THE NEW COTTON PICKER.
A South Carolina Invention OF Viii
Much is Expected.

Much is Expected.
The following is a brief description of
the cotton picking machine invented by
Mr.. Mason, Of Sumter, s. c.: Upon a
single axle, 4 feet long, and wheels 81
feet in diameter, rests light framework
of white oak, hickory and poplar, ~ feet
long and feet high. To this a horse is
attached at the front right-hand corner,
and ne walks ahead Of one wheel in a
furrow or GALLEY" The other wheel runs
plants passes under and through the mid
die Of the machine as it advances.
Near each of the front corners OF
the harvester is a perpendicular shaft,
which is made TO reyolve by chain bands
and gearing connected with one Of the
side wheels. Each shaft bristles with
sixty or seventy picking stems,' slen-
der, pointed. tubular, horizontal. radiat-
ing rOds-as if eight or nine rimless
wheels, each with eight spOkes, were
strung one above another on the shaft.
And these rods project so far that those on
one shaft overlap those on the other. AS
the horse joys along through the cotton
field, therefore, these fingers are thrust in
among the twigs and bolls Of the plants as
the latter pass backward between the re-
yolving uprights. The interlacing rods by
the rotation of the shafts move backward
at the same rate, so that they do not break
or seriously disturb the plants. These hOl-
low picking STEMS" an inch and half in
| diameter, and made of smooth, polished
brass, are pierced with numberless OblOug
| holes, through which barely prOtrude
| sharp hooked teeth. so delicately adj usted
/ that hand or nOn-ibrOus substance may
| be passed over the surface OF the rod
/ without catching. But when they come
| in contact with the fbrous contents of an
\ open boil they take hold and with a
| tWirling motion tear them out Of the pod
/ As the shaft reyolyes the horizontal rods
! carry their silken freight backward and
/ around to the outside Of the machine
/ The teeth are then reversed and drop
/ their burden into boxes, whence an
| elevator takes it to bag at the top and
/ rear OF the machine. These bags contain
about seventy-fve pounds, and wheI
/ filed are detached by the driver and

CHOLERA TREATMENT IN INDIA
The Prescription Which Proved Eff
feetuaI in Dealing With the Disease.

The Prescription Which Proved Ef-
fectuaI in Dealing With the Disease.
SIN the few cases where the patients
died. says DR.. Fairbanks in the Mission
ary Herald, ''they either did not take the
medicine till the disease had nearly done
its work, or, as I found on inquiry, the
medicine was not taken according to the
directions. 1 have noticed that camphOr
is an ingredient in most Of the medicines
that have proved useful in the treatment
Of cholera, and regard it as a specific for
stopping the vomiting and purging Of
serum, that accompany this disease. /
think that camphor stops the separation
Of serum from the blood. But its action
needs to be modified by the administration
Of some alkaline substance, which VIII
make the kidneys act powerfully, and
remove the serum and other watery sub
stances which have accumulated in the
stomach and intestines.
ssIf these substances are allowed to
remain they cause blOatIng and conse-
quent death. l RTe found nitre most
active and eficie a corrective for the
pills containing a grain each Of camphor
and nitre, giving one at once each time
the patient had YOmited, and continuing
thus till the vomiting ceased. Then /
gave six or eight grains Of nitre dissolved
in a little water. If this did not cause
urine to flow within an hour, or, in urgent
cases. within half an hour. would give
another similar dose Of nitre. Unless
urine flows. there is little TO expect
recovery. In one case, when the nitre did
not take effect and the patient was much
bloated / gave an emetlc, and 50 removed
the fluids from the stomach, and the
patient recovered"

Campaign Anecdote.

Shortly after Mr.. Blaine was nominated
he called on a friend in Washington and
found him very much worked up over a
new arrival in the family. which, in defer
enee to the honOrs lately conferred upon
the illustrious battery, was named James
G.. Blaine Jones. Mr.. Blaine was a con-
slant visitor at the house for several
weeks after this event, until one unfOrtu-
nate afternoon he called there and found
all the family out except the baby and his
little brother.
ssHelIo. Blaine. said the youngster.
ssI'm darned glad you came. I'm tired

and after wreaking his vengeance on all
within reach, he left the house forever.

THE GIANT WANTS A DIVORCE
His Second Wife Kicks Against Hi.
Methods.

Col. Routh Goshen, better known as
Barnum's Arabian giant, says a New
York special, has brought SUIT against
his wife, Mary Louise Goshen, for divorce.
The Colonel is eight feet high. His wife
is an average size woman. She first met
the Colonel when he was travelling with
the Townsend show in Illinois. She was
cousin Of the fat woman Of the show. and
used to 90 in free and gaze admiringlv at
the Colonel. The Colonel was then mar
ried 70 Augusta White, the snake-charmer
Of the show. Mary Louise was Miss
Welsh, Of Elgin, then, and but ID years
old. In 1879 she again met the Colouel in
Chicago. He was still living with his
snake-charmer on his New Jersey farm,
but the same year he got divorces from
her on the ground Of infdelity, and IN
1880 was married to Miss Welsh. They
lived together until last fall, when the
giant went West, sending two men TO live
on the farm near New Brunswick. Y. J. =.
and then in March began proceedings for
divorce against his wife on the ground OF
infidelity with the strangers. Mrs. Goshen
is going to fight the suit, and claims TO
have a perfect defense, and at the same
time proof that she ought to have d.
Yorce from her giant.
