Cultivation of Rnrnte.
A plant promised as n substitute
for cotton is ramie. It is cultivated
for tho Alior of its bark, which when
■properly prepared is long, silky, du
rable und very bountiful. The yield
also is large under favorable aondi
tions. But those conditions are a
warm olimute isemitropicab anil very
rich soil mainly alluvial soil. These
- limit its cultivation to certain regions.
It could not lie cultivated with uny
proHt on the poorer grades of land
on which so much of the cotton crop
is grown. While rumie will grow
successfully on very rich soil only,
it also mnkes extraordinarily heavy
demands U|sm the soil.
Tlie richest land is soon exhausted
by it unless constant restitution of
plant food Is Hindu. When success
fully grown and large yields ob
tained thm* or four cuttings are
mode iu one season, amounting to
some 20,Olio' or more pounds of dry
matter, perucro. Tlie removal of so
largo a quantity of almost auy kind
of vegetable growth from an acre
must, of necessity, tako away a great
deal of its plant food. But rnmlo
takes more proportionally than other
textile plants.—Southern Farm.

In a little shop on Munjoy Hill a

How tho Ituttcrlly In Protected.
Uutil lately it was not recognized
that the orillinnt coloring on the
wings of rouie kinds of butterflies
was a hitter tasting pigment, which
to a certain extent protects those
species from being eaten by their
foes. Frogs will try to eat sulphur
butterflies. nud after ta-sting thorn
will promntly reject them. Tho
brilliant colors may be producod iu
order to advertise the nauseous taste,
as well ns to aid the butterfly in at
tracting a mate of its own kind. We
mny be equally ignorant of tho Intent
social powers of birds. London

A little boy i:\ the Northside publio
school recently handed in to hte
teacher the following composition on
“Our Breath:” '
Our breaih -'M made of air. If it
were not for out breath we would die.
The breath keeps going through our
liv.r or lights and our lungs. Roys
shut up In a rooiiKnl) dny Should not
breathe. They should wait until they
get out doors.
Air In a room has.oarbonocldo In it,
and carbonoctdc is poisoner than mod

a black liele In India, a carbondcidc
got into that there hole, and afore
morning nearly every* one- of them
there poor men was dead. \
Girls wear corsets which squeeze
the diagrams too much. Girls cannot

“Senator Colquitt made n speech tu

and l’at Cnthoun was there nlso. Roth
of them are opposed to Mr. Cleveland,
and both have their personal reasons
for their opposition. Among other
things Senator Colquitt told Ills audi

No matter in what business a
man enters; nothing tends to suc
cess more than polite and just
treatment to those lie may serve;
and having this as our motto, with
extremely low prices as a helper,
we are bound to receive encour
agement from the business people.
Our greatest aim is to please our
customers, and if the best goods,
just weights and prices are favor
able to this eud our patrons should
certainly feel delighted. We have
no understanding with any mer
chant as to a -certain price on a
named article. We only charge a
reasonable profit, and work for the
welfare of those who favor 11s with
their trade. We keep our stock
up to the standard, and will be
glad to have every one call and ex
amine our goods and prices. Re
member we lead in low prices and
others follow.
All that we ask is an impartial
trial, and we are sure that we have
a permanent customer in all who
favor us. Very Truly,
