The c'above statement, which We have
condensed from the Financial Chroni-
Gle, will interest our cotton-growing
readers. There are some suggestive
points in the comparisons of increase
In the various countries. The decrease
in spinners' orders in the past year
in Great Britain, Is doubtless due to
the same law of trade which is being
felt, though not in so marked degree,
In the United States; the transfer Of
manufacturing to the cotton fields.
The English factories are being drawn
upon for India, as those of the
New England States are coming
South. A separate showing Of the
takings Of the Northern spinners and
those In the Cotton States would show
. much greater per centage Of increase
in the latter. A noticeable feature Ia
the statement Of per centages; the
land of protected interests showing a
less increase than tho Continent, aud
no greater than free trade Grea,

young dream, says the Washington
Post. George b. Jawkins was to be
married in one short week to Marie
Annie Tunglctltty. In seven days
Marie Annie would merge the house Of
Tungletitty in the proud name Of Jaw
kins. Yet was George B.Jawkins not
entirely happy. Ever and anon as he

carking care would creep over his face.
Fight It down as hard as he could, yet

around aud stare at him.

of George b. Jawkins. But with the
stern integrity of man who has

Annie. As they sat together that even

Worlds Consumption.

One thing the foregoing statement
clearly sets forth, and that Is the rapid
and almost uninterrupted growth in
tho worlds consumption Of cotton, the
only check to expansion being from
1883 to 1885. Comparing the first year
(187S.79) with the last (1S8S-S9) we
find that there is an increase In the ag-
gregate In the eleven years Of over 50
per cent. During this same period
the gains in the various countries have
been. In Great Britain so 5-8 per cent,
Continent 81 l-2 per cent, United
States 80 1-2 per cent and India 232
per cent. Mr.. Ellison estimates that
the world will require in 1ss9-9O from
all sources 9,996,OO0 bales of the aver
ago weight Of 45S pounds, making III
0S8,000 bales of 400 lbs. each. Aud on
this basis an American crop of 1885,
900 bales of ordinary weight will be
needed. His estimate of the amount
required from each source ofsupply is

To obtain q comprehensive idea Of
the amount of cotton consumed In the
world we must go step farther, and
include the United States and India.
We showed in our Annual Crop Re-
port that the mills in this country have
increased their use Of cotton each year
since 1ss4-s5, and i'm the last season
their consumption reached 2,6S5,000
bales Of 400 lbs. average weight. The
annual report Of the Bombay Millown-
ers' Association furnishes evidence Of
the marvellous growth of the cotton
manufacturing industry iu India. 1t
shows, first, that on June 80, 1889, the
number Of mills working and In course
Of construction was 124, q gain OF 10
during the year, and that spindles had
increased 27S,S47 and looms 2,065.
Furthermore, the consumption Of cot
ton rose to s70,7S0 bales Of 400 lbs, or
an excess of ss,2l0 bales over June 80,
1888. As Of interest In this connection
we give the following, which shows
the progress made by Indian mills
during the past fourteen years:

REMEDIES FOR YELLOW FEVER.
A Scientific Discovery That May be of the
Greatest Value.


Greatest Value.
Atlanta Constitutional
1t was announced some time ago that a
South American physician had discovered
Instrumentation would prevent yellow fever.
He claimed to have discovered the germ of
the disease, and announced that a solution
thereof, so to speak, would prevent the dis
ease. Nothing has been heard of this doc
tor or his experiments for some time, but it
is too early to say that he is humbug and
his methods fraudulent. He may be en-
gagged, even now, on experiments that will
be of incalculable benefit to humanity so
far as the yellow scourge is concerned.
Just now, however, another claimant
comes to the front with specific for yellow
fever. This claimant is DR.. James Thor
ington, who is the physician and surgeon to
the Panama Railroad Company DIR. Thor
lngton has resided at Colon for seven wears.
and has devoted special attention to yellow
fever, which prevails on the isthmus at all
seasons of the year.
One of the problems of medical science
has been to find such remedy for the vel
low fever microbe as quinine is known to be
for the microbe of malaria-that is to say. a
remedy that will destroy the microbe with
out injuring the patient. DR.. Thorington,
after making various experiments, discov-
cred that cocaine possesses the remedial
properties when administered before the
case has progressed too far.
He made this discovery in 1887. and since
that time has had every opportunity to con-
firm his impressions. DR.. Thorington saws
that previous to the use of cocaine, black
vomit was marked symptom in the cases
of yellow fever that came under his observa-
tion, but now it never appears in any of the
cases where cocaine has been employed from
the start, and he declares that this drug
rarely fails to check the vomit and quiet
the stomach even when the patient has not
been seen until the fifth or sixth day. No
toxic symptoms result from the use of CO.
caine in cases of yellow fever, and DR..
Thorington says he has never seen any other
bad symptoms from its use.
All this is important enough to attract
attention. The whole thing may be hoax.
On the other hand, it may be discovery
worthy to rank with that of Jenner.

and we had to be very careful after tn at.
But in spite of all that we were overtaken
one day by big steamer that was full of
soldiers and guns. We had a terrible fight.
During the battle cannon ball hit me and
knocked me over clear into the sea. How
long 1 f1oated around do not know, but
suddenly saw a young man with hand
some uniform in the water. / made one
dash for him and saved his life. He em-
5raced me very affectionately and we stayed
together for three days, when we luckily
drifted ashore The young soldier was
greeted by a number offriends, who wanted
to take him away, but turning around to me
hesaid:
THAT mast saved my life. and am going
to take it home and have a table made from
it" And so ne did. 1 was carefully taken
from the water and shipped away in a big
car that was pulled up by steam horse
learned since that it was an engine. Well,
a carpenter in Chicago formed me into
large table, and remained that way until
there was big fire in our house one dav.
Every thing was burned out, and I was the
only board that was left of the table. L
found my way into another lumber yard,
and have been living a very low life since.
From one ash heap to another have been
pushed and knocked about until 1 got here
the other day. The servant found me, and,
picking me up, she said:
'It will make a nice piece of firewood."
The cat went away when the oak had fin
ished the story. She evidently did not
think much of it.
you listen to my story" said the pine
stump. 81 have had more exciting life
than you had."
But before the pine could begin Bridget
came in, and when she noticed the fire was
getting low, she took the oak board and the
pine stump and burned them up.
