The cause of the low price of cot ton is agreed to ou all sides as a con sequence of an immeuoe increase of acreage during tho past year. Ma ny tunauts, us well as landlords, are holding their cotton for better pri ces Now let the edict go forth from tho highest aliianeo authorities in the Southern States to (iff the sub- allianccs urging that the acreage in ootton for the present year bo re ducod at least 15 to 20 per cont., and the acreage in food crops be propor tionately increased. A combined action of this sort would be almost certain to raise the price of cottoo from two to four cents per pound by tho first of May, and every farmer who can hold his cotton this loDg would get tho advantage of it. It would of course raise the price for tho present year in proportionate degree. This is a work which the alliance only can perform, and that it can perform it successfully, provided it considers this course a remedy for tho present low price of cotton, whioh is ruining the farmers of the country, there is no question in the minds of those who are familiar with its workings. Franco is suffering as much as Ger many from the overcrowding of the learned professions. Fifteen thou sand schoolmistresses, 7,000 primary schoolmasters, aud 500 high school instructors are looking iu vain for employment.

An American traveling in Egypt writes from Luxar, that he there sees daily naked native ploughing with a sharp slick plow drawn often by camels, sometimes by one camel and a donkey, or cow, hitched togetb er. And this is the country where ootton is grown in competition with our southern staple. There seems to have been do improvement in plows there sinco the days of the apoBtles. Editor John M. Stahl advocates the rolling of land ns tho greatest importance in the cultivation of good crops. Ho claims that it is a well known fact that the ground holds moisture longer after being rolled and as this is one of nat lire’s most valuable gift, to growing crops, it would seom that tho land roller is a most valuable implement, and a very necessary one on the farm.

Thus dogs and cats in civilized homes eat corn and oatmeal, while cows Iceland will eat salt fish as a steady diet, thuugli neither of theso animals ould eat such food in tho ordinary natural slate. Proceeding to tho subject in hand, Profossor Morse cited tho finding of baked cakes with tho Egyptian mum mies as evidence of tlio antiquity of cooked food, and of tho universal prim itive fashion among savage or primitive peoples of cooking food in vessels resting on three rounded stones, which man very early found out were better than four. This method -was employed by tho North American Indians, tho Esqui maux, the modem Finns, and even by tho Irish in tho Seventeenth century. Another rnothod employed was tho cooking of meats in baskets of water with hot stones. Somo tribes of the North American Indians cooked com, grosshopixjrs, und perhaps othor delica cies by placing them in clay lined bask ets, with rod hot coals, and shaking tho baskets buck and forth and blowing off tho ashes and cinders till tho contents were done to what tho Indians probably considered u tarn. ESQUIMAU HUTS. Tho kitchens of New Zealand and Coy- Ion are hut rough primitivo forms of many that are seen in Germany and Eng land, except that in tho farmer cases the fires are out of doors. English and German fireplaces are far behind tho American stovo und cooking l-augo, and are really survivals of prehistoric times though the hcurtlis for tlio fires aro raised and arrangements made for tho escape of tho smoko. Succeeding the period of placing pots on three stones over tho fire comes their suspension by some support, a familiar method being by means of throe sticks fastened together at tho top. The Esqui mau suspends his kettle from the ceiling of his ice hut by means of cord or hide. And here the lecturer departed from his subject to describe how the hut is built— spirally, with blocks of ioo aud of dorno shape. The hut is lined with sldns, bo that what littlo of tho ice melts wUl not drop down on tho occupants in the form of water. Theso huts are warmed by open crude oil lamps, in which is moss saturated with oil, and over them are suspended the kettles. Tho oil comes from tho blubber of tho whale, seal and similar animals, and is obtained by tho* women and childrou, whoso principal business it is iu tho winter time to chew blubber to gut tho oiL Under tho hut there is usu ally a largo supply of blubber Btored for winter use. Professor Morso describes tho stoves of China and Jupau, and showed two patterns of what appeared to bo eartlion- waro portable stoves, about the size of bean (lots. Other stoves aro rough clay or brick affairs, with openings for wood and varying numbers of holes on top for the accommodation of cooking utensils, and none have arrangements for tho di rect escape of the smoke out of doors. KAltLY METHODS OF CIETTINO FIRE. Some of these eastern stoves have shrineB or symbols over the fireplaces to keep out evil spirits, aud in some of them a light is kept burning, or a little food or some other trifle placed by way of in voking tho care of somo good spirit over the food that is to bo cooked. In closing, the lecturer had something to say about primitivo modes of creuting aud preserving fire, followed by some in teresting experiments with crude appli ances. The origin of fire is not known, nor its first discoverer, but tho discovery must have been followed by u tremendous Btrido of advancement by tho human mcc. Probably fire was first used ns u religious rite, and by many savage nations it lias been worshiped as a god; after that it was probably used for cookiug, and then for other purposes. Some peoplo nover learned the art of making fire, but took good care never to be without it. Emin Pasha, whose rescuo from tho heart of Africa Stanley sought, vouches for wondrous tales in that region to the effect that in somo sections of Cen tral Africa bands of chimpanzees occa- siouaUy raid tho native villages with lighted torches. Professor Morse illustrated three meth ods of starting fires—ono by rubbing a piece of bamboo with a Sharp edged stick; another by rubbing a stick in a groove on a pieco of wood, and a third by means of a firo drill. None of those methods brings a direct blaze, but will produco u spark from which a fire may be brought by coaxing with tinder. The fire drill was the most successful of the experiments A this occasion, and was ac companied by considerable smoke, but. no firo. The drill is a simple arrange ment of wood and cord, by which a stick is kept rapidly revolving on a pieco of wood, and in a fraction of a minute cre ates smoko and sparks.—-Salem Gazette.

Burns, nn eye witness of tlio wrecking of tho three masted scltoo- j ner A. H. Hurlburt, of Gloucester, tells I a thrilling story of tho battle of tho ves- | sel’s crew for life. She was trying to make Newport fora lmilior, but, being unable to accomplish this, dropped an chor at noon about a quarter of a milo off shorn Sho dragged her anchors and struck Black Point about 4 o’clock, and in twenty minutes was kindling wood. The crew consisted of six men. Three were drowned, including the captain, and throe were saved. Every man of them tv us on tho rocks at one time, and tho captain and steward were swept away when but five feet from shore. It was nn awful struggle for life between these six men anil tho merciless waters. Burns tells the story thus: Black Point, where the vcbscI struck, is three miles south of tlio Casino. It is a mass of rock which juts boldly from the short., but descends into a sharp pointed reef with jagged protruding edges at its farther point. It is not ono solid body, for the action of tlio waves lias worn wide and deep crevices in it, where tlie water Conus in pools. Oil tho north sido it forms a sort of cove, whero tho sea in a gale has full sweep. 1 have charge of tlio cottage of 8. 8. Rogers, of Buffalo, where 1 live with my family, and which is about a quarter of a milo from Black Point on tho bluff. I was informed about twenty minutes to 4 by Sam Kissoutli, who lives near by, that u schooner was going on tho point. Ho immediately rushed out, and was on tho bluff about fifty yards from tho rocks when the schooner, drifting broadside on, struck. The wind was blowing sixty tittles au hour and the sleet and hail cut into tlio face liko needles. WRECKED BY WAVES. 1 was quickly on tho shore. The vee- sel was scarcely 100 feet uway, and was right on top of tho sharp rocks, which wore exposed by each receding wave. The men were plainly visible, huddled together, hanging on to tho house at the stern of the schooner. At fivo minutes to 4, fifteen minutes after she struck, the mizzeumust toppled over with a crash that was heard above the other noises, and tho muinuiast and tlio fore mast quickly followed. As the fore mast went over tho side the vessel split in the middle, aud the cakes of ice with which sho was loaded came ixiuriugout. As the vessel }>arted the men jumped for the rocks. They nil landod. Young Lawrence, a mere boy, ouly 18 years old, was the lust to jump. Ho never reached tho shore. Tho mate. John Rooney, as quickly as ho could, throw off his lx*its and overcoat. His fore thought saved his life. Tho cuptuiu, the mate aud tho steward, Frank Ham mond, kept together. While Bernard Wels.-rs and another seaman -named Kuna triod to work their way over to ward tlie south end of tho roof, the others went straight ahead and more toward t ho north side, whero tho sea had full sweep. 1 had run down to the shore while Kissoutli had gone after another man named Rowley. When they got to t'uo scene the yessel was in pieces and tlio tuen struggling for their lives. I sta tioned myself toward tho south sido, aud beckoned and gesticulated for the men to come that way. 1 yelled also, but 1 could hardly hear my own voice. The group of three and tho young sailor, however, kept right on. The sea was dashing over the rocks with terrific force, every wave completely submerg ing them. Tho holes and crovices were filled with water, and through these the men waded or swam, clinging to tho rockweed or tlio slippery rocks as each wavo struck them. WASHED AWAY. Young Lawrence had scarcely covered twenty-five feet of the distance when a wave struck him und ho disappeared. He whs tlio last to leave tho vessel and tho first to drown. Kissoutli und Row- loy hail now arrived, and Webers and Lund, who had crawled and swum iu, were hauled ashore, while I ran over to the other side, toward whioh tho cap tain, mate und steward were struggling. Tho mate hud caught hold of a cake of ice and was endeavoring to keep afloat ou it. hut soou let go. It was only five minutes since they had left the ship, but it seemed un ago to the men on shore who were watching the brave struggles of the unfortunate Bailors. Inch by inch they fought their way along the treacherous, slippery rocks, holding on for their lives in the crevices and by the weeds when the big breakers dashed over them. As the waves receded I would rush down the slippery rock on which 1 stood in tlio vuin hope that they would get near enough for nut to scizo them. The min utes teemed like hours, but still the men held ou. Now they are within ten feet, but tin- other wave breaks over them. If 1 had had a ten foot rope 1 would havo saved them all. The suspenso was awful as the men, with their drawn faces and shut teeth, held on and looked toward the refugo so near them. Now the wavo goes back. A strong effort and they are safo.
