NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 29.-The cotton
exchange committee on statistics and in
formation submit the following crop report
| for October:
Louisiana.
Our letters from this State date from the
14th to the 23d inclusive. A light frost was
reported in one parish. The weather was
universally reported as favorable. A little
over one-half the crop is reported as having
been picked, and with the continuance OF
favorable weather the crop will be picked
out by Nov. 10th TO Dec. 1st. The yield
as compared witt last year will be some
what greater, the answers averaging an i'll
crease of ten per cent. The staple has
been injured by cry weather, which, at the
same time, has enabled the crop to be
picked cleaner and brighter.
Mississippi.
Thirty-one letters from twenty counties,
report little or no injury TO the cotton plant
from frost. The weather is favorable.
From One-half to two-thirds of the crop is
picked, and with good weather picking will
be finished between the 18th and 10Th of
November. The majority of the reports
estimate decrease in yield as compared TO
last year of about % per cent. Most of the
reports complain of the quality of the crop,
the lint beieg light and short, and conse-
quently less than usually yield of lint
from the gin is had.
Arkansas.
Universally favorable weather for picking
is reported by all of our correspondents.
The frost on the thirteenth and fourteenth
of the month seems to have done but slight
damage on account of the forwardness of
the crop, one half to two-thirds of the crop
being reported already housed, and the
finish is expected on the first of November
for the uplands, and before Christmas for
the bOttom-landS. The unprecedented
drOuth Of the past summer has evidently
injured the crop TO such an extent that the
finest picking season will not help the
damages. The yield is estimated from
twenty-five to SiXty-siX per cent. decrease,
the average being thirty per cent, as COM
pared with last season, though it is expect
ei the late planting in the river bottoms
will be better than at present represented.

The order Of the day was then taken up,
being the consideration of report No. Is of
the committee on canons with regard to
some relaxation in the rubricS on the office
for infant baptism. Rev. DR.. Chas. W.
Andrews favored a change and asked that
the prayer of Mewlets for such relaxation
should be granted because It was asked for
by Clergy Willes. 1t could be shown that il
contradicted some portion of the word Of
God; it had so far tailed TO teach
what it was intended it should
teach, and had proved a stumbling block in
the path of many good men which should
be removed. In conclusion he begged the
House of Deputies to accede to this re-
quest.
DR.. Adams, of Wisconsin, exclaimed: By
no means. sir.
Mr.. Hill Burgwalne, of Pittsburg, disa-
greed with such principle, as he believed
it would not be acting up to their constitu-
tional duties. He objected tn the change,
because it was not asked for by parties who
had been offended by its use, but by sym
pathizing brethren.

Bishop of Western Texas. The confirma-
,ion of Rev. DR.. Orrick, of York, Pa, as

Hungarian GrAss,

Among the recent innovations on
old time practice is the introduction
of the culture of Hungarian grass.
On account Of its producing about
double the average crop Of hay, no
less than that It's eaten freely both
By cows and horses, making a change
Of food, which Of itself promotes ap-
petite, tits becoming a common crep
in this section. 1t is usually sOwn
during the first and second weekof the
present month, and a crop Of wheat
after it is thought to do better than
after crop of oats. One peck to
halt a busheI per acre is the quantity
to sow, depending On the condition ol
the land: if this is not in good heart
the larger amount Of seed is requi-
site.
While Of latter years, there have
been undoubtedly many drawbacks
to the farming interests, the general
introduction on our dairy farms Of
sOwn corn and Hungarian grass, both
largely exceeding hay in product t.
the acre, may fairly be estimated on
the other side Of the account, ena-
bling the farmer to keep much more
stock on the same amount Of land.
Occasional change Of food for cur do
nestle animals is getting to be rec
ognized as Of much Importance 10
promoting health and appetite Cut
ting up with a machine and feeding
neither hay nor cornfOdder whole, IS
proved to be sound economy Steam
ing food is sure TO follow, as IS sOli-
ing instead Of pasturing The adop-
ton of these two last is only q ques-
ton Of time.

Jefferson two years after Ii began
to make its appearance from the mint
in 1892. 1t bore the head Of Wash

A Little Hero

A correspondent of the Boston
Globe, writing of the Mil River dis
aster, saws: "Some Of the wOrkmen
OF the brass works have little hero
of their own in the person of Jimmy
Ryan, Tom Ryan's boy lad about
twelve years of age, whose father
worked in one of the shops and lived
up at Williamsburg. When the news
first came to that village he got his
mother and seven little brothers out
of the house to a place of safety, and
then took q team and drove to Hay
denville to warn his father He and
Graves left the village together, and
those who saw them thought they
were racing horses. He reached
Haydenville after Graves and before
Hileman turned back, aud went
straight to his father in the brass
shop, and told him and other work
men what bad happened.-Many OF
the workmen say that they received
the first warning from Jimmy Ryan,
as did some people along the road as
! he came down"

Bcauty sleep

Sleep obtained two hours before
midnight, when the negative forces
are in operation, is the rest which
most recuperates the system, giving
brightness 70 the eve and a glow to
the check. The difference in the ap-
pearance Of a person who habitually
retires at ten o'clock, and that one
who sits up till twelve is quite re-
markable. The tone Of the system,
so evident in the complexion, the
clearness and sparkle Of the eye, and
the seftness Of the lines of the feat
ures, Is, in a person Of health, kept at
concert pitch" BY taking regular rest
two hours before twelve O'Clock, and
thereby obtaining the beauty sleep"
Of the night. There is a beaviness
Of the eye, a saliowness Of the skin,
and an absence Of that glOF in the
face which renders it fresh in eXpres-
sion and round in appearance,
that readily distinguishes q person
who keeps late hours.
