Maxims for Success.
Probably there is, to the boy
just beginning his life work, no
word so full of magic as success.
Magazines and periodicals pay
large sums to leading men in all
departments of work, for papers
telling how they won their places
and what are the chances for
young men of to-day. Every
where one finds mottoes, maxims,
rules, the observances of which
is warranted to bring the coveted
reward. Perhaps as fine a set of
maxims for business as was
ever complied is the one quoted
below:
Have a definite aim.
Go straight for it.
Always know more than you
are expected to know.
Remember that difficulties are
only made to be overcome.
Treat failure as stepping stones
to further effort.
Never put your hands out far
ther than you can draw it back.
At times be bold; always pru
dent.
The minoity often beats the
majority in the end.
Make good use of other men’s
brains.
Listen well; answer cautiously;
decide promptly.
Preserve by all means in your
power “a sound mind in a sound
bodv.”
After all, is it not always writ
ten in one word, character?—Ex.
COTTON PRODUCTION
As Obtained from Dinner*’ Report*.
One of the most reliable sources of
Information for the United States cen
sus office concerning the production
«f cotton la found In the reports of the
cotton glnners.
Many will be surprised to learn that
the cotton ginned from the growth of
1901, exclusive of Haters, amounted
to 11,078,882 running bales, equivalent
to 10’, 020,946 bales of 500-pound stand
ard, or counting round bales, $10,588,-
250.
The average crop, exclusive of lint-
era, for the past four years has been
9,902,277 bales of 600 pounds and the
excess over these figures of the crop
of 1902, Is 728,688 bales. The great
falling off In production west of the
Mississippi owing to crop failures In
Texas, was more than offset by the
Increase In other states, both east and
west of that river. The states show
ing the most notable Increase were
Arkansas, Georgia, Louplsiafta and
Mississippi.
The value of the entire crop of 1902
la estimated at $501,897,354, making
It the second crop of the United
8tates In value, with corn first send
wheat third. The value of raw cotton
exports for the same time Is $290,661,-
819, giving that article the first rank
among American exports. Now here la
a fact that our farmers should heed.
The export price for 1902 was about
one cent per pound less than that of
1901. This shows the Importance
of guarding carefully against over-pro
duction, or, at least the necessity of
having some other paying crop to
come to the rescue, if the price of
cotton should, by reason of an un
usually large crop, fall below the point
of profit.
It Is to be hoped that the marvelous
growth of the cotton factories and
cotton seed oil mills of the south will
by their Bteadlly Increasing demand
for the -raw product of our fields pre
vent any possible recurrence In the
future of the ruinous low prices that
once prevailed.
The quantity of short cotton saved
to the commercial world by the regin-
nlng of cotton seed for oil extraction
Is annually increasing.
The southern farmer can congratu
late himself that he has 1 ncotton one
of the greatest money crops In the
•world; and the Georgia farmer has ad
ditional reason to be happy in the fact
that his home is in one of the fore
most states of the great south—now
the mpst progiessive and rapidly ad
vancing section of the greatest nation
of the oarth!

What May Be Eaten With the Finger*
Avoiding to Rule* of Etiquette.
There are a number of things
that the most fastidious and well
behaved persons now cut at the din
ner table without the aid of either
knife, fork or spoon. The following
are a few examples; -
Olives, to which a fork should
never be applied.
Asparagus, whether hot or cold,
when served whole, as it should be.
Lettuce, which should be dipped
in the dressing or a little salt.
Celery, which may properly be
placed on the tablecloth beside tho
plate.
Strawberries when served with
the stems on, as they usually are.
Bread, toast, tarts, small cakes,
etc. *
Fruits of all -kinds,- except, pre
serves and melons, which are eaten
with a spoon. •
Cheese, which is almost invari
ably eaten with * the fingers by the
most particular.
Either the leg or other small
pieces of a bird. Ladies at most of
the fashionable luncheons pick
small pieces of chicken without us
ing knife or fork.
Chipped potatoes are gcnc'rully
eaten with the fingers by epicures.
There must be no particle of fat ad
hering to the chipped potatoes, and
they must be crisp.—Delineator.
Onions For Cold.
It is claimed that a bad cold can
be broken up by the patient remain
ing indoors and indulging in a lib
eral diet of onions. It need not be
un exclusive diet, but it must be
a liberal one. An onion cure break
fast includes a poached egg on toust,
three tablespoonfuls of fried onions
and coffee.
Luncheon of sandwiches made of
brown bread buttered and filled
with finely chopped raw onions, sea
soned with salt and pepper, makes
the seaond meal on the schedule.
For dinner the onions may be fried
and eaten with a chop und baked
potatoes.
‘ Onion sirup is claimed by some
jo be unequaled as a cure for a bad
cold in the head.

ounces of almonds, and when cold

powder, four ounces of butter, one
egg, ope separate yolk and the peel

corners,- or if flowers are used for
u centerpiece the ribbon is employed

bons or candied fruits give the table
a festive air not usual with the more
formal dinner, and toothsome sand
wiches may be served with cer
tain courses, particularly the salad
course, instead of plain bread or
dinner rolls.

sages and the cough disappears.
