There is no doubt that violet. mauve and
purple in the softer shades are the seasons
favorite colors. Whole windows full OF
gowns. wraps. hats and accessories in these
tones are seen in the exclusive uptown
shopping districts. In the window with the
princess gown just noted were several
hats in violet effects. One of these was a
low-crowned sailor shape in pale mauve
panne velvet, quilted finely, and trimmed
around the crown with wreath of purple
orchids. Another was in sort of an anna
Zon shape with high crown. The hat was
made OF folds OF pale mauve maline, the
brim edged with a band OF purple velvet.
stiff wreath of purple violets encircled
the crown and a long purple plume was
added to the decoration of a very dashing
hat.
Mauve and most of the violet tones are
better worn in daylight than at night.
These colors lose luster under artificial
light, as a rule, and they are, under any
circumstances, rather serious colors for
festive occasions. 1t is singular fact that
purple gives a more melancholy effect than
the deepest black.

TWO LESSONS FROM THE UNITARIAN

A week or two ago some of the newspapers thai

negroes were present at the recent Unitarian
Club banquet in New York City, at which IT.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

Human character does evermore publish itself.
1t will not be concealed. 1t hates darkness,-it
PUSHES into light. The most fugitive deed and
word, the mere air of doing a thing, the intimated
purpose, expresses character. If you act, you
show character; if you sit still, you show it; if
you sleep, you show it. You think because you
have spoken nothing when others spoke, and have
given no opinion on the times, on the church, on
slavery, on the college, on parties and persons,
that your verdict is still expected with curiosity
as a reserved wisdom. Far otherwise; your 81
lence answers very loud. You have no oracle to
utter, and your fellowmen have learned that you
cannot help them; for oracles speak. Doth not
wisdom cry, and understanding put forth her
voice From Emerson's Essay on Spiritual Laws.

TWO CAUSES OF EMIGRATION FROM NopTu
CAROLINA.

For so long that the memory of man runno+b
not to the contrary, emigration has been the bano
of North Carolina. When that great pioneer ad-
vocate of education, Calvin II. Wiley, was Sinner.
intendent of Public Instruction fifty years o
this state Of affairs existed, and he declared -
one of his reports: Our State has long bnon
regarded by it's own citizens as a mere nurserv
to grow up in" And each decennial Census Re-
port in the half century that has passed since
these words were penned, has added fresh empba-
sis to the striking expression of DR.. Wiley. And
the emigration is still going on, most markedly
now in the mountain section Of the State. About
this time last year we printed a number of ex-
tracts from piedmont and mountain papers re-
porting a considerable exodus to Western States.
and now again the tide is moving westward. An
Asheville dispatch in last weeks Progressive
Farmer told of one party of 200 persons that left
Asheville in March. These facts deserve serious
attention, and it is not surprising that some of
the more thoughtful papers have instituted an
inquiry into the cause of the emigration. The
most plausible theory yet advanced, so far as we
have seen, is that of the Asheville Register, and
it's Importance, we are sure, warrants US in re-
printing it's opinion entire:
A emigrant leaving East Tennessee a few
days ago was delayed in Knoxville on his way
westward, and while there was asked why he was
leaving so good a country, and replied that he
was impelled by two causes, tO-wit: bad roads
and insufficient public schools. He said he could
not make a living on his farm and haul a bare
handful of stuff to town and be all day at it, and
besides the public schools of his, county lasted but
a few weeks in the year and we're entirely too in
efficient to meet the demands Of his children, but
having a large family he could i'll afford to send
them to college. There is no place in the South
where these conditions prevail to a more alarming
degree, than here in North Carolina. Our roads
are wretched, and our rural public schools are
the merest makeshifts. For a good part Of the
year we can't haul anything to market. It would
be well for us to see if we are not losing many
of our people for the same reasons given by the
Tennesseean."

THIS WEEKS PAPER-sOME RANDOM COM
LENT,
MENT.

Mr.. Blake Johnson's previous letter, in which
he discussed cotton growing, has been received
with such favor by our correspondents and eX-
changes that we are glad that he has returned to
discuss the culture of other crops. Perhaps he
can tell Mr.. Morris, of Illinois, how to cure pea
vine hay successfully. Mr.. Morris has probably
not overestimated the value of the soy bean for
his own section, but here in the South the cowpea
is cultivated with greater profit than in the colder
North. We shall be glad to have some of our
North Carolina readers tell us of their expert
ences with the soy bean crop.

The seed tester described on page 2 is so very
simple and inexpensive, and we have seen it test
ed with such unvarying efficacy, that we cannot
understand why it is not more generally used.
Testing SO or 100 seed, it is easy to find what per
cent will terminate, and to infer from the test
whether the seed should be planted more thickly
or more thinly than the average, or entirely re-
jected for new seed. Try the seed tester; it will
save many dollars.
Mr.. Rereman, of Colman's Rural World, author
of the series of articles, easy Science for Far
mers," that we are now running, holds a decidedly
important position in the agricultural world, but
in his excursion into botanical fields last week he
passed out of his element and fell into some err
rors. Our friend, DR.. Stevens, of the North
Carolina A. & M. College, says that Editor Bere-
man is wrong in claiming CD that "the compost
ton of mushrooms necessitates the gills;' CD
that the fungi breathe in a different way from
other plants, and 60 that gills serve as lungs.
Moreover, he overlooks the one good point which
he could have made, namely, that gills are espe-
ciaIly reproductive organs for the purpose of
bearing spores in enormous quantity to propagate
the plant. He carries the confusion still further
when he mentions the morel, as the dends here
are not for respiratory surface, but are also for
spore production" In practical agricultural
matters, however, Mr.. BERGMAN is thoroughly at
home, and his lapses in botany will not impair
the usefulness of his more practical articles.
A paper of very timely suggestions is that on
page 5 from the pen of Col. J. B. Killebrew, of
Tennessee. His advice as to the cultivation and

Unfortunately we have no Social Chat this
week, as the letters arrived just too late for use'
but our Home Circle pages nevertheless contain
some decidedly readable articles. Frank Stan
toms love poem is one of the best of its kind,
while his "Keep A-Goin'" is so CHEEKY that we
advise low-spirited folk to<paste it in their hats
for constant reference. Especially striking is
the story of the Cuban Yellow Fever Commits
sion. 1t is as true now as it was in the days OF
Milton and Cromwell that "Peace hath her vic
tories no less renowned than War" and the men
who slowly offered up their lives in those Cuban
hospitalsJ with no martial music to nerve them,
no applauding comrades to cheer them, displayed
a higher form of heroism than that shown by him
who "for one hour storms a breach or for one day
rushes undaunted in the flaming front of shot
and she'll" "The Happiness of Outdoors" is an
other suggestive article; these beautiful spring
days find us longing to take part in the seed-time
work on the farm, and the school-bOy shut up in
the house is beginning to believe with Solomon
that much study is a WEAKNESS of the flesh"
The author of "About Writing Letters" on page

experience.

On page II we are giving in full the new ad-
dress by the Executive Committee of the State
Anti Saloon League. The League shows it's prac-
teal coed sense by it's recognition of the fact
that there are towns in the State where prohibi-
ton is impossible and where the movement for a
dispensary is the only forward step that can be
taken for temperance. Rome, we are told, was
not built in a day, but the prohibition cause has
some fanatics in it's ranks who would never have
aided Romulus had they been told that their work
must be done by slow degrees-and who would not
now climb a ladder if they should find it neces-
sary to rise round by round instead of reaching
the top at one bound. But the League Commit
tee is not so impractical. Where we cannot get
the best, we should try to get the best possible.

will, he said, have entered upon the
era of its greatest prosperity.
Mr. Williams did not have all to say
of the immoralities of the city. He
spoke in words of highest praise of the
virtues which are distinctiveIy Savan-
nahian-of the brotherly feeling and
beneficent spirit which prevails, and
of the charity dispensed by benevolent
lodges, fraternal organizations,
churches and organized charities. This,
the speaker said, was of the New Tes-
lament variety, the right. hand not
knowing what the left hand was do
ing.
He commended the movement for a
greater Savannah. He said that it Is
for the city to hold the sympathy of
the country tributary, instead of dis
seminating an unneighborly influence
If this were done the question of the
future prosperity of Savannah would
not admit of argument. 1t is, he
said, his prayer that the city will one
day in the near future be known from
one end of the land to the other, not
only as greater Savannah, but as a
greater and a purer Savannah.
Mr.. Williams commented at length
upon the material development of Sa-
vannah. Within the last five years.
he said, the improvement has been
more marked than in any twenty-five
years preceding. He noted among
the architectural improvements the
Seamen's Bethel and the w. C. T. U.
Home, but said that since his last visit
to Savannah, five. years ago, but one
church had been built, and that a
small one. His remarks on the super
fetal side of the city's growth preced-
ed his caustic comment on the growth
of immortality. 1850
