25th has the following that is well worthy
Of the careful perusal OF every one intere st.
en- in the cotton situation this year:
III the crop has been underestimated the
receipts would have increased m 4terially
long before this, with the approach OF the
Christmas holidays, which always causes
farmers to sell in order to secure Christmas
money, and merchants to do likewise TO
clean up their accounts to the first OF the
year as far as possible. Then again we
have had panicky stock markets for over a
fortnight, with abnormally high rates for
money, and the demoralizing influence on
European and Continental trade of the
South African war and its disaster thus far
to the British arms and prestige. Notwith-
standing these conditions there has been no
material increase in the receipts and the
worlds visible supply is now about 1,3O0,-
600 bales less than last year, and is actually
$500, ,403 bales against 7.217, ,144 year ago

"The strength OF our contract markets

seems more than sufficient to maintain

THE PLANTERS DEPENDENCE ON COOP
SEEDs.-W ithout good, fresh. fertile seeds,
good crops are impossible 1t is, then, of
the most vital importance that you should
exercise the greatest possible caution in Sc
lecting the seeds you are to plant the com
ing season. Since you cannOt determine
their fertility or freshness by sight, the only
certain way to insure yourself against
worthless seeds is to buy only those that
bear the name of a firm about whose relia.
| bility there is no question. There are
better known seeusmen anywhere, and
none who have a higher reputation for in
tegrity, than d. M Ferry & Co, of De roit,
Mich. Ferry's Seeds have been a synonym
for good seeds for many years. Thousands
OF gardeners who continue to plant them
season after season, do so with the full con.
fidence that they will uniformly be found to
be of high vitality, and, most important OF
| all, true to name.

M. s. Stone, state superintendent OF edu q.

Banner are not agreed whether Dewey day
in Vermont was legal holiday Mr.. Stone
contends 1t was not, and SAYS the teachers
in the schools OF Rochester, which are
year, were obliged to make up the day in
order to entitle the town to its portion OF
public money. In reply the editor OF the
Banner says: 1--WE beg to differ with Pro-
fessor Stone. The statute spec 6es the le-
gal lidays of this state, and provides that
other days may become such when the gov
ernor proclams them days of thanksgiving,
etc. As we happen to remember both Gov
ernor Smith OF Vermont, and Governor
Roosevelt Of New York, worded their pro-
clamatious 80 as to make Dewey day le-

The Power of Fears.

A most remarkable experiment was
once tried in England during an epi-
demic of smallpox. Seeing that the
people were becoming panic-stricken
as the number of victims increased
daily, certain leading physicians came
to the conclusion that fright was kill
ing almost as many as the disease it
self, and they determined to ascertain
by an experiment whether this conclu-
sion was correct. So they applied to the
government for permission to expert
ment on condemned criminal, and
their request was duly granted. The
criminal, it is said, was promised q
pardon, if he survived the ordeal which
he was about to undergo. And this
ordeal, he was told, was nothing less
than to sleep one night in bed in
which a person had just died of small
pox. The man consented, and that
night he slept, or rather lay, for, pre-
sumably he did not sleep, In the bed
assigned to him by the physicians.
The result was that in the morning he
was found to be suffering with small
pox, and of this very disease he died a
few minutes later. Yet the bed in
which he had lain and the sheets and
blankets on it had been purchased ex-
pressly for this very purpose, and had
never before been used by any person.
