SULPHUR TAKEN FROM WELLS
in Louisiana by Means of Hot Water.

Within recent years Sicily, so long famous for it's exportation of sulphur, has suffered from the competition of the United States. In Sicily sulphur is mined in the solid form At Lake Charles, La, near the Gulf of Mexico, a little over 200 miles from New Or leans, sulphur is obtained from deep deposits in the form of a liquid.
 Wells driven to a depth of 600 feet in search of petroleum revealed in- stead rich deposit of sulphur. To obtain the mineral hollow tubes were driven into the earth. Each sulphur well consists of three tubes, one with in another. Through the outer tube hot water is forced down, and it is sues through perforations near the bottom. Through the central tube hot air is driven little lower than the points where the hot water es- capes. Through this third tube, in- closed between the other two, the li- quid sulphur, dissolved by the water, rises to the surface under the con- bined influence of the pressure of the column of water and impulsion of the rising air. The liquid sulphur is led into wooden reservoirs, where it cools and hardens.

GOT THE LETTERS MIXED
CIergyman's Mistake Resulted in Civ ing Decided Surprise to Dlgni-
 fled Archbishop.

One of the most amusing stories which the Hon. Lionel A. Tollemache tells in Nuts and Chestnuts," is that entitled, "The Wrong Envelope" MT. M, missionary, shortly before leaving England, received two letters one from Archbishop Tait asking him to dine, and the other from the secre- tary of a religious society, very old fr1end, asking him to preach. He ac- cepted the archbishop's invitation, and at the same time wrote to the secretary, but put the letters into the wrong envelopes.
 After the dinner at Lambeth the archbishop said to him: "Mr. M, do you always answer your dinner in vitations in the same way?''
 T do not understand, your grace"
 The letter, which was then shown to the missionary, ran thus You old rascal! Why did you not ask me be- fore? You know perfectly well that I shall be on the high seas on the date you name. ."-London Tit-Bits.

TERRIER AND THE LIONESS
Little Dog Braves Wounded Wild Beast and Saves Life of
 His Master

That victory is not always a matter of size or strength was pleasingly illustrated in the case of the dog that did his duty so effectually in the incl dent here related
 A man named De Beer had started early one morning for journey on foot in Matabeleland, leaving his boy to pack up and follow him. He had not gone half mile when he heard a growl and, turning, saw an immense lioness about fifty yards away and rapidly approaching. She was within twenty paces when he fired. The shot broke the beasts jaw.
 The second shot broke one of her legs. The third, fired just as she sprang on De Beer, missed altogether and the man was borne down.
 In a few seconds he was mauled and bitten and his left hand severely injured. There seemed little hope that he could escape alive, for his gun was out of reach and the lion, lying on him, prevented him from moving.
 But with De Beer was one compan- ion, a little terrier. The tiny animal flew bravely at the lioness' ear, got a good hold and hung grimly on. This made the brute shift little, and De Beer was able to reach his rife again with his right hand and shoot the lioness through the chest She fell dead on top of him, his left hand still in her mouth.

Ruthless Destruction of Books.


 Napoleon was indirectly responsible for the destruction of vast quantity of books. In 1872 he framed a law al lowing goods to be imported from the United Kingdom, provided that the importer shipped an equivalent quan- tity of French goods to this country. French merchants generally met the requirements of this law by shipping books to the value of the wares they wished to import. Having served to gain the necessary permit, the books were thrown overheard on the way to England, as there was no demand for them here. Shippers could we'll afford to do this, for coffee and sugar were then about ten times dearer in France than in England. It has been est1- mated that books to the nominal value of four million dollars were destroyed in this way.

THE LITTLE WIDOW A Mighty Good Sort of Neighbor to
 Have.

"A little widow, neighbor of mine, persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when my stomach was so weak that 1t would not retain food of any other kind" writes a grateful woman, from San Bernardino Co.,, Cal.
 T had been i'll and confined to my bed with fever and nervous prostra- birth of my second boy. We were in despair until the little widows advice brought relief.
 q liked Grape-Nuts food from the beginning, and in an incredibly short time it gave me such strength that was able to leave my bed and enjoy my three good meals a day. In 2 months my weight increased from 95 to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied down and I felt ready for anything. My neighbors were amazed to see me gain so rapidly, and still more so when they heard that Grape-Nuts alone had brought the change.
 My 4-year-old boy had eczema very bad last spring and lost his appetite entirely, which made him cross and peevish. put him on diet of Grape Nuts. which he relished at once. He improved from the beginning, the ec- zema disappeared and now he is fat and rosy, with a delightfully."- soft, clear skin. The Grape Nuts diet did it. will willingly answer all inquiries.

Rotorua has been laughing over the wording af notice that has been placed by the public works department on some of the electric wire posts on the road to Okere, in New Zealand.

 The town was at once plunged in darksess for two or three hours until the mischief had been located.

IT IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
 THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think of the suffering entailed by neglected skin troubles-mental be- cause of distiguration, physical be- cause of pain. Think of the pleasure of clear skin, soft, white hands, and good hair. These blessings, so essen tial to happiness and even success in life, are often only matter of a little thoughtful care in the selection of effective remedial agents. Cuticura Soap and Ointment do so much for poor complexions, red, rough hands, and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost so little, that it is almost criminal not to use them. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold everywhere, a postal to "Cuticura," Dept. 21 L, Bos- ton, will secure a liberal sample of each, with 32-page booklet on skin and scalp treatment.

COTTON CROP |S
 RECORD BREAKER
All But Four States Raise More of Staple Than Ever
 Before.
FIGURES BY GOVERNMENT
Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and
 Mississippi Did Not Raise E Bumper Crops.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Washington.-The greatest cotton crop on record, 14,SS5, ,000 bales, is the department of agriculture's off cial estimate Of the country's total production this year.
 This is greater by 1,477,000 bales than the record crop of 1904.
 Every state in the cotton belt ex- eept Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkan- sas and Oklahoma established new records for production.
 The total production of cotton in the United States for the season of 1911-t2 will amount to 7,121, ,000 pounds (not including linters), or 14,SS5,000 bales of 800 pounds, gross weight.
 Heretofore the record cotton crop was that of the year 1904, when 13,- 43S.012 bales (exclusive of linters) was grown. Other large crops were those of 1906, which was 13,27S, ,S09 bales, and 1908, when 13,241, ,799 bales were grown.
 In point of values, however, the crop of 1910, which was 11,60S,61 bales (exclusive of linters), was the record one, the fiber being valued at $S20 ,320,O0 and the cotton seed al $142 ,S60,000, total of $963, 0,000, as the aggregate value of the cotton crop of that year.
 Conditions early in the growing season this year led to the belief that the crop would be one of record proportions. First estimates of the yield based on the condition figures, placed the probable reduction well to- ward the figures if the biggest crops heretofore grown.
 The acreage on which cotton was planted this season was estimated by the department of agriculture to be B ,004000 acres, a greater area than ever before planted to cotton in this country. This vast area exceeded the previous record of acreage by more than 2,500,000 acres, there having been planted 32,444,00 acres in 1908 and 32,4O3,000 acres last year. In the record production year of 1904 only 30,O53,739 acres were planted.
