ness Will Soon Supply
All Her Own Needs.

1t is expected that Russia will be
able soon to supply her own needs in
cotton, according to a report received
at the state department from Deputy
Consul General Hanauer, at Frankfort,
Germany. She is one of the few coun-
tries which levies a tax on imported
cotton. A tax equal to almost five
dollars per 40 pounds, and amounting
to about two-thirds of the value of the
staple, is imposed. The importation of
cotton diminished over 72,OOO,OOO
pounds in 1899. while the production in
creased "a per cent. during the same
year. Great fields in Russia are now
planted with cotton, for the cultiva-
ton of the fiber is much more profit
able than that of wheat.

lie Kept Ills Promise.

There lived in Scotch village a
little boy, Jamie by name, who set
his heart on being sailor. His
mother loved him very dearly, and the
thought of giving him up grcived her
exceedingly, but sine finally consented.
AS the boy left his home she said
wherever you are, Jamie, whether
on sea or land, promise me that you
will knccl down every night and morn
ing and say your prayers, no matter
"hcthcr the sailors laugh at you or
not.
Mother. premise youI viii, said
Jamie, and soon he was on ship
bound for India.
They had a good captain, and, as
some Of the sailors were religious men i,
no one laughed at the boy when he
knccled down to pray.
But on the return voyage. some Of
the sailors having run away, their
places were supplied by others, one of
whom proved to be very bad fellow.
When he saw little jamie kneeling
down to say his pray crs, he went up
to him, and, giving him a sound box
on the ear, said "Nonc of that here,
boy!' Another seaman who saw this,
although he swore sometimes, was in
dignant that the child should be 80
cruelty treated, and told tie bully to
come up on deck and he would give
him thrashing. The challenge was
accepted, and the we'll deserved chas
tiscment was duly bestowed. Both of
them returned to the cabin, and the
swearing man said, "Now, Jamie, say
your prayers, and if he dares to touch
you, l will give him another dressing. {"
! The next night the devil put it into
the little boys mind that it was quite
unnecessary for him to create such a
disturbance in the ship, when it could
easily be avoided if he would only say
his prayers quietly in his hammock so
that nobody would observe it. But
the moment that the friendly sailor
saw Jamie get into his hammock with
out first kneeliug down TO pray, he
hurried to the spot, and, dragging him
out by his neck, he said, "Kneel down
at once, sir! Do. you think I am
going to fight for you, and you not
say your prayers, you young rascal?'
During the whole voyage back to
London this profane sailor watched
over the boy as if he had been his
father, and every night saw that he
knealt down and said his prayers.
jamie soon began to be industrious.
and during his spare time studied his
books. He learned all about ropes
and rigging, and, when he became old
enough, about taking latitude and
longitude.
Several years ago the largest steam
er ever built, called the "Great East
tern" was launched on the ocean, and
carried the famous cable across the
atlantic. A very reliable, expert
enced captain was chosen for this i'm
portant undertaking, and who should
it be but little Jamie?-for the world
knows him now as Sir James Ander-
son.-A. f. Presbyterian.
