JtJTE AND RAMIE. T>isCoveries That Will Signify Many Millions of Wealth. Prom the St. Louie Republican. Prof. S. Waterhouse, of Washington Uni versity, is in a particularly good humor just now over the prospective accomplishment of a work that he has been engaged in for fifteen years past. In 1870-71 a report and recommendations of the Department of Ag riculture of the United States directed the professor’s attention to the cultivation of jute and its sister fibres. A year later dur ing his trip around the world, he studied the habits, peculiarities and possibilities of the fibre in its China home. His deep investi gation at that time satisfied him that Ameri ca might become the great jute country of the globe, and ever since his return from that trip his chief aim in life has been to educate the American public up to an ap preciation of the fibre par excel lence, in his opinion, of com merce. After ten years of hard study, able writing and the successful re moval of seemingly insurmountable obsta cles, he had the satisfaction of seeing large quantities of jute grown in the Southern States. Another barrier to successful jute culture arose, however, in the entire ab sence of machinery to free the fibre from its woody surroundings, and place it as an article to use in the weaving factories of the country. At the suggestion of scien tists, including Prof. Waterhouse, several governments of the Old World have of fered large bonuses for the invention of a successful decorticating process. Appar ently the difficulty could not be overcome, for notwithstanding the faithful efforts of able men the valuable but unwieldly fibre remained stubbornly hidden in its woody coat until within the past few months. The inventors in their researches had no clew to THE SOLUTION OP THE PROBLEM before them more than the methods—so incomplete and unsatisfactory—employed by the native Chinese and Hindoo agricul turists. These people, after cutting the jute, were accustomed to allow it to lie for a few days in the sun, until it was thor oughly withered, and then they submerged it in either cold running or warm stagnant water. If the cold running water were em ployed, the process of disintegration took several weeks, but from that process the fibre came forth white, brittle, strong and glossy. By the warm stagnant water pro cess, the disintegration of the plant was ac complished in ten days or less, but .the fibre seemed to have acquired an ugly stain, from which it was difficult to free it, and it was certainly less strong and glossy. With these physical facts to guide them, inventors, especially Ameri cans, have .labored unceasingly and well: ami it is the successful issue of those labors which has caused Prof Water house such wholesome pleasure. A fibre company of New York, a corporate institu tion formed for the purpose, has succeeded in disintegrating the resisting jute, and has so thoroughly aceompiistied the purpose in tended that another fibre of the same spe cies, namely, ramie, hitherto entirely un t raetable, lias been subverted to practical domestic uses. Prof. Waterhouse has re ceived several samples of fibre from the company, in various stages of disintegra tion, within the past fortnight, and also a letter explanatory of the process, which gave the result. John H. Brown, of Mil waukee, secretary of the company, writes t hat the fibre is freed from the wood in which it grows by treatment in a mild, dis integrating solution and by a circulating pressure; the mass of jute or ramie is re duced to almost a pulp, and through that are passed CURRENTS OF ELECTRICITY. “The acid in the fibre,” writes the Secre tary, “seems to have an affinity for the electricity, and its action is most satisfac tory’.” Of course, most of the process is a secret, but in the samples of its work sent to Prof. Waterhouse, the result is striking, to say the least. One specimen of the jute was obtained from Calcutta; in it the pro cess has only gone so far as to remove the outer bark—the brittle wood of the outside; each fibre is perhaps four feet in length, very strong and of a yellowish color. Most of the other samples w ere obtained in the Southern part of the United States, and a few from Old Mexico. The process is shown both in jute and ramie, in various stages of completion, the jute from the mere stripping off of the outer bark, as described above, to the preparation of the fibre for t he loom. The ramie, a much finer, stronger fibre, with greater possibilities, as concerns its range of usefulness, is shown to advan tage, and on inspection is certainly a most beautiful fibre. In its completed state of disintegration each fibre is at least four feel long—the full length of the plant from which it has been taken—fine as silk and bleached to the whiteness of the cleanest snow. “The qualities of the fibre,” said Prof, Waterhouse, “are largely those of silk; it so successfully imitates both silk and satin that one must lie a rare judge to detect the difference between the two. It has all the gloss of silk, is stronger—in fact, the strong est fibre known—is certainly as fine in the finished state, and lias the recognized advan tage of being independent in its culture of the slow process of the silk worm.” Refined ramie can be used for almost all the finer grades of cloth. From it is made seersucker, that is, the most expensive qual ity’ ; broadcloth is also woven ramie, and one of the samples sent to Prof. Waterhouse is a piece of seal plush. It is by far the hand somest quality of plush made —fine, soft as seal, beautifully dyed and heavy. Several other samples are dyed and tinted; ramie submits most gracefully to colors and holds them fast. • IN SPEAKING OF JUTE and ramie culture in America, Prof. Water house said that there were hundreds of thousands of acres in the 8011th, from the Rio Grande to North Carolina, that would prove highly lucrative if planted in either .iuteor ramie, and he was of opinion that not less than ?200,000,000 ought to be realized by the United States annually from the two industries. 111 Texas there is a mammoth ramie-growing company incor porated under the name of the “Texas Ramie Planting Association.” Its head quarters are at Yorktown, DeWitt county, Texas, and among other things it claims that in the coming spring it will be able to supply the country with either seed or roots. The company intends next soason to raise large quantities of the plant for textile pur poses. NEW YORK’S MARKETS FOR WIVES The Four Great Matrimonial Marts of the Metropolis. Prone the Philadelphia. Press. The four great markets for wives in New York are the Sunday school, the big stores and factories, the street, and the boarding houses. I have purposely arranged them in the order above because the greatest matri monial markets are the Sunday Schools and tlie least are the boarding houses. Mar riages are made in boarding houses, but the average boarding house keeper’s daughter is more apt to end an old maid than a wife. The reason is that it seems not to be good for tho girls for men to see them too much or in too varied a range of employment. It takes tho romance ami poetry out of the wife hunter’s head and the ' harm from a girl’s personality f r her to I■e seen on her knees scrubbing, or with her head in a towel sweeping, or sifting ashes in a slovenly wrapper. Of course, there are girls who can <lo every’ sort of housework with such an air and grace that even a level-headed lover will try to steal the broom or ashes sifter she has heid in order to have it for a keepsake, but those girls are not apt to bo developed in the dull and cruel grind of boarding house routine. In the Sunday schools the girls look their very best . Not ouly do thousands of ten der hearted young fellows attend them in order to develop a circle of lady friends for themselves, but just so do the myriad young " omen, who are either here without their lamilies or who are shut up in factories all day and live in parlorless tenements by tught. seek the same religious resorts for similar ends. It is a curious function that New York Sunday schools perform. They are resorted to by about TOO Chinamen, who go there simply-to learn English, and by thousands of Christians who go there to get mated. When I say the big shopping stores are great matrimonial markets I do not mean to have it inferred that the girls who stand behind the counters are given to wedding the male customers they wait upon. Such things do happen, I suppose, but not fre quently’ enough for consideration, the fact being that nothing could be worse for a counter girl in a big New York store than for her to bo courted while on duty. If her employers did not discharge her the other girls would torment her beyond endurance. Meetings between the girls and their beaux on the way home from work are not to be taken into consideration., for the lasses go home in troops, and are merciless teasers, so that this is also a rare occurrence. One of the big shopping stores, by the way, employs de tectives to see that no young fellows hang about the store at closing time to meet the counter girls. But there is a field for mat rimony that is directly in the stores, and is exceedingly fruitful. The male employes, buyers, heads of departments, men clerks, cashiers, and even the tnembers of the firms get very many wives from among the girls whom they meet every day and grow to admire, if their qualities are such as recom mend them. Acquaintances thus made lead to visits at the girls’ homes, to evening companionship and to wedlock. These same men and women in the big stores, by the way, are among the hosts that attend the Sundny schools. There are actually streets set aside for courtship by the parlorless poor. Upper Eighth avenue, where the little shops are; lower Second avenue, past the houses of the old fogy rich, and the bottom of Broadway, where all the great shipping and express offices are closed and dark—there are the great flirtation promenades of the tenement boys and girls. There are stupid folk who see the long processions of giggling girls, in their best bows and streamers, ana imagine them to be off the path of virtue, or slip ping off. But these are not the places where such girls are found, and lie who thinks ill of these girls had better not pre sume upon his ignorance or he will find them well able to take care of themselves. No; they- have put 011 their second best gowns, and the young mechanics and por ters have put on their best coats and plas tered their locks with oil, and botii sexes have sallied out to meet and flirt and pair off and walk home. They don’t know it, but they cannot help doing so. It’s nature. A NOVEL TAUGHT HIM THE TRICK. $3,000 Obtained by a Young Cuban on a Forged Check and Found Hid. Prom the Neto York Sun. A well-dressed young man, whose char acteristic face proclaimed him a Cuban, presented a check for $3,000, purporting to be signed by A. Y. Quintane for Fernan dez Brothers, of Havana, at the Bank of Commerce shortly’ after noon on Friday, with a letter to the cashier, reading as fol lows: The immediate object of this is to present our clerck, book keeper of ours house in Havanna, Mr. E. R. Arguelles. Please use to pay our check for $3,000, order E. R. Arguelles. Re spectfully, Fernandez Bros.. per A. Y, Quintane. Mr. Sherman, the cashier, had previously received by mail a letter similarly signed, which ran thus: Will you please pay our check to the order of E. R. Arguelles for $3,000? That is our clerk in Havana. The handwriting of the letters was differ ent, but tho signatures were alike, and they seemed to be Quintane’s. He is the New York agent of the sugar and tobacco house of Fernandez Brothers, in Cuba. The sig nature of the check seemed to be all right, kind the check itself was made out on one of Mr. Quiutane’s blanks. Nevertheless, Mr. Sherman took the precaution of sending the' check to Mr. Quintane’s office to have the signature acknowledged. The young Cuban, who seemed to understand’ English, al though he couldn’t speak it, remained in the bank while this was being done. Mr. Quintane was out. but one of bis two clerks, who was in the office, said he thought the signature to the $3,000 check looked like that of his employer. Mr. Sherman, therefore, paid over the money without having the dark coniplex ioned stranger identified. He gave him three SI,OOO bills. When Mr. Quintane got back to his office the clerk told him of the check, and he at once rushed to the Bank of Commerce to de nounce it as a forgery. The cashier then hurried to Inspector Byrnes’ Wall street bu reau, and Detectives Von Gerichten, Mul vey and Mulry immediately set to work. Asa professional scamp would have cleared out of the bank the moment the signa ture of the check was questioned, they concluded they had t > deal with an amateur, and as the description of the forger tallied with that of one of Mr, Quin taue's clerks, who wus out when the b nk’s messenger called, they jbrought the lerk, whose name is Joseph Quintero, to the bank to see if any one could identify him. Cashier Sherman thought he was the man, but the messenger was positive he was the clerk he had seen in Mr. Quintane’s office who had caused the check to be cashed by saying the signature looked like that of Mr. Quintane. He was accordingly not de tmued. The detectives, however, searched Mr. Quintane’s office. In one of the scrap bas kets they presently found a torn envelope directed to the Cashier of the Bank of Com merce, and further search discovered the fragments of a letter which, when put to gether, proved to be a draft of one of the letters introducing R. G. Arguelles. Armed with this proof, the detectives collared Quintaro at his home at 328 Bedford avenue. Brooklyn. At the Central Office, Inspector Byrnes, through an interpre ter, bulldozed him, after the French fashion, into confessing his guilt. He said he had been ledtocomniiting his crime by reading in sonic novel of a similar swindle. Tho three SI,OOO bills were found under the carpet of the flight of stairs lead ing to Qiiintaro's room on the fourth floor at 228 Bedford avenue. When searching Mr. Quintane’s office, the detectives were puzzled by discovering two shallow holes drilled around the combination of the safe. Quintero, in his confession, said he had made tho holes with tho idea of making it appear that thieves hud been in the place and stolen the blank forijr used for the forged check. Quintaro has been but six months in this country, which accounts for the queer English of his letters. French Courtships. Flirtation is not a French pastime, says Max O’Rell. A few married women may indulge in it, but girls, whatever may be said to the contrary, never do. A woman who flirted would pass in France for giddy, not to say fast; she knows her countrymen too well for that. She is aware when she coquets with them what she is exposing her self to. If French girls felt inclined for a lit tle flirtation how could they indulge in it? Good heavens! What would her mother and father say if they saw her taking a walk by herself during the day—if it come to their knowledge that a young man had ac tually dared to whisper words of love into her ear before he had laid bare his heart and made a clear statement of his finances to them in the first place.' Even when he has obtained the consent of the parents and liis visits to the house where his fiancee re sides are permitted, the young couple are not allowed to see each other even for a mo ment without the presence of a third party, and the little intimacies and endearments which, in America are deemed harmless, are, in France, rigorously banished and for bidden. The ploasant operation familiar to English lovers by the term of "spooniug” is absolutelv unknown to courtship as prac tised in Franca Cough* and Colds, Those who are suffering from Coughs, Colds, Sore Throat, etc., should try Brown’s Bronchial Troches.

Judge Allen, of Hamilton, Ga., has a mind full of anecdotes and nevor tires of telling them. He recalls with clearness e\ try incident of seeming unimportance which has transpired during his career. He has beard speeches from the lips of Webster, Clay and Calhoun. He can almost repeat a speech ho heard delivered by Henry Clay in a crowded street of Macon, when the orator predicted tho civil war. He was asked for a story, and ns his habit is, he hud sat for a moment quietly smoking his pipe. At length he placed his pipe In his pocket and said: “Well, I will tell you a real love story. It all happened twenty years before the war, when 1 was attending school at the Georgia University. At that timo there existed among the proud Southerners no greater prejudice than that against horse drovers. A horse drover was considered little better than a horse thief. I met one day a young man of this class and, in spite of my share in the common prejudice, I was struck with his easy manner. I saw enough of him to come to the conclusion that he would grace anybody’s parlor, so one day I asked him if he would not like to call on a yonng lady friend of mine. He said he would be glad to do so, and that afternoon we made a call on Miss PriggiiiH. Wo found that she hail already two callers, young men of the town. I introduced my friend, the horse drover, and you would have been amused to have seen the countenance of the young men fall. Scarcely a half dozen words were exchanged before Miss Priggins’ first callers made their exit. My friend took in tbe sit uation at once, but he had the good sense to not show it. After awhile, ho was turning music for Miss Priggins while she played upon tho piano. When she had finished, he was asked if he could not play. “I play sometimes,” was his reply. “Will you not play for us?” Miss Prig gins then asked. “He reluctantly consented. He took his position in front of the instrument and we were thrilled with music he made. He touched the keys of tho piano with the eare and grace of a master, and when he had finished and refused to play Riore he had won the friendship of Miss Priggins, who was 011 his departure cordial in her invita tion for him to call again. “Well, he made several pleasant calls dur ing his stay. He came back the next sea son and before he left town he and Miss Priggins approached the young lady’s father and asked his consent to their mar riage. ‘ “Since you both seem to desire it, I will not oppose your marriage, but if my daughter make a hard bed she must lie upon it. ‘ “It shall be as soft as feathers can make’ It,’ was the young man's pleasant rejoin der. “Tho wedding was set for Sept. 10. When he came for his bride everyone was surprised at the display he made. He wore an ex pensive suit and a servant in livery drove two magnificent iron grays to bis fine car riage. Someone, made bold by curiosity, approached the servant and inquired who the young man might be. , * “W’y, sir, my master is de riches’ man in Kentuck’, I ’xpeet, sir. He owns de fines’ farm in de country, and ’pears to me ha’f o’ Louisville.’ “Further inquiry elicited the information that the drover was really a man of means, who had traveled extensively and had many accomplishments. Suffice it to say Miss Priggins was willing to accept the bed she had made.” The Same Baths a Century and a Half Ago. From Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's Letters. I went to the bath about 10 o’clock. It was already full of women. It is built of stone, in the shape of a dome, with no win dows but in the roof, which gives light enough. There were five of these domes joined together, the outmost being less than the rest, and serving only as a hall, where the portress stood at the door. Ladies of qnality generally give this woman the value of a crown or ten shillings, and I did not forget that ceremony. The next room is a very large one paved with marble, and all around it. raised, tw’o sofas of marble, one above another. There were four fountains of cold water in this room, falling first into marble basins and then running on the floor in little channels made for that purpose, which carried the streams into the next room, something less than this, with the same sort of marble sofas, hut so hot with steams of sulphur proceeding from the baths joining to it it was imposible to stay there with one’s clothes on. The two other domes were the hot baths, one of which had cocks of cold water turning into it to temper it to what degree of warmth the bathers have a mind to. I was in my travelling habit, which is a riding dress, and certainly appeared very extraordinary to them. Yet there was not one of them that showed the least surprise or impertinent curiosity, but received me with all the obliging civility possible. I know no European court where the ladies would have behaved themselves in so polite a man ner to a stranger. I believe, on the whole, there were 300 women, and yet none of those disdainful smiles or satiric whsipers that never fail in our assemblies when any body appears that is not dressed exactly in tbe fashion. The first sofas were covered with cushions and rich carpets, on which sat the ladies; and on the second their slaves behind them, but without any distinction of rank by their dress, all being in the state of nature— that is, in plain English, stark imked, with out any beauty or defect concealed. Yet there was not the least wanton smile or im modest gesture among them. They walked and moved with the same majestic grace which Milton describes of our general moth er. There were many among them as ex actly proportionate as ever any goddess was drawn by the pencil of Guido or Titian— and most of their skins shining) y white, only adorned by their beautiful hair, di vided into many tresses, hanging on their shouldoi-s, braided either with pear! or rib bon, perfectly representing tne figures of tbe Graces. I was here convinced of the truth of a re flection I bad often made, that if it was tho fashion to go naked, tho face would lie hard ly observed. I perceived that the ladies with the finest skins and most delicate shapes had the greatest share <>f my admiration, though their faces were sometimes less beautiful than those of their companions. I fancy it would have very much improved the art of any master to .see so many fine women naked in different postures, some in conver sation, some working, others drinking cof fee or sherbet, and many negligently lying on their cushions, while their slaves (gener ally pretty girls of seventeen or eighteen), were employed in braiding their hair in several pretty fancies. They generally take this diversion once a week, and stay there at least four or five hours without getting cold by immediately coming out of the hot bath into the cold room, which was very surprising to me. The lady that seemed the most considerable among them entreated mo to sit by her, and would fain have undressed me for the hath. I excused myself with some difficulty. They being all so earnest in persuading rne, I was at last forced to open my shirt and show them my stays; which satisfied them verv well, for I saw they believed I was so locked up in that machine that it was not in iny own power to open it, which they at tributed to my husband. One of the highest entertainment* in Tur key is having you to their baths. When I was introduced to one, the lady of the house came to undress mo—another high compli meat they pay to strangers. After she had slipped off my gown and suw my stays she whs struck at the sight of them, and cried out to tho other ladies in the bath: “Come hither and see how cruelty th# poor English ladies are used by their husbands. You need tioasl. Indeed, of the superior liberties allowed you when they lock you thus up in a box ” CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE ( ENT A WORD.
