They prance all over the town, and gad about and read novels, and don’t do a blessed thing to help their father maintain the family. A girl whose father is on a itrain ought to make her own clothes and some more besides. if she doesn’t know how, she should learn. Kvcry member of the family should at least earn their salt and pepper and pickels and chewing gum. A girl of eighteen who can’t make her own clothes is not fit to be a wife, much less a mother. Rich or poor, they ought to do something useful. Get up early and fly round and sweep and dust and look after the dining room and the lamps, After break last go to that sewing machine and make it hum andjurie like your grandmothers did the spinning wheel.

In his recent address Col. North cm referred to thin question, treat ing it on Hie ground of tenantry, But say what wo will, the hired la j bor of this country in becoming more unreliable and more difficult to utilize every year. At present a farmer who begins the year’s work with hands sufficient to handle, lus plantation, has no assurance that he will, in six months, have force enough to work even one half of the land put m cultivation. This is due to tho fact that law does not successful ly reach the laborer; or punish him tract. propel ly for the violation of tho con- j The bill in question provides nm - ply for this matter. If a laborer ] leave* an employer without good ; and sufficient cause, he is amenable to prosecution and the wages he may earn with his new employer is like wise subject to any amount which ] ho may have overdrawn under bis original contract. Tho last employ er is likewise made a party to the suit in tho event that he retains the bolting employe after he has been properly notified by the first om plover. This matter is something which domamls attention. There is no calculating the amount which is lost every year on the farms of Georgia through the abandonment of the crops by contract hands at a time when thcii* labor is of greatest mo inont. And it is generally at the season when every moment is precious and when one day’s work is worth a dozen ordinary ones, that those laborers bolt theircontractsand scekemploymontelsewhero. For that reason it is impossible to estimate the damage in dollars and cents. There is another point. This abondonment and violation of their agreement , tend to demoralize the labor which remains. The other contract bands, while they may not quit outright, wiil slight their work, and take ad vantago of their employ ers in every possible mannner. Every interest demands an im provement of the labor system and our legislators should put themselves to the work of remedying it. Tho bill referred to has been favorably commented on, and it is to be hoped it will become a law. The w»mi. » »t *»«"»» n».u. Bl>nk *. Alliance Advocate. The Hon.

For several years there has been a show of competition in northern markets between the output of southern furnaces, and that of northern furnaces. The southern ore has found a market of its own and has managed to hold it in the face of Much draw backs as naturally grow out of a new situation that amounts to an experiment. The com petition of southern iron has not as yet had any serious effect on northern furnaces, but the fact has been demonstrated that iron smell ed tn Alabama can compete with the Pennsylvania product in its own markets. A correspondent of the Manufao Hirer’s Record, who is described as a gentlemen who for twenty or thirty years has been closely identified the industrial interests of the south, and who is intimately ac quamted with the workings of most of the leading iron companies of this section, gives some very impor t.ant information. He says that a large number of new furnaces will shortly be built in Alabama and the south,, no intimation of which has heretofore been given to the public, But by far the most significant statement made by tne correspon dent is to the effect that the money which will be put in these new plants has been made out ot those that have been running, a fact that will cause the northern iron produc ers to open their eyes. Tho correspondent says that the southern furnaces have made more money during the past year than they are willing the outside world should know. lie declares that there is many a stack now running in the south that is making iron at §8.50 a ton, and he knows of none making iron that cost over §11. In regard to the failure of some southern furnaces, a fact that has been used to discourage the invest ment of capital in that direction, the Record writer says that every fail tire thus far can be traced to two causes: One is an entiio insuffi eicney of working capital, and the other is ruinously bad management, Either one of these causes would be sufficient to produce failure, but both combined insure it. It need not be supposed that the facts which the Record’s correspon dent sets forth are hidden from the keen eyes of investigators either at the south or the north. There is not a day in the week that parties capitalist from the north are not surveying and investigating the sit nation oHIus section.

But. bound hand and foot to the merchants, thev can not change. Clearly a man who has no money cannot instantly adopt a cash system of buying. The man who has no basis of credit cotton, must clearly agree to plant cotton when he asks for credit, and to plant it and fertilise it pretty much as the money-lender scribes. Colonel Northen is right in saying that, though the farmer is wrong, and knows he is wrong, he cannot right himself Oy simply " de termining to do so. “But can’t he make a start to wards righting himself? Though he is obiighed to buy something on credit, can’t ho lessen his credit purchases? Though the merchant demands that he shall plant cotton and buy fertilizers, can’t he reduce the cotton acreage so that he can get a few acres in something else, and let his fertilizer bill decrease as his compost heaps increases? There are many reforms that do not de pend on cash. To give closer per sonal supervision to the farm; to utilize and-widen the petty things about the place; to practice econo my, and to cut every corner close— these are things the farmers’ can a nd climate will do.

The in termunduaro of dent mute, in this country began about 1820, and since that time their increase has been much more rapid than the increase of the country’s population. From 1S30 to 1880‘they increased about 400 per cent., while the population ‘ increased only about 100 per cent. In 1850 the population was 23,000, 000 and the number of deaf mutes was 9.803. In 1880 the population was 50,000,000, and the number of deaf mutes was 33,878. From these figures it appears that while the pop illation was a little more than douht ed in thirty rears the deaf mutes were more than trebled. The in crease of deaf mutes was more than double that of the population. Prof. Graham Belle has given a great deal of attention to deaf mutes. and said he is satisfied that if they continue to intermarry they will be a very considerable‘'percentage of the population in tho course of a comparatively few years. He be lieves, from what be lias observed and the information he has been able to obtain, that in at least 90 per cent, ot the deaf mute man iages, both the contracting parties are deaf mutes. The reason of this is that there is more sympathy between deaf mutes than between a deaf mute and a hearing person. Some scientists, who are experts on heredity, have expressed the rather startling opinion that if the practice of deaf mutes marrying deaf mutes is continued, the result will be “the promotion of a deaf va ricty of the human race in America, in which all or most of the children will be born deaf.” This would be a very undesirable condition of affairs. *««-- How Can Parents allow their children to cough and strain anil cough and calmly say, “Oh ! it is only a little cold,” and keep giving them cheap and danger ous medicines, until they aro down with lung fever or consumption when they can be so easily* relieved by BEGGS’ CHERRY COUGH SYRUF?

To accomplish this results he gives the following advice. 1st. Begin by* laying off ono-half of the land you have usually culti¬ vated ahd secure it from stock by a good fence. When this is d me realizo that your great object is lo make that half of your farm pro duce more the first year than the whole did the last vear. 2d. Gather together in one com mon mass everything which may help lo form a valuable compost, lo prevent waste place your mate rial fo, the compost heap in a ditch doe tor tl.e purpose and into it damp all the scrap,n K s Iron, your wood yard stable, cow and sheep lot. uml m ’" b f fact, u l c “ every K fP l othei 'V. s “P “? ayailuule UI >’ onr ditch ts nearly filled, when you should prepare a similar receptable for the future accumulations. The compost mass should be kept suf ficiently moist to promote fermenta timi; cover it so as to protect it from the sun and also secure it from the rains. 3d.
