COTTON IN QUEENSLAND.
Two New Varieties Evolved Through
LIBERALIZATION.

Hybridizatiou.
United States Consul Cooling, Of
Newcastle, South Wales, sends q re-
port on two new species of hybrid
cotton in Queensland that should be
of interest in this country, says the
San Francisco Chronicle.
Two new varieties of cotton have
been evolved through hybridization by
DR.. Tomatis, Phi. D., an Italian resid-
ing near Cairns, Queensland, which
promises to revolutionize the growing
of this useful plant. To these varie-
ties DR.. Tomatis has given the names
OF Caravonica 1. and Caravonica II.
Caravonica l. is a cross between a
Iong-stapled cotton of the sea island
variety, grown in Mexico, and the sea
island Of Peru, resulting in peren-
NAL tree cotton, which attains a
height varying from ten to fourteen
feet 1t is planted seven by seven
feet apart, about 900 trees per acre.
A tree six months oldS will bear a
small crop the first season. A single
tree is said to yield from 300 to 500
bolls season. these bolls being so
large that seventy will weigh one
pound, thus producing 200. pounds of
clean-ginned cotton per acre. An Of
fer has been made in England to take
all the cotton produced at 20 cents per
pound on account of its superior quail
ties. Experts have pronounced it the
best cotton yet grown, CHASING it as
wool cotton. Caravonica II. is a silk
cotton and is of even greater value, "a
cents per pound having BEEN offered,
but the yield is not given.

Economy in the Kitchen.


Expensive food materials are ike
articles of adornment-they are very
nice of one can afford them, bet they
are not always economical.
The difference in first cost is not,
after all, so great as that in the prep
aration of the food. Nothing is more
common than for a good piece of meat
to be made tasteless and innutritious
by being cooked too much or too fast.
In this country people generally want
to eat great variety of food, and they
generally have it, but they do not al
Many initiate the ways of cheap res
taurants, or try to cook many things
without taking more time than is need
ed for the proper preparation of one or
two. They demand luxuries, and, be
cause they cannot afford real luXuries,
they put up with limitations that are
both bad and unwholesome.
Such are unable to comprehend that
a dinner that is cheap, simple and
skillfully cooked. is immeasureably
better than a cheap imitation of one,
which, to be good requires many hours
of labor and much diversified skill.
For instance, a good beef stew makes
a satisfying dinner, and may very well
take the place of everything else. An
expert in dining would infinitely prefer
it to a fried steak done brown, soggy
potatoes and turnips, and a quantity
of pie or pudding made with lard or
dripping. Yet the latter dinner would
be preferred by many people, because
it seems to them somehow more re-
spectacle. The stew costs little, is
thoroughly appetizing and is highly
nutritious, that is. if it is well made.
ami it is about as easy to make it well

HOMES FOR 49, PERSONS.
Over 1000 Buildings in Process of Con-
struction in New York.


Greater New York is now enjoying its
greatest building boom. 1t is estimated
that 4,204 buildings are under way at a
cost of 1914, 453,7 rs Most of these
structures are apartment houses and they
will provide homes for $4,000 persons.
The great work accomplished by the
army of builders from Jan. 1 to the
present time, representing, as it does, the
practical output of new homes for the
year, must therefore take care of the
natural increase in the ci.ys population.
This increase has been figured cOnserva-
lively at 10000 persons. In order to
keep pace with this enormous growth in
the population it viii be seen that even
though building records have gone to
smash, the supply of homes can by no
means be in excess Of the demand when
the general moving day of the year ar
rives, some six months hence With the
constant march of the city's vast army
of commercial enterprises northward in
Manhattan it will be apparent that the
supply of new homes must take care not
only of the normal increase in popula-
ton, but of probably an equal or greater
number of persons who were forced by
this commercial movement to the north to
seek homes farther away from the great
business centers. This constant crowd
ing out of the dwellers in the lower part
of Manhattan is growing more and more
aggressive. Each year sees the army of
those dispOssessed by the encroachment
of business enterprises growing in num-

Return of the Eton Coat.

The return of the Eton coat will be
hailed by most women with joy. 1t
is a very near relation of the bolero,
but it is usually characterized by coat
like collar and tiny reyers, also point
ed fronts and plain coat sleeves. A
popular everyday costume of the sum-
mer is the plated skirt and the Elton
to match. 1t is style which is even
more useful that the old coat and
skirt we have loved so long and so
wisely and which even now we shall
not entirely part from, although the
coats are longer and the skirts more
deliberately made.

occasionally. When dry, pin in shape

WON en,s Temners.

l recently saw it stated somewhere
that women are much better tempered
than men. This, Of course, is a self
evident proposition up to a certain
point. Women, as a rule, are more
self-possessed and have a greater con
troll over themselves than men, who
want everything their own way, resent
all trouble, cannot endure the smallest
discomfort and are rarely unselfish.
But in justice to men it must be said
that, generally speaking, they have
very much more to try their nerves.

WOMEN ESCAPE YELLOW JACK.
New Orleans Epidemic Has Tendency
20 Catch Men.


The New Orleans doctors have reached
the conclusion that the Italians are more
liable to yellow fever than any other
race and have it in a more violent form,
and that the high mortality among them
is due to that fact as much as to their
mode of life. On the other hand, the
returns prove clearly that women are
comparatively safe, the deaths from yell
low fever being five times as great among
males as among females, although there
is . large female majority in New Or
leans.
The difference is due to the fact that
the men, for business and other reasons,
are compelled to go about more, and
therefore run greater risk of being Bit
ten by the infected mosquitoes. The
women who remain at home avoid the
risk, especially in the uptown residential
sections, where there are few, if any,
infected mosquitoes.
