BY WTTilif ACT H. bbKWARD WUjM1NC'XV. c- AtOBWiKs; Feb. 22. A GREAT ASD GROWING IN DUSTRY. The census bureau: has recently issued a bulletin which gives some interesting information on the growth of the cotton seed oil indus try and the yalue of the products of the seed. The Atlanta Journal presents a compact synopsis as fol lows: ! -In 1900 there were 857 establish -meats devoted to the extraction of cottoo seed oil, all of them in the South. The number ! has increased largely since the&e statistics were compiled- I ' 'J J T - 1 "Daring the lyear ended June 1, WOO. the mills manipulated the enor mous quantity of 8 479,386 tons which cost $28.6SS,6L6. an average of $11.55 a ton. which is much less than the present price. The total value of the products of the cotton seed oil mills in the year referred to was $42 411.835, making me profits from the co a version of cot ton seed in one year $13,779,319. The products turned out in that year were 93 325 729 s-alloaa of cotton seed oil. valued at $81,890,674, or an average of 28 9 cents per gallon; 884 391 tons ot oil cake and meal, valued at $16,030, 576. or $18 IS a ton ; 1 169,286 tons of hulls, valued at $3 189.354 or $3 73 a ton. and 67 272 053 pounds of linters, valued at $1,801,231. or 3.1 cents a pound. i The cotton seed industry, great as it has become, is still in its infancy. "In 1870 there were only six cotton seed oil mills in the United State. By 1880 the number had increased to 45. In 1890 there were 119 and 1900 there were 357. It is probable that there are now at least 875. an increase of over 800 per cent, in ten years. "Cotton seed ! oil products are not only used for many purposes in this country, but they are exported in great and increasing quantities. "The exports of them in 1900 amounted to $46 392,300. I "Much of the best "olive oil' we get nn i cottnn sped oil ! that has been refined in Franee. Cotton seed meal cake and hulls are gaining favor in feed for stock, i The Oil IS isaH thftri and in this ; country in in creasing quantities in bread and for frying. It is much purer than most of ihn commercial lard and is more wholesome. ' I "Every year the cotton seed indus try increases in importance, adds more to the value or tne couoo crop nu w comes more usmui iu ws fuviu Some attempts were made as far back as 1834 to utilize cotton seed for oil, but with the crnde methods of those days and the tedious oper ation of extracting the oil they did not amount to anything and were abandoned. Sometime between 1850 and 1860 there was, we think, a mill in New Orleans which exported the oil, some of which was shipped to France, but that didn't prove a sue cess either. Whether the war put u end to the enterprise or it failed for other reasons we do not know. The probabilities are that the pio- neers in this industry were nanai capped by the lack of machinery suitable for the successful and prof itable working of the seed. . The mills are well; equipped' with ma chinery now for delinting the seed, while everything about it is utilized and turned to profit, even the hulls that were at first thrown away as useless. The byproducts are about as valuable now as the oil, and these are becoming annually more impor tant, more valuable and in greater demand, for there is a large annual increase of them as foodstuffs. Thou sands of tons of coton seed and hulls are shipped annually to the stock farms and ranges of the West, where they are used for fattening cattle for marketj while , there j is also an in creasing demand in European coun tries for the same purpose. With all our cotton seed oil mills, but little over half the crop of seed is consumed. If it were all con sumed, that is all that is not needed for planting purposes, the value would probably reach one-third of the value of the cotton crop, which is saying a good deal for a product of the plantation that twenty-five years ago went to waste and was treated as a nuisance, dumped into creeks or turned under the soil, not so much for its manorial value as , to get rid of it, and get it out of the way. The probabilities are that the mills now in operation could work a much larger quantity of seed than they do, and one of the reasons why they do not work more is because in some sections for want of railroad trans portation and the distance from the mills, the planters do not sell their seed because they have too far to haul them. There will be improve ment in this respect; however, and with it a larger consumption of seed. The probabilities are, too, that the manufacturing processes will be improved and, the oil, meal, &c, be produced at less cost; which will re duce the selling price and add largely to the consumption, t . There are constant improvements in the -methods of j handling and working the seed, one of i the latest being & discoveiy by which the seed can be delinted and hulled by1 im mersion in a chemical solution which does the work efficiently in a little while, saving much time and dispensing with much costly ma chinery. If what is said about this process be true, it will revolutionize the cotton seed oil industry and make practicable the establishment of mills with much less capital than is now required and at the same time materially reduce the cost of ope- rating.1 ' i - f -' But as valuable as the products of ; the cotton seed have become, we do I not begin to Realize anything like ; their posswie value. As an illua. iOMVU, r instance: we ship thousands of gallontof oil to France, where it is manipu lated and shipped back to us as "olive" oil or "sweet" oil. We pay more for a pint of it than a gallon of the oil out of which it was made cost the Frenchman. Whether there is any impenetrable mystery in the process by which the French manipulator converts our unpretending cotton seed oil into "olive" oil we do not know, but it seems to us that American tact rxntrht to catch on to that, or hire some of the Frenchmen who under stand it, and do some of the trans forming on this side of the sea and make the profit that the Frenchman now makes by that operation There is no more business sense in selling oil to be converted into "olive" oil, than there was formerly in our shipping cotton lint to mills in Massachusetts and buying the same cotton back woven into fab rics, and paying from four to five times as mnch for it as we sold it for. We ship the oil to establishments in the West where it is converted into "cottolene," "butterine," and other ines. and sold for about four times as much as the oil sells for, and lots of our housekeepers buy these stuffs and use them in their kitchens because the cans bear nicely printed and decorated labels with fascinating legends print ed on them. Some. of these days our oil men will learn how to ma nipulate these things and make the money that now goes into the cof fers of Western manipulators, who were quick to catch on to the true inwardness of cotton seed oil, and quick to profit by it. If theseed, meal, oil cake and hulls now shipped away were fed to cattle and converted into meat on our Southern farms the value would be more than trebled, for we would have the beef to market, as the Western men do who buy these food stuffs from our mills, and we would have left on the farms ma nures that would be of inestimable value in improving and adding to the productiveness of the land. As this industry is still in its in fancy we have not begun to realize the possibilities that are in it. If all these were taken into account the cotton seed might prove of more value to the South than the whole crop of lint now is. ROCK-BOTTOMED TRUTH. Gen James H. Wilson, U. S. A., is one of the gentlemen appointed by President Boosevelt to represent the army of the United States at the coronation of King Edward, of Great Britain. He served with dis tinction both in Cuba and Porto Rico, and. was for several months military uovernor or the province of Matanzas, in Cuba. We note this because it gives weight to his utter ances and places him above the sus picion of misrepresenting the ad ministration when he criticises our dealings with Cuba. In a recent address before the Union League Club, a Republican organization of Chicago, speaking of Cuba he said: "We pledged 'ourselves at the be ginning of the war against the inten uon or exerting any sovereignty over the island., and promised to withdraw our army as soon as peace was re stored. In spite of the pledge we have exercised every conceivable attribute of sovereignty over Cuba. We have absolutely controlled the domestic af fairs of the people, and although per feet order has existed for two years. our army is still in possession of the country." ; This is directly and unequivocally a charge of bad faith against this Government. If Gen. Wilson were in Congress and uttered this rebuke on the floor there, it would be charged to partisanship, inspired by opposition to the administration; but every word and every syllable of it is true. The party which controls na tional policies has been playing a de ceitful and disreputable game with Cuba ever since the American army took possession of the island. In spite of the solemn pledge by Con gress before the blow for Cuba was struck every manoeuvre made has been to gain some advantage for this country, and to profit by the war hat was begun and prosecuted pro fessedly out of sympathy for a neighboring people who were strug gling to break the yoke of the Span ish oppressor. We broke it, and then, ignoring all our declarations, we put them under the American yoke, and made their island, which we fought to make free, simply an appendage of this country, practi cally as much under our control as it was under the control of Spain. That's the way the Republican statesmen keep faith. Since that boy was run over and killed by an automobile in New York a few days ago, a dozen or so automobile drivers have been ar rested for fast running. The-trouble with the auto is that it glides along so noiselessly that it gives no warn ing of its approach and may be en one before he knows it unless the steerer is very watchful and under-1 stands his business. J. Sterling Morton has a paper in Nebraska, and sometimes essays to answer conundrums propounded to him. The other day a citizen asked him if the tariff were reduced what -protection American r labor would have from foreign labor. The signature -to this 'interrogatory Leszczynski Skrzypczak paralysed him, and he had nothing to say, " The Republican statesmen in Washington, recognizing the neces sity of doing something in th" Cu ban tariff 'matter, 'are tryfng to de vise sonte plan upon whioh they can agree. "The latest reported is a proposition to make a swap with Cuba and reduce our tariff duties forty per cent.- on condition that Cuba make a similar reduction on American imports. That is ten per cent less than this Cubans askedf or on sugar, but this would probably be acceptable if it is the best that can be done.- 11 1, u J Leaving i out of question the amount of reduction, which might depend upon ' circumstances, it is about the shortest, and apparently the fairest way to reciprocity, and could be applied to a greater or less extent to every country on this hemisphere, and, in fact to all countries with which W9 have or hope to have trade which amounts or may amount to anything. With the position this country now holds as a producing, manufacturing and commercial nation,1 if a coun try which has or seeks trade with it shows a disposition to ; cultivate it by reducing tariff duties on Amen ean products, this country ought to be able to reciprocate, and meet that country on that ground. If, as our manufacturers boast, they can manufacture their exported articles for less money than similar articles can be manufactured in other countries, there is no good reason why they should hesitate to meet any foreign country half way, with reciprocal concessions on tariff duties. That would put an end to the complains against our Chinese wall and ought to have a powerful influence in expanding our commerce, and that's what the Republican statesmen say they are working for. Daniels, the Arizona marshal, who's commission was revoked be cause he indulged in some larceny and got caught, says that was twen ty-five years ago, but he has reform ed and never stolen anything since. If that be so, as a reformer he is ahead of the average Republican politician. BOOK NOTICES.

So far the palate would ap pear not to be a safe guide to diges tion. Hot rolls, however,1 when masti cated properly, should not offer jaey difficulty to the digestive organs. A slice of stale bread, on being broken with the teeth, resolves into more or less hard, gritty particles, whlch. un less they were softened by. the saliva, would be 'almost impossible to swal low. The particles' would Irritate the throat and the gullet ' The fact is, therefore, that man Is compelled thor oughly to masticate' and to Impregnate" stale bread with saliva before he swal lows it. This act, of course, partially digests the. bread and. thus makes.it in a fit state for digestion and absorp tion farther on In the alimentary tract This la "why stale bread appears to be more, digestible than new. bread. . New bread, oh the contrary, Is soft doughy or plastic, and there appears to be no necessity to soften It with sa liva; hence It escapes the preliminary digestive action of the ptyalln of the saliva. New bread, In other words. Is In reality "bolted," and "bolting" ac counts for many ' of the Ills arising from dyspepsia. Accordingly hot rolls should be enjoyed for breakfast with out any fear of dyspepsia so long as the bread is good and so long as pains are taken to masticate It thoroughly. Rotary Clotneallae Buger.

Teapots and coffeepots do not go back very far, since tea and coffee were pot introduced into Europe until the seventeenth century, and no silver tea pot or kettle is known of earlier date than 1709. Festoons and medallions are characteristic ornaments of teapots of the time of tbe early Georges. Not until the middle of the eighteenth cen- ury, however, do we find silver urns, tea strainers and tea caddies. Cream Jugs followed the fashions of the larger pieces. The first English sauceboat In silver belongs to the year 1727. Silver can dlesticks are older, being found first with square bases and fluted columns. In the reign of Charles II. Medallions, festoons and drapery characterize later candlesticks, and the Corinthian cot nmn pattern, so great a. favorite, was first introduced about 1765.

Seventeen centuries ago the Japanese Emperor Chuai was playing his lute In tbe presence of bis wife and prime minister. Whether on account of the music or from some other cause, the empress became inspired with a divine afflatus and began to utter the thoughts put into her mind by the deity. "There is a land to the westward," she ex claimed, "and in that land is abun dance of treasure, gold and silver, daz zling to look upon. This land I will now bestow upon you." , The emperor pushed away bis lute, "If you go up to a high place and look toward tbe west" said be, "there Is no land to be seen, but only the great wa ters. They are lying spirits who have spoken to you." Then the good god was filled ( with anger, and again he moved tbe empress to prophesy. "You are not fit," she said, "to rule this empire. Go the one road!" But the prime minister trembled when he beard these words and said to his master: "I am troubled? my heaven ly sovereign, by this terrible message. Continue, I pray, to play the august lute." Tbe Emperor Chuai commenced to play softly. Gradually the sound died away; all was still. They held a light to his face and saw that he was dead. But the empress put herself at tbe head of her fleet Invaded the land of gold and silver with her warriors and soon made the three kingdoms of Ko " rea tributary to Japan. These things happened, we are told. In the year 201 A. D., and the story of the valliant empress is as familiar to a Japanese as is that of Boadicea to our selves. Nineteenth Century.
