Louisiana, as acquired from France,
included the territory bounded on tile
east by the Mississippi river from its
mouth to It's source, on the north by
the line of the British possessions,
on the west by the Pacific ocean to
the south line of Oregon.
The other boundary follows the
north line Of California, Nevada and
Utah as far east as the Rocky Noun
tains, and thence in general south
easterly direction, SO as to include
part of Colorado and most of Kansas
and the Indian Territory, and all of
Arkansas and Louisiana to tile Gulf
of Mexico.
Florida was for many years the OBJ
ject of ofcOvetOusness on the part OF our
government, which claimed now d
part and now the whole as included in
the Louisiana purchase. The United
States finally obtained it from Spain
in 1919 when Mr. Monroe was Presi-
dent. What was known as West
Notwithstanding the part of Ala
bama in which Mobile IS situated

IDLY. Texas, originally part OF Mex
leo, set itself up as an independent
republic in 1886. Its population con-
sisted largely of bold and somewhat
reckless adventures from the SOUTH
ern states. In one year Texas had
established independence after
sharp war with Mexico, and a few
months afterward applied for union
with this country.
The question remained open until,
having agitated American politics for
many years, and having cost Mr.. Van
Buren the Democratic nomination for
President in 1874, it was finally set
tied in 1915. Texas was annexed and
admitted as State of the Union by
a joint resolution approved by Presi-
dent Polk.
California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona,
New Mexico, and the western part Of
Colorado were acquired by conquest.
They were ceded to the United
States at the close of the Mexican
war in lS4S. Nevertheless, nearly
) $40, 100000 was paid to Mexico in set
J tlement of certain claims as the price
of the territory.
Excepting West Florida, this Is the
: only territory gained by the sword.
; Thus, the country became possess
ed of all its present territory between
Canada on the north and Mexico On
: the south. Alaska was purchased OF
Russia during Mr.. Jolnson's presi.
dency in 1867, and the sum of $780,.
600 was paid for it. It's total area IL
. almost the same as that of all thu
u territory obtained of Mexico by con
quest and purchase.

Looking upward through the shadows,
Though the eyes be veiled In tears.
Though the heart in secret sorrow
Trcmblcs in its fears.
Looking upward through the shadows,
When the sunlight fades away
Waiting through the hours Of darkness
For the perfect day.
Looking upward, sometimes dreaming,
Dreaming OF abygone time,
When the heart in springtime gladness
Bowed before the shrine.
Looking upward. though the springtime
In It's beauty has gone by
Waiting. though the shadows deepen
And deaths hour draws nigh.
Looking upward, sweetly resting,
AS though In peaceful dream;
Through the dark and misty shadows
sunbeams brightly CLEAN.
Looking 10 hope eternal,
When the shadows fade away.
When the sunlight In i,s beauty,
Reveals perfect day.

"There must be something RADICAL
ly wrong with the physical condition
of our women" remarked a doctor
who had just returned from the
Worlds Fair. "I know the show is
immense and overpowering, but l
never saw SO many women in various
stages Of fatigue as l saw in all parts
of the buildings and ground. heard
one exclaim, Just let me get back
home to my comfortable rocking
chair and I'll never leave it again.
Then it flashed on my mind that the
rocking-chair has indeed been one Of
the curses of the age. / remember
once hearing a wise mother say to her
daughters that only idlers and lazy
gossipers ever had time to loll in a
rocking chair, and that she would not
permit one of them in her house. In
consequence her girls all made active,
healthy women. / looked at the wo-
man who was signing for her rocking
chair and l observed that she had
what is styled the 'rocking-chair
back, one that is good for nothing
and has to be propped up by all kinds
of artificial supports and be subjected
to all kinds Of quack treatment. 1t
seems to me, now that think Of it,
that a rocking chair develops nothing
but indigestion and tongue, and that
as knowledge becomes diffused and
the female mind awakens to its own
weakness, that woman will emanci-
pate herself from the rocking chair
habit and that she will make herself
healthier, wealthier and WISER

great annoyance. The State board OF
Railroad Commissioners has decided
that no railroad has the right to COM

to have such rule, but 1t is frequent
ly a great nuisance to the travelling

American Cotton.
Nashville American.

Nashville American.
The New York Sun shows that cx-
elusive of the cotton grown and con-
sumcd in Asia, South America, Afri-
ca and Mexico, the United States
furnishes 10 per cent. of the worlds
supply, the cotton Of commerce. As
cotton fabrics are so generally used
throughout the civilized world the
above prodigious contribution to the
commerce of the world shows what an
important position America hole S to-
wards the old world. Turning back
to the civil war we see how strongly
this was emphasized. The enforced
extensive suspension of cotton grow
ing during that period caused the
price of the staple to bound to fabu-
lous proportions, and the most threat
ening disasters were caused in Eng
land and elsewhere by the uphcaval.
In the face of all this it is rather hu'
initiating to contemplate the prevail
ing low price of cotton. With Amer.
lea holding such leverage upon the
worlds supply, it looks as if there
might be some means whereby she
could exert an influence to enhance
the market value Of the staple.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.
No Trace of W-ccik2s,o IN tho Deepest OF
t;;c Occan'6 Depth.

No Trace of WrcciS2:;o IN tho Deepest OF
tf:e Occaan'o Depth.
An extraordinary circumstance that
has been noticed with interest and
that always creates surprise when first
learned is the entire absence of foreign
matter in the deepest part of the
oceans floor. OF all the vessels lost in
mid-occan; of all the human bciuga
that have been drowned; of all the
marine animals that have pcrished; of
all tho clay, sand and gravel let fall by
disGolving icebcrgs; of oil the va
riors substances driftcd from every
shore by shifting currents, no trace
remains, but in their place water from
one thousand to twenty-five hundred
fathoms in depth covers the uniform
deposit of thick, blush, tenacious
slime called globigerina oozc, says the
Cosmopolitan Magazine.
y bit OF this under powerful lens
is declared to be q revelation of beauty
not readily forgotten. The oozc is
composed almost entirely Of the dam
tiest, most delicately beautiful shells
imaginable. At depths greater than
twenty-five hundred fathoms the bot
tom of the sea consists mainly of prod
uct arising from exposure, for almost
inc0lculablc periods, to the chemical
action of sea water, of pumice and
other volcanic matters.
This finally results in the formation
of red clay deposits that arc considered
characteristic of the profoundcst
depths of the ocean. Carbonate of
lime, which in the form of shells of
foraminifcra makes up 80 large part
of the globigerina ooze, is here almost
entirely absent.
Soda water is very nearly a universal
solvent, and before any shell, large or
small, reaches the bottom of these ire
mcudouG abysrnS it is chemically eaten
up, literally disSolved-a result which
the enormous pressure of the water
must materially hasten.
At one Thousand fathoms the weight
of the water pressure on oil sides of
an object immersed to that depth is
very nearly one ton to the square inch,
or more than one hundred times that
sustained at the sea level, and ut the
greatest depth the pressure is SO in
creased that it would seem nothing
could Withstand it; in fact, heavy
metal cylinders let down with the
sounding apparatus are sometimes, on
being drawn mp again to the surface,
foand bent and collapsed; strongly
made glass vessels which the metal in
closed are shattered into fragments

They Arc Always Drawn by Dogs anu
Women.
No matter now much IN American
has heard of foreign milk carts drawn
by dogs. and often by dogs and women.
it always seems odd to sec such
strange team, says IIarper's Young
People. The dogs have pretty harness
es, and draw bright green carts, but
they look really unhappy, as if they
had no pleasure in their work. They
trot along with their tongues out of
their mouths, and when they meet an
other dog they cannot even stop to
bow to him. An American child would
say: "Poor doggie!" 1t is said that
some countries have made laws prohib-
ting dogs from working as milk-car-
rtcrs., and in Il few years dog millsmcn
may ho u sight Of tho past. 1t is queer
that there arc so many kinds of millc-
cans III thc WCrld In America mill; Is
carried in glass bottles and in small
round tin cans. In England a pretty
tin 1nilIi-DGn il used, furnished with a
brass handle and q wide brass huge to

which ere seen in tho little European
