MEXICAN COTTON ROLL wEEvIL.
The Foe That Threatens the Extinc-
ton of Cotton Culture.

An inquirer, who has been reading a late
issue of the American Agriculturist where
in this insect is pictured and described,
asks if it is probable that it will put in
an appearance east of the Mississippi river
this year or the next or when.
We have no doubt the cotton growers of
the southeast, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana
are all on the lookout for this greatly to be
dreaded foe to the cotton plant. We shall
certainly be informed promptly of its ap-
pearanCe in any locality this season. We
think it unlikely that il viii be found east
OF the great river this ear as it did not eX-
tend its limits greatly last year. If we are
informed correctly. Ii may be in the mind
Of Providence to convert the cotton plan
ters of the south into genuine farmers
and the autonomous grandlS may be the
means adopted as the most effective for
accomplishing the purpose.
Science possibly may md a means of
Warding off the danger that now seems to
threaten, but we are inclined to think the
insect will become widely distributed in
the next FIVE years. Well, the fact is, the
sooner our farmers start out to learn how
they can dispense with cotton and yet es-
abiish and maintain happy home with
out il the better it will be for them. If j.
Il. is, as we assume, he is a farmer and
with no reasonable hope of being anything
else, we could advise him TO anticipate
OF his farm policy and be prepared TO
promptly cut it of when the foe has come
100 close. If ever, it may be several years
Yet before, Attila like, he appears at the
gates of the Middle<GeOrgia cotton grower.
Woe unto the man who persists in Keep
ing cotton at the head, as the head Of his
farm policy What win he do when he is
called to cut that head OFF,

The recent assassination of the Shah
of Persia has revived many tales about
that eccentric monarch. An Italian pa
per reports that during his stay at Tu-
rim in 1873 two of his personal atten-
dants were caught in the act Of petty
theft. and, according to the laws of bis
country, he condemned both of them to
death. Since he had his hangman with
him, there would not have been any diff
hculty in carrying out his sentence OF
death, had he not invited Victor Eman-
uel, the King of Italy. to he present upon

the King Of Italy. and court officials

TO prevent the carrying out of the decapi-

out at this interference with what he
considered his privileges. lie declared
to the chamberlain sent TO him by the
King of Italy that according 10 Persian
law the two servants had fully deserved
the death penalty, and that his sentence
must be carried out. The courteous but
peremptory reply was that the two SER
wants must not be executed In Italy. At
last King Victor Emanuel found a way
out of the dilemma by begging the shah

drels to settle the difficulty Shah Nasr-
Ed-Din gladly gave way to this request.

Another story is told of his table man

reception by the Prince OF Wales. he
sat next to the host. and when asparagus
was served he was delighted with the
dish, which was entirely new to him He
saw others take the stalks In their hands,
and did alike, but when he came to the
hard part of the asparagus he threw il
behind him on the floor. The company

Of Wales, anxious not to lea his guest

Cubans Buying old whaIeboats.
From the New Bedford Ionrna1


Whaleboats have taken a sudden rise In
price on account Of the mysterious de-
mand for them along shore. Boats which
were thought good for nothing but kim

fact at present are unobtainable. These
old and about worn out craft which for
merly brought anywhere from 81 to IS, are
now bringing from SIS to $50

person turned up along shore Tuesday
inquiring about these craft and PURCHASE

corner IN whaleboats, and now there are
very few TO be had at any price He ia

gents. The boats that We're purchased

report has gone forth that these boats
were taken to the New York boat a. night
but such is not the case The Journal man
Witnessed the landing of some of these
boats in the afternoon at the propeller
dock. The mysterious purchaser of these
boats has been in Provincetown E,daar-

eastern and New England coast buying
whaleboats, yawl boats, and ana kind
of open boat which can be pressed into
the required service of the Cuban cause.
New boats are not wanted. AS these
crafts are only used once old ones can
be patched up and made sufficiently sea-
worthy to do the work intended.

THE NEW WOMAN PRAISED.
DIR. Carlos Martyr Loves Her, bloom
ers and All


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 10.-Dr. Carlos
Martyr created Il sensation by his ad :
dress on the New Woman" Dr. Mar
tyn among other things, said:
BY the new woman. I understand, not
a slangy edition of young America who
has stolen her brothers clothes and who
new feelings and aglow with new
thoughts, expectant with new hopes,
sober with new response bilities, broaden
ed with new expectations and healthy
with the new activities of this last de-
cade of the nineteenth century. This is
the real new woman-the old in a new
and enlarged environment.
For my part l hail even the bloomer.
There is common sense in it, and is
something never before found in woman's
dress. The Chinese women in the stree 3
of San Francisco are more sensibIy
dressed for outdoor Iocomotion than
thousands of women WHO are gowned as
fashion DEGREES.
Oldfashioned people looked with ter
ror upon this appearance of the new
wom.n. Let us possess our souls with
patience; it will be found that the
new woman is only the old one
with larger ideas. The home will sur
vive, sweetheartship will survive, mar
riBge will survive, motherhood will sur
vive. These are in her nature. No out
ward changes can reverse the feminine
function of the feminine disposition.
DIR. Martyr answered ella borateIy the
scriptural objection, and maintained that
ST. Paul himself was a good woman
suffragist,
