Spinners Prefer Rounlap Bales.
THE DEMAND IN NEW ENGLAND AND
ABROAD LARGELY IN EXCESS OF
LAST YEARS.

The spinners of New England, hav-
ing learned by experience of the ahvan-
tages conferred by its use, are heavy
buyers of the American Compress
Compnny's Roundlap vailed cot
ton. One Massachusetts mill alone
bought $4,000 Roundlap bales the lat
ter part Of September, and purposes
hereafter using no cotton packed by
any other method if it can get enough
Rounlap bales to supply .its spin
dies Another Massachusetts mill
has bought 5000 Roundlap bales this
season. and twenty-five other New
England mills have ordered smaller
lots.
The European demand for the Ameri-
can Cotton Company's bales is largely in
excess Of last seasons. Early in Octo-
Dor 5000 Roundlad bales for Liverpool
were shipped from Galveston in one
steamer. Shipments go forward rsgu-
larly to Genoa, Hayre, Bremen and
Barcelona.

A novel business has been opened in
New York City. The purpose of the
enterprise is to make every man his own
soda water manufacturer. To this end
little steele capsules. called "spa,klets,"
are manufactured by the company.
Each "sparklet" is filled with liquid
carbonic acid gas enough to charge a
bottle Of soda water. The capsules are
about as large as w%alnuts, "blong and
smooth, and will sell at Is cents a dozen.
The evaporation of the liquid carbon
ic acid gas cools. as well as aerates, the
water or other liquid in IL bottle. A
similar enterprise has been successful
ia England. The advantages claimed
for the "sPa,kIets" are cleanliness,
portability and cheapness. The COM
pany is capitalized at $15, 900, 900.

Pension reform has become a Repub-
lican as we'll as a Democratic measure.
1t has been taken out Of party politics
by a Republican commissioner engaging
in it. And it is needed at present as
much as ever. The Spanish war and
the Philippine war have opened a new
field for pension attorneys. Nobody
wants ~now-nobody has ever wanted
to shut out from the bounty of the gov
eminent any deserving %pensioner, but
there is a clear call for the shutting out
of unjust and fraudulent claims, such
as have been admitted in connection
with the civil war.-Boston Herald.

|. The great trouble in the cotton States
is the lack of scientific agriculture. The
farmer usually has no business training
at all he rarely keeps books; he works
too much by fits and starts and he sell
dom diversifies his crops. Those who do
so and who make "cvery edge cut that
can" as the merchant, the manufactu-
rer and the laborer in the city do, can
make money. There are too few far
mers, indeed, who stick to their bust
ness as closely as the ordinary city man
and his employees, who quit work
oHFfsRDy day, and whose holidays are
confineh to a week or two in midsum-

A School for BIushing.


One of the late novelties of Paris, that
city of novelties, Is a school where blushing
is taught If there is any place where blush
ing has become lost art one would GER
tainly think it was Paris, but the Parisians
on the other hand, declare that ii is a result
of Anglomania and the influence of the
American girl. The young woman who
plays golf or rides a bicycle in "rationals''
in the freeSt camaradeTie with her male
friends is likely to acquire a self-poise
which will make the flush of embarrass-
where women are bicycling on the boulevard
with their bare knees exposed has felt the
necessity of reaction The classic grace
and simplicity of the early years of the
century, with their accompanying down.
cast eyes and simpers, are now in vogue
again, and the maidens who have forgotten
how to blush are going to school to learn
thu primitive art. They say it is easy
funess, but to call up mantling color is as
difficult as pulling eye teeth.
How the crimsoning flow of red blood to
the pallid cheek is accomplished in these
fin de steele schools of department it is
hard to imagine, unless it is that they have
taken a page out of Du Maurier's joke book
and emulate the society girl who surprised
her friend by always blushing at the right
time. How can yau manage it?' asked
the other girl envfously. 'Oh, it is very
easy the expert bluSher replied. 81 SIM
