A PLEA FOR THE noTHER-1s-LAw,

From time immenorial the mother-in-
law has been slandered, and Is still con-
,sldercd fair game for inhuman man. This
sort OF thing has gone quite far enough
and progress demands change. The re-
latlonshlp OF the sexes has been written
up time and again, but no one has con-
sidered It worth while to tell US some
thing about the true relationship OF man
70 his mother-ln-law.
Mans nature Is but cowardly and mis-
erably weak, for has he not conceded
that the wife Is the better half? II this
be true, then the mother-in-law must DO
the better two-thirds.
What wonderful courage Is hers
Privations, insults. "hints." which fall

Her endurance Is simply marvellous,
and her tongue Is wonderfully and fear
fully elastic. But what does this prove?
II proves simply that she knows when
she's got the best Of you. and with her.
knowledge Is power.
Can the son-in-law cope with her elo-
quencc? Can no meet unhinchlngly her
gaze? What does he do? Coward as he /,

WAR ELEPHANTS.
Cannon Carriers While they March
with the British Army.

Cannon Carriers While they March
with the British Army.
Attached to the British Indian army,
which is now in Burmah trying to wipe
out the murderous bands of Dacoits that
are afrighting the country is an elephant
battery. Seven pound guns, including
their carriages, are fastened to frame
work and hoisted upon the backs of the
elephants. In this way the troops are
able to transport their artillery through
long stretches OF country where there are
no wagon roads, and where they would
not be able to take their cannon If they
did not have beasts Of burden strong
enough to carry the artillery on their
backs. When the troops meet the
enemy the guns are quickly un-
loaded by means Of a tripod, to
which is attached a swinging arm and
tackle.
The elephant takes more humble
place in war nowadays than formerly.
He used TO be one of the combatants, but
in these days of gunpowder and bomb
shells he has been reduced to the trans
portation department. Centuries before
the Christian era the rulers of Egypt
maintained stations as far south as
Khartoum for the sole purpose of collect
ing wild elephants to be tanned and
trained for war purposes. They were
used not only to carry archers and javehn
hurlers into the field, but were also
trained to rush upon the enemy and
trample them under foot. While oppos-
ing warriors on their elephants fought at
short range the elephants themselves
would fight each other. 1t is said that the
notion that the Asiatic elephant is sup
erior to his African brother dates from
the time when, in battle between
Antiochus III, King OF Syria, and
Ptolemy Philopator, in 217 B. c., the
Asiatic elephants in the army of the
Syrian monarch killed every one of
Ptolemy's African animals. This idea of
the superiority of the Asiatic elephant is
still held by many, though it Is probably

Writing on the crisis in Iceland a cor

that the truck system all over the land is

on altogether with Danish capital. At an
interest Of at least IS per cent, the inpe-

from the Danish capitalist, which the

sinks deeper and deeper in debt,

OF things now become that null

merchants To pledge all their earthly pos
sessions, and prospective earnings. more

are easily recorded. A lack Of Sufficient

Cotton Culture in India.
From. "a round the World"


In the western provinces, east and
north OF Bombay, in the Berar and Surat
districts, or throughout the level plain of
Hindoostan, cotton is one OF the most pro-
minent features OF agriculture. The
causes or influences that promote its pro-
duction here are among the most remark
able phenomena in nature. Here she
Celebrates one of ''the most beautiful and
useful of meteorological problems" tits
this: That the great deserts OF Central
Asia produce the cotton crop OF Hindoo-
stan. Hindoostan is Il fertile plain situ-
ated between the Himalayas on the north
and the Ghauts on the west Of India. Be-
tween these two great regions lies tue
cotton region of Hindoostan. The first
experiments In cotton culture appear to
have been made about Surat, 167 miles
northwest Of Bombay, producing staple
known By that name of inferior quality.
Here and at Baroda, English capital has
introduced improved machinery for the
cultivation of cotton, steam cotton
gins and presses for preparing it for
market.
The natives produce nearly all the crop,
SOW broadcast on beds three feet wide,
generally with the lentels (beans), or
some other crop which natures in ad-
vance or after the cotton crop. The beans
taken off, the young plants cultivated en-
tirely with the hoe. Inc best staple OF
cotton is produced in Berar district, uorth
OF Hvderabad, said to rival New Orleans
middiIngs. With the same meth)d DDS,
machinery and preparation for market
adopted by the Southern planters in North
America, Hindoostan Will eventually be-
come formidable competitor in the
growth and production of the cotton sup
ply for the worlds consumption. Xxx
perimonts made with American seed show
they deterlorate in lndia in a few years.
The best cotton districts lie be-
tween % and 33 degs. north latitude.
After planting there is little labor be-

cotton grows luxuriantly, soon covering

thousands OF little roller gins, like those
once used in Carolina ard Georgia. The
lint is then sold to the English buyers or
their agents, taken to the press at the rail-
