Treaty Will Soon Be Signed.
Final negotiations for the conclu
sion of the definitive treaty tie tween
the United States and Colombia,
which is to authorize the construc
tion of the Panama canal, began at
th6 state department July 9 th at a
meeting between Secretary Hay and
Mr. Cromwell, representing the Pan
ama Canal Company and the Colom
bian legation here. Mr. Cromwell,
at Secretary Hay’s instance, also laid
before the department of justice all
thfc papers in his possession calcula
ted to assist the attorney general in
his work in settling the title. Sec
retary Hay turned over to him a
mass of papers, which the counsel
examined very carefully. While no
definite conclusion was reached, a
distinot advance was made.
Gable correspondence must be had
with the Colombian government, but
it is believed that the treaty can be
signed within a week. The Colom
bian government has decided to ap
point a non-partisan commission to
re-arrange the electoral and provin
cial districts of Columbia, and it was
believed that, the way being open
for new elections, the congress could
be elected and assembled within the
next four months, and the body
could proceed at onoe to ratify the
canal treaty, which is to be conclu
ded here. It is inferred from this
statement that an-arrangement has
been reached between the Colombi
an conservatives hnd liberals which
will terminate the revolution which
has now lasted for more than two
years.
Egyptian Cotton.
His Elusive Philosophy.
Dr. Herbert W. Spencer tells, ac
cording to the New York Times, the
following story of his attempt to
corner a Christian Scientist:
“Every time we met this Scientist
took occasion to scoff at medioal sci
ence and to dwell upon the wonders
which could be performed through
faith. ‘You are convinced that
through faith you can do anything?’
I said to him on*' day.
“ ‘Yes,’ he replied, ‘faith will move
mountains.”
“A week later he was in my office
with a swollen jaw due to a tooth
ache. ‘What, you here!’ I exclaimed
with feigned astonishment.
“ ‘Oh, doctor,’ he said, ‘I have
suffered agony all through the night.
} I simply can’t stand this pain any
longer.’
“ ‘Have you tried faith?’ I said to
him. ‘You know you told me the
other day that faith could move
mountains.’
“ ‘But this is a cavity, doctor;
’this is a cavity.’ ”
According 1 to an interview with
Mr. C. S. Austin, of San Antonio,
Texas, Egyptian cotton may work a
revolution in the cotto industry in
the south. Mr. Aust says that
Egyptian cotton is, being introduced
into Texas with favorable results.
"It is much more desirable,” says
he, “than the cotton raised in the
United States now, and is even bet
ter than the sea island cotton. The
Egyptian cotton has much longer
fiber than other ootton, and its seed
can be removed so easily that it is
not necessary to cut up the cotton
in ginning it. A series of saws
which work between rods is used in
ginning ordinary cotton, and con
siderable power is required to tear
it loose from its seed. The Egyp
tian cotton can be separated from
its seed by a series of rollers which
do not cut the cotton and destroy
the length of the fibre. The de
partment of agriculture has distrib
uted the new cotton throughout the
south, and it will soon be known
whether the Egyptian product will
flourish in all the districts devoted
to the raising of cotton.”
While Egyption cotton may even
tually be grown on a larger scale in
the south, it is quite probable that
it will be a number of years before
it supplants, if it ever does, the cot
ton that is at present so successfully
grown in the south.—Columbus En

mention anything about it to his

One Too Many For Hanna.
Senator Hanna receives many cu
rious letters, but the proposition
which was made to him the other
day takes the palm for uniqueness.
“On the top of Mount Ararat,”
wrote his correspondent, “there is
still preserved, buried amid eternal
snow, Noah’s ark. I am organizing
a company to dig it out and bring
it to the United States. You can
help me make a lot of money if you
will go into the scheme, because the
original Noah’s ark would be the
best paying attraction at the St.
Louis fair.” -
Up to the present time Senator
Hanna has not invested in the
Noah’s ark scheme.
The adaptation of education to a
scientific age does not involve the
contest as to whether soience or
classics shall prevail, for both are
indispensable to true national, if
not individual, education. The real
question is whether schools will un
dertake the duty of moulding the
minds of boys according to their
mental varieties. The study of na
ture may sometimes quicken dull
minds which the classics have failed
to arouse.—Pres. Chas. W. Dabney!

The census figures show the pro
duction of tpbacco in the United
States in 1900 to have been almost
869,000,000 pounds. The value of
'the tobacco products was a> little
more than $283,000,000. Still there
is no glut of the tobacco market;
there is a demand for all that is
raised, and of the finer qualities for
much more than is raised. Only
the District of Columbia, Utah, Ne
vada and Rhode Island failed to
produce any tobacco in 1900.

There were 187 door-keepers con

congress. That lacks only a little
of being one door-keeper for each
two members of the House. Taken
altogether, there are , a great many'

there are members of that body, and
the salary list of employes is being

In the eighteenth century Har
wood, the Irish chancellor, had a
piteous complaint from a mayor of
Drogheda, who was one of many
Irishmen honored with titles about
that time. “How Bhall I ever qell
my cheese and butter now that the
Duke of Dorset has made mo a
knight?” exclaimed the worthy
mayor. “Hold your tongue, you old
fool,” retorted Harwood. “You are
well off that he did not make yon a
lord.”

Mastication.
If your tendency is to gulp down
food like porridge and vegetables,
quite wet, the obvious remedy is to
eat them in a dry state, or else eat
with them alternate mouthfuls of
dry bread or cracker. A cracker is
admirable to induce mastication, for
the reason that it compels one. to eat
slowly. TBe tendency to moisten
the food continually while eating in
some artificial way is responsible for
much - rapid eating and imperfect
mastication.
