Early Closing.
Communicated.


1t has been suggested that the merchants OF this
town contemplate closing their stores three days
of each week by 6 O'Clock p. m. 1t is all well
enough for TIE busy merchant to allow himself
and clerks off certain time in each week, but it
has always been to the mind of your correspondent
whether it is really profitable to the clerks in the
long run. For the more time off, the more time for
lounging, which is idleness and idleness we are
told begets sin. The clerk or clerks after a
strenuous day of merchandising need rest OF
rather change little exercise at the ball, boat
bat or la Wn tennis is desirable. which cannot be
played successfully too long after sun set, fol-
lowed by an early retirement to rest. Ready
bright and early for his employer next day.
On the other hand. We ses the clerk or clerks
repair to the restaurant to smoke their cigarettes
and lounge around with apparently no perceptible
thought to advance their positions except to idle
their time away, long into the midnight hours,
not always ready bright and early for their
employer next morning,
Would it be better to keep them at the bench,
and make them so to speak more tired. to the not
unreasonable hour of nine P. M; less time for
lounging. possibly would inure to an earlier re-
tirement to rest, "For early to bed and early to
rise makes man healty, wealthy and wise."

THE STSAL PLANT.

NEW YORK, May 24.-The culti-
mas has increased SO much in the four
years since it was introduced by Gov
Shea that it is pushing the sponge in
dustry very hard.
A writer in the Rosary Magazine
predicts that the full development of
the fiber plant will make a wonderful
position for the little island in the
commercial world.
The sisal plant has always grown
wild on the islands, and has been look
ed upon as one of the greatest pests,
as it was almost impossible for the
native farmers to eradicate it from
the SOIL it's hardy bayonets appearing
in the midst of every crop and refusing
to be destroyed.
Gov. Ambrose Shea discovered that
the fiber of the leaves when stripped
of the outer covering of green was the
soliciting the aid of English capitalists,
he at once set to work to make the
sisal an important item for commerce
and now the income is nearly $1,000, 900
a year to the island of Nassau.
An acre of land will produce annually
half a ton of fiber, and the plants last
from twelve to fifteen years. Only the
poorest and scantiest soil is necessary,
and no climatic effects influence the
growth of the plant in the least.
All the available land in the island
has been bought UP by capitalists since
the sisal boom, and the Government
has already received a fund of $250.o00
from bounties and grants. which will
be used in public works on the island.
The sisal industry has spread to neigh
boring islands, and plenty of employ
ment is given to the natives at from
so cents to a dollar a day. 7
They have also been allowed to buy
land in ten acre lots At
$40 each, paying for it out of the first
years crop. In this way many OF them
have become independent, a ready
market always existing for their prod
