DON'T BELIEVE IN SPRINKLING.-Not
long since Mr.. Lou Wagner presented a
bill to Mr.. G. w. F. Lampkin when the
following eolloquy is said to have passed
between them.
Mr.. .Lampkin-"Don't owe you anything,
I have we'll of better water than your

Mr.. Wagner-"Buty you are mistaken. 1t
is not for drinking purposes" 49,.
"Mr. Lampkin-'Then what is it for 2"
Mr.. Wagner-"It is for sprinkling."
Mr.. Lampkin-"Sprinkling, the de
mischief, I do not believe in sprinkling, l
am Baptist myself. I believe in INNER
sion and am not going back on my con-
victions to the extent of paying any sprink-
ling bills to you Methodists." .
''All right, said Mr.. Wagner, turning
away with dry grin playing around the
northeast corner of his mouth.

moments Mr.. Wagner returned with the
"Mr. &. W. F. Lampkin, DR.. TO Rome

to Mr.. Lampkin, who, after glancing over
it, said, "that is all right, know some

DESIGNED FOR ADETECTIvE.-A colored
man came out of an alley off Michigan Ave
nue. yesterday and inquired of the grocer on
the corner:
''say boss, has you had watermellyon
stole away to-day T'
"Why, I declare, if some one hasn't stolen
a big one which laid on the end of this
shelf" exclaimed the grocer.
"Did you see white man and culld
feller hangin' round yere ?"
'Come to think of it, I did,
"Dem ar de chaps who stole dat mellyon." "
'Did you see them?" asked the grocer.
''Nebber did, sah."
''Then, how do you knOw?"
The colored man took him down the alley
and showed him two heaps of melon rinds,
and exclaimed: .....
eff de mellyon wasn't dun stole nobody
would come in heah to eat it. Dat pile OF
rinds hain't half gnawed. OATS jist the
way white folks eat 'em. De odder pile am
gnawed right down to the bark. Dat's de
work of culld man, an doan' you forget
it. Down dar' am rind all alone. De
chaps got scarf an run'd away afore dey
was dun"
Say, maybe you are sharp enough to
catch 'em," said the grocer.
"Wall, Dunno" was the reply, but in
the course of half an hour the man brought
in hang-dog looking African and turned
him over with the remark:
"Heah's one of 'em, but de odder has
Skipped"
How, "How do you know that this fellow is
"Kase I dun looked for a darky wild a
mellyon seed on his shirt bosom, an heah
he am. He's dun guilty and has got thirty
five cents to settle wild ye."
IT STRUCK HIM Too LATE.-We finally
came to toll-bridge, at the gate of which
was colored man. The charge for two Of
us was seven cents, and it so happened
that neither of us had even small bill.
A five was the smallest, and when it was
handed out the toll-keeper was in fix.
He hadn't change enough into three cents.
swell, we've got to cross" said the COL
onel.
'sReckon you has, but want dem seben
cents"
"It isn't our fault if you have no change"
'tDat's true, but reckon we has got to
fix it somehow. Let's see? Oar am free
cents comm to you?"
cor seben cents comm to mel"
Exactly"
sNow, boss, dar comes Jim. Jim am
lame an doan' git long nohow. He am
good boy, an reckon you'll be inclined to
help him little. He's ridin' my ole mule,
an dat beast hasn't had any fun since de
wah. 'Sposen you let Jim ride dat free
cents out?"
"How?"
nsWhy, he nebber crossed toll-bridge in
his life. It would do him up proud, you
see, an nobody knows how much good it
would do de old mule. ....
The Colonel consented, and Jim rode the
beast in the most solemn manner to the
other side. We followed him across and
rode away with the father calling:
"White man, come back heah! How
gwine to git dat boy back heah widout
payin' four cents toll at de odder eand"'-

WAVES OF LIGHT.-NewtOn imagined
that light consisted of minute particles
travelling at an extremely rapid rate, but
many phenomena noticed since the time of
Newton will not admit of any such theory.
Modern science has had to assume that
space is completely filled by some highly
rarified, almost impalpable fluid, to which
has been given the name of "luminiferous
ether" light being nothing more nor less
than wave-motion set up in this ''ether,"
and travelling along at the rate of $4,000
miles per second.
The waves of light vary in length, pro-
ducing different effects upon the eye, and
so giving rise to the sensation of color.
Very long waves give rise to the sensation
of heat; next to them in length come those
waves which give rise to the sensation of
red the shortest waves which affect the
eye at all give rise to the sensation of vl0-
| let, and then there are shorter waves still
which can only be detected by their action
on chemical substances, as in the case OF the
| photographers plate.
The waves which affect the eye give rise
to many distinct sensations of color. New
ton divided them into seven, but then,
since he used circular hole for the light to
enter the room, his colors Overlapped.
Wollaston, in 1902, tried the use of fine
slit instead of hole for the purpose, and
in doing so gave birth to the spectroscope.
In the spectroscopes of the present day, the
light is seen spread out into broad band,
and one color melts so imperceptibly into
another that it is difficult to say where one
color begins and another ends.
Each wave of Highland there are waves
of all lengths produces its own particular
effect, but the eye cannot detect small diff
ference; the spectroscope sorts out the diff
ferent waves, and arranges them all in
order according to length.-CasselPs Moga-
| zine.

VALUE OF COTTON SEED MEAL AS MAN.
URE.-Will you be kind enough to answer
one question of great Importance to myself
and other farmers. If green cotton seed is
worth twelve dollars per ton, what is cot
ton-seed meal worth as manure? [ have
tried to have it answered here and have
failed.-W. NJ. W., YorkriUe, S. c.
Answer.-On this basis mentioned, cotton
seed meal is worth $50 a ton, speaking in a
general way. 1t is somewhat difficult tc
compare whole cotton seed and cotton SEED
meal as manure. When one desires quick
acting fertilizer, the meal is the better of
the two. Where slower action is desired,
the whole seed are better. For instance,
whole seed would be better than meal to
plow in with small grain in the fall, while
with spring soWn oats, the meal would be
better.-Sohhe,n CultirdtOr.
s9n Black pepper is the cabbage protector,
says the Farming World, and the way to ap-
ply it is to reduce it to very fine powder
and dust it over the plants. Go early in the
morning, when the dew is on the plants,
and dust over each small quantity and the
vermin will leave.
pg Lamp wicks should be changed fire.
quently, if q clear, bright flame is desired.

MARITAL SoLICITUDE.--Horace Smith
once told me good story of night he had
passed in stage coach, when railways were
not, and the journey from one part of Eng
land to another was a serious undertaking.
I forget where he was going, but the dis
tance was considerable, and the four inside
passengers naturally endeavored to settle
themselves as comfortably as circumstances
would permit. Two of them were mar
ried couple, the husband sitting with his
back to the horses, and evidently not alto
gether at his ease. About half an hour af-
ter starting he turned to his wife and anX-
> iously inquired if she was comfortable.
"Pretty WE'LL" she replied, in drowsy
tone.
"You feel no draught from the window ?"
"None at ALL"
"Quite sure?"
"Quite." .........
"Ah!" remarked the affectionate spouse,
after momentary pause, 'then suppose we
change places"
AN AMICABLE ARRANGEMENT" How
is it, uncle Rastus," said a gentleman to an
old darkey, "that you never married :?
Aren't you an admirer of the softer sex ?"
II fo't er duel wunce bout er gal, sab, !"
replied uncle Rastus
"a duel?"
Eyes, sab; yeahs an yeahs ago. Sam
Jackson an lnyse'fwe bof dubbed same gal ;
we were bof boun' ter git her, and de busi-
ness climaxated in er duel. We bof wah q
trihe nahvous, sab, an 'sted OBJ me hittin'
Sam, or Sam hittin' me, we brought down a
vallyble mule dat wah standin' neah de
fence"
"And did you fire again ?" asked the gen.
tleman, very much interested.
mo, sab dat was very vallyble mule,
boss, an we bof got kinder skeart like. So
we entered into an americable prearrange-
ment."
"How did you settle it?"
"Sam TUX de gal an greed to pay TO- de
mule, an I hain't nebber dubbed sence."
