MORE OU FROM COTTON SEED. By the Use of Certain chemicals the Last Traces of Oil May be Got ten from the Cotton Seed Meal. News and Courier. Columbia, September 6.-The rapid prgres made by cotton seed oil in establishing ifself in the marlets of the world as a food produet fias ,re moved from the market a gr' at iol ume of this oil that was heretofore used for soap ou account of its low pice. Considerable more oil could; be ex:.raeted frm the cotton seed if a suitable solvent were used to remove the last traces of oil which are now left in the cotton seed meal and which it is impossible to remove by the methods for the manufacture of an edible oil. A recent discovery has been made by chemists which will do away with carbon bisulphide for ex tracting the oil from the meal. The bisulohide renders the oil unfit for edible use and is extremely combusti ble. For this reason only one or two such plants have been established. The new process contemplates the use of carbon tetrachloride, which is a better solvent and is non-inflamma ble. If all of the cotton seed meal were treated with this solvent it would increase the yield of cotton seed oil about 15 per cent and not af feet the value of the meal as food for eattle. The advance made by hte oil mills in economic manufacture has been very great in the past five years, but it is something along this line that is needed to bring about the maximum production of oil from the seed. It has not yet been demonstrated wheth er the oil extracted by tetrachloride will be suitable for edible purposes, but this oil would at least be used by the soap makers to take the place of the better gi-ades of oil which they have been using in the past. Cotton seed oil is now recognized the world over as one of the staple oils for human consumption and the world took during, the past season ev ery gallon of oil that was inanufac tured and there is now no stock of oil with which to supply immediate demands. the result being high prices for oil for Septembe,r delivery. THE REAL IRELAND. Some Interesting Facts About Her People and Resources. Outlook. The accepted Irish type of the mas ses-the stage Irishman--may be amusing, but he smacks also of indol enee, thriflessness. a tendency to drink and even a lack of certain pri mary virtues. Foi-tunately, these failings are not characteristic of the Irish people as a whole. In every quarter of the globe Irish men and women have showni themselves hard workers; if they have not displayed the same energy at home it is because of the general aricultural 'oppression and depres sion, because of insanitary dwellings and insufficient food. As to drink, contrary to the general supposition, the Irishman spends a less average on it than does the Eng lishman or Scott, moreover, the Irish man spends more on beer than spirits, the contrary being true of the Scot;. Furthermore, and even more suir prising to many statistics show the Irish to be less criminally inclined than are the inhabitants of Great Britain: in particular, as to sexual morality, the stranger in Ireland -is invariably surprised by the rectitude of the people. In 1841 Ireland's population was estimated at 8,100.000; in 1901, at 4.400000. Thus in sixty years the po pulation fell by nearty 4,.000.O America has won wrhat Trelandl has lost. But this is not all. Quality as well as quantity is involved. The emigrants have generally been in life's full vig or: most of those who have remained away have beeni physically, mental lv and industrially deficient. Meanwhile the buraen of taxaction has enormously increased. It is sur prising, then, that, with the excep tion of France, Ireland's birth rate should be now the lowest in the world'? A veritable soldier of fortune was Gen. Fransieo Sandoval. the report of whose death in Guatemala is con firmed.

Smoker's are frequently tempted to increase their consumption of to bacco, in proportion to the extension of leisure at command. Smoking ex erts a special fascination when it may be indulged in every moment through out the day. The temptation has al ways been found difficult to resist, when it besets a man who is on holi day bent. The mere absence of re strictions tends to induce pleasure I seekecs to be more free than they oth erwise wculd. The two grounds upon which smok ing is condemned which appear wor thv of serious consideration are the poisonous action of the nicotine and the usei,.as expenditure entailed. Let 11s tke the latter objection first. That tobacco is a necessity ,for health an1 happiness no sane person would ?ver contend. All that its most devoted friends can claim is that smoking is an- expensive lux ury. A luxury, in fact, that affords an amount of enjoyment out of all proportion to its triffing Cdst. More serious harm results from lack of self-control with regard to dietary than is ever likely to follow from even an excessive use of tobac co. Indeed, there is not a single thing we enjoy, though it be perfectly right and lawful in itself, that is not eqully open to some similar objec tion. Perhaps the strongest argument suppose$ to tell against the smoker is ba.ed up:wn te o:oncus action of nicotine vshen i has ?intered .he cireulatory system. This intoxica tion has never been disputed, for it inevitably follows a too extravagant consumption of tobacco. Yet it is only when te smoking is exces.vc that any baneful influence is exerted on the healthy body. Exactly the same kind of toxic properties that non-smokers ascribe to tobacco abtach to other vegetable n1ro'fths in common and daily use. Now, what are the conditions so frequently described as the direct outcome of excessive smoking? They are but two in number. (1) An alter ed rhythm in the beating of the heart; and (2). an impairment of vision, n~h'(dh :.educe the power of distin vuishing colors. These conditions are never brought aout uinkss the smoking has been carried to unwarrantable excess. When either of them is detected, either by the physician or the smok er him:self, there ~a.p5e warning to put a man on his guard. If he is prmpted to reduce his consumption o tobacco. or I > abandon smoking al together. the trouble soon clears up, anI no permanent injury is the least lkelv to ensue. The late Prof. Huxley once wrote, I Tc.re is no more harm in a pipe than there is in a cup of tea. You may poion yourself by drinking1 too mu.1. tea, or kill yourself by eating too maniy beefsteaks." Dr. Lancaster said: "I dare not as a physiologist or a statist tell you, that there exists any proof of an in jurious influence (of tobacco) when used in moderation. The first symp toms of giddiness, palpitationi, indo lence or any uneasiness while smok ing should influence you to lay it of course, whether at home or on holiday, if a man stub:ornly persists Iin smoking after it shows signs of disagreement, he must expect to have to pay for it. If a man who ordinar ily smokes, say, two ounces a week doubles or trebles this quantity as a holiday pleasure. then his smoking lays him open to serious risks. On the Other Hand. Chicago Tribune.
