Cotton in England.

American cotton thinkers, with
memories still busy with the recent
uproar In our cotton mart, will prob
ably read with interest Of the discus
sion in the house Of commons recent
ly on cotton-growing in the British
empire, in which both sides showed a
commendable zeal. Mir. Emmott,
speaking on behalf Of the British Cot.
ton Growing association, thanked the
government for the assistance they
had given, and pointed out that the
only barrier to making British Central
African territories a great cotton
producing region lay in the labor
9Th. ,.r. ..;;,-.,Jn. in all ln;cr
esting speech, summarized the steps
which have been taken in this work
throughout the empire. Egypt,
thanks to Lord Cromer, sends a good
supply, and there is every reason to
believe that cotton growing may be
established in the Soudan. Expert
ments are being made IN Rhodesla and
other parts of South Africa, but the
west coast of Africa is the chief CEN
ter of promise. 1t has been arranged
that the Cotton Growing association
shall contribute 100000 year for the
work. and that Southern Nigeria, Sier-
ra Leone, and Lagos shall provide
GG.500 for three years. No better
work in the cause of imperialism
could be undertaken, for on it's sue
cess depends the future Of some OF
Britain's chief tropical possessions

Smelling salts can be made to last
for years If fresh spirits are poured
over the balls Of salt from time to
time. SO as to keep up the original
strength OF the mixture. Many peo-
ple use spirit. Of ammonia in this
connection, but still more powerful
specific may be found in combination
of this spirit with oil Of lavender, In
the proportion of two parts Of the for
mer to one of the latter, says Woman's
Life. In procuring TIE ammonia, how
ever, care must be taken to avoid
choosing aromatic spirits Of ammonia
in error, the water which it contains
preventing 1t from amalgamating with

How to Care For Evening Slippers.

How to Care For Evening Slippers.
Cloth top slippers should be well
whisked each time after wearing, and
an occasional cleansing with naphtha
or gasoline will keep them clean, says
the Washington Star. Evening Slip
pers in pastel shades Of kid or in silk
or satin may be readily cleaned with
an erasure known as art gum that Is
used by illustrators. OF course. either
naphtha or gasoline will clean these
soiled slippers. Those made OF bronze
leather, gift or gold cloth must be care
fully handled to prevent tarniShinS
and should be painted With hqufd
bronze or gold as soon as they begin
to look duff When touched with this
brightener it is best to have the stip-
pers fitted over trees: then the cloth
or kid will not only keep free from
wrinkles, but the correct shape Will
be retained.

Astonishingly few persons know how
to brush Iheir teeth. This may seem
q remarkable statement but one may
demonstrate it the next time brush
Is used. 1t Is rubbed across the teeth
Instead o. up and down, and mo-
ments thought will show that rubbing
across will clear the middle or fat sur
face, but the edges or curves are left
absolutely untouched, runs an article
In the New York Telegram. The mo-
ton should always, be from the gums
down to tie tips on the upper jaw and
from the gums up on the lower. In
this way, and this way only, are pard-
Giles removed from between the teeth
and the whole surface gone over. Add
ed to this dental floss should be used
soft coarse silk that Is drawn back and
forth between tie teeth at the base,
bringing out distractions too small or
too far in for any brush to reach. Floss
should be used after each meal and al
ways at night Many dentists bill

The Art Of DRINKING.

Every child should be taught that
thirst quenching does not depend 80
greatly on the quantity of fluid swal-
lowed as on the length of time during
which liquid is kept in contact with
the tissues of the mouth and throat.
A small quantity Of water used as a
mouth and throat wash will relieve
thirst more than pint swallowed has
tily. A child should never be allowed
to drink iced water. or for that mat
ter any kind of iced drinks.
