Tie Cotton Planters Journal Of
New Orleans says that "only by or
ganized effort can the cotton planters
hope to escape the evil efforts OF
"bear" attacks. The traffic in
cultures nullfies the law of supply
and demand by creating an artificial
supply. Any man with 500 to pu:
up as margin has the privilege OF SELL
ing 100 bales Of cotton, which he
does not OWN and never expects to
deliver. The system is rninons to
the cotton planters, and they should
unite in demanding legislation to
wipe il out.

A large number OF cotton growers
from all over the South lately met in
Memphis. 1t is good thing to come
together this way and discuss the
farm, but they could meet every
week and pass resolutions in regard
to a reduction in the acreage in cot
ton, which wouldn't amount to hill
of beans.

THOSE WHO WRITE.

Gertrude Atherton is at Rouen, where
she will spend the winter. She is now en-
gagged on a novel dealing with iRterna-
tional marriages and is TO have large
royalty besides the large sum in advance
she has already received.
DIR. Edward Everett Hale says that
600 words Of any language are all that
are necessary for communication. Eu-
ropean couriers do not possess more
knowledge than this and while it repre-
sents the mirimum Of human intelli-
gence ii is sufficient for the transference
of thought.
Michel Angelo has left a private cor
lished. 1t is reported that GOO docu-
ments have been arranged in chrome
logical order and added to the letters
written by Michel Angelo to popes,
princes. artists and men OF letters. 1t
will be interesting to see whether these
letters throw any new light on the re-
lations between Michel Angelo and
Raphael Sanzio.
William d. Howelis has Just returned

soon begin another, the notes for which
he collected during his trip. The scenes

THE EFFECT or FRIGHT.


Thompson cites the case of work
man at York, who. having fallen from
high building that he was repairing,
succeeded in holding on to the gutter
with one band. He was rescued, but not
until his hair had turned white.
While the hair of people verging to-
ward middle age turns gray slowly and
progressively, the whitening Of single
hair usually occurs in one night. This
gives some ground for belief when
stories are told Of people whose hair
has become white in one night through
fright.
A Dutch physician, Junius, tells of a
nobleman Of high rank who, being con-
deInned to be beheaded, grew gray in
one night. The same thing happened
to Seigneur de st. Waller, father of Di-
ana OF Poitiers, while Guarini, professor
of Greek at Verona. grew gray all al
once on learning of the loss at sea of a
chest of manuscripts that was coming
from Constantinople.
Bichat saw one of his friends grow
quite white in the space Of single
night, after having experienced VIC
lent emotion. The unfortunate queen
Marie Antoinette, grew almost entirely
gray during the night preceding her
execution. Moleschott relates that
Louise Sforza grew entirely white in
the night following his defeat and cap
ture, after his campaign against Louis
XII

The commission will also have the
substantial aid of the State University.
the State horticultural board and its
force of inspectors, the horticultural
societies and the mining exchange.
1t is believed that the legislature OF
1899 ghould, and II the business senti-
ment OF the state is at its back, that it
win, reimburse the subscribers TO this
fund TO the amount above mentioned
To this end the commission, by its
agents throughout the state, will at an
early date solicit subscriptions.
Certificates signed by tie officers, will
be given for the same. the total issue of
such certificates not TO exceed the above
mentioned $4,000.
In the event of the legislature making
appropriations to reimburse the sub
scribers, these certificates properly en-
dorsed will be full evidence OF such
subscriptions, and will be paid on pre-
sentation, as soon &c the funds are at
the disposal of the commission.
The commission will publish on the
first OF each month statement Of re-
ceipts, aud on the 3lst Of December,
1898, "a full detailed statement Of receipts
and disbursement.
The entire question depends on the
extent OF the sentiment Of approval that
the state press reflects In the next
thirty days.

FACTS ABOUT MILK.

The same amount OF nutrition is con-
tanned in quart Of milk, three-quarters
Of a pound Of fat beef or five ounces Of
wheat -four. Milk is a perfect type OF
food, but only for the young. 1t fails to
furnish the necessary amount OF heat
and force for adults.
There is 81 per cent. OF water and 10
per cent. OF solids in milk. The sugar
in the solids Is in greater proportion
than in any other solid. The reason
cream rises more quickly from Jersey
and Guernsey milk IN that the fat glob-
ules in the milk are larger and can rise
TO the top more readily.
The United States is the leading dairy
country in the world. There are about
1900 900 cows scattered over our dairy
farms and quite time ago the value Of
our dairy products was estimated to be
over S400,000,000 and the value OF the
cows nearly as much. Although this is
the leading dairy country II does not
lead in the per capita consumption of
dairy products and much Of them are
exported.
The reason that milk sours SO readily
in summer time Is because it cools very
slowly and does not become cooler than
the air. The bacteria which have got
into the milk will multiply very fast
and cause The milk TO sour rapidly. II
milk is cooled TO low temperature as
soon as drawn, the bacterial growth
will be checked at once and viii not be-
gin with much rapidity until the milk
has become warm once more.
