It lias been too cold for comt\>rt. l"he n«‘W Methodist chufch is now assuniinj*’ the proportions and looks of a church. From what we see now it is jj;oini; to be a credit to lire var*l and the handsomest cliurch in t he county.

He was im movably iiinned to the ground by h rolling stump ard his calls for help brought two of Mrs. Miner’s diiught- ers to the rescue, and they were the heroines of his release—at least that is wnat he says about it. The World’s Supply of Cotton. Tlio latest ti^ure.s of the cotton crop of tlio world as estimated l)y the de partment of agriculture at Washiiiutoii place the j'iold of UK)li-o;{ at a little over IT.OOO.OOO bales. As the world’s crop until a few years ago was about 12,000,000 l)ales a 3'ear, this shows an increase wliich ousht to give some sat isfaction to manufacturers anfl (*onsum- ors, even though the incj-ea.se is far les.s than it oiisht to l)e and than it is likely to be in the next few years, owing to the impetus which will be j^iven to production by the high prices that have recently prevail*>d. It may lie noted, liowever, that the increase in produc*tion has been almost entirely outside of this country, as the annual yield of the United States has remained practically stationary. The outside world is increasing its yield at a far higher rate than the average per son in this country imagines. Asia and Africa are l)einL? exploited by the con- I ton growing experimenters of Europe i with a zeal w'hich was not known in I the past. There is a demand amoni; I the manufacturers of the old world for j the discovery of new tields which witl ' emancipate them from the despotism ^ of the American cotton gamblers of the Sully type. The estiniate of the department of ag riculture last December that the cotton I crop for 1!X)3 was less than 10.000,000 ■ bales would have just Hied some ad vance in the price. The <lestruction by I the weevil, too, could have accounted legitimately for a slight inci'ease in the quotatioTK lUit the gamblers were not satislled bj' any gain that could be rea sonably exfx'cled from these conditions. They sent the quotation up to a mark at which it couUl not possibly be held except for a few w<‘eks. In doing this they Injured thousands of persons throughout the country who were fool ishly deluded into buying for a further rise, they closed manj’ mills, threw thousands of wage e.arners out of work and advanced the price of cotton .i^oods to the tens of millions of consumers. The incre:ise in the outside world's yield of cotton Avill probably be fol lowed l)y a still greater gain in the pr*‘sent and coming years, correspond ingly lowering; the price and demand for our own product. Thus it is that men like Sully do an irreparable dam age to a great industry. 300 Square Feet' two coats to the gallon, that’s what The Sherwin-Wiluams Paint will cover.

It is not at all probat)le that ('harles Dickens, were he still living, would be particularly pleased to learn that an edition of his works is to bt* iniblished which will cost ^130.000 a set. To any body with a real afiection for books and an understanilini' of tlu‘ reason for their existence such a proi)osition in cites more of an emotion of angry dis gust than one of wonder, awe and ad miration. The contents of a t)ook may be of a value beside which !j?130,000 is insi.^niUcant, l)ut that is far from say ing that any book or set of books is, ought to be or could be worth any such sum. It would l>e possible, of course, to so j>rint and bind a set of books or even a single book that i?ir)0.000 would give the makers onlj' a fair prolit over the cost, but is has iu‘ver been done, nor is it likely to l>e don<‘. and even if it were the pi-oduct would not be a book at all, in any proper sense of the name, but merely a curio, a thing to be offered for sale l>y jewelers, not publishers, and to be boutjlit by million maddened vulgarians, not by lovers of literature. A book is a thing to l)e read, and any peculiarity which interferes with that end Is a l>lemish, whether tlie peculiar ity takes the shape of “deckel edges,” of paper the expensivenoss of which has no relation to legitimate usage or of binding so precious as to be at home onlj' in a safe deposit vault. Dickens himself was not a man of infallible taste, but even the fiercest of his crit ics must credit him with much more than enougli of common sense to have denounced and ridiculed the publication of his works In such a form as this, which would detract from rather than enhance their value.
