Boston's Big willow.

In a recent visit to Boston was very
much interested in observing the va
-rious kinds Of weeping trees to be seen
in that vicinity. Many that are not at
all common, yet quite hardy withal, are
to be seen planted In permanent loca-
tions and growing thriftily, says q
writer in Vick's Magazine. The finest
specimen have ever seen stands close
to the lake near the bridge, in Boston
Public Garden. It is nearly or quite
three feet in diameter, with q stem Of
three feet where it branches and spreads
its magnificent dropping spray over o
circle of seventy-five or eighty feet. Its
height is about Afty feet. A drizzling
rain prevented my sketching 1t, but I
hope some. enterprising horticultural
journal will have It photographed and
hand it down to posterity as the most
perfect weeping willow ever grown

DESIRABLE SERVANTS.
Those with Amictions Arc tho Most
Troctable.

Those with Ahictions Arc tho Most
Tractable.
A lot of women were discussing the
servant problem, says the New York
Epoch, and one clever woman put for
ward an entirely new idea as the desir-
able requirements for q servant. II
have grown modest in late years." she
said. II no longer demand, as used
TO, that my cook shall know how to
cook, or that my waitress shall under
stand sewing-not at all. The one de-
imand do make in the servant who
lcomes to me Is that she shall have q
grief. ADVERTISE: Wanted, q cook
with grief-serviceable and warranted
to last There's nothing that will
make woman so tractable and teacha-
ble as grief. And. you see, woman
with an affection doesn't want to be off
nights like gay-hearted girls. She
stays at home and nurses her sorrow
and thinks up little things to do about
the house meantime. Such a woman
will accomplish . great amount Of
work. What kind of grief do l find
most serviceable? A disappointment in
love, If treat it with deep considera-
ton and respect, will last the longest
longer even than mourning for dead
husband. For widows, you know, are
much like babies-they cry good deal
the first six months, then they begin to
take notice, and they're very hard to
bring through the second summer"

franklin and the French.

BY his manners and ways Of life he
became the most popular man In
France, so that when he gained his pre-
sentation to the King his future was as
sured. As he passed through the streets
OF Paris he was followed by admiring
eyes and cheered loudly by enthusiastic
voices, says the Century. A contempo-
rary writes: "A friend of mine paid
something for place at q two-pair-of-
stairs window to see him pass by in his
coach, but the crowd was 80 great that
he could but bcrely say he saw him.
He was the Frenchman's embodiment
Of the IDEAL citizen. republican, philoso-
\pher and friend. He completely cap
tivated and captured the people Of
France, whom he perfectly understood.
and he well knew that popular man
becomes soon more powerful than pow
,eritself.'" Condorcet said: ut was an
honor to have seen him People re-
peated what they had heard him say.
Every fete which he consented to re-
ceive, every house where he consented
to go, spread in society new admirers,
who became SO many partisans of the
American revolution"

THE TIME TO RETIRE.
Regularity in tho Hour to BE Observed

Regularity in tho Hour to BE Observed
Rather Than Earliness.
1t is all nonsense about "beautT
sleep" coming in the hours before mig
night, and that the rosy cheeks of I'd
country lass is the reward of retiring
at the time when tho proverbial pald
faced city girls evening commenceS
The late hours of fashionable lit
would not necessarily scatter the roses
from the cheeks If the late hour for r9
firing could be the same every nigh
without variation. It is irregular houris
and meals that cause pale and haggarq
faces. The handsomest couple l evel
saw, says a writer in the Chicago
Herald, retired regularly at half pas
eleven, and always indulged in ligh{
lunch just before retiring. They vert
both pictures Of health. The lady did
not look over twenty-five, though shS
never hesitated to say that she waSS
thirty-eight years old, and the husband
looked at least ten years younger thac
he really was. They were both da
votees to the laws Of health. For yeals
they have allowed nothing to interfef1f
with the regularity of sleeping and eat
ing hours. Almost the midnight houf
was chosen for retiring, because it Al
lowed them evenings at the theater and
an hour or SO at even the most fashiop
able receptions. When alone in thek
home they never indulged in an earliea
hour, because then it untitled them fof
entertainment of which they were very
fond

KANcARoos FOR AMERICA.

A Project ON Foot to Raise Them in This
Country.
We are assured on what seems good
authority, says the Helena MONTY Ga
zette, that the project of importing kan
garoos into this country is seriously en-
tertained by several enthusiastic and
wealthy sportsmen of the West. The
animals have been successfully ac-
climated In England and France, and
we are assured that there is no reason
why they should not thrive here. The
practical extinction of the buffalo has
left the plains without any big game of
Importance, and experienced sportsmen
declare that hunting the kangaroo, as
practiced in Australia, is second in ex-
citement and interest only to killing the
buffalo. The scheme is not without
commercial Importance. Kangaroo
leather is very valuable product and
the animals breed rapidly. The pro-
moters hope to be privileged to intro
duce the new game at the beginning of
the warm season in the Yellowstone
park, and so insure them for a few
years Government protection and i'm
munity from senseless sportsmen.

The Woman Whom the Emperor Most
The woman whom the Emperor M
poleon III. hated most on earth has j,tS
died, says the Boston Herald. During
the brilliant days that followed thy4
coup d'etat, Napoleon made countles&
efforts to live on good terms with tlH
old nobility. There was no limit to thE
bribery, cajolery and even threats tt.
which he resorted in order to induct
them to frequent his brand-new court
The Marquise de Castellane. who's
death is just announced, took the lead
in bidding him defiance. She not only
refused to go to court herself, but sh
cut any of her acquaintances whom SIT
knew to meet with favor there, and as.
her salon was the most charming Sf.'
Paris, the chance of being excluded
from it was not to be lightly encoun-'
tered. The Marquise was grand niecel
of Talleyrand, and it was through her
influence that the great diplomat!
signed an act of retraction and becama
reconciled to the church of Rome
For some years she lived in retirement,
but in earlier days she was one of tbs
most brilliant and powerful of tft

FINGERS OF STEEL.
They Are to supplant Those OF the Ne
gro In Picking Cotton.

They Arc to supplant Those OF the Ne.
gro In Picking Cotton.
The essential feature is three hundred
and thirty fingers or spindles projecting
through and from a hollow cylinder.
These fingers, says the New York Sun,
are ten inches long, and have at the end
brush or tip of fine wire, and set in
four grooves radially is horse hair,
clipped SO it projects from the fingers
about one-twelfth of an inch, the tip and
the hairs on the side being the means
of getting the cotton from the bolls.
The fingers or spindles are given q
whirling motion by system of cog
gear inclosed within the cylinder. Now
ing forward, the cylinder revolves, the
fingers come in contact with the cotton,
the whirling motion of the fingers en-
tangles the cotton lint and it is picked,
then carried upwards and backwards
until cleaned from the fingers by
brushes, and thrown into receptacles
holding sixty pounds of seed cotton.
The revolutions are SO timed that the
fingers which project at the spokes of a
wheel strike the plant without a raking
motion, for that would damage the
plant. No injury comes to the leaf and
boil from running the machine over the
plant.
With width Of four feet, length
seven feet and height of five and one
half feet, the machine, complete, weighs
about twelve hundred pounds, and is Of
easy draught for two mules.
In the morning when the cotton was
slightly damp, a gathering from one
row made by the machine weighed a
little more than thirty pounds; the
waste, knocked on the ground by the
machine, was picked up by hand and
weighed five ounces. In the afternoon,
with the cotton perfectly dry, the cot
ton picked weighed over twenty-eight
pounds, and the waste picked up
weighed nearly three and one-half
pounds.
The time made was about five pounds
minute or three hundred pounds an
hour. Allowing time, iberally, for
emptying the receptacles, stopping for
repairs, meals, and so on, the machine
could easily work ten hours day and
would gather three thousand pounds al
total expense of not more than three
dollars per day, making the total cost
of the picking for each bale one dollar
and fifty cents. At present prices the
| cost is fully sixteen dollars.

THE TRAINING or GIRLS.
They Are Deficient In knowledge q
Every Day Affhirs.

One very serious deficiency in the ed-
ucation of the average girl is her ignor-
ance of the ordinary affairs Of life
Nearly every man, whatever his prof.
fession, has general knowledge Of
these things; he knows how the news
building goes up, understands the priE
ciple of the steam engine, can tell why
crops are rotated or explain the com
struction of a suspension bridge. AS a
result, he finds everywhere suGgcs-
tions for thought and his fJ1as
pathios trained in many directions. lAis,
is because, when be was an intelli Font
boy his attention was continually,
called to these things-a course of acs
ton which would never have been,
thought of had he been merely an in-I
telligent girl. There is u feeling that all
this kind of information is super1hlous, IL
not positively out of place, in the train
ing of young girls; so they grow up
with their fields of observation and
reading narrowed to minimum says q
writer in Kate Fields Washington. On
account of these lesser ignorances theE
find themselves surrounded by a world
full of mysteries, of which the least urr
Ineligible are clothes and servants
Is it any wonder that they fall backS
persistently upon the few concrete int.
terests which seem to be within reacn
of their understanding?
There was little furry ofsliscussior
not long ago about ''Why women read
novels" Well, they read them for thA
same reason that men do, because
novels are the best expression of th@
quality of modern life; and theE
read more of them than most men can
because they have more leisure. Fof
exactly the same cause women read
more poetry and more metaphysics thar
their husbands and brothers. The
reason they do not read so many news
papers and serious periodicals is thai
they find them full of stumbling blCclsS
on account of the narrow limits of theif
education in practical affairs. How
many women understand any thing
about a new election law, or an inn
proved system of drainage, or the con-
dition of Irish politics, or the latest aH
plication of electricity? This Ignorance
is not the more excusable, because it
shared by great many men. Itshoul
be part of every education, whether
of girl or boy, to make a not too intel
esting world as amusing and Suggestive
as possible,

Look up Your tax Receipts,

COLUMBIA, S. g., July S.-Accord-
ing to the reports made to the Secretary
of State the agents of the sinking fund
and land agents are doing splendid work
in their respective fields. DIR. A. T..
Williams, the agent for Beaufort, Collie
ton and Hampton, was in The city to-day
to make monthly report. His terri
tory Is very large and the greater part
ofhis time is spent in making the rounds.
Secretary Tindal made the interesting
and surprising statement to-day that DR..
Williams had discovered and is now rec
tifying fully three hundred errors in tax
receipts, tax executions, etc., AMI in re-
claiming lands to the State. In a case
called to attention to-day executions
were levied and collected against a tract
of land in Collcton in which the owners
held receipts hut were not entered on
the treasurer's books. This is shown to
be not the fault of sheriff or treasurer,
but of the carelessness of the deputies
who were charged with the collection of
taxes.
This is only one of a great many of
the came kind. 1t Is evident that the
State must be out the amount of such
unrcturned collections. Secretary Tin
dal says that it is paying the State well
to employ these agents, and that the
way they are working is very satisfac-
tory to the property owners. Williams
left here to-day for Walterboro and will
continue his work the following week in

A Terrible Tale OF tho Sea.

LONDON, July IA dispatch from
Auckland, New Zealand, reports that
the bark Compadre, bound from Calcutta
for Chile, recently caught fire ut sea.
After an Intellectual effort to subdue the
flames the captain steered his course for
Bluff Harbor. seaport of the province
of Otaga, New Zealand. He had sue
ceeded IN bringing his burning vessel TO
the mouth of the harbor when tremen-
dons hurricane overlook her. The eX-
haIsted crew spent their last energies
in attempting to keep down the raging
fire and at the same time force the un-
fortunate bark to face the tremendous
winds and seas which beat upon and
rushed over her. 1t was, however, all
to no avail. After desperate struggle
with tho opposing elements, the Com
padre became waterlogged and was
driven with fearful force upon the rocks
of the lesolate and uninhabited Auck-
land Islands. After incredible suffering.
the crew OF the bark succeeded In swim
ming ashore. Here, in one Of the latter
years of the nineteenth century, the
miserable men were forced to spend 1O3
days and nights, suffering the EXTREMIST
wretchedncss of exposure and starvation
On the one hundred and fourth day OF
their being cast away their distress sig
nails were observed by passing sealing
vessel, and the sorely tried sailors were
taken of In safety, but in q distressing
condition Of weakness and emaciation.
During their enforced stay on the island
one of their number wandered into the
bush and was never heard of again. 1t
is supposed that suffering drove the man
mad,
