The Peril of First Love.

From the PhNadelphia Bulletin.
Even when her ideal man appears. a
young woman should not accept his at
tentions without careful consideration.
Such is the doctrine Of an experienced
Datron, who thus justified her belief:
There Is great risk in any girl blind
ly marrying her first choice. For one
reason, her mind being continually filed
with the figure of her ideal, she is apt TO
neglect the study OF other types OF men.
and thus she has no basis for COMPARE
son. The consequence IS that her knowl-
edge Of the male sex is so limited that
she can have no just estimate Of the
Ideal who. IN comparison with other
men, may be very far from deserving the
distinction the girl confers upon him IN
her thoughts.
II Is quite a mistake TO suppose that
the nrEt love is the best and tr7lest. one
might almost as well say that the Arst
piece Of work OF an artist or a mechanie
was always his best First efforts nearly
always bear the marks OF imperfection
and uncertainty, and love Is often the
same
The girl who wishes 10 be hapuilv
mated should be as careful Ia the choice
Of lie partner as IN any other inpor-
tant transaction Of her Life The ideal
man should be judged as cooIly ana i'm
partially as any other"

II is probable that American history
does not present another such remark
able decline OF an Industry as that shown
By the statistics OF hemp growing. Fifty
years ago this season the high-water
mark Of American hemp production was
reached. The crop that year yielded
100000 pounds OF fiber. more than half
Ct which was produced in the State Of
kentucky. To-day the annual produc-
ton OF the whole country amounts 10 less
than one-sixth as much as was grown In
Kentucky in 1853. One county of the
Blue Grass State produced as much hemp
then as the whole United States produces
now.
The latest figures show that there are
about Loo American farms on which
hemp IS grown to-day. with an average
OF 1876 acres TO the farm The average
yield per acre was 7Se pounds Kentucky
has IS per cent OF the acreage and about
the same proportion Of the total crop Il
raised there. sixty-nine out OF every
hundred pounds of hemp grown In the
United States is grown in five counties
or the Blue Grass region OF the State.
nearly all the remaining L per cent OF
the American hemp crop.
The reason for the decline OF hemp pro
duction is closely connected with the IN
rention Of the steamboat. When Rum
sey and Fulton were inventSg their
steamboats, they were signing the death
warrant or the hemp industry. AS sail
power was swept from the seas by steam
power the demand for canvas and rope
fell on Then came cheaper hemp from
other quarters Of the globe, and the de-
cline Of profits 10 a point below that
which could be made cultivating other
crops which win grow in Blue Grass soil.
It is the opinion Of the Department Of
Agriculture that the American farmer IS
losing millions Of dollars by the refusal
Of American Irvine manufacturers TO use
American hemp fibre ia the making of
binder Irvine A score OF years ago. when
the consumption Of binder Irvine was
5000 tons year. as compared with 49,
000 tons to-day. the department estimated
that II one-half OF II had been made from
American grown hemp the saving TO the
farmer would have amounted 10 81. 10000
But the Irvine makers would have nothing
20 do with the proposal OF the depart
ment that American hemp fibre should
be used. They declared it made soft
Irvine" which was not as satisfactory
as sisal or Manila Irvine. To this the
department answered with a letter from
q large harvester manufacturer. showing
that American hemp Irvine worked as
satisfactorily as any other in the opera
ton OF the barvesters. The efforts OF the
department never failed 10 restore Amer
lean hemp Irvine 10 favor
While the growing OF hemp in the
United States has become a negligible
quantity, the impOrtatiOns OF fibre have
increased ar a rapid rate. We are an
nually spending some S15000,o00 for the
10000 tons OF sisal grass that are import
ed, S1,000.000 for the $1,000 tons Of Manila
hemp, besides other smaller items. and
the importations are expected 10 increase
more than ever before. The Manila hemp
produced in the Philippines annually IS
equal in value TO the purchase price OF
the islands
