It Is no mere byperbole which des- ignates cotton as king. It certainly divides honors with corn as the great American crop. In the value of ex- ports cotton greatly surpasses corn and wheat and 1t easily stands at the head of all the commodities which the out side world purchases from the United States A failure of the American cotton crop would bring greater dis tress upon the thousands of mill hands in England. where 1t Is manufactured than 1t would even in New England or Philadelphia, where textile indus tries are so enormous. Nearly all the civilized people of the earth wear American cotton. Hence. If the rest of mankind outside the borders of this republic were to vote upon the subject cotton would easily win the crown. Europe could get along without our wheat and corn and tobacco, but 1t would be fearfully plnched If 1t were deprived of cotton.

WORK OF LORD LISTER.
Changed Surgery by Discovery of
 AntisepIic system.

Changed Surgery by Discovery of
 Antiseptic system.
 It has been aptly said that the his- tory of surgery can be conveniently divided Into two periods, "before Lis. ter' and after Lister" It would be impossible to oyerestimate what Lord Listers work has done for suffering humanity in the discovery of the anti. septic system treatment of wounds and everything coming in contact with the same. It has practically abolished the horrors of the hospital ward, where, before It's discovery there were con stant dangers of gangrene and other diseases due to germs getting into wounds, before or after operation, and causing putrefaction of the injured member.
 Lord Joseph Lister was born in Es- sex, England, In 1897. His eightieth birthday was celebrated last week. His father had taken a keen interest In science and done much In improving the microscope. AS a young man, Lis ter possessed two valuable assets, a first class microscope and an unbound ed enthusiasm for scientific inyestiga- tion. It was therefore natural that he should turn his attention to such branches of histology and physiology as were within his reach. His first re searches were In the fiber of involun- tary muscles the skin, the flow of lac teal fluid and kindred subjects. Early In his life he became interested in wounds and the diseases that frequent ly go with them. He even sketched bodies that he thought might be mi

Sunshine of Praise.

If you see anything that Is worthy of praise, speak of It. Even If you can not do worthy deed yourself, con- mend one who does. Praise Is pow CT for good; both God and man prize 1t. No prayer is complete without praise. The best worker for his fellows who fails to give praise falls of doing as well as he can. Mrs. Stowe states the truth effectively when she says |: Praise is sunshine; 1t warns, It in- spires, 1t promotes growth; blame and rebuke rain and hail; they beat down and bedraggle, even though they may at times be necessary" Do we do our part In giving praise?-Sunday School Times.

Sunshine and Music.

A laugh is just like sunshine;
 It ffeshens all the day, It tips the peak of life with light, And drives the clouds away. The soul grows glad that hears 1t, And feels its courage strong; A laugh Is just like sunshine
 For cheering folks along. A laugh is just like music;
 It fingers in the heart, And where Its melody is heard, The ills of life depart; And happy thoughts come crowding Its joyful notes to greet; A laugh is just like music,
 For making living sweet. Christian Work.
