BALE THEIR COTTON WELL.
Bombay Shippers Bundle Tt So Com
pactly They Are Not Afraid
Of Fire

In the opinion CT Consul General Skin
ner, Americans have something 70 learn
fIom British India about baling cotton.
The Bombay bale" he writes, is so
convenient in size that one strong man
can easily pick it up and stow it. One
hundred Indian bales can be manipu-
lated in as little time as SO American
bales and with the same labor. The cot
ton is SO compaetly pressed that sharp
blow from a hammer will cause the iron
hoop to burst asQnder, whereas the
American binder must be pried open
with a special tool. The destiny of the
bale minimizes the danger of fire.
"A foreman upon the docks with
whom discussed this question. told me
that lighted match might be thrown
upon an Indian bale without much fear
that the bale itself would be damaged,
and that the workingmen, who are in
the habit of smoking a great deal, were
under no special instructions as regards
sparks and matches when handling
Indian cotton. On the other hand. when
American cotton arrived the most care
ful precautions were necessary to pre-
vent accidents.

The Tinan cial Code.

For what do We live2 We are told
In all seriousness that since wealth
gives social standing, political influ-
ence, consideration and power, Amer
leans live to make money and fail or
succeed as tested by this standard. Is
this true? An eastern contemporary
takes leaf from Poor Richards Al
manac and gives us this version Tor
the later edition.: "Ordinarily great
fortune is built up like q stone wall
stone at time The young man VINO
declines to lay the first stone, because

sorry. An immense proportion OF the
people of this country live up to their
incomes, laying aside nothing for the
traditional rainy day. Because they
cannot save 81, 900 in a bunch they save
nothing the greatest financial kings
of the world have not been above TAX
ing care of the pennies even. The
great financial institutions look AFTER
even the fractions of pennies" 1t is
true, philosophers the Florida Times
Union, that the bricks are laid one by
one along the foundation line, but, GER
tainly wall is thrown upon wall after
the structure is safe and finally Ossa
is piled on Pelion till the summit is

in the afternoon. Is there nothing this
life promises US better than the eree-
ton of this wonderful Chinese wall?
1t is wonderful, We grant, but what
is it good for? The builder has been
cramped AL his life-he has done moth
ing but lift bricks from one level to

COMMERCIAL EXCURSIONS.
Help to Engender a Friendly Feel
ing Among Nations in Com
petition.

Commercial excursions from one
country to another have become popu-
lar in Europe. Last year large party
of English merchants and manufac-
turers mace q tour of France to IN
spect industrial establishments. trade
schools, etc. The visitors were cord1al-
~ received and entertained by the
French authorities and business men,
many of the latter of whom subse-
.quently made a similar visit to Eng
land. About 200 British merchants
contemplate similar excursion to Ger
many next May and June, and the. visit
is viewed with lively satisfaction by
the German merchants wbot are plan
ming to give these trade ambassadors
a cordial reception.
Meetings of this sort, - says Consul
General Guenther. at Frankfort, in a
report on the subject, do much good.
They help to engender friendly feel
ings among competing nations. remove
false conceptions or sectional preju-
1ices. increase business relations and
afford much instruction to the excur-
sionists. It would be well If our Amer
lean manufacturers and exporters
would make excursions TO European
countries. Trips of the kind would af-
ford them vast opportunities for in
forming themselves about foreign mar
kets, and how to increase commercial
relations herewith

Great Irrigation Dam.

An enormous dam is to be built for
irrigation purposes-the Roosevelt dam
in Salt River Valley, gAriz. It will be
one OF the largest in the world, will cost
100000, viii overflow about $50, 0oo
acres of land and supply water power for
hundreds of places throughout the ter
ritory. The practice Of irrigation is very
ancient. water having been stored and
distributed in this Way in Egypt as early
as 2,00o 3. c. Persia, India, Geylon.
China, as well as Peru and Mexico also
had irrigation works ages ago. Even
there in Arizona. not SO far from where

Growth off For7-Ise-in-,

Sociologists in recent years have
been giving us a lot of views and sta
tistics as to the restrictions which
society has placed upon the ordinary
course Of nature, and we have been in
structed time and again that the chief
duty Of man is to multiply and replen-
ish the earth. On the whole, observes
the Philadelphia Inquirer. that seems
to be wnat the race is doing, for every
census in civilized lands indicates that
the population is growing rapidly, due
not only to a general cessation Of wars,
but to the fact that people take better
care Of themselves and live longer. A
statement from the life Insurance COM
panies indicates that the average life
of the insured man is more than 40
years, which indicates that for the
whole race it must be much nearer 40
than the former standard of SO. Large
ly this is due to the fact that more
babies reach maturity.

task OF directing the building of the
great isthmian canal Mr.. Shonts is
president Of the Toledo, st. Louis &
Western railroad, better known as the
Glover Leaf railroad. It is understood
that he made it a condition of accept

in his work, and this was Immediately
consented to by the president. Mr..
Shonts was born in Crawford county.
Pennsylvania, in 1856, and has been
in the railroad business since 1881.
If Theodore Perry Shonts has not
greatly changed in character since ac-
cepting the dictatorship of the great

goods in much less time and at con-
siderably smaller expense to Uncle

in life is due to the fact that he goes
after trouble instead of waiting for it
to come to him. He goes after it and
overcomes it while most men would
be dreading its coming" So said one

Winters Bonds Broken

For several million persons the begin
ming of April marks the expiration OF
a four months term Of imprisonment
They have been shut away, not In soli-
tary confinement or at hard labor. per
hans. but nevertheless they have been
restrained of their liberty. Boating.
swimming, baseball, bicycling, golf, ten
MS. gardening, and a number Of other
things, are among the prohibited diver
sions during this period of i1nprlson-
ment. But now the sentence is served,
our time is up, and we are free again.
The annual term of confinement, says
Youths Companion, is one OF the
penalties of living i'll country where
the winters are cold. It is regarded
as a matter of course; something for
which we are in no way responsible and
from which We can in no way escape.
But after all, it is, like most prison SEN
fences. for our sins. The snow keeps
lis away from our tranps in the woods
because we cannot, or do not, wear foot
gear which will give us mastery of it.
We yield to the cold because we do not
dress properly to combat It; the rain
keeps US prisoners because our habits
Of life make Us fearful Of a wetting.
SO it is our sins. not nature, which con
denim us to .do time for 4 third OF
every year. The release is always JOY
GUS. To be free is ever the greatest hap
piness in the world; and if there is any
time when one ought to take home the
purpose Of all enlightened penology-
that punishment is good only as a
warning and corrective-that time
ought to be the moment when we have
paid the penalty in full, and are free
to begin over again.
