Apps TO THE COTTON AREA.

Paraguay 10 About to Engage In the
Culture on q Large Scale.
The recent advance in the price OF
cotton in this country and in England
has stimulated the culture of the plant
in other countries. The possibility
that the cotton manufacturers OF b
world are facing the prospect OF a
dearth of raw material seems to have
excited the people of Paraguay. Cot
ton grows wild in that country, and
the cultivated product, though differ
ent from ours, has a long and fine sta
pie.
AS in Peru, the plant is a small tree
rather than a little bush, and it lives
and produces for several years. Euro
pean manufacturers have reported
good results from it's use. The Para
guayans, however, have never given
much attention to it's cultivation.
The newspapers of Asuncion have
suddenly awakened to the opportunl-
ties presented, and have risen to the
occasion. They are offering many sug-
g%estions to the government and assert
that cotton will yet place Paraguay on
the high road to prosperity.
They ask the government to employ
the services of men of science, K
DR.. Bertoni, to prepare pamphlets for
distribution in the cotton trade OF
Great Britain, France and Germany,
descriptive of the nature and qualities
Of Paraguayan cotton and the faclll'
ties for producing large supplies OF 1t.
They ask that DR.. Bertoni, Mr.. Anls1ts
and other experts be engaged to make
a survey of the lands adapted to cot
ton cultivation in the republic; also
that the government print and distrib-
ute among the farmers of the lowfands
the best information as to the methods
Of cottOn-raising.
I'VE may in a short time export
500, 600, 900 worth of cotton in a year"

a German weekly published at Asun'
ciOn.

RATS MADE BED OF MONEY.
When the Nest Was Found the Miss
inu Bills Were All Intact.


A short time ago Mrs. Mike Huller,
who keeps a grocery store at the cor
ner of Eighth and Elm streets, hid
away where she could easily find it
SIG in bills for use at a time when
necessity or desire required it. She
thought of thieves, but not of the ro-
dent description, and was therefore
quite particular in selecting a hid
ing place. A few days later she
thought she would take a look at her
hidden treasure. with the view of as
surfing herself that the money was
where she had hidden it. but on
going to the place her surprise can
easily be imagined when, on placing
her hand where the money ought to
have been, she discovered that it was
gone.
Matters remained in that condition
up to a few days ago, when. hearing
a rat travelling around the house, the
idea struck her that rats were the
real purloiners Of her money. Going
to work with a vim. she was not long
in ripping up two or three planks
from the floor of one of the rooms of
the house, and, instituting a close
search, was greatly elated to find that
rodents had actually stolen the
money, packed it away and made a
cosy hey of it, for there it was be-
fore her eyes. Every bill was found
intact, not a dollar missing.
