PARIS society now has new fad.
1t is something in the nature of the
"Dutch" treat, and is called "Cor-
inthianism," or the art of doing
everything yourself or making
your guests do it. A party invited
to a country house finds the ser
want lone, and so the visitors have
to clean the boots, sweep the floors,
make the fires and cook the meals.
The gentlemen act as their own
|grooms and hostlers, and feed the
fowls and run the errands. ''Cor-
inthianism" may prove a good
thing if it will teach some of the
young men and women how to
take care of themselves.

A SUGAR mill with daily capac-
ity of $50 tons is to be established
in a suburb of Jacksonville. The
plant will cost in the neighborhood
of 100000. The mill company
will plant 600 acres of cane, and
will encourage the farmers in the
neighborhood to enter more large
ly into cane growing, Tbs mill
will extract 50 to 95 per cent. of
the saccharine matter from the
cane, thus practically doubling the
output cf the cane as compared
with the farm method of extract
ing the juice. Jacksonville is to
be congratulated upon the estab-
fishing of this new enterprise at
her doors. It's success-of which
there is no reason for doubt-will
mean the attracting of number

Florida As a Manufacturing State

Census Bulletin No. 101, recent
" issued, deals with the manufac-
turing establishments of Florida,
and shows that the beginning has
been well made, and that is more
than half the battle. The number
of establishments is given as 2-1l5,
the capital invested at S34,473, 1897.
Jacksonville has 1915 of the 41o ur-
ban establishments, Key West 81,
and Tampa 129, but Tampa has as
much capital in hers as the other
two combined. These furnish en-
ployment to 20.7 per cent of the
whole number of wage-earners for
the state, and they pay 1876 per
cent of the total amount of wages;
their products form 34.6 per cent
of the total for the state. Florida,
therefore, is no longer an agricul-
tural or pastoral state only. The
summary is condensed as follows:
Although the most important in
dustries of Florida are those direct
ly dependent upon the agricultural
and mineral resources of the state,
manufacturing and the mechanical
industries have had q steady and
significant growth during the last
half century. The average number
of wage earners employed in the
establishments engaged in these in
dustries constituted 7 per cent OF
the population of the state in 1900,
as compared with IL per cent in
1850 The apparent decrease in
the number of establishments re-
ported between 1870 and 1880 is
due partly to the inclusion in 1870
of sugar and molasses manufacture
ed on the plantation-a branch Of
the sugar manufacture excluded in
1SS(Hand partly to the imperfect
enumeration of the hand trades in
1870 and 1880. During the last
decade the total value Of the man

doubled, while the number of wage
