GROWING COTTON ON TREES


FROM the Now YORK Mall
Every little while some English col
onial planter or Manchester spinner
makes discovery which he pro-
claim as q means of making British
cotton mills independent Of the Uni
ted States supply. A few years ago
Africa was relied upon to produce
cotton enough TO put our Southern
states entirely out of commission as
the puyuyors Of cotton for the spin
ners of the world; but It turned out
that the African cotton was yellow

that hope had to be given up. But

cordng to its assumed discoycrer,
produces fine, white, long-stapled,
very superior cotton. As the tree
bears cotton daily after being plant
ed only six months, aud is perennial,
aud as $500 trees may be planted
to the aero, it is claimed that it will
easily produce 400 to 5000 pounds
or cotton TO the acre a year,

Too Much "Funny Du.,ne..."

A well-known Kentuckian tells of a marriage ceremony that justice of the peace in the Blue Grass State was hurriedly called upon one day to per form.
 It appears that the bridegroom, a big mOuntaineer very roughly dressed, had brought his prospective bride with him to the once of the clerk of the court, thinking to secure his license and have the ceremony performed at one visit. When his license had been duiy grantd the mOuntaineer asked if there was q justice of the peace then in the court house who could tie the knot. Upon being advised by the clerk that he himself was justice of the peace, and that he was willing to join the two lovers, the bridegroom said:
 Wall, then, we're ready go ahead !"
 "But you'll have to secure two wit nesses,' smilingly observed the clerk and justice, before can proceed"
 At this the mountainer demurrcd, saying that he did not care for witness es. Nevertheless, he was convinced in moment that this forma.ty was an indispensable one, and accordingly the necessary witnesses were procured and the ceremony began. When the cou- pie had promised to love, obey, etc, together with the rest of the service, the justice of the peace quite innocent ly observed that the bridegroom should "kiss the bride"
 Thereupon the mountaineer exhibited fresh impatience at the exactions of the official. Look here" he exclaimed, angrily, "t seems to me that you're draggin' in lot of funny business in this weddin'. Why, kissed her before we came in "-Success Magazine.

Misplaced Politeness.

The Barrow family possessed a dog named Growler. If addressed politely GrOwler instantly obeyed all reason able commands, but if spoken to cross y, the sensitive dog crept under the sofa and sulked. At such times as she wished to be alone it was Mrs. BarrOw's habit to hold the door open and remark cOurteously to the discriminating ami nal, "Please go out, my dear" And Growler, wagging cheerful tail, all ways went.
 One evening, while Mrs. Barrow sat reading by her evening lamp, large June bug entered the room, and be- haved as June bugs usually do. The absent-minded lady, conscious of the disturbance without fully realizing what caused it, rose abstractedly, po- litely opened the door, and to the great delight of the family, murmured gently:
 "Please go out, my dear"

PERIL IN COLLEGE TRAINING.
Medical Authority Points Out the
 Dangers to American Youth.

It is wrong to put any one in train- ing at any time, to create physiOlOgic cardiac enlargement which remains a plague him in afterlife, but to place the growing boy under this regimen is nothing short of criminal. No college sort should require training" no mat ter how much practice is needed, and no game should single out a few very abnormal men. Sports are necessary parts of youthful life, the essentials of child's education, indeed, and every one must take part in them to educate the nerves, not to deaden them.
 Games are normal only when they cultivate perceptions to accuracy and quickness, but never should they put the tissues to their maximum allow able strain. The only use of the pres ent game seems to be to afford re- taxation to those in the grand stand pale-faced boys who should be at some game themselves instead of roofing for the beef of the college. The gam bling and commercialism do not con- cern the medical side of the matter, but are features having distinctly pernicious psychologist effect upon boys at the very age they can be most in- jured. We hope that these dreadful Harvard revelations will be the final argument to convince educators and college faculties that they must wake up to their duty to regulate sport.
 Play of animals and children is real ly means of educating or exercising other parts of the nervous system than the mere memory, which seems to be the main thing drilled in our college youths. If some play is beneficial and there does not seem to be any doubt on that point-then 1t must be utilized and encouraged for every stu dent and not so utterly ignored and al- lowed to degenerate to a form which Is njurious.-American Medicine.

He WaA UIt.O

The valor of the individual does not depend on the size. The scrap of hu- manity mentioned in the newspaper was not to be judged by scale of inches.
 The small boy was dressed in foot ball costume, and with jaunty air he walked into the office of a country newspaper and handed to the editor a dirty scrap of paper. On it was brief account of juvenile football match which had taken place that afternon.
 Glancing at the report, the editorial eye. caught the words:
 "ManningtOn kicked magnificent goal--the finest ever seen on the ground"
 "Who is Mannington" asked the editor. The human atom turned the thumb of his right hand proudly to his breast. "I am Mannington!" he said, calm- ly.

Rooms Named for States.

"In little town in the backwOOds of Mississippi" remarked travelling man, "there is peculiar hotel. It is just like any other hotel except in the way the rooms are named. They are not numbered, as is generally done, but each room is named for State of the United States. When I stopped at the place I was assigned to a room called Delaware It was correctly named, too, for it was one of the smallest rooms in the house. The man who was occupying New Hampshire made com plaint to the landlord that the man in Maine was drunk and boisterous and thus keeping him awake. This seemed strange when we recall that Maine is a prohibition State. Two men up in Montana were keeping up the repu- tatiOn of the wild West by engaging in a niosy poker game. A big, fat capi- talist had New York;, which was the best room in the house. The room named for Alabama is too ordinary for anything, and a farmer was occupying it the night I was there. It was funny to stand in, the office and hear bell boy, tell the clerk that towels were wanted in Iowa, and that the fellow in North Dakota was kicking like a steer because he had no fire. Be sure to call the man in Florida" at 5 o'clock in the morning, said one of the employes. And thus 1t went. This hotel is a curiosity to the travelling public. It issconducted by an eccentric old fellow, but where he conceived the idea ofsnSmingNfoems after States I tie not now."-Birmingham Age-Herald

Sage Charity.

"Once upon time there lived good man of New York, who was soliciting contributions for the erection of an orphan asylum" said the stOry-teller. "He had been to many rich people and received liberal contributions, which were entered in book he had for that purpose. Among these many names there appeared, Mrs. Russell Sage $25.' The good man went to Mr. Sages office, and showing him the contribu- tiOn entered in the book by Mrs. Sage asked if he would not give like sum. And what do you suppose he did?"
 "Well, suppose he at least doubled it." remarked listener.
 Doubled it! Not Russell" !" ex- claimed the teller of the story. "Why, he simply took his pen and wrote Mr. and before his wifes name, and hand ed the book back to the good man."- Harper's Weekly. a.,e

FOOD AND LAND WASTED.
More Cooked than Ia Needed
 HOusehOld Leaks.


 A young Irish woman, who had been raised in convent in England, was by reverses thrown upon her own re- sources, and after some years of do- nestle service there, came to America, where she followed the same calling, says Cent Per Cent. She was occupy ing position of some dignity and re- spOnsibility and business relations re- vealed the fact that she was woman of unusual observation and intelligence i; so, in the course of conversation she was asked what struck her most force fully in this country and she at once replied: '"The awful waste, both of land untitled and of food. Everybody" said she cooks more than is needed. There is as much left over as is eaten and it goes to the garbage pile" When the Great Teacher fed the multitude He said: Gather up the fragments, that nothing be lost" and they gather ed basketfuls.
 And there is waste in buying that which is not actually needed. To buy even at low price thing you cannot use with profit is paying a dear price for your whistle, said Franklin. A bar gain counter, secondhand store and an auction room, unless one is in real need of some certain article, are places to be avoided. Ninety per cent of their patrons are victims of the TOodles hab- it, buying things they do not need be- cause they are cheap. And only less pathetic than this is the habit of buy ing things one does need on the credit system or installment plan, willingly coming under the bane of debt and pay ing two or three prices for an article which is frequently worn out before it is settled for.
 The wise householder, profiting by these hints, how to stop the leaks, will soon have an accommodating surplus on his hands, for prudent investment, and before he realizes it will be the recip- tent of dividends, thus supplementing his salary or regular earnings; follow ed by content and peace of mind which no man knows who, sluggard- like, approaches old age with no pro- vision made for dark hours and noTt productive years.
