SECONDHAND FOOD BARRED.
Leavings of Rich Mems Banquets
Must Not BE Eaten by the
Poor of Paris.

"What is one mans meat is another's
poison" is a proverb just now borne
out in literal fact by the police raid
upon the arelquins of Paris, reports a
London paper.
The arelquins are the keepers Of
small restaurants al the market, whose
supplies are provided from the broken
remains of repasts at different fash
ionable restaurants.
The proprietor takes each morning
a tour of the fashionable quarters and
by paying a small amount to different
maitres d'hotel he has the privilege of
selecting a menu for his house from
what is left of a swell dinner the day
before. This he serves up to his GUS
toners for two cents and the latter
have the privilege of eating what the
a~ristocrats had set before them.
The elegance of the courses, how
ever, is outweighed by their unwhole-
some effects. So many maladies are
laid at the door of these secondhand
feasts that the police have undertaken
to protect the public stomach from pos
sible indiscretions. The arelquins will
soon be a picturesque feature of the
past, for as their licenses expire they
will fade from existence.

PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH.
An Awakening Among the Agricul-
tural DrybOnes that POrtends
Good Things.

Sometimes a slang word or express
sion loses its disreputable character
and becomes almost respectable by
reason of its expressiveness. The
proper use of speech is to convey
ideas. Therefore, when we say the
farmers of the southwest are get
ting a move on Them" everybody
knows what we mean. They have
been Il little slow to realize the prog
ress of the age, and prone to ':leave
well enough alone" But there has
been an awakening among the agri-
cultural dry bones, and a resurrec-
ton of the long dormant spirit of adj
vancement. The farmers have eyes,
and with them have looked about and
seen the wonderful improvements by
which one man has been enabled to
produce as much of manufactured
products as half a dozen once did.
and better and more perfect products,
too. Farmers could not afford to
sleep while others were wide awake
and on the move. It is hardly neces-
sary to mention the factors that have
cause.-the awakening. Probably it was
the instinct OF self preservation that
aroused the farmers, and caused them
to get up from their lethargy and
fall in rather than be run over by
the procession of progress that looks
neither to the. right nor to the left,
but straight ahead. The spread of
agricultural education by NEAR of
colleges and papers devoted to agri-
culturalimprovements has done much
to stimulate farmers to better meth
DDS, and to arouse among them a de-
sire for advancement. This has led
to the adoption of farmers insti-
tutes as the best-known method of
imparting instruction to those actu-
ally engaged in farming. The A. and
M. college can reach the boys, and
their effect has already been felt,
through their graduates, but educa-
ton is progressive, and there should
be no stopping place on the march.
1t is largely graduates of the A. M.
college, who are the most active in
farmers Institutes, exemplifying the
great truth that the more one learns
the more he wants to learn, and the
more he realizes the need for addi-
tional knowledge. Farmers are also
realizing the need for additional
knowledge and n everywhere found
ready to profit by the new departure.
In the southwest they are becoming
thoroughly aroused, and figuratively
speaking r. going around crying
out men and brethren, what must
we do to be saved?" And the answer
is, use every means within your reach
for gaining additional knowledge. At
tend farmers institutes whenever OPP
p%ortunity offers; if possible, take a
short course at the A. and M. col
lege; read good agricultural papers
and send you- sol to tho A. and M.
college, and when he returns, you can
learn of him.--Texas Farm and
Ranch.

AND PLANTER.
wEEvIL IN EGYPTIAN COTTON.
The Iden that Egyptian Cotton In
Immune From Boll Weevil
Attacks Punctured.

Peculiar circumstances surrounding
the experimental field of the depart
ment's Egyptian cotton or the farm
OF Mr.. L. 4. Collins, at San Antonio,
have caused the opinion on the part
of some persons that that kind of
cotton is not injured by boil w@eevil.
Early in the season there were very
few weevils there, but by the mid
die of September they were numerous
enough to puncture every square. The
fact is that numerous observations
made last year as well as this ON sew
eral varieties growing at different
places show that Egyptian cotton is
particularly susceptible to damage
by bcll weevil. The tendency of the
varieties observed, including Janno-
witch and Matitifi, is to grow a very
large stalk. Absence of irrigation
does not officially modify this ten
dency. The inevitable result is that
Egyptian cotton is very late in ma
turing, setting no bottom crop and
late cotton is certain to be n INJURED by
the wcevil. Long before the Egyp-
tian plant has stopped putting on
stalks and stem the American plant
has matured some fruit. Anyone who
would have visited the Collins farm
in September would have seen a very
neat demonstration of this fact. At
one place in Mr.. Collins experimental
field there were 25 or 80 adventurous
American plants growing in the midst
of the Egyptian. These American
plants were covered from bottom to
top with opened bolls averaging
about thirty to the plant, while the
Egyptian plants had but little fruit
uniniured. The American plants were
about 81 feet high and the Egyptian
about SIX feet. but plant for plant,
the former had much more fruit.
There is nothing in the Egyptian
cotton plant distasteful to the weevil.
The writer has seen the pest in Mex
leo working in three cotton and at
Brownsville, in this state, in sea is
land cotton, both ~botanically less
closely related to American upland
cotton than is the Egyptian. In the
San Antonio field by the 18th of Sep
TENDER the weevils were so numerous
that it was almost impossible to find
an uninjured square, and the absence
of suitable square had driven them
to many bolls tt.at had previously Civ
en- promise of opening. At Pierce
and Iialletsville, Egyptian cotton has
been seen by the writer that was com-
pletely pruned of it's fruit. The more
important feature of the matter,
however, is that the result of many
observations has been to show that,
as far as the weevil is concerned, per-
haps the most important cultural ex-
pedient in raising cotton is to obtain
an early crop. The nature of the
Egyptian plant is to mature late, and
this causes it to be more susceptible
to damage than ordinary American
upland cotton.-Farm and Ranch.
