Ambition.

Ambition is a circle where men run, Each hoping he the leading place may find. Each backward glance shows him the win
 ming one;
 Each forward look tells him he is behind. And then aside he casts the empty cup Another round, and in his eagerness That which he flung away he would take
 up. Ambition is circle where men run Each fancying himself may hold the lead A race with prized guerdon never won; Where no one Is c0ntented with him need; Where men go, striving ceaselessly, the
 round,
 And think at last their efforts are com

A number of farmers in Lafayette county, Missouri, are making a spe- cialty of growing cob-pipe corn. They say they get as much corn from it as from other corn, and have the re- ceipts from the cobs besides. One man raised twenty-five acres, from which he got s1sS worth of cobs and 1,12O bushels of corn, or about $336 worth. That is, his receipts were about $21.S6 per acre-more than most farmers get from an ordinary corn crop.

COTTON IN AFRICA.

By and by cotton corner" will not be easy The French, as well as the English and Germans, are awakening to a sense of the vast future possibili- ties of the cotton growing industry in Africa. The whole question was dis cussed at a meeting of the French Col onial Union in Paris the other day, when General de Trentinian, pioneer of cotton cultivation in the French Sou dan, and other influential persons were present. NJ. PeIterie, President of the French Cotton Association, said that the experiments of General de Treu- tinian in the Soudan proved that cotton of good medium quality could be grown in that region without any improve ment in the method of cultivation. Had his initiative been followed France would now be several years i'll advance of her African neighbors in Togoland and Lagos. He referred to the danger of the absorption of the European cot ton trade by the United States, and maintained that French Africa and the Soudan were better qualified than either Togoland or the Congo coast land for cotton growing. He deprecated the in- troduction of American methods of cul- tivation on the ground that Africa was not ripe for them, while the superior fertility of the soil made them unneces- sary. In a general discussion which followed special emphasis was laid upon the necessity of encouraging native cul- tivation by buying all the cotton which they produced.

The monks of, St. Bernard have taken advantage of modern inventions in their work of saving lives. Ten days ago two Swiss alpenists started out to go to the hospice. Half way up they were overtaken by a snow storm and lost their way. After wandering around the summit for several hours they came across one of the new shelters built by the monks. In it they found bread, cheese, wine, spirit lamp and telephone. With the latter they call- ed up the hospice and asked for help. By the time they had finished a good meal a monk and a dog arrived to show them the way. The telephone at these shelters has saved many lives during the past winter,

The Municipal Laboratory of Paris recently obtained the conviction of a manufacturer of timed meats, whose so-called preserved venison, hare, larks, etc, were found to be simply horsefesh cooked and seasoned in va rious ways. Nearly all the witnesses who came forward, however, testified to the excellence of the meats, and in spite of all proof that they had eaten horsefesh for game, were loud in their praise of the productions of the enter prising manufacturer.

Menelik, King of Abyssinia, knows how to deal with bad trusts in his do- niinions and has the power to do it.. For a number of years certain com panies, mostly English or Italian, have enjoyed monopolies in exporting the products of the country, such as ivory, gums and fruits and have defied any competition. Menelik is not embarrass- ed by any courts or other bodies through which there may be long legal delays. He simply puts his foot down, makes known his wishes and they are obeyed He has not said that these monopolies mustacease and that trade shall be free to all. He has given no reason for his action, for that is not necessary.
