A New Cotton Plant.

Attention is now attracted in the
South to new cotton plant, which
bids fair to prove immensely valuable.
For many years A. A. ouber, of
Macon, Ga, has been carefully ex>
perimenting to hybridize the cotton
plant that grows wild in Florida with
the common okra. The new plant re-
tains the okra stalk and the foliage of
the cotton. Its flower and fruit, how
ever, are strikingly unlike either cot
ton or okra. The plant has an average
height of two feet, and each plant has
only one bloom. This is a magnificent
flower, very much like the great mag
nolia in fragrance, and equally as
large. Like the cotton bloom, the
flower is white for several days after it
opens, after which it is first pale pink,
and gradually assumes darker shades
of this color until it becomes red, when
it drops, disclosing wonderful boil.
For about ten days this boil resembles
the cotton boil, and then its growth
suddenly increases, as if by magic, till
it reaches the size of big cOcoanut.
Not until it reaches this does the lint
appear. Then its snowy threads begin
to burst from the boil, but are securely
held in place by the okralike thorns or
points that line the boil. One mex
perienced picker can easily gather eight
hundred pounds day, and fast h nds
much more. Were the only saving
that of labor in gathering the lint, the
result of Mr.. Suber's experiment would
entitle him to the everlasting gratitude
of the Southern farmer. But this is
not all there are no seeds in the lint.
Each boil produces about two pounds
of very long stapled cotton, superior to
the Sea Island, and at the bottom Of
the boil there are from four to six
seeds, resembling persimmOD seed.
This new cotton, therefore, needs no
ginning. Such plant would revolu-
tionize the cotton industry of the
South.

Manufacturers Gazette: There is
no better use to which young man
can put in his evenings, his spare mo-
ments, than the study of some subject
to which he has decided to put his
energies; or if he cannot procure such
books, then by all means let him study
something which is related to his bust
ness or chosen profession. Keep at
work. It will all come in time.
Changes are always occurring, and
men are, and will be, always wanted.
There are too many make believes.
They may hold position for while, but
the men who understand their business
are the only men who invariably sues
coed, and if you are to be one of them
you must work in order to keep up
with the procession; and whenever you
begin to fall behind, just look at your
self and your work and you will find
the right man to blame.

In a passenger train that recently
left Liverpool for London there was
darkey who kept putting his head
out of the window. "Keep your head
inside" said the guard angrily.
"Whaffor ?" demanded the colored
one. "For fear you should damage
some of the ironwork on the bridge,
you idiOtW answered the guard.

A Georgia individual, who is well
versed in regard to cattle, says that
after the sap rises in the spring, cattle
driven from north to south a distance
of 80 miles or more are sure to die,
and those driven from south to north
will not die, but the cattle they come
in contact with will die. Driving
them east and west has no efiectupon
them.

Naming the Birds.
pbilodaIphia Times

Every now and then the geological
garden has pair of young birds sent to 1t
without any other information regarding
them than the whereabouts of their cap
ture. The persons who send them do not
know of what species they are, and think,
of course. that the ornithologists of the
garden will have no difficulty in giving
them their proper name. 1t is not gener-
ally known that some birds have four dis
tinct sets of plumage, and that the last
suit is lne one that is described in the text
books and by which the species IS de-
termined.
1--WE have lots of trouble about this
thing, said Superintendent Brown as he
sat in his comfortable office, surrounded
with zoologies, ornithologies, stuffed
monkeys, cabinet pictures of balloons,
and crocodiles' skulls. Now, there are
the American sea gulls. No one eau tell
what species a young pair viii Gevelop
into They have to be measured Tor their
final suit of clothes and put them on
before we can name them.
"Some time ago four raccoons were
traded off for two strange young birds.
We were much puzzled as to what they
were We knew they came from South
America and that was all we did know.
Those birds have lately put on their spring
suits and have turned out to be very rare
and ,aluable but they might have turned
out quite commonplace for all anybody
could tell.
