Appetite and Hunger.

Whenever the appetite is in doubt,
do not eat. Eat only when your ap-
petite knows its own mind, and will
rejoice for food, like the appetite OF
a soldier after marching. Do not
mistake reselessness for hunger.
Perhaps IL is relaxation that you
need, or exercise, or sleep, or a
change OF scene, or the draught OF
water that you neglected between
meals, or the making of an apology,
or any other of the bodily or spirit
ual needs which civilized man is
forever in danger OF neglecting. But
IL Is not hunger unless the appetite
says SO with decision. and, in the de-
cision. includes a preference for
something in particular.
Not only. therefore. is proper
chewing-or as ] prefer to put il.
proper tasting to proper
discrimination by the appetite: but
also proper surrounding conditions
are necessary conditions, namely,
which wards of the assaults OF worry
and hurry and all the brood OF men,
tai uneasiness. These enemies are
more subtle than is commonly recog-
nized.

Titles In England.

Forty or fifty years age few pep
pie in England had titles. There
were only q few decorations which
entitled their owners to prefix sir

looked down With lofty contempt up-
on the counts and barons that wee
so plentiful in continental countries.
Now We can do SO no longer, for
probably there Is no other country
In the world where the traffic in
titles is so open and so indecent as
in England. What the number II
our decorations is do not know, and

senators Talk Faster Now.

Perhaps no part OF this govern
ment SO effectively reflects the
change that has been going on in the
minds of the people and the change
in government itself as the United
States senate" remarked Albert F..
Marks. of Columbus, o., an old time
short hand reporter, who has been an
interested listener in the senate gall
lery for several weeks. II suppose
that few of the thousands of visitors
who go to the capitol stop to think
about the work required Of the stem
ographers who daily record the pro-
ceedings OF the two houses. There Is
no more nerve-racking employment
than that Of taking down the de-
bates In a legislative body. One Of
the Oldest reporters told me that in
his service OF 25 years as a steno-
grapher on thu floor, the average
speed al which senators talk has in
creased from 40 words a minute to
IT'S words. He claims that this is
due 10 the changed conditions. There
is no longer the dignified delibera-
ton in that body there once was. A
few years ago when the leading
members Of the senate rose TO make
a speech they were given the respect
full attention OF all the senators.
There were no Interruptions. That
was the time of Edmunds, Thurman.
Sherman. Pendleton and others. To-
day hardly does a member OF the
senate rise to address the chamber
when he Is interrupted by some other
senator The result is that in place
Of a dignifed, deliberatiye body OF
legislators. the United States senate
has become a debating society. Per-
haps this Is the result OF the pro-
gressive movement that has been
sweeping the country.
My reporter friend tells me that
the fastest taiker in the senate is
Clark Of Arkansas. who speaks al
the rate of 230 10 ESQ words min
ute. He Is the hardest man in the
senate for stenographer TO take,
because, he not only talks rapidly.
but he has an impeachment In his
speech. When Senator Hale was in
the senate. be was the slowest talker.
! am told. At this time the easiest
men for the stenographers are Stone
Of Missouri and cummins OF Iowa.
The latter Is not only deliberate and
slow IN his speech. but he has the
happy faculty Of constructing his
sentence properly. Senator Foraker,
when a member Of that body, was
probably the easiest man In the SEN
ate for stenographer. The Ohio
man spoke rapidly, probable 200
words a minute. but he knew how to
talk. His English was perfect. A
sienographer did not have to stop
and reconstruct his sentences. -

COTTON.
CROP EVER MADE.
According 10 Estimates Of United
States Reporting Board

Washington. July 4.--Official esti-
mates OF the crop OF 1911 indicates
that it will be the largest in the his
tory OF the country, approximating
according to the present figures, a.
425,0O0 bales of 500 pounds each. ex-
|ceeding by almost a million bales the
record crop OF 1904,
DR.. IN. A. Murray, acting chief OF
the crop reporting board of the de-
partment Of agriculture. made the fol-
lowing statement subsequent to the
issuance of the cotton crop report:
The report shows the condition of
the crop to be higher than on any cor
responding date in the last ten years.
A month ago the general condition
was S.5 per cent above the ten-year
average. Today it is 1913 per cent
above the ten-year average.
The acreage of cotton this year is
about 35O0Oo00. Allowing for the
average amount of abandonment
about l,UO0,UuU acreS--the5 indications
are that approximately 34.OO0.000 acres
of cotton will be harvested.
THE condition indicates probable
yield of 2o2S pounds per acre, which
on 34.O0O,O0O acres would mean g.
95.0O0.00O pounds. or about 14.425. 900
bales.
This calculation allows for aver
age depreciation. The critical period
in cotton growth IS in August and
September. so that any estimate at this
time must be taken with some allow
ance.
@The largest previous production OF
cotton in this country was in 1904,
when it aggregated l3,e7c.954 bales of
500 pounds each"

Wicked TEXAS statesmen.

But the deception practiced by our
watchmen in the legislative halls at
Washington. In having speeches
printed that were never delivered.
and applause and laughter parenthe-
SEES inserted ad libertum, is not the
worst. form OF wickedness common
to our national capital. There Is a
good deal of drinking done there,
and some Of our gilded guardians
do not always call for grape juice or
ginger ale when they appease their
thirst. There is card-playing, and
some of our bestowed sentinels do
not always prefer seven-up or high
five. Occasionally there is dancing,
and 1t is well known In the inner cir
cles that more than one of our Texas
representatives has been known to
disfavor square dancing and the de-
corus, If tedious, minuet. preferring
rather to seize beautiful and may
hap unknown lady by her median
line and romp around on a waxen
floor impelled by the kind OF music
that makes ones feet feel as II he
had waded in the fountain of youth.
All these little peccadillos and PEN
chants are not sinful per Sc; but they
are indirectly wicked, for when our
great men come home to repair their
fences they conceal from us their
little weaknesses. They appear to us
as great, strong, rugged characters
who scorn frivolity, face powder,
cocktails. lingerie royal Pushes, ro-
uge pots. jack pots and all the other
forms OF vanity. In our admins
