Condition of the
New Cotton Crop.
Glance at the Situation in the
Cotton States.

Whenever through speculative in.
fiuences or agencies the price OF
cotton futures rises or falls during
the growing season, the writer's who
"do" the market reports find abun.
dant reasons to justify the course Of
prices, whether the movement be
upwards, dowuwards or Auctuating.
and 90 the phenomenal fall of this
week is ascribed to the "brilIiant
crop reports F"
A close examination of reliable re
porte on the condition of cotton in
the fields, would scarcely justify the
above Characterization, unless in de ed .
the prospects for this crop are
always brilliant" at this season OF
the year. for the reports indicate that
cotton is barely normal over the
greater portion Of the belt while in
Texas it's condition is much belo n
the ssasonable average In North
Carolina much Of the cotton is lust
coming up, and great deal of re
planting is necessary while the TEN
parature is too low for rapid or favor.
able development.
In South Carolina the conditions
are more favorable and with the ex.
ception Of late plantings, which are
coming up to irregular stands, the
crop is in good condition, but the
plants are unusually small In Geor.
gia the stands are variable and late
planted cotton is not coming up we'll.
In the southern and middle sections
Of the State. the stands are good aud
chopping is finished
In Florida early cotton ls good,
while late plautlngs are coming up to
unsatisfactory stands.
10 Alabama reports concerning
cotton are generally favorable. except
that cool nights have retarded
growth, and caused lice to develop
or appear.
In Mississippi cotton has been
worked rapidly and almost without
exception the stands are reported
good. although the nights have been
too cool for the best growth of the
plants
In Louisiana cotton planting is fin
ished, and the work of scrapiog,
choppipg out, or cultivation is being
prosecuted with vigor
10 Tennessee cotton is coming up
slowly. and early cotton is making
slow growth, ss the result of cool
nights.
In Arkansas cotton is being chop
ped out. end as & rule the stand is
good, although the plant is generally
email owing to the cool nights.
ln Texss the nights have been uu-
usually cool Cotton planting pro.
gressed slowly in the central and
south portions. but is nearing com.
p'etion in the north portion. The
condition of the crop is much better
in the northern portions of the State
than elsewhere. but on the whole is
not up to the average.
The conditions in other States
where cotton is raised do not vary
materially from the States named
and on the whole the condition of
cotton 's scarcely up to the sessona.

belongings. The loss is estimated at
$500. 900. The Chinese loss was esti-
mated at about e 200 900.
The japanese consul general at Ha-

MISS TUNIsON AT WORK.

She never requires the assistance of
anybody, and all the work she turns
out is done strictly by herself.
When Miss Tunison is at work she is
seated in a chair which has been spe-
cially made for her. From the arm of
the chair rises a metal rod which sup
ports a small wooden table, and it is
upon the table that all the work is
done.
In spite of her affliction, Fannie al
ways has cheerful word for visitors.
Indeed, it is her greatest pleasure to re-
ceive company, and she is never so
happy as when she can show off her
wonderful powers.
In appearance Fannie differs some
what from the ordinary mortal. Ow-
ing to the excessive use of her tongue,
the muscles of the neck are extremely
well developed and stand out thick and
prominent. Her eyes, too, have a
languid look about them and roll, when
she speaks, in Il peculiar manner. Her
speech is thick and heavy, no doubt
due to the excessive size of her tongue.
The way in which she threads a needle
is peculiar. She first holds the needle
in her teeth for the purpose of planting
it firmly in the wooden table before
her. She then takes up the cotton, bit
ing it off the length she requires. The
next step is to hold the cotton with her
lips, which she screws up in peculiar
manner. Then in a trice, before one
can say Jack Robinson" she takes
aim at the eye of the needle before
her, and ten changes 20 ane, the needle
is threaded.

wbeat Consumed Each Yenr.

Few people realize how closely the
wheat crop is consumed each year Ac-
cording to the statistician of the United
States department u agriculture, the
worlds total production of wheat in
1897 was 2,226,745,OJ0 bushels-not
enough, by millions of bushels, to sup
ply the worlds food demand and fur
nish seed for crops of another year.
Consequently, countries of the earth
where the crop was light were visited
by want and high prices, in India the
need even touching the point of famine.

known. Knowing from experience that
the mother would have little faith in
the efficacy of soap and water alone, the
doctor wisely added that she should put
a certain amount of salt in the water.
The use of salt in this way being entire
ly new to the mother, she would natur-
ally conclude that this alone was the
curative agent and obey the doctors di-
rections. As the woman was about to
leave, the doctor, as was her custom,
repeated the directions, saying: Now,
remember to give the baby the bath of
soap and water and salt every day
The woman looked up and asked:
please, lady, ken l put little sugar in
it, too?"
Sugar." said the astonished doctor.
"Why do you want to put sugar in it?"
Cause the baby won't take nothin'
that amt got sugar in"
And then only did the bewildered
physician realize that she had unwit-
tingly said: Give the baby the bath"
To the mother the word give" meant
to feed, and the baby's salvation is
probably due to the fact that il had al
ways so strenuously objected to taking
anything that did not have sugar in it.
