aENATOR aEORaE SPEAKS.


WASHINGTON July 25.-The snti-option
bill was then taken up, and Mr.. George
addressed the senate. he said he would
confne himself almost exclusively TO the
effect Of future dealings on the cotton In
dugsFy, which was the main lndus1y OF
Sie ntate which he In part represented.
This year cotton had reached the lowest
point OF prices reached by tin many years
gone by. He said the system Of futures
and options had produced this effect.
The principal cotton market OF the
United States was the cotton exchange Of
New Orleans. That institution dealt
solely in futures and options, and was
composed Of about 800 men, not one Of
them cotton planter. The only other
cotton market Of the United States was
the New York Cotton Exchange. Noman
who was engaged either In the produc-
tion Of cotton or of consuming cotton, no
man who was at either end Of the line,
production or consumption, was mem
ber Of either Of these exchanges, 90 that
IL the bill became a law, 1t would not
be much Of restriction on the natural
right Of American citizens.
Il would only interfere with 300 gen.
tlemen in New Orleans, and about the
same number (he supposedly In New York
men who never raised cotton nor han
died cotton in any way. In the year 1891
these two cotton exchanges had sold
35,OOO,OOO bales of cotton, while the &C.
tual crop was a little less than 100000.
He had the figures OF daily sales in the
New York Cotton Exchange which
showed, he said, that on one day in Feb
ruaEy, 1891, 1900 bales Of mythical" f"
"phantom" or "wind" cotton were sold to
the one bale Of real cotton. Was that, he
asked, real, genuine commerce, or was 1t
gaming? Having described the opera
tlon Of "futures" and "optlons," he asked
senators whether they would say that
these were not gambling contracts. The
men who took part In them might be, he
said, privileged by their wealth, their re-
speCtabillty, their church and Sunday
school connection to do q gambling busl-
ness without being called gamblers, and
30 he would not call them gamblers.

money from the state to conduct his cam

A saHant attempts to demonstrate,

A savant attempts to demonstrate, in
one of our scientific magazines, that there
is likely to be a scarcity of elbow room
among the earth's population in the
reasonably near future. He estimates
the present population of the world at
something less than one and hall bill
lion. The natural increase, he con-
cludes, will make the figure six billion
two hundred years hence, and this, he
declares, is the utmost limit of the
earth's capacity for sustaining human
life. The trouble with all these elabo-
rate estimates and deductions, maintains
the New YORK News, is that they are
based upon the hypothesis that man must
always live as he lives to-day. Con-
dltions will change as necessity crowds
population. Half the people of the earth
now rarely, if ever, taste meat. the
dense populations of China, India, and
some other countries live almost wholly
on rice. Analysis SHOWS that the banana
contains all the elements essential to
human life, and enough bananas can be
raised on an acre of ground to supply
one hundred people year. 1t will be

If recent statistics as to the con-
dition OF agriculture in the arid States
and Territories, and particularly as to
practical results of irrigation, are to be
depended upon, remarks Frank Leslie's
Weekly, we may expect that the move
ment in favor of the National policy of
irrigation will be materially strength
ened. The report submitted to the
census office shows that nearly thirty
mi lion dollars of capital is invested in
productive irrigation, and that the re.
turns have been over sixty five millions
of dollars, or about 2lo per cent. The
estimated value on June 1st, 1899, of
irrigated farms which originally cost
S77, 5000 was nearly 1927 900, 900.
That is to say, the irrigated lands arc
worth now four times their original cost.
There is vast expense of territory now
comparatively useless, owing to its arid
condition, which, with the introduction
of irrigating methods, could be made
fertile and productive, and it is becom-
ing question whether Governm ent aid
may not properly be given in further
ance of system which has proved, ac-
cording to the statistics given, SO i'm
msnsely beneficial.

UNCONSCIOUS SERVICE.

He drops them on barren strand,
And turns unconscious of the doing,
The waste into pasture land.

Weather Lore Of the Sun.

Among the people of all countries and
ages, says the st. Louis Republic, the
suns fedness on rising or setting has
always been regarded as omnibus. These
notions have furnished material for many
proverbs. An old English adags in.
forms US that
IL red the sun begins his race,
Be sure that rain will fall apace.
Even Christ allud des to the same popu.
lar Idea of the suns color and its rela.
tion to wet or dry weather, where he
says (Matthew XVII, Q, 81: "When it
is evening, ye say, It will be clear
weather: for the sky is red. And inithe
morning, 1t will be foul weather to. day
for the sky is red and lowering" 1t
may be remembered, too, how graph
ically Shakespeare puts forth this same
proverb in his "Venus and Adonis:"
Like red morn, that ever yet betokened
Wreck to the seamsn, tempest to tho fields,
Sorrow to the shepherd, wos unto the birds,
Gusts and foul flaws to the herdsmen and to
herds.
If we turn to European observations
we find that the Italians says: eff the
morn be red, rain is at hand," aud,
again, "it the sky be red when the morn.
ing star is shining, there will be rain
during the week" As is well known,
however, a red sups-t Is just as propit
ious as a red rising is unluoky-'a red
sky at night being shepherds de-
light" and according to a saying very
popular when the writer was q child
Evening red, morning gray,
Sends the traveller on his way.
In Germany it is commonly said that
"a red sunset and gray rising sets the
pilgrim a-walking." At Malta the stable
boy will tell you that "a red sunset says
Get your horse ready for tomorrow. T"
In '.Richard III. Shakespeare gives US
the same proverb in different words.
The weary sun hath made golden set,
And, by the bright track of his fiery car,
Gives token of a goodly day tomorrow.
Indeed, there are numerous proverbs
on this subject, all to the same purpose,
au ancient Scotch rhyme being as fol-
lows:
The evening rel aud the morning gray
Is sign of a bright AMI CHEEKY day;
Evening gray and morning red

Preserving Ropes.

In order to insure more safety in ropes
used for scaffolding purposes, particu-
larly in localities where the atmosphere
is destructive of hemp fiber, such ropes
should be dipped when dry into bath
containing twenty grains of sulphate of
copper per liter OF water, and kept in
soak in this solution some four days, af-
terward being dried. The ropes will
thus have absorbed certain quantity of
sulphate OF copper. which will preserve
them for some time both from the At
tacks of animal parasites and from rot.
The copper salt may be fixed in the
fiber by a coating of tar or by soapy
water, and in order to do this it may be
passed through bath of boiled tar, hot,
drawing it through thimble to press
back the excess of tar and suspending it
afterward ON staging to dry and hard
en-. In second method the rope is
soaked in solution of 100 grains OF

One of the strangest judicial proceed.

mediately after the witness finishes read
ing his "yellow OATH" a lighted candle
is handed to him and the paper is given
as food for the flames. To the writer's

been administered but once in an Ameri-

of tanning by electricity, which, it says,
is being used on the skins of stray dogs

required in the ordinary way. 1t is

How r snnet is Prepared.

Rennet is the dried stomach of milk
ted calf. The stomach used is that in
which the milk is found. 1t is emptied
of the milk and filled with salt and
hung up for week, when the salt Is
shaken out and it is stretched over a
bent twig to keep it.:spread. 1t is then
hung up to dry, and should be kept in
paper bag to preserve it from the flies
and beetles that might spoil it. For use,
a piece two inches square is taken for
100 pounds of milk aud stepped in warm
water for few hours, handful of salt
being added. Or the stomachs may be
stepped in brine after being salted, and
after some days sleeping the liquid is
strained off and bottled for use.-New

Number of fCat,le in the United States.

so, ,000,0 900 head. Their distribution is
given in the Census reports, but in these
the range cattle and those on ordinary
farms are not placed in distinct classes.
For instance, in the Tenth Census (1S8a)
Texas is credited with having 4,0O4,-
605 head of cattle, but whether they all
run out on the range or a part are kept
on small farms we are not informed. -.

the Arabian coffee plant, and the fruit is
larger. It has been reported as being
