hard to hold it.

NKTTliKS TAKI4 I’l.ACK GOTTON
AMSTERDAM: Nettle fiber. as a
substitute for other textile material,
seems to have come to stay in Ger
many. The government bureau en
trusted with the “nettle exploitation"
in a circular eulogizes the grammar
school of Lansberg, the pupils of |
which collected a large amount of net- j
tie stalks, and says "if every school
in Germany did the same we should
he easily able to dispense with Am
erican cotton.” The government circu
lar at the same time urges all towns
and communes in Germany to plant
nettles, as “processes have been per
fected to such a degree that the fin
ished article not only replaces, but
excels cotton.”
