OF CURRENT INTEREST.
EXPERT OF LACE.

Mrs. Potter Palmer is credited with
knowing more about laces than any
other woman in the country. Lace
collecting is one Of her fads, ana
whenever she hears of valuable Old
piece she tries to buy it. If il is not
for sale she at least has look at II
and learns if possible where it was
made. Wherever a bargain in lace is
to be had there you will find Mrs.
Palmer. She has visited lacemakers
in many countries and has passed
hours watching them. Her collection
of laces has grown to such proportions
that one room in her house is devoted
exclusively to it. Trunk is piled on
trunk, everyone labeled with the name
of the particular lace it holds. A
book telling where certain kinds of
laces may be found is kept carefully
by her secretary.

If reports are true an alarming state
Of affairs prevails in the state of
Mississippi. During the past year or
two the increase of crime has been
marked. but as rule the juries do not
convict the criminals. 1t is said the
juries are for the most part made up of
farmers. who invariably acquit the
criminals on the understanding that
the prisoners are to help in harvesting
the cotton crop. Governor Nardaman
declares that he has been appalled, at
tho record of crimes unpublished. and
he proposes TO take radical steps to
bring about different state of affairs.
1t would seem that the people of
Mississippi were sowing the wind. and
at no far distant day would reap the
Whirlwind.

AMERICA LEADS IN COTTON.

The entire world produces 100000
bales of cotton, of which the United
States alone contributes 10.500. 900 bales,
or rs per cent. Moreover, Americans
are attempting, with activity and per-
sistence, to monopoliZe the Lonsump-
ton Of the raw material which they
produce, and to this end they multiply
the spinning and weaving mills of
their country, augmenting the num-
Der of spindles and installing their fac
tories alongside the cotton fields The
consumption of American cotton in the
United States grew from 2,2S7 .00) bales
in 1893 to 3,9OS,0OO bales in 1903, and
the progress appears to have been
much more rapid since then.

RUSSIANS SELL THEIR WIVES.

In the Kharkoff, Poltava, and
Ekaterinoslav provinces of Russia,
there is a rapidly growing trade in the
sale of wives, frequently at their own
desire. The usual cause is the eX-
IRENE poverty of the husband who can
no longer keep his wife; though it is
often because the wife desires to be
free from a cruel, drunken partner.
The trade has become SO common that
few markets are held without such
transactions, which are considered 50
binding that no case has been known
of husband demanding his wife
back. The market value varies from
$40 to $40. More is never paid. The
women are required to be good house
wives and field workers.

large as that of the state of Pennsyl-

populations of Alabama, Indiana,
Wyoming. North Dakota and Hawaii,
one may obtain an idea of the i'm

most wonderful of all, cars will stop

A Bath man is receiving lots of
sympathy nowadays from his neigh
bOrs and friends. The man in ques-
ton, last spring, planted a good sized
number of squash seed, but one squash
only was the fruit of his planting.
This lone vegetable he has faithfully
cared for. and in fact nothing has
been left undone that might tend to
increase its size. 1t had obtained
prOdigious growth and resembled a
Topsham fair winner. The feelings
of its owner can therefore well be
imagined when he discovered the other
day that it had been stolen. His
wrath knew no limit. when he found
that it was gone, and pity should be
extended to the guilty culprit if he
and the owner should happen to meet.
