Mans Alliance with the Dog.

ANdh AllIdHCe W1CH the DOgs
 Man loves the dog, but how much more ought he to love it if he considered, in the inflexibe harmony of the laws of nature, the sole exception which is that love of being that succeeds in piercing, in order to draw closer to us, the partitions, everywhere else impermeable, that separate the species! We are alone, abso- lutely alone, on this chance plan ct, writes Maurice Maeterlinck in the Century: and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us. A few crea- lures fear us, most are unaware of us, and not one loves us. In the world of planets we have dumb and motionless slaves, but they serve us in spite of themselves. They simply endure our laws and our yoke. They are impotent prisoners, victims incapable of escaping, but silently rebellious and, so soon as we lose sight of them, they hasten to betray us and return to the former wild aud mischievous liberty. The rose and the corn, had they wings, would fly at our approach, like the birds.
 Among the animals we number a few servants who have submit ted only through indifference, cowardice, or stupidity; the un- certain and craven horse, who re- spends only to pain and is attach ed to nothing; the passive and dejected ass, who stays with us only because he knows not what to do nor where to go, but who nevertheless, under the cudgel and the pack saddle, retains the idea that turks behind his ears {; the COW and the OK, happy so long as they are eating and docile be- cause, for centuries, they have not had thought of their own; :; the affrighted sheep, who knows no other master than terror; the hen, who is faithful to the poultry yard because she finds more maize and wheat there than in the neighboring forest. do not speak of the cat, to whom we are nothing more than a too large and uneatable prey, the ferocious cat whose sidelong contempt tolerates us only as encumbering parasites in our own homes. She, at least, curses us in her mysterious heart; but all the others live beside us as they might live beside rock or a tree. They do not love us, do not know us, scarcely notice us. They are unaware of our life, our death, our departure, our return, our sadness, our joy, our smile. They do not even hear the sound of our voice, as soon as it no longer threatens them; and when they look at us it is with the distrustful bewilder- ment of the horse, in whose eye still hovers the infatuation of the elk or gazelle that sees us for the first time, or with the dull stupor of the ruminants, who look upon us as a momentary and usless accident of the pasture.

Worlds Fair News Notes.

Idaho Day at the Worlds Fair will be Sept. 6
 Indiana's poultry exhibit at the Worlds Fair will consist of 1 1000 birds.
 The Chinese pravilion at the Worlds Fair is receiving the staff decorations and other orna- mental work. The big dragons on the north facade presents a startling and striking appearance.
 A Dayton, O., car comp any will exhibit at the Worlds Fair two handsome railroad coaches, all of the timbers and finishing lumber of which were made from catalpa trees grown on a farm near Dublin, Ind.
 The Nevada Worlds Fair Com mission has alre ady secured splendid specimens of 118 varieties of minerals found in that state, all of which will be exhibited at the Worlds Fair.
 Work on the Festival Hall, the the last of the important expo sition buildings, is progressing with great speed. Weather con- ditions have been such that the contractors have lost but little time.
 A prize of S1OO has been offer- ed by Director of Works Taylor to the one who suggests the best point of vantage from which to view the glories of the Worlds Fair. The competition is open to the world and will close June 15, 1904. Communications should be addressed to the secretary of the Exposition.
 A company of Milwaukee men have organized and applied for a concession to install fountains in various parts of the Worlds Fair grounds and sell mineral waters, ice cold, at a penny glass. The exposition management has in- stalled many drinking fountains and filtered river water will be supplied free.
 In order to be thoroughly equipped to handle the increased railroad traffic incident to the Worlds Fair, the Western Union Telegraph Company is stringing three new wires between St. Louis and Terre Haute. Ind, to be used exclusively by the Big Four and Vandalia lines.
 P. W. Pillspury, a wealthy citizen of Derry, New Hampshire, has offered to give 5000 toward d fund to exhibit his state's re- sources at the Worlds Fair. The gift is contingent on the raising of S14, ,00O by the citizens of the state. The state board of trade has taken the matter in hand, and it is thought that the sum of S20,000 will be secured in few weeks.

DINA are apparently the only States
which show a greater efficiency Of me-

ut appears that the cost of picking
Is much higher in the States and Ter

in the former being from 40 cents

from SO cents (1S9s) in Virginia to b3

of the former being from cents IN

The average number of pounds OF
upland cotton picked per hand per day
was greater in 1900-1901 than in 1901
02 in all the States and Territories. In
feoo-19o1 the lowest average number
Of mounds picked was 90 in Virginia
and the highest 151 in Texas. AS In
the case of the cost of picking, II Will
be noticed that the average number OF
pounds picked In 1900-1s0l Is much
higher in the territory west than east
Of the Mississippi River, the range be-
ing In the former from 121 pounds In
Missouri to ISL in Texas and in the
latter from 96 pounds in Virginia TO
100 in Georgia. In 10000. as In the
previous year. the lowest average num-
Der of pounds picked was In virginia,

A further investigation of this sub
ject throws some interesting light upon
the comparative value of white and
negro labor in picking cotton. That
the Investigation might be confined to
those regions most favorable TO cotton
production. only counties producing To-
900 bales and upwards were selected,
from each of which three or more re-
ports were received their aggregate
production. according to the census re-
ports of 1900 being 6,61S.26O bales of
cotton. or about SO per cent. of the to-
tai crop. The population of those

is set forth in the following table.

For the year ending June 80. 1904.
there were 2sS.s22 miles of railway
track in operation. an increase of near
ly 10000 miles during the year. There
were 43.s71 locomotives in operation,
an Increase of 2.646 over last year. We
also had 1,753.390 cars OF all descrip-
tions an increase of $4,000 during the
year. The number of persons on the

OF to 2.7s0 bales in 19o2-03. In the
latter year there were no shipments
to Fernandina. The unusual demand
Tor cotton by Southern spinners in
1902-03 Is illustrated in the increased
shipments to North Carolina mill
points, which amounted to over $4,000
bales. as compared with the previous
year.
The total movement from the State
in 1902-o3 was S97126 bales, as COM
pared with 1.010.217 bales the previous
year. and s14,7so bales in 10000.
Concerning shipments from railway
stations the bulletin says:
There are certain stations In all
the cotton States known as ''concen-
trating points," at which congresses
are located. Cotton from various
other stations is here concentrated for
the purpose Of compression into much
smaller and more compact bales for re-
shipment to the seaboard or to distant
island markets. Compress stations
are located at nearly 200 interior points
as well as at all Of the important
Southern ports.
But compress points are not neces-
sarily the only stations at which cot
ton Is concentrated. There are numer-
GUS stations at which congresses are
not located that handle large quanti-
ties of cotton. These stations are
sometimes the local markets for a large
territory, and thousands of bales are
shipped in from other less important
stations, and hauled in wagons from
the plantations, to be sold and shipped
to some compress point or local mill.
Hence 1t Is that at compress and
other concentrating points the figures
given represent not only the cotton Of
local origin or growth. hut aIso that
which originates at other stations. In
most instances the shipments from the
minor stations are also given. The en-
ceptions are in cases of several short
line scs railroad having hut few inn
portant shipping points. the cotton or
iginating on such lines being credited
