v. THECOTTON SURPLUS. &sw Orleans Cotton Conrtntloa To Discuss Plan. The Waco Plan. The dlscnstlons before Um big cotton growers convention which Is to ba held ia New Orleans Jan. 84,85,andSeth, will cover a wide rang of subjects, crystallizing- on the handling of this year's eurplua, the redaction ot the acreage, and on plana for ware-hoaalng cotton - under the control ' of the pro duoers themselves. All three of these big subjects are of equal Interest to the farmer, the merchant and the banker of the South. The handling of tbe surplus and the reduction of acreage will have to be discussed in their entirety, for no definite plan for either hu yet been framed. The warehousing matter, how ever, has been developed to a greater or less extent by the progress made on the "Waoo Plan" which was framed by the farmers and business men of Waco, Texas., and approved and elaborated by the farmers In convention at St. Louis several months ago. This plan pro Tides for local warehouses built on ap proved plans in order that Insurance and other expenses will be minimized' These warehouses are to be erected by local companies to be owned and con trolled by the farmers. A big central company, also to be owned and con trolled by the farmers, or if deemed tiest, by the farmers, merchants and tankers, Is also provided for. The local companies will be the units of Jhe big company, but the local companies will manege their own affairs, guided and protected by the parent company. The "Waco Plan", which is generally re garded with approval by the farmers who have considered It, will doubtless be discussed in all Its phases at New Orleans, and it has been suggested that those delegates who desire information ia advance on this subject write to Hon. Kugene Williams at Waco, Texas for a pamphlet recently issued by the farmers as it throws much light on the project. Tbe pamphlets are issued gratis. HATS CAUSE BALDNESS. They Make the Scalp a Breeding l'lace For SHcrebe. TluTe Is every reason to believe that Primitive wuu had a thick and abun dant head of hair and that this natural clothing of the scalp la diminishing nrnone .civilized Deorjle and will end by disappearing altogether, which would certainly not be advantageous from au aesthetic point of view. The cause of this disappearance of the hair, according to the doctors, must be sought in the very conditions of civt llzatiou and in tbe customs It baa In trodueed. One of the customs especial ly hurtful to the hair la the hat, and, above all. the masculine hat, so we see man's hair suffer more than woman's. The bat produces baldness by two different methods. First, It creates about the head an atmosphere which is fatally warm and moist and which pre vents the penetration of the raya of light that are so fatal to bacteria; the hat makes for the microbes a sort of improvised hotbed which la extremely favorable to their development, and It Is known that microbes play an Impor tant role In the production of baldness. If It bad been desired to foster the ex- Istence of microbes capable of living uDon the scalr or In the hair a more favorable means for their protection and multiplication than the hat could not hare been found. Again, the hat, holding Its place upon the head solely by pressure, exerts a second pernicious Influence upon the scalp: it compresses the arteries and the reins; It Impedes tbe circulation of the blood end conse quently the nutrition of the organs which produce the hair. It Is therefore doubly desirable that the reign of the hat should cease In tbe case of men, ror with women the bat Is so light a thing that It can exert only a trifling propor tion of the ravages It Is responsible for in men, and that this garment should lie renounced or replaced by some less injurious article. As a matter of fact men would be very healthy with bare heads. The hair wonld be strengthened and would serve as a hat; It would on ly bo necessary to protect the bead ugalnst the rays of the son In summer in order to avoid sunstroke. It Is true the public Imagines that It would catch cold more easily, but this is a miataxe. A draft alone Is not enough to give cold; a microbe Is absolutely, meceesa ry. From the hygienic point: of view thp-r a f fewer inconveniences In go- hf win f!ie head bare than In carry lo iixmt upon it a hothouse for ml cri,i.es New York World. A TALE OF BONANZA DAYS. How a Caaaea Remark ' of Jamea - Flosd Balnea Hla Gardfn.r. In the old days of excitement when mining stocks were on the Jump and men became millionaires over one day's dabbling an Incident occurred at the country residence of James C. Flood In Menlo when a fairly weir to do farmer found himself without a home In the short period of one week. - The man's name was Hank, and, being a first class gardener, he readily found em ployment about the resldeuce of the wealthy owners of mansions. lu this way be was employed at the Flood iresldence. Hank was loitering about the garden one Saturday evening as the proprietor, in company with a vis itor, was looking over the stock. Mr. Flood, who had Just stepped out of the hog corral, casually remarked to his friend that he would be willing to make a bet that "Con would go up to 800 before Christmas." Hank con strued "Con" to mean Consolidated Virginia, and, taking the tip which he thought would make him a millionaire, be disposed of his holdings of 250 acres of fine land, his stock and, In brief, everything he had on earth except his wife and tour bright little Hants, une proceeds he invested in Consolidated Virginia slock, which was then selling at $75 a share. Christmas came, but Instead of "ton going up to $300 it fell to $23. The man was a pauper. In lamenting his loss he incidentally mentioned to a friend of Flood how he lost his all, Flood, who was geuerous to a fault, sent for Hank and had him repeat his story. When he learned ot his chance remark about "Con going up to 6W before Christmas" lie fairly shook with laughter and explained what it meant. It was In reference to tuo gilt or a rounc sow, matte a present to nun uy Con O'Connor, who in tne run ot me thing had called the pig Con. The bet alluded to the sow s Increasing m weight to at) pounds before Christmas nnd not to Con Virginia. Having enjoyed the joke and after joshing Hank, the noble hearted Flood lioncht back the ranch for Hank aud recompensed him for all nis losses The originality of the joke and the knowledge of the penalty paid by an envesdroDoer were Flood's reward. Ian Francisco Call. Potato ot the Futnrv The new potato is purplish green in color and Is said to be so far superior to the common "Irish" tuber both iu flavor and in yield that it is destined to drive all competitors out of the mar ket. It comes from the banks of the Mercedes river, in Vrucuay. and is probably the result of a happy norti cultural accident. Claim is made that It is immune to the diseases that ordi narlly nfflict potatoes, but whether or not it can resist the operations of the predatory potato bug is not stated. There is no vegetable to tne improve ment of which more attention has been devoted than has been bestowed upon the potato. It has been mainly, how ever, for increasing the size of the tu tier and to augment the yield. Flavor has been almost wholly Ignored, nnd n a consequence the potatoes of today have less flavor than those which our erandfnthers ate fifty years ago. I ur thermore. all of the market varieties taste pretty much alike, whereas for merly there were recognizable differ ences. Philadelphia Tost. "Hurrah" Ia am Aacleat Ward, Ii Is not generally known that few words can boast of so rAiote and wide ly extended prevalence as "hurrah.". In India and Ceylon "or-re-re," , which seems to be a form of hurrah," la used by the mahouts and attendants on the baggage elephants. The Arabs and camel drivers of Egypt, Palestine and Turkey encourage their animals to re newed effort by cries of "Ar-re, er-rer The Spanish Moors use something of the same expression. In ' France the sportsman excites the hounds by his bhouts of "Hare, hare! and wagoners turn their horses by crying "Harbauhr Irish and Scottish herdsmen shout "Hurrlsh, bnrrlshr to their cattle. The exclamation Is thought to be a corrup tion of the old Norsemen battle cry, Tur-ale!" (Thor aid).

The bill of the goose and duck Is de signed for the partaking ot larger sub stances than are relished by the ben. and they do not confine their diet to i very limited variety. Geese will eat corn and oats, but food of a more bulky character is pre ferred. Their livers are large propor tionately, and they have a very large digestive capacity. They prefer grass, especially clover, and some weeds, such as purslane, nre delicacies. Ground grain moistened with milk is excellent In the early part of the year, aud a lit tle ground meat added U always of ad vantage. This ground grain may be oats, corn, bran or middlings. Once a day on grain, with scalded clover at night, is Hiiltieient. During favorable seasons turn ducks and geese tin grass, and clve no other food. Too much grain prevents eggs from hatching. Chamberllan's Coueta Remedy the Best Made. In my opinion Chamberlain's Cough Remedy la the best made for colds," says Mrs Cora Walker of Porterville, California. There Is no doubt abont its being tbe best. No other will cure a cold so quickly. No other is so suee a preventive of pneumonia. No other Is so pleasant and safe to take. These are good reasons why It should be pre ferred to any other. The fact Ik that few people are satisfied with any other after having once used this remedy. For sale by all Druggists.
