the last two months. Hardness is
now limited to a few families who at
tach little importance TO getting their
children to school on time. The senti.
ment in favor of punctuality is very
strong among the pupils. Il is now so
strong that pupils often refuse to en-.
ter the room, preferring to return
home rather than mar the record of
their room. This Is true when the
pupil is in sympathy with the school.
But on the other hand # he is not in
sympathy with the school tho feeling
.of resentment among the pupils is gen.
orally too strong for him to face and
he prefers to remain out. Teachers
do not send the children home for be.

against them, but on the other hand
they have gone out and prevailed on
their entering when tardy. We regard
punctuality one Of the most important

BY r. M. Larner.

Washington, Sept. 19-Cuba may soon
be an important factor in contributing
to the supply of sea island cotton. Ac-
cording to a report vouched for by
Consul General Steinbart as a report
made by an American cotton expert, :"
and included by the consul general
in his annual report to the State De-
partment, much of the lands in the
province of Pinar del Rio are admir-
ably adopted to the raising of sea is
land cotton of the highest grade. AS
cotton grows wild in other parts of
Cuba there is no reason to suppose
that it cannot be probably cultivated
outside of Pinar del Rio, but this re-
port deals only with that province.
AS to the character of the land the
report says: THE soil is extremely
well suited to the purpose of raising
sea island cotton, being a rich, sandy
loan, we'll watered and lying nicely.
Part of the land is under cultivation
with tobacco and part with sugar cane.
Several hundred acres are woodlands,
with abundant timber for building pur-
poses and fuel, but the greater part
of the tract appears to be recently
cleared virgin soil of great fertility.
Cotton was found growing wild in
the woods, without any cultivation,
rich in block and full of open cotton
and grown bolls. These trees appear
to range from one to five years in age.
The fruit blooms and forms on the
younger plants; all seemed to be in
perfect growing condition, which is re-
markable at this season of the year
December), and leads me to believe
that they would thrive still better and
bear still more abundantly in sum-
mer."
Never Killed by Frost.
One great advantage that the cot
ton grown in Cuba has over that
grown in most parts of the United
States is that it is never killed by
frost. The same plants produce cot
ton year after year. The author of
this report says that 500 mature bolls
per tree for the first year would be
a conservative estimate and that every
succeeding crop would be better until
after the third or fourth year. This"
he says, would give result OF four
pounds Of seed cotton to the stalk
in a years growth. or about 5000
pounds OF seed cotton to the acre.
which would net at least two 0-pound
BALES. The plants all appear 10 bear
full and do not shed the young bolls
as they do In Georgia and Florida"
Referring TO some cotton grown in
that locality from sea island seed i'm
ported from Florida. the report SAYS:
THE staple Is fine and silky. AMI long
or than the average sea island cotton
in the United states. The stable
furthermore, appears 10 me as strong
as any of our finer class OF cottous.

strength with the employment OF

Statistics Show That Best of Sea Island Staple
Can Be Raised

Florida cotton, and it would sell cheap
at from Is to q cents per pound. 1
believe that after the third year the
plant would grow so that the cotton
would get out of reach, but this might
be remedied by tapping"
All Conditions Most Favorable.
The author of the report sums up
his conclusions by saying: "In a word
l consider conditions in Cuba from ev-
cry standpoint, more favorable to the
successful cultivation of cotton than
conditions in the cotton belt of the
United States, and that, with proper
preparation of the soil careful selec-
ton of the seed, and frequent cultiva-
ton, the sea island cotton grown in
Cuba will be far superior to our best
varieties. The native wild cotton re-
sembles the Egyptian variety in tex
ture and has a clean, black seed, with
staple somewhat longer than our
best uplands, but 1 would recommend
the exclusive growing of sea island cot
ton, as the conditions of the soil appear
to me favorable to the successful rails
ing of the choicest variety of long sta
pie cotton"
While the cultivation of cotton is
carried on to some slight extent in
Cuba the production is not yet suffi-
cient to make it an important factor
in the present trade of the island, and
the industry is not yet of sufficient i'm
portance for the consul general to have
included any statistics as to the
amount grown in his report. It is ev-
ident, however, that if the special re-
port that he quotes correctly represents
the capabilities of Pinar del Rio there
are opportunities for successful plant
ing in that province if not in other
parts of Cuba, as we'll.

MERIT MAKES
IT FAMOUS,
The Only Remedy in the World Ex-
cept n Surgical Operation That
Will Certainly Cure Any
FOvm of Piles.

The study of physicians, the expert
ments of chemists, the loudly adver-
tised pretensiOns of quaCks. have been
for years expended in one direction;
to find a pile cure that would cure.
The results have been a number of
harmless and in most cases useless
ointments, suppositories and even in
ternal remedies. which the public have
weighed in the balance of experience
and found wanting; nearly all of them
gave some relief, but nothing approach
ing a radical cure resulted from these
preparations.
The remedy required is one which
will Immediately stop the pain so severe
in many cases of piles, and then by
contracting the small blood vessels
(capillaries) to their normal size, pro-
duces a radical cure by reducing and
finally absorbing the tumors and heal
ing the inAamed raw mucous sur
faces.
Until a few years ago, no such rem
edy had been produced. but at that
time a suppository was placed upon
the market which has since proven
itself TO be the long-sought perma-
nent cure for this common and dis
tressing trouble; it has rapidly become
famous throughout the United States
and Canada, and is now sold by all
druggists under the name of Pyramid
Pile Cure.
1t is now the best known, because
it's merit and safety have advertised
it wherever used. 1t has been adver-
tised by word of mouth, from one suf-
ferer to another; people who have tried
everything else, even submitting to
painful and dangerous surgical opera
tions without avail have finally found
that piles can be cured without pain
and without expense practically, as the
Pyramid Pile Cure is sold for the NOM
inal price of so cents and $0O per
package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pains
and at the same time contains no CO.
caine, morphine or narcotics; the acid
and healing properties contained in the
remedy speedily remove, cause
healthful natural contraction and alb
sorbtion of the tumors. 1t will cure
any form of rectal trouble except can
Ger and advanced fistula, which by the
awy nearly always results from neg
lecting proper and timely treatment for
piles.

The Value of Charcoal,
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of il the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges: they
are composed Of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
antiseptics i'm tablet form or rather in

BIG SHUT DOWN.
Thousands Out of Work With no
Money or Home.


Detroit, Sept. ia special dispatch
from Sault Ste Marie, Mich, says: The
shut down of the Consolidated Lake
Superior Company, throwing $500 men
out of employment, has caused a panic
in the Canadian 500, which is in a
worse condition than ever before in
its history.
The action of the police department
in swearing in a large number of dep
utes, including all the conductors and
motormen of the street railway lines,
has served to stir up the anxieties of
the people.
A special train left last night for the
purpose of bringing in the 1000 or more
men employed in the WOODS and mines.
They are expected tonight and to-mor-
row. and not a man of them will have
a penny with which to buy food or
lodging. A guard has been placed
around the Office of the paymaster of
the company. The company has fitted
up the car barns in such a manner
that the men may be housed there after
a fashion, while the company and the
town are making arrangements to feed
the men.
