WEEvIl PROOF COTTON

Clarksdale, Miss, Aug. g. An experiment of the greatest import to Southern cotton grow CTS is that now being tried in Tex as to produce a cotton that will be boil weevil proof. This test of the immunity of certain varieties IS being made at the Texas ex- pertinent farm at Brownsville, and is being watch with interest by cotton growers the country oyer.
 The seed of fifty-six varieties of cotton, from various parts of the world, chiefly from Central America, the Philippines and South Africa, have been procureo with a view to developing some cross variety that will be adapted to Texas, both in the producing and the insect-resisting qualities. As an illustration of the possibili- ties in direction, one variety of cotton obtained from Nicaragua has squares which hang down. ward. It is proven fact that the boil weeyil is a clumsy insect and that it clings with difficulty. Therefore, it would find it diff cult to hang on to this Nicaragua cotton, which is being successful ly grown in it's native countay. despite the fact that it is the country whence the holl weevil originally came,
 It is the idea of those having the experimentations in hand to blend this Nicaragua cotton with the long staple of the South, in the hope that the trait of the squares hanging downward may be retained and at the same time the excellent yeild of the long staple
 The experiment is a worthy one and apparently practicable. If

fell upon the earth; and the child ren's song was hushed-but still the angles sang: 'Hosanna in the highest; hosanna to our King" And then one of the youngest of the prisoners, a mere stripling of a lad began to sob audibly. Then he cried Out; "Oh, Mother, Mother" and lean- ing his head against the wall, he sobbed in agony of grief. The song had awakened every tender memories of home of mother, of the innocence of childhood.
 And still the song went on into the third stanza, telling of the new heavens and the new earth, and the glory thereof; closing with that glad triumphant shout of victory: Sing for the night is OCT. Hosanna in the highest; hosanna forevermore. "
 The song ceased; silence fell upon the court room. The judge looked into the faces of the pris- oners. He saw that the song had done for them more than any punishment he could infict; so with a few words of kind advice, and gentle admonition, he dis missed the prisoners, and closed the court. Rev. H.

HOLY CITY" SUNG
 IN POLICE COURT.

This incident, told by a news reporter, was published some years ago. The scene was in a police court in one of our large cities, New Orleans if 1 remem- Der correctly: It was Monday morning, and the usual array of prisoners, some twenty-five in number, had been brought in for trial. Some were old, hardened cases who had often been there before, and were indifferent to their surroundings. Others were new offenders and some were there far the first time, and were keenly concious of the shame and disgrace of being in such a posi- ton.

of the song of the children in the temple, as they sang: "Hosanna in the highest; hosanna to our King" while angles answered back the glad refrain; "Hosanna in the highest; hosanna to our King"
 The prisoners began to grow restless. Some memories were being awakened in their minds that had long seemed dead. Presently an old, hardened crimi- nal stepped forward, and said: Judge, 1 just can't stard this any longer. We are here to be tried, and take our punishment, whatever it is, but that that, " and he choacked up, and could sayno more.
 And the song went on into the second stanza. telling of the shadow of the Cross that stood upon the hill, and of the darkness and coldness and silence that

The judge had just taken his seat to open the court when from a room below someone begansing- ing in a clear, strong, melodious voice:
 Last night as 1 lay a.sleeping
 There came a dream so fair;

 Beside the temple there.'
 The officer in charge of the pri- sorers stepped forward to the desk, snd asked the judge if he should st3p the singing. The judge asked. Who is the singer? The officer replied that he was a of all opera troupe that had been stranded in the city, and that this man had been ar rested for some slight offense, and was awaiting his trial.
 The judge answered.: No, no; do not stop him. Let him sing. '
 So the song went on, every word clear and distinct, telling
