Female HeroineS

1t is painful to note that new Car

might infer from this that heroism
is exclusively male characteris-
tic. Fortunately, it isn't so. AZ
fact most women have to be heroes
to get through this world at all.
They do things right along which
would make q man famous. Some OF
them exhibit constant herOism by
living with men who ought to be in
Jail or in the tomb. But aside from
such considerations, women have
done their share in every branch OF
heroic effort 80 far as opportunities
opened.
To the credit OF women be il said
that they do not advertise their high
virtues. make no effort to get APP
| plause or rewards. They live their
life as il comes to them and are con
tent so long as their own loved ones
are safe. Self-sacrifce is muct
more common in women than II

VALUE TO THE SOUTH
OF THE COTTON CROP
Of Greater Productive Power Than
Gold and Silver Mines

The cotton fields of the South have
a greater productive power than all
the gold and silver mines of the
world combined. This royal posi-
tion is proved by some figures given
in the Manufacturers Record. Ac
cording to the director of the mint,
the gold mines OF the world in the
eleven years, l900-l9lO, produced to
the value OF more than 81, 600, 600, 600.
In the same period, the South pro-
duced cotton crops that, with the
seed, totaled in value 80, e34, 000, 900,
or nearly twice as much. During
these years the silver bullion output
OF the world was 81, 156, 229, 507, so
that the cotton from the South was
worth $2,S43, 299, 493 more than all
the precious metals of the world.
In the thirty-two years, 1880 1911,
the United States exported mer-
chandise to the value Of $50, 947, :
500, 688, and of this nearly % per
cent, or $9,l2l, 639, 800, represent
ed the income from raw cotton
alone. To this should be added the
sums represented by exports Of cot
tonseed products, and manufactured
cotton goods aggregating about
$75, 900, 900 annually.
These almost incomprehensible
figures indicate the fundamental i'm
portance of the cotton crop in the
worlds commerce and finance
They suggest one reason why the
South is destined to be one OF the

Vegetarian Dishes Desirable for Hot

Fannie Merritt Farmer, editor of

mans Home Companion, writes an
article in the June number en-
'Toothsome Vegetarian Dishes"

cipes. Following is an extract
from her article, and one OF her re-
cipes:
"A number of vegetarian dishes,

SEAL OF CONFEDeRACY
RECOVERED At LAST
The Relic Taken from Richmond on
Evacuation in 1865

Evacuation in 1865
Tho Great Seal of the Confederate
States OF America, the existence of
which has been shrouded In mys-
terry for nearly half a century, has
been acquired by Eppa Hunton, Jr..
William II. White and Thomas p.
Bryan, and brought back to Rich
mond, the old capital OF the Conted-
crate States of America
After having been fully identified
by the English makers, it is to be
placed in perpetual custody of some
public institution in this city for
preservation as the most enduring
and sacred relic, being the emblem
OF sovereignty of that government
which, though lasting but four
years, has written its record high
on the page OF history.
The story OF tho removal of the
seal from Richmond aud it's preser-
walton through many years, with
every person acquainted with its
whereabouts pledged to secrecy by
the most solemn Masonic oath, has
been unearthed from the volNmi-
nous records of the Library of Con-
gress in Washington, and the seal
itself was located in possession OF
Rear-Admiral Thomas o. Selfridge,
| u. S. N, retired. now living in
Washington, who readily agreed TO
part with it for a consideration, eX
pressing his approval OF plan for
bringing it back to Richmond and
it's perpetual preservation in some
suitable institution. The seal is now
in the vault of the Jefferson Hotel,
and has been carefully examined
by many persons. and bears every
indication of its genuinenesS.
Its production at this time forever
sets at rest the weird story told by
James Jones, the colored cOachman
of President Jefferson Davis, that
the Great Seal was in his possession,
and an equally unauthorized rumor,
which was widely current at the re-
> union, that the key to the mystery
- which surrounded the existence OF
the seal was said to be in the cornC.-
, stone Of the Confederate monument
t in Macon, and there were even sug-
. gestions that the stone be removed
j in order that the relic might be
e traced.
G The fact now appears to be fully
authenticated from original records
