The crop estimating board OF tbs
department OF agriculture has consid-
cred the report issued by the bureau
OF statistics on June 2, relative to the
acreage planted in cotton In the
southern States in 1905, as compared
With that planted in 1904, and has
concluded:
First. That new estimate should
be made on acresge planted, and that
che figures in Mr.. Hyde's hands when
making his estimate should be used as
the basis.
Second. That Mr.. Hyde with Mr..
Holmes at his elbow, prompting him
Gade the estimate lower than the
facts at his hand from the reports
from the seven classes OF reporters
employed by the bureau warranted.
Third. The board fnds, upon care
iul consideration Of the reports OF all
classes OF correspondents aud agents,
that the acreage planted in cotton
5his year, including the entire season,
should have been estimated at 85.l
per cent. OF that planted last year,
equivalent to a reduction In planted
acreage as compared with last year Of
14e per cent. (instead OF 11.4) or
4,73l,0 900 acres, the estimate of the
total acreage planted this year being
26, s99, 900 acres.
The estimated percentage OF the
decrease in each OF the cotton grow:
ing States is as follows: Virginia, 18;
North Carolina, 16; South Carolina,
IA; Georgia, IA; Florida, IL; Alabama,
II; Mississippi, 16; Louisiana, IL;
Texas, Is; Arkansas, 10; Tennessee,
13; Missouri, Is; Oklahoma, Is; In.
dian Territory, II.
The averages were made for each
State by each of the four members Of
che board, and the comparatively
small d!sagreements we're harmonized
almost wholly by averaging, and the
above results are fully agreed to by
each and every member OF the board.

More Laughter. Less Suicide.

The physiological benefits Of laugh
ter can not be overestimated. It
shakes up the diaphragm, sets the
pulses beating to a lively measure,
stimulates the blood corpuscles, en-
livens the brain. and sometimes pro-
duces dislocation Of the jaw when in
dulged in too heartily by a man with
a large mouth. Used with discretion
laughter is as inspiring as a sea
breeze, as refreshing as an August
shower. It's moral effect Is beyond
computation. 1t has killed more ridic-
ulous superstitions by its rollicking
roars of unbelief than any other
agency, says the Literary Era. What
can be more deristve tlan a laugh?
The man who laughs never kills him
self. That is the reason so few Irish
men commit suicide.

Even Family Secrets!

The inQuisitorial proceedings of in
come-tax collectors in Austria are a
source Of great annoyance to self-re-
specting citizens. They pry into every
family secret, however delicate. But
now they do even more than that.
They attempt to check the income Of
a man by finding out what is sent him
by rail. The inspector of taxes at
Myslenice, in order to give the screw
another turn, has applied to the rail-
way managers for permission to send
an official to Makow station for a GER
tain time in order to examine all par
cells sent there Or thence, and find out
to whom or from whom they have
been sent. OF course the purpose Of
such a demand is clear. Proof is re-
quired that certain persons spend
more, and therefore have a greater in
come than they have declared, thus
ignoring the fact that a man may pos
sibly live beyond his income. At the
same time it must be confessed that
there is a great difficulty in getting
people to give truthful declarations.

SEEK TO DEVELOP THE YAuTIA.

ance to Porto Rico.

ance to Porto Rico
Efforts are being made in Porte
Rico to develop a new vegetable OF
economic and commercial Importance,
1t is called the "yautia,' and is nearly
related to the taro-the plant that fur.
nishes SO valuable a food to the ma
tives of Polynesia, and which, under
the name of elephant ear" is famil-
iarly known as an ornament in our
own gardens.
Yaptia was we'll known to the ma
tiyeS OF the West Indies long before
the landing of Columbus and was
cultivated by the Caribs when the
Spaniards first arrived. Its starchy,
tuberous root, which is the part that
is good to eat, looks somewhat like a
sweet potato, and is six or eight
inches long, with a diameter Of a
couple Of inches. When cut into
pieces and boiled it resembles a boil.
ed white potato in appearance.
The people of Porto Rico use the
root as a substitute for the potato,
usually boiled, though there are sew.
eral other ways Of preparing it for
the table. It costs n and a half to
two cents a pound-twice the price
of taro root, which itself is used as
a food throughout the West Indies.
The plant has long, spearshaped
leaves, instead of the broad Il re.
sembling elephant ears, which dis
tinguish the taro.
There are about twenty-five varie.
ties of the yautia. 1t takes a very
long season to mature the plant
which would not produce a plant in
the United States unless 1t might be
in the south of Florida and along the
gulf coast.-New York Herald.

A Kansas Sunset.

It is the sunset hour, and floods of light
Pour their full radiance DER the west

Giving the clouds a glory new and bright
OF crimson. robes and zones of Tyriar

Is hushed in slumber solemn anG

AS the last moments of departing day
Drop slowly, gently from the hand OF

Now fades the brightness, and the vel

Enshrouds the splendor Of the rosy
West;
While all the stars upon their thrones OF
light
Glitter like jewels in a monarch's crest.
The brightness fades, and yet a lingering

With shining finger touches yondel
heights
And links with gold the passing day,
And the still beauty Of the coming
night.

At this juncture the bondmaiden
arose from her seat and moved for
ward. Her dark eyes sparkled with
peculiar fire, and her fair brow worked
as though the balm were revolving
mighty thoughts.
Dear lady," she said, addressing
her mistress, there is but one way in
which We can render the assurance
which this man seeks"
Speak, Abba" said Ulin, betraying
a suddenness Of emotion which told
very plainly how her desire ran.
"Not now, my mistress" returned
the girl. "I must have time: If this
man can come to our garden two hours
past midnight, l can tell him more"
"Is there help?" asked H%obaddan,

there is help, it is to be found only
in one quarter. I will look for it
there; and. at the time l have men
toned, you shall know the result. 1
will look for it if my lady is willing"
"And l am pardoned for my intru-
sion?" said Hobaddan.
Yes" returned Ulin. She would
have said more, but Abba was al
ready at the door, and the robber had
turned to follow her.

The Dark Hour.

"It seemed like a dream to Ulin.
She closed her eyes-and opened them
and arcse-and walked across the
chamber-simply to assure herself
that she was awake. Was it possible
that a member of the robber band had
been to see her-had been within her
chamber-had come, and had gone? A
friend and companion of Julian's
seeking her for aid in behalf Of the
c~hieftain? She was trying to make
it appear real, when her bondmaiden
returned.
The door was closed, and Abba re-
marked, as she took a seat:
HE will be in the garden two hours
past midnight, my lady; and if we
car help him, we must do u work as
speedily as possible.
Help" repeated Ulin, gazing into
her attendants face. "How can We
help Julian?'
"The thing may be possible" replied
Abba. in a thoughtful mood. "If you
would serve him, + think a way can
be opened to the accomplishment"
The princess reflected a few mo-
ments, and then said:
IF the man who was here spoke
the truth, it may become my duty to
help him; and certainly his story
seemed plausible. / can very easily
see how the powerful robber band,
moved to desperation by the death of
their beloved leader. might wreak
most terrible vengeance upon this
city; and surely, if We can be the
means of averting so dire a calamity,
it is our duty SO to do"
Il think it u.s." added Abba.
But continued Ulin, "if Julian is
in the power of the king, he must be
in one of the strongest dungeons; and
a strict guard must be kept over him.
How can we reach him."
II can think of but one way" re-
turned the bondmaiden, laying down
the plan with her finger as she pro-
ceeded. "Osmir and Selim had a hand
in capturing the young chieftain; and
it is not impossible that they may
have a hand in guarding him. l judge
so from the fact that the capture of
the robber has not yet become gen.
orally known in the city, which would
certainly have been the case if the
kings officers had known it. Now we
have some claim upon the gratitude OF
this Osmir, and I think he is, by ma
ture, grateful enough to repay us. He
is the man whom we found faint and
dying upon the shore Of the lake, and
who must have died If we had not
nursed him. You remember the cir
cumstance?"
"He had almost been killed by some
slaves of Aleppo," explained Abba.

The Way 1t Grows Out West

One of u readers whose veracity
Is above question tells the following:
The terrible news m from tho
western part of the Cherokee nation
that a boy climbed a cornstalk to see
how the corn was getting along, and
now the corn is growing up faster than
the boy can climb down. The boy Is
clear out of sight. Three men have
undertaken to cut to tsalk down with
axes, but it grows so fast that they
can't hack twice in the same place.
The boy is living on nothing but raw
corn, and already has thrown down
four bushels of cobs.
