AVhnt is cotton; why does it spin, and
"who can compete with us in tho produc
tion of tho fiber ? asks Edward Atkinson
in his paper on tho cotton manufactures
of tho United States, printed in the
United States Census Report, and then
tells us what it is. lie says: Cotton is
tho wing of the seed of one of the plants
belonging to a variety of which the
hibiscus and mallow nro well-known
specimens growing elsewhere. It is in
digenous in many parts of tho world,
both in tropical and temperate regions,
but tho useful sorts aro those which grow
in tho Southern part of tho temperate
rono. A tree cotton is found in tho
tropics, producing a fiber very silky in
Appearance, resembling in structure tho
fiber of the asclepias, but useless, like
tho latter, for spinning purposes, for
want of the form and structure
which makes it possible to
spin the cotton of commerce. A
vine cotton may be found in some of the
"West In'dia islands. In China and Japan
are found varieties producing a short,
clean and very whit; staple, practically
useless, except it be spun and woven by
hand. In India many varieties arc to be
found, commonly known as "Suratu," a
name which belongs to a district, but
which is often applied to all East India
cotton. East India cotton is, as a rule,
short in fibre and rough in its character,
adhering closely by its end to the seed,
and is there foro difficult to remove, ex
cept with great waste. There is, how
ever, ono exception to this rule : In the
Dacca province a long and tine staple is
grown, which is produced by a class of
people with whom its cultivation is an
hereditary employment, and from which
the fine muslin known as " woven wind "
is manufactured. In Africa are to be
found several varieties; but the only
kind known to commerce is the cotton
of Egypt, next in quality to our Sea
Island staple. Aside from this, the cot
ton of Africa is short and woolly. There
are largo areas of laud, formerly
irrigated, but now a desert, upon which
7,000,000 or more bales of the most
valuable cotton could be annually grown,
if Egypt were well governed and labor
had its true reward. In Ilrazil a con
siderable quantity of useful cotton is
now produced, but slavery stands in
the way of any great increase or improve
ment of the staplo. There are vast
tracts of land on the Paraguay and
Parana rivers capable of producing tho
best varieties, but as yet these places lack
good government and that security to
property which can alone fissure adequate
labor and good cultivation. The same
may for tho present Iks said of Mexico,
but the conditions arc so rapidly chang
ing in that country that Mexico may yet
become an important factor in the culti
vation of the cotton crop of the world.
Cotton has been raised in Asia Minor,
Turkey, Italy and the islands of the
Pacific ; in fact, the area of land adapted
to its growth in some degree is practical
ly unlimited ; but the area which pro
duces the most useful varieties is at
present substantially limited to the
southern portion of the United States.
No treatment of the manufacture of cot
ton can rightly begin without giving the
reason why cotton spins. Nature begins
to twist each fiber upon its own axis, else
man could make no use of it. Is is the
' nly fiber, either vegetable or animal,
with the exception ot silk, which can be
worked without any preparation
or machine just as it comes from
the boll or fleece.- It can be imagined
how some Indian woman in Central
Asia first gathered the fiber as it hung
from the boll, twisted itwithhef fingers
into a strand, as one may now do; then,
holding it by the middle with her teeth,
doubled it and made a strong, rough
cord: and then, making a bobbin of a bit
of bamboo reed and tying the ends of
the cord to other reeds, interlaced them,
and made the first web of cotton cloth.
Any one can do this to-day with cotton,
6&d it would be difficult or impossible to
perform this work with any other fiber.
The next step in the process might have
been the one which is even now practised
In making the finest fabric ever spun and
woven in the world the Dacca muslin,
previously referred to and known as the
"woven wind." The cotton is separated
from the seed by a haud machine known
as the churka, of which the modern
roller gin is but a modification: and no
invention has ever yet displaced the roller
gin in the treatment of the finest fiber,
tiKe that ot Dacca ana the sea island cot- j
ton of America. Next may have been
the application of the fishbone to the
carding of the fiber, which is still in use,
and of which the modern card is but a
modification. Twisting upon a distaff,
in the same way as tho cotton is spun in
India and flax in Italy, may be tho next
step in the progress of the art, and at last
the weaver may have constructeclsuch a
loom of reeds as is pictured upon the
walls of Babylon, while the weaver, hit
ting under a palm tree, as she docs to-day
in India, and weaving only in the morn
ing, when the dew makes the handling
of the fiber possible, may have brought
the art slowly and gradually to the per
fection of the woven wind. In the whole
treatment of cotton, as it is now prac
tised in the finest factory of modern
kind, thero is but one original invention ;
all else is but a change, or modification of
these prehistoric methods. That one in
vention was the one which Sir Richard
Arkw right borrowed from a previous in
ventor and put in use about a century
ago, namely, the extension of the strand
prior to the twisting by the spindle.
This was accomplished by the use of sev
eral pairs of rollers, ono placed in front
of the other, and those in front working
at a higher speed than those behind.
Yet Arkwright's invention itself is im
perfect; and whoever discovers a substi
tute for the leather covering of the top
rolls which are used in this process may
add from five to ten per cent, to tho
capacity of every spiudlo and loom now
in use in the world. The only other
original invention ever applied to the
cotton fibt-r was that of Eli Whitney,
whose raw gin, afterward improved and
developed by Carver, made the prepara
tion of cotton for the spinner quick and
at the lowest cost. The process of what
is tailed manufacturing the cotton fiber
iuto yarn and cloth begins with
the process of ginning, which
must of necessity bo carried on
near the field where tho cot
ton is grown. It is tlw most important
department in tho whole scries of opera
tions to which the cotton fibre must be
subjected; and, ns yet, there has been
less of science and art, and less of tbe
modern system of division of labor, ap
plied to this depaitnient than to any
other. Hut progress has been made even
here. Machines for cleaning tho cotton
in the seed and prepnring it for tho cot
ton gin, which had hardly been heard of
before tho Atlanta cotton exposition of
1881, have been introduced nnd sold in
largo numbers. Cotton ginning estab
lishments, in which as much art and
scieuce have been applied as in those of
Egypt, established by English capital
ists, have been set up in Beveral places,
and the old methods, by which the cot
ton has been depreciated after it had
been picked, are rapidly going out oi
use. Cotton is also in n great measure
becoming the product of the intelligeut
farmers dwelling upon healthy uplands,
and by improvements which have docn
introduced during tho last few years its
cultivation has been carried further north
in latitude and higher up on hill and
mountain slopes than was ever thought
to be possible in former days. The great
Appalachian chain of mountains, extend
ing from the northeast to the southwest,
marks a line on which the moisture
brought in in by the guU stream is con
densed, falling in frequent showers, but
seldom in heavy storms, over the Caro
linas, Georgia and Alabama, on whose
uplands healthy homes for white cotton
fanners are being established al
most without limit. To the west
of this chain the great valley
of the Mississippi and its tributaries,
bordered by bottom lands of untold fer
tility, otters the noon of great crops to
compensate for the less healthy condi
tions of climate; and to these rich river
bottoms colored laborers, who are more
free from danger of malaria, are tread
ing in ever-increasing numbers. In Texas
the melting snows of the far-distant
Rocky mountains, flowing into the arid
regions of the northern part of the State,
burst forth from the ground as rivers
fully grown, lending moisture to tho soil
over vast areas, even before the rivers ap
pear in great springs. Over all tins vast
area is found a climate which is not trop
ical, nnd in the largest part of this area
white men. as well as blacks, can live in
comfort and health. To Italians, French,
Spanish and the inhabitants of Southern
Germany, who are accustomed to the
climate of warm countries, these por
tions of the South offer homes and work
where a comfortable subsistence can bo
gained more quickly than elsewhere in
this country, and where there is more
than an average opportunity to create
wealth. The use of the seed is adding
profit to the production of the liber.
When all the parts of the plant are
worked, as they may be, either into fod
der or directly into fertilizers, the cotton
field may become richer every year; and
land which has only produced one bale
to eight acres, like Farish Furman's farm
in Georgia, will bo brought in a few
short years to two or three bales to the
acre.
The Gay Head Indians.
The Gay Head Indians inhabit the
recently incorporated town of Gay Head
on the westerly end of tho County of
Dukes,Mass., which embraces the whole ol
the island of Martha's Vineyard. This In
dian town has an area of about 2,400
acres, which is divided into three penin
sulas, Nashaquitsa, Squiqnocket and Gay
Head. This town is nearly severed
from the rest of the island by Menem
sha pond. At the present time there are
about 200 Indians at Gay Head, and un
like many other remnants of Indian
tribes in the Commonwealth, they have
for a few years past been gradually in
creasing iu numbers. There are about
fifty families, and the people here have
been marked through a series of years
for seeking more profitable sources of in
come than their isolated situation natural
ly afforded, and some of them have
achieved some distinction as efficient
masters of vessels. The morals, educa
tion aud marked indications of civilized
advancement among them are so strik
ing that they attract attention among
those who chance to visit their seques
tered island home.
If there is a spot in all New England
where a recluse might wish to find per
petual repose, free from the troubles and
anxieties of life, Gay Head ia the place,
and yet the Gay Headers are quite jealous
of the influences and approaches of for
eigners, having had a good deal of trouble
with those who have married some ot
their daughters and settled among them.
Formerly any member of this tribe at
Gay Head could take up, fence in and
improve as much of the land as he pleased,
and when inclosed it became his own. It
might very naturally be inferred that such
a state of things would engender many
disputes and quarrels, but such was not
the case. Such a state of things was a
kind of "impcriura iu imperio," not con
ducted by any code of laws except bone
.and muscle of those taking up the land.
Viie Gay Head Indians are a mixture of
the red, white and black races, and there
is, too, some Southern blood among them,
and also Portuguese and Dutch ; for
listen, here are some of the names among
them, to wit: John Randolph, Madison.
Corsa, Silvia and Tanderhoop. Through
the intermarrying aud the coining in of
foreigners it has almost pushed out the
purely Indian names. They are, on the
whole, a moral, frugal, industrious and
temperate people, aud are quite equal in
these respects to white people, with simi
lar surroundings. Duston l'ost.
Illustrative of Greed.
The greed for more, awakened by giv
ing, has illustrations too numerous to
mention. ,-I wish I was rich," said a
ne'er-do-well to an intimate friend who
was well off. "How much do you want?"
said the man of means. "One thousand
dollars would make me perfectly happy."
'You are sure you wouldn't want any
more?" "Not another dollar; it would
perfectly satisfy me." His friend drew a
bank check for a thousand, and tossed it
across the table, much to the first speak
er's astonishment. "Gosh!" said he, "I
wish you'd make it two thousand.
Of all passions jealousy is that which
exacts the hardest service and pays the
bitterest wages. Its service is to watch
the success of our enemy ; its wages to be
sure of it.
A Overwhelming ( ompltment.
A young gentleman anxious to loam to
sing, went up into tho garret ono Sun
day night about bed-time, nnd resolutely
commenced his exercises w ith his Psalm
book. Ho had been singing but a short
time, when his father, a fidgety old gen
tleman, stole out of his bed-mom, with
his night cap on, and on reaching tho foot
of tho stairs, mildly inquired:
"James I"
No answer. James was very busy with
his exercises.
"James ?"
"Sir?"
"Have you heard a very peculiarnoisc,
James ?"
"No, sir; nothing."
" Oh ah I thought but never
mind."
The old gentleman walked back to his
room, muttering indistinctly.
Presently James resumed his exercises,
and was getting on famously, as he
thought, when his parent, like tho ghost
of Hamlet's father, again camo forth, ex
claiming: "James 1"
"Sir!"
"Are you sure that Bose is chained
up?"
"Yes, sir; I attended to it myself."
"Very well, very well; no matter."
Once more he returned to his room.
Wondering what his father meant by
inquiring after the house dog, Rose,
James was silent for a minute, but soon
returned to his exercises more vigorously
than ever. Again, however, he was in
terrupted by the voice of his parent,
shouting
"James!"
"Sir!"
"I am sure Bose is loose."
"It can't be possible, sir."
"Ho is, I tell you."
"What makes you think so, sir?"
"Why, for this last half hour I have
heard something that sounded very
much as if that dog was worrying the
cat."
James never resumed his exercises
after that overwhelming compliment.
In the center of a big circle of gold
watches in a Maiden Lane, New York
city, watchmaker's window, is a hand
some, open-faced chronometer, with this
placard: " The first watch over mado in
America by machinery." It is a relic.
It was mado in Roxbury, Mass., about
1850. It runs for eight days with a singlo
winding. It was the first watch ever
made in this country that was entirely
manufactured by machinery. It is as
perfect as the standard watch of to-day,
and differs but little in the general plan
of construction.
After Three Day.
Mr. Chakl.es W. Morris, "Eagle" office,
Pittstield, Mass., writes. May 2. 18SJ: "For
several months my wife's mother (Mrs. Amy
Boyce) ha t been in a very precarious condi.
tlon with dropsy or Brieht's disease of the
kidneys, and having u-ed all methods ami
measures for her restoration in the line ot
treatment by our leadiu? physicians, and
having failed to benefit her, her family de
spaired o( seeing her relieved, and gave her
up to die. Happening to run across the tes
timony of a Mrs. Dawley.who had been cured
of similar sickness by using Hunt's Remedy,
we at one procured a bottle of it, and com
menced giving it as directed. After using it
three days she was so far improved that she
could get from her bed to her chair without
assistance (a circumstance that had not hap
pened for months). Previous to taking it
she was troubled more or less with short
breath, requiring a continuous fanning to
keep her alive. This gradually improved as
we continued the use of Hunt's Rtmedy, and
on the fourth bottle she was able to set up all
day. She was bloated terribly in both limbs
and body upward to the langs. The tenth
day the bloating left her bowels and now she
is not swollen above the knees. Her kidneys
were very bad at the time, discharges being
of a bloody character and emitting a sicken
ing odor. I can say that the change in her
case has been wonderful, and Hunt's Remedy
has worked a miriyla in her."

knowledge and will undoubtedly aWnken as

as it has already in newspaper circle. The
laats arw. briefly, as follows: Mr. Will-am
A. Crombio. a young man formerly residing
at Birmingham, a suburb of Detroit, and
now living at 2s7 Michigan avenue, in this
rlty, can truthfully say that lie has locked
into the future world and yet returned to
this. A representative of this paper has in
terviewed him upon this important subject
and his experiences are giveu to the publio
tor the first time. He said:
" I bad boon having most peculiar sensa
tions for a long while. My head felt dull and
heavy; my eyesight did not scorn so clear ns
formerly; my apetite was uncertain nnd I
was nnaccountab.y tired. It was an effort
to ariso in tho morning and yet I could not
sieep at night, fliy ino.itn tastcrt nauiy, i
had a faint all gone sensation in the pit of
my stomach that food did not ratisfy, whiln
my hands and feet felt cold and clammy. I
was nervous and irritable, aud lost nil en
thusiasm. At times my head would seem to
whirl and my bourt pa'pitatod terribly. I
ha i no enorgy, no ambition, nnd I seemed
indifferent of the present and thoughtless for
the future. I tried to shake tho feeling off
and persuade myself it was simply a cm tor
a little malaria. But it would not go. 1 was
determined not to give up, and so time passed
along and all the while 1 was get'ing worse.
It was about this time that I noticed Fluid lie
gun to bloat fearfully. My limbs were swol
len so that by pressing my fingers upon them
deep depressions would lie made. My fnoe
also begun to enlarge, an 1 continued to until
1 could scarcely see out of my eyes. Ono of
my friends, describing my npearnneo at
that time, said : 'It is an animated some
thing, but 1 should like to know what.' In
this condition I passed several weeks of the
greatest ngony.
' Finally, one Saturday night, tho misery
culminated. Nature could endure no more.
1 became irrational and apparently insensible.
Cold swtat gathered on my forehead; mv
eyes became glazed and my throat rattled.
1 seemed to bj in another sphere and with
other surroundings. I kucw nothing of
what occurred around mo, although
1 have since learned it was considered as
death by those who stood by. It was to me
a quiet state, nnd yet one of great ngony. I
was helpless, hopeless and pnin was my only
companion. I remember trying to see what
was beyond mo, but the mist before my eyes
was too great. 1 tried to reason, but I liad
lost all power. I felt that It was death, and
realized how terrible it was. At last the
strain upon my mind gave way and nil was
a blunk. How long this continued 1 do not
know, but at last 1 realized the presence of
friends and recognized my mother. I then
thought it was earth, but was not certain. I
gradually regained consciousness, how
ever.aud the pain les oned. I found that my
friends had, during my unconsciousness, been
giving me a proj aration I had never taken
before, and tho next day, under the influence
of this treatment, the bloating bet-an to dis
apjwar and from that time on I steadily im
proved, until to-day I am as well as ever be
fore in my life, have no traces ot the terrible
acute Bright' disease, which so nearly killed
me, and all through the wonderful instru
mentality of Warner's Hafe Cure, the rem
edy that brought me to life after I was virtu
ally in another world."
"You have had an unusual experience, Mr.
Cronibie," said the writer, who had been
breathlessly listening to the recital.
" Yes, 1 think I have," was the renly,
"and it has been a valuable lesson to mel I
am certain, though, there are thou-ands of
men and women at this very moment who
have the came ailment which came so near
killing me, and they do not know it. I be
lieve kidney disease is the most deceptive
trouble ia the world. It comeslike a thief in

seems to attack each one differently. It is
quiet, treacherous, an 1 all tho more danger

1 would warn the entire world asjainst it and
urge them to remove it froai the system be
fore it is too late."

Because your stomach is not doing its work properly.
Because your liver is out of order, and wants righting.
Because your blood is thin, and needs iron in it.
Because you are troubled with nervous aches and pains.
Because you are vexed with languor and debility,
All these Reasons Can be Set AsideTiy the Use of Brown's Iron Bitters, which will
Tone vp your enfeebled stomach, and help it to digest.
Jicfresh your wearied liver and put it in splendid order.
Bnrich your watery blood, and give it a rich red color.
Calm your worried nerves, and give them restful peace.
Strengthen your whole system and drive debility and languor out.
Considering that any man who has a dollar may buy of the nearest
druggist a bottle of Brown's Ikon Hitters, there is no reason why people
should continue to feel budly, just for the fun of it. 4
In the spring, when the blood la slugsiah and Ira pur
rarloua dieordera manifest themselves, auoh as a feeling:
of general deliillly, a eenee of weakness, a want of
appetite, a languor and apsthy, soimtimea a weariness
and laaailude. This condition, enervating and en
feebling. Is wholly overcome by taking Hood's Bsraa
parllla, the rteat blood purl tier,
"Lasteprtngl tried llond'a Saraapanlla, and with
good results. It gave me a good appettto, and seemed
to build me over. I oheerfully recommend it as a re

I had been much troubled by general debility.
Last spring Hood's Raraapartlla proved Just th thing:
