An interesting feature of the latest
bulletin of the Agricultural Depart
ment is chronological table, giving
summary of events relating to the
growth and consumption of cotton.
1t appears from this record that the
first cotton mill in the United States
was built at Beverly, Mass, 1887.
Eight years later a good quality of
Georgia cotton was offered in New
York at thirty seven cents pound.
When the nineteenth century be-
gan there were five cotton mills in
the United States, and its manufac-
ture had been begun in Switzerland
and Saxony. In 1903, duty of 1892
a pound was imposed in Great Britain
on raw cotton imported. Cotton was
in great demand during the last ten
years of the eighteenth century, and
prices were constantly very high. In
1889 the long drought and cotton
worm both tended to shorten the
crop. The famous cotton planters
convention was held at Macon in this
year, and led to annual conventions
at other places.
The report says of the decade end
ing 1858: So far as prices are concern
ed, this was the most remarkable de-
cade in the history of cotton planting
in this country. Not only was the
lowest price on record reached in the
United States, but it was the longest
known period of continuously low
prices. It was remarkable also for
unprecedentedly large crops, with
one or two exceptions, and for the
enormous accumulation of stocks in
Great Britain.
The reverse is true Of the succeed
ing decade. Both planters and man
ufacturers enjoyed period of unex-
ampled prosperity during this decade.
Although there were wars and politi-
cal disturbances i'll Europe and a fl
nancial panic both at home and abroad
1855, with suspension of specie
payments in New York, consumption
increased greatly in Europe and
America, keeping fair pace with the
gradually increasing crops, and thus
prices with unusual uni
formity and profit to planters and

THE EGG DANCE.

One of the most wonderful of the
manv feats performed by Hindoo Jug
glers, SO the Philadelphia Times tells
us, is the egg dance.
Usually it is executed by girl, fam
tastically dressed. She makes use of
the willow wheel, around which at
equal distances are threads, and at
the end of each thread there is moose
held open by head.
This wheel the girl places on her
head. while she carries a basket of
eggs on her arm. When the music
strikes up she begins to dance, and
the wheel begins to spin round. She
then takes an egg from the basket,
places it in one of the thread nooses,
and throws it with sufficient force to
draw the knot tight. The spinning
of the wheel keeps the thread stretch
ed with the egg at the end of it.
She then takes another egg from
the basket, places it in another moose,
and repeats it until there is an egg in
every moose. Her fantastic dance,
her perfect motion and all the eggs
swinging on the stretched strings
make very pretty sight indeed. 1t
requires much G art to execute the
dance, for at one false step the eggs
would be dashed together, the dance
spoiled and the dancer disgraced.
After dancing for time with the
eggs swinging around her head, she
takes them out of the moose one by
one, all the time keeping the wheel
places them in basket on her arm.
When the dance is finished the spec
tators are allowed to examine the
eggs to see that they are real.

Professor w. Spring, in discus sing
the question, ''Why is the sky blue?"
has approached pretty near solution
if he has not really reached it. After
promising that excepting nitro
gen, the principal constituents of
the a1r-oxygen, watery vapor, or
one, etc.-are blue when subjected to
strong pressure, he points out that
the course taken by the SUMS direct
rays is nevertheless, too short to al
low of their acquiring so intense
hue as that which we actually per-
ceive. Assuming, therefore, that the
prevailing illumination of the
heavens is produced by polarized and
not by direct light, he offers the fol-
lowing explanations: The solar rays
after striking the earth's surface are
reflected from the latter in every
direction. Passing upward they en-
counter atmospheric layers of gradu-
ally decreasing densities, by which
they are more and more diverted
from their normal pathway. The
highest of these layers they will
strike at so wide an angle as to be
unable to penetrate them. This must
give rise to the well-known phenom-
enon of total reflection and the rays
return to our level after having
taken a much longer journey than if
they were direct. In this way they
reach us from far off regions by
kind of celestial mirage, conveying
the color (Which as said above, is
blue) of the denser layers traversed.

Why is it that woman's tears lie so
perilously near the surface, and why
will she call down upon herself the
ridicule and sometimes even the ter
ror of man by giving way to lachry-
NOSE outbursts? Douglas Jerold says,
cynically: "What women would do if
they could not cry, nobody knows.
What poor, defenceless creatures they
would bel"
When a woman weeps because she
her tears are sacred even to a SOOTHING
man. But when a woman cries in
self defence because she is wOrsted
in an argument, or because she is an
CRY, she lowers her dignity and re-
sorts to babyish measures. 1t is no
wonder then that her brother man
smiles scornfully, and retires from the
contest resolving never again to ar
que with woman. When a boy he
was taught that in fighting he was to
"choose a fellow his own size" He
feels that he has not done this, and
despises himself accordingly, while at
the same time he cherishes a grudge
against the woman who, after enter
ing into a discussion with alacrity,
withdraws in tears. He feels that she
is ungenerous in thus challenging him
to appear in the light of brutal bully.
The New Woman must learn to con-
troll her fearful tendencies.

worries a physician. Consumptives would
never die if they could regain their usual
weight. In fact there would be no cOnsump-
ton if there was wasting of the system.
The cause of this loss of flesh is a failure to
properly digest the food eaten. Nine-tenths
of all our diseases date back to some derange-
ment of the stomach. The Shaker Digestive
Cordial will stop this wasting of the body. 1t
acts by causing the food eat to be digest
ed SO to do good, for undigested food does
more harm than good. The Cordial contains
food already digested and digester of foods
