Antiquity of Cotton.

Cotton, this well nigh indispensable
article to modern civilization, derives
it's English name from the Arabic kot-
on. It is indigenous to the tropical
regions of both hemispheres. Her
odotus, $50 years B. c., makes the
first mention of it in history as the pro-
duct of trees in India, fleece more
beautiful and delicate than that of
the sheep, and speaks of cloth made
from it. 1t is quite probable that it
had been. known and used in that
country centuries before that date.
In this country the manufacture of
cotton cloth appears to have been
we'll understood by the Mexicans and
Peruvians long before the discovery
of America by Europeans. Among
the rich presents which Cortez receiv-
ed from Montezuma were curtains,
coverlets, and robes of cotton, fine as
silk, of rich and various dyes, inter-
woven with feather work, that rivaled
the delicacy of painting. The Mexi-
cans also fabricated the white cotton
cloth and even converted the material
into rude kind of paper. Of course
these ancient people didn't have the
gin nor the other modern appliances
of machinery and power, but theyap-
pear to have carried the manufacture
of cotton to a great perfection with
the distaff and spindle. So that the
cotton manufacturing industry of the
world, which to-day is perhaps second
to no other enterprise, has had an
infancy of centuries, and now seems
to be IN the prime of youth, with It's
manhood and old age yet to follow

How to Walk Erect.

Nothing contributes more to good
appearance nor to health than stand
ing or walking erect. The Adrancs
has this to say on the subject, and in
following which all would be benefit,
ed: The whole secret of standing ana
walking erect consists in keeping the
chin well away from the breast. This
throws the head upward and back
ward, and the shoulderssswill natur-
ally settle backward and in their true
position. Those who stoop in walk
ing generally look downward. The
proper way is to look straight ahead
upon the same level with your eyes,
or if you are inclined to stoop, until
that tendency is overcome, look rath-
er above than below the level. Noun
taineers are said to be as straight as
an arrow" and the reason is because
they are obliged to look upward 50
much. 1t is simply impossible to
stoop in walking if you will heed ana
practice this rule. You will notice
that all round shouldered persons car
ny the chin near the breast and point
ed downward.

AGE. no spirit, however firm ana un
Welding, could very long withstand
such an attack. Cone was determined
10 finish his work. He threw all his
great weight against the umbrella
which held him away from the man
he had determined to kill. 1t broke;
Stenhens half-fainting fell upon his
back. The giant Gone was athis throat
in a moment; his head, by q grip OF
iron, was held against the cruel floor [;
the keen and blood-dripping knife
was held aloft before him ready for
the last fatal thrust, but still the poor
male face of the little hero was set
and deiant-his black eyes still
flashed undauntedly.
"Retract, or I'll cut your cursed
throat!" Kissed Gone.
"Cut! I'll never retract" gasped
the almost lifeless Stephens.
Like a flash, the knife came down.
With an almost superhuman effort
the prostrate, man caught it IN his
right hand. Clean through the mus.
Giles, tendons and bones of the hand
it cut, then stuck fast and reached no
vital part. With desperate strength
Cone tried to wrench it free. With
a grasp almost of death the horribly
mangled and mutilated hand still held
it fast. In the struggle Stephens was
again dragged to his feet; the blood
was rushing in streamsfrom his many
wounds; his hold upon the knife
which sought his brave heart began
to relax; he was dying. But, even
when he believed the next moment
would be his last, strong men came
to his relief. The mailman Cone was
secured and held fast.
Then quickly the wounds which
Mr.. Stephens had received were ex-
amined. 1t was found that one had
penetrated to within sixteenth inch OF
the heart. An intercostal artery had
been cut. The doctors declared that
he would surely die. Happily the
predictions were not verified. His
life was saved by the unremitting care
Of surgeon, his devoted friend, who,
as good fortune would have it, hap
to be in Atlanta at the time.
When he recovered, with magnani-
ty of which few men ale capable even
of understanding, he refused to pro-
secute Gone, and that person, instead
of getting his deserts in the dark cell
of a State prison, was fined ST., 900,
and, with his "honor indicated"
was allowed to go free. To the day
of his death Mr.. Stephens spoke of
him in terms of consideration and
forgiveness. Not long ago, referring
to the terrible struggle have attempt
ed to describe, and showing me the
great hole in his mangled hand, he
said, with quiet and faraway look in
his deep, dark eyes, Poor Cone! I'm
sure he'd be sorry if he knew what
trouble I have to write with these
stiff fingers of mine.

efforts are directed to pumping the
managing editor or the galley-boy,
thew are alike fruitless. Every COM

Tried Her Own Remedy.

A lady in this city overheard her
nurse girl talking to the little child
she was putting to sleep, and among
other legends of the nursery in which
she INDUCED was this
eff you do not go TO sleep this very
minute great, big, awful black bear,
with eyes like Goals of fire, and sharp,
white, cruel teeth, will come out from
under the bed and e-a-t-y-o-u-a-l-l-
u-p!"
The poor little thing nestled down
under the clothes, and after a long
season of terror fell asleep to dream
frightful dreams of bears eating her.
That night when the stolid nurse
had composed herself in her own COM
Portable bed and had put the light out,
there came a sudden rap at the door,
and the voice of the mistress called
loudly at the door
"Maggiel Maggie! for mercy's sake
get up as quick as you can! There is
a fearful burglar under the bed, and
as soon as you get, asleep, he is COM
ing out to rob and murder you!
At the word burglar, the. girl sprang
from her bed, tore open the door and
fell in Mysteries into the hall. The
lesson was even more instructive than
the mistress had designed, but when
the girls fears had been calmed she
said to her;
You did not hesitate to tell my
delicate child, who could not possibly
know it was lie, cruel story of
bear under her bed. Now when /
treat you to the same kind of slumber
story you are nearly frightened to
death. Tomorrow you can go into
the kitchen to work, you are not fit
to take care of little children"
How many children are there who
every night of their lives, are fright
ened to sleepl-Detroit Post.

banking house Of the murdered Sig
nor Castillo. Approaching the cashier
Signor Alvarez, he asked that gentle
man some questions. While answer,
ing them the later became satisfied
that the man referred to by the clerk
| in the hair emporium and Alvarez
were one and the same, dark complex
toned, small black eyes, and wore a
heavy black mustache.
That night the. detective followed
Alvarez to one of the most noted
gambling dens in the city. Within an
hour he lost over five thousand dol
lars. For two weeks the officer dog
ged the mans footsteps. At length
it was decided by the detective to
bring his espionage to a close. He
had carelessly mentioned, one night
in his presence, the mystery which
seemed to envelop the murder of
Signor Castillo, and paller swept
across the face of Alvarez.
He was seated in the parlors of a
noted courtezan of the city, and his
reputed mistress, when one night the
detective rang the household. Upon
being ushered into the cashiers pres
ence, the officer quietly but firmly in
formed Alvarez that he was under
arrest on the charge of numbering
Signor Castillo. The woman on this
announcement, flew at the detective
like an Infatuated tigress, and Selling
him by the throat attempted to draw
q revolver from her bosom. In doing
so the weapon became entangled In
her dress, and was Internationally
discharged, the ball entering her left
lung and producinga hemorrage from
the effects of which she died before
medical aid could be procured.
Alvarez attempted to escape in the
confusion, but seeing the pistol of
the detective pointed at him he quiet
ly surrendered. While the handouts
were being placed on his wrists he sank
upon the floor and clasped the officers
knees imploringly.
ooh! do not take me before the
law," cried the wretched man. 81
did kill Castillo. l wanted money to
keep my mistress, and l took it, and
his life. Though she urged me to
5he crime, I hold myself wholly to
blame. For Gods sake loan me
your pistol and let me end the most
yretcled life in existence.
When being carried to the scaffold
% expiate his crime, he was heard to
Try in tones Of despair:
"Those hairs-those accursed hairs !
And must. I be hanged by three
lairs?"

Naturally it may be asked, why is all

it is passing from hand to hand every

silver certificates form much more
convenient for business purposes,
while the coin itself is stored in the

effects of abrasion, and from loss by
other causes. A majority of the
twenty-dollar pieces in circulotion
have lost SO much by abrasion that
they fall below the standard weight.
There are in the sub-treasury over
1000 half-dollars that have become
deprecated simply by ordinary abra'
sion while in circulation. This de-
probation sometimes amounts to as
much as twenty-seven dollars on a

also because they save time and troub-
