Speaker Henderson is extremely quick

gard as his predecessor, says Leslie's

biting irony of Mr.. Reeds, and he never
makes a point at the expense of wound

recent receptions there were among the
visitors two sisters, whose striking re-
semblance to each other and their moth
er is widely commented upon.
How much Mrs. X. and Miss w look
alike" remarked the Speaker to Mrs.
Henderson.
Which is the handsomer?" spoke up
some one standing near by, much to the
embarrassment of the ladies. Quick as
flash Mr.. Henderson turned to the mother
of the women in question, a noted belle
in her time and still a woman of much
beauty. Their mother is more beautiful
than either" said the Speaker, calamity,

A wen known COLUMBIA avenue photog-
rapher recently had his suburban home
overhauled, says the Philadelphia Record
A new skylight was added and alterations
were made in the roof. The men EN-
ployed took their time and did not over
work themselves with the result that the
roofer put in a bill almost as steep as his
calling. When the owner of the house
expostulated it was explained TO him that
the men had to be paid for their time
and that they had spent several days on
the job. They did indeed! said the
photographer, and he produced a number
of snapshot Photographs, representing the
men on the roof of his house as taken
from the attic window of an adjoining
building. Some were sitting smoking
some were reading newspapers and 9th
ers were lying on their backs. why"
said the astonished contractor, these
are my men," Exactly so,' replied the
photographer, land you want my money
for that kind of work.

COTTON FARMERS HEARD FRov

The farmers do no want any advice
about the cotton acreage. Each one of
Them however is anxious that his neigh
Dor shall be advised against planting for
a larger crop of cotton than he did last
year
Mr.. Stevens the Commissioner of Agri-
culture, who has just returned from a trim
of inspection, says the indications are
that more cotton will be grown in This
state this year than in any year for long
time and no doubt similar indications are
observable in the other cotton states He
reports that the farmers are even plant
ing their gardens in cotton. The high
price of the staple is making them forget
the lessons of the past. The prospect is
that they will neglect other crops and de-
vote their whole time to cotton. In the
early part of January, and even as late
as the first of February, the Indications
were that the sales of fertilizers in This
state would not exceed those of last wear
The situation has suddenly changed
There is a prospect of cotton going TO 10
cents and the farmers think they will do
a little specializing. They will take the
'-N - HNsAfS hIANhS VI AGTtlnEGTS with
the view Of making big crop Of cotton
and getting a high price for IT. They
may be successful, but it is by no means
certain they will.
A big crop will send down the price II
will be known pretty early In the season
whether the crop is a big one or not. IT
wonld be so much better for the farmers TO
stick to the plan that is gradually making
them prosperous-the plan of diversifying
their crops. a 1000, 000-bale crop means
good prices throughout the season. A H..
100000 or even a 11.OOO 0OO-bale crop means
Z, and probably 6-cent cotton. 1t is NOT
improbable that 1900, O00-baIe crop
would knock the price down to cents
AT that price there is very little money in
cotton even TO farmers who are able 10
make cotton at the very lowest cost.
There is no use to advise the farmers
however, not to Increase their cotton acre
age. They intend to plant as large an
acreage as they can.

The story Of the siege and relief Of
Ladysmith will form one of the most
tragic chapters in the history of the Brit
ishBoer war of 1S99-190O. The relief was
effected on the one hundred and eigh-
teenth day of the siege, and after three
previous attempts to fight way from
the banks of the Tugela had failed. A
London cable to the Herald estimates
that the siege and relief have cost the
British no fewer than 6.192 men Of the
forces of Gems. White and Butler, made
up as follows: Killed 1Ol6, wounded S7s5.
missing 1,56S, died from disease 51S The
troops that were locked up in the be-
leaguered town numbered 1850: hence it
appears that the casualties of all kinds
numbered almost as much as the force to
be relieved.

An Interesting experiment in nrirnar

An interesting experiment in primary
school education is under trial in Ithaca.
N Y. A class of twelve 5-year-old chill
dren was organized. and a skilful teacher
was put in charge to see what might be
done on the basis of one hours instruction
per day the children TO have all the rest
of the time for play and home life. The
experiment has been encouragingly sue
cessful and the conclusion OF the teachers
and the school officials who have studied
the case is that 1t would be better i'm all
primary schools TO divide the school into
four sections or groups. each group to be
present but one hour in the day, and no
two groups at the same time. The conf.
dent belief is cherished that the children
i'm question can do the fun amount Of
study without overcrowding; that the
room can be kept well ventilated, and thar
better work VIII be accomplished by the
primary teacher herself.
