Jui.e in Georgia, Macon July I.s.—Kodyors, VVor jdmm <fc Cos. of Macon, are leading the tight on the bagging trust, and in order to make their etlorts .suc cessful, tho firm intends beginning at the ground, so to speak. They propose to plant and raise jute. Withdhis end in view, Mr. Mitch ell Hedgers ot the above firm, will leave in a few days for Washington city, bearing a letter of inrroduc tion from Congressman Blount to Hon. Jeremiah Husk, saei\ t try o. agriculture. The object of Mr, Rodgers’ visit is to obtain a liberal supply of jute seed, a large portion of wnich Mr. Rodgers will distribute among the farmers of.the counties contiguous to Bibb to plant. Mr. Rodgers’ firm will also experiment at planting the jute, and they have appropri ated ;fi,ooo for that purpose. They see no reason why the jute can not be successfully grown here. It is raised in Florida, Mississippi.and Kentucky to a small extent Mr. Rodgers has mentioned the matter to several reliable farmers in this section and they are enthusiastic. Mr. B. T. Bay of Bibb, a success ful farmer, said to day: “Give me the jute seed and I will show you jute next year. “Mr. Rodgers states that the cheapest kind of machinery is used in making jute bagging, and he hopes in a few years to see jute bagging factories throughout the South. Mr. Rodgers says: *'Ascer tain as the sun shines we will suc ceed in successfully growing jute, and if our planting friends will dis play energy at once in the matter, success will surely crown our ef forts, We will then settle forever the bagging trust.” Rcdgers, Worsham & Co.are al so willing to subscribe several thou sand dollars to help the alliance men in this section to establish a large cotton seed oil mill in opposi tion to the present trust, as far as (his city is concerned. ‘ln this lat ter case,’ says Mr. Rodgers, ‘the farmers have the key, and our greatest efforts shall bo to help the planter to hold that key and keep said trust locked out.’ ” The man who lirat suggested the use of an X as the signature cf a per son who could cot write was ! o phil osopher. The fitness of things ahoutd have led him to select the cipher, which as a nantograph is eminently significant in mo t Cases.

Frank JI Stautfcr in Detroit Free Press;— -In Sweden if you address the poorest person on the street, y n must lift your hat. The same* coimleuy io insist-M upon ii yon piss a lady on tlio stairway. To place ycui band on the arm of a lady, in i oiy, is a grave and oi jee ionible familiarity. In Holland a Jady*is expected to te t 'e pncipbafely’ it she should enter a store or restaurant where men are congregated. She wads nnti! they have transacted their business and do parted. Ladies seldom rise in Spain to re c ivo a ta; !o visit nr, and they rarely at company him to tho door. A gentle man does not offer to shake a Spanish lady’s hand. For trim to give a lady (even his wife) his arm when out walking is looked upon as a decided violation of propriety. It a Spaniard says, when you retire after a yisit. •‘This house is entirely at yourdbpoi ad whenever yon may plea.-e to Savor i he wishes you to know that he re cards you ns one of the family—uno rle i o -oiros (cne of us) as they ex press it. If the words a.e not spoken vou <an conclude that you are not wel come to call again. in iA-rs a, amoug the aristocracy, a visitor sends notice an hour or two bef ore calling, and gives a day’s notice if the yisit is one of great impoitance. lie is met by servants before ho reach e? the house, and other considerations are shown him according to relative tank. The left, and not the right, is c msileied the position of honor. No Turk will enter a sitting room with dirty shoes. The upper classes wear ti'ht fitting shoes, with goloshes O'-er them. The latter, which receive all ths dirt and dust, are loft outside the door. The Turk never washes in dirty water. Water is poured over his hand, so that when polluted it runs away. In Syria the people neyer take off fheir caps or turbans when enuring the house or visiting a friend, out they always leave their shoes at the door. There are no mats or scrapers outside and the floors inside are covered with expensive rugs, kept very clean in M s lem houses and used to kneel upon while saying prayers. In China griei is associated with a whiife dress, in Ethiopia with brown, in Turkey with violet, in Egypt wirh yellow. Etiquette require, in Cbineso eon that each should compli ment the other and depreciate himself aid all his belongings. It is affirmed that the following is notan exagera tion: ‘‘What is your honorable name?” “My insignificant appellation is Chang.” “Where is your magnificent palace?” “My contemptible hat is at Luchan.'* “Haw many are your illus trous children?” “My vile, worth less brats are five” “H>w is the health of your distinguished spouse?” “My mean, good for-uothing old wo man is well ” Oa tho Eueiny'o —Th&re is an oid legend of the Middle Ages to the effect that once upon a time a church member died at a ball. Sat3n curie along and ;Ook his soul, and was flying off with it, when St. Peter find ng i- oat, put after him and demand ed a restoration. “He was a Christian j and I knew him,” said St. Peter, “e-id yon must give hi nap.” “Ctiristian! ’ exclaims! Satan, “why, I found him on my premises.” -‘lf that is tho erse 1 give him up,’ 1 said St. Pater. Do not waste wood suh:B. They crc a fertilizer. *NTew Millinew * • James I.
