COTTON MADNESS.

In the mils; of the great prosperity
which high cott.n is bringing to the
South, there are several dangers of
hope. but which, it overlooked. Will
grow into certain disaster
There are thousands of people in
the South today who are cotton mad
They are simply intoxicated by the
magnificent rise in the price Of the
staple and by all that this means To
their section and state and property
They have been seized by the spccu.

sending hard earned cash to New
York as margin for operations in cot.

hazardous enterprises Of every kind.

The gravity OF the situation may
not be as yet SO great as the above

Doubt II Inventions Have Made Women
More Attractive.

OF course, there is nothing new In
the cult of beauty; the only novelty
lies in the extrayagant fashion in
which new inventions are applied to it.
Electric baths and vibration treatment
may be innovations. but cosmetics and
medicated baths date from the earliest
ages. Women have always aspired to
be beautiful, and have painted their
faces and tired their heads since
time immemorial and In all countries
The geisha OF Japan changes the color
of her lips three times in one evening.
and no little Japanese lady ever misses
an opportunity of whipping out the
rouge pot and mirror which form an
indispensable part Of her toilet. Among
the recipes which have come down to
us from our ancestresses are many
prescriptions for the complexion COM
posed of lnarshmallow and wax, honey
of roses and olive oil. Mixed bathing
in tubs Of water thickened with scent
ed bran and salutary herbs was the
fashion in medieval France and re-
called the days of Roman luxury. Va
por baths date from an even earlier
period, and one wonders H. there is
any nostrum to-day for the preserva-
ton OF beauty which was not known
to those professional beauties Of
France, Diane de Poitiers and Ninon
de pEnclOs.
The question is, Are women really
any more admired to-day for being
steamed and smeared and electrified?
Is any attraction worth having which
is obtained by the painful and expen-
sive methods we read of? 1 doubt 1t.
Nobody is really taken in by the arti-
fieially manufactured, beauty.
1t Ia the duty of every woman to
make the best of herself. Certain de-
fects of complexion and figure can be
easily remedied. Physical exercise,
fresh air and good diet will work won
ders with those, and by the addition
Of smart dressmaker, milliner and
clever hairdresser many a plain girl
has been transformed into a pretty one.
IL wOman's nose is inclined to absorb
too much color and her cheeks too lit
tie, no doubt few judicious dabs Of
powder and rouge in the right places
may be .exeusable.-London Outlook.

meeting at the London Tavern ad-
journed, and very largely from the
machinery then and there started, the
Scriptures have been translated into
450 languages and dialects, understood
