, equip them with
their own decorticators and buy at stipu-
lated prices all the ramie our Southern
planters raised. But this great oppor-
tunity to establish an industry which
would largely increase the fibrous re-
sources of the nation was not improved,
and the French manufacturers, disap-
pointed in their expectations of obtain
| ing ramie from the United States, are
now importing the fibre from China.
have discouraged the culture of ramie.
Frenchmen have secured larger returns
by importing the fibre from China and
devoting their lands to the production of
the grape.
The largest ramie factory in France is
located at Avignon. It's proprietors are
A. P. Favier & Co. The mill does not
produce tissues, but simply makes the
thread which the looms of other manu-
facturerS weave into fabrics. The pres
ent price of thread VARIES according to
quality, from 81 cents to S1.1O a pound.
For paper making ramie furnishes a
fibre of unsurpassed excellence. The bills
of the Bank of France are made chiefly
of this material. Favier & Go. have
contracted to keep on hand d constant
supply of $50, 900 pounds for the use of
this bank. The average price of the pulp
is IS cents pounds. The paper made
from it has strength and fbrOus struC
ture which greatly embarrass the art Of
the counterfeiLer. The numb of men
employed in the works of M. Favier is
about 200, and the value of the manu-
featured product is nearly 100000
year. In 1892 the company paid it's
stockholders dividend Of 81 per cent
and the prospects of still larger profits in
1898 were then highly encouraging. But
it is quite probable that the industrial
depression which has prevailed in
Europe, as we'll as America, has disap-
pointed the expectations which were en-
tertained at the beginning of that year.
The reports of the operations of this
company in 1898 have not yet reached
the United States.
These facts relative to the manufac-
tory at Avignon are derived from the
consular report of last November.
Sanctioned by official authority and
based upon practical experience, the
statements are both trustworthy and
suggestive. The experiments of the
French teach the American planters that
it would be unthrifty husbandry to cul-
tivate ramle if any more profitable crop
could be raised in it's place; and they
also demonstrate the futlity of attempt
ing, without the aid of mechanical
appliances, to compete with the Chinese
in the deoortication of the stalks.
