A year or so ago Major Rose, the Texas commissioner of agriculture se- cured some cottonseed from Peru. which he distributed among the cotton plant CTS of southern Texas. in Peru this cotton does not have to be planted more than once every five or six years, the stalk standing through the winter and coming out green in the spring, like sugar-cane. It was thought probable that the cotton would grow equally as well in southern Texas, but thorough experiment proves it to be & total fail- ure. Among others who received seed from Major Rose was l.. Allen, of San Antonio. MT. Allen planted the seed on his farm, just south of that city. where the cotton came up, looked well and prospered finely during last years drouth, when ordinary Texas cotton was almost burned up. The winter proved too severe for it, however. and in letter to Major Rose, MT, Allen says he dug up some of the roots and in each instance found them dead and perfectly devoid of life.

Cooking by electricity may be con- venient, but it is not economical Pro- lessor F. P. Jackson, at the recent meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, stated that he had made comparative tests of the cost of cooking and ironing for a family of six for several weeks. Ironing by coal cost flfty-four per cent. of that by elec- tricity, and coal in the range only nine teen per cent.

 but they cannot ride ostriches I saw this pretty thoroughly tried on one oc- casion. A cowboy who had vanquished every pony he ever undertook to break in was induced to try an ostrich. After an hours hard work he succeeded in mounting the bird, which at first tried to shake him off, then to get away by running, but these tactics, of course,

A curious drawing by Thackeray. made some thirty-fve years since, was sold the other day in London. It was executed for Lady Knighton. It ap- pears that the great novelist owed her shilling for some trifling bet, and he paid her with the drawing. The pie ture consists of portraits of Queen vic- toria, Prince Albert and the rest of the royal family taking walk at Windsor. All the heads are made of old red post age stamps, carefully cut out and stuck on the paper. The variety of portrait ure Is cleverly achieved by small dash es and dots most eleverly introduced on each stamp, and description of the procession is added in the artists minute and clear writing. The unique little picture realized over thirty pounds.

At Terre Haute, Indiana, there is Methodist church on Maple avenue, of which the Rev. Frank Gee is pastor, where it has been the practice for the minister to announce on each Sunday the midweek run of the church bicycle club. Deacon James A. Dixon, who ob- jects to this practice and had protested in vain, one Sunday sent up a request that the parson read a notice of the meeting of a card club to be held on a coming weekday evening. The parson refused to read it, and the deacon for sock the church. The matter is not yet settled.

The work of improving the White House is now under way and the red pine flooring of the business part of the mansion is being torn up. Over this floor. which has generally been carpet ed, office seekers, statesmen, presidents and other people of distinction have walked since 1914, the flooring being put in when the White House was rebuilt after it's destruction by the British. It Is interesting to learn that the nails that fastened this floor to the joists are hand made and were manufactured in 17s3.

Discussing the recent arrests Of
farmers and property owners charged
with stealing logs, the Cambridge
Press editorially says: ''That the farm
ers have well founded grievances
against the log owners we have no
doubt. We cannot of course counsel
any violation of law but we feel very
confident that if our property b d been
damaged through the negligence of the
log owners, as these farmers claim
theirs has suffered, we should GER
tainly destroy or hold the offending
logs until proper restitution had been
made for the mischief done or else dis
cover some strong reason for acting
otherwise. Stealing the logs out of
the river is different matter and
should be promptly punished to the full
extent of the law -

Elmer Hatch is a devoted admirer Of
the Brown Leghorn hens and has be-
come quite a hen fancier. He has
kept an account with his hens for a
year and after deducting his losses
from hawks and other sources finds
that each hen has earned him $3.50.
He never keeps anything around him
that doesn' t pay, therefore he sold his
half bloods and scrubs and pinned his
faith to thorough -breds. In answer to
the objection that the breed is too
small to be profitable he says he has
no trouble in raising fowls which dress
five or six pounds. His charge this
year will be SO cents per setting of Is
egg.

Will Be No Summer Cruises.

New York, May 26.-From present
appearances there will be no summer
cruises of the ships attached to the
Atlantic squadron this season. Since
Admiral Sicard took command of the
station the ships of the fleet have been
assigned to other duty and there are
but two vessels Immediately under his
command. Just before Commodore
Bunce was detached from command Of
the squadron he commanded the largest
fleet of American war vessels that has
been assembled in these waters.
Most of the ships of the squadron
have been put on reserve list and an
chored in the basin at the League
island navy yard. at Philadelphia.
An officer says that the fleet that will
be assembled for summer work will
consist of battleships and it will be
strengthened by the addition Of the
battleship Iowa, which will soon be
put into commission at the League
island navy yard. The vessel will be
commanded by Captain William Samp-
son, who has been detached from duty
as chief of the ordnance bureau and
ordered to duty on the battleship.
This will be the first time since the
government began to build modern
warships that a fleet composed entirely
of battleships mas been organized for
the purpose of manouvres.
