HOME INDUSTRIES.

In the near future we expect to
see a variety of new industries start
up in Southern Utah.
The coming season bids fair for a
boom in the silk business, and all the
ladies will want new silk dress,
and we would not be surprised to
see the gentlemen wearing silk pan
falcons. Our "Dixie" country is
we'll suited to the growth of the null
berry and the worm, and already par
ties are making preparations to put
out their mulberry groves in order
to have feed for worms in their CO.
cooneries. Trees should be topped
so they will not grow out of reach
for collecting the leaves, but made
to branch out low down. Children
can be proftably employed gather
ing leaves and feeding worms.
Cotton is a prolific grower here
and if the price comes up farmers
will take a greater interest in its
cultivation.
The Rio Virgen Mills are able to
furnish market for large amount
of cotton and wool, and farmers
should, for their own interest, grow
enough cotton to keep it supplied
the year round. 1t has been ben
eft to the people, but if the works
are not ample to work up the supply
OF raw material, other factories will
be erected.
There is an abundance Of Dose or
yucca and wild milk weed or spurge
in this vicinity, the lint of which can
be utilized to advantage in the man
ufacture of ropes.
The Tannery that has been estab-
ilished in this city should be we'll
ipatronized and not allowed to sink
into oblivion as its predecessors has
done. The article of leather pro-
duced is equal to any importations,
md we believe its wearing qualities
cannot be surpassed.

A CUBAN VICTORY.
Won by Gen. Calixto Garcia at
GabuquitO.
Spanish Force of 1000 Defeated
Loss, 300 Killed.

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 19-One of the most
brilliant victories achieved by the Cubans
since the beginning of the revolution was
won at GabuquitO. near Manzanillo. Ac-
eording to advices received by the steamer
Olivette, which reached here from Havana
Gen. Calixto Garcia, with strong force of
insurgents, has made his headquarters at
Gabuquito for some weeks
Gen. Segura, with 1000 Spaniards. was
operating near Manzanillo, and determined
to attack Gabuquito, although the Cubans
were strongly intrenched. Seguras plan
was to storm the place, and he led his men
in person, but the Cubans greeted the Span
iards with such deadly fire from rifles and
Hotchkiss guns that they retreated in great
disorder. Segura rallied his men. and another
charge was made. but the fire of the
Cubans did such execution that the
Spaniards were again driven back. Sc
gura was unable to rally his men for another
attack, and withdrew.
1t is reported from Cuban sources that
the Spanish loss was nearly 800 killed and
about 400 wounded. Among the killed, it is
said, there were many Spanish officers, and
Segura himself is reported slightly wounded.
Gen. Rius Rivera, commanding the in
suIgents in Pinar del Rio province, attacked
the trocha north of Artemsa. The insurg-
ents made their attack about four o'clock in
the morning, and took the Spaniards by sur
prise. The Cubans fired one volley and
then charged the Spaniards with machetes,
killing many of them. The sound of the
battle was heard at Artemisa, and strong
Spanish force was ordered to proceed
along the trocha. Rivera withdrew when
apprised by scouts that re-enforcements
were coming to aid the Spaniards. In this
engagement the Spaniards are said to have
lost heavily. A large number of their
wounded reached Havana.
1t is also said that 5000 Cubans under
Garlic, Arungerere, Acosta and Juan Del
gado are operating near Havana. Some of
these insurgents are said to have entered n
suburb of Havana. They talked freely with
the inhabitants and said they were anxious
for the Spanish troops in Havana to attack
them.

Senator Davis, of Minnesota, says
that the country has never experienced
such hard times as in 1857. "Money
was not only scarce, but there was nc
money in circulation-none to be had
anywhere. Along the Chippewa,
Black, Mississippi and other rivers
sawlogs were legal tender. In fact,
everything that possessed any sort OF
value passed as token money. Up IN
Northern Wisconsin copper was
mined, and copper cents were minted
and issued by private individuals.
The general storekeepers issued their
own script, and it passed for money.
I have seen.ta ten.cent postage stamp
incased in mica passing for money
many time. We had every kind OF
token money except wampnm. We
didn't quite get that far back to the
primitive method and, medium of ,ex'
change.

To improve further the public
schools of Massachusetts, the State
Board of Education, in addition to
seeking legislation which would re-
quire each teacher to have pedagogic
training. will seek to have the princi-
pie of skilled supervision OF schools
extended to each town in the State,
observes the New York Post. Thus
Tar there is supervision in 253 OF the
853 towns in tho State, covering
ninety-one per cent. of the number OF
teachers and ninety -threeEper cent. OF
the number of pupils. 1t is appar-
ent, therefore, that only the smallest
towns lack skilled supervision. Among
the improvements claimed in the towns
under supervision are better class o.
teachers, with u truer professional
spirit more regular attendance OF
pupils in all grades and increased at
tendance in the grammar and hlgh
schools; q well-arranged and properly
balanced course of study; greater care
in the select on OF books, apparatus,
etc., and greater interest in the
schools on the part of parents and tax
payers. Th is plan of skilled super

The greatest irrigation scheme yet
is that of Swiss scientist, Raoul Pic
tet, who has been studying the climatic
conditions in Egypt and proposes to
flood the desert of Sahara with water
from the Nile. His plan is to build
great heaters of sheet iron over the
rivers to convert the water into steam
for power. The water could be raised
to 150 degrees under the terrific solar
heat and huge heater or boiler OF
this kind covering two acres would
furnish 1000 horse power.
