QUESTION REMAINS A PUZZLE
Unable to Tell Just What Country
First Found Value Of
Cotton.

Where did cotton originate? The
question comes up because Brazil
claims that 1t is indigenous to the
Amazon valley 1t is a fact beyond
dispute that cotton, from the earliest
ages of the world. has been grown in
China and for five to ten thousand
years the people Of that country have
worn cotton clothes. The same is
true of India There is no record of a
time when the people of India did not
wear cotton cloth, at least strip Of
it.
On the American continent the rec
ord is much shorter but equally as
positive. The first white men found
cotton cloth a regular dress of the
Indians of Mexico and the Indians of
Peru
1t is impossible to say where cotton
originated unless 1t was originated on
two continents. The lost Atlantis
may have connected the old world
with the new, and cotton may have
been carried from the new world to
the old, or it may have been brought
to America many thousands of years
ago. All in all we can see no reason
why Brazil should claim the distinc-
ton Of having originated cotton.
Neither Peru, Mexico, Persia nor Chi
ma would consent to that
Wool is the oldest of fabrics, cotton
is next and silk third.

THOUGHT NIGHT HAD PASSED
Tired Farm Hand Lost All Track Of
Time In His Brief but Evident
Iy Deep Siumber.

Even when you are wide awake it
is frequently hard to estimate the pas
sage of time. On one occa-ion you
find it hard to believe that several
hours have elapsed, and on another
the day may drag so slowly that the
clock seems to have shirked its duty.
While you are asleep the calculation
of time is, of course, almost impOssi-
BILE, as this incident, told by farmers
son at the corner store one rainy
morning, aptly illustrates:

IDENTIFY the poor fellow was tired from
tramping about the country, for he
went to bed Immediately after supper.
AS usual, father went down to the
cellar about $50 to throw some coal
in the furnace and adjust the drafts
for the night Evidently this made
enough noise to rouse the new hired
man, for mother, who was sitting be-
side the table in the dining-room, saw.
the stair door suddenly open and dis

HUM0R OF LITTLE CHILDREN
"What Do Angels Do With Their.
Wings When They Slee ~" Was
One Query Propounded.

A little girl once said to me: Are
there people on the moon?" l said /
didn't know, but that perhaps there
were, writes Hilda Cowham in the
Strand Magazine. We'll, what do they
do" she said, when there's only a
little bit? They must get very crowd
ed. Don't they?" Which was almost
as perplexing as the query put to me
by another little maiden, who asked:
What do angels do with their wings
when they lie down and go to bed?"
Very quaint was the idea OF little
girl who was once visiting a house
where small child had died recently.
She was asked to draw something. So
she drew grave with some flowers
on 1t. Her mother, on seeing 1t, said:
JAMIE. you mustn't do that; Mrs. -
wouldn't like 1t. You see, 1t reminds
her of very sad things" "oh, WELL"
said the child, perhaps 1t was
thoughtless Of me: but l can easily
turn it into a beehive" And she did,
with all the bees coming out.
Amusing. too. are these two pet"
stories. I once asked a little girl
where her pet dog was. She turned
and said to me: why, he's gone to
heaven. He's there now, with wings
and crown on his head
A little boy was once drawing ships,
and noticed that all his flags on the
boats were at half-mast l said:
why have you got all your flags at
half-mast on your drawing, Bobbie?"
"Oh," he said in hushed whisper,

Millennium! One way to bring

HAVE A SENSE OF MEMORY
Experiments Prove That Horses Are
Capable of Remembering Either
Pleasure or Pain.

The horse is generally considered a
stupid animal. and SO he is about
many things. But he certainly has a
mind of a kind. A correspondent in
the Glasgow, Scotland, News, tells of
an animal which conveys his majesty's
mails from the postoffice to the sta
ton, and he is actually capable of cal
culating particular runs.
1t is the practice of his driver to
lunch previous to taking away the
sixth load of mail and, being rather
deficient in molars himself, his horse
falls heir to the crusts of his masters
piece" Occasionally, for the delec-
tation of the staff, he endeavors to de.
part with the sixth load without eat
ing the lunch or handing over the
crusts; but his calculating horse can
not be induced, even with chastise-
ment, to leave until the customary
feed has been forthcoming.
The same animal on another run
enjoys delicacy in the form of ba-
mana skins at the station, and should
the supply of skins ever run out, let
tiers would be delayed.
Some horses show by their man
ners that they don't forget when they
have suffered pain from operations,
such as firing and docking.

ERA MARKED BY GREEDINEss
Present Generation Demands Too
Much Of Everything, ls the OpIn-
lon Of Woman Writer.

1T is the mark of our era to want
more or everything than we can use,
yet when we get the too much we de-
mand, we are crushed by it. as Tar
peia was crushed by the Shields"
writes Cornelia A. P. Comber in the
Atlantic.
81 have often thought that the
sheer. brute mass of life-of people to
know. of books to read, of plays to
hear, of pictures to see, of things to
do buy, learn, enjoy-within reach Of
the well-to-do person in the modern
world. far outruns the capacity Of any
human being to take it in and make
of it the sane whole that q life should
be-
"Yes-yet we go crafty on. trying
to expand to illimitable possibilities,
thinking we shall be happier SO soon
as we have discarded all our present
belongings and opportunities for big
ger, newer, richer ones. How many
people do you know who have not met
a substantial increase of income with
a corresponding enlargement of the
whole scale of living, senseless ex-
pansion sometimes outrunning their
increased ability to provide for it?
There Is no future but chaos for so
ciety with such ambitions. They are
centrifugal and can only lead to disin-
tegration."

Cure for Mosquitoes.

London people have discovered or
adopted, rather. an agreeable way to
keep their houses free from flies and
mosquitoes. They burn sandalwood,
which has a pleasant odor, but one
which is disliked by these summer
pests. The idea has been imported
from the ORIENT, where it has been
used for many years.
The sandalwood can be bought at al
most any Turkish or Japanese import
ing house. 1t is prepared for burning
by being cut up into pieces about half
an inch thick and three inches long,
and then baked or dried in slow oven
for twenty-four hours. A piece of the
wood is then lighted and placed In a
metal urn. After 1t has become well
afiame the flame is extinguished and
the red ember left to smolder until
1t is all consumed and only a small
heap Of fine gray ashes is left.

all the two hundred dollars he had
saved up to send long message to a

from the Walworth works offered a
small fortune for the valuable patent
they had tried to steal.
Again Annette stood at the gate as

soul tried to impart 10 him the emo

Something in her eyes held him,

The words seemed to sound the
death note to all the fond hopes Of
Burt Tyson. The pretty, peaceful
garden, the lovely maiden beside him,
great ambitions he had cherished
these suddenly appeared to change
from oasis sweetness to the dreary
barrenness of sterile desert.
1t was a certain pleading, longing
expression In the true, tender eyes of
Annette Saxter that checked Burt
from going away then and there. An
earnest touch Of her trembling hand
detained him
But you must not desert U.S." she
went on winningly. Surely we are
friends? My father has grown to
look for you and would miss you sore
ly. Oh, we are both of US so grateful
for all you have done for us!"

Burt in manly, honest way. Miss

"Oh, never that!" insisted Annette.
"Then-embarrass you. 1t would
have been sweet delight to me to
know that your interest in me would
urge me to build great dreams on my
small start in life. Perhaps some
dsy. later"
But Annette shook her head sor-
rowfully and murmured, You are so
worthy of some one stronger than
as guide and a helper. Please,
please"
Her eyes filled with tears and he
saw that he was giving her pain.
Manlike he wondered at it, manlike
he dio not read between the lines and
understand that her very interest in
him was the cause of her deep suffer
ing. and of repression and a sacri-
fee he did not fathom.

of step dancing, one night at Bal

had been taking lessons of an emf
nent dancing mistress, for little ex-
hibition of her art. Princess Henry
of Battenberg, chief musician on the
piano, at her mothers court struck up
a tune on the piano, and Miss Lam

queen, delighted, asked her at its
close to name something she would
like for a reward. Now the maid of

ceeded to devote all his time to the
Soul Dreamers." A climax came.
The specious head Of the cult made off
with all the funds Of the sect, includ-
ing $4,000. the last of Uncle Roberts
fortune. Uncle Robert came to the
little home he had rented for Jasper
and himself with a doleful face and a
more doleful story one afternoon.
They were paupers! Then he took
the train for Brampton. He returned
next morning.
Aunt Priscilla was abroad, brother
in-law Thompson had company and no
room for even relatives, Cousin Felix
had lost his all In speculation. The
old man looked pretty detected and
hopeless. AS Jasper noted his worn
anxious face his better self came to
the surface.
Uncle Robert" he said, Il want to
make confession that shames me-"
and Jasper told Of his motives in de-
clining the money. you have taught
me q lesson. The law business is
poor, and / shall have to seek other
work. All the same, this say from
my soul; you shall never want home
while can earn enough to maintain
one"
That night Jasper returned by mail
to Judge Stillwell the motto: Look
out for No. l." I'D rather be a man
than rich" he wrote. Your motto
makes the successful man miser and
the man who fails mean"
Then Jasper went to work at hard
labor. One day an automobile drew
up at the modest little cottage and Mr..
Davis called Jasper to the machine.

Eva leaned over and kissed Jasper,
and he knew that happiness and peace
and the contented mind were his.
