AMERICAN coTToN's RIVAL.
How the Fine Staple Plant was Car

E'roY, the pbiade1rh;a pa,o,a
IOIl III0 7 HIfdutIpnIa heVOId

One Of the most remarkable incidents
in the history of the textile industry of
the United States has been the enormous
growth of the imports Of Egyptian cot
ton. Within the past ten years this
foreign staple has secured such a foot
hold in the markets of cotton-exporting
America that during last year alone
there were sold in this country 10000
blles, or 2s.00000O pounds. valued at
S3,00J,000 These figures are Officially
certified to by the United States consul
at Cairo, who states that Egyptian cotton
first came into American use in the man
ufacturing of balbriggan hosiery Its in
creasiug use has however, been ever
since coincident with the development
of knit goods manufactures While IL
is far cheaper, it is said by experts to
be also far better than our Sea Island
cotton; and 1t has almost entirely
usurped the place of American cotton
abroad in the production of Isle thread
goods.
1t is the irony of fate that this cotton
if report speak true-came originally
from the very fields of the south 10 the
product of which it is now so formidable
a rival. According to the story, the con-
federate officers engaged by the Khedive
of Egypt to reorganizo his army imported
large quantities of Sea Island cotton seed,
which they sewed in the valley of the
Nile, and carefully improved upon in cul-
tu"e. The peculiarly valuable character
istic of the Egyptian cotton is said to be
Its power to impart a brown color and
silky lustre to knit goods. Ii this really
be its essential point of superiority over
the present American cotton, southern
cotton raisers should consider seriously
at once bv what means they may improve
their crops.
Since the civil war southern cotton
planters have fallen into the habit gen
orally of ginning the cotton Immediately
after its picking II is declared upon
good authority that better cotton was
made before the war when the seed cot
ton was stored as it was picked. and
afterward ginned at leisure 1t is be-
lieved that the former method of storing
before ginning gave time for the fiber to
absorb Just a little oil from the seed,
which imparts the brown color and silky
luster peculiar to the favorite Egyptian
cotton The dry and cut cotton as it is
now ginned in the south easily generates
electricity, which charges each fiber until
it stands so much on end that it almost
spoils il for use in spinning. A prelimi-
nary storage of from one to three months
might prove to be the secret bv which the
south could win back its lost cotton
markets.

One that interested the ladies of our
party more than all others may be thus
outlined: An Indian maiden loved a

she dld not love, wanted her; the father
OF the young Squaw commanded that the
question be referred TO the

In which the true lover was slain: the
maiden sought the victor stabbed him
fatally, and ended the story by a sapphic
