The origin Of Egyptian civilization
has been the enigma of the world for
the past twenty-five centuries. Pre-

fancy, 1t appears before the world at
once as a highly civilized and organic

its matchless magnifcence, without IA

Would not an explanation at least feast

Genesis of Cotton In America.

The first planting Of cotton seed in
the colonies was in the Carolinas in the
year 1921, when seeds were planted as
an experiment in a garden. Winthrop
says that in K43 men fell to the
manufacture Of cotton, whereof we
have great stores from Barbados" In
1875 it was cultivated In the gardens
along Chesapeake bay, especially in the
vicinity Of Baltimore, and at the open
ing Of the Revolution it was garden
plant in New Jersey and New York,
but its real value seems to have been
almost unknown to the planters until
about 1850.

Made Him Famous.

A. NJ. Palmer, the famous theatrical
manager, once told story which illus
trated the reason for Mansfeld's sue
cess on the stage. Mansfield before he
was known to fame was cast for a
part in Baron Chevrial," a part SC
small that other actors refused to play
it. The night Of the first performance
Mansfield made the hit of the produc-
ton owing to the realistic manner in
which he simulated death from paraly-
sis. 1t afterward transpired that he
had employed n physician TO coach him
in portraying the effects of a paralyric
stroke.

DUBLIN, April 27.-Kichard Croker has

ing papers that the most promising Of his
string had wintered badly and that the
prospects of his stable for the coming
season were gloomy. Mr.. Croker thinks
these fictions may have been spread with
the object of discrediting him as a straight
sportsman should his horses win.
The mare Rhodora. which was seen to
advantage as q two-year-old. Is said to
have come through the winter in good

Lyme Secured for the Season. ::
Mr.. Croker has secured first claim on
Lucien Lyme for the racing season. Mr..
Lyme has already been over to the sta

Asked about the story to the effect
that there had been an encounter between
himself and Jem Roche. the prizedghter.
after the encounter st. Patrick's night,
when Tommy Burns so easily whipped the
Irishman. Mr.. Croker said nothing of the
kind had occurred. Although interested
in the fight. he had never met Roche in
his life, and Roche had never seen him
unless he was able to see through the
glare of the ring to the box occupied by
Mr.. Croker and his friends during the
fight.
