MR. SHEPPERSON ON COTTON. He Looks for Better Prices after Awhile if the Farmers will Make It their Sur plus Crop and Raise -More Provi viona. At this time a year ago twenty mil lions of cotton spindles, being nearly five milliansmore than all the spindles of this country, were idle in Lanca shire, and yet the price of cotton was about 15 cents per pound higher in all the markets of the world than it is to day. The conditions in Europe have essen tially changed from last season and the European spinners are now doing an active business and consuming 2.5,000 bales of cotton per week irore than at this time last year. The present American cotton crop has been marketed with such rapidity that about 750,000 bales more have come into sight than of the previous crop at the corresponding period of last season. While our receipts have so greatly exceeded those of last season, yet our exports have been nearly a million bales greater than for the correspond ing period of last season, and the stock of cotton at the ports and in the erui merated interior towns is nearly 200,i 0 -vbiles less than a year ago. The bur ben of the larger crop movement has therefore been transferred from our 1 markets to those of Europe. It is the prevalent idea that there is more cotton in the world to-day than there was a year ago, but this is a fallacy, and the world's actual supply of cotton is no more than it was last year. The visible supply of cotton is S c about 225,000 bales more than at this time last year, and my friend, Mr. Elli son, of Liverpool, estimates the stocks held by the European mills as 6G,000 bales more than a year ago, making a the total excess of visible and invisible ? supply over last year about 290,000 r bales. In this calculation, however, ? no account is taken of the stocks held 1 by the American mills and there can 0 be no question but that our mills hold a at least 300,000 bales less than they g did at this time a year ago. This deficit 1 in the stocks of the American mills wipes out, the entire surplus of the vis ible and invisible supply. Since the beginning of this season the American mills have taken about 0 300,000 bales of cotton less than for the F corresponding time last season. The reasons for the inactivity of our wills are not far to seek. They ara in con sequence of the financial troubles of g last year and the depression in all a branches of business, caused by the uncertainty in respect to the legislation is of Congress upon the tariff question. The spring trade for the mills has been d practically ruined, and the outlook for h a good fall business is not encouraging,~ as the present fear is that the delay in p: Congress in its tariff legislation will bi seriously injure the fall trade. Should wise tariff legislation be promptly en acted, it is almost certain that our sjipiers would do a very active busi ness and would linliberal buyers of cot- k ton to the end of the season, because is the mills themselves hold exceedingly a small stocks of cotton and the mer- l chants throughout the country hold very limited stocks of goods. It must be evident, however, that S the mills will pursue their present a ---.__hand-to-mouth policy of buying cot totu.~ntil the matter of the tariff is ad-W juste . he stock of cotton in Liver- e pool is the est ever known, and this l fact must exerj depressing influenceT upon the market, gotwithstandinlg the fact that Europ r-is y5 larger than ever before. While the price of cotton is verylow, * and actually below the cost of produc tion in many sections of the country, yet the outlook cannot be regarded as favorable to a permanent advance in f the near future. The season for plant- ~ ing the new crop it fast approaching, Si and the probable extent of the acreage of the new crop will soon be a very im- c portant factor in the situation.T It seems to me that nothing could beT more unwise than an extension of cot- tW ton acreage by the Southern planters at this time, for nothing could 39sue ~y'fltO4eiW1ie iid toprevent j, 'with the revival of general business. Cotton is so-low now that manipula- c tion may easily cause temporary ad-1 .vance between now and the time for planting. Planters should not be de-T eeived by this, because it does not look t as if there could be any permanent ad-t: vance until present conditions are very tt essentially changed. Following the advice given by a dis- i fr lo fu i T VIOLENCE tr That is what the ordinary pills and b bowel medicines depend u.pon. That t explains why your system is in a S< worse condition afterward than s before. And that is the reason why Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the best things in the world for every stomach and bowel trouble. There's no reaction afterward, and their help lasts.

With p any others, somnething- else that pays se them better will probably be urged E as "just as good. Perhaps it is, for them; but it can't be for you. TUTs e r. Sae's Catarrh Reamedl. th, tinguished S'uthern Senator, (Hon. James Z. George, of Mississippi), jn an open letter to the Southern planters, published about a year ago, the plan ters of the South raised during last sea ?on a much larger proportion cf food products than for many years pre ious. The course of prices for cotton dur ing thisseason has fully vindicated the wisdom of this course, for had a larger acreage been given to cotton, it is cer :ain that values would have fallen even below the present low prices. Whatever expansion of acreage there may be at the South this Springshould e given to food crops, and cotton should be made a surplus or money ,rop, just as it is in India and in Egypt. I do not permit myself to doubt that he South will continue the policy so idopted last year and, therefore, I con idently look for better prices later on. ALFRED B. SHEPPERSON. EIORTGAGES ON FARMS AND HOMES. tatistics Showing Falsity of Certain Popu list Orators' Pet Phrases. [New York Sun.] A stock phrase with all Populist ora ers and Farmers' Alliance platform >uilders is "the debt-burdened homes nd farms of the people" loaded down >y mortgages aggregating nearly three >illion dollars. According to these ora ors the agricultural portions of the ;nited States are owned, pretty gen rally, by Eastern or alien money lend rs, who exact from the tillers of the oil a nearly usurious interest,which is apidly draining out the profits of the :trmers, and extending constantly the rea of mortgaged lands. Against this tate of things the Populist orators vig rously and continuously protest. There are 4,6.50,000 farms in the nited States. One-quarter of the irms in the United States are mort aged; three-quarters of the farms are wned free of encumbrance. The total 3ortgage debt resting upon the farms f the country is not "nearly three bil on dollars," but is actually $2,040,000, 00. The mortgages on farms are just bout one-half in value of the mort ages on city and town lots, and are icreasing in much smaller ratio. The iortgage debt on all land, city and )wn lots as well as farms, amounts to 110 per capita, wb.ich is less than the ational debt per capita of France,$116, r Peru, $145. The per capita debt of :olland is $95, of England $87; of Italy G, of Spain $73 and of the United tates $14. Mortgages upon farming .nds are always an incident of pro ress in newly developing countries Id, are, practically, one of the neces ties of development. A farmer open g up new land requires many things hich cannot be bought on credit at a stance, to ecure which he mortgages s land, the productiveness of which enhanced by the articles which the oceeds of the mortgage enable him to ly. Kansas stands at the head of the ates the land of which is heavily ortgaged. The total in the State is 70 per capita. In Minnesota it is S152, Massachusetts $144, and in Ne bras ?. $126, but the total in Massachusetts greatly increased, of course, by the ortgaged debts of Boston and other rge cities. Outside of these the mort tges are no heavier than in adjacent ates. In Maine it is $4!. per capita id in New Hampshire $50. This is x>ut the average in the older States, here the farmers are well supplied ith all the requirements of modern iltivation. In some of the States it is is, being $26 in .Alabama and $23 in annes%e. In some of tbe States the Er centage of mortgag~e'of farms is Wry small. In Wisconsin, for instance, ore than half of the farms of the State 'e owned, without mortgage, by those ho cultivate them. Taking the whole country through, e aggregate mortgage debt on all rms is not much more than 10 per rit. of their total value, and in some ates it is much less than this. The te of interest varies from 51 to 9 per nt. The average is about 7 per cent. 2e rate is highest in those States in bich the legal rate of interest is greater an in Eastern communities. The gai rate of interest is 6 or 7 per cent. most of the States, but in idaho, ontana, and Wyoming it is 10) per nt or more. The more the question farm mortgages is studied the more early it appears that a large number the claims of Populist orators are isubstantial and unsubstantiated. 2e income from land in every part of e United States is materially greater an the mortgage interest, and while is continues.to be so mortgages will popular, and nowhere more so than the city of New York. A Steamship on Lake Titacaca. [From the Chicago Record.] A triumph in engineering is reported >m the mountains of Peru, where a rin screw steamer of 540 tons, 170 feet og and 30 feet wide, has been success Ily launched on Lake Titacaca, the ghest navigable waters in the world, ore than 13,000 feet above the sea. iis steamer, which belongs to the Pe vian government. and is to he used r freight and pas.se.ger traflic, was ilIt on the Clyde, then taken apart in ore than a thousand pieces, and ipped to Mollendo by sea.

Physicians Pre scriptions and Remedies Fail. Lost All Hope of Cure. Thought Himself DISFIGURED FOR LIFE Cuticura Removed Crusts at Once. Disease Entirely Gone In One Month. Now No Trace. Skin Smooth. For more than fifteen years I was effected with running Tetter on my face and scalp. Various prescriptions and many remedies were furnished, being afterwards treated by many physicians, and all to no avail. I had lost all hope of ever being cured, and concluded that I was disfigured for life. A friend persuaded me to give the CUTiccaA RE.EDIES a trial, which I did in this way: Taking the CUTICURA RE soL VEST two teaspoonfuls after each meal, bathed the effected parts in warm water with CiTcURs SOAP, and applied the CUTIcURA freely until the crusts were all removed.

PRECIOUS STONES, Where They are Found. Their Values, and Their Signifleauce. The best opals come from Hungary. Black pearls are the most valuable, then pink :and yellow, then white. Pearls are steadily increasing in price; they cost three times as much as they did ten years ago. A pearl which could have been bought for $1,000 in 1884 is now worth $3,000. The American turquoise is the best. In value this lovely blue jewel ranks below the diamond, ruby, or sapphire, but its popularity as a ring ornament never wanes. The Persian turquoise fades when exposed to light and turns a dull green. Blue is the favorite color of the Persians. Every jewel has a peculiar signifi cauce. Each is a favorite in a cer tain month of the year: Tanuary-Gar net, constancy. February-Amethyst, sincerity. March-Bloodstone, cour age. April-Diamond, innocence. May-Emerald, success in love. June Agate, health and long lffc. July Cornelian, contentment. August-Bar donyx, matrimonial felicity. Septem ber-Chrysolite, antidote against mad ness. October-Opals, hope. Novem >er-Topaz, fidelity. December-Tur juoise, prosperity. The value of precious stones pro dueed in the United States last year was $.300,000. The export of diamonds 'rom South Africa averages annually about $20,000,000. There are 2.5,000 iamond diggers employed there. A iamond is a crystal of pure carbon, and as such is safe from injury by aids. It is very brittle; few precious ewels are more so. Only one pure lood red diamond has ever been ound. The topaz is nearly transparent. Tbe yellow topaz comes from Saxony, hbe white from Siberia, the pale blue from Bra,zil. False topaz is yellow uartz. Chrysolite, too, is often used to imitate topaz The topaz was once >ne of the most popular of precious tones in fashionable use, but it has de lined much of late years in the public stimate of its beauties. These are the weights given by a tatistical authority, of the six largest known diamonds: Koh-i-noor, 103 arats; Star of Brazil, 12,5; Regent of France, 136; Austrian Kaiser, 130; Rus sian Czar, 103; Rajah of Borneo, 367. The red variety of garnet is the most common, but violet, green, and white garnets are not altogether rare. Bohe :ian garnets are dark blood red in color, and in the largersizes are very valuable. Ciunamon rubies, so-called, are garnets. Except in col"r, the sapphire is the same stone as the ruby, but less rare. When of fine quality it is as valuable as a diamond of the same size. The cboicest. shade is blue. The breastplate or the High Priest, as described in the forty-ninth chapter of Exodus, was made o)f gold, blue, pur >le;an'd scarlet.

In the second row there was an emeral, a sapphire, and a ruby. In the thid row there was an agate and an amethyst. In the fourth row waa a beryl, ac onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in ornamental work of gold, the girdle being held together by strands of linen. The ruby is, next to the diamond, the most valuable of precious stones. The most popular is "pigeon's blood." The color varies from rose to crimson. The ruby, jewellers say, is extensively imitated. The Brazilian ruby is a to paz; the Cape ruby is a garnet. The true ruby will scrach either of them, and may be thus distinguished. Under the McKinley bill the taritf on pearls is 10 per cent. On other stones, cut but rot set, it is 10 per cent. Articles of jewelry composed of pre cious stones or imitations, whether with coral or pearls or with dia monds, rubies, or cainoes or imita tions, are taxed 50 per cent. The for mer rate was 25 per cent. Four thousand tons of gold have been used in the present century, it is com puted, by jewellers and decorators and for table utensils and ornamentt,. The amount of silver used for the same purposes in the same period is com puted to be 25.000 tons. The amethyst, or violet stone, as it was once called, is no longer popular. Emeralds are of two kinds, the emerald of the corundum family, which is a green sapphire. and the pure ordinary emerald, which is the best known. Emeralds as ornaments have had a great access of popularity of late, and now occupy the place in fashionable regard once held by amethysts. Opals under waterare transparent. Precious stones are more generally in use iu the United States than in any other country, though the most valuable separate stones are to be found in Europe.

TR UE CO., Box 400, nuanstn3 Maian When a Woman Loves. When a woninu loves a man she lives for him, writes Ed ward W. Bok in the Ladies' Home Journal. From the moment she awakens in the morn ing until she closes her eyes at night a loving wife's thoughts are of her hus band. All day she performs her duties with the thought of his pleasure upper most in her mind, and his image in heart. Nearly every thing she does is with the thought of him. If she puts a dainty touch to a room she instinc tively wonders what he will think of it when be comes home. If she buys an article in the shops that he will see, close be-ide her own preference for it is the thought whether he will like it. When she plans the dinner his tastes are regarded first. What he would like best is her constant thought. She dresses her children having in mind a little suggestion or thought which he may have dropped days, yes, even months ago. His color becomes her color; his taste her taste. And even if she does not personally approve of a certain thing she buys it or she does it because she feels or thinks it will please him. Scores and scores of times have I seen wives lay aside their own pre ferences willingly and cheerfully be cause their husbands liked something else better. His coming home is to her the event of the day, and it is her pleasure to pre pare for it in some way. No matter how tired the head and bow ill the body during the day, she tries to look cheerful when her husband comes home. She feels that she has some thiug to dress for as his bome-coming bour approaches. She likes to lay asice the house-gown she has worn all day and done a fresh dress for his coming. It is a pleasure to wear the gown for which, at some time or other, he may have expressed a preference; or it may be in dressing of her hair in the way which she knows he likes best; in the wearing of a flower he likes to see on her, or with which there may be some tender recollection in a little touch which she deftly gives the table; in some favorite dish of hers prepared by her own hand; in the inviting manner in which his house coat and slippers are placed ready for his donning, in the convenient spot in which he finds his evening paper, his cigar ready for his enjoyment; in short in the thousand touches which only occur to a woman who finds her delight in the pleasure which she can give the man she loves.
