LETTER OK rKOFESSOU WATEKHOVSE.
Dear Sin: My interest in the indus
trial welfare of the country induces me
to address you upon a subject of great
economic moment.
Personal investigation in India have
fully convinced me that jute can be nat
uralized in the United States. The con
ditions of soil and climate in Southern
States and in California are suited to the j
growth of this plant. The commercial
importance of jute is now immense. The
culture of this staple now adds scores of
millions annually to the productive wealth
of India. Amid all the vast and diver
sified productions of that fruitful land,
only cotton, opium and rice exceed jute
in mercantile value. In 1872, besides all
the domestic consumption of jute, 700,
000,000 pounds were exported to foreign
countries. The United Kingdom now
annually manufactures more than 800,
000,000 pounds of the fiber.
The range of its uses is broad. It now
enters into the manufacture of almost
every kind of fabric, from the coarsest
gunny-cloth to tho finest satin. It is
claimed that the culture of jute is less
exhaustive to the land and more profit
able to the cultivator than that of sugar
cane or cotton. Tho plaut grows with
rank luxuriance. Sometimes the vield
per acre is 3,500 pounds.
The cheapnoss of native jute for bags
and baling would fae.ilitar th mnv.
ment of our crops and the revival of our
domestic commerce. The fertility of our
soil, the economy of our agricultural
machinery, our skilled labor and scien-!
tific supervision, and our superior chemi
cal and mechanical processes of treat
ment, will assuredly enable Americans
successfully to compete with the rude
manual industry of India in the cultiva
tion and manufacture of this important
staple. ,
Planters, chemists and inventors muv I
profitably direct their attention to this i "Up to a day before starting 1 con

bark, would open to ingenious minds un

Perhaps the Middle States, also, are
adapted to the growth of jute. Even iu
the case of failure, the experiments
would involve no serious loss; while, in
the event of success, the new industry
would enrich the nation. But in order
to avoid possible loss, the tests in the
Central States should be made on a small
scale. The experience of the nreseut
season will determine to what extent jute i
culture in the United States can profit- j

The Walking Woman.
The little yellow-haired German pedal-.
istic artist is resting at the Grand Hotel,
j and enjoyiDg,during the pleasant weather,
', the many sights of the city and its sub
i urbs. She appears to be in excellent
! spirits. Miss Von Ilillern is not a ready
talker, and in conversation requires occa
sional assistance from her maid. Says
she:
"When I was at school in Germany
three Tears there was a great deal of
interest taken iu walking, and I took
pleasure iu entering the contests which
were gotten up by the young ladies of my
age."
"When did you first appear in public
in this country?"
"In December, 1876, at the Boston
music hall, when I succeeded in walking
three hundred and fifty miles in six days
and nights."
"Do you consider these protracted
trials injurious?"
"Not in tho least. My system of liviug
enables me to go through them without
strain. I am sure if all the ladies would
exercise more la the open air they would
enjoy better health. Some of my Boston
lady friends now accompany me twenty
miles in the country. Whuu I first knew
them they would get tired iu five or six
miles."
"It has been stated that you use no
stimulauts?"
"No, indeed. That would bo in direct
opposition to my theory. I believe one
can do more without stimulants than with
them."
"Have vou auy objections to stat1ur
your diet?"
"None whatever. I eat rare beef.
baked or boiled potatoes, oatmeal, and
almost any good, substantial food that is
not fried. Pastry I never use; neither
tea nor coffee."
"What amount
f preparation is re
walk as you propose
quired for such a
this week ?"
less exercise.
"What distance have you walked in
public during the fourteen months sdnce
your debut?"
"About 2,:.")0 miles."
"Have you usually been successful? '
"Once in Worcester, Mass., I lost a
fifty mile walk by thirty-five minutes.
Again in Springfield, the 20th of August
the w armest day of last summer I was
defeated by time, fifteen minutes and
eight seconds iu ft walk of fifty miles."
"It would stem that company would
aid you. It certainly would relieve the
monotouy."
No, sir; I never h:ve any one walk
with me but my regular attendants, who
day she will exercise but litt!e,only atteud-
ingchurch. To-morrow she remains abso
lutely quiet, seeing no one, but leading
and courting sleep as much as possible,
in order to be better prepared for fight
ing the drowsiness during the long tramp.
She never pays any attention to chal
lenges from any quarter. She gives hev
own exhibitions of health, strength ami
endurance, and t ther people can give
theirs if they wish. Cincinnati Cotnnur

COURTESY OF BMiCROFT LIBRARY,
The Mo3t Precious of Gifts.
Health is undeniably a more precious gift
than riches, honor or power. Who would
exchange it for these, the chief objects of
human ambition? It is obviously the part
of wisdom to employ means for tho preser
vation of health aud tho prolongation f
life which time and experience have proved
to be reliable. Many of the dangers by
which health is threatened may be nullified
by the use of that most irresistible of cor
rectives and tonics, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which, by increasing vital power and
rendering tho physical functions regular and
active, keeps the system in good working
order and protects it against disease. For
constipation, dyspepsia, liver complaint, ner
vousness, kidney aud rheumatic ailments, it
is invaluable, and it affords a sure defence
against malarial fevers, besides removing ev
ery trace of such disease from the system.
