THE SISAL PLANT.
A Weed Four Years Ago; Now Worth
100000 a Year to Nassau.

From the Rosary Magazine.
The cultivation of the sisal plant in the
Bahamas has increased so much in the four
years since 1t was introduced by Gov. Shea
that 1t Is pushing the sponge industry very
hard.
A writer predicts that the full develop
ment of the fiber plant will make a wonder

mercial world.

one OF the greatest pests, as 1t was almost
impossible for the native farmers to eradi-
cate 1t from the SOIL its hardy bayonets ap-
pearing In the midst of every crop and re-
fusing to be destroyed.
Gov. Ambrose Shea discovered that the
fiber Of the leaves when stripped of the
outer covering of green was the f1rmest and
whitest Of rope fbers, and, 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 ton OF fiber, and the plants last from
twelve to fifteen years. Only the poorest
and scantiest soil is necessary, and no eli
matte effects influence the growth of the
plant in the least.
All the available land on the island has
been bought up by capitalists since the sisal
boom. and the government has already re-
ceived fund of $3.50, 900 from bounties and
grants, which will be used in public works
spread to neighboring islands. and plenty
Of employment is given the natives at from
so cents to 81 q day.
They have also been allowed to buy gov
paying for 1t out of the first years crop. In
this way many OF them have become indie
pendent, a ready market always existing
for their products.

IRISH HOPEFULNEsS.
Sure, Things Are Never So Bad But
They Might Be Worse.

From the Guidon.
The Irishman sees everything through
rose-colored glasses. He Is supported,
too, by simple. sturdy faith, spirit of
resignation and unworldiness worthy Of
the saints Of old
The dread blight had fallen on the
fields in most Of the district where we
were visiting in Ireland and the potato
vines hung limp and brown. No word
of complaint was spoken. and when the
likelihood Of famine was mentioned the
answer came:
Danger. ma'am? Yes, there Is. in
deed, but God is good. He'll find a way"
So too. about the hay. The summer
had been terribly wet. and for days the
new-mown hay had lain on the ground. 1t
was an anxious time.
What will you do" I said to Mike. "if
surely be ruined
"oh. please God. it won't keep up" he
answered. He'll send us bright day
soon. just to see how well We'll use it."
What glorious night. Mikey!" I said
to the boy, as he and I and the donkey
drove home under the August moon.
"a fine night indeed. ma'am. Thanks
be to God for giving it to us!'
They showed us, on the road to town. a
gentlemans place where, In a stretch of
thickly wooded land, stood stump after
stump of giant trees. Four or five years
ago, when the winter was exceptionally
long and cold, the peasants suffered from
scarcity of peat. They begged this land
ed proprietor to sell them food, offering
not only to pay his price. but to fell the
trees and carry them off. He refused.
Again and again they begged, for the
suffering grew intense, but he would not
let his land be marred. One night there
came a wind SO frightful that it seemed
for time as II the big wind were
blowing again; In the morning the high
way along this proprietors domain was
impossible. Huge trees, blown to the
ground. lay across the road for dis
lance of two miles. and the forest beauty
was a thing of the past. The town au-
thorities ordered the obstruction cleared
away, and the peasants got for nothing
more than they had been refused for
pay.
Twas the hand Of God was in that,
ma am, I was told, for, with all the
wind, not poor mans cot was harmed.

. A further improvement on the build
of the window would be to make use Of
the clever invention which a lady pat
ented some time ago. The idea came to
her after long endurance of the trials
caused by perpetual changing and wash
ing of muslin and lace. The shape Of
her windows necessitated having drawn
muslin blinds fixed to the lower sashes.
but to avoid having to change these
every two or three weeks she had a
second frame and glass made to fit eX-
actly over the existing lower sash. and the
drawn curtain was fixed between the two
sheets of glass.
From the appearance of the windows,
seen from either the interior of the room
or exterior of the house, it was impossi-
BILE to detect any difference from the
usual order of things, but the saving in
the wear and tear of the muslin blinds,
the freedom from worry and lessening.
of the washing bill-for this was large
building with a great number Of win
dows-soon repaid the cost Of the fig
ments. The curtains might remain un
changed for a twelve month at least, and
even then could hardly be called soiled
when taken down.

HIGH JUMPING SHARKS.
Doubts Of a Sailor Who Saws He
Knows Something About the Big Fish.

From the South China Post.
You published in your paper on Saturday
avery curious story about a shark jump
ing fifty feet high in the air
The writer or author of this story, can
tain of a British sailing vessel, bound for
London, says that he fired a rifle shot at
a shark and badly wounded It, The shark
In question jumped so high out of the wa
ter that he cleared the mainsail with the
ease of a seagull
Now. dear sir. this is rather a trife
strohs. Inc captain states that they threw
some meat overheard to get the sharks
closer to the ship At the moment that the
shark made grab for the meat the captain
fired his shot. which shot made the shark
jump fifty feet out of the water.
We that have been at sea all know that
there is one kind of shark which has to Law
on its side before it can grab ANYTHING be-
tween it's jaws, and another kind which
has to lay on it's back to do So The con-
struction OF their mouths compels them to
take these attitudes. AS a consequence. the
shark in question was either lying on his
back or on his side.
A fish jumping out of the water makes
the following movement. The fish stretches
his back and bends him self in the form of
a crescent by bringing his head and tail
closer together. At the moment he wants
to jump he straightens his back again and
hits the water with the tail end Of his body
This force produces the power which en-
ables him to jump certain height
AS stated above. the shark, when fred at
was grabbing for the meat. and lying either
on his side or back. In this position he was
not able to jump out Of the sea. His move
ments in this position were limited to three:
he could either move ahead, sideways or
downward.
l will not deny that a shark is able to
jump. l have sharks jumping five
feet and six feet high. but that only when
they were hunting some victim. The first
movement OF q shark when wounded is to
dive downward into the element which is
his natural abode. and not to go and make
airship performance around the most Of
a sailing vessel

Wives Of Public Men.
From the Home Magazine.


1t has often been asked how much inf1u-
ence the wife Of public man bears on
his political career. This Is hard to esti-
mate, but this much is certain: The man
who comes to Washington, either as a
member of Congress of some other
branch of the government where his posi-
ton is one of prominence, is very unfor-
tunate If his wife is not one whom he can
trust to making her way socially; not
necessarily being a great social success.
but capable of mingling with the average
women at the national capital. For in
spite Of the fact that small percentage
of society looks leniently upon the married
couple who are seldom seen in public to-
gether, the average sound American be-
lieves in the comradeship of man and wife.

From Women and Progress.
Skill has not saved women clerks from
shameful under-payment. The first and
most pressing question for those interested
in women's labor Is How may the fields
of women's work be so widened that skilled
workers can no longer be obtained at half
their admitted value, and that even the un-
skilled may command a living wage? What
fields can be opened to them without I'M
