Chained Son BY the Neck.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 2O.-Earl
Woods, II years old, son of the Rev. j
s. Woods, of Evanston, appeared at the
police station with a chain about his
nnkle, by which he said his father had
fastened him to a water pipe in his
room as a punishment for remaining
out until 10 o'clock at night. The %.
lice broke the chain.
This is not the FIRST time I have
been chained up" he said. "a few
months ago my father fastened me to
the wall with a dog chain looked
around my neck. He pulled the bed
away so that I had to sleep on the
floor. remained in that position two
days and during that time had to live
on bread and water" The boy refused
to return home. The minister was
sent for and calmly. said that he would
govern his family as he pleased

Appearances Deceitful.

Taxation Of Bachelors.

The taxation Of unmarried men as a
sound economic principle is being ad-
vanced seriously by European writer's
on social science and is a vital topic
for discussion in this. tho favorito,
month Of cupid. BY a somewhat do.
vious course Of reasoning the conolu-
sion is reached that the modern bach
elor is an incubus upon society, an I'M
deserving object Of charity, since his
living expenses are betrayed in largo
measure by the fathers of families.
Living as he does in lodgings by him
self, he makes no direct contribution
to the Golfers Of the State in shape Of
taxes. Exceptions there arc, &c be
sure, bachelors who are extensive own
ers of property upon which they pay
taxes, but single blessedness provides
no incentive to the owning Of ones
home.
The expenses of the State must be
met somehow and it ia upon the mar
ried men of the nation, already bur.
dened with family expenses, that they
fall most heavily. The bachelor pays
his triAing rent for a room or two and
either thinks no has wiped out the
score or rejoices that those noble phil.
anthropists, the married men, are
helping him foot the bill. But the
complaint Of the State against the
bachelor rests not only on financial rea-
sons. The bachelor is o shirker Of re.
sponsibilities, o dodger Of duty, q lag
gard in the procession of progress. The
family is the foundation Of the State,
the granite base that supports its
prosperity and p%erpetuity. Butin the
laying of this foundation the bachelor
plays no part. He lives unto himself
alone. His interest in all public
questions that affect the family. must,
necessarily, be but lukewarm, and it
is difficult to enlist his activities in
public affairs. The voluntary bach
elor is selGshness per-onifed. So it
is proposed to try taxing him. Where
singleness is bliss it's folly to have
wives,' says some cynio, artfully
adapting the old adage to suit his
j%aundiced point Of view, and too many
of the present mascualine generation
prove poor targets for oupid's arrows.
VIII taxing the bachelor do any good,
and is not the poor creature miserable
enough as it is, without adding to his
sorrows?C Should he be forced to pay
for q home and yet aot enjoy its bone
fits? These are questions that cannot
be answsred off. hand, but deserve the
most thoughtful oonsideration.-The
Housekeeper.

acres aud that cotton will get q third
Of it, or 500, 900 acres, this would add
about $50, QUO bales to the present
cotton yield of Egypt. This would
probably mark the maximum of the
Egyptian cotton crop for some years
to come, and it would not be so large
in the seasons when other crops prom
ised q greater profit"
Col. Shepperson gives a comprehen-
sivc survey of the cotton possibilities
Of China, T~urkestan, German East
Africa, Brazil, etc., and in conclusion
says:
Except for a small increase from
Egypt no greater contribution to the
cotton supply Of Europe can be OK
pected than at present. It is quite
possible to grow cotton in many ooun-
tries in which it is not now cultivated,
but whether it can BIO produced in
large quantities and ct q low cost aud
as pro6tably as the other crops, which
it would replace, is very different
matter.
There are vast possibilities for the
extension Of cotton cultivation in the
United States. According to the last
United States census there were in
1899 in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas,
Indian Territory aud Oklahoma 49,
600, 900 acres of improved land, of
which 10, 0GC 900 acres were devoted
to cotton. New land is being con
etautly brought under cultivation in
each Of these States and Territories
and the soil is the most productive in
tho cotton belt. These five States
and Territories have the requisite
area, soil and climate to enable them
to produce as much cotton as is now
grown in the entire country. To my
mind it is only o question Of time
when this will be done. Our
European friends should possess their
souls in patience. The Southern
States of this great and progressive
country will stand between them and
the cotton famine which their imagi-
nations cause to think is impending
in the future. There will be cotton
enough for all, and despite the united
efforts of Europe and the rest OF man
kind the absolute supremacy of this
country in cotton production will be
fully maintained."-N. Y. CONNER

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems TO find
it and set the matter right.
