NOW tn. Deacon Got Even.

II was Elder Buzzell who called on a
worthy deacon to open a meeting with
prayer. and was Surprised when the
good man began his petition with ''oh,
thou great and Insignificant God"'
Omnipotent, brother; you mean
omnipotent God" whispered the horri-
fed pastor.
Huh :" CALCULATED the surprised Emp
plicant What's that you say?"
The preacher repeated the correction
whereupon the deacon continued his
prayer to great length, and concluded
as follows:
"Finally, Lord, bless our eddieated
parson. stuff him with religion as well
as with words; break him OF tho habit
OF fault-fndin'. II possible, and at the
'leventb hour gather him with the
saints in thy kingdom.
Elder Buzzell. who was fond OF telling
the story, always ended by declaring
that il was his first and last attempt at
correcting the speech o{ his brethren.

THE WoRK OF THE TEACHER.

To recognise what is good is the work
of the teacher, and there is no human
soul in existence in which some divine
life and light may not shine. You have
seen the so called bad boy. I have
sometimes said there were no bad boys,
and teachers have been very much
shocked. We we're discussing bad boys
once in an institute l held at Estes Park,
in the Rocky mountains, and talking
about the treatment of so.called bad and
dull boys. My dear teachers, when you
look into the child's soul with prayer
full desire to find the good that is there,
and awaken it unto life, you will find it
lust as sure as there is divine nature to
lead you, and you will find the remedy.
Look at the child and not the results to
be obtained externally. One teacher
told of boy who came into the school
house and crouched into corner with q
sullen, dogged face. What did that
mean? Some teachers would say:
"That is bad boy. I shall have to
whip him" What does that crouching,
covering attitude mean9 Nothing very
bad. It means: "Nobody cares for me,
and I care for no one" He went into
the school. house hating arithmetic and
grammar, but the teacher said: "I will
find that child's soul find the spark and
awaken it to life" And she found it.
She knew the boy loved to fish, and
loved birds, and searched for them on
the Platte river, 80 she got the converse.
ton Greeted that way about birds and
fish, asked one pupil after another ques-
tions about them, and at last she saw
that be began to look up, and she said I:
"John, do you know anything about
the fish in the Platte river?" Now he
did not say this, but this is what came
into his soul: "Kuow about the birds
aud fab {? Why, is thaiIkuowledge? Is
that what school is for? Yes, do
know" and the spark mas famed into a
flame, and a man sat there in the image
of his Maker. Find that spark and often
you will find it is in some deep love the
boy or girl has for the study of nature.
It is sometimes we'll for us teachers who
are burdened with work, and who have
our routine to follow day after day, week
after week, to look up and see something
brighter and higher.-Co5. Parker. in tht

A Charge of Shot

When standing within few yards of q
guns muzzle at the time. of discharge.
a person would be amazingly astonished
were he only able TO see the shot as they
90 whizzing by. Experiments in instan.
taueous photography have proved to US
that the shot not only spread out, comet
like, as they fly, but they string out one
behind another to much greater dis
tance than they spread. Thus, with q
cylinder gun, ahen the first charge OF
shot reaches a target that is forty yards
away, the last shot is tagging along ten
wards behind. Even with the choke bore
gun some of the shot will lag behind
some eightyards in forty. This accounts
for the wide swath that is mown in a
flock of ducks on which charge of shot
falls Just right. About five per cent.
only of the charge of shot arrives stimuli
taneously at the target, but the balance
of the first half of the charge is so close
behind that a birds muscles are not
quick enough to get out of the way,
although those who have watched sitting
birds when shot at have often seen them
start as if to fly when the leaden shot
whistled by them, only to drop dead as
they were oyertaken by the leaden hail

Just as we had about consumed the pies
we heard the boys quarreling over in the
woodsa about the division of the money
Listening, we heard one of the boys, in s

"'Now, Bill, gol darn your aoul, you've

Picking Machine Company, with q capi.
tai of S5,O00,000. George Gnrley, OF
Waco, Texas, is the president; Seth Tur.
ner, of Chicago, secretary.
They will establish o factory in Chi
cago, they say, at cost of at least $780,

machine will cost between $500 and $500.
Last year, they say, it cost nearly $780,.

claim that their machine will do it for
one tenth that sum, aud that the quality
of the cotton will be improved. One
machine will do the work of twenty mel.
The cotton picker consists of two.
wheeled cart, with boxed receptacle to
catch the picked cotton. The wheels
give motion to the machinery by simple
cog connections. The cylinder looks like
a grain thrasher cylinder, except that the
teeth, or fingers, are from four to six times
longer and revolve with the cylinder.
They also have another distinct, different
and more rapid revolution. The forward
motion of the cart corresponds exactly to
the travel of the fingers or spiudles on
the cylinder, or mechanically offsets the
forward motion of the car wheels, so that
while the apindles are permeating all
through the cotton stalks they at the
same time remain perfectly motionless IS

Mechanically the fingers extend through
the bush spinning on all ripe cotton, and
