SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
Melons by the Million.

The railroads are preparing to handle
the largest Georgia watermelon crop
this year they have ever handled. Ad-
vices received from growers and agents
show that the acreage this year exceeds
that of last year by about 5000 acres,
and that the total acreage in Georgia is
between $4,000 and 10000 acres. The
reports also show that the crop is in
good condition, and with fair prospects
OF large yield. Georgia melons fill
the markets Of the country. The Flori-
da melons come on few days earlier,
but the crop is SO small, comparatively,
and SO soon gone, that it practically cuts
no figure in the market.

pound of powder, pair of shoes and

shoes in the pan, set the pan in the

directly on it, and started home. He
was not smoking, and no fire was about
the wagon, but mile out of town the
powder exploded, knocking him out of
off and burning him terribly about the
face and body. The bright tin had acted
as a sun-glass to concentrate the rays
of the sun to focus on the powder.
A Fenaie Horse-Thief.
Tarrant county, Tex, still enjoys the
distinction of having woman confined
within the walls of her Jail charged
with horse-theft. not only horse-theft
but the crime of taking horse, buggy
and harness. Mrs Cornelia McGee is
her name. She claims to have pur-
chased it from a stable rustler, named
Charley Jones, but this plea seems to be
as thin as water. The woman is well
known in Fort Worth, but her efforts
to make bond are in vain. Her 12-year-
old daughter occupies the cell with her.
Hemp-Growing in Kentucky.
In Kentucky the average product of
an acre of hemp is from 1000 to / 400
pounds of fiber, worth about &c per
pound. The cost of planting, harvest
ing and scutching is about S25 per acre,
SO that it can easily be seen that hemp
is very profitable crop. Any good
corn or wheat land will grow hemp,
and there is a great demand for the
fiber for twines and other manufacture

The reservoirs OF natural gas were once
thought to be inexhaustible. 1t was even
maintained that the gas is produced in the
underground labora tories faster than il eau

have been exhausted and have ceased to
flow. AMI the supply from new one is
diminished as soon as another is sunk In its
vicinity. However. no community which
las once enjoyed tie blessings of a gas fuel
will willingly return to the use of coal. Gas
has become almost a necessity, and human
ingenuity is now at work in a thousand d.
rections to invent methods for producing it
cheaply and abundsntly from coal or other
materials in order that, wien the natural
supply is exhausted, an equally good arti-
fetal supply may take its place.
Communities VIII Oh cannot obtain natural
gas are already demanding an artificial
product that shall give them equal advan-
tages with localities supplied by nature
with this perfect fuel. Gas stored in porta-
BILE tanks is being used as fuel beneath the
boilers OF locomotives and steamboat ell
gines, and indications point to its substitu-
ton for coal in the near future on a still
wider scale than at present.

From day Of toll or pleasure back again we

From the moiling working places, filled with

Now 10 seek kindly shelter in the haven OF

On her nest among the branches now the

With her little ones safe nestled underneath
her loving breast;
Now the cows their milk are giving into pals
all white with foam;
Now from blossoms warm and sunny HE the
bees back, rich with honey,
And the blcating lambs come nibbling down
the pathway toward their home
Soon the fircfiies flash their beacons in and
out the gardens gloom,
While within the lamp shines softly on the

In our arms the children slumber with their
feet too tired TO roam;
out from dcwy woodland covers whispering
come the happy lovers;
In the blessed night we gather in the haven
Of our home.
