SOME THING TO THINK ABOUT.

In his late annual cotton review
Mr.. Hester of the New Orleans cotton
exchange calls attention to the fact
that the actual money value of the
crop the past season, which was a
record breaker so far as the number of
bales is concerned, was slightly under
tha6 of the 1S93-94 crop, which was g.
725 ,O23 bales less than the crop of 1898
90. In other words, the farmers re-
ceived 1922, 773 900 tor II ,274, $40 bales
of cotton for the season of 1898 49,,
against $3.50, lis, COO for 7,549,817 bales
made and sold in l893-94.
Commenting on this remarkable
comparison of volume and value, which
merits the consideration of every
southern farmer who is engaged in
raising cotton, the Buena Vista Pa
triot says:
"This comparison ought to convince
every farmer that it is serious mis-
take for the south to keep on, making
more and more cotton every year
when 1T is practically certain that the
more they make the less they will get
for it. TO put it another way, if the
farmers had only made eight million
balss the past season it would have
brought them in more money than the
actual crop of eleven and a quarter
millions"

FlOwery Weather Predictions Of the

In these days of practical newspaper

''On Saturday evening, at 11:17
o'clock the sun rode calmly and mildly

and transparent with the memory OF
the long summer days that have passed
over it, darting their rich beams to its
very depths. Even as we write, how

and in the distance the cold ghosts OF

An Unconventional Emnre...

The late Empress Elizabeth of Aus
tria did many things which appeal to
the unconventionality of American
women more than they did to the
Journalists by whom she was surround
ed. At the first state dinner after her
marriage she Mortified the court ladies
by taking off her gloves. One of them
demonstrated because it was a devia-
ton from the rules. But the empress
promptly settled the objection by say
ing that the deviation should hence
forth be the rule. The court ladies had
another blow when the empress insist
ed on wearing pair of boots month
or more. The rules had required an
empress to wear her shoes only once.
'Just think" feelingly exclaimed an
American girl. ''of being always in a
state of breaking in new pair of
shoes! No wonder the poor lady re-
belled.''-N. Y. Sun.

YANKEE TRICKS IN ALBANY.
An Instance Where Peddler's
shrewdness Proved Superior
to Legal Acumen.

Thousands of them passed through
Albany, but large number remained
For many ears there was feeling of
bitterness between them and the
Dutch burghers, the latter having no
sort of use for the nervous, restless ac-
tivity of the Yankee, who no sooner got
comfortably settled than he began to
agltate improvements and changes
terms which were almost reasonable
to Dutch ears. .tN d.. -
An anecdote, illustrating the pro-
verbal shrewdness of the New England
Yankee and the confding nature of
some of our Dutch ancestors, was re-
lated many years ago by an old Alban-
ian and is worth repeating. A Yankee
peddler was arrested for travelling on
Sunday, contrary to law, and was taken
before a Dutch justice. The peddler
pleaded the urgency of his business.
At first the Dutchman was memorable,
but at length, on the payment to him of
small sum of money as bride, he
agreed to furnish the Yankee with a
written permit to travel on. The JUS
tice requested the peddler to write the
pass He wrote a draft on Messrs.
J. & A. Kane (Albany's foremost mer-
chants in those days., for fifty dollars,
to be paid in goods, which the unsus-
pecting Dutchman signed. The draft
was presented and duly honored, and
the Yankee went on his way rejoicing.
few days afterward the Dutchman
was called upon to pay the amount of
the draft. The whole thing was a mys-
terry to the magistrate, and it was
long time before he could comprehend
it. All at once light broke in upon him,
and the victim explained vehemently,
in bad English: "Eh, yah! I under
stand it now. fish mine writin', and
dat ish de tam Yankee pass" He paid
the money and resigned his office, feel
ing that it was safer to deal in corn and
butter with his honest neighbors than
in law with Yankee travellers. ALBANY

A PAINT MANS STORY.
Enough to String Most
Anybody.

This drummer travels for paint house
and as it was up to him he told the fol-
lowing:
II am organizing new stock company.
and am going to pass up the travelling
business and go to clipping coupons for q
think it was the trip before last, when I
ran across the most remarkable thing in
the paint line that have ever seen. was
riding through the most forlorn bit of
country that it has ever been my misfor
tune to be cast into. came to little
house. 1t was very peculiar affair, and [
noticed that although it was adorned with
a coat of red paint, the paint seemed to
have been nailed on. Inside found little
man working with a mortar and pestle. I
asked him about the house and most par
ticularly about the paint. He then told me
that ne was an inventor; that ten years
before he had invented what he called as.
bestos paint--a paint that would not burn.
he built house and laid on thick coat
OF his newly-found preparation. Shortly
afterward the interior of the house caught
fire and burned up entirely, leaving the
paint standing. After he had cleared away
the debris, he spread a big canvas where
the shingled roof had been and lived com.
three years. He then accumulated enough
money to build up the house inside the
paint again. He did so and nailed the paint
on to secure the interior of the house from
falling down. I have lived in it as you
see It, ever, since he said How would
you like to buy some slices of stock in my
invention?

RAPID EATING.
The One Thing That Is Likely to Sc.
cure u Russian Girl Speedy
Marriage.

| OF all the strange customs OF foreign
nations those that strike us to be most
peculiar are the marriage customs of
! the Russian peasants. 1t is the aim of
every young peasant to acquire for
himself wife that will be suitable
aid both in the field and in the kitchen,
and he leaves the choice to his parents.
The beauty of the young lady ana her
| taste of dress and furniture is little
considered, but instead the dispatch
with which she can perform her daily
duties. And in the following peculiar
way her ability in that line is obtained:
The parents of the young man decide
that certain young lady would make
suitable mate for him. They say
nothing about the matter to anyone,
but on some evening they will drop
around unexpectedly to the prospective
brides home and will stay for supper.
During the meal they will keep close
watch on the young lady. If she eats
fast she will perform her work speedi-
~; If she goes neatly and clearly about
her plate she will perform her work
neatly and clearly; if she does not talk
much she will work, and not talk, and
prove faithful and obedient wife to
her husband; if she prefers rye bread
to white she will be satisfied with her
| lot; if she does not gaze and stare at the
visitors she will be wife that will not
continually pry into her husbands bust
ness, andkif he3iAnmediately proceeds
to clean up the dishes after the meal
she will bring prosperity to her hus-
band and will be economical with his
money.
Thus the fate of the young couple is
decided. Should she prove satisfactory
to the young mans parents, by the
aforementioned actions, the parents
stay after supper and close the bar
gain with the young lady's parents over
a bottle of good vodka.
A most peculiar thing about the mar
rage ceremony is the fact that when
the couple enter the church both groom
and bride make dash for the platform,
on which is the pulpit. 1t is believed
that the one whose foot touches the
platform first will live the longer, and
that the children will take after that
one in size, health and beauty.
The festivities last three days, during
which all friends and relatives celebrate
holiday. The bride is adorned in
bandana of the brightest hue and with
ribbons of all colors and shades. The
groom has new fur hat and a skin
overcoat tied with belt of brightest
red. The marriages generally take
place in the fall, after the harvest has
been gathered. ENQUIRER.

AMERICA "GETS THERE. {"
One of the Leading London Newspa-
pers Admits Defeat of Brit
iAh Trade.

American hustle is at last acknowl-
edged to beat British slowness, when
even the slowest of London newspapers,
the Times, is found admitting our COM
mercial alertness in these words:
"A good deal of comment has been
caused by the news that the contract
for the bridge which is to carry the new
Soudan railway over the River Atbara
has been given to an American firm, and
it seems to have been assumed in some
quarters that transatlantic ironmas-
ter had been preferred to a British
manufacturers, and that the Egyptian
government had gone out of it's way to
ignore this country. But the facts are
exactly the reverse. The English agent
for the Egyptian government, who had
the ordering of the Atbara bridge, gave
the first chance to British traders, and
would doubtless have given them the
sole chance but for the imperative i'm
portance of speedy delivery. Of the
British ironmasters approached not one
could guarantee delivery in the time at
which delivery was required.
Zone English firm ran the Americans
close as to time, but, speed being of par
amount Importance and as the Ameri-
cans could insure it in the greatest
measure, there was no choice but to 60
to them for the work. In contrast to
the promptitude with which they have
shipped the component parts of the
bridge may be placed the fact that the
agents of the Egyptian government had
to wait four months for one small
bridge of 81 tons ordered in England.
Probably the recent engineering dis
pute was responsible for this. 1t will
be found that the locomotives for the
Soudan railway, or, at all events, the
first batch delivered, will come from
America. The reason in this case is
precisely the same. The desire is to get
delivery with all possible dispatch, and
as America is in a position to guarantee
greater speed than England the govern
ment here has had no choice but to go
to the states for at least that portion of
the order which could not wait. Chi

that she did take that fancy.

dent, observe--she met another Eng
lishman who knew Honorable Tom.
Then, in conversation, it came out that
Honorable Toms brother had sent him
to Florida on purpose to separate him
from Honorable Mrs. Tom, who was
very undesirable person.
SIN fact, Honorable Tom was the black
sheep of the family. In many ways he
was not bad fellow-never stole, or
anything of that kind-but he had a
very light idea of his obligations in the
way of marriage, evidently.

mice was really quite beyond the Or
binary. On every other subject she
was as sound as bell. You couldn't
brighten her with a gun. She could
shoot pretty well and had actually killed
several deer out in the woods. About
snakes she felt pretty much the same
horror that most people feel who have

She was not by any means nervous
or fainting woman. But, somehow
she could not stand mice: l have even
seen her jump away from little wooden

a mouse on it, with beads for eyes-and
she knew perfectly well that it was not
