ACCORDING to recent issue Of The
London and China Telegraph, the
cotton interest in japan is going
ahead in most remarkable way. In
1883 the production of cotton yarns
in Japan was less than LOCO, 600
pounds weight. In 1892 II had
risen to more than 1900, 900
pounds. This result Is due, Of course,
to the cheapness Of labor In Japan,
which renders the cost Of production
even less than in India.
AT recent conference in Edin.
burgh, Miss Morley, Of London,

AMONG the numerous talismans
which the Shah Of Persia carries
with him on his travels Is a circle OF
amber which fell from heaven in Ma-
hornets time and renders the wearer
invulnerable, n casket OF gold which
makes him invisible ut will, and a
star which is potent to make conspir.
ators instantly confess their crimes.
But that talisman Of good health and
morals, the bath-tub, the Shah does
not carry about. In place thereof
he has walls Of Araby odors with
which he perfumes his royal carcass.

A GOVERNMENT publication pictures
two Alaskan families OF Eskimos, one
civilized, the other uncivilizcd. The
latter are clad In skins and have sui.
len, injurious faces, while the former
appear In rather ill.fitting civilized
garments and were evidently alive to
the presence Of the photographer.
Perhaps the most striking contrast,
however, lies In the eyes. Those Of
the civilized Eskimos are well opened,
while those OF the others are mere
Sits. Doubtless this difference tells
the story OF differing household con.
ditions. The uncivilized Eskimo
dwells in a dim, smoky hut; his civ.
ilized fellow has learned to live In the
light.
The Atlantic coast below the mouth
Of Delaware Bay, and ut least as far
south as the Sea Islands that fringe
the shore line OF South Carolina and
Georgia, has many shooting lodges
and club houses belonging to wealthy
Northerners. The land in its usually
wild state, save where 1t IL suitable
for cotton growing, fetches very low
prices, and great domain may be
had at trifling outlay. The chief ex.
pense Is for building and mainte.

sportsmen have invested 81 600, 600
In Currituck county, North Carolina,
alone, and there are many thousands
OF dollars in such investments from
that point northward to Cape Henlo-
pen.
