Peru,s Unique Cotton.

Peru is the country which now leads all nations in the production of cot ton per unit of area and offers the best conditions for the industry. The remarkable fact about the native stock is that the fiber closely resembles wool and the entire crop is used in the man. ufacture of woolen goods. It is claim ed that such goods are improved by the admixture. Peru is the worlds only source of supply for this singular fiber, and it's market price ranges ten per cent. above all other kinds.

UNEXPECTED
 RESULTS
By SUSANNE GLENN

Going down to Crandell's Dick?" Richard Durham observed quizzically his spic-and-span namesake nephew.
 Yes, siri" Young Dick colored un- comfortably
 Well. Dick, can't help thinking that you might better keep away"
 There was a seriousness about his uncle's manner that impressed the young man.
 Don't you believe in fellow being in love-and marrying?" he asked qui- etly.
 I've no particular objection to your being in love if it is any especial en- joyment--but marrying is another mat ter. That is a serious thing, my boy
 Do you think a man ought to be afraid to meet life?" The young fellow lifted his head proudly.
 Not afraid to meet 1t, but afraid to complicate it. Sit down, Dick; I want to tell you something.
 Dick Durham dropped resignedly into a chair.
 You're just like your father, always letting your heart run away with your head I love you for 1t just as I loved him, but I do not want you to go through with what he did. When he met your mother, he hardly waited for the introduction to get over before he proposed-and she accepted. They were married, and bought the Soper place across here. Your mother was a town girl and pretty as a picture, but she knew no more about work than child. There wasn't much money and 1t worried her because she did not know how to save and work like her neighbors. Your father knew she was unhappy and that worried him. And finally when you came she couldn't seem to hold on to life any longer.
 "Then bills began piling in, and your father kept working harder until he took a fever and died, too, a broken hearted man when he wasn'. much older than you, lad.
 I've been watching this Gdrl of yours, Dick She is a nice, lovable.

RESERVOIR OF ALL RIVERS
Facts About the Sea and It's Place In Nature-some Interesting
 Possibilities.

The sea is the reservoir into which run all the rivers of the world It is the cistern which finally catches all the rain that falls, not only upon it's own surface but upon the surface of the land and upon the roofs of our houses. All this water is removed by evaporation as fast as it is supplied. It is estimated that every year a layer of the entire sea fourteen feet thick is taken up into the clouds. This vapor is fresh, and if all the water could be removed in the same way and none of it returned it is calculated that there would be left a layer of pure salt 230 feet high on the bed iof the Atlantic. This is upon the sup position that three feet depth of water contains one inch depth of salt and that the average depth of the ocean is three miles.
 At a depth of about $500 feet the temperature is uniform, varying but a trif1e between the poles and the equator The colder water is below It is reported that in many deep bays on the coast of Norway the water often begins to freeze at the bottom before it does at the surface.
 At that depth waves are not felt The force of waves is in proportion to their height. It is said that the sea strikes upon Bell Rock with the force of seventeen tons for each square yard.
 The pressure of the water increases as we go down. At the depth of a mile this pressure is reckoned at more than a ton to the square inch-that is, more than 13S times the pressure of atmosphere.
 The depth of the sea presents some interesting considerations. If the At lantic were lowered 6.564 feet it would be reduced to half it's present width. If 1t were lowered little more than three miles there would be dry land all the way between Newfoundland and Ireland. If the Mediterranean were lowered 660 feet Africa would be joined to Italy and three separate seas would remain

AIEW YORK.-The inconsistency of " modern fashions is well expressed in the picturesque flower muffs that have lately appeared over the sar- torial horizon. Nevertheless these un- usual creations are considered among the daintiest accessories introduced in many a day. Frequently the huff is made to correspond with the covering of the parasol or it's decoration. One of the prettiest flower muffs we have seen was made of rose petals in shades of pink running from the plainest tints of Brides roses to the softer tones of the American Beauty rose. The sunshade that accompanied the huff was lined with white mousse line caught across the ribs with mar row shirrings. The rather deep shade of pink silk forming the foundation of the parasol showed through just enough to give a lovely mellow effect.
 Another charming outfit consisted of muff, parasol and hat in violet, running from the various purple tints to the pinkish shades of the lilac The becoming little hat was fashioned after the style of the Brittany peas ant caps, which furnish the inspira- tion for many plays on smart head wear just now. In this particular in stance the cap covers the features almost completely The crown is covered with violets and the little brim Is faced with point venise lace in it's natural color. Such hats re- quire a pretty young face to bring out their best lines. Other models of this type are fashioned after the style of the Normandy caps and trimmed with numbers of tiny wings. One model boasted of as many as fifty of these wings hardly bigger than a humming birds.

1 his white father has long since been lost in the maelstrom of society, Johnnie should work, but he does not; he should save his pennies. but he will not; he should do chores for his mother, but he merely plays.
 ''Is that all true, Johnnie?" asks the judge with fatherly touch on the boys shoulder. The little quadroon is touched by the kindness of the judge, he drops his little eyes, and says it is true.
 'Tf I give you another chance, will you work, Johnnie-and will you stay home nights-and will you help your tired mother?"
 Johnnie promises to be good; there is a ring of honesty in his boyish voice, he goes out into the world and makes good, and as the mother wash. es to keep herself and boy in trim, the case does not become a burden to the state.
 But the next instance is different Jim Murray came before the judge. He had stolen his fathers cuff-but. tons and had skipped. He slept under boxes and sidewalks and in barns, Jim had a grievance, too. He was obliged to wash dishes and to scrub. and the nickel, the ignoble compensa- tion furnished him for the task by his grandfather, Jim says is taken from him by his father.
 Jim says 1t Is all true. and he begs the court to send him to a farm un- til he Is twenty-one years of age. He will be glad to work near to natures heart, and if he can ride a pony oc casionally and can rest under apple trees occasionally he will make man of himself
 It is work such as this the Big Brother and Big Sister league of Chi cago Is doing, as a part of the Illinois Children's Home and Aid society. and under the direction of the juvenile court.
 The work was started in Chicago in July, 1909, by MT. E. R. Colby. MT. Colby would rather find a good home for a child than to race about the country in an automobile, and he has given up splendid business chances for this phase of social work. During tue past year HOO CuAA0A CA navy DCCA looked after, and the avenues for use fitness are ever widening.
 There have long been open doors for little fatherless and motherless children, there have long been COT rective institutions (which have not always corrected), but there has been an intermediate class of boys and girls which has been lost sight of This class has of recent years been discovered in large cities, and 1t is this intermediate class of boys and girls that the Big Brothers and Big Sisters are trying to help over the roughnesses of life.
 As may be fancied, work of this kind in metropolitan city grows by leaps and bounds, and method of work must be thought out and worked out as facts develop. Good homes must be at hand to supply the mani fold necessities, big and little.
 The office of the league is at 127 North Dearborn street, Chicago, where the Children's Home and Aid Society of Illinois has for a dozen years main tained its existence.

sort of girl, but she is as incompetent I'd have more hopes of her.
 And if you ever get married I'll help you all can-but can't be hay Ing you bring a city girl in here with her new-fangled notions. I'm too ac- customed to old Barbara's ways"
 Richard Durham sat in silence long after his nephew had gone his way.
 "I suppose 1t won't do bit of good to talk to him." he unused. "Still, if I could get him over this foolish age, he'd be likely to have some sense; get a man past thirty and he will keep his head no matter what pranks his heart may play him!"
 The old housekeeper bustling in to light the lamp and bring the evening paper, observed:
 There's going to be dance down in Bailey's new barn tomorrow night. It does beat all how uneasy folks are to have some excitement going on.'
 That, then, was the reason for Dicks unaccustomed Thursday evening call! Richard Durham smiled to himself.
 I'll get the start of the rascal" he thought with a laugh. 'Tll go to that dance myself, and watch proceedings. If things go too far I shall speak to the girl since the young man refuses to listen to reason. If can but get them to wait five years, will save them both lot of trouble whether they give me credit for 1t or mott"
 When Dick Durham proudly escorted Lora Gaines and her sister Mildred into the gaily decorated improvised ballroom on the following evening. he was disconnected to find his Uncle Richard there before him.
 "Confound him." he growled under his breath as he observed the older man coming smilingly forward, '1f he sets out to make himself agreeable I may as well go home for all the show I'll getl"
 Lora Gaines greeted him pleasantly. There was something undeniably at- tractive about the soft dark hair. the laughing eyes she raised to him, the pretty round arms under her lace sleeves.
 Durham realized how a young fellow like Dick must feel about her. But the quiet little sister with whom Dick was sitting glumly in the corner was worth two of her!
 Suppose I can dance, Dick?" said Durham, genially as the music started. -I haven't had much practice lately, but used to get along pretty we'll"

Then again others are as fine as a cobweb. with a floral de- sign traced over the surface White, cream and champagne are the favored tints and the tracings, or rather the patterns are outlined with black. The designs are arranged in border effects, with the ends traversing the upper part of the veil.
 Some of the snappiest little hot weather frocks for morning wear are made of Japanese crepe, such as was once used only in kimonos. These practical dresses are an important for they may be washed in the basin and require little or no ironing. If the collar and sleeves have trim mings of different material, then it may be necessary to employ an iron for these particular parts. The crepe is found in a long range of colors, including many charming border pat terms. The summer tourist with many long trips before her, stopping only briefly here and there, will do well to provide herself with a stock of crepe blouses; she will find them both. practical and cool.
 Just at the beginning of vacation time the striped silk skirtings are about the most popular item of the silk counter. These silks are wash able, which makes them altogether desirable, and they come in variety of different colors and markings. Stripes lead in favor, while checks and broken plaids in endless varia- tions of design and color are too abundant to attempt to describe. Shirts of these silks are often or dered of the shirtmakeF by the dozen and even more by women who do not

Sounds Almost True.

The following is a real fish story: Almost frozen and dying of hunger we saw a wounded whale struggling on the ice. We were so hungry we could hardly refrain for eating it raw; but upon my suggestion we proceeded to fry the whale entire:-we did so and found Its flesh as tender as sal mon. How did we fry it? Where did we get the frying pan? Why, I'll tell you. We started a fire on the ice and let it burn till it became red hot, and then we rolled the fish on 1t, and in an hour it was done to a turn.

 But Miss Gaines has been so kind as to venture it with me-" smiled Rich ard, leading the girl forth with a show of pride,
 Hours later as they came out into the star-lit night Durham's heart smote him at sight of his nephew's s face. After all, he had gone about far enough for once; it undoubtedly would be hard to be deprived of such a girl. Too much opposition is as bad as not enough.
 Miss Mildred" he said in his gentle manner, "are you going to be kind enough to let an old fellow like me walk home with you?"
 Come. Lora," he heard Dick say, with happy laugh.
 When Richard Durham at last sought his comfortable pillow, sleep refused to visit him. He saw only the be- witching face of the little teacher.

 Morning found Dick still morose and gloomy. For the first time in their life together, he and his uncle spent a si- lent, unsympathetic day.
 "Pll go down and see the girl" thought the uncomfortable arbitrator of fate, "and if this has got to be. shall have to make the best of it !"
 Miss Gaines was busy with some books in the deserted schoolroom. She wore a frivolous little pink frock that met with the disapproving admiration of her caller.
 "Er-you like the country. Miss Gaines?'
 T love it," said the girl, simply.
 Durham groaned in spirit
