STEVENSON.
So Limp lie Looked as Though Just
Fished From the Sea.


He was tall, thin, spare-indeed, he
struck me as almost Enthusiastically
spare. | remember thinking that the
station draft caught him like a torn
leaf flowing at the end of branch.
His clothes hung about him as the
clothes of a convalescent who has lost
bulk and weight after long fever He
had on a jacket of brown velveteen-I
cannot swear to the color, but that de-
tail always comes back in the recalled
picture-a flannel shirt, with a loose
necktie bundled into sailors knot,
somewhat fantastical trousers, though
no doubt this effect was due in part to
their limp amplitude about what
seemed rather the thin green poles IA
miliar in dahlia pots than the legs of a
human creature. He wore a straw hat
that In It's rear rim suggested forget
fulness on the part of its wearer, who
had apparently, in sleep or needless
ness, treated it as a cloth cap. These,
however, were details in themselves
trivial and were not consciously noted
till later. The long. narrow face, then
almost sallow, with somewhat long,
loose hair, that draggled from beneath
the yellow straw hat we'll over the
ears, along the dusky hollows of tenn
pie and cheek, was what Immediately
attracted attention. But the extraor-
dinariness of the impression was of a
man who had just been rescued from
the sea or river. Except for the fact
that his clothes did not drip, that the
long black locks hung limp. but not
moist, and that the short velveteen
jacket was disreputable, but not damp,
this impression of man just come or
taken from the water was overwhelm-

Vast. Of Cotton Seed IN Planting.

The South has v stopped TO think
how much money n wasted In planting
each cotton crop. Let us figure IL out
and see. Upon q safe estimate n less
than 400, 900 ons of cotton seed ara
used each spring In planting. The seed
Is sown lavishly In drills-not dropped
at certain distances. as corn-and after
the plants are up the crop 10 thinned
with a hoe. more than nine-tenths OF
the young plants being cut out.
Here we find that the seed used Ia
planting the cotton crop would bring In
the market at least S. 00.0 200. As nine
tenths of this Is wasted, We see here q
total waste Of over i've and one-half
million dollars ($5. 100 00.)
It 10 time for the cotton growers OF
the South to call q halt TO this ex-
travagance. The old system Of sowing
cotton seed In the drill IL a remnant Of
the times when cotton seed was almost
worthless. Since then their value has
so much enhanced that q change should
be made In the manner Of planting. In
stead Of sowing the seed IN drills drop
them at a distance wanted. and by fol-
lowing this method not only the labor
Of thinning Is saved. but nearly 400 600
tons OF good cotton seed Is saved fer
commercial use. and the farmers Of the
South are five million dollars richer.

the seed plants and gives good stand
with one peck to acre, saves enough
seed TO pay for itself In one season.
