EGyTTAN COTTON.

There's no peace for the wicked, or
the good either. The good people of
the New England States are troubled
by the competition Of the South in cot
ton-spinning, and it begins to appear
that the good people Of the South will
be troubled by the competition of
Egypt in cotton-growing. When Mr..
Penfield, Of this State, was consul-gen-
eral at Cairo he called the atten
ton of the people of this country to
what the cotton-g growers of Egypt were
doing. His warning was sound and
timely. The production Of cotton has
been increasing steadily in Egypt in re-
cent years, Notwithstanding the fall Of
price. The lower taxes, better Justice
and more orderly and helpful admin
istration under British auspices enable
the agriculturist to prosper and slim
ulate his industry. The population of
Egypt has doubled in the last four de-
cades--a fact which may be said to
demonstrate the improved condition of
| its people. Their ability to compete
with the southern planters is, how
ever, not unrestricted. Egypt's i'm
provable area has fixed limits. ut Is
extremely unlikely" says the New York
Journal of Commerce, that the pro-
duction of Egyptian cotton can be ex-
| tended to any such extent as to Sc
riously threaten our upland cotton; its
production will always be so restricted
as to maintain the price above that of
our ordinary cotton. But a large in
crease in the production in Egypt of
cotton better than our ordinary sta
| pie, and competing in some fabrics
with our Sea Island cotton at price
between the two, would certainly affect
our cotton interest in some degree"
1T Is said that the cotton of Egypt is
inferior to our Sea Island cotton, but
! decidedly superior to our upland cotton
and brings a better price. The cror
last year was 100000 bales, much OF
which was imported into the United
States for the production of special
fabrics to which American cotton is
unsuited.

\ cHINEsE BRIcKLAyER.

Philadelphia has a Chinese brick
layer. His name is Lee Chang and he
is a real credit to his employer. Chang
works for Edward Clayton, a West
Philadelphia contractor, and there is
very little about a building that he
can't do. Although Changes method of
working is rather peculiar, he Is, never
theless, active and artistic. OF course,
he is the victim of no end of jokes and
sarcasm, but he takes everything good
naturally. The ambitious Celestial
started to work for Mr.. Clayton about
three years ago, and advanced so
rapidly that he was able to complete
with any of his brother workmen after
serving two and a half years as an
apprentice Chang is especially talent
ed in turning" arches and building
corners, going as high as ten courses
at a time without trying the plumb
rule. His fellow-workmen often take
delight in rushing" him on a rough
wall, but the agile Chinaman often
makes them regret the attempt The
apprentice boys have a warn heart for
Chang, and he is very liberal with his
knowledge ''of tricks of the trade" and
doesn't hesitate to teach them the
proper ways of working. He believes

A fluffy muslin bow with big loops
and long ends is attached to narrow
folded muslin band. This band passes
about the satin stock and is bound half
way between the upper and lower edges
of the stock. When the stock is white

the muslin is secured, and it's slimpsi-

Superintendent Pettigrew's report to
ment of the project for building the
Cape Cod canal by the employment of
Of the convicts is ingenious. He would
surround the ditch with a corrugated
iron fence, rectangular in form, two
thousand feet long and as wide as need
be. Within this enclosure he would
build dormitories for the two thousand
convicts that would be required for the
work, both the fence and the buildings
to be portable, so that they could be
moved along as the digging Of the ditch
proceeded. Then he would have a min
iature prison afioat on scow for the
detention of long-term prisoners, and a
heating and lighting plant on another.
Thus the entire plant could be moved
as the construction of the canal de-
manded. This outfit is to cost $1350OO.

offset by the lesser number of guards
required to watch tie prisoners. The
expense Of the canal Mr., Pettigrew
estimates at 100000, though some
portions of the work could hardly be
performed by convicts, and this fact
would have to be taken into consider
alton.
There doesn't seem to be any good
reason why convicts should not be
employed in the ways above suggested
They shouldn't be supported in idle
ness and driven to lunaey by lack OF
work.

WORE roe r0n THE GOOSE,

Not long ago Sister Charlotte Smith
spoke right out in meeting and said
that old maids who had refused offers
Of marriage should be made to pay a
tax just as much as old bachelors
should be made to pay tax for being
old bachelors. This noble and just ut
terance did somewhat to restore bal
ance that needs restoring. And now
comes another push in the right direc-
ton. The town council of an Ohio viii
lage, with view to putting stop to
the practice Of flirting with commercial
travellers, has decreed that no girl
shall be allowed to,loiter in the vicinity
of the railroad station unless she can
produce a railroad ticket.
OF course the girls will produce rail-
road tickets, but the action Of the town
council is proper. 1t is just as proper
as the action of the Tennessee legisla-
ture in passing an anti-fiirting law in
which it was assumed that male hui
man beings are the only ones who need
restraint from flirting. 1t Is cheering
to find that in Ohio, the modern mother
of presidents, there is at least some
accurate knowledge Of human nature

GOOD WORR FOR BAD MEN,

bad men for good roads" is phrase
which has made some impress ion, and
it ought to make more. Prisoners are
idle in many parts of the country, and
there is much casting about for ways
to keep them at work. The employ
ment of convict labor to improve the
docking facilities of the harbors on the
California coast is earnestly advocated.
The seawall of San Francisco is not
completed, although the State has
spent over IL millions of dollars upon
it during the past twenty-five years.
Convict labor on these public works
would finish them, and, in addition,
furnish employment for the idle pris-
oners. But the most striking scheme
for the employment of convicts has
been invented in Massachusetts, where

dition sent by England some months
ago to that part of the Gold Coast him
terland which is ruled by the Moham-
medan Chief Samory. When he first
reached the Sofa camp at Wa he was
treated as prisoner, and his captors
discussed before and with him the
manner in which he was to be put to
death. The victim listened awhile till
he was weary of it. "Oh, WELL" he
said "I can't be bothered with your
arguments. I'm very sleepy; let me
know when you have made up your
minds" and off to sleep he went. The
unexpected performance saved his life.
His calm Indifference persuaded Samo-
rvs men that they had to do with some
one of immense Importance. Unwilling
to take on themselves the responsibility
for his death, they sent him unharmed
to Samory's Court, in the Jimini coun-
try. He found the chief on a throne
surrounded by four thousand warriors;
yet when motioned to do homage on
his hands and knees he did nothing of
the sort but sat down on the throne
beside Samory, shaking that monarch
warmly by the hand. Thanks to this,
