Where Cotton Originated.
A correspondent inquires where
and when the cotton plant was first
cultivated. This is a question that in
vestigation has failed to answer.
It is supposed that the first allusion
to cotton is found in Rig Veda, where
“threads in the loon:” are spoken of.
If the threads in the loom were cotton-
thread, then the staple was in use one
thousand years before the Christian
era, or nearly three thousand years
ago.
However this may be, it is certain
that the plant was cultivated in India
eight hundred years before the birth
of Christ, for it is repeatedly referred
to in the sacred institutes ot Mann.
But the early cultivation of the plant
was not confined to India. Accord
ing to Aztecs hyeroglyphics, cotton
was in common ijsc among the people
hundreds of years before Cortez in
vaded Mexico.
Herodotus, as the schoolboys know,
alludes to “trees bearing as their fruit
fleeces surpassing those of sheep in
beauty and excellence, ’ But centu
ries before Herodotus was born the
people of India were clothing them
selves in cotton fabrics.
The Boston Journal calls attention
to the Tartary myth which describes
a plant animal—a lamb growing on a
bush or tree. Modern scientific inves
tigation has traced the origin of this
myth -to the impression made on trav
elers who had Been the cotton plant
growing in Asia. The lamb was un
doubtedly the cotton fleece seen in
the open bolls.—Atlanta Constitution.

“AGE CANNOT WITHER HER,”

fondly upon the comely little woman by his

timo I was afraid cosmetics would. The Billy
littlo woman, in order to appear youthful,
plastered her face with different varieties of
whitewash, yclept * balms.’ * creams.’ * lotions,’
etc.” “Yes,” interrupted the littlo woman,
“I did, until my skin became liko parchment
and $o pimply and coarse.” “Well.”said tho
listener, “what do you use now?” “Use,

and Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.
Common sense told mo that if my blood was
S ure, liver active, appetite and digestion good,
aat the outward woman would tako on tho
hue of health. The * Discovery ’ did all those
things and actually rejuvenated me.” If you
would possess a clear, beautiful complexion,
free from blotches, pimples, eruptions, yellow
spots and roughness, use tho “Golden Med
ical Discovery.” It is guaranteed to do
all that it is claimed to, or money noin

Southern Girls and Colleges.
From the Dolton, On., Citizen.
The southern female colleges and
their sweet girl graduates are just
now claiming a large share of public
attention. The South is justly proud
of her female colleges, but prouder of
her females. Female education has
long received distinguished considera
tion in the fair southland, where a
chivalrous civilization has ever ac
corded to woman superior capabilities.
Georgia can boast of the first charter
ed female college of the world, the
Wesleyan, at Macon. These institu
tions have been potent factors in the
development of our educational, so
cial and moral condition. They have
been fountains of pure streams of in
fluence that have watered our homes
into producing the sweetest fruits and
flowers of deed and sentiment. A
recognition of the higher education of
woman has long blessed our state.

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
“There is an oriental legend to the
effect that an evil spirit once obtained
the mastery over man aud gave him
his choice as to whether he wonld get
drunk, or rob a house, or commit a
murder. The man, thinking to
choose the least of the evils, selected
intoxication; but, says the legend,
when he had become intoxicated he
committed both the other crimes,
the story. It illustrates the cunning
of the evil genius as well as the folly
of the human being, and is, in a
measure, an answer to the not uuusu
al argument which seeks to excuse
oueTrom the consequence of his own
acts because he was drunk.”

something new to the story of .Joseph
and his brethren. I told him the
Bible version of the story, and he
seemed much interested in Joseph's
coat of many colors. When I had
finished he jsid: “I’apa, tell me
about his pants.”
