Are Rented by the Fashionabies for

Now that 1t has become the habit OF
New-Yorkers to remain out OF the city
for longer periods than they formerly
did. the furnished house has become q
much more important element In the
real estate business. This same ten
dency has been noted In London, where
It is no longer considered necessary 10
the maintenance of ones position that
house which is to be occupied for only
a few months should be kept through
out the entire year. 1t is said that
Americans who go there for the season
are now in the habit Of taking house
when possible rather than living In a
hotel at a greater expense and with
less certainty of comfort. The con-
venience of the furnished house may
be very great one to the tenant, but
Ii is highly profitable form of enter
prise to the landlords, who, in addition
to the advance in price paid for the use
Of furniture, are in the habit OF receiv-
Ing for few months the same price
that would be paid for whole year.
The prices demanded for furnished
houses are very high, and they are dan
gerous speculations only when they are
not taken by the beginning of every
winter season, which is commonly sup
posed to be from about the middle OF
November to the 1st of December.
After this later date the rent asked for
the furnished house declines steadily
and the profits of the landlord are di-
minished. This loss is less in the case
of those who are In the habit Of occu-
pying the house until 1t is rented, but
as a general rule the percentage of loss
Is likely to be considerable when the
house Is not rented promptly. The de-
mand for such house has been so great
in recent years that the number avail
able has increased in spite Of the risks

WHEN WOMAN LOVES BEST.

n womanhood. and falls In love
before she makes her teens" When
the girl in her teens falls In love, how
ever well developed her physical
charms may be, her powers OF loving
are vet immature. A young girl Is
fascinated by man and she allows her
sentiment to dominate her good sense.
She mistakes her soul of being loved
for the love OF lover, After the
honeymoon Is over, and the realities OF
life begin to engage the attention or
both parties, the wife sees the man as

would be a marriage based on strong

Tnke What Yon Can Gee.

One of the most helpful qualities foe
the winning of success is that ability
which enables one to take philosophic-

get what one wants That is, to be
contented with second best II the best
is unattainable.
1t is certainly hard to be sufficiently
philosophic to carry this principle into
everyday practice, although to desire
the unattainable is worse than fool

ROUNDLAP COTTON BALES.
To Satisfy the Demand The Entire Crop Will Eventually be
 So Baled.
So Baled.

For once the cotton planter has an ally among the great corpora tions. For years the cotton tie ring, the bagging combine and the com press people have all lived off the cotton grower. There was no way to fight them and so they grew rich on their enormous profits, which the farmers had to pay. Now the American Cotton Company with its Roundlap bale is in the field and it4s so revolutionizing the cotton hand
 ling business that many of the old expenses are necessarily wiped out. The farmers must inevitably get a large share of this saving, but the old compress people and the bagging and tie trust are raising great commotion against the Ameri- can Cotton Company as though they had always been the friends of the farmer. Unfortunately for them they never played the friendly act be- fore and now the farmers doubt the sincerity of their repentance.
 The Roundlap ,eale is the trade mark name given by the American Cotton Company to it's round bale to distinguish it a.om all other bales! The cotton mills of New England and of Europe are eager buyers 0: this bale because as compared with all other bales it has many adYan- tages covered by broad patents, which greatly lessen the cost of man ufacture to the mill. This Roundlap eliminates two or three processes in manufacturing and as the cottoL mills of the world are willing to pay more for this cotton than any other must in time be put up in this Koundlap form. Mir. Wm. c. Lowering, one of the most distinguished cotton mill men of New England, says
 II do not hesitate to say that the time is coming when the cotton manufacturers all over the world will insist that their cotton shall be delivered to them in the form of a Rounlap bale.'

CITY COTTON WElGHERs CHARGE 15C PER BALE IN
 VIOLATION OF LAW.
IMPOSITION ON FARMERS.
Act No. T43 of Last Legislature Fixes Price at Weighing at
 Five Cents Per Bale

Upon com plaint of, some of the farmers of Jefferson county who have tbeir cotton weighed by the city weighers, we publish the act passed by .he last Legislature re garding same, and entitled an act for the marking and weighing of cotton, approved March 29, 1893.
 The act is as follows:
 "Be it enacted by the General As
 sem5ly of the State of Arkansas:
 'Section l. That hereafter it. shall be unlawful for any person or persons weighing cotton for or by the authority of any city of the first or second class or incorporated towns, to charge more than five (5) cents per bale during the months of October, November, December and January, ard ten (10) cents for and during the remaining months of each year for weighing and marking cotton.
 Sec. 2. That any person vioating the provisions of Section l of this act shall be deemed guilty of a mis. demeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined ID any sum not less than ten (10) dollars nor more than twenty-five t25) dollars.
 We understand that the city welghers ot Pine Bluff are not com plying with the law, lnasmuch as they continue to charge l5 cents per bale for weighing.
 QWe further understand that there lis city ordinance allowing them to do this to the detrlment oi the farmer, as well as a non-compll- ance with the act passed by the leg islature. If there is a city ordl- nance allowing such, the first sec tion of the act passed by the legis- lature makes said ordinance unlaw- ful (aad subject to a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $25) flor any person or persons weighing cotton for or by the authority of any city of the first and second class to charge more than 5 cents per bale during October, November, De- cember and January, and 10 cents per bale the remaining part of each year.
