almost before the patient is aware that

observed when rest is unsound from

Cotton Spinning Feats.

Sea island cotton is the best kind"
said a southerner. 1T is finer and
silkier than any other cotton in the
world. A pound of it can be spun into
4.770 miles of thread. For an expert
ment once in the English town of
Manchester a skilled spinner spun a
pound of sea island cotton into sim
gle thread 1000 miles long. Then for
another experiment he took another
pound of cotton and spun it into as
many hanks as he could get. He got
10000 hanks in all, and the yarn in
each measured $40 yards. Thus. out
of a pound of cotton 4,770 miles of
yarn was produced. This yarn, though,
was too fine to be of any practical
utility. Those two experiments made
superb experiment for the cotton of
the south. Louisville Courier-Jou

constantinopIe shoemakers.

In Constantinople the shoemakers are
all poets. While a customer is having
a heel repaired or a shoe relaced the
attendant recites extemporized or
memorized verses to him. As the lam
guage is Arabic or Turkish, the listener
rarely knows whether he is hearing a
good or bad verse. On the Musk, the
Broadway of old Cairo, one can buy
the red leather, sharp toed slippers,
universally worn in land where there
is rarely any rain, for about 80 cents.
They are not worth more, being very
fimsy articles in construction. They

which is thing of beauty, of comfort
and OF enduring utility.-Argonaut.

sled the coming of both the sub
marine and the airship. Why did
she not foresee some effective check
on the airship as a modern army
asset LA Patrie, the French war de-
partment's airship, before escaping
the other day, picked up its half
dozen men and changed station from
the capital to Verdun, $50 miles
nearer to the German frontier, be-
tween S:45 in the morning and 3:4o
in the afternoon. The craft covered
the 800 kilometers at a speed o.
more than 25 miles an hour with
out stopping for fresh supply OF
gas, and maintained an elevation
generally above 1000 yards. Now

against the dirigle as destroyer

Europeans are wrinkling their
