TRE.\‘UOUS EFFORBTS IN EUROPE
TO PRODUCE STAPLE.
itish Cotton Growing Association
Making a Most Elaborate Cam
paign for Cotton Raising.
American consular officials, in pur-
Lance of instructions given them
e months ago, continue to keep in
ach with the efforts which various
reign countries are making to grow
dependent supplies of cotton, and
ports on the subject reach the de-
Jriment of commerce and labor in
rgshington almost daily.
In a recent issue of the Daily Con
jar and Trade Reports there is
inted for the first time in this coun
¢ a resume of the first annual re
" of the British Cotton Growing
ssociation, which is the most impor
nt of all the several organizations
ymad 2broad during the past few
pars.
The association is composed of the
itish cotton manufacturers and
hers interesied in the industry, and
principal object is to promote the
ltivation of the staple by encourag
g its srowth in the British colonies
1 in other countries outside the
nited States, where soil and climate
e favorable. It is pushing its work
ith the assistar @@ of the British gov.
nment and, while so far no very
rmidable progress has been made,
e movement is naturally watched
iih creat interest in this country.
. Hope for the Future.
The report referred to is for the
ar ending August 30, 1905. Among
ner things it is stated that shares to
e amount of £108,432 have been sub
ribed to date. Disappointment that
ere has not been a larger response
expressed, but it is stated that the
cociation realizes that because of
¢ suffering of the British cotton
ade during the past two years, due
the short erops in the United States
d the manipulations of speculators,
e best results in this line could not
expected.
Tke consul in charge of this re%ort
w ventures to express the hope that
ere will be a generous response from
e whole of the trade, and says it
lieves that if spinners, manufactur-;
s and operatives will bring the fund}
to £300,000 there will be little] diffi-
Ity in raising the additional £300,-
needed from the allied trades and
ewhere.
By means of the associatian’s ex-}
nditures a ‘‘large amount’’ of cot
n has been produced, it is stated, .
rying in quality from the finest sea
land downward. In addition a great
ount of interest has been aroused
roughout the whole empire. Many
ousands of acres are now under cul
jation, and it is expected that from
em there will be produced ‘‘at least
.000 bales, of a value of £250,000.”
e full result of the expenditure will
tbe received this season nor the
xt, however, it is stated, ‘‘for the
ovement which has now been started
ill automatically continue to grow.”’
An Optimistic View,
Taking everything into considera
n, the report says, the consul is of
e opinion that the shareholders have
ery reason to congratulate them
lves on the excellent results so far
hieved, and that there is not the
ightest doubt that with time and
oney both larger and better results
n‘be obtained.
“Judging by the experience of the
ork of the last twelve months,’” it is
ated, ‘‘the council is more than ever
nvinced that the British empire can
oduce cotton of sufficient quantity
d of suitable quality for the needs

BRONCHO BILL'S PRAYER.
One of the best touches in Ralph
Connor’s ‘‘The Sky Pilot’’ is the sto
ry of ‘how Broncho Bill, the Pilot’s
devoted friend, undertook the task of
opening the new church building, when
the Pilot himself was ‘too ill to be
present. Bill had anxiously gone
over the audience to find any one who
could offer an appropriate prayer of
dedication, but could find no one.
The red began to come up in Bill's
white face.
“Tain’t in my line, but The Pilot
says there’s got to be a prayer, and
I'm goin’ to stay with the game.”
Then leaning on the pulpit he said:
“‘Let us pray,’’ and began:
“God Almighty, I ain’t no good at
this, and perhaps you'll understand if
[ don’t put things right.”” Then a
pause followed, during which some of
the women began to sob.
““What I want to say,’”’ Bill went
on, ‘‘is, we're mighty giad about this
church, which we know that it’s You
and The Pilot that’s worked it, and we
are all glad to chip in.”’
Then he paused, his hard, gray face
working, and two tears stealing down
SOME POINTED REMARKS.
The Fellows Who Hurrahed for Teddy
Reminded of Some Things.
The long-experienced correspondent,
“Savoyvard,’’ addresses some very
pointed remarks to the southerners
who hurrahed more than was neces
sary when the president was in the
south, and some of whom appear to
have been won away from their party
principles by his persuasive tongue.
For example: ‘‘ln every southern
state Mr. Roosevelt has set up a ca
bal to parcel out official patronage
without regard to the wishes of the
leal people of the south. It is true
that he now and then makes a grand
stand play, such as sending a descend
ent of Stonewall Jackson to West
Point, and giving Jeb Stuart’s son an
office, but the fact remains that a ne
gro, Booker Washington, exercises
more political influence at the White
House than any individual south of
Mason and Dixon’s line.”
Automatic Way to Boil Eggs.
In a lecture at the Royal institute in
London Henry Cunninghame showed a
new way of bolling eggs, says a Lon
don cable dispatch to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. The egg was suspended from
the beam of a pair of scales and dipped
into a saucepan of boiling water. The
sand from an hourglass trickled into
the scale which hung from the other
end of the beam until the egg was
~cooked. Then the welght of the sand
Ilifted the egg out of the saucepan and
; rang an electric bell.

I caught and kissed her,
his cheeks. Then he started again:
““But about The Pilot—l don’t want
to persoom—but if you don’t mind,
we'd like have him stay—in fact, I
don’t see how we kin do without him—
look at the boys here; he’s just gettin’
his work in, and is bringin’ ’em right
along, and, God Almighty, if you
take him away it mieht be a good
thing for him, but for us, oh, God—"’
the voice quivered and was silent.
‘‘Amen.’’
Then some one began ‘‘Our Father,”’
and all joined that could join to the
end. For a few moments Bill stood
up, looking at them silently. Then
as if remembering his duty, he said:
“This here church is open; excuse
me.”’
He stood at the door, gave a word
of direction to Hi, who had followed
him out, and leaping on his broncho
shook him into a hard gallop.
The Swan Creek church was opened.
The form of service may have not
been correct, but if the essential thing
is sincerity and appealing faith then
all that was necessary was done.—

A BIG FLOATING BARN.
Lumbermen Wili Take Unique Craft
to Camps.
A novel sort of barn has recently
been constructed at Beardstown, 111.,
for a firm of lumbermen, says a
Beardstown special dispatch to the
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
It is a floating barn, for use in the
logging camps, where it always has
been a hard matter to provide suitable
protection for horses during the cold
weather.
It is constructed like a barge and has
stalls for twelve horses, room for thirty
tons of hay and grain and room for
men in charge. The barn can be moved
about in the river bottoms where log
ging camps are located.
- Furious Fighting.
“For seven years,’’ writes Geo. W.
Hoftman, of Harper, Wash., “‘I _hfid
a bitter battle with chronic stomach
and liver trouble, but at last I won,
and cured my diseases by the use of
Electric Bitters. I unhesitatingly rec
ommend them to all, and don’t intend
in the future to be without them in the
house. They are certainly a wonder
ful medicine, to have cured such a
bad case as mine.’”’ Sold under guar

MILITARY AUTOMOBILE ARMED
" WITH RAPID FIRE GUNS.
A Machine of Thirty Horse-Power. It
Leaps Ditches and Mows Down a
Battalion in Two Minutes.
An armored automobile “galloping”
across broken ccuntry, leaping ditches
like a hunting horse, impenetrable to
Lebel bullets and shrapnel, firing its
hidden battery at the rate of 600 rounds
in sixty seconds, mowing down a bat
talion of infantry in two minutes and
wiping out a squadron of dragoong at
a hundred yard range. Such is the
thing of terror with which the French
army is providing itself, says a Paris
correspondent of the New York Amer- |
ican and Journal.
This sounds, I know, like the ro-
mances of our late Jules Verne or the
English M. Wells, but it is all plain
military fact, as witness these details
which M. George Lefevre now makes
public in Le Vie au Grand Air.
An order for twenty of these war
chariots has been placed by the I'rench
government with a IFrench firm. This
order follows a series of experiments
conducted with great secrecy on a field
of military maneuvers and of which
M. Lefevre was a witness. To these
experiments all the heads of the mili
tary departments were invited by eard,
and by them the most exacting condi
tions were imposed on the experimen
ters. 3
It was insisted that in a state of war
the automobile artillery would not be
able to use the public highways and
that it must be able to come to the
front across any sort of country, that
it must be impervious to infantry fire,
that its interior organs must be ef
fectively protected, that its crew—driv
ing and firing—must be ‘“out of hit,”
that its running period must be long
and that its wheels must not be at the
mercy of any destructive agent. All of
these conditions were met in the most
remarkable tashion.
The war automobile, which is of thir
ty horsepower, was seen to be com
pletely incased in armor, yet it ran as
lightly as a road machine. Neither the
driver nor mechanician was visible,
while the crew of the mitrailleuse were
likewise invisible, being concealed in a
revolving turret.
The first test was one of speed over
every class of country, the result being
an average rate of thirty kilometers an
hour. Next came the test of the dltch
es, and Girardot, one of the construct
ors, accomplished the feat of leaping
into and out of an excavation ten me
ters deep and twenty meters wide
without break of speed.
Next came a maneuver directed
against a batallion of Infantry. A
Hotchkiss was installed in the turret,
and the machine, dashing into the in
fantry, with its turret swinging to ev
ery quarter, succeeded in firing 1,800
rounds in three minutes. It was the
unanimous opinion of the military
judges that not a soldler would have
remained to fight after this discharge.
Next a regiment of dragoons was
sent charging into the plain, neither the
crew of the war chariot nor the com
mander of the dragoons having been
informed of the foe to be-met. The war
chariot did not see the dragoons until
they were but 300 meters distant. Then,
crashing out a hail of projectiles that
would have swept half the saddles
clear, it fled across country and was
out of danger in a minute.
Next came the test of the war auto
mobile’s armor. A company of infan
try was drawn up, the motor car re
maining a stationary target. At twen
ty to thirty meters the Lebel bullets
penetrated the armor, which is light,
supple and wonderfully resisting. At
fifty meters they remained imbedded in
the plates. At 100 to 150 meters the
bullets produced a depression and were
thrown off.
Lastly the tires were attacked, and
it was found that even when pierced
with ten bullets they were serviceable
for twenty minutes or time enough to
get out of danger.
Such is the new arm, an artillery of
great swiftness in attack and flight,
practically invulnerable and capable in
the hands of a clever handler of deliv
ering terrific attacks in various parts
of a field of battle in an exceedingly
short time. It is to be hoped that these
new infernal machines will so add to
the horrible prospects of combat that
war will soon become an impossibility.

The Sensational Cure of Mrs.
Caldwell is the Talk of Her
Acquaintances.
Mrs, Ida Caldwell, 506 Pearl street,
Sioux City, la., Vice-President Order of
Washington, writes:
¢I suffered with catarrh of the res
piratory organs off and on for the last
three years until I thought it was
chronic. My chest and lungs were ir
ritated and I had to use the greatest
care not to expose myself to chilly air
or dampness as it increased my troubles,
«“My physician advised me to try a
change of climate, but I was unable to
leave my family. Reading of the won
derful cures performed by Peruna, I
bought a bottle.
«It was with the greatest satisfaction
that I found it the one medicine among
them all which cured me. 1 was re
lieved within three days and after two
months and a half the frritation was
gone, my lungs perfectly healed and my
health restored.”—lda Caldwell,
