COTTON MILL SCENES.
Processes Employed to Convert Raw Cot
 ton Into Prime Sheeting.

Processes Employed to Convert Raw Cot
 ton Into Prime Sheeting.
 The cotton used is bought at various Southern points. It arrives here in cars. On it's arrival the bales, which contain about 500 pounds each of cotton, are put in building adjoining the picker room; this is called the mixing room. The cotton is first run through the willow, where a number of toothed cylinders, revolving 2,500 revolutions minute, re- move most of the dust. It next goes through a fine picker where still more dust is removed, then it goes through the finishing picker where it is rolled up into laps. This machine is regulated by an ingenious governor so that the laps are of uniform size. The laps of cotton pass on to the card room where the fiber is disentangled, brushed and combed then it is deposited in beautiful f1eeces on an endless belt, which conducts it to the railway head, where the straight ened fiber is contracted into a narrow ribbon and is deposited sin a revolving can ready for the next process. The cards which straighten the fibre of the cotton are clothed with @ n6edle-pointed wire which are kept sharp, being ground by an automatic grinder, a machine which has yielded it's inventor good many dollars. The grinder is attached to card in the morning and by night has it ground sharp. From the railway head the cot ton goes to the drawing frames, and when it has passed through two of them the twelve strands have been merged into one. Automatic fingers stop these machines on the breakage of any one of the strands. It next visits the coarse speeder which very swiftly. winds in on bobbins, and then the fine speeder which twists together two strands from the coarse speeder. One half of the cotton from the speeders goes to the spinning mules, where rapid revolving spindles twists it into thread, winds it into cop ready for the weaver. The other half goes to the eighteen spinning frames where it is spun on bobbins ready for the spoilers, the girls working at the spoilers run the thread off of the bobbins on to large spools. Three hundred and sixty of these spools are placed in warper and with a whirl are made to take their place on large beam, six of these beams are next taken to the slasher, machine that was built in England and imported to this country. When the thread is passing through the slasher it is treated to boiling starch, which is called sizing. After passing through the sizing it emerges from the slasher onto beam one yard wide, which, when filled, holds 2,16O threads, each GAO yards long. These are then harnessed by hand, making complete warp ready for the loom. These beams are then taken to the weave room, where there are 132 looms making a deafening noise weav- ing into the warp the cop thread from the spinning mules. From the loom the cloth goes to the finishing-room-irom there to the folder, and after being stamped, weighed and bailed we now have the finished sheeting.-Des Moines Qa.) Register.

SUCH STRANGE FOLKS.
Uncle Anthony Preferred to Lose Money
 to Having Dealings with Them.

to Having Dealings with Them.
 Anthony Phillips is well-known cit izen of Little Rock. He is something of politician, having at different times worked with'the Democratic and Repub- lican parties; but his chief distinction is that he is the blackest negro in Arkan- saw. The other day Anthony went into a life insurance office and asked for the man who paid out the money.
 "What do you want?" the manager asked.
 ''I want CT thousand dollars" the negro answered. "Erbout three months ergo had my wife's life insured in this company an now want my money, fur de lady is dun dead. Yere's de papers, yere da is, sah."
 "What was the matter with herP" the manager asked.
 ''Got drownded, sah; was down in de country an fell offen CT foot-log inter de water an drownded ez dead as CT mack erel."
 ''Did anybody see her when she fell in?"
 ''Yas, little gal seed her; oh, she fell in all right, an now eff you'll jest count me out CT thousand dollars I'll be mighty 'bliged ter you. Yas, fell in all right enough" ..
 ''Did the coroner hold an inquest over her?" the manager asked.
 ''N-n-n-no, sah, he didn'."
 "Why?"
 'Well, sah, ne an dat man doan speak ter one nuder. We ain't on de same quality CT tall now, sah. Wife she got mad wid him some time ergo an den me an him fell out, an when my wife wuz tuck outen de bayou dead and gone, wy didn't think it wuz jest de right thing ter hab dat coroner hold in his proceedin's over her."
 ''So you buried her without the coro- ner being notified"
 ''Yas, sah, dat's whut we done-'zack- ly whut we done under de 'zisting sar- cumstances, sah. Yas, we done dat"
 "Where did you bury her?"
 "Huh-oh, whar did we bury her?"
 '"That's what asked"
 "Yas, tibby sho'. We set her way of wander whar her sister libes, sah. Uster say dat wen she died she wanted ter be buried way of wander, cage she tuck CT ikin' ter dat country"
 ''What is the name of the place?"
 ''Oh, it's CT little bit O CT place, sah; 'taint ez big ez Argentry jes' ercross de riber yere. Yas, mighty little, no- count kind O CT place-so little dat you wouldn't know it eff you wuz ter see it, sah."
 q don't care any thing about the size. What is the name?"
 ''Oak Bluff is de name O de place, eff dat's whut you wanter know. Way of wander an CT small place, too"
 "Well, no matter how far nor how small. We'll send man out there to dig her up and bring her back here be- fore we pay you; but mind you, if she can't be found, we'll have you sent to the penitentiary for ten years"
 ''Oh, well, now, eff dat's de way you do business you neenter send alter de lady. Jes' let de blame money go. I 'spize ter hab dealins wid sich strange folks. '-Arkansaw Traveller.

AUTOMATIC FOG SIGNAL.
Electricity Sounds the Steam Whistle and
 Records the Result.

Records the Result.
 A new fog-signaling apparatus has lately been perfected in England which is of sufficient merit to attract the at tention of all those interested in the saving of life and property at sea. It calls into use electricity, which admits of the signals being automatically worked and at the same time records every signal as it is given on a band'of graduated paper. This paper forms a complete register of the signals, and is documentary evidence in case of dispute as to whether or not a vessel was sig naling when collision occurred.
 The apparatus consists of single switch which is placed on the vessels bridge, so ths6 the signaling can be con trolled by the officer on watch. When it is desired to blow the signal whistle or to begin the automatic signaling, whatever it's nature may be-. the lever is turned to the under way" notch if the vessel be moving, and the electric current at once begins working the valve of the steam whistle at regular intervals, conforming to what the law specifics. Should the vessel be at an- chor the switch is turned to ''at an- chor," and the bell is rung in the same way. The register consists of the band of paper properly subdivided and moved along by clock-work. A travelling pointer, actuated by an electro-magnet, bricks the paper at every sound of the bell or whistle. The signaling can also be made at will entirely independent of the automatic mechanism by simply pressing button which closes the cir cult leading to the bell or whistle.- N. Y. Herald.

Pardon me, madam" said the studi- ous-looking man in the sixth row of seats, as he leaned forward at the fall of the curtain on the first act, and spoke politely to the lady sitting in front of him, ''but I beg you will not remove your hat"
 "Sir!" she exclaimed, flushing with indignation.
 q fancied from the motions of your hands," he resumed with the utmost suavity, ''that you were about to re move it. Please do not. Oblige me, my dear madam, by keeping it on."
 'You are grossly impertinent, sir!!' said the lady, sharply.
 q beg your pardon, madam" he re- piled, with great earnestness. q am not. l am only a poor inventor and ! am making drawing of your hat as 6 design for Worlds Fair tower "-Chi- cago Tribune.

Two Frenchmen recently made a strange wager One was positive that his cook could prepare dish the chief ingredients of which the other, re- nowned epicure, could not name after eating. When the dish, very savory one, was placed before the epicure, he tasted, smacked his lips, sniffed, but was perplexed. He guessed chicken" frogs" ''tripe," "calf's head" and half dozen other dishes. At last, when he was informed that he had not guessed aright, and confessed himself utterly bewildered, he was informed thatthe dish was composed of oldwhise kid gloves.

Thought They Were Bewitched.

At the village of Reinberg, in Aus
tria, recently very religious family
became possessed with the idea that
they had been bewitched by an old crone
in the village, and the man, with his
three daughter and sons and young
girl who was in the house at the time,
locked themselves in and began to
pray and sing. They remained with.
out food or drink for several days and
fired at neighbors who attempted to
come near the house. They threat
ened to kill the girl when she wanted to
go away. Their cattle were left to
starve in the barn. At last the neigh.
bors secured warrants against them
as insane, and force of asylum Off
GERS, assisted by the peasants, stormed
the place, captured it and took the
family prisoners after o hard fight
One doctor 9 neck was grazed by bull
let, but there were no other casual
ties. The girl was released and the
others incarcerated in an asylum.

A Sewing Machine Mans Talk.

There has been n wonderful change
in the business methods of sewing
machine dealers within the past dec
ade, and that the change is for the
better goes almost without the saying.
There was time when the sewing
machine agent and the lightning-rod
man were looked upon as land pirates
and their approach regarded with
genuine dread. The only way to got
rid Of the sewing-machine agent of
auld lang syne was to give him an
order. The majority OF agents worked
on commission, and they must sell or
starve. Nowadays, the business is
conducted much upon the same plan
as that Of the wholesale grocer or dry
goods dealer. Regular travelling men
are employed, paid salary and ex-
penses, and they sell machines to
those who want them, and not TO those
who do not, but purchase to get rid OF
a bore. Some Of the best commercial
men in the country are now engaged
in the sewing-machine business, and
the dignity added by the adoption of
business-like methods is rapidly put
ting that branch Of trade in the front
rank as desirable occupation. st
