This years cotton crop in the United States
is estimated at Liverpool at c OOO, 600 bales,
the largest crop ever grown in this country.
The fall rains did considerable damage to the
cotton so that the money value of the crop
will not be much more than that of last year
when there were $50, 600 bales less. But it
is good showing for the year, and gives n
significant indication of the productive capa-
bilities of the Southern States.

How Il Myth is Started.

Ignorance and natural exaggeratlon
are the source of most of the "buga-
boo" tales and superstitions that scare
communities of simple people. The
Popular Science MontAly, suggesting
"How myths originate" remarks that
many legends of the ancient world
probably had q foundation in actual
eveRts-as much SO as the "kidnaper
scare that excited the North German
peasants several years ago:
The report had spread far and wide
that all Catholic children with black
hair and blue eyes were to be sent out
of the country, some said to Russia,
while others declared that it was the
King of Prussia who had been playing
cards with the Sultan of Turkey, and
had stacked and lost forty thousand
fair-haired, blue-eyed children and
there were Moors. travelling about in
covered carts to collect them ; and the
schoolmasters were helping, for they
were to have I've dollars Tor every child
they handed over. 90 -
For time the popular excitement
was serious. Parents kept their chill
dren away from school and hid them,
and when they appeared in the streets,
the little ones chung to them with terri
fed looks. 81 -
DIR. Schwartze. the well-known myth
ologist, took the pains to trace the ru-
NOR to its sources. Its prime cause
was the Anthropological Society OF
Berlin, who, without thought of the
commotion they were stirring up, had f.,
in order to class the population us a
race, induced the authorities to have a
census made throughout the local
schools, to ascertain the color of the

A HoMELY Observation-Disclosures are
overrated by many people. We have
always maintained that they are not
wholesome. However, q single onion
may be eaten at dinner with relish as
we'll as single pickle; bat there is
perhaps no vegetable more misused
than onions. We know housewives
who imagine that they cannot possibly
make a good soup without onions,
while all tke effect is to flavor the
kitchen and the house with their odor.
In boiling them the very volatile and
abominable onion flavor disappears en-
tirely by volatizatien in the air. Some
people use them as o medicine for all
diseases; when any one has q cold they
are given boiled or fried Onions to eat.
and when the cold gets better Of itself,
as is the case with all colds, the onions
get the credit Of it. Then they slice
onions and apply them to rheumatic
joints-in short, onions are used ex-
teriorly as we'll as intsriorly for most
all kinds of common diseases, and it is
to be regretted that some other less
unsavory and inert article has not at
tanned the reputation that onions have
undeservedly reached.
