hastening to bid farewell. It Is ofte, this remnant of vital force which. when intelligently directed by suggestion, snf- fees to arouse into activity some or gan which for a long time has been hopelessly dormant but which. when aroused enables the patients internal or ganism once more to resume it's normal action and draw him back from the very jaws of death.
 Some of the conclusions which may be drawn from the facts mentioned in the above articles are:
 That the vital force which heals a pa- tient is within the patient himself.
 That the vital force is generated within the patient himself by the digestion and asimilation of food.
 That the amount of vital force generat- ed depends on the quality and quantity of food introduced into the stomach.
 That anything which will interfere with the necessary supply of propertly selected food, or the digestion and assimilation of food after it has been received by the stomach will interfere with the genera tion of the vital healing power.
 That the digestion may be retarded or completely stopped by certain mental states.
 That the food supply should be regu- lated by a correct knowledge of the re- quirements of the body.
 That knowledge is stored, in the mind, and that mind is created and influenced entirely by suggestion
 That the creation, expenditure and con- trol of vital healing force are directly or indirectly dependent upon suggestion.
 That If one would intellgently direct this healing force he must have torough knowledge of the effects of sug- gestion. He must understand the sim pie means for ascertaining the individual ity and suggestibilty of his patient, so that he may determine in advance the mental and physical effect any given sug- gestion is likely to produce.

ably be successfully grown on a large scale in several localities.
 Placed conveniently in one large frame are the products of the cotton ing laid down. The older-established countries are also represented, even Peru, but the Argentine representive is a notable absentee, though neigh boring map shows that the commodity is already being produced in that re- public.
 In the frame can be seen at glance what is wanted. It is the long fibre, the fine silky lint; and here we see the great advantage possessed by United States sea island and the Egyptian. They lead their rivals dis tinctly. The sea island specimens average inches in length, the Egypt ian 1s, while others range between F. inch and 1 F inches.
 One of the most instructive object lessons of the whole exhibition is that of the use of the waste materials dis carded during the process of manufac- turing the cotton. Samples of waste are shown from the scutching ma chimes, carding engines, spinning ma chimes, rowing frames, looms and the like, and there are even dirty looking floor sweepings. The last are used for spinning cross yarns. The cleaner machine waste is used for blending and spinning with wool in the manu- facture of artificial silk. The other specimens of waste are used in the manufacture of wadding. of paper, of explosives and for various .Aer pur- poses.

An Exhibition of Results Obtained In 4Na British Colonies.

Iondon.-At the Imperial Institute there is an exhibition just now whose purpose is to show the results obtained so far in the experiments in growing cotton which are in progress in yarl- .ous parts of the British kingdom.
 It does not appear that very great practical advance has been made yet, but. as Prof. Wyndam Dunstan ex- plains, several years of careful experl- ment must elapse before a country new to cotton cultivation can become a successful and permanent contrib tor to the supply of the raw material. Broadly speaking, the exhibition 1ndl- cates that the experiments for the re- vi al of cotton cultivation in the West Indies give promise of success, while some advance appears to have been made in various other directions.
 The most valuable of all conner rial cottons, the sea island product, which derived it's name from the West Indies. but was allowed to die out when it was introduced into the United States. may be expected to become a feature in reviving the dropping for tunes of the Caribbean islands, and in india the chief problem is the cultiva- tioa of a finer staple, suitable to the needs of the manufacturer.
 In the course of time 1t is expected that India will become the principal contributor of raw cotton to Great Britain, although at present it is out classed, in quality at least, by the Egyptian product. The experiments carried on in the Soudan suggest that it will soon take important rank as a producer. Egyptian cotton presents certain features which render it more valuable to the manufacturer than the ordinary product of the southern states.
 In West and East Africa the condi- tions of successful cotton cultivation are being ascertained by carefully planned experiments, which are neces- sarily slow; but, as in other parts of the empire. the recent tests show that cotton q the Egyptian type will prob

stand up in the world and be well
behaving stories without a back

mention is that while tho topic
called for true stories, Juniors
very own, some Of them were
not only imaginary but unmis-
takably borrowed. Still other
Juniors had a mistaken idea Of
what "amusing' means, describ-
