Cotton Crop and Conditions.

r. r. Dancy of Houston says: The cot
ton crop Of 1S99-1t00 has. been accepted
by the trade at about nine million bales.
and it is probable that high range of
values would have been sustained for the
remaining portion of that crop, all dur
ing the summer months, but for the fall
ure of Price, Mccormick & Co. to carry
out their contracts and obligations.
On the failure of Price, Mccormick e.
Co. all kinds of reports were sent to New
York city, apparently with the view to
crush the market to the lowest point
possible. and some of them would have
led you to believe that the new crop was
already being gathered. Conditions east
of the Mississippi show Improvement
lately and increased acreage over last
year. But the crop is late and nowhere
fiattering. In Texas a most unsatisfac-
tory condition prevails. 1t is a known
fact that North Texas has planted the
largest grain crop in her history and so
can only put so much acreage into cotton,
and any increase there would be limited.
The heavy rains have caused loss I'm the
bottom lands and replanting the third
time. While in the rolling country In
many places the farmlands were badly
washed and the seed destroyed. making
il necessary to replant that portion of
the crop. Thus making planting, growth
aud crop very irregular, with the bulk
of it late.
In Southern and Southwest Texas the
condition is worse than anywhere in the
cotton belt. Much land has been plant
ed three times and each time overlooked
and the seeding destroyed, some now be-
ing planted the fourth time, and some
that is still so wet it cannot be prepared
for replantlng. 1t is in this section where
the majority of the early crop comes
from, and just now the outlook is gloomy
enough and has no comparison in our ex-
perience over so large an area. One OF
the oldest and best-informed members OF
the Houston Cotton Exchange said few
| days since, he did not think It possible
| for Texas to make 100000 bales this com
| ing season. Now, / do not say that, but
| do say that the outlook now is not
| promising fer early cotton and the con-
| Stunning world had best take good care OF
| what is already made and can be had.

A PRETTY OLD WORLD
Said That Animal Life Has Existed

Curator of Field Columbian Museum
at Chicago Eases His Calculations
on Experiments Made in Fn-
nous Caves of Indiana.

Oliver {. harrington, curator of the
Field Columbian museum at Chicago,
has Just competed experiments with
the rocky formations peculiar to the
famous caves of Indiana which are
stated to prove the fallacy of Usher's
chronology, based upon the fragment
AIRY and varied computations of the
dates in the Bible, placing the age of
the earth at only about 5000 years.
Mr.. harrington says he believes that
animal life has existed on this planet
for at least 1O,t 90, 600 years, calculating
year at the length of time now recog-
nized, and probably for double that
length of time.
These conclusions were reached by
estimating the period required for the
petrifcation of the stalactites. or lime
stone formations, in the caves men
toned. In 1850 one of these stalactites
was cut and the increase since then has
been carefully measured, showing that
about S5 years are required for the for
| nation of cubic inch of the sub
stance.
Elmer S. Riggs, the assistant curator
of the museum, has returned home
from his fossil-hunting trip in west
ern Colorado, during which he found
the fossil remains of the largest animal
which ever lived on this earth, accord
Ing to all scientific records.
The scientific name of the animal is
brontosaurus excelsis, and is common
ly termed dinosaur. The specimen of
which Prof. Riggs found part was,
according to scientific calculation, about
IS feet long and 20 or 81 feet in height
The next largest specimen of this crea-
ture ever discovered was estimated to
be G5 feet long and Is feet in height.
The portions of the skeleton secured
by the Riggs party were the two thigh
! bones, a number of vertebrae and seven
or eight ribs. The thigh is sin feet and
ten inches in length, the vertebrae Il
inches in diameter, and the ribs over
nine feet long and eight inches broad
The dinosaurs were the largest ami
mails of prehistoric times, existing
when the region now covered by the
Rocky mountains was a waste of marsh

AN INGENIOUS MINISTER.
Preacher Among the Cowboys of
the West Who Has Won I'm
bounded Popularity.

The ingeniousness of Rev., Harry A.
Handle, rector of St. James mission,
Meeker, Col, constantly evolves enter
tanning features for the old and young,
attracting interest to the mission,
writes Stanley Stokes of "A Minister
Among the Cowboys" in Ladies' Home
Journal. He is an accomplished artist
and takes photographs for everybody.
An immense see-saw, swings and other
entertaining features have been erect
ed by him in the rectory yard, where
everybody in the town enjoys them.
The preacher spent part of his earn
ings for phonograph with set Of
so rolls, which drew big crowds to the
rectory, some coming 100 miles to see
the wonderful talking machine. Near
ly every day when the stage comes in,
Mr.. Handle changes his working clothes 8
and goes. to the hotel to acquaint him
self with the strangers arriving, and
invites them to the rectory, all of which
is unusual and unlocked for on the
frontier. And that is one of the ways
by which so many people in his parish,
which is of greater area than the states
of Delaware and Rhode Island COM
bined, have become acquainted with
the popular Little Minister of Rio
Blanco," as he is called.

WAYS OF WOMEN ARTISTS.
How Brave Girls from the West and
South Learn to Paint in
New York.

There is much informa tion about the
ways of women artists from the west
and south who study in New York, in
THE Bacillus of Beauty" the new
novel by Harriet Stark.
The reader is introduced almost at
the outset to Kitty Ried, red-headed
girl from Cincinnati, who is just doing
up fiat parcel of drawings of animals
to take down town, and who bases a
demand for extra strong tea upon that
fact.
I'm starting for the Star office" she
says, 'to find the photo-engravers
routing the noses and toeses off all my
best beastesses."
Kitty - the animal artist" of Sun
day newspaper-which might be por-
trait from the life, since more than
one New York paper has employed such
a specialist at high salary. She irri-
tates the readers by breaking into a
promising tete-a-tete between the
heroine and her lover from the west
by dashing back within five minutes
to sketch "Hippopotamus Comic"
that she thought of on the street.

CHINESE LANGUAGE LOGICAL,
1t Becomes Exceedingly Simple when
You Understand the Common
Characters.

Every word in the Chinese language
has a logical reason for its existence
and peculiar formation. and each word
consists of either one individual char
acter or a number of them combined
in order to make a complete word.
Take the word field, square divided
into sections or lots, writes Frederic
Poole, in Ladies' Home journal. When
the word man is written by the word
field the combination makes the word
farmer, indicating the avocation of a
man who is associated with fields and
agriculture. Still more suggestive is
the Chinese word for truth, sincerity,
faithfulness, honesty. 1t is formed by
the combination of man and word,
thus expressing that one form of hon
esty consists in a man standing by his
word. The word for box is indicated
by square having four sides of equal
length, while a prisoner is literally
man in box, fact which is often
grewsomely illustrated In China when
a criminal is sentenced to death, and is
carried to the place of execution in a
square box.

WIDENS FIELD FOR WOMEN.
Austrian Order Allowing Them to
Study Medicine and Phar-
macy.

The ministry of education of Aus.
tria issued ordinances the other day
granting permission to women to study
medicine and to practice as phar-
macists. The course of study in both
cases is similar to that imposed on
men, but no woman will be permitted
to carry on drug store independently
without special permission from the
ministry of the interior.
Hitherto any Austrian woman desir.
ing to practice medicine has been com.
PEELED to study abroad, and then only
succeeded in obtaining permission to
practice with the greatest difficulty
The women are delighted with the
ordinances, which practically afford
them two more chances for making q
livelihood.
At present the Austrian university
places women in two faculties-phil-
osophy and medicine. The women are
hoping that the faculty of law viii soon
be thrown open.
