Can we Raise Egyptian Cottonp

The growing importance OF Egyp~
tian cotton in the market makes per-
tinent the question as 10 whether 1--WE
can raise it or not.
II is shown by Mr. Lyster II. Dewey
that this cotton is derived more or less
directly from American Sea Island cot
ton. This origin is indicated by its
close resemblance to Sea Island in hab-
1t Of growth and in general character.
The lint is characterized by its
strength. softness. luster, elasticity,
and oily feeling. It is especially adapt
cd for the production Of fine qualities
of knit goods. and also for the manu-
factGre Of merceriZed goods II is
grown in Egypt in the Nile delta re
zion and exclusively under irrigation.
The air whore il grows IS drier than
that OF the Arizona desert and it rare
ly rains from the time the cotton is
up i'm March until the int is all picked
in November. The soils there do not
lack fertility. but they are often
alkaline The demand for Egyptian
cotton is increasing both in this coun
try and in Europe. With an increas-
ing demand and q limited supply both
planters and spinners are interested in
its production in this country.
Mr.. Dewey notes the experiments
conducted in the cultivation of Egyp-
tian cotton in the southern states with
seed imported by the department of
agriculture. lie says:
Seed has been imported by the depart
mcnt and distributed for trial at different
times during the past eight years, and,
while the results have often heen rather
discouraging, there seem TO be ample
grounds for hope OF success. The eX-
Deriments i'm hybrldizatiou and continued
selection are producing very promising
results. In order t. establish the cultiVa-
lion Of Egyptian cotton i'm this country il
is desirable 20 have varieties that Will
yield more than The plants that have been
tried t. have larger bOlls. and a more
compact habit of plant to facilitate pick
ing. and 10 use roller gin for separating
the lint from the seed.
There can be no doubt but that con-
tinued experiment will produce simi-
lar cotton. IN fact. one Of the features
of cotton production hereafter must be
in the line of specialties. 1t is one of
the few crops in the world which is
tumbled on the world in a heap, with
but little regard To the assortment sug
gested by different families of seed.

Songs Of the Soil"
BY FRANK |. STANTON
In Harbor.

! The ships in the harbor-the white sails
are furled:
Weary the voyage from over the world;
| Weary the tossing on billowy foam;
But the captain is glad. and the sailors
sing Homer
| Home at last
From the wave and the blast.
Home at last-at last!
The ships in the harbor--at anchor she
lies
| Under the stars of the shadowless skies.
Sefe from the seas where the solemn
wrecks roam.
And captain and sailors are singing OF
home.
Home at last
From the wave and the blast.
Home at last-at last,
The ships in the harbor from ocean S
black nights:
The shore-bells rang sweetly. and Loves
were the lights!
And fairly they twinkled far Ger the
white foam
The lights in the beautiful windows OF
home
Horne at last
From the wave and the blast
Home at last-at last!
Oh. ship. safe in harbor for all the long
years
Are YOU freighted with love-are you
freighted with tears?
Do you bring to my soul from the storm
and the foam,
The lips that sing love and the heart that
makes home?
Home at last,
After wave and the blast
Home at last-at last.

What q member of the Cathedral
Congregation says Of the ssfresh
Reverend From
cooIgardis-

Since his arrival here some time $50
the Rev ". r Livingstone NJ A OF
Oxford and NJ A. of Melbourne has
made his presence felt In the land.
He has inflicted himself upon the good
people Of the Episcopal church and
they are beginning to we greatly Of
the man from the Colonies and Cool
xarSiie With the handles az both ends of
his name. He was well received at
first but the congregation of St. And
reEs is now heartily tired of him.
Said one of the best known members
Of the English Church last night in
conversation with Republican report
ar 4 see you have got the Rt. Rev.
the Bishop of Coolgardie after you on
the Sunday paper business
The reporter acknowledged the truth
of the statement and the churchman
went ON to say: 1.-TWO Sundays ago
this fellow who came up from the Col
mics was invited 10 preach at the cath
edral. He is what | call distorted
preacher-one of those fellows VINO
starts out on subject, gets away from it
and never gets back again.
He started to preach and after he
had gone little way he said he had
read in paper of the previous day
that the Reyerened J. K. Azbill was to
preach at certain Church on Sunday
night In the same paper it had stated
that W r. Livingstone was to deliver
a lecture He wanted to know by what
authority the papef had neglected to
call him reverend as he was just as
much if not more entitled TO it than
the other man.
With that he pulled out sheet of
parchment with seal hanging to it
which was a document purpoting to
be signed by the Archbishop of York.
Reading it he stated that the document
gave him full authority TO use
reverend before his name
To show it was genuine he point
ed to the seal which he said was the
seal of the Archbishop. Then he went
on to talk about Mr.. Azbil who he
said must belong to some sect and was
not entitled to use the word reverend
before his name. The church people
are all getting pretty tired of him
thinking that he is little too fresh for
a malihini. He announces lectures but
nobody goes to them. He can't preach
a sermon nor can he lecture"

We can hardly agree with Councillor
Isenberg, despite the self-evident ad-
vantage which poi diet has been to
him, that the manufacture Of poi by
the Chinese assures a clean article of
food. Poi kneaded by sweating Chi
namen in dirty shop-and that is the
customary way OF making this native
staple-may easily account for much
of the disease which is so rife among
poi-eaters. At the same time the pro-
posal to confine poi-making to one CEN
trail place, which the Council of State
voted down, seems to have been prop
erly open to protest on the score of
convenience. How would 1t do in
stead TO fix upon a limited number
of poi-factories. following in that re-
spect the example OF the license law
for saloons, and compel them to OBJ
serve certain regulations? 1t would be
easy to make the few live up to the
sanitary laws while the many, as now
constituted. could hardly be kept in
order save by larger outlay for sani-
tary inspectors than wise economy
might approve.

The Rev. DR.. Hills, of Brooklyn, the
other day told a story showing the I'M
settling effects Of the higher criticism.
1t fell to his lot to attend the funeral
Of negro, sharing the service with a
colored minister. AS the two clergy
men were riding to the cemetery the
brother in black suddenly asked DIR.
Hills how he got along at his church
with the higher criticism. DIR. Hills
replied that it was not a disturbing ell
ement at Plymouth. Well" said his
companion, its making things pretty
hot at our church. One of my dea-
cons who is down on 1t comes to pray
er meeting and prays. o Lord. bless
our pastor and help him to bring old
treasures ont OF the Word while an
other deacon who believes in it follows
him and prays, o Lord. bless our pas
tor and help him to bring new treas
ures out OF the Word and betwixt
those two deacons and the Lord they
keep me black and blue" DR.. Hills
naively added that he supposed the
deacons kept the minister blue while
the Lord kept him black.

The possibility that Judge Zane OF
Utah may be made Chief Justice of
Hawaii has been often remarked in
Mainland papers and even in the Sen
atorial debates on the Cullom bill
Lately rumors Of such a selection have
multiplied. The friends of Judge Zane,
one of whom Is said to be Senator Gull
lom, insist that an American Judge is
needed here to interpret American law.
However strained that assumption may
be in the case of the judiciary of these
Islands, it is one that the Washington
politicians might easily come to agree
with. On that point we shall see what
we shall see. 1t is at least a comfort
able reflection that If we have to take
an imported Chief Justice we might
easily go further than Zane and fare
worse.
