ORANGE LuMaER MARKET.

Orange Texas September 19.-The past
week has been a very dull one In so far
as new Developments In the lumber situa-
ton are concerned and the ambitious lumber
reporter who strives always to have his de-
partment running over with interesting mill
items is. in vulgar parlance strictly "up a

But the dealer in cotton Is principally
governed by foreign demand while the
dealer in Northern crops is governed prin-
cipally by American weather. For these
and other reasons / advise dealers to turn
their attention TO corn, oats, hay wheat
and hogs.
OF recent years cotton dealers have
failed to rightly estimate foreign demands
and for that reason. they have generally
lost money. Not so with the Northern ce-
reals. good calculator can rightly esti-
mate the foreign demand on Northern ce-
reals two times out of three. Ny forecasts
hit the North American weather at least
two times out of three and the two calcu-
latiOns put together must necessarily bring
success to the dealer.
You will remember the remarkable pre-
dictions made in these bulletins several
months ago to the effect that during the
three years period which includes 1899,
1900 and 1901, corn would be burned for
fuel ON account Of its being cheap and
plentiful end would also sell on the farm
at so cents bushel because OF Its scarcity.
Contemplate the present crop In connection
with these unique forecasts and you VIII
have some evidence that the other ex-

years.
GOOD EFFECT OF WEEDS.
In the annual report OF the secretary
OF agriculture for 1898 the following state
menls are made by the official botanist;
Growing weeds, like other plants, pur-
ify the air and herein lies the chief beneht
conferred by their presence In cities, where
numerous fires in dwellings, factories ana
locomotives, and the breathing Of the peo-
pie continually rob the air OF Its oxygen
and chage 1t with carbonic acid gas.
Growing plants, weeds as well rs 9TH
ers, reverse this process. They withdraw
from the air oarbonic acid gas and some
times other injurious gases, and give on
oxygen. thus tending to purify the air and
keep It supplied with the most essential
element.

Clubs in Tennessee is doing, and | con-
graduate you and them for the appre-
citation of this very important work
which never will be done until the
women of the country come to under
stand its value and then give it their
hest efforts" All women are inter-
ested in the subject of wholesome food,
and club women especially are seeking
to know the latest improvements in
domestic science and hygienic living.
A pressing need of the country is
schools of domestic science for manual
training and the trades, wherein every
boy and girl can learn that which will
fit them for successful and useful liv-
ing. what we shall eat is question
of serious import" Every girl pupil
in the public schools of Tennessee
should receive instructions in the fun
damental principles of the proper Sc
lection and preparation of foods. In
order to make possible such conditions
we must have trained teachers. Dread
Institute, at Worcester, Mass, offers in
its admirably conducted course of do
nestle science the opportunity of OBJ
tanning a thorough training for teach
ers. Can the club women of Tennessee
serve their State more acceptably than
in establishing scholarships in this ad-
III, ,c dc
tant when our schools will need such
teachers. Shall we educate our native
women to the point of filling such po-
sitions, or shall we be apathetic and
Indifferent, allowing these high places
to be filled by women born and trained
in other States more alive to the needs
of progressive growth? The door of
opportunity stands open to the clubs !;
let us not be fant-hearted, but putting
our best enthusiasm into the effort OBJ
| tain at least three Dread scholarships
by the first of February.
Germany is leading the nations in
industrial education, and these schools
are her strength and the peoples safety.
Every trade there is raised to the dig
nifty of profession. In Prussia alone
are 260 technical or trade schools. Sax
ony has Ill. Baden spends two hun
dred and eighty thousand year in
technical schools.
Tennessee has an almost unlimited
field for industrial education and man
ual training. Domestic science is the
foundation of the home, and it may be
said to embrace every phase of human
life. The strength of the State, like
that of the nation, lies in the individ-
ual home; so that every thought or
agency that has for its end the upbuild-
ing and improvement of the home
should receive the encouragement and
help of all women.
Let the club women resolve to put
their whole strength on the side of
higher standards in the home, in the
school, and in cooperation with the
teachers. M. FL. BEARD.

A NUMBER Of persons have received
sample copies of THE ECHO-sent them
for inspection and with the hope that
they would become its patrons. Those
who desire to become subscribers should
notify the publishers, so that the paper
may be sent reglarly each week. The
price of the paper is only one dollar a
year-a price so small that anybody can
afford it. The paper being four-page
weekly is equal in size and amount of
reading matter to siXteen-page month
ly of ninety-siX columns. Our paper
will contain not less than fifty columns
of reading matter each month, which is
equal to about one hundred magazine
pages, or an amount equal to twelve
hundred magazine pages in one year.
We therefore print about as much mat
ter in year as the average magazine
which is issued monthly or only twelve
times year, while this paper is print
ed weekly, or tifty-two times year.
Six hundred columns of reading matter

it of a local nature and about matters

less interested in, is pretty cheap. don t

the Tennessee Federation of Women's
Clubs, Dread Institute has given freq
scholarship to a native Tennessee woe
mantle generosity of the gift being
equalled only by the philanthropis
spirit and desire to afford the utmost
opportunity to such as may choose to
avail themselves thereof, 1t has been
made possible by the generous act Of
generous party" for this institution
to offer free scholarship to each State
and Territory of the United States.
Any young woman between eighteen
and thirty-five years of age, in good
health, possessing a high school educ8-
ton, or its equivalent, with natural
aptitude for intellectual attainment,
and DESTROYS of securing practical
knowledge of household science and all
that pertains to it, may apply for the
said scholarships.
The unique feature at the Dread In
stitute this past year has been the
bringing together of girls from twenty
nine States, giving an interesting view
of the different types of the American
girl-the Southern girl, the hearty
Westerner, the sturdy Northerner, the
well-balanced girl from the Central
States, and the self-contained Eastern
girl-all different, yet all wearing the
lavender and white, the class colors
and the cap and apron, the symbols Of
their new profession for profession
scientific cooking certainly is; quite. a
different thing from the happy-go-
lucky cooking in the average home.
At the third annual convention of the
Tennessee Federation of Clubs, held in
Maryville, April 18th, 1898, unani-
nous vote was cast to accept the offer
of the Dread scholarship, and vote OF
thanks was ordered sent to President
Perkey. Four young women applied
for the scholarship within month
two from West Tennessee and two
from East Tennessee. Miss Frances
Fain, of Knoxville, was the one selected
and recommended by the State FEEDER
alton to Governor McMillin for appoint
ment. She was duly appointed and is
now student at Dread. She gradu
ated from the synodical College al
Rogersville and had the endorsement
of the president and Chancellor Dab
ney of the University of Tennessee, the
Rev. DR.. Park, Gen. Pickle and mum
Der of other prominent citizens.
The women of Tennessee have great
cause of congratulation in the gift o
this scholarship, since President Per

The Girl Who is Ever Welcome.

The welcome guest Is the girl
who, knowing the hour for break
fast, appears at the table at the
proper time, does not keep others
waiting, and does not get in the
way by being down half an hour be-
fore the hostess appears. TIE wei
come guest is the girl who. if there
are not many servants III the house,
has sufficient energy to take care OF
her own room while she is visiting,
and, if there are people whose duty
it is, she makes that duty as light
as possible for them by putting
away her own belongings, and so
necessitating no extra work she is
the one who knows how TO be
pleasant to every member of the
family, and who yet has tact enough
to retire from room when some
special family affair is under dis
cussion; she is the one who does
not find children disagreable or the
various pets Of the household things
to be dreaded; she is the one who,
when her hostess is busy, can en-
tertaln herself with a book, bit OF
sewing, or the writing Of a letter !;
she is the one who, when her friends
come to see her, does not disarrange
the household in which she is stay
ing that she may entertain them |;
she is the one who, having broken
Il b ca ;, and eaten the salt of her
friend, has set before her lips seal
of silence, so that, when she goes
from the house, she repeats nothing
but the agreeable things she has seen.
