COTTON MILLS IN SOUTHERN
STATES.

The most striking phase of the cotton
trade of the world or late years has been
the development Of cotton manufactur-
ing in the South. A considerable mill in
dustrry was in existence In that section
many years before the war, and It's ex-
pansion was urgently advocated by some
of the foremost public men of the times,
not only that the South might have a
home market for its cotton, but special
stress was laid on the importance of
creating employment for the poorer
whites,-a class to whom the develop
ment of this industry during the last 10
or 10 years has proved a very great
blessing. Living, as most of their class
had lived generation after generation. on
small hillside and mountain farms. with
out the possibility of finding other emf
ployment, cultivating few acres OF
poor land not suited for general crops,
their condition was most deplorable.
With the building of cotton mills there
came the first opportunity ever opened
to them for profitable employment The
mill village has become the centre oil
community life, of religious and educa-
tional advantages such as they had
never known. The development of tho
cotton mill interests of the United States
is indicated in the following figures

THE WIFE's PoCKET-BooK.
woman's Sensible Opinion as TO How
1t should he Filled.

Aiming the contributors to the symposi-
Jim on How Should the Wife's Pocket
book BE Filed?" in the September House
Keeper is Mrs. Alice L. Williamson. who
says:
Is the wife the husbands partner, or
servant or an irresponsible dependent?
The relation in which she holds herself
to her husband 1t seems to me, should
govern the manner Of filling the pocket
book. Suppose she Is partner, ana
think that Is the correct relation. con-
slider what partnership means. The two
have made contract to establish firm
Tor home) for their mutual advantage
and pleasure. Each partner must under
stand the financial condition Of tho firm,
or the results would be disastrous. The
partnership is only farce II one member
must ask the other for money to transact
business for the firm; but IL anything of
Importance Is contemplated both part
ners ought to consult together, then use
the oil of reason on the machinery. and,
OH how smoothly 1t will work. MY hus-
band and I are confidential partners. We
perfectly understand the financial status
of the firm. Whenever I want money I
help myself from our common pocket
book or go to the bank, sign the firm $
name and get whatever amount I want.
So my pocketbook is filled Cor empty
according to my best judgment of our
financial ability. But I hear some one
say: II do not want to be bothered abou,
my husbands business" Then I say, II
she desires to be an irresponsible depend
ent, treat her a s such, and as to a child
lot her husband give stipulated amount
that which she proves herself capable OF
using wisely.
Again, if she acts in the relation Of ser
want to her husband, then according to
value received for her services should
she be paid. Now, a word of advice to
those wives who wish to be partners OF
their husbands q will whisper, this part
nership business pays big returns in hap
pncss, contcntment and peace). AS young
brides, begin right. Don't feel like beg
gars or dependents but step right into
partnership before the first glamour OF
| the honeymoon has passed; then strive
to be worthy, trusty reasonable part
ner, and / believe the money question
will be very felicitously solved.

THE PERFECT BREAD.


The ideal loaf should possess a cream
coored crumb, light and porous, with
nutty brown crust, showing that -four

paration of the dough was properly made

yeast plant were considered, and the bak-
ing process (Which would be long and
slow carefully carried out which gives
to the bread its delicious favor, writes
Mrs. Elizabeth o. Hitler in the Septem-
hcr Housekocper,
The brown color of the crust, which
gives 1t this much-desired and peculiar
flavor, is caused by the formation Of
substances analogous to deXtrine and
caramel developed by the high temper
ature to which the starch is exposed in
the oven
1t is supposed that one hundred pounds
of -four will produce from one hundred
and twenty-six to one hundred and fifty
pounds of bread. This increase OF weight
Is due to the water incorporated in the
dough and possibly by the chemical
union, since the water does not dry out
of the loaf, but IL does out of a sponge.
Bread seems moist when first taken
from the oven, and dry after standing
some time, but the weight will be found
almost the same. Doubtless this chemi-
cal change makes the difference to the
delicate digestion OF many, between fresh
and stale bread A thick loaf of bread
is more easily digested when baked
properly, If eaten after 1t is twenty-four
hours old.
One pound of dough should be the

CASTING THE MINNOW.
Next to Fly Fishing. tho Perfection Of
Art In Angling.

Previous to the civil war angling as a
pastime was not INDUCED in, except to
a very limited extent by residents west
of the Mississippi river. in fact, it may
be said that the country lying between
the eastern slope of the Aleghanes and
the cstuarics of the Atlantic was the
broad area, with its almost innumerablc
HuVial and lacustrinc waters, in which
the art of angling was nurtured in
America.
West of the AlleghanIes they have
brought to perfection a method OF hand
ling the rod in casting the minnow that
not one in a hundred eastern anglers can
follow or perform, and next to fly fishing
II IS the perfection of the art of angling.
The angler stands on the bank, or in tho
stream, and with a swoOp of the rod
from right to left, or the reverse, and
with a spring of the tip impels deftly and

ounce or more, $50 or more feet To the

Because, as an old Milwaukee angler told
me, the practice has been handed down

advantages on the number and fruitful
