RUSSIAN COTTON.

Indications increase that the United States may yet overdo the cotton busi- ness. It is pointed out by the Provi- dence Journal that of all the European countries Russia will feel the cotton famine the least in proportion to the size of it's manufacturing business. Some years ago it suddenly placed heavy duty on cotton and began the establishment of plant ations in Central Asia and in the Caucasus plains. The result is that, although the mills of the country have doubled in number, they use less American cotton than they did early in the eighties. At the pres- ent time they can increase domestic production without great trouble, and probably can rapidly prepare for the exportation of some of it, such for ex- ample, in grade as that now raised in India, which has displaced American cotton in Japan. It may be- however. tlistl ltlE IluoSletllo VIII pI6l6r to carry on their trade in this article in the form of cloth, and that there will soon be news from the East that, while Amer ican cotton cloth cannot be sold there, Russian varieties are sure of a mar ket. The disturbed conditions may prevent Russian exports to China, but if something does not interfere with it the present check to American trade will perhaps prove permanently disas- trous to American plans for the dis posal of our cloth.
 With Russia producing cotton in Russia and England and Germany pro- ducing it in Africa the outlook for the continued bounding supremacy of United States cotton isn't as good as it was.

Rev. Minot J. Savage has made re- markable statement about Henry Ward Beecher. An intimate friend of Mr. Beeoher," he said, told me one day that Mir Beecher told him it was no uncommon thing for him to preach in trance. He did not say that he al- ways did, but that it was an experience that was not unknown to him. He would rise and begin to speak, when there would be sudden rush of blood to the head and he would lose con- sciousness; and those were the days when he preached his most wonderful sermons. He would come to himself to find the people leaning on the rail in front of him absorbed and intent with listening, and when some one would ask him what he meant by saying a special thing he would have to wait for report of the sermon to see what it was"

In recent conversation with Mime. Curie a viennese journalist asked if she had time to devote to anything else beside her radium experiments in the laboratory. She replied that she had little time to read, but that both she and her husband were very fond of music and the theatre; that they often attended musical and dramatic per- formances; and that one of her pleas antest "reminiscences was the represen- tation in Warsaw of the plays of shapespere and Schiller by the Mein- ingen company.

them, just as polar blast shrivels the
