The Cotton Crop
From the Washington Post.

q IOiH lilt fOSi.
 The worlds annual production of cot ton is estimated at 20,o00e00 bales, of which the planters of America grow more than one-half. or about 100000 bales. 1n the British provinces and dependencies are grown 5,50o.eO0 bales, though all of It except the 1,5eo,oo0 from Egypt is inferior fin quality to the American cotton. The price of the staple and of the fabric ad- yances year by year. which shows tha. the production does not keep pace with the consumption, and this, too, notwlth- standing the encouragement lent the planter in the market return for the seed that is yielded from this crop,
 While 1t is true that not one-fourth of the cotton area of the United States has teen subjected to the blow and the hoe it Is, nevertheless, obvious that if our country is long to hold the supremacy in the growing of cotton, old methods of cultivation must be supplanted by tha new. A planter who gets less than a bale of lint from an acre seeded to cot ton ought to quit his job, for he Is not dtted for it. One planter in Mississippi the prairie region near the Alabama line 1p the black belt-acquired an old worn out farm, and what with corn, peas, oats and alfalfa, he now has a plantation as fertile as 1t was when the land was vir- gin, and his acres devoted to cotton yield him from bale and a half to two bales to the acre.

Names of Rebel pri.oner.

Fl Paso, Tex, December 17-Mexican papers received here today from the national capital give long list of names of insuTectionary prisoners brought there from Silao, Guanajato and near Zacatecas It is stated in some of the pa pers that the rebels took Juichipala, a small town near Zacatecas, but the town was retaken and most of the rebels made prisoners.
 The special correspondent of the Fl Paso Herald wires from Maipami Duran go, that rebels in the mountains near there are starving and are flocking back to the plantations.
 That there has been further fighting since the battle of Cerroto, in the state of Chihauhau, is certain. Passengers for the last two mornings reaching Fl Paso report no communication between Chi huahua and the distant region either by wire or mall.
 There was fight last night at Hacien- dita, just across the Texas line south of Maria, eight miles from Ojinaga. Troops from Ojinaga were attacked &C., cording to a telephone message from Maria. Several soldiers were killed and % horses of the troopers stampeded across the river into Texas.

For to Go for Soup

Washington Correspondence, Brooklyn
 Eagle.
 The first story to get on record during the present session of Congress was told in the House recently in the course of tine debate on an appropriation to reimburse the state of Pennsylvania for money ad- vanced to care for federal troops. Some of the members from other states, head ed by F. P. Campbell lof Kansas, fought the appropriation, and Congressman Campbell asserted in the course of the debate that Pennsylvania had been owing Uncle Sam some money ever since 1SSo
 "The fact that the gentleman from Kansas" retorted one of the Pennsyl- vania members, "goes back as far as 1880 for facts with which to oppose this claim suggests to me a little story.
 "A man entered restaurant and asked the waiter: What kind of soup have you got todayr
 "'Ox tail soup.' answered the waiter
 "What kind of soup the waiter re- piled.
 "'what kind of sop?' The man seemed a bit incredulous.
 "I said OK tail soup the waiter re- piled.
 "It strikes me that's going back pretty far for soup said the man, and he left. :"

 Government Troops FOUGHT FOR SIX HOURS Mexican Papers Published in the Na- tionaI Capital Give Names of

 Held There
FOUGHT FOR SIX HOUR:

Mexico City. December 17.-Through Col. Garcia Cuellan, chief of staff of President Diaz, the Associated Press to- night was given a copy of telegraphic report of General Navarro of the bat tie at Pedernalles. Chihuahua yester- day. The report was sent to General Hernandez at Chihuahua and copy fol- lowed to the war department here. The report was as follows:
 "In compliance with your telegram of yesterday I sent 4T5 men under Col. Trucy Aubret of the Thirteenth cav airy to take possession of Nal Paso and protect the arrival of reinforce ments from Chihuahua. The revolu- tionists were on the heights border ing the pass and began firing upon the troops from all sides. At the same time other revolutionary forces began fir- ing upon my own troops at Peder- nelles. After giving orders to my men at the latter place I marched alone to see what was happening to Colonel Trucey, whom I found in good shape After two hours fighting we dislodged the enemy from their entrenchments hAici thio ptOctcQcu Wltn COiOnei Trucey's troops to Perdernalles, where the fighting had become general and very intense. The revolutionists were about 1000 strong and they were do- ing their best to avoid allowing our endorsements to join us.
 After six hours fighting at this point we routed the, enemy. The revolutionists fled in all directions. They left A men dead on the field. but undoubtedly many more were killed. Many of them were wounded. but were carried away by their comrades. We captured g rifles, six Mausers, one bugle, and a quantity of ammunition. On our side two officers and ten privates were killed. Among the dead are Liuet Adolfo Beltran of the Thir- teenth cavalry, and Second Lieut. Ramon Reyes of the Twentieth infantry. Among the wounded are Capt. Florentine Gova | of the Thirteenth cavalry and 26 soldiers ''colonel Trucey's horse was killed. ] | am much satisfied with the conduct and gallantry of my command and wish tc | especially mention Lieutenant Beltran
 who unhappily was killed on the field oi | battle"

ARGENTINA IS AHEAD
 OF UNITED STATES Hobble Skirt Has Come and Gone in That Country
WOMEN DRESS IN STYLE
Minister SherriI1 Praises the Progress siyeness of the South American Republic and the People
 Who Make It

New York, December 17.-(Special.) The hobble skirt came and went in Buenos Ayres before New York women had ever seen 1t, says Charles H. Sher- Till. United States minister to the Ar genuine Republic, and dukes and counts go unnoticed when they visit there.
 MT. Sherril1 who is in his native land on a leave of absence. believes that we as people are behind the progressive inhabitants in the most enlightened cities in South America in the procession that makes up the worlds progress.
 "The women in Buenos Ayres." he said in an interview here, "are much smarter than the American. Their clothes are much more like those of the Parisiennes and they dress much more quietly. and consequently in bet ter taste than the New York women. Moreover they wear no jewels to the opera or to any other public place." MT. Sherrill is locked upon as one of the most progressive men that tho United States has even sent to Argen- tina
 "The United States. with a popula- tion of nearly 100000, 900, is proud be- | cause 1t welcomes 100000 immigrants a year." he said. Argentina, with a population of only 100000 receives 250,00O new citizens annually" He continued
 Another thing about Buenos Ayres that is superior to New York is the in- difference of the people to tiles. Dukes and counts who have been fairly mohbed In the United States come down there and nobody notices them. "All the women down there speak three or four languages. Every one speaks French. It's thought nothing of, while here, you know, it is quite a rare accom- plishment"
 ''What is the status of women in the family?' he was asked.
 About the same as with us," MT. Sher- Till answered. Though down there, of course, they have larger families. And the better off the people the larger the family.
 Now, you know, here in America we are supposed to be phlegmatic Anglo saxons, but you know very we'll we are h'ghly nervous, highly emotional race we are Latinized Anglo-Saxons. Well, the people of Argentina are Anglo Saxonzed Latins.
 Ill tell you the truth about Argen- tine,' the American minister concluded. I've never seen drunken man there: I've never seen beggar and I've never been In place where the poor people wore such good shoes"

About Buckvvheat Cakes

From the Washington Post.
 There is a strange rumor rife in. the country. and 1t has to do with buck wheat cakes. A powerful falling off in their consumption is reported. Men who formerly got on the outside of 35 or 40 are now satisfied when they have encom- passed 20 to 25. Foreign habits have been taken up. and the vitiated modern appe- tite turns from the wholesome food of a sturdier generation to the light knick- knaoSs of an alien race
 We have, indeed, fallen upon evil times when the delicious buckwheat cake loses it's popularity. Do you remember-can you ever forget-the buckwheat of your youth? You do not know how they were made, nor do you want to lnow. But a gustatory sensation to which you have long been a stranger Is revived at the very thought of an early winters feast in the long ago, The night before was sharp, with the promise of a hard frost, and the wind was still. The hens shuffled uneasily on the roost. and the old rooster, on guard at the end of the perch, drew his head down between hls shiulders and turned one unwinking red eye on you as you snapped the hasp on the door and ran back to the house. There, before the open log fire, sat a great basin of buckwheat dough. You crawled into bed. folded your hands piously across your stomach and fell asleep.
 And the next morning how the buck wheat has "rizv Puffed up beyond be- lieff the plastic mass rounded high, and hung over the edge of the vessel. And then some one dusted the imaginary specks from her apron, stopped, low, and carried tho pan Into the kitchen.
 Charles Lamb once complained of grace before meat as a perfunctory habit In modern life, men not being really thankful when their meals come as a matter of course. But grandfather good old man-read a psalm that morning. He had way of opening the book and tackling the first one he I came to. Sometimes it breathed ven geance upon the enemy, but that never disturbed him. He always wound up by thanking the Lord for His mercies. And all the while the cakes were sputtering on the skillet, and you sniffed an odor sweeter than myrrh and frankincense as the door opened gently for mother to join the kneeling group.
 What followed was what might nat urally be expected to follow such sol- emn preparations. How many did you eat? Mo- you didn't-we don't believe it, though you cross your heart and swear honest injun! But you did sink your teeth in the half-inch cakes, all right, with maybe. maple syrup poured over them, or. maybe, country sausage on the side.
 | Buckwheat cakes are for boys and men. The old Greeks laughed when Aristophanes described the gods eating stacks of pancakes !" But if they had been buck wheats, the audiences should have applauded More than anything else, buckwh eats fill the body with contentment and the soul
 with peace, and there can hardly be the shadow of a doubt that Browning had broken his fast on them when he wrote:
 Gods in His heaven,
 | Alls right with the worldw
 Is it any wonder that we sigh for the
 good old times?

the familiar hair or harbor seal and botb it's swimming fippers and it's tail fip pers are approximately to its body much longer than those of the harbor seal. The harpor seal when 1t rests or sleeps climbs out on rocks, or in winter on a cake of ice The fur seal, far wider traveller sleeps more on the water and when it sleeps 1t folds its long tail flippers upon its body, between It's side f1ippers, pre- sentins thus a curious appearance quite unlike the harbor seal.
 These two young fur seals are fed on fish, and one of them is already tame enough to take food from the hand.

Mother shipton's Prophecy

The following poem was first publishe n 1lSS.
 Carriages without horses shall go, And accidents fill the world with woe; Around the world thoughts shall fly In the twinkling of an eye;
 Water shall yet more wonders do; How strange, yet shall be true; The world upside down shall be. And gold be found at root of tree. Through hills men shall ride. And no horse or ass be at his side. Under the water men shall walk, Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. In the air men shall be seen In white, in black, in green. Iron in water shall float
 As easy as a wooden boat. Gold shall be found. and found In land that's not now known. Fire and waters shall wonders do. England shall at last admit Jew. The world to an end shall come, Tn eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
