VEGETABLE WOOL.
Written for the CALEDoNIAN.1

Written for the CALEDoNIAN.l
About hfteen degrees of latitude
south of Panama, in the extreme
northwestern corner of Peru, flo wing
into the Pacific ocean, are the rivers
known as the Piura and the Chira.
In the valleys drained by these riv-
ers about $4,000 acres only of land
are available for the successful cult
walton OF very unusual quality of
cotton, the demand for which has al
ready assumed considerable proper
tons and bids fair to exceed the sup
ply,
That the popularity of this cotton
is the effect of soil and climate, ap-
pears to be proven from the fact that
the seed taken from this district and
sown in the department of Tea,
where soil and climate are appar-
emily similar, produces a fibre of far
less value.
This cotton might be called vege-
table wool, for when carded its re-
semblance is so close, its character
istics so similar, that it could be
readily sold as wool. When woven
in mixture with the latter the cotton
fbres cannot be determined with GER
tainty except by special test.
1t is asserted, on expert testimony,
that the mixture of this cotton in
the manufacture of wooden goods in
which it is exclusively used, is not,
strictly speaking, an adulteration,
for in many cases the cotton is more
valuable than the wool with which
it is mixed. 1t improves the quality
OF the goods and, reducing the ten
dency to shrinkage, it makes them
more durable and gives them bet
ter lustre and quite different finish.
This cotton has no counterpart in
any other country, and its price is
regulated, not by the price of other
cottons, but by that of wool, the
quotations ranging from ia to19h
cents per pound in 1890.
The annual product varies greatly.
During the year of greatest yield,
1886, about 100000 pounds were
shipped to England, Germany and
the United States. S. O. T.

II is a power and comfort for the
Christian to know that the prayers OF
those he loves 90 before him and follow
him. You and those who share life with
YOU are about to go on long Journey.
We wish to assure you ut its beginning,
when YOU are touched by the spirit that
is half sadness, half fear that you are to
have our prayers as your companions.
Modern travel abounds in projections
from danger, but in spite of all, it
abounds in peris May He who is on
the ocean and on the land keep you in
safety. In all seen and unseen sources
of harm He may see may He protect you.
You are to go where you have long
wished to 20; to the land where sacred
history began, where the fathers and
apostles lived, and where our Lord
found home "A place for His work and
for the cross. Into these countries you
take a mind well furnished with knowl-
edge of scripture. You will not need
your guide book to tell you where you
are. Your knowledge will be the true
travellers purse to receive and preserve
your experience and observation. Be
cause you take much with you, you will
bring much home again. We are sorry
to have you 90. You will be missed in
your places OF worship and service; but
we are glad to have you 90, for your Joy
in travel and study we shall make our
own, and in the future when God brings
you back you will come with larger gifts
OF knowledge and devotion. Please then
accept appointment from this Sunday
school to survey the sacred lands and re-
port to us. Believe me when say that
the childrens hearts will follow you; the
love OF those YOU love will accompany
You. The Lord bless thee and keep
thee The Lord make His face to shine
upon thee and be gracious unto thee
The Lord lift up His countcnancc upon
thee and give thee peace
