DUTCH COTTON CULTURE.
Experiments Have Shown Possibility
of Success in This In
dustry.

In the Netherlands a committee has
been formed for the promotion of the
culture of cotton in the Dutch colonies,
according to a reportfrom United States
Consul Pitcairn. The Dutch government
is reported to have promised it's support
and assistance. A report recently pub
lished by the committee had annexed
to it as exhibits copies of letters from
Surinam containing information on the
result of culture, by way of experiment.
of sea island and upland cotton. Sam
plies accompanying such letters fur
nished proof of the possibility of sue
cessful culture.
Experiments in the culture OF cotton
have been made on the island of Java
also. two different species having been
planted, of which one is domestic and
the other was imported from the United
States in 1861. The latter is said to have
a longer staple than the former. The
exports of cotton from the Dutch East
Indies in the year 100 amounted to $500
tons. of which almost oIe-half was
of Javanese growth. The administra-
ton of the r~esidency of Samarang. the
chief center of the cotton culture. is
promoting and protecting the interests
of the cotton planters In every respect.
The government has placed at the dis
posal of the said administration the
sum of $2.416. to be used as loans and
Announcements to the native population
for improvements and extension Of the
cotton culture.
Another report has been received
from Paramaribo. in which it is said
that extensive experiments are also be-
ing made in that district.
The Dutch committee. the expert
ments having now sufficiently advanced
intends to establish a permanent bust
ness Office.

SUMMER GIRLS FAILURE.
Rugged Herself Up to Make a Els,
But Her Finery ALI
Wilted.

Once upon a time there was a girl
who decided that she would be the
real thing in the summer girl line,
relates a st. Paul Globe writer. Be-
fore the snow melted she was plan
ming a wardrobe that would bring
down any summer youth from a mil
lionaire prospective to a Dry Goods
clerk. She embroidered all her shirt
waists by hand, and made seven sets
of t%urn-overs before the summer
STYLES were settled, only to learn that
they were wearing 1880 yokes. She
bought a white silk drop skirt for her
null dress. and then her poor old
mother had to go without a new sum-
mer hat so that daughter could have
the real thing in a lingerie hat to
go with the silk drop skirt Father
was driven to the verge of nervous
prostration by the domestic discussions
of skirt yokes and the best thing in
color combinations, and brother Jimmy
lost his ~half-holiday chasing down
cerise near-silk when she wanted
cherry lining for her lawn dress.
The clerks at the stores all got to
know her-she had so many goods
exchanged-and when at last she pulled
out for a Jersey town with two trunks
and a dress suit case her old father
said: This is Heaven" and her
mother stopped taking nerve cure.
But the girl found she was up
against 1t after all. Her dresses faded
and dropped in the sea air and so did
her hair. Sitting up nights sewing
had made her sallow, and she squinted
from doing fine embroidery. The girl
who smade a hit with the few summer
boys In sight wore the same linen
dress three days running and had only
one party dress to her name. But she
had the real thing In eyes and dim
pies. So the girl who had meant to be
1t said she hated the seashore. and
packed back to town to see a beauty
doctor.
Moral: Fine feathers may make fine
birds, but all women are not birds.

Every educated Russian knows thres
languages besides his own, and many
of them four. knowledge of the Eng
fish, French and German languages is
considered necessary to culture. A
family having small children employs
two to four g~overnesses, from whom the
children learn foreign tongues before
they are taught the more difficult Rus
sian. This command of language makes
possible the fact that Russians have a
better knowledge Of the worlds affeHrs
than any other people.

Who, ! pray yOrt would hesitate to
compare the members of the cabinet
Of those years with tho present one,
or with any one? Is the fame of
Bayard, Manning, Fairchild, Endicott,
Whitney, Villas, Dickinson, Garland
members of the 1884 cabinet, and Oh
ney, Carlisle, Lamont, Smith, Francis,
Herbert, Bissell, Wilson and Harmon
of that of 1892 dwarfed when contrast
ed with the cabinet officials of to-day?
when the comparison is once COM
pleted you will be eager to ask the
people which is the better. They will
declare the victor in the contest be-
tween administrations to be the one
which in addition to other excellencies
saved many millions a year to the
nation.
Extravaganza Is running riot in fed
eral, state and municipal governments
in spite of the well-directed effort Of
some excellent officials. The indebted
ness of the municipal governments is
steadily piling up, bond issues are in
creasingly frequent, and the people
have not the satisfaction in many in
stances of a full equivalent in i'm
provements for the money expended.
And the federal government is leading
in the race of great expenditures. Ere
long the people will demand a reform
in administrative expenses.
And they will do it now If they are
made to appreciate the whole truth.
Party Not a Machine.
"The democratic party is, not a ma
chine, 1t is a body Of citizens who be-
lieve that on the whole its fundamen-
tai principles are best adapted to the
conduct of the government.
Among so many patriotic and intel
ligent men 1t Is inevitable that d.
vergence of opinion as to minor ques-
tions and differences of view as to the
correctness of the disposition of dead
issues should be found. The party Is
concededly united to-day as to every
vital article of faith which can reason
ably enter into the pending canvass.
"Our ad~versaries are ~intrenched, In
full possession of every department of
the government, and it Is a mistaken
policy that would drive away voters
who would help to GUST them. The
cause cannot be advanced by attacks
on others within the party with whom
we have had disagreements, but who
are now working with us for a COM
10 result.
"All men who have attained any de-
of prominence have their friends.
and the exercise of ordinary prudence
forbids the alienation of allies who
are willing and anxious to assist. The
coming election is not to be deter
mined by the September vote in hone
lessly republican states where local is
and candidates even are g~rievous-
ly handicapped. but the result in Yer
mont Tuesday admonished us. and
there can. be no harm in giving voice
to the admonition-that harmonious
cooperation of all and the elimination
of personal. factional and unimportant
differences, involving no surrender of
principle, are essential to success"

Coffee Versus Alcohol.

A traveller has made the observation
that coffee-drinking people are very sci
dom given to drunkenness. In Brazil
for instance, where coffee is grown ex.
tensively and all the Inhabitants drink
it many times a day, intoxication is
rarely seen. The effect is not only no.
ticeable among the natives, bit the for
eigner who settles there, though pos
sessed of a passion for strong drink,
gradually loses his liking for alcohol as
he acquires the coffee-drinklng habit
of the Brazilian.

has led to further exploration, with the
result that from time to time comes

the birds healthy.
About 500 squads are sold weekly,
the young birds finding a ready mar

homers, dragons, runts and crosses.
Some of the runts measure 40 inches

are many measuring 35 inches.
The farm covers 16 acres and repre-
sents an investment of $25 900.

Products manufactured from
Pennsylvania crude oil are fast
becoming a luxury. The future
will develop a greater demand for
these products than can be sup
piled. The steady but sure de-
cline Of the fields and the higher
prices at which these products
must sell will put them in a class
by themselves. Inferior products
from the cheaper products of
Western crude will find ready
sale in the general markets at
prices that are within reach of the
masses. The consumption of this
grade Of products now exceeds
the production and the consump-
ton will increase as their value
becomes more generally known in
the uses to which they can be put
for various manufacturing pur-
poses. The rapid strides in the
development of both production
and consumption of oil are mar
velous. The methods of produc-
ing oil have been improved but
slightly, and the cost not greatly
cheapened of late years. In all
cases the price to the producers is
so fixed that they are entirely at
the mercy Of the Standard Oil
company with the possible excep-
ton of the Pure Oil company in
the Pennsylvania fields, and the
evidences are that the Pure Oil
company would not know either
the price for crude oil or refined
oil if it were not for Standard
quotations. An investigation has
been ordered Of the methods of
the Standard Oil company by
President Roosevelt. When the
time comes for this investigation
the Standard Oil company will
have it's own representatives on
hand to be investigator and
nothing extraordinary will be de-
veloped. The world will be told
that the producers are being paid
"all that the markets of the
world justify" and that consum-
crs are being supplied with oil at
prices that promote meagre prof
its and its investigators will never
discover that these are not true
conditions.
We are told that the Standard
Oil company is investing $4,000,
600 in pipe lines to transport Yves,
tern oil. Then the price of oil is
cut by which one may judge that
it is not the Standard, but the
oil producers who are investing
the money, and they are paying
their assessments as the Stand
ard see fit to make them.
