In' the last six years the cotton mills of
the South have increased in number from
161 to 310, and in productions ei;hty-~
eight per cent. iThey have secured new
markets, and are now largely exporting
goods.
According to Science, it would appear
that the “bogus butter issue“ is not con~
fined to the l’nited States. A similar
agitation is taking place in India, and a
bill dealing with the adultcration of

reSponse to the urgtvnt demands of the
native community, has recently been

A rock which the Sioux Indians l‘.(‘:ll‘
Fort \‘atss, Dakota, liaa‘o' worshipul'for
generations as the petrified form of a ,
K’young squaw was formally unveiled the
.Othcr day and dedicated to peace and
plenty. It appears that the white settlers ,
in'thc vicinity have long supposed that
this strange spc inicn of nature‘s art
work exerted a restraining intlucnce on
the Indians, but of late the rock has been
rerinp‘c’d from its original resting place,
and it was feared that with its removal
its chirm had disappeared. 5'0 the sug»
gestiou was made to Sitting Bull that
the statue b\ placed upon a permanent
. pedestal and unveiled with appropriate
ceremonies. This plcascd the Chieftain,

The objeét of National and State agri-
cultural dcpartments Enid experiment
stations is the promotion of agriculture
by such scientific investigation and care-
ful experiments as are impossible to the
average farmer, and require the skill of
professional chemists, botanists, ento-
‘mologists, mineralogists and other
Ipecialists. At the experiment stations
analyses and field tests are made of com:
mercial fertilizers; tests are made of the»
purity and germinating pOwcr of various
needs offered for sale; of new varieties
.9! plants; of the leading methods in ag-
riculture; the solving of questions relat—
ing to the commercial “uses of feeding
stuffs for animals is sought; farm pests,
both plant and insect, are identified and
remedies devised for them. In a word,
their purpose is to investigate the nu~ ~
merous vexed questions and daily prob‘
lcmsrthat confront the farmer. These
departments and stations, owing their
existence to action of the Government,
are for the benefit of the people. If,
therefore, a farmer wants a fertilizer an~
alyzed, a mineral or sample of peculiar
Ioil examined, a grass or weed named:
uninsect identified, or any similar infor-
mation, and does not: wish to paythe
price ”of expert insistence, he has the
right. to send his specimen and ask
information from the experiment station
of his State; it there be one; if not,
from the Department of Agriculture.
This is a right, however, which in com
: gideration of the courtesy and patient}:
of the workers at. these institutions,
should be exercised with moderation and
u" recollection of the many questions pro-
paraded for them to investigate. All
letters of inquiry should be directed to

Bricks Tlial Will Float.
“Floating palaces" are often spoken
of, but mostly by afigure of speech to
des.:rib: certain splendid steamslups.
But now it seems that modern llnprOV‘cv
ment has made it posdble to build ,a
brick house on the sea (ll. "floating
bri.ks are now successfully produced in
France, the material of which they are
composed beinga kind of earth found in
v Tuscany, consisting of fiftydive parts of
' sandy earthytiiteen otmaguesim fourteen
of water, twelve alumina, three line, one
iro'n. It exlfalcs a clay-like odor, and,
when sprinkled with water, throws out a
light. whiti~h smoke. It is infusiblc in
the fire: and though it loses aboutan
eighth part. of its weight, its bulk is
scarcely diminished. Bricks composed
‘ of this substance, either baked or uu~
baked, float in the water, and a twen-
tieth part of - clay may be added to their
composirion without taking away their
property of swimming. These bricks re~
sist water, unite perfectly with lime, are
subject to no alteration from the heat or
cold, and the baked difi'er from the un~'
baked only in the sonorous quality which
they acquire from the fire. Their strength
is a little inferior to that of common
bricks, but much greater in proportion to
their weight. Thus a floating brick,
measuring seven inches in breadth, and
one inch eight lines in thickness, is said
to weigh only fourteen and one~fourth
ounces, whereas acommon French brick
was found to weigh five pounds and
nearly seven« ounces-San Francisco

the Forty-Ninth Congress.
Measures That Were Postponed
From the First Session.
b second semion of the Forty~ninth Cou-
gmsshasagreat deal of work to do. and
very little time iu'whicb to do it. The first
session lasted nearly eight months, from De
cember 7, as. to August 5, RS6. The sec—
. 0nd session will last less than three months»
from December 6, 18%, to March i, 1557.
The holidays must. come out. of tie session,
and perhaps a great consumption of time
will have to be allowed for speeches on the
labor question as connected with general
politim.
More than 13.00:). liillsand joint resolutions
were introduced into the two Housrm during
the first session. Of the e fewer than athou-
