Witt the arrival Of a single cargo of
more than a thousand emigrant girls
seeking husbands in the New World,
the matrimonial balance of trade ap-
pears to be setting strongly In favor Of
America. OF course 1t may be said, In
a general way, that practically every
single emigrant woman who comes TO
this country Is receptive candidate
for matrimony, but unusual interest
was aroused in the recent consignment
Of girls because they announced frank
ly that each one wanted a husband. 1t
may be remarked in this connection
that these bright, intelligent and pretty
girls from the upper countries Of Eu-
rope were acting upon exceedingly
good advice, for they said bluntly they
had no desire to tarry in or around
New York. They were headed for the
West, where they understood good hus-
bands could be found In abundance.
And each one who was interviewed en-
phasized the fact that she wanted a
plain, honest and Industrious young
man who was willing to work and
build home that both could share.
Not one of the candidates said she
wanted money, except as she should
join with her husband and earn 1t. The
girls wanted homes and loving, loyal
husbands, and they were willing to
trust the rest to the future. What a
happy contrast Is afforded by this In
stance of the matrimonial ambitions Of
the young women who come to us from
over the seas, with the aspirations Of
a majority of our own girls who go
abroad to marry foreigners. And this
contrast is illumined by current news
reports Of the half dozen or so mis-
cradle American girls who are prepar-
ing to come home after dismal expert
ences In wearing the titles they achiev-
ed. From the Duchess Of Marlborough
and the Countess de Casteilane down
to a dozen minor titled women born
upon American soil, the whole range
of domestic unhappiness has been I'M
covered to the world. They staked their
all upon foreign marriages, with social
ambition as the chief prize sought. 1t
is pretty safe to say that most Of the
emigrant girls who landed In New
York the other day with only the mod.
est and rational desire to marry good.
clean, honest American workingmen
will be happy and their lives will carry
out the right principle Of living. Being
poor, they are removed from the temp
tation of their less fortunate sisters In
whom the germ Of wifehood is crushed
beneath the glamour Of titular import.

BAMBOO PULP FOR PAPER.

Experiments In Burma show It's
Value for Local Use Only.
Consul General w. H. Michael, In re
Spouse to an American inquiry as to
the utilization of bamboo In India,
writes to the bureau of manufactures
from Calcutta as follows, says the
Washington Star:
"The general outcome of the expert
ments to ascertain the suitability Of
certain Burmese timbers, bamboos and
fbers for the making Of pulp for paper
manufacture, has, 1t is officially re-
ported. gone to show that the pulp pro-
duced from the Burmese woods expert
mented with, while 1t might find a
local use In Burma for the manufac-
ture of cheap paper, would not enter
into serious competition with the high
class wood pulps obtainable in England,
If exported as paper pulp thence. The
report estimates that a ton of I'M
bleached bamboo pulp could be pro-
duced in Burma for $27, including man.
ufacturing costs, interest and miscel-
laneous charges. This cost, supple
mented by the freight to England and
sundry dues, would be increased to $37
as the price delivered to London or
Liverpool. and considering the quality
of the pulp profit should be realized,
since wood pulp is valued at $40 to
$45 a ton. The value of the pulp for
local use In paper mill in Burma Is
considered to be undoubted and the
manufacture Of paper from bamboo
therefore offers favorable possibilities
as a new industry for Burma"
