An5Ancient= Industry.

It would be difficult to say when exactly and at what date the manufac ture of cotton fabrics began. In com parauvely modern times, says Country Life, 1t has become aR industry of i'm portance in Europe. but 1t has -four ished fin the east from a period too re mote to admit of calculation. The Egyptians certainly used both cotton and linen materials. for fragments of such stuffs have been preserved among the other relics of their ancient civi- lization, and there is much reason to believe that the elaborate draperies Of the Assyrians were cotton or muslins finely woven and of delicate texture In China. too. and India the same kinds of material have been the com mon wear of the people from time In memorial. ln fact, everywhere through out the ear cotton fabrics were pro duced and used long before the primi tive Europeans had begun to develop any of the graces of civilization or in deed had ceased to be anything but skin clad savages.

The farmers have been at it good
and hard this week, after their long
wait for settled weather, and thou
sands and thousands of acres of York
county land have been torn up during
the week.
People who have things that they
want to sell, can do no better than to
let other people who might want to
buy, know about it, and the best possi-
BILE way to do this. in this section, is to
insert an advertisement in The En-
quirer.
The warm weather has swelled the
buds on the fruit trees, and While, of
course, it Is a guess as to how the mat
ter will turn out, great many people
are expressing alarm as to whether
there will be any fruit. There is moth
ing definite or satisfactory to be said
on the subject yet.
The Columbia Record of last We'd
nesday reached Yorkville on the day
of publication. So far as information
is at hand, this is the first time that an
afternoon paper from Columbia has
ever succeeded in doing this. If the
Record can make this arrangement a
regular thing, it will materially in
crease the number of its subscribers
up this way.

tied to it shall desire The business Of

past two weeks settling with clubmak-

freedom with which subscriptions have
been coming in.
Because they habtuaIly read every
thing in the paper, great many people
will read Rev. ]. l.. Oates's sermon on
the Bible as Literature" as a matter
of course, and others will pass it by,
because they are never interested in
anything that is in the nature of SER
mon. But those who read the sermon
voluntarily, will find themselves amply
rewarded in more ways than one, and
many of those who pass it by, will be
the unconscious losers Of pleasures Of
which they seldom dream. The SER
mon is truly magnificent one from
whatever standpoint, religious, theolog-
ical or merely literary, and 1t 1t we'll

lovers of the highest excellence in

The Independent Farmer.

While there are as many Srumbling
farmers as there are grumblers in 9TH
er vocatiOns, it is not to be under
stood that all of the farmers are grum-
berS or dissatisfied with their calling
On the contrary. there are among the
farmers quite a number who appreciate
their advantage and their independ-
ence. even more keenly that it is pos
sible for anybody else to appreciate
these things.
OF course. The Enquirer is not To be
understood as regarding the farmer as
a chronic grumbler. 1t knows better
than that. While it is an unfortunate
fact that the popularity of farming
seems to be on the wanc. there are
thousands and thousands of good far
merS who have a higher conception Of
the benefits. the opportunities and the
privileges of this noble calling than
does The Enquirer. and not few of
these. it gives us great pleasure to
know. live in this section.

there is no limit to the pleasures-phys-

he glorics I'm the fact. As was natur-

this farmer in conversation. touching
certain questions of interest to both.
Here are some of the assertions made
by this farmer during the conversation:

As the time for the appearance Of
Halley's comet draws nearer, pOpu-
lar interest intensifies. An article By
Francis BuZzell in the April number Of
Popular Mechanics tells great many
interesting facts about the comet, just
how to find it, and what scientists are
hoping and fearing concerning its visit
Illustration and diagrams further elu
cidatc the article Mr.. BuZZell states:
1T has already been mentioned that
the closest the comet will come to the
earth on this visit in about l4640.00
miles. ON its last visit in 1885 it APP
preached as close as 100000. but at
that time the earth was not in direct
line with it and the sun. consequently
its tail was not streaming toward us.
Astronomers hope that this visit of the
comet will enable them to determine
absolutely the size of the nucleus and
its composition. Comets are composed
of three parts: the nucleus. the head,
and the tail. The nucleus is the center
of the head. and it is known that the
head is of the same composition as the
tail, only denser. When comets pass
between the earth and stars it is pos
Sible to see the stars through both the
tail and the head. which is one proof
that both ar" transparent, but it has
never happened that the nucleus nf a
comet has been in such position h,.-
tween the earth and Il star that the as
tronOmers could tell whether OF not the
star would show through the nucleus
rs we'll as through the head"
