drab clothes and broad-brmmed hat,
walked into the lobby of Philadel-
phia hotel short time ago, and was
walking up to the desk, when he
stubbed his toe on an uneven place in
the flooring and measured his length
on the floor. A bell boy rushed to
assist him to his feet
''Boy," said the old gentleman
solemnly, does thee swear?"
'.Oh, no, sir; no, indeed said the
boy, taking his cue from the Quaker's

SAVING OF SEED CoRN.-It gives but
little trouble. yet results in great pro-
fit, for farmers to go into their corn
fields after the corn Is ready to gath
er and select the very best ears for
seed. Let the quality selected be as
uniform as possible as to the grain.
Ears with grains closely set, taken
from stalks that have produced two
good ears, are to be preferred. These
ears so selected should be hung up in
dry place with the shucks back. BY
making the selection in the fall much
time is saved when the period Of plant
ing comes on; besides, a careful selec-
ton will result in greatly improving
the quality Of the crop. A great many
crops of corn are grown In which
dozen varieties may be found with
every conceivable mixture. Pure white
corn, not too hard or f1inty, on large
ears and small cobs, Is the best for
all purposes Of the farm.-Southern

STOPPED His Governor
Hogg Of Texas, who has a reputation
for liking to play practical joke
every time he gets chance, says he
has been cured Of the habit. The last
time he was in New York the joke he
tried to perpetrate was turned back on
him in great style. 1t happened that he
wanted a shoe shine. The bootblack, a
small sized Italian, began to chatter at
him after he had taken his seat In the
high chair. Not being in a conversa-
tional frame Of mind, the portly gov
ernor thought 1t would be good plan
to feign that he was deaf and dumb.
So he responded by signs to everything
the bootblack said.
This proceeding naturally caused the
desired silence on the part Of the 1tal-
ian, and the governor was wrapped In
his own thoughts, when suddenly lit
tie newsboy ran up and asked him II
he wanted a paper. Before he could
reply the bootblack turned to the boy
and said:
You nota talka to him. He deaf"
The newsboy looked him over, says
the governor, and then remarked in a
loud voice:
well. say, he's a fat old hog, amt
he?"
The governor who weighs 300 pounds
or more, relishes telling the story, but
he adds feelingly that he kept up his
bluff after hearing the brutal comment
Of the newsboy.-New York Times.

ignorance Of the nature of the cotton
plant and the proper methods Of Its
cultivation. The promoters Of the
various plans to grow cotton In the
wilds Of Africa and in the West In
dies and other countries where 1t Is
now cultivated are simply chasing
rainbows.' With proper treatment cot
ton can be grown in many countries
which possess the suitable conditions
of temperature and rainfall. 1t is
perfectly evident, however, that 1t will
never be grown on large scale in any
Of these new fields Of production unless
1t can be made more profitable crop
than the other crops now raised in
these countries.
1.-The natives Of Africa-and this Is
equally true of the people in the West
Indies, Australia, South America, etc.
are not especially interested in the
matter Of an abundant supply Of cot
ton at a low price for the cotton spin
ners of Europe. I really cannot see
why any Of these people should have
at heart, in even the slightest degree,
the welfare Of the European spinners.
If they are induced to cultivate cotton
at all 1t will only be because Of the ex-
pectation Of realizing greater profit
from cotton than from the crops, with
the cultivation of which they are al
ready familiar. They will not grow
cotton from sympathy for European
spinners nor can they expect to derive
any fun or amusement from a crop
requiring careful attention the greater
part of the year. The high prices
which have ruled for cotton during the
past season have been caused by the
moderate crops Of American cotton for
several seasons, co-incident with the
expansion in cotton manufacturing In
the United States and abroad. Spec
ulation in cotton futures has also
even more than the legiti-
mate causes mentioned, to advance in
prices"
Col. Shepperson summarizes present
Of the cotton crop and In
says:
Blessed with temperature and rain
fall better adapted to the successful
culture Of cotton than any other coun-
try, and with an abundance Of land to
meet every possible requirement for
extension Of acreage, the United States
will undoubtedly maintain in the fu-
ture its present supremacy in cotton
production and continue to dominate
the markets Of the world"

A NATURAL CORNER.
Cod Liver Oil Is Cornered and Sells at
Hiqh Price.

Cod Liver Oil Is cornered and Sells at
High Price.
The oil extracted from Goldfish livers
has long been regarded as a specific
for some forms Of pulmonary disease,
says the Chicago Chronicle. 1t is said
to have cured or alleviated many cases
Of consumption, and.any article, which,
used as medicine, saves or prolongs
human life, Is Of the greatest value to
the world.
In its original state cod liver oil Is
one Of the most nauseous products of
piscatory industry. While the lungs
needed it's healing properties, in many
cases where the necessity was greatest
the stomach revolted at the sickening
preparation and it could not be ap-
piled.
But science, which is the apostolic
minister to every form Of human need,
found harmless and even helpful adul-
terants for the raw product, making
the prepared specific agreeable to the
most sensitive stomach. That Is why
the dispensatory preparations of cod
liver oil have all the virtues Of raw
material and are tolerable to the tastes
Of weakened invalids.
Cod liver oil is now cornered and
sells at a corner price. The former
market price was about $22 barrel;
the present price is $3.50 barrel. This
Is not the result Of speculative cor
ner, but Of a market greatly crippled
by the natural loss of supply.
The best oil for medicinal purposes
Is supplied from the fisheries Of the
Lofoden Islands on the west coast Of
Norway. The fish Of those waters yield
an oil with nauseous qualities unequal
ed by the oil from the cod In any other
seas. The Newfoundland Goldfish fur
nish oil that has no marked medicinal
properties and which is most used In
tanning some kinds Of leather, which
shows that it has preservative quail
ties, though not kind useful in human
disease.
The regular output Of the oil from
the Norway fisheries has been 10000
barrels annually. The output for the
year just closed was only 1900 barrels.
AS many fish were caught as during
any previous year, but the awful cold
Of last winter Is said to have Destroy
ed the small crustaceans which formed
the oil producing food Of the Goldfish.
That Is why our invalids are paying
Il vastly higher price for cod liver oil
or are buying a worthless article.
