A Blind Mans Dog.
baltimore American j

A blind man pilotod about the centre Of
the city by dog attracted q good deal Of
attention. The man was neatly dressed
and carried satchel containing articles
to sell swung over his shoulder. He
carried q stick in order 20 enable
him to feel his way up or down q step.
The dog, a plump, welI-fed brown ami
mai. had on sort of harness, TO which a
stout cord was attached from his back.
He was, apparently, in hurry to do busi-
ness, for he tugged at the cord vigorously
as he went along. Every few steps he
would look around at his master in the
most intelligent way. as IL TO. discover
whether he was coming along safely.
AS soon as he got to door he stopped
and looked up at his master. IL the door
was one on which was posted the sign,
"the other door," the man would try the
knob. anc, as soon as tho dog saw that his
master could not go in. he would inme-
diately move on to the next door. When 0
door was opened the dog appeared to un-
derstand exactly how to transact business.
He would pilot his master straight TO the
Office, in the back or front part OF the
house, stop. and look up. When any body
bought anything and GOOD day" was
said, the animal would lead the way out
agaln, often looking around at ms com.
panion. and when the street was reacned
ha would be sure TO start exactly whero
he left OF and try the next door. * the
animal was not fond OF that man the
looks and actions OF dog go Tor notninR.

NEW MARKETS FOR COTTON
The South Looking Toward China and
Japan.
Mobile fAla.l Register !

MODDc kAthl ksklstct.l
The completion OF the Nicaragua Canal
would open new markets for our southern
cotton. 1t is impossible to estimate the
extent of the demand which would come
from China and Japan. The cotton-spin-
ming industry in Japan had period OF eT; S;
traordinary activity during the first halt
of the current year. The mills in that
period produced II. 900 pounds of yarn,
against A, 4,O00, 900 during the whole OF 1891,
and AZ, ,000.O0 during the whole OF 1890.
The thirty-fye spinning mills worked on
an average 1925 days during the SIX
months, the average days labor being
twenty-five hours. The number of hands
employed was 21 ,430, OF whom 1000 were
women. The average wages for men were
under IL cents and for women under g
cents per day.
In spite of the large production. the de-
mand was greater than the supply, ana at
the end of the half year the stocks OF yarn
were very small, while the mills were en-
gagged in doing work ordered from three 70
six months beforehand. The total pro-
duction of the year is expected 10 reach
hundred million pounds.
From statement of the dividends paid
by the principal mills as compared with
those paid for the previous half year. 1t
seems that of the ten largest mills only
two paid dividends under 10 per cent. Tor
the SIX months, while others paid $500,
10, 1S, Is. II, and 10 per cent. In the pre-
yious half year the highest dividend was
13, while IN only two mills was 1t over 10,
The explanation OF this sudden prosperity
is said to be succession OF good rice
grain, and great improvement In silk cul-
tura. and the prices In foreign countries
for Japanese silk.

Apples I'm Western New York.
rRuGaln Expraea 4

Now that the cold winds OF winter are
beginning to blow over us. the apple
buyers are quietly storing away Quantities
of fruit to put on the market later on.
This years crop has been fairly good one
for an of year. and the price OF apples
during the winter will be within the reach
of every one, il is said. Despite the unprom-
ising outlook during the summer months.
growers have produced enough TO supply
the home demand. Erie county is behind
in her annual production, perhaps, but
Niagara, Orleans. Genesee, Monroe, and
adjoining counties will make up the deficit.
In the western States apples are said 20 be
scarce, but in the eastern. particularly
Massachusetts, aud New Hampshire. quite
a quantity have been bought up. The ex-
ports this year will be light. Commission
merchants say the year has been especially
good for pears and ounces.

FOUND WATCH IN HER CLOSET.

IChicago Journal ]

hrs. j. w. Hood, living at 1877 Warren
avenue, bad peculiar experience few
days ago. She was searching for mis-
laid article and was rummaglng about on
the closet shelves, when she laid her hand
on a lady's gold watch. IL did not belong
to her, and she was at O loss TO understand
how il came there. The incident worried
her SO that she finally went to the office
where Mr.. Hood is employed to tell him
about it. Mr.. Hood was as much sur
prised as his wife. and advised her TO
make further investigation. Upon her
return home she again went TO the closet
shelf and there found her silver spoons.
which she had packed away in trunk III
another room few days before.
The only satisfactory explanation they
could find was that burglars had been in
the house aud had the gold watch with
them. They probably found the silver
spoons and were looking in the closet for
other valuables when they became fright
ened and hurried away, leaving the watch
and spoons lying on the shelf.
Mrs. Hood has advertised the watch. but
so far has failed TO find an owner.

coTroN-plcKlNa BY MACHINERY.
More Difficult Than 1t Would Be Thus to
Gather Blackbsrries.
fChattanOORa Times. |

To perfect O machine which will pick
cotton from the stalk in the field, says O
Baltimore paper, has been the desire of
many inventors, and numerous appliances
have been constructed on as many differ.
ept principles. but thus far none has
proved sufficiently satisfactory to be put
into practical use..
Unfortunately all the cotton on stalk
does not ripen at one time. There may be
twenty bolls in various stages of ripening
and only two or three fully ripe, and these
NAV be at the top, bottom, or any four
sides of the plant.
machine, therefore, TO pick this cot
ton without iniuring either the plant or
remaining bolls must be able to reach to
any part of the plant. pluck the cotton
from the boil, and carry 1t TO g receiving
chamber or bag IL which 1t is stored.
Those who have never seen cotton-plant
will appreciate the difficulty by knowing
that there would be the same troubles, and
more. TO overcome than there would be to
invent a machine to pick blackoerries,
ripe ones only.
Some of the machines which have been
tried have q series of brushes which are
pressed against the cotton-boll by the ope-
rator, those brushes drawing out the cot
ton and delivering it to 9 belt, which in
turn carries ii 10 receptacle in the ma
chine. Another form has hose through
which a strong current of air is drawn.
This also 10 placed against the cotton.
and draws 1t from the boil up into bag.
Still another form has number of arms
with steel fingers. which catch the cotton
and deliver it into the machine. All have
had the same objection, however. either
injuring the plant or requiring more time
and skill to operate than IL necessary for
hand picking. A good field hand can pick
from $50 10 200 pounds of seed cotton per
day where the stand is good-that is, where
q large number of bolls are open--and even
an ordinary hand can get from 100 TO 125
pounds.
While IL is impossible TO foretell TO what
perfection mechanical skill can bring q
machine, il does not seem likely that the
many conditions necessary TO successful
mechanical cotton picking can soon be
realized. though the inventor who could
do it would become as famous as Whitney,
tho originator OF the cotion-gin.
