HE EXCLAIMED "RATSl"
How This Blurring Phrase Originatsd-Ht
Is Only Star Spelled Backwards.

Where do slang phrases originator
asks the Boston Globe. Thousands of
people habitually indulge in the use
of slang without thought or y
care as to the source from which the
vulgar phrase came. and often without
the slightest idea of its original mean
ing. Doubtless many of them are
coined by Ministries and burlesque
actors. but often some simple incident
is responsible for expressions which
sweep over the country and have their
use in the mouths of gamin and the
careless of speech, until superseded
by some word equally as offensive.
A few years ago celebrated polo
team was playing a match game in
one of our Massachusetts cities with O
team from neighboring city. The
visiting team, called the Star, wore
it's name conspicuously embroidered
on the breast of the shirt
As the game progressed 1t became evil
dent to the spectators that the referee,
who was in sympathy with the visiting
team, was unfair in his decisions.
This caused great ill-fceling. especial
ly as the members of the team were
rough and rowdyish in their behavior.
Suddenly. as their conduct became
more exasperating, some one in the
audience shouted: ''Rats!' The cry
was instantly taken up. and throughout
the remainder of the game the audience
continued to apply it to the turbulent
players.
Finally one of them. unable to en-
dure the slurring appellation any long
er. went to the man who had originated
the cry and said:
why do you call us ratsp"
You ought not to take any cxcep-
ton to the name," replied the gentle.
man addressed; ''you behave worse
than rats, and besides you wear the
word on your breasts. Spell the name
of your team backward" Sure enough,
Star spelt backward could make no
other word but rats.
A large number Of people from other
states were in the rink at tho time, in
Guiding several visiting teams. and
thenceforth tho word rats was
taken up rs an expression Of con.
tempt.

A Meoh.nic.l Cotton Picker.

The Waco Day, Texas, describes as fol-
lows the operation of q new cotton picker
the invention of Angus Campbell, lately
tried at that place:
The essential feature is $50 fingers or
spindles projecting from hollow cylinder.
These fingers are ten inches long, and set
in four grooves radially is horse-hair, pro-
jecting from the fingers about one-twelfth
of an inch. The fingers or spindles are
given whirling motion by system Of
cog gear. Moving forward, the cylinder
revolves the fingers come in contact with
the cotton, the whirling motion of the
fingers entangles the cotton lint, and it Ia
picked, then carried upward and backward
until cleaned from the fingers by brushes,
and thrown into receptacles holding sixty
pounds of seed cotton.
The machine weighs about 200 pounds,
and is Of easy draught for two mules.
The rows were 1875 yards long, and were
gone over twice, the result being the cot
ton was clearly picked out of the bolls the
machine being as thorough in this respect
as the fingers of the negro No injury to
foliage, bols or branches of the plant was
noted.
In the morning, when the cotton was
slightly damp, 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.
The time made was about five pounds a
minute, or SEQ pounds an hour. The
machine could easily work ten hours a
day and gather 5000 pounds at total ex-
pense of So per day, making the total cost
of the picking for each bale Sl.50 At
present prices the cost is fully SIG.
The Lone Star Cotton Picking Machine
Comony is now perfecting plans for the
erection of an extensive factory In Waco
for the manufacture of the machine.

NIT the fact.
As he sat there. wondering where he
should go to look for work next day, n
gentleman came stumbling up the dark
stairs.

Yes. sir" said John. "Fvc been
married about two days, If that will

'Ah-you are the right man; and
it's your wife want" said the gentle
man.
Johns heart sunk.
"What do you want her for?" he
asked. thinking only of misfortune.
ITO ask few questions, said the
gentleman.
I'VE have very small quarters" said
John; "but come in"
He pushed open the door of the tiny
room, but before he could speak.
Annie ran forward with outstretched
hands.
'Mr. Cummins!" she cried.
Yes. Mr.. Cummings, Annie. said
the gentleman. I've been looking
tor you for six months. l really be-
gan to believe you dead. when met an
old friend of mine. clergyman. and
happening to speak of my fruitless
mission. he told me that lie had mar
ried young lady of your name on
Saturday night. Farewell is not a
common name. though Annie is, and
as the Rev. Mr.. barrow had learned
your husbands place of residence, !
came here to see If the bride were by
any chance my lost hciress. l find
that she is"
IAN heiress!" cried Annie.
Yes. my dear" said Mr.. Cum
mings. Your stepmother represented
you rs having been sent to boarding
school, and it was only on taking the
property in charge six months ago,
that we discovered how you had been
used. You should have come at once
to your fathers lawyers. The rights
of your stepmother in the property
ended with her life. Aud though she
gave good deal of cash to her second
husband. you are still very rich, and
have only to take possession of your
property in regular form"
1T is like u Dream" said Annie.
IL am glad papa did not forget me;
that was the worst thought had to
bear"
''And / shouldn't wonder if this for.
tune were acceptable just now,' said
Mr.. Cummings. rs he took his leave.
But John stood silent after he had
gone, and his face was very grave. At
last he said:
We'll Annie. are you sorry that
you married me now? had no idea
was fortune-hunter."
John" cried Annie, II should be
lying dead if it were not for you. Or.
il had been saved and sent to prison.
perhaps Mr.. Cummings never would
have found me. 1t all came about be-
cause you were so generous to poor
little me. whom most men would have
suspected of being very wicked girl;
and all my life / shall spend in trying
to repay you. Sorryp Oh. no. John.
Already. though l have been your
wife such little while, care great
deal more for you than could for any
