Frau Heyl Domestic Organizer.
From Harper's Bazar.

From Harper's Bazar.
 The soul of the German movement for new housekeeping is Frau Hedwig Heyl of Berlin. As the wife of a wealthy man. ufacturer, and since his death, as the manager of his business, she obtained a wide knowledged of people and of the needs of different classes. Her first inter- est was in her own factory workers She saw how difficult it was for the father and mother who were busy in the factory all day to train their children into good and industrious men and women. Frau Heyl felt that she was responsible for the welfare of the children of her workers so she prepared her attractive garden house and invited them to come to her when not in school. The girls were taught housekeeping and cooking, and acquired love of work and of order Many who were trained in this little school have since become excellent housemaids The children grew up. and since the factory kept it's old workers the little garden house became empty, but the idea was not lost. According to the plan and un- der the direction of Frau Heyl, the city founded "Madchenhort," the object of which was to supplement the care the mother can give and the instruction re- ceived in the schools. The girls learn to make the most of the little that they have-to make a few bare rooms in some measure attractive. and to prepare good and wholesome food.

FLORIDA'S ORANGE CROP
 FOR SEASON OF 10O3-O4

From the New York Commercial.
 TT will doubtless require some days
 yet to ascertain the full extent of the ! injury to the orange crop in Florida from the storm that swept over the lever and middle peninsula last Saturday. Re- ports up to date vary considerably as to the amount of the damage to the ripening fruit, the estimates on the aggregate of the crop being also wide apart. It is unquestionably true, however, that, bar ring all accidents, there would have been more oranges shipped from Florida be- tween now and next March than has been the case in any year since the two big freezes of the season of 1S94-95. Then, the crop was very close up to 70O0,- 900 boxes. This years has been set any where from 1.60oO0O to 100000.
 If the September storm has whipped from the trees or "thorned' per cent of the ripening fruit, as reported, and if the crop be set at 1,so0,oOo boxes as an average estimate, the trade can look for only about 100000 boxes of Florida oranges this season.; conservatively considered, the marketable crop can hardly exceed 1.30O,00 boxes-only about one-fifth of the aggregate of nine years ago. The price will probably be enhanced somewhat by this shortening of the out put, but not enough to offset the loss in bulk Possibly this crop may return s2, ,0O0, 900 to the growers. A decade ago, with the price much lower than now, the orange crop was worth fully s5,ooo,0O0 a year, in cash, to Florida.
 It requires six or seven years to bring an orange tree to bearing in Florida, from the nursery to the stump" With complete immunity from tempest or freeze" or other adverse weather condi- tions, and with no attacks from the natural enemies of the plant, the busi- ness is a very pretty one when once a grove has been brought into "condi- tion'-and-a generally easy and inter- esting one for the owner. But does the experience of Florida orange-growers covering the past seventeen years war rant a belief that capital and time and energy can afford to take all risks in- cident to embarking in the industry in that state? The Florida orange is the finest fruit of it's family that the world anywhere produces. It ought to be plen- tiful and cheap, and the growers of 1t ought to reap good and steady profits from 1t.
 But in the light of long-past and recent experiences is there substantial ground for hope that the crop will ever attain size of 100000 boxes again. with the

Business Outlook.

"The predictions I made about Birmins' hams prospects a few weeks ago will come true" said a prominent merchant Trade will be active this fall. If we do not make a record we will certainly do as well as we did last fall Business is picking up every day. Pay day at the mines comes next week and every retail merchant in Birmingham will be busy. While the cotton crop is not quite as large as was predicted month ago. it will bring high prices. and as the farmers have made an unusually big corn crop more money will be in circulation than ever before. Prosperity will be with us until next spring at least"

Yellow Fever on the Border.

Across the river from Laredo, where the Mexican National railroad crosses the Rio Grande, is the town of Nuevo Laredo in Mexico, and in this town yellow fever has appeared. The distance from Laredo to San Antonio is about one hundred miles, and like distance separates Laredo from Corpus Christi on the gulf coast. Rail lines connect it with both, and both cities would be endangered by the fever if it obtains foothold in Laredo. Traffic over the international bridge has been stopped, and the health authorities of Texas are alert, and the fever may be kept out of this country.
 The lateness of the appearance of the fever renders it comparatively inocuous. Much damage could be done by it, however, in Texas, and no doubt the marine hospital service and the Texas authorities will strive against any appearance of the fever on this side of the river. It is con ceded that the two cases in Nuevo Laredo are afflicted with the fever, and a panic exists in Laredo itself. People are fleeing from the pestilence, or rather from anticipations of it, which Is much the sane. No one ex- poets a spread of the disease beyond possibly few Texas towns, but even such a disaster would be severely felt.

CORN IS KING.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 The slogan of the cotton planters in ante-bellum days was Cotton is King. " The scepter has departed from cotton these many years. however. and based upon the crop reports of the present year, cotton holds only third place now, the estimated value of the cotton crop. s52s. 750000, falling below that of wheat at $o35, ,S72O00.
 Corn is so far in the lead however, that no rival will compete with it for i.st place. The estimated yield for the present year is 2,2s9,9OO,0O0 bushels, worth at 50 cents bushel. s1.144, 95O,OOo This is more than the selling price of the years crops of cotton and wheat together. and leaves corn the undlsputed master of the agri- cultural field.
 One element of satisfaction in the pri- macy of the corn crop is to be found in the fact that it leaves no cause for sec- tional heart burnings. Corn knows no north or south no east or west It grows everywhere where Uncle Sam's flag floats. Cotton is confined to the south and the bulk of the wheat crop is grown in less than one-third of the states, but what state doesn't grow corn? Even Maine. jammed in between the summer iceberg track off the coast and the Gulf of St. Lawrence snatches enough summer sun shine to mature the best article of canned corn grown anywhere.
 Another reason for grateful loyalty to the rule of corn is that no one need lie awake O nights f0r fear a new ruler will grasp the scepter without warning Corn Is king for keeps, as the boys say. And the boys are willing, for Johnny cake and pop corn are as certain as seed time and harvest

Meat Diet.

"The physician who declares that we are now, as race, suffering from an ex- cessive meat diet is undoubtedly right" said citizen. "If high prices for meat help to reduce the consumption they will be blessings in disguise. Probably our climate is partly responsible for our err TOTS in this respect Cold weather in- creases the use of meat. and when the warm weather arrives we fail to vary our diet accordingly Yet our climate in summer often approaches the tropl- cal, and demands a diet made up large ly from fruit and vegetables.
 ''rhe amount of meat eaten in this country, especially by the working classes, has usually been a matter of pride It may be doubted, however, if European habits have not something to recommend them. Meat every day and even three times a day all the year around is an injury even to those en- gagged in hard physical labor"

Birmingham Cotton Market.

"Birmingham's cotton receipts will be much larger this year than they were during the fiscal year just closed" said a commercial traveller who spends much time in the sections of Alabama and Mis- sissippi tributary to this market. I find that Birmingham is very popular with the farmers and those who handle cot ton.
 "The compress receipts here last year were only about 5000 bales. Besides this total nine or ten thousand bales went direct to the mills. I will not be surprised if Birminghams total receipts reaches 125OO0 bales by next summer"
