The Greensborough Patriot in an arIi-

the following suggestion, which We think

lies there may not he much money; but
there is hone and industry and
energy, which may be readily made avail

Self.c0mmand.-Consider what il is
that mars more or less the fortune and the
happiness Of every man--what is il that
ruins more than half the human race i! To
this question, all moralists, sacred and pro-
fame, have one answer. 81. Paul Tell us:
"'rhe will is present with me, but how
to perform that which is good know

The prince Of English poets says:
"If TO do were as easy as 10 know what

women would be! Cicero and Horace,

and Lord Byron, grooming under The mis-

found il had Lost 1884 grains. Taking this
faci as basis, Gen. T.. carried oui these
statistics.
The cotton crop Of The United States
in 1913 was over two and half mil

average four bundled pounds each. and
The whole crop 10 be manufactured like
The yard above sperified. il would require
for lhe sizing two millions and half Of
barrels Of flour, or over twelve millions Of
bushels nf wheat. II was his impression
that something like one half Of The cotton
crnp is manufactured with sizing. Il is
said that more barrels Of -four are used IN
a year for The sizing Of The cotton manu-
features al Lowell Than were usually ex-
ported in year 10 Great Britain before
the rencenl famine. Ii is also said thai
fifteen millions Of yards Of calico are an
nuaIly manufactured in this country. which
alone would require over two hundred

rate found in the yard shove mentioned.
These calculations, necessarily loose and
imperfect, still show in striking light The
