What uses will be found of the cot
ton plant. Not many years back, the
plant was grown solely for the lint.
Everything else was considered of no
value. Nobody cared for the seeds
except enough to plant and to feed
COWS. Now the whole plant has a
market value. The lint clothes the
body of the rich and the poor, the
high and the low, it goes to every part
of the world. From the seed, comes
oil, meal and hulls that have almost
a Thousand different uses. Late ex-
pertinent show the stalk to have a
remarkable value for paper making,
and that as good paper can be made
from them as from the ordinary wood
pulp. If subsequent experiments are
successful, the Paper Trust ought to
be seriously crippled in a little while.

convention in connection with the open.
ing cf the Columbian Exposition in
1892 they hesitated. TO the surprise
and qualification of its promoters. the
convention turned out to be decided
success and attracted the attention Of
the whole country.
Cne of the principal aims Of the good
roads people who met in Chicago was
to secure the establishment of some
kind of a Government road office or
bureau at Washington. A committee
was appointed to lay the matter be-
fore Congress; pamphlet Of nearly
100 pages was prepared, and hearings
were secured before the committees OF
Congress. The outcome was the estab-
lishment in the Department Of Agricul-
ture of the Office of Public Roads In.

GOO. Its work was to be educational
in character. and General Stone was
made the first director Of the office.
The first important work of the Of
fice Of Public Road Inquiries was the
collection of information. Road sta.
tistics were collected. Methods OF
road building were studied. Condi-
tions under which roads had to be
built in different parts of the country
were ascertained. Then all this in.
formation was published in small'pam-
phlets for free distribution to the peo-
ple About fifty different publications
of this kind have been issued and sew

been distributed.

The Woman Across The Sea.
G.. W. POST.

O. her lips were red and her skin was
brown,
This woman across the sea:
And her hair a glistening. sable crown,
This woman across the sea;
And she loved a man. aye, she loved
man.
As ONLY 2 true MestiZa can.
But the frown OF fate was on her plan,
This woman across the sea.
o. the days were long that he called her
sweet.
This woman across the sea:
And she loved the dust at his very feet.
This woman across the sea;
For his skin was fair and his eyes were
gray. -
And he laughed in his careless, soldiery
And told her tales. as soldiers may,
This woman across the sea.
No priest came there to bless her love.
This woman across the sea;
She thought him true as the stars above,
This woman across the sea;
But he went away and she waited long.
And crooned to his child mother-song,
And worked and toiled and thought no
This woman across the sea;
O. the man she loved forgot her name,
This woman across the sea:
Forgot her face, forgot her shame,
This woman across the sea:
For he mated with one OF his fair-faced
kind
He's bound to her with ties that bind
SO he laughs at the one that he left be.
This woman across the sea.

Girls in Successful Whale Hunt.

A great whale hunt in Nesting Bay,
Shetland islands, came to an end the
other morning, after having lasted
twenty-four hours. The whales, which
numbered about sixty and were from
ten to twenty-five feet in length, en-.
tered the bay. Next day number OF
boats went out, their crews armed
with guns and other weapons. There
was a scarcity of hands, owing TO
most o: the men being away at the
fishing, but girls volunteered in large
numbers, and from their boats kept
the whales from escaping by throwing
stones. Forty whales were in turn
driven near shore and either shot or
harpooped.
