Ia, coal is obtained at $3.50 q ton,
7and at that price the steam power
costs only one-halt as much as at
the average New England mill.
With regard to labor, equally large
differences in favor of the South
are shown, ranging from 25 to so
per cent. The total manuta cturing
cost of ginghams at certain mills
was about 10-l7th Of the cost OF
similar work in the North.
"Raw cotton is hauled directly to
many mills in the South without
going to compress. MIR. bennett
found that some mills in the South
get their cotton at II to II cents
cheaper than the same grades can
be procured by New England mills.
"Another advantage in the South
is comparatively lower taxation,
and in many localities premiums
are offered to cotton mills in the
form Of free sites, exemption from
taxation, or both. 1t is true interest
is higher in the South, the. average
being about 2 per cent. greater than
in New England, but Mr.. bennett
claims that the balance is still large
ly in favor OF the South. A mill of
10000 spindles and capitalization
Of $4,000, making print cloth,
would make in TIE South saving
of about 100000 a year in cotton,
operating power and other factors
of expense, az compared with aim-
liar mill in New England: Making
liberal allowance for the difference
against the South in interest and
every other point Of advantage that
can be claimed for New England,

of $4,000 . year in favor of the
southern mill"

JAPANESE MOTHERS.
They Thoroughly Understand the Tender
Care of Children

They Thoroughly Understand the Tender
Care of Children
1t sometimes happens that one sees a
young American mother SO utterly unfit
for the training of children and for the
duties Of motherhood that one cannot
but wonder why It pleased Providence
ever to give her the care Of little ones.
This happens sometimes In the case of
really estinable women, and have
heard q young mother say sadly that she
never qnite knew what TO do with baby,
e was such queer little thing, and she
was half afraid to touch it. Other young
things in the shape of puppies, kittens,
or even colts, she knew all shout and
was quite at home with, but hey own
child remained sort of curious and un-
canny little being to her till his baby
days were over and he began to share
m his mothers hobbies in boyish sort
Ct way.
Now, In Japan mother like this is
m impossibility. She is not interested
In politics OF in social reforms, neither
Is she bent on being social success, nor
devoted to any scientific philanthropiO
work, as are so many Of her western sis
tiers. She is par excellence a mother,
and one who cannot be rivaled in any
exAer coantry. No children are 50 well
and carefully tended as hers, and she is
patieat and gentle with them, never
threatening them, if they are unruly,
with corporal punishment, nor raising
her voice and scolding them in the I'M
pleasant way one SO often hears in other
countries. The japanese mother is q
Born kindergaertnerin and enters into
the lives of her little ones just as easily
IS the western kindergarten teacher who
Kaz undergone long period of study
and training. To her the duties Of
motherhood come naturally, for among
her nation women who will make good
mothers are chosen as wives, and thus
N the course of nature the quality Of
netherliness is intensified as time goes
On, and the race Of mothers becomes
vsry superior.
Nowhere is motherhood as respected
IS in Japan, and nowhere does tbs
mother receive more attention from both
Ter husband and her children She ii
