After four years of experimenting,
w. W. Wentworth, OF Karney, Texas.
reports success in his effort to intro.
duce the culture of Egyptian cotton in
this country, and his notable triumph
is affirmed by the Cotton Growers
Journal, of Waco 1t appears, further,
that Mr.. Wentworth's crop was not q
sporadic one, nor the product of ex-
cessive and improbable coddling. He
has grown the Egyptian cotton by the
acre, has gathered 1900 pounds from
six acres, and has marketed it in Bos-
ton at fourteen cents a pound, or about
three times the price prevailing for
ordinary cotton. The Egyptian cot
ton can be grown in Texas, Mr.. Went
worth asserts, on ordinary cotton
land, from the Gulf to Red River,
and from the Sabine to the Rio
Grande,' will produce as much per
acre as the ordinary cotton, and is
even superior to the cotton grown in
Egypt. Papers in other Southern
States are quick to suggest that what
can be grown in Texas can be pro-
duced elsewhere in the South, and it
is probable that extensive experiments
with the imported seed will soon be
undertaken throughout the cotton
growing section.

Mr.. G. R. Watts, the famous British
artist, has introduced into London a
new idea in the monument line which
might we'll be adopted in some of our
cities. He is now erecting in what is
known as Postman's park at Alder
gate, cloister or pavilion of artistic
design and imperishabe materials, in
which will be placed, from time TO
time, tablets commemorating deeds of
heroism of people in the humber walks
of life. Postman's park is little
breathing spot III the crowded section
OF the city, much freQuented by work
ing folks, 50 that the examples will
have an influence upon tn. moral cour-
age of the lower classes. The London
County Council and the Park Board
have made appropriations of money,
and the remainder of the cost, which
is $50, 900, will be met by private con-
tributors. Ma. Watts is now search
ing the newspaper files to learn of
brave deeds recorded in recent years.
A typical case is that of Alice Ayres,
a nursery maid who rescued three
children from a burning house at the
sacrifice of her own life.

Owing to the recent trouble between

Guilty of obtaining servants Nearly
every servant who has any aggressive
ness at all tries to get employment in
a city or emlgrates to America. Those
who, for one reason or another, re-
main, ask wages which few years
ago would have been regarded by the
farmers as preposterous. The demand
for higher wages is general, and may
be due to the general prosperity, but
the migration to the cities may have
other causes. A girl working in a
factory or as seamstress in II city

The value of sanitation in cities and
centres of population is evidenced by
the fact that 5000 people died from
typhoid fever in thirty-five American
and Canadian cities in 1896, while 90
900 suffered long and trying illness.
This is a good showing, but there is
no reason why, with the employment
of more sanitary methods to combat
disease than are now used, the sick
ness and deaths cannot be reduced. 1t
is appalling to read of the conditions
of the cities of even a century ago, and
the contrast to modern cities, where
scientific methods of combating dis
ease are in vogue, is certainly refresh
ing. Sanitation is a municipal savior.

amounting almost to accusations, are
the most sensational features this re-
