"Just think of it a minute said
Hugh J. Inman a few days ago. "Ihe
cotton crop is worth $500, 100000 as
it stands whitening in the fields. As
certain as the sun rises the South
brings into the country that large
sum Of money every year. For thirty
years, during which time the coun-
try has been rocked by panic, when
wheat and corn have at times been
short, when the prices did not war
rant the transportation Of the food
crop to the seaboard. there has never
been a failure on he part OF the
South to addils assured contribution
to the resources of the nation. JUS
think Of the colossal sum OF money
which the South has brought into
the country since the crop Of 1856
was marketed-$3O0.0 00, 10000 I
year, or SO 900. 00U. 0U0l Overpow
ering as this snm is, it is not 10 h
re ipforced By the profit which comes
from manufacturing. The news
papers Of the South should hamme
the value of the southern cotton croI
into the public mind until it &C
knowledges that the cotton mill, am
not the grain field, is the test OF th
country's solidity.

of the effects of music on the heart and
respiration. M. Patrizi, an Italian
psychologist, had patient with a

the brain. He was thus enabled to OBJ
serve the actual effect of music on the
cerebral circulation. Music occasioned

tended to retard respiration. When
melodies were tried it was found that

action of the heart. The lively tunes
produced the greatest acceleration. The
subject also sometimes unconsciously
endeavC<ed to synchronize his respira.
lions with those of the singer. In raj
lentando and diminuendo passages the
respiration was retarded. Where the
sound was wholly uncomplicated by
emotional ideas, as in single notes OF
chords, the hearts action was acceler'
ated, but not in SO marked a degree as
when a melody either grave or gay was
played. During operate pieces or those

ration attained it's maximum. The
subject had strongly marked capillary
pulse. The influence of music on the
capillary circulation was tested by 8
plethysmograph attached to the right
hand. The capillary tracing usually
showed diminution Of pulsation. This
diminution was occasioned by tbs
sound of single notes, chords or dis.
cords. In sad melodies, especially
minor ones, there was almost no dl.

Daniel Lamont is an excellent example
of what the clever private secretary
