The Cotton Crop,

All the estimates of the cotton crop
for 1882 which have been made thus
far indicate decreased prod uction as
compared with that of last season. The
yield last year was in round numbers
six million six hundred thousand bales;
the estimate for this year is four mil
lion seven hundred thousand bales. or
nearly two million bales less. The
compilers of these statistics do not, of
course, claim strict accuracy for their
figures. and the actual result ten
months hence msy be of such chsrac-
ter o to make this computation absurd
and ridiculous. The meaning. prob

ers are at last beginning to nee the mis-
take of entirely depending on one
staple and that in future they mean to
cultivate other crops to which they
have paid little or no attention in the
past. It is also probable that the
breaking up of the. large plantations in
the South, which the census returns
show is being rapidly effected. has
more or less to do with the cotton situa.
ton. The large planter puts every
thing in cotton, but the small farmers
who are taking his place are prudently
raising something to eat as we'll al
something to sell.-IN. Y. Herald.

Can Rheumatism ba Cured Q

1t IS belief with many thst there is no
dis ase with which the human body NAV be
afflicted hui what has its antidote, and in al |
ages ana am-ng all people dligent search
has teen IN tde in Natures Laboratory for the
special ingredients aud applications TO cure
! bodily ail,ncL;s, and impart tone and vigor
TO the human system. Or all the ills that
flesh is heir to there is probably nothing in
the list Of character more annoyinr to the
patient than rheumatism.
The discovery of Brodie's Rheumatic and
Neuralgii Cure, which has had repeated
trials with invariable success, warrants the
! belief that Natures secret has at last been
revealed and that in future rheumatism and
Neuralgia will bear no terror, aud be classed
among d.seaStS Of cure.
This cure is the res ult Of many wears close
study Of Rheumatic diseases on the human
system and innumerable experiments to find
out a remedy. Like almost every other dis
ease with which the human body is afflicted,
physicians are not in accord regarding the
| method OF treatment, the prescriptions in
many instances being at opposite extremes.
As an immediate relief and permanent
cure OF rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lumbago,
Gout, Weak, Stiff and Swollen Joints, Con-
tracted Muscles, Pains in the Side or Back,
Sprains, Bruises or any Of the diseases con-
tracted by exposure, ii is conildentially rec
commended as being without rival in the
whole range of Materid Medica.

CinatlOu.

There are seasons, occurring at inter
walls, in which certain diseases strongly
tend to spread widely from their start
ing-points; or to break out in numer-
Gus cases with no appreciable connec
ton.
Little is known that explains this
epidemical tendency. The most expert
observer cannot forecast such season
nor, when it comes, detect any special
cause for it.
About fifty years ago the Influenza
swept from east to west across the globe,
swooping down upon a city almost
with the suddenness of o whirlwind;
but no one knew why it then came, or
knows now why it has not made its
appearance since.
These remarks hold true even OF
smallpox, though each case is but the
direct extension of the disease from a
previous case. 1t may exist for years
ina community without causing serious
apprehension, when, suddenly, it may
put on virulence, people showing a
special susceptibility TO it, and the
most vigilant precautions not being
able to prevent its spread.
In Boston for twenty-five years end.
ing in 1885 there was a trife over one
death from it a year; but in 1889 40
there were one hundred and seventy
five; in 1859 60 there were three hun
bred and eighteen; in 1928 there
were one thousand and forty; but the
next year only two. In 1872 the deaths
(seven hundred and thirty eight were
nearly one.tenth OLD of the deaths
from all causes. 1t ragged at the same
time in London.
During the epidemic of 1928, the
great majority of the deaths occurred
under the fifth year of age, and between
twenty AMI thirty. The explanation is
that vaccination is compulsory only
during school years, and expends its
protecting force in from five to ten
years.
The large number between twenty
and thirty were of those in whom vac
cination had not been renewed. Later
the susceptibility is greatly diminished.
It is feared that another epidemical
period is approaching. All young
people beyond Sabotage should be
revaccinated.

Sea-Flght.

1.-TWO Of a trade can never agree" is
an extreme proverb found literally
true at least between brutes of rival
strength and similar habits. Those
ocean monsters, the sword.fish and the
saw. fish, are too much alike to love
each other. An old skipper related the
following to reporter OF the New York
Sun:
was coming out of Chesapeake Bay
once, drifting along about five miles to
the south ard OF Cape Charles. Il was
a dead calm. All at once we saw q
great splashing around thirty yards
astefn.
went aloft, and saw saw-fish and u
sword.fish fighting. The saw. fish's
best chance was to keep in close
quarters, and the way he pounded that
sword fish was caution.
The saw would swing SO fast you
couldn't see it, and then the fish would
back off as if he was trying to tear the
other.
The sword fish hacked away at the
same time, but the skin of the other
WAS too thick, and so they had it, now
out of water and now in, for about ten
minutes.
All hands were watching in the rig
ging, but all at once the sword-fish
made of, leaving The other slash
ing away as if blind with
rage. It wasn't q second hardly
before big fin was seen ten feet off.
and like shot the sword-fsh had
struck the other, and jammed his
sword clean through him.
They both were raised in the air with
the shock, and then the struggle COM
mencea again. The sword tish WAS fast
and couldn't haul out, and the other
was half dead, 80 right here We took e
hand, lowered boat and harpooned
them both, rugged tackle and got
them aboard.
The sword fish had broken the back
bone OF the other fish, aud it was Sc
wedged in that they would have both
been gobbled up by the first shark thai
came along.

Edison and the Goose's Eggs,

Ihave spoken about Edison's patience
and perseverance. A funny story, the
truth of which several OF his friends
attest, has been told me by one OF his
enthusiastic admirers to throw into re-
lief these qualities. Gamblers, as rural
folks will know. fog with their wings
children who show themselves disposed
to interfere with Matching geese. When
Edison was a boy Of Z or 8. and still
wearing petticoats, boys clothing being
thought by his people too dear, it was
observed BY them. at the farm in Mich
igan where he was brought up. that his
bare legs were often badly bitten by
the gander. He was told to keep ont
OF that birds way and to let the geese
alone. The next spring hostilities
were again declared between him and
the gander. One fine morning Edison
disappeared. It was ascerlained that
he took with him . store of food. As
he was still missing at night great un-
easiness was felt. A search was begun
next day. The child was found in the
wood, sitting down and holding out his
skirts over sort Of straw nest that he
had made and hlled with eggs, which
he had taken from under an incu
batting goose. He wanted to see whether
he could not hatch Just as we'll as that
bird. The idea had set him in a feye,
twelve months previously, and he had
not abandoned it. Unphilosophical
parents whipped and scolded him.
An acquaintance to whom Michigan
farmer had told this curious anecdote
went to Edison and asked whether i,
was not fabulous. "No, it is quite
true" he replied. 81 was terribl,
disappointed when they pulled me of
my nest. and had not the courage to try
again. But if I went now to hatcl
those goese's eggs should succeed.
