The cotton plant, which has for so
many centuries furnished large part of
the population of the globe with cloth
ing, seems to be almost without limit in
its usefulness, remarks a scientific au-
thority.
From the seed q valuable oil is ex.
pressed, while the husks form an article
OF food for cattle in the shape OF cakes.
From the lint which clings to the seed
after it has passed through the "gin"
felt is made. while the oil extracted from
the seed is applied to quite large mum.
Der OF purposes. But, according to the
British Consul, Mr.. Portal, of Zanzibar,
Africa, cotton seed is also capable of
yielding sugar. A process has been dis
covered for extracting sugar from cotton
seed meal, and, though the details of
this process have not been disclosed, it
is SAID that the product obtained is of
very superior grade, being fifteen times
sweeter than cane sugar and twenty times
more so than sugar made from beet.
This indicates that sweetness is not due
to cane sugar, but to some other chemi-
cal.- Scientific American.

which, he AYERS, would do away with

''People not habitually great eaters
are guilty OF serious indiscretion in the
time and manner Of taking food. Half
the people know have violent attacks
Of indigestion because they persist in
eating hearty meals when in an exhausted
condition. They seem never able or
willing to realize that there are times
when the system Is IN no ct state to
grapple with full meal. They come
in tired and hungry, almost ravenous,
not thinking that maybe good deal of
what they consider hunger Is gastric
irritation, then sit down to table and
overtax the already strained vital powers.
As a rule no person should eat when
very hungry. The wise thing to do is
to drink cup of water with three or
four tablespoonfuls Of milk in, sit down
five minutes and then begin slowly to eat
and eat very sparin"lvn

A Poets Turn of Luck.

when six years ago Joaquin Miller
went tic California ami bought tract OF
land a mile east of Oakland peonle
laughed, writes L. W. Box. And for
number of years the poet himself al.
most believed that the people were right.
Miller bought at that time what was
probably one OF the most unpromising
pieces of property in California. The
tract consisted Of 100 acres, and nearly
al oil 1t lay on steep and stony noun
tam side. The eccentric poet went at
the cultivation of his new possession with
a will. And he did mostly all of his
work alone. Soon the property began
TO show the hand of progress. But II
requires work of the hardest kind. And
during all this time the land was fast
proving, even the peer almost believed.

Springs were introduced; trout brooks
were stocked; walks aud drives were
made. Water is. plentiful on the place,
and that counts for everything on Cali
fornlan place. The poet is now, | am
told, beginning to see the rewards for
his labors. He ships his roses to Den
yer in the winter, and four weeks ago
one OF his first shipments came to the
New York market. The roses are of the
finest specimens, command good prices,
and from this branch of bis possessions

Miller may soon acquire neat little in-

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends TO personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
Inc needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive: effectually cleansing the system,
dispclling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man

The Chinese do everything back
wards. Their compass points to the
South instead of to the North. The
men wear skirts and the women
trousers; while the men wear their
hair long. the women coil theirs in a

women carry burdens.
The spoken language is not writ

and any notes are inserted at the ton.
White is used for mourning, and

took a drive around the city. The pro-

had also consented to appear at the

THE TALK IN JACKSONVILLE.
OF course, the fight is all the talk In
Jacksonville and the local sports are con-
tinUally discussing the different points of
the two contestants. COrbett is generally
conceded to be the favorite, though the
earnestness with which the Englishman
is entering on his work, has given mat
tiers an added interest and bets are being
pretty evenly divided. Mitchell had
been well advertised before his ar
rival, which probably accounted to some
extent for the hearty greeting extended
him. He has already become a fayorite
with many.
The main question which the Jackson
vile sporting fraternity is interested in
is whether or not the fight will be
stopped by the authorities. Some say
that it will be allowed to go on without
interference and that Gov. Mitchell's
proclamation will act as a dead letter.
Others look on the matter in different
light, and say that Sheriff Broward will
inforce the governors orders under any
and all circumstances. Those in charge
of the fight, however, do not seem to be
at all alarmed, as they are going ahead
and making all preparations for the fight,
Gov. Mitchell's orders to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
