Cotton and Sheep.
It is a bad year tor agriculturisis
in the South; bad because they have
too much of their great staple, cot
ton. The immense crop has forced
the price down very low. Many of
• he cotton raisers mortgage their
crops, in advance to pay for grocer
ies and dry g mds. It is a bad plan
but it is a survival of the old times
that cannot be uprooted save
through misery and inconvenience.
Butt iis year the suffering pla it rs
may think seriously of the advice
that was given to them as far back
as 1843 by one r t their own
men
it was hat instead of runni; g
all the prod active energies of the
soil in > cotton and cotton a one,
they should diversity their produc
tions. F irst of all they , should go
into sheep raising extensively. The
South might as well vie with tne
North in the wool and n.ul on in
dustry. Sheep could bo raised at
| probably half tne expense they can
i in theX< rth. In many parts almost
1 no shelter at ail would be required
m winter. Food is a bundant.
The waste products of the cotton
crop could go into food for the
sneep. They Woubi, moreover,
give change and rest to worn-out
fie ds of the older cotton States.
Nothing could be worse than the
condition of many of the cotton
growers this year. Let them min
gle wool with ihoir cotton and see
i it the change will not be for the
i better. The census shows that this
| United States is becoming more
iand more a mutton eating country
j although there are proportionally
1 no more muttonheads than there
j ever were.—Cape Cod Item.
She is Dead Game.
Fannie Miller, deputy United
Stales marshal at Muskogee,
Indian territory, is one of the
bravest women in the West. She
was horn twenty years ago near
St. Joseph Mo., of respectable
parents named Johnson. W hen 4
years old she moved lo Sherman,
Texas, and at the ago of 18, in
company with an experienced
officer went to Mexico l<> aid in
ferreting out. the perpetrators of a
series of crimes along the border.
After two years of adventure she
married and moved to Talahaua, I.

A Cure for Bashfulness.
This is what one of rny girls has
written to rat: “I wish and pray
you could tell me liow to cure
ba.dduliness. People say not to
tnink ot yourself, but of others.
1 have tried that, but I cannot suc
ceed. 1 cannot take rny mind off
myself. 1 am always asking my
self if my hair ;s <<ui of curl, it my
clothes look pretty and a thousaud
other such questions. I cannot,
he p it i have tried and r:ed
but I am continually thinking
win tie r i am acting right speaking
right or looking, right.”
First to this girl must ho said
that when one is eighteen years old
1 on : should not say i “cannot” do
anything. She can it she will.
Suppose see thinks this. She says
she is considered pretty. What is
mere prettiness? She is not beati
ful; for a beatitu! woman, is seldom
vain. Very few people care wheth
er a gill’s hangs are out of curl or
not it her manners are pleasing and
she shows a desire to make others
enjoy themselves. Very few peo
ple care if a girl’s clothes are pretty
, or not it the girl is self conscious and
! stupid.
1 like a girl to want to look prob
ity—that is part of her duty in life
Put I want her just to remember
this: tiial beauty is the easiest thing
lost in the worldj vaniry will make
it offensive; iiiness will cause it to
vanish, and it goes with old age,
unless itio mint! and the heart have
been so cultivated that- the woman
herself is a joy forever. When this
is sol he good God lets her keep her
beauty
Try, my inquiring little girl, and
obliterate self. When you are
among people 1 <mt for the one
who is shy and pushful like your,
self; go to her, l»iik to her, and at
tel’a few pines limes you will find
chut it v.’dl become very easy.

the wave-theory. The fourth,

We are indebted to Steele for tio

expand su Id only and force the
air outward in every dir • i n
This hollow shell of condensed aii

Uation and a rarefaction, proceed
onward ” The transmission o: the
sound produced by a hell or tnn
* ing-tork is explained in nearly the
same way, tho only difference it
due to the a senee of gas, there
fore.it is supposed that the ai>
forms into spheres when the sound
ing body acts.
Tho next point tor us to notici i
the rate of transmission. It has
been asserlained that tho vel '.oily
! of sound depends on the ratio o
tho elasticity to t!e density of lb’
medium through which it pass< s

It is not astonishing to us cow.
that physicists who believe »m<1
accept the above supposition
would also maintain the hypothe
sis that a grasshopper kic.es tie
earth from him every time bo
jumps.
For the demonstration of t o
soundwaves, they have selecttd
the air, and the only rtasou w y
air was chosen is because it cu. not
be seen. We do not knou that
air is set in motion by s> uud, ..n 1
neither do they. Asserting that a
sound wave in air, must be an . r

that, a sound-wave in wood, inu.-t
be a wood wave, or, it in iron, an
iron wave.
