AN EVENING WITH BELFAsT's GIFTED YOUNG
LECTURER.

AN EVENING WITH BELFAST'S GIFTED YOUNG
LECTURER.
A recent evening call on Miss Charlotte
Thorndike Sibley was an occasion of rare
enjoyment and one long to be remembered.
Miss Sibley was found in her home, which
for beauty of situation and in the elegance
of it's appointments is an ideal residence.
Those who admire Miss Sibley SO much on
the lecture platform should see her at home,
surrounded by the many interesting souve-
Mrs gathered in the foreign lands which are
the subject of her recent lectures. With an
mated expression and rapid words she
took up article after article and picture after
picture and told interesting anecdotes and
facts about them, until it seemed that we,
too, had stood where she had and looked
upon the scenes she beheld. A table from
Jerusalem with the word in Hebrew on one
OF its octagon sides was perhaps the most
interesting, as it is composed of the following
woods: The border is oak from Hebron
black ebony from Egypt, red almond from
Bethany and yellow balsam from the Jor-
dan. The centre is olivewood from Jerusa-
lem and the legs oak from Bashan. On this
table were relics from the excavations, in
Guiding tear bottle and lamp. One little
vessel had base of the olive wood in the
rough, edged with the bark and bowl of the
polished wood.
The embroidery done by the women of
Armenia, and sold by those connected with
the missions in Beyroot, was very interest
ing to one who had spent many hours in
taking the same kind of stitches in silk de-
signs and weaving thread into like intricate
patterns. One lovely pattern in delicate
shades of silk was beautifully wrought on a
black ground yards in length. And two
small thread lace mats were elegantly done
by some little girls in the mission school.
Other pieces were lovely but these showed
the most patience and skill.
We had listened to Miss Sibley's lecture
and learned much about Jerusalem and its
surroundings, but we learned more by the
descriptions of pictures which wildly told
of humanity in its high and fallen estate
and of woman in particular. Miss Sibey
said she had enjoyed great privileges in see
ing so much of the world, but it makes her
very happy to think that her birth place
and home are in our own lovely land.

Transportation of Products to Market.

Edit03 Florida AgFicuIturtst:
There are but few subject matters
which concern the fruit growers and
gardeners more than that of transporta-
ton to market. The mere item of I'M
due rates (or charges) is not half the
bone Of contention. Quckness of transit
is of more importance, else why do fruit
growers and others so largely use the
express lines? Nor are these two points
the main ones to be looked into.
A friend Of the writer lost all his ship
ment Of marrow squashes by their being
placed on board the northern bound
steamer too near, or over the boiler
room, and where the heat was unfor-
tunately greater than the squashes
could endure. Another party had his
shipment of oranges all frozen en- route
We here find three very essential points
as to satisfactory transportation.
The writer once had two barrels of
onion sets shipped to him from Kala
mazoo, Mich, to Jacksonville, Fla, and
by some means were about six weeks
enroute, and so badly sprouted as to be
about worthless At another time he
received box of nursery stock from a
grower about $50 miles distant and due
in seven days. 1t was thirty days before
they came to hand and nearly all the
trees were out in bloom and badly
shriveled, and the weather very unfa-
vorable to set them out. In these two
cases the freight rates were not amiss,
but the length of transit had caused an
almost total loss of value
We need more speedy transit for our
fruit and vegetable products-fasU
freight lines without intermediate stops.
We need more careful handling of

LABOR SAVING FACILITIES.


In order successfully to compete with
the cheap labor of india and the me-
chanical skill Of Dundee the most eff
cient agencies must be employed. The
plowing, planting, cultivating, and cut
ting should b. done by the best i'm pie
ments which ingenuity has devised to
lessen the tolls of agriculture. The
ribbons of fiber, swiftly stripped from
the stalks by fingers of steel, ought to be
placed on large frames, which, under
the control of steam, would move up and
down in tie retting watts like an eleva
tor. All the processes Of manufacture
must be performed by the latest labor
) saving appliances. 1t is only by such
economies that Americans can hope to
exec iOt ign com petition.
If til" South raises more iute than the
needs Of this country require, it may
yet export the fiber to Dundee, as it does
cotton to Liverpool In the event of
succ SIS in the cultivation of iute in this
country, some of the Dundee manu-
facturers have intim ated their willing
ness to establish factories in the United
States.
PROSPECTS AND SUGGESTIONS.
The Americans are actively prosecuting the
experimental growth OF iute in various parts OF
their country, while we are as a government,
doing nothing to extend it.
These words, uttered in 1878 by Hon.
George Campbell, the lieutenant-gov-
ernor of India, have today fresh and
dangerous significance. The attention
which the 7uthern States are now
giving to the subject of iute culture is
deep and unexampled. The interest is
akin to public enthusiasm. Never from
the inception of the attempt to natualize
iute in this country have the auguries
of success been so propitious. The very
uncertainty of other staples strongly
recommends the cultivation of the In
dian plant. Cotton and sugar are not
sure crops. The havoc Of worms and
insects often disappoint the hopes of the
planter. But iute is. seemingly often
slve to these destructive pests. Its bit
ter and acrid qualities are said to drive
them from it's presence, 1t might, in
deed, be used as vegetable police to
guard other crops from attack, If, in
the discharge of it's sentinel duties, it
should merely shield cotton from the
insiduous inroads of it's enemies, it's cul-
tivation for exclusively defensive SER
vice would annually save the South mil
lions of dollars. But when, in addition
to it's protective virtues, jute has tex
tile value which is one of the worlds
