EGYPTIAN COTTON AHEAD.
United States Planters Must Not
Be Dlstanced In THIS Product.


WASHINGTON, Dec. IS.-United
States Consul General Pomfield at
Cairo, Egypt, has made a report
to the state department which
will, from its Importance, be made
the subject OF a special publication
calling attention to its rapid
growth Of Egypt as competitor
Of the United States for the cotton
market of the world. He says
that his former representations APP
pearing to have failed to Sc
cure the attention which the
subject demands he is induced
to once more strongly urge United
States cetton producers to make
efforts to meet this competition.
At present Egyptian cotton is sold
at Alexandria for two cents per
pound more than the price of
American cotton and owing to
the superiority of the Egyptian
product it is being purchased in
quantities for export to the
United States. The sales which
ten years ago amounted to but 1916
bales have increased until from
the best estimates it is believed
that during the year beginning
September 1, 1896, no less than
so, 600 bales will be shipped to the
United States, and as these Egyp-
'tian bales are 80 per cent larger
than the American, the exports to
this country will really amount to
70, 900 bales according to our stand
ard. Mr.. Pomfield urges that
efforts be made by our planters to
grow Egyptian long staple cotton
in this country, holding that there
must certainly be some portion
adapted to its growth, probably
the Mississippi valley or the
Brazos river section in Texas.

MACKEREL BRINE.

How 1t Cured an Indiana Justice of
Rheumatism.
Once upon a time, says the Peru
(Lnd.) Chronicle, there lived at Hun
tington German potentate of the
Eame of Louis Hitzfeld, who from time
immemorial was justice of the peace.
The squire grew into influence, wealth,
govt, corpulency and sciatica stimuli
taneously. The older he became the
Coulter, more dogmatie and rheumatic,
until at length his sutferings were in
tolerable and relief was imperative to
postpone the inevitable foreclosure on
the tenure of his existence. He was
advised to go to Mount Clemens, and
went and took a course of treatment
and returned greatly relieved.
He had not only bathed in the pools,
but tasted the waters. In the course of
time the affection returned in all the
various forms and degrees of torture,
and he resolved, having, as he believed,
fully analysed the water and become
acquainted with its composite qualities,
to prepare bathing solution for him
self. He purchased a number of half
barrels of mackerel, took the fish out
for family consumption and reserved
the salt brine for bathing his rheumatic
limbs. His experience, after testing
both Mount Clemens brine and the
mackerel solution, was that the latter
was equally effective as the former, and
he never went to Mount Clemens again

A Steamboat on Wheels.

Sweden can boast of steamboat on

regular trips overland from one lake to
another near by. To leave the lake it
approaches the shore with full head of

connecting road to the top of the emil

lake, and then its screw propelIeIs mer-

company has no complaint against
the water works or the fire depart

has words OF praise for both. Seven
streams were playing on the fire and
there was enough water to extlnguish
