Sni,,ers In History.

Spiders have played greater part
In history than most people are aware
nf. Everybody knows how the perse-
verance of spider encouraged Robert
Bruce to regain his kingdom of Scot
land but not so many know that, ac-
cording to Jewish tradition, a spider
saved David's life. Saul was hunting
for him, and his soldiers approached
cave where David was hidden. Short
ly before, however, a spider had spun
her web at the mouth of the cave, and
the soldiers, taking it for granted that
If he had taken refuge in the cave he
must have broken the web, departed,
forgetting the web might have been
spun after as well as before his en-
trance.
Frederick William was king of Prus
sia, and an attempt was made to poi
son him with cup Of chocolate. By
chance spider fell into the cup, and
for this reason the monarch gave the
chocolate to a dog, who Immediately
died. Inquiry was made, with the re-
suit that the cook was hanged, and a
large spider wrought in gold now
decorates one of the chief rooms of the
Winter palace at Potsdam in memory
Of the kings escape.

NOTES ON COTTON GROWING.

About 10000 bales of cotton is this
years crop Of the Laguna section of
Mexico. The Mexican mills will also
require an additional $4,000 bales
from the United States during 1906.
The British charge in Guatemala
has forwarded to London q sample OF
weevil-resisting cotton grown in the
Retalhulen district of western Guate-
mala. It is called "Pachon," is q
short-season cotton, productive and
with fiber of good length and tex
ture.
The Turkish minister of agriculture
is about to buy 1900 pounds Of Amer
lean and Egyptian cotton seed for the
improvement Of the quality of cotton
raised in Turkey. The seed will be
distributed in the provinces of Adana,
Adm and Salonika, according to the
Levant Herald.
The exports of raw cotton from
southern Nigeria in 1905 declined to
96,3O6 pounds, having been 285, 639
pounds in 1904. This falling OF is ex-
pected to adjust itself during the pres
ent year, when the new plantations
will commence to yield, states the
Government Gazette Of the Nigeria
protectorate. It has also been re-
ported that there was some cotton
to be shipped from northern Nigeria.
