CHAPTER ON THE
 SOAP INDUSTRY
Consul Skinner Trade Condi- tions in the United States
 and in France

Washington, May 2o.-Trade and econo- mic conditions in France is the subject of next chapter to be made public of. Com mercial Relations of the United States for 1900 It consists of the following resume by Consul Skinner at Marseilles
 "of all the great powers of Europe, France alone could stand isolation with out a severe shock. The colonial empire is developing, not rapidly enough to sat- isfy, but still developing. The protective tariff system, notwithstanding it's defects of detail is not bad when executed properly and judiciously here. Large corporations are absorbing small ones. Group of factories have now one head each of wblch but few years ago was a law unto itself.
 "The French republic is preparing to join the ssterhood of wheat exporting nations and to resume a position aban- doned in 1860. no less able authority than Prof. de Laroque informs me that ten years hence France will have from 0,000 to 1,5O0000 tons to share annually for export. The domestic wheat Is also deficient in gluten and to produce a flour satisfactory in this climate it must be mixed with imported grain the best of which thus far has come from Texas.
 With the acquisition of the Philip pines the United States has within itself the elements necessary to control the soap trade of the world--a trade in which Marseilles has been supreme for many years. Experience has provd that the best soap Is the product of either cocoa nut and cotton or peanut oil to the Eu- ropean soap trade and at Marseilles the cocoanut- crushing industry is at present centralized. Over 1.25o.0O0 pounds of dried cocoanut kernels were received here during 1900, most of which was from the Philippines. There is no apparent req son why American capital should not crush these nuts in the Philippines and ship the oil to the United States, thus effecting a great saving of freight, and enabling our manufacturers who already have cotton oil at their command to dominate the business.
 In regard to the development of our merchant marine, the consul says Ffli- pino sailors would be invaluable.

Important Part of Girls Education
 Neglected.

From the New York Free Press.
 In the education of women. lifting the skirt Is quite as important as singing dancing, reading, writing and arithme- tic, yet girls are allowed to grow up and settle down without ever being taught the difference between the right and wrong ways of accomplishing this necessary dirunal feat. Some women naturally artistic, early acquire the proper method. Whatever they do is per- lection. But the greater majority carry their skirts with as much grace and in- telligence as they do a bunch of vege- tables. They actually embarrass me. I am ashamed to look in the direction of a careless creature who innocently and ignorantly makes a free public exhibition of her hosiery and lingerie. Once upon a time, seeing a woman making as as- founding revelation, I signaled to her husband an utter stranger, who was walking by her side, and called his at tention to the excitement his wife was creating. He thanked me cordially and gave her scolding that stopped the show
 Miss Margery Daw and old Tip induced the women of the country to button up their packets. It was a tremendous vic- tory, greater in way than the battle of Barnet. Now something must be done about lifting the skirt, which is being made in belll shape and long enough to qualify in the Street Cleaning depart ment as a "Whing Wing or perfect sweeper.
 Some clever women practice before a mirror until they learn where to grip the skirt for a modest, graceful eleva- ton, then they sew on the under side two buttons to mark the spot. Tn the street 1t is not necessary with this arrange ment to look around in a twist and make half dozen grabs at sundry parts of the gown. A little feeling with the hand win find the buttons, and hold taken and confident.

Diamond Notes.

Pitcher McGill has deserted the Pelicans and will play Independent ball the bal ance of the season.
 Manager Powell is after several new players and expects to have almost new team by the time he starts on the road next week. The Picayune says:
 For ten days Powel has been looking the country over in search of faster men. He has signed Gilligan of Norfolk as an infelder. and that fast Virginia League player will arrive In a few days. Gilligan last year led the Virginia League on the infield hitting. He was purchased yester- day for $350. Hoffmeister, third baseman from Terre Haute, was also purchased Three or four years ago Hoffmeister played with Pittsburg in the National Leagu, and lasted through several months on account of his heavy batting Hoffmeister will arrive by the end of the week, Powell Is also looking for another pitcher, for McGill has abandoned New Orleans and gone off with the Bernhardts to Jackson. Since his arrival here he has been i'll most of the time, and Powell will not force him to continue playing ball. He would much rather have new pitcher"
 The New Orleans Picayune says:
 Birmingham had hoss' luck in hitting. Many of the hits were miserable scratches. Bring us all in, Daddy, shouted Get unger- when the bases were full In the sixth, and big Sam LaRocque responded with a single to center that chased two of his children home. Captain Sam Larocque, who holds down the initial bag for the visitors, was well known Ma tional League second baseman in his salad days. The big fellow was always a fine hitter.

Convention Notes.

D. W. Waite of Easonville. St. Clair County, is here in the interests of the new county proposed to be framed out of parts of St. Clair and Shelby Counties. The territory proposed to be made up in- to new county contains about 2O.OOO peo- pie and 400 square miles. It is bounded on the north and west by the Karr Moun- tains, south and east by the Coosa river and south and west by Lellow Leaf creek. The formation of this county will be urged at the hands of the convention, and MT. Waite feels encouraged at it's prospects. No name has yet been selected for it. This would be too much like naming chicken before 1t was matched.
 The cool weather of the last few days has made the electric fans in the hall sick It has also made some of the mem bers sick Hon. R. B. Kyle of Etowah has suggested that Montgomery is rather overriding the matter, and that 1t would be adcisable to freeze us little, freeze us long, so to speak.
