French Naval Officer.
Jean Bart, a French naval com-
of the last part of the
century, was at one time
ordered to convey the Prince de
a candidate for the throne of
Poland, to ii voyage fraught
with danger, as his vessel must pass
through the waters where were
cruising the hostile fleets of the
English and Dutch. During the
passage the little squadron was
by the enemy, and Hart, as
soon as they were reported, called
his little sou to him and gave him
instructions. The pursuit
continued for eight hours, and at
the end of that time the enemy was
no longer in sight. Then Dart went
down into the cabin, where the
prince had been sitting in ignorance
of the day's excitement.

Civilized Art.
It is generally believed, by the
simple and unlearned, that the art
of advertising is of comparatively
modern invention, but a very slight
study of the subject u ill be sufficient
to convince the inquirer that it is,
in point of fact, one of the most an-
of all civilized arts. Indeed,
the advertisement was probably
coeval with the first man who had
something to dispose of or with the
first woman who wanted something
she not got. It seems not
possible that the serpent tempted
Eve to partake of the apple by
means of a set-
ting forth the merits of the fruit as
a complexion Be that
ii may, the uses of advertisement
v. ere known at a very early date to
the Israelites, who were accustomed
to the streets of their cities
with tin utterances of kings and
prophets.
The ancient too, were
much given to advertisement, chief-
Iv through the medium of the town
trier, who, however, was not permit-
to offend the ears of the citizens
with his proclamations unless he
were accompanied by a musician to
give him the correct pitch. The
fact that had been stolen
or damaged was made known by
means of curses, inscribed
sheets of lead, which were affixed to
the statues of infernal deities in the
temple, the vengeance of the gods
being thus invoked upon the
who had stolen or injured the
goods. A rider was usually
added, to the effect that should the
property be returned, or recompense
be paid, the owner would intercede
with the gods for a remission of the
punishment.
The Romans also made use of the
town crier to proclaim laws,
or sales, and the walls of the
streets were covered with notices
painted in black or red or inscribed
upon and let into
the pillars on either side of houses
and shops. Many of these wall ad-
were found in
and Pompeii, among the
most interesting the an-

AN ANCIENT MILL.

the grinding of corn at a mill in

process commenced.
The mill was operated all night

mammoth cotton convention held at
New Orleans, January 11th 13th,
passed a resolution
endorsing the holding move-
for fifteen cents advocated
the continued holding of the unsold
portion of the crop for that price
independent of day pledging.
The executive committee of the as-
subsequently endorsed the
action of the convention and all
spot holders were earnestly asked to

advanced to over ten cents early in
July in the face of a bale
This year the crop is
bales less. Consumption is far
greater year than last, and the
prices of all lines of cotton

FUTURE COTTON CROP SELLING A
HANDICAP.
The leaders of the National and
I Cotton Growers Association in
their efforts to sustain the farmers
y in holding their cotton for higher
prices, or rather for fifteen cents,
lose sight of a most important
tor, which plays a leading part, if
cotton is to be sustained and sold at
any minimum price in the future.
This the future cotton sell-
of cotton farmers.
Since cotton has reached ten cents
and above, the price has been one
which has satisfied the majority of
farmers, specially those who have
struggled in years past, and raised
cotton to be sold around six cents.
Therefore cotton selling at ten
cents in the winter months, or even
this figure, a good many
farmers have been willing to enter
into the sale of their prospect-
cotton crop at prices about the
same as might be prevailing during
the winter months, so that cotton
, buyers in seine sections practically
controlled the entire acreage
for the season.
There is no question but that in
the past two years, many farmers
have done well by thus selling their
future crop of cotton, for when they
were prepared to market their cot-
ton, the then prevailing market
price was in some instances one to
k two cents lower than the price at
which they had contracted to sell
d at they were delivering
heir staple. This baa given the
farmer a new position, in the
crop selling, and when cotton
has reached eleven cents, it has not
hard for cotton buyers to make
for the next cotton crop.
Two things result from this. The
grower who thus sells is out
f the market, so far as being able
CO operate with as-
for his output belongs to
someone besides himself, and it
must also follow that having con-
his crop at some fixed price,
the farmer going to put in so
great an acreage as possible, and
this again removes him from enter-
any movement that the
association may try to make up for a
reduced acreage.
Thus it is that this future crop
of cotton by the farmer, must
prove a sci handicap to those
who may try to have any minimum
price, or who seek to have a
movement of the. farmers to
reduce their acreage.
Whether this future crop selling
is a wise thing the individual
farmer to do, another question.
it is only as to its effect on the
association that is now
