citcment of the day. There were seven
starters Wandering Jew sold faVorlte in
the pools and his hackers did not hihch
when Shade On landed the frst neat.
Only four horses remained in the race

nth heat the Jew nearly fell just as
he passed the wire and trailed far be

Beware OF Food Samples.

Quite recently in New York
two deaths occurred from poison
ing by the use of powers sent to
the victims by mail. In Leaven-
worth, Kans., the other day near
ly every doctor in town was called
to attend the children who had
gathered up, eaten, and been
made i'll by samples of an article
left at houses by canvassers for
advertising purposes.
Alum baking powders have
always been the favorite articles
for this sampling business. Yet
there is nothing more liable to
lead to danger than the practice OF
using the various samples of bak-
ing powder left at the door. They
are presented by irresponsible
parties, in appearance are not dls-
tinguisable from arsenic, and in
deed, in Indiana some time since
one package was found, after it
had caused the death of the house
wife, to have been mixed with
that poison.
1t is safer to refuse all samples
of food or medicine offered at the
door. Pure cream of tartar bak-
ing powders sell upon their merits,
and are never peddled or sampled.

THE ROUND-LAP BALE.
AN IRRESITABLE DEMAND FOR
COTTON PACKED In THE
NEW WAY.
Some Facts About the Methods OF the
American Cotton Company and Its
Campaigns Profit In the New
Method of Bailing.

The south is still conservative,
but it is no longer "slow." ltEls
sharing in the wonderful prosper
ity of the rest of the country. 1t
is passing through a revolution
that is giving new life and vigor to
every branch of the cotton indus
try, excepting those members
which have been hurtful, instead
of helpful, to its prosperity. 1t is
simplifying. strengthening and
using a new economy in the pack
ing and handling of the staple.
The roundlap method of bailing
cotton is growing rapidly in favor,
adding to the prosperity OF the
planter, whether he raises two
bales or two hundred, and giving
the gin owner an opportunity to
double the earning capacity of his
plant without increasing his in
vestment.
The opposition to the roundlap
bale on the part of the compress
owners and the middlemen, whose
business has been a burdensome
tax on the cotton planter, has not
prevented the steady introduction
of the machinery for making the
roundlap bale, and the satisfaction
of the farmer, the ginner and the
mill owner. The attacks of the
American Cotton company, owners
OF the roundlap baling machine,
have been bitter and unscrupulous.
They have been accused of at
tempting to gain monopoly, OF
using trust" methods, but grad
ually the facts are gaining head
way that the American Cotton
company is only one of three con-
Germs engaged in making round
bailing presses, and that it can not
enjoy any monopoly.
Then again objection is made to
the policy adopted by the company
of leasing its machinery to the
gin owner, instead of selling it.
The lease is, in effect, a royalty,
Tho amount Of the rental being
based on the amount Of cotton
baled IN the press-thus making

An elaborately illustrated article,
"Tennyson and His Friends at
Freshwater, by Y. c. Scott-O'Con-
nor, appears in the December Cen
tury. The author says of the poet;
Willingly, he took no part in the
destruction of life. His sympathy
with nature led him to mourn over
the cutting down of trees, as if they
were, like the grove in Dante's In
ferno," the abode of his personal
friends, and he never would con-
sent to his flowers at Farringford
being plucked. II can very well re-
member the look on his face, Miss
Weld, his niece, tells me, when he
met me one day, returning from
his meadows with wheelbarrow
full Of fading daffodils plucked by
me with the lavish hand of child.
He gazed at them very sorrowfuliy
and in gentle words expressed his
regret that so much beautiful life
had been needlessly sacrificed. "

man, II made a long stay in an

near a big manufacturing town,
and, being a young fellow with
plenty of time on my hands, ! staid
on much longer than / originally

quaintances, and among them
family named Jerrold, father, moth
er and daughter. They had a neat
little place few miles from where

the daughter. She was a fine, big
girl, with very black hair and very
red cheeks and voice that could be
heard across a ten acre field. She
could ride like the wind and walk 20
miles without murmur.
"Well, she sort of carried me
away with her impetuosity. | be-
came a frequent visitor at their
home and everybody made me wei

up my mind to pop the momentous
question. Miss Laura was more fas-

quite forgive, and the day was one
of those lovely ones in early May,

company depend on that Of the
ginner. Under the leasing system
it is found, the ginner runs no
risk, ties up none Of his capital,
makes as much profit out Of the
leased attachment TO his ginnery
as from the ginnery itself, in which
his capital is invested.
The advantages of the roundlap
bale over the old style bale are 50
many and SO great that its general
introduction will be rapid, and
the greatest sharers in the profit
will be those who perceive earliest
the tendency Of the times and pre-
pare themselves to supply the new
demand. The greater simplicity
of the bale, saving ties and bag
-ging, its greater security from tire
and consequent lower insurance,
its saving in shipping and its rap
idly growing popularity in the
mills at home and abroad, all
make up situation that creates a
demand for the roundlap bale
which must be supplied.
