Exotic Cotton Industry.
In the course OF an address at
Manchester on Great Britain's I'm
dustrlal development, Lloyd George.
president OF the British Board OF
Trade, had the following to say on
the predominance OF Lancashire in
the manufacture of cotton goods;
well. now, II is really very as
tonishing what Lancashire has done
In cotton. Here you have got TO
carry your material thousands Of
miles across the ocean and you beat
the world. There are two or three
figures / should like to quote here
because they are very remarkable.
They are figures full OF romance. II
is a great story-a story of British
grit, OF British brains, of British
courage, and IL is something-after
all. we must not be too MODESTO
be proud OF. Here we have the
United States of America growing its
own cotton and selling to the world
last year R11,OOO.O00 (s-$4.s6)
worth of fabrics. Here in Lanca-
shire, which has to get It's cotton
from America. and. am very glad
to say, now getting its cotton from
the British Empire in growing guam
titles and in improving qualities, has
gone up to R1O0.OOO.0OO. and you
are going to exceed that this year.
In five years you put something like
f27 100000 into the cotton business
of Great Britain. The United States
of America has put In something like
Ga, 100000, and Germany has put in
Sc, 100000. and we expect three
times as much as both of them palt
together. So let us eat, drink and
be merry At any rate, IL every
country in Britain looks after its
business as well as you are fighting
your own corner here in the great
battle of British commerce, and
fights for its own, there is nothing
10 fear, and the only thing you can
say is. What Lancashire is today let
England be tomorrow. and all will
be we'll"

an hour In the early morning. The
town may get dry by noon, but at o
n. m. Il struck me as a large, moist
city. with an unmistakable odor or
damp and mildew. That was hlgh
up on the hill. Down near the river
and the railroads, of course, there
is the coal-town smell, the mill
smell, the common tMnk-line In
cense. New York Is n smell town

dominating, until lately. Now the
subway is upheaying what may ne
called an Appalachian range of odor

Curiously enough, Chlcago's odori-
ferrous announcement is of another
type entirely. 1t is not shoppy, 1t Is
not the factory and fruity fragrance

warehousy and Louisiana molasses

Nevada's Mineral output in 1900.
AS a producer of the precious
metals Nevada occupies a high place
among the states and territories of
the Union. In value of gold product
the State is outranked only by Colo
RADIO, Alaska and California, while
its silver output gives It fifth place,
Colorado, Montana, Utah and Idaho
talking precedence.
In 1905, according to statistics
COLLECTED by the United States Geo
logical Survey from the producing
mining companies, Nevada mines
yielded s1O,47O,7O4 in gold, an In
crease of s5,2OO,Ss5 over 1905. The
Unexpectedly heavy output of tho
Goldfeld mines was $7,026,154, an
increase of over $5,O0O,0O0 over the
preceding year. The Tonopah dis
triot, in Nye county, produced ST.
'304,677 in gold, an amount not ma
terially different from 1905. Lin
coin county furnished In the
Searchlight and De Lamar (Fergu-
SOM districts an almost equal guam
tity OF gold. Elko and Storey are
the only remaining counties whose
oMtput exceeded $1,000,000. Elko,
in the northeastern portion of the
State, yielded a considerable amount
of siliceous ore from several districts
near or north of Tuscarora. The
Comstock output was diminished TO
almost 100000. The product is
obtained almost wholly from sill
ceous ores of high average grade.
The placers contribute value of
only about $4,000. An increase IN
the product of gold in Nevada for
1907 seems probable.
The silver output was 6.770,611
ounces, an increase OF 2SS,530
ounces, which is pretty evenly distrl-
buted over all the counties, the dis
trlbution corresponding to the gem
eral increase in mining activity.
Only the Comstock mines in Storey
county and White Pine county show
n decline. The Fairvlew district
changes the Insignificant output OF
Churchill county (including Doug
las) to nearly 100000 ounces. The
Tonopah district is still the principal
producer. with 5.697,92S ounces.
OF the total output 6.5O0,000 ounces
were derived from slliceons ores.
The remainder came chiefly from
lead ores.

eral Resources OF the United States
Calendar Year 1906" Waldemar
geologlst or the United
States Geological Survey. reports in
detail on the production OF gold and
silver in the United States in 1906.

Scientific conaresses.

That there are too many scientific
congresses is the complaint of a writer
In the Revue Scientifique. While iso-
iation is a bad thing for the man of
s~cience, and while it is essential to his
usefulness and reputation that he
should at times compare notes with
his colleagues, much time, labor. and
money is wasted by the multiplicity
OF these assemblies. A concrete ex-
ample of the incidental abuses is fur
nished by the same periodical. in it's
report of the Medical Congress at Lis.
bon. One of the chief wills was the
diversity of language, although the
use of Portuguese was not permitted
In the discussions. The reports were
distributed SO tardily that members of
the congress had no time in which to
prepare themselves to speak. There
were too many reports relating to the
same subject, which gave rise to tire
some repetitions. Much time was lost
in attending fetes and other entertain
ments. Moreover, a number of emf
nent men failed to appear personally
and their papers were read for them
by others. Yet the desire of attend
ing congresses is keen, emarks the
New York Post, and it would be cruel
20 deprive the speakers of opportuni-
ties to be heard, or to prevent their
hearers from manifesting the Chris
tian graces of patience and long sui.

FOWLS THO LICE.
Don't Give Vermin a FoothoId and
Your Task Will Be Easy.

Last summer the editor of the.
Farmers Review visited the Maine
experiment station. That station has
done a great deal in the way of poul-
try investigation. Conditions there
are of the very best, with the result
that the enterprise is successful. One
of the surprising things found there
is that there are no lice. Conse-
quently no lice killers have to be
used; the chicks do not have to be
creased after they are out of the
shell; the birds do not have to be fed
enough food to supply both them
selves and the lice, and the perches
do not have to be painted with anti
ice paint. All this expense and all
this labor are saved.
1t is a wonder that consid ering the
great losses we experience from lice
we do not take more precautions to
entirely rid the poultry houses of
them. A few years ago the Farmers.
review sent III inquiries to MANY
poultry raisers as to the cause of their
greatest losses. Most of the replies
SAID hat the greatest losses were
due to lice. 1t may be that to lice
are due far greater losses than we
have suspected.
We know very little about how con
tagious diseases are carried from fowl
to fowl. 1t may be that the lice do
more of this york than any other me-
dunn. 1t may be that a louise draws
infected blood from one fowl ana.
from 1T infects the next fowl on
which he happens to be.
There is an impression abroad tba+
there is little poultry disease where
there are no lice n no dirt. 1t is a
good thing to assume this at anv
rate. 1t may be an error, but if il is
the error is on the part of virtue.
Prof. Charles Wood, in cbarsa
OF the Maine station, was asked b,
the writer how he could keen HE
fowls free from lice. He replied that
IL was an easy thing to do. He start
ed with perfectly clean pens ana
yards. He used i%ncubators that had
never been used before, and he mn
into those incubators eggs hat ba5
no lice on them. The chicks batcbad
a no lice, n no fowls are mn

There has to be a beginning for ~

70 prevent the beginning. This is
not a difficult thing to do.

Good in Wedding Presents.

hoMe was in a tenement. She had
grown weary and discouraged, and she
fancied that her husband had ceased
to love her, and was pouring out his
devotion at the feet of a bright young
girl, his visiting cousin. The wife
grew pale and sallow, her hair hung
in struggling locks or was knotted IN.
becomingly at the back of her head
and her dresses were soiled and torn
One day, when she was peculiarly de.
pressed, she made a brave effort.
arranged her hair in the old, charming
fashion, and put on a clean frock and
a bright ribbon. From that moment
the tide turned. Her husband had
been loyal, but he had missed some
thing; when his wife again looked
her best his dormant pride in her
came quickly to the surface. What
ever circumstances may be, we WON.
en- at home cannot let ourselves go
nor can we afford to fall below our
standards. Wedding presents are val
liable, first because they testify in a
tangible way that we are worth some
thing to our friends, and next be-
cause they furnish an ideal toward
which we may reach out in our en-.
deavor to make home life beautiful,
chaste and delightful.
From the moment that we stop car
ing how things look, from the mo.
ment that it seems of no
whether we are clean or dirty, com
Portable or the reverse, whether things
about us are kept up or neglected, the
quality of our home making is de
c1ded. If we would have our homes
radiant backgrounds to which we turn
longing eyes in absence and which are
full of cheer and warmth in our pres
ence, we must have an y to small
details as well as to the general re-
suits. In a word, we must try to
live up to the wedding presents. We
would better add a little to our daily
care and keep our beautiful bric-a-brac
and u costly silver in sight than
pack it all away, live in a scrambling
fashion and leave our possessions as
heirlooms and curios for our descend
ants.

STYLES IN SCHOOL WRAPS.
Striped Tweeds Will Be Largely Worn
This Winter.

Striped tweeds bid fair to be very
popular for knockabout or school
wraps of the ulster variety for high
school girls and college students
wear. These coats are especially use
full at this time of year, when weather
conditions require a thin frock in the
house, yet demand a protection on the
street.
Exceedingly smart is an imported
coat designed for a girl of 16, in
stripes of natural tones cut in plain
box lines and full length. The back
is perfectly plain, put in the front be-
gins a stole effect at the neck, which
gradually widens, rounding off Just be-
low the waist line until it reaches the
under arm seam, where the edges are
taken in with the back. Tailor stitch
ing decorates the edges of this stole.
and at a convenient point pockets are
sewn in, though there is not the slight
est evidence of these, the hand just
slipping through the Sits. The sleeves
are a medium mandolin shape, with
a bias Swapping Town the upper part
of the sleeve, or rather two strappings
arranged close together, and in this
way forming points with the stripe.
An u%p-to-date hood displays itself over
the shoulders and a rolling collar of
the goods completes This stylish, prac-
tical coat, which. save for tailor stitch.
