A japanese Colony for South.

FROM the Southern Manufacturers Record
The japanese are taking in the possi-
pilltles OF rice culture in Louisiana and
Texas number of them attached to the
commissions for representing their country
at the worlds fair have recently been down
to Louisiana and their impressions are of
practical interest from the fact that they
nave begun negotia tons for the purchase
of lands and the locating of japanese colo
nlsts They were pleased with the lands
with the opportunities they found and with
the chances for development along lines
familiar to them
The first efforts of the colon:sts will he in
the direction of raising rice for seed The
japanese are intensive farmers and will be
satisfied with the product of a few acres
per man: but that product will he of the
very highest value.
During the trip of the visitors it was re-
vealed that great possibilities were recog-
nlzed IN the way of paper making. The
coarSest paper of Japan is made out of
rice straw, 1t appears, as is also the finest !;
and the great quantity of rice straw that is
burned up and thrown into the rivers and
bayous of the south filled the Japanese
visitors with enthusiasm as they realized
what good turn they could do in utilizing
this waste product.
Riding along the railroad they also saw
the great opportunities that exist for the
utilization of the willow trees of the far
southern country, for the Japanese use the
bark for fiber, the shoots for ba skets etc,
ana the wood for pulp and they recognized
an almost illmitable field for the exercise
of their skill in working up the various
parts of the willow. The land they con-
template purchasing is of 10000 acres, and
the first installment of farmers will be fifty
families. They will be farmers of vegeta-
bles well rice. They will be citizens
and send their children to school and pay
taxes and obtain a citizenship and play
their part in the community as other set
Lars.

Leather Decoration.

From the Pilgrim.
The art of decorating leather Is SUPPOSE.
to have originated with the Moors who
carried 1t to Spain, from which country IL
came to Mexico. Tho Spanish Mexican
grandee was not fond Of literature but of
personal magnfcence and especially of his
riding equipment. and the saddle offered
opportunity for disl laying his artistic abil
ity. 1t was prOfuSely ornamcntcd with gold
silver and cOlOred thread embroidery and
deliberately stamped and embossed The
process was simple, the leather being soak
small chisels of various shapes. the leather
being laid on fiat stone. 1t is about twenty
years since leather embOsSng has been
utilized for other than equestrian pdrapher-
MALTA. but now not only chairs screens and
chests are upholstered In leather beauti-
fully and carefully embossed. but n great
variety of articles decorated with this
attractive craft Leather carving Is an i'm
portant industry in several of the Pacific
coast cities and New York artists have pro-
duced some wonderfully attractive designs.
The work is well suited for women, for
delicacy and dizziness of touch are required
rather than physical strength.
Table covers. cushions. portfolios. satch-
els. belts. shopping bags and a variety OF
small articles are especially attractive in
this decoration, and on larger pieces. such
screens chests the combination OF
carving with typography produces excel
lent artistic effects.

Probably the most noticeable social event
So far this season was the recent 'cotii-
lion of one hundred" The favors were the
most elaborate used here for long time,
nnd it Is almost certain that one or two
more similar dances will be held within a
month.
The hotels in the meantime are crowdins
in their subscription hops and costume
dances for children. along with the annuai
balls of the coachmen and tiremen.
The sticky weather. inseparable from Au-
gust. has recently given the bathing beach
another boom. This year there are more
canoes than ever in the surf, and some
days the French watering places can
scarceful offer a more colorful scene.

The Lesson.

The new theory of some who call them
selves advanced thinkers in child training.
teaches that it is wrong to make obedience
one of the first principles taught to a
child. who are we that they should obey
US? they say. I'VE are but children Of
a larger growth and have right
to command their submission And they
go to show by means of such stories as
"Casabianca' how much harm may come
to a child through implicit obedience. They
teach that a child must learn to govern
himself and to see and bear the results or
his own il-doing.
However this theory may work out in real
life, it certainly was not and not God s
way. Obedience was the first lesson taught
in the Garden of Eden, and for disobedience
Adam and Eve were turned out into the
world of sorrow and labor. 1t was ODE
dience that the poor children, the Israel
ties, had to wander so many years in the
wilderness to learn. 1t was iisobedience
that brought all the sorrow and the many
bewildering entanglements into the the lives
of the kings of Israel. 1t is dsobedience
today that causes all the trouble, and 1t is
because of disobedience that Christ cannot
yet come to His own
For obedience is of necessity the first prin-
ciple OF all law. 1t IS what the universe
has learned Even the winds and the sea
obey Him" The stars and the water
courses follow the plan He laid out for
them. The clouds form at His bidding, and
every little seed in the earth silently and
regularly ODeyS the law arranged Tor IL,
putting forth its leaf at command of His
soft wind messengers. Only man assumes
the right to break up Gods plans and set
the universe in a tangle to fulfill his own
petty plans.
Suppose the should tomorrow. just
for once, disobey the law of its being, and
swerve ever so little from its prescribed
course? What would happen-what might
not happen-among the planets? How many
laws might be broken in the one and how
many planets started in the wrong course
to bring destruction upon themselves and
all about them, Or If, for one whole season.
the seeds should refuse all over this earth
to sprout forth at His bidding, what DESC
lation and suffering would be ours!
We need but to think of few of these
homely things about us upon whose ODE
dience to Gods laws depends our daily life,
to understand that obedience is necessary.
In order to have anything go smoothly in
all its parts with no hitch or break from
beginning to end whether 1t be machinery,
the government of a city or the manipua-
ton of a universe, there must needs be
wise. farSeeing one at the head, and there
must be perfect obedience to the laws laid
down for each separate part Of that ma
chinery or universe to obey.
If this be so, and also part OF
Gods plan, how many, many times each
How often do we start out of our places
where God has set us and presume to take
another where we do not fit. or where for

MOTHER WAS REFUSED
CUSTODY OF DAUGHTER.

Macon, July 30-There was a pathetic
scene in the City Court room this
morning when there was heard
argument on the habeas corpus petit
ton which was filed several days ago
b. Mrs. w. II. Bailey of Pueblo. Col,
for the possession of her little
S-year-old daughter, Jennie Gar
land, from the father, and his mother,
Mrs Sarah Bailey. both residents of
this place.
While many affidavits were being
read and while various members of
the Bailey family were on the stand,
the beautiful little blue-eyed girl Of
ten cried. The defense was that Mrs.
Bailey was an opium eater and not a
fit person to have the custody of the
child. AS proof of this there was re-
lated various instances of her con-
duct.
It was stated that she had sold her
stove for 40 cents TO buy the drug,
and that while her husband, was on
trial for murder in Colorado she went
to sleep at the trial Afidavits were
submitted from physicians TO the eff
feet that she had not used opium for
the space of one year. Il was also
testified that she had expended all
that she had for her husbands de-
Tense when he was tried for his life.
Judge Hodges awarded the child to
her father and grandmother.
