COTTON PRODUCTION.

By the report of the department of
agriculture it is shown that the cotton
production this year will be much smaller
than usual. 1t is possible that it will
reach the lowest point in 25 years, the
condition two weeks ago showing that
it was but $50 Of normal From the
survey made the department estimates
that there WIFI be less than $500. 900
bales this year, a decrease Of nearly s.
100000 from last year and only a little
more than half of that produced in
1914 the opening year Of the war.
This situation might cause much more
concern were 1t not for the fact that It
is just what has been undertaken. The
south is today full of cotton. 1t has
much more from last years crop than It
was able to dispose CT. This was recog
nized in advance with the result that
there was an organized effort made to
bring about a reduction of the cotton
L acreage. There were those who were
urging that the normal acreage be cut
at least a half The influence of that eff
fort has had its effect even though it
was not on as extensive a scale as plan
ned. Other factors which have contrib
uted to the poor outlook are the boil wee
vii and lack of needed fertilizers
But the outlook does not create as
great CONSERVATION in the south as II
might under different conditions. 1t
means that the carry over Is going to be
worked off in place of the seasons short
age, the object aimed at when the efforts
were made to bring about a curtaiIment
I of the acreage and the planting of other
crops. The surplus of cotton will be
balanced by the decrease this year while
the price Of the product seems likely tc
be more favorable to the grower than il
has been. It is not a condition which
would be welcomed for a period Of year.

Rat Heroes.

From Paris comes the news that
the authorities are making war on
rats. But the despised rat once did
the French good turn, according to
Colonel Repington's history Of the
war. He says: "On the parapets Of
the front trenches are what look like
window flower boxes. They contain
chemical materials for making smoke
screen to lift the German gas when it
comes. All the rats in the trenches
congregate round these smoke boxes
when the gas comes, as they realize
that they save themselves from suffo-
cation. This process Of lifting the
German poison gus was discovered
quite by chance. During a gas at
tack some straw was set on fire by ac-
cident and forced the German smoke
up. The rats came in swarms to squat
round the burning straw and gave the
French the hint"

Forests in Bohemia.

In the Bohemia lands (Bohemia,
Moravia and Silesia) the needle for
ests predominant. The pines and frs
cover 7S per cent of the forest area,
the leaf timber 81 per cent, and the
mixed about 1919 per cent. In Slova-
kfa and Carpathian Russia, the new
territories, it is noteworthy that the
ueaf forests prevail, forming about 81
per cent of the whole, and the needle
forests make up the balance, or 33
per cent. Ownership of these forests
is singular. The state owns about l.
100000 acres, charitable institutions
own. 100000 acres municipalities hold
2,500,000 acres and the large estates,
held by private owners, cover S,000,-
900 acres. 1t must not be taken for
granted that the extensive Czechoslo-
yak forests were given over to the
use of the whole people. On the con-
trary, all the benefits to be derived
enured to the foreign nobility and the
wealthy owners, when the mere walk
ing through one of these private for
ests was presumptive evidence of a
wrongful intent. OF the vast estates
held by individuals about 6435 per
cent of the whole in Bohemia were
owned in parcels larger than 1850
acres in extent, while minor holdings.
those less than 1850 acres in area
were held by the poorer classes.

CAN LIVE cHEApLY IN HAITI
Food Costs Little, and Tips for serv.
ices Rendered Are Hardly Worth
While Considering.

!, Labor and living are cheap in Haiti,
q There is hotel in Port au Prince,
rated as the best, that charges only
.S4 day for room and three square
meals.
True, the rooms are small, with the
Eancient washbowl, and unlockable,
with concrete floors and rugless, but
they are clean and comfortable.
The same meals could not be OBJ
Gained anywhere in the United States
at double the price. Luncheon is a
regular dinner and dinner is much like
an eight-course feast.
They never serve less than two or
three meats, when one, according to
the American habit, would be enough
There is fruit in abundance in Haiti,
and boy standing on the front porch,
overlooking the sea, often picks the
breakfast oranges.
The favorite dish is the chicken,
served 3G5 days in the year without
the least variation. Nobody ever
wants to see chicken after staying
three weeks in Haiti.
A Haitian boy, waiting faithfully
on guest for 81 meals. beams his
delight when tipped 8 gourdes, which
is 60 cents. The maid, whose chief
duty is to spread the mosquito net.
almost drops to her knees for the same
fee weekly. The boy who fetches the
water and fixes the shoes gladly slips
a man extra towels for 8 gourdes a
week.
Laundry at American rates would
cost more than room and board in
Haiti. if there were laundries. There
is much to go out from each room
daily to washerwomen, and it comes
back spick and span at nominal cost.
But Haiti has not reached the point
where it may bid for tourist travel.
A man, stopping at the best hotel here
for the first time feels rather foolish
when he asks for room and bath and
is conducted to a little house so feet
away, where he may get a shower.
It's hard life for women.
The best, however, is in sharp con.
trast with the worst, for the laborer
gets 20 cents a day, and thousands
of natives live only on fruit that grows
wild everywhere, the year round, like
the roses.

Face TELLS TRUTH.
Not InfrequentIy Reveals Ones
Calling to Observer.
Characteristic Look is Partly DeveI.
oped by Nature of Work Which
Is Individuals Occupation.

1t seems to be pretty we'll agreed
among those in position to speak
authoritatively that associated with
the various occupations in life there
is undoubtedly a type Of face which
more or less betrays the calling of its
owner.
Medical men, especially in hospital
practice. find acquaintance with these
types valuable. They may not be able,
with the shrewdness Of Sherlock
Holmes or of other acute persons, to
read q mans past, present and future
by q glance at him in the street, but
they are able to gauge with consider
able accuracy how far the history of
the case, as given by the. patient, is
truthful one, and how far it fits with
his probable occupation in life.
Calling must certainly have some in
fuence over the physlognomy of the
cabman, the butler or the groom. Each
frequently possesses a type of face
which wears SO characteristic an ex--
preston as to make it not difficult to
identify the vocation accompanying it.
We speak also Of the legal face. the
musical face, the dramatic face and the
military face: This is merely broad
classification, and the best authorities
disbelieve the claims of the keen OBJ
server that he can differentiate to a
finer degree.
There are tales Of hospital physi-
clans who claim to be able to say from
a glance at the face that this or that
man is a butcher, grocer. bank
clerk, lawyers clerk, commercial
traveller, stock broker, and so on.
It is thought that the fame of these
medical men as rough and ready de-
tectives has been largely manufac-
tured for them by enthusiastic friends.
But that many medical men do possess
great insight into the occupations Of
those who come before them is true.
The question is often debated wheth-
er physiognomy is a growth CT voca-
tion or whether 1t shows that the yo-
cation chosen is in accordance with
the particular capacity and ability Of
the person 10 whom 1t belongs. In
other words, if the lawyer does not
show the illegal face" the aspiring
minister the ecclesiastical face" the
medical student the "physicianly face"
the soldier the military face" the
question arises. Is that a sign that
they have mistaken their calling?
Is the man who doesn't look a bit
like a doctor" likely to fail because
his physiognomic qualification is want
ing? Or will he, whatever his original
features, gradually come to acquire
the type Of the profession to which he:
belongs?
The answer to the question is, Of
course, that both theories are right. A.
certain kind of face, the so-called
scientific face, is so often seen among
medical students as to prove that the
owner Of that cast of countenance Is
likely to adopt medicine rs a career.
Conversely, whatever the original cast
of features a medical man may have
possessed, the anxious, delicate and
absorbing work of medical practice
will put stamp upon them.
