THE KINGDOM OF COTTON.

1t is hardly too much TO say that
cotton is now the basis of the domi-
nant industry of he world, says Clar-
ence II. Poe in the November Worlds
Work. In their primary forms iron
and steel products represent value
of only slT00000.00O yearly,
while the estimated value
of the worlds annual out
put of Gotten goods Is $1,000 ,000,-
900. Twice as much cetton as wool
Is produced, and three fourths OF the
worlds total cotton supply is grown
In the southern section of the United
States. Twice the worlds total gold
product last year would have been
required to pay southern farmers for
lint and seed, three-four.hs of the
capital stock of all the national banks

wholesale cost Of the breadstuffs con

was slS47-an increase Of GA. OF
over 81 per cent. OF course. the con
sumner himself has had to pay a great
deal more. But this increase in whole
prices alone amounts to an addition
of 1870 to the living expenses of a
family of 1--WE on a single necessary

coAxING HER TO SING.

They asked the lady fair to sing; she
bllishei and shook her head,
70, favor us with Just one song the
eager people said
We've heard SO much about your
voice; they say that II is grand"
Again she shook her head with all
the grace at her command.
The hostess urged; the guests did,
too; they begged and they implored
They said tina. they had heard her
voice was one 10 be adored.
20, won't you sing?' 4 really cant.
Now, yes; you know You can
She said she hadn't brongnt her notes
and shyly Bit her fan.
"That doesn't matter; moi a biz, Sing
! anything At all.
| BY now the guests were crowding in
from dining room and hail.
And everyone insisted thai she sing,
| but as before
She told them NO and added that
her throat was slightly sore.
They vowed she must; she said She
would, she really would, indeed,
But that her songs were all at nome,
and music she would need,
And SO, OF course, she couldn't sing,
but they were very kind.
20, sing rs anything" they cried. 60
on. and never mind"
And so Il went, they asking her, she
hating TO refuse,
And thanking them for compliments
and looking at her shoes,
Until at last their begging ceased. and
silence sifted in.
While YEARLY the hostess said: How
happy we'd have been."
A look Of dim surprise then came in
TO her gentle eyes
And from her ruby lips there came
some disappointed sighs;
BUT no one asked her any more, the
people turned away,
To listen and applaud some one who
played when asked to play.
Then soon she said she must &c
home; she said she was not well;
And 0. as she was leaying-'tis sor
ny thing to tell
Concealed beneath her flowing cloak
she hid with artful grace
A heavy leather roll that looked lAd,:
like a music case!
The moral of this little tale is taat
it's only fair
10 think that people will nos aS&
for things unless they care
To hear your voice or see your art,
and that you will be hoaxea

will be wildly coaxed.
