IT is now claimed that the cot
ton picking machine invented by
c. I Mason, of South Carolina, is
a success. The machine was tested
in cotton field near Sumter, a
few days ago, in the presence of
committees from the New York
Cotton Exchange and the Charles
ton Exchange and representatives
of the State Agricultural Depart
ment. The machine picked cot
ton at the rate Of 1Se pounds per
hour without injuring the bolls
or plants. The general opinion
of those present appears to be that
the machine is correct in principle,
does fairly good work now, and
can be made completely success
full. 1t is officially announced that
this machine will be on exhibi-
ton at the approaching Georgia
State Fair at Macon, and arrange
ments have been made to test it
in cotton field near the far
grounds.

BELLIES SWIM FOR PRIZES.
A Scene Which was Not Witnessed
by Any Bold, Bad Men.

BERKELEY SPRINGS, Aug. 2S.-There
was novel entertainment given here a
few days since by a wealthy Baltimore
lady, who has her cottage near by, and
drives q four-in-hand. The invitations,
which were sent to the ladies only, read,
ITO the Water Party" The gentlemen's
pool, which is sixty feet long by twelve
feet wide, was borrowed for the occasion.
It's waters were turned off, and after
thorough cleaning IN and about it, was
pronounced ready for the fair bathers.
On the knob OF every dressing stall was
pinned a pink ribbon, Ornamented with
the hanG-painted name of the young Indy
who was to be the occupant. On the in
side there was centre table, piled with
cakes, fruits and flowers for the benefit OF
the beauties when they emerged from the
waves.
No masculine eyes were permitted to
gaze even at the remotest distance upon
this enchanting scene. The young la
dies. among whom were bellies from
Was hingtOn, Baltimore, Philadelphia and
New York, entered the limpid
waters in brIlliant-hued and alb
breviated trunks 70 participate
in swimming matches and to cut
fancy figures for the delight of their
female friends surrounding the great
pool IN party toilets.
One of the great prizes was awarded to
the young lady who could swim fastest
with her teeth stuck in an apple and an
orange poised upon her head. But one
of the young ladies got across with the
orange, and it was discovered that she
had long hair javelin run through her
HAIR and into the fruit.
But there was another test where there
was no chance for cheating. A young
lady would take her seat in the bottom of
the pool, with her head under the water,
and holding her nose. The other would
swim over her. The one remaining the
longest took the cake.
One of the bellies is quite an expert
swimmer. and fioated under the water to
the delight OF the danes and damsels on
the margin. She is a beautiful young
woman, with the figure of Venus. Even
the ladies agree with entire unanimity as
to the beautiful features and symmetrical
proportions.
1t was great treat for the young ladies',
as well as Tor the spectators, and enliv-
ened the inland watering place in a man.

back to Nashville aud conveyed TO the

During all of Thursday the hero Of two
wars was fighting his battles over, his un-
conscious brain shaping the rattle of pass

kerry. Late yesterday afternoon heavy
wagon drove past the house and the rum
bling sound evidently awakened the mem
cries of other DAYS. and raising his head
the commander whispered:
''Tbere goes the troops-bring me my
horseV
He talked much of the days gone, still
in his reclining chair. Yesterday his con-
dition became visibly much worse and
death became a matter OF hours only.
Last night at precisely l O'Clock. while
his brother Felix and John A. and the
Generals wife were moving him into a
more comfortable position, he suddenly
breathed his last, the noble heart had
ceased it's toll. His last conscious words
were to his wife, whom he called to him

THE GOOSE BONE.
How the True Kentuckian ForetelIs
AUTHORIZATIONS of the Weather.


Fron,tts Christian at Work.
The goose bone may be called ''Ken-
tucky's weather prophet" In many
farm houses it Will be found hanging in
the hall, ana old men who have had it for
years say that the genuine bone never
tails. The real bone can only be OBJ
tanned from goose that was hatched out
In the spring-the month OF May Is said
TO be the best The goose must not be
killed until Indian summer has passed
away. After cooking remove the breast
bone, scrape it clean and then wash it In
warm water and let it dry for q day or
two.
When it has been thus prepared hold it
up to the sun, or in front of lamp in a
dark room is better. and the discolora-
lions may be easily deciphered. and TO
one who knows the bone the reading Is as
plain as book. A bone shown to a re-
porter was taken from a goose Matched
out in May. row OF dots found along
the keel OF the bone indicates the temper
ature, and the darker the spots the colder
will be the weather. Some light cloudy
discoloratlons that spread out over the
keel of the bone are indications OF falling
weather, and the darker these discolora-
lions the more rain or snow there Will be.
The marks dividing the bone indicate
meucing at the 'front.' A careful reading
of the bone indicates much more regular
weather than was had last year, and not
30 severe. There will not be many days
during which running water Will freeze.
The coolest weather will occur during the
first half of January, ana along between
the 9TH and 18th there will be severe
days OF freezing. 1t will be the severest
part OF the whole season.
Near the point II the bone the discolOra-
ton is little heavy, thus showing that
the first day OF winter will give proof of
the seasons change. This will be fol-
lowed by rising temperature and falling
temerature aud falling weather for Christ
mas. January will be ushered in cold,
aud the cold will strengthen as the days
lengthen, the coolest days OF winter fall
ing about JAMS This severe weather
will be brief, followed by rising tempera-
ture and heavy thaws, and the last nslt OF
the month will see many rains aud SHOWS.
During February there win nat he any
very cold weather, but it will DE rather
disagreeable month, with snow and rain.
A few cold days is all that the month
will contribute 10 winter. An early and
decided thaw Is among the promises OF
the bone. The February thaw will over
now the mountain steams, and disast-
rous floods may he looked for. Altogether
the winter viii be what is known as an
open season good wheat year.
