The New York Tribune, in an

The New York Tribune, in an
article about corn meal, regrets
that the genuine article is no long
ger procurable in the markets.
Thereupon The Nashville Ameri-
can thus lucubrates:
at is a curious, we may say
lamentable, fact that 'the right
kind of meal, has almost disap-
peared from the market place. One
must seek for it in the remote
hooks and corners of the far inter
ior where a few old fashioned wa
ter mills still stand along the alder
shaded streams. 1t is there that
the right kind of meal can be
found. 1t is the only kind fit for
use in making corn pone, hoe cake,
Johnny cake, mush, mullins and
eggbread. Ground from selected
corn on a slow mill, not bolted but
transferred from the family meal
barrel through the SITTER to the
tray! For the rest let Aunt Dinah
or Miss Mary look to it. 1t will
not appear on the table TO taste
like sweetened bran or dry saw
dust. If that is the kind of meal
The Sun and The Tribune are
thinking about it is the right kind
AS for New England meal, the on
ly kind we ever tried was made of
yellow corn, and meal made of vel
low corn is an abomination.

CANT DEPEND UPON NEGROES.

Confronted BY the labor problem
the Virginia Carolina Chemical
company, which operates plants
for the manufacture Of commercial
fertilizers in Savannah, Americas,
Montgomery, Mobile, Birmingham
and Memphis, has determined TO
introduce Italian labor and dis
pense with negroes entirely sccord-
ing to the Houston Post. The
superintendent of the company
says it is not a question of wages,
but of getting men to do the work.
During the past year 800 men, all
negroes, have been on the pay roll
of the Montgomery plant.
But the actual working force has
scarcely averaged more than 200
men day, and at times it has
been difficult to keep the machinery
going, so few was the number that
responded to roll call.
| The same superintendent says
two or three years ago when com
mon labor received 80 cents a day
the results were better, for since
the negroes have been receiving
81 80 a day they will not work with
any degree of constancy. The rule
is when the laborer has earned a.
much as s. or 81, he will lay of
for the rest of the week, as tina
amount seems to be sufficient fol
his needs, and the thought of tbs
morrow neyers enters his bead.
The experience of the Virginia
Carolina company is not excep
tional. Many Southern employer
of labor have within the past fv,
years substituted Italian labor TO
negroes because of the '1aying off
habit of the latter when they ha'
earned a few dollars. The habi
has accompanied the rise in wage
, which has been general through
out the South within the past fiv
or ten VeaIs,
1t would be well for the negr
if all negro leaders and the whit
: philanthropists who are eonceTne'
} in the higher education of tn
negro should concentrate thei
efforts to teach him to work AM
to impress upon him that constan
: hard work is essential to his saliva
ton. Employers in the South ar
: not going to put up with the clay
ing off, habit. If the negroes will
not labor constantly, others ar
, going to be hired to take thei
, places, and when this substitution
} has become general there will b
trouble for those who become idle
For idleness leads to crime anC
J crime leads to the penitentiary o
, gallows.

A Kurdish Tent.

The tents of the Kurds, in which
they seek the paSturage of the noun
tains in summer, vary much in size,
though in appearance and shape they
conform throughout to one plan. The
covering of the tents consists of long,
narrow strips of black goats hair ma
terial sewed together lengthways.
Along the center of the tent this roof
ing is supported on three to five poles,
according to the size, and stretched
out by ropes which, made fast to the
edge of the roofing, are pegged secure
ly to the ground. The poles within the
tent being of some height, usually
eight to ten feet, the edge of the tent
ing does not nearly reach the ground,
but walls are formed of mating of
reeds, held together by black goats
hair thread, which is often so arranged
as to form patterns on the yellow mats.
