No Need Of Cotton Famine.

The cotton spinneFs Of the world are
needlessly alarmed lest the ability Of
the south to increase her cotton pro-
duction will not keep pace with the In
creasing number Of spindles and looms,
says the Southern Farm Magazine.
Governor Hoke Smith Of Georgia in a
recent article or interview says that
his state alone IL necessary could pro-
duce as much cotton as is now being
produced by the entire south. The
same is true of Mississippi and more
than doubiy true OF Texas. The labor
supply Is absolutely the only difficulty
that prevents the expansion OF cotton
production in the south to almost any
limit that might be desired.

AN. OLD TIME ASCENT.


lendon's First Balloon and The Great
Excitement II RAISED.
Tremendous excitement was caused
when London's first balloon went up.
The balloon. manned by q young Ital-
Ian named Vincent Lunardi. ascended
from Noornelds, then an open space Of
ground. on Sept. il, 1874 in the pres
ence Of more than 100000 spectators.
All business was suspended. the King
himself setting the example by ad-
journing cabinet council that hap

lowed the balloons course, some on
horseback. In carts. ID chaises, bot

some distance was roaring river Of

Many were hurt In the crush, but
the only fatality recorded was the
death from fright Of an old country
woman. who. coming out OF her cot
tage to see what the excitement was
about beheld the balloon Just above
her head On the other hand, Lunarii
undoubtedly saved one mans life, a
jury bringing in verdict Of not guilty
on notorious highwayman in order
that they, the prisoner and the Judge
who was trying the case might rush
out Of court to SEQ the balloon.
The aeronaut descended eventually
near Ware. IN Hertfordshire, where his
sudden drop from the clouds was the
cause OF more establishment, and ex-
element Many Of the spectators
swooned with fear. while others urged
the putting Of Lunardi to death there

The following is true story, vouch-
ed for by correspondent: Her little
boy Of seven years of age said to her
one day: Mother, know why 1t Is
that babies cannot speak until they are
twelve months old, 1t is because they
come straight from heaven, and II they
were able to talk as soon as they were
born they would tell the secrets, and
SO God doesn't let them speak until
they have almost forgotten them."--

FRESH INSPIRATION.
Napoleon and His Attitude Toward
the Common Soldier.


Napoleon understood human nature.
He recognized the great truth, GAS a
man thinketh in his heart so Is be-"
and knew how to apply it not only to
himself and his own ambitious prof.
ects, but to other men as we'll. More
over, he knew precisely the right mo-
ment to apply it to quicken the spark
of divine energy which smolders in
every man, although the ashes of ia
hgue and failure may cover its light
temporarily.
A French soldier carried q dispatch
to Napoleon. Just as he delivered it
into the hands of the emperor his
spent horse dropped dead. Napoleon
wrote an answer to the dispatch, then,
dismounting from his own horse, he
handed the bride to the soldier.
'Take this horse and ride back, com
rade," he said.
"Nay. SIRE" stammered the soldier,
gazing at the blooded horse and Its
trappings. sit is too magnificent and
grand for me, common soldier"
'Take itp' commanded Napoleon.
taThere. is nothing too grand and mag.
nificent for a soldier Of France"
The soldier mounted and rode away
on his perilous business, ready and
willing, and Napoleon's words. repeat
ed through the ranks and columns Of
his army, gave to his tired troops
fresh inspiration and energy. moth.
Ing too grand and magnificent for .
soldier Of France!" they said, and the
thought that they were worthy Of the
best inspired them to tho mighty deeds

FASCINATING GEOLOGY.

FASCINATING GEOLOGY.
A Study That stirs the Imagination
and Wonder of Man.
Perhaps the greatest era in the his
tory of geology" says writer in the
London Times, was that in which the
cataclysmic conception of terrestrial
changes gave place to belief that
such changes had, in large part at
least, been gradual and continuous and
produced by the slow operation Of
causes still In activity in all parts of
the globe. The cataclysmic conception
had its original source no doubt in the
Biblical narrative of the deluge and In
the extent to which the highly figspa-
tive language Of that narratIG had
been impressed upon the minds Of
many generations of men, 1t would
naturally be supported by the phenom-
ena Of earthquakes and Of volcanic
eruptions, phenomena visibly and even
startlingly productive Of great local
changes and seeming to afford at least
possible or conceivable explanations
Of all other changes which had proceed

that these great and startling events
were really Insignificant both in their
character and In their extent when
they were compared with those
