thq south, ig illustrated in the fact that 0 is nearly twice as much as the en- Jtire capital invested in all the cotton mills of the United States in 1900, it Is about equal to the present market value of the entire property of the United States Steel corporation, it is
 more than the market value of the
 Standard Oil Go, and more than the en- tire capital of all the national banks Of the United States. For the first two or three years of this five-year period the southern farmers used their increased earnings to pay up debts; then they began to accumulate little; and this year they will, be in shape to spend more freely than for many years. Commencing with 1891, there was very heavy decline in the price of cotton, continuing until 1S9S~99, when the average price fin New York for twelve months was six cents a
 pound. The crop of that year of H. 274,oOO bales, the largest ever pro- duced, was worth s2s2, ,ooo.o while the crop for the present year. of about 100000 bales will be worth about $500, 0,OO0.O 900. The value of the seed in each year was about $50,0O0,00o. So that the total income of southern farmers from their cotton and cotton
 seed this year will be not less than $65O. 900, or at least $320,O00,0o0 more than the big crop of 1898 yielded. The total production of cotton for the last i've years has not been very much in excess of the total production for the preceding i've years; but for the last i've years the total value has been $2,575 100000, against $1.775, 100000 for the five preceding years, much of the great gain being during last year and this.

MT Roosevelt has had another op- portunity to serve his country as his torian in high office. in relation to the rananna affair, says an exchange in commenting on his message. He has every advantage for knowing all that has been done by the state depart ment, for we cannot conceive of John Hay having the audacity to conceal from his superior in office the steps which have been taken by our state department, nor could Mir Hay have secured that perfectly miraculous ser ies Of coincidences between the action of that and of the navy department without the intervention of the presi- dent. MT Roosevelt also has at his service all the records of the govern ment, which show under just what cir cunstances and with what under standings the treaty of 1S46 was nego- tiated, and what construction has been put upon 1t by Secretaries Cass, Sew ard. Fish, Blaine and the rest since that date. But if the historian of the current age had to depend upon Mir Roosevelt's message to congress for accurate and complete information on the subject he would write a narrative which would be a simple caricature of the facts.

The popularity of basketball among young women is increased largely by. the fact that it. can be practised i'll or out of doors, and that it is played with sphere bearing a marked resem- blance to football; for. though the ad- mirers of the latter game at first smiled pityingly on the milder sport, where the ball is passed with the hand, refer ring to the players derisively as s'hea1l-. baggers, even they have come to real fze that basketball involves some live ly scrimmages at times, and calls for hard practice and special qualifications for those who would excel in 1t, says a writer in a sporting journal. The school championship in wonen'a bas- ketball is held by the New York Nor nal college team which last year de- feated Barnard, Adelphi, Erasmus. and institutions. The students of Normal college play with mems rules. They have man coach, and go regularly into training at the opening of the has- ketball season. Interest in the game is widespread throughout the college, and there are always fifty or sixty eager candidates for the varsity team. These are organized into scrub teams and subjected to repeated trial games, till the best five have been selected to play for the college. These five are obliged to practice daily: to walk ev- cry afternoon; to drink milk or cocoa, and eat only toast for breakfast, and
 greatest and most trying ordeal of all--are solemn1y pledged to abiure the thing dearest to the schoolgirl palate. For under no circumstances may the varsity team eat fudge. The enforce ment of this regulation is the greatest difficulty which Miss Jeannette Engle, the pretty captain of the team, has to contend with; for, she declares, the other students, knowing of the ban, deliberately set .snares, in the shape of layer cake with fudge filling, for the four Spartan young women. These cakes, passed at the Normal spreads 7 are so delicious that to resist them re- quires the most heroic fortitude.

 Argentina began to awaken to her agricultural possibilities during the Paraguayan war, when she found a4good market for her products. When the war was over it was discovered that the Sup- ply was sufficient to satisfy the demand of the whole region of the river Plate This condition of affairs lasted for about ten years, at the end Of which time the country began to export considerable quantities of cereals to Europe, till In 1891 the exports of wheat amounted to 44S,000 tons, those of maize to 100000 tons, those of linseed to 10000 tons, and those of hay to 3G,000 tons. Tn 1892 there were under cultivation S,200,00o acres of land, which is only 3.7 per cent of the total area of the republic. The soil which has not yet lost much of it's natural phosphates, generally yields abundant crops, especially if the rains have nedtE-  CT been scarce nor excessive. The fol- lowing figures show the average yield of the soil per acre: Wheat, 990 pounds; maize. thrashed, 2,700; linseed. 720: rice, unthrashed. a,7oo; rice. thrashed, l $50; potatoes, 10,S00; tobacco, 765; sugar cane. 4o,5oo, dry lucerne. 22,50o; vetch, 1,0S0: haricots. 1,oSo; chick-peas, 1,0so.
 The date of sowing the seed and secur~ ing the harvest varies in the different provinces and territories, owing to the variation of their climates, brought about by their geographical situation and physical configuration.

MOrgantOMn.

Morgantown is the scene Of the
greatest business development of
any town in the interior of the state.
Two things are responsible for its
wonderful prosperity. One is its
fortunate location in the very center
of a region that is one Of Natures
richest storehouses, and the second
is, the public spirit, enterprise and
thrift of its people. Morgantown
folk don't know what gloomy pes
simism is. They have confidence in
their town and are not afraid TO in
vest their own money. Her richest
citizens are not Ct the boarding sort
that makes the expression of the
wish for "a few respectable funer-
ais" so frequently heard in amhi-
tions communities that are afflicted
with wealthy individuals whose
policy is to draw as much money
from active circulation as they can
before they are called away from
this mundane life. Morgantown 8
rich men are of the active sort and
they keep their money active. They
inspire confidence of all the people,
and the results pleasant optimism
that is universally shared by the
public of that city and the preva-
lence of prosperity that is well
founded and has every evidence of
longevity. Morgantown is indeed
fortunate, and its people are to be
congratulated on its surprising
growth and the prospects for its
continued development and expan
sion. A better idea of the business
situation in that thriving town may
be had by reading an article that is
printed ID the second section of this
issue.-Parkersburg News.

Clothing That's Right

Must meet every expectation of the
wearer. A suit may fit right and look right
and yet wear badly. Fit and looks can be,
seen before you buy, but time can only,
tell about the wear And right here's the
vital point in favor of our clothing. A
house may be honest enough, but if it is
ignorant or Indifferent as to the cloths
or clothing it purchases, it cannot con-
scientjously guarantee it's goods, because
it doesn't know.

East Indian Children.

East Indian children from their ten
derest years are more carefully trained
In certain respects by their mothers
than the children of the most civilized
peoples. The moment the youngest ba-
by ceases nursing its lips are closed by
its mother. If the baby does not keep
them closed, she uses mechanical means,
rigidly and even cruelty. When the ba-
by is put to sleep, it is strapped on to-
a board, its head slightly raised and its
chin lowered, which tends to keep the,
mouth shut. The result is that when
the teeth are forming and making their
first appearance they meet and contin-
ually feel one another Thus they take
their relative positions and that health
full and pleasing regularity that gives
to the American Indian as a race the
most manly and beautiful mouths in
the world

They Arouse Great Enthusiasm and
Produce Strange Trophies.
Athletics attract much more atten-
ton in England than in America. The
people are more enthusiastic, and it IS
not unusual to see $4,000 or 10000 peo-
pie attending the games There are
sports three and five times week, so
that an ambitious runner can fill his
trophy room with any number of suit
able prizes. An American champion
has no idea of the reception that awaits
him. The many sports committees at
tend him, and he is shown the hospital
ity of the cities.
1t is no extraordinary thing to be in
yited to a dinner in your honor or to-
stay few days with the lord mayor
Of ths city. All of these affairs, one.
must admit, are a great handicap to-
his training.
The prizes abroad are, as general
:ule, very valuable, much more so than
N America. They are not wholly con-
fined to silverware. such as cups and
the like, but it is nothing extraordi-
nary to see an athlete departing from
the races with sewing machine or
hatrack, and in some cases 1 have seen
orders for beds. The lucky competitor,
as rule, can have any article he de-
sires, and, as many British athletes are.
married they generally take the most
serviceable sarticle.-Arthur f. Duffey
