Old and Young Clouds.

Does it not seem rather sigular to
speak of the age Of clouds, of old
clouds and young Clouds just as you
would describe plants as being either
young or old? Yet it really appears
that such distinction can be made
and the discovery, as so frequently
happens, was based upon preceding
mistake.
Mr.. John Aitkcn reached the con-
clusiOn some years ago that the
density of a cloud was proportional
to the number Of water particles it
contained, the water particles in turn
depending upon the particles of dust
present.
but more recently Mr.. Aitken has
ascertained that his first conclusion
was wrong, and that in many clouds
the density falls far short of proper
particles. Further investigation has
satisfied him that the size of the Wa.
ter particles-changes with the age o.
the cloud.
The clouds upon which his obscrva.
! tions were made number of years
ago must, he thinks, have been old
clouds, and in them the water parti-
Giles, being comparatively large, ap'
feared to be proportional to the
density. But the later observations
were made upon newly-fOrmed OF
young clouds, in which the particles
were small in size.
Thus the law of growth and de
velopipent, which obtains among liv
ing things, has its expression alsC

What Doctor Says About Women Who

Invite the Mark OF Time.
An eminent physician mas some very
interesting things to say on the sub
ject OF wrinkles. The only approach
to a cure, in his opinion, is fat. "Fat
women are not only better looking

any two women who can lie induced
to tell their age and the fatter one
will look at least six years Younger

DIsGRACEFUL SCENE IN ENG
LAND.

On last Thursday a disgraceful scene
was witnessed in the House Of Com
mons, London, during the debate on
the Home Rule Bill. Mr.. Chamber
Iain's reply to Mr.. Gladstone precipi-
tated a free fight among the members.
Before order could be restored nearly
every person in the building was in
volved, either as a participant or peace
maker. Many eyes were BACKED dur
ing the fstic exercises. A committee
will investigate the 8fair.
It is probable that the row was
caused by the free use of int0xicants
like some similar ones in our American
House of Lords. Hot weather, hot
liquors and exciting debates make a
mixture that runs the average brain
up above normal temperature.

EDUCATORS COLUMN.

JOHN J. INGALLS, is classified now as
"a statesman out of q job" Many
school teachers are in Ike condition.
There are many school boards and
committees looking for a teacher. We
propose to arrange for these extremes
to meet, and the focal point is in this
column.
OUR PROPOSITION, for this season
only, is this: If you are a teacher seek
ing a position, or if you are a commit
teeman or an individual looking for a
teacher, we will allow you to state the
fact through this column in a space of
one half inch once for 25 cents, twice
for so cents, three times for Is cents or
five times for 81. Cash must accom-
pany the order.

B.-"Hello! Mr.. Editor"
R.-"Hello! Major, Fire your ques-
tions at me fast"
B.-"What makes you in a hurry?"
Rim afraid confidence will be
restored before I get through talking
with you"
B.-"Gosh! 1 don't see how confer
dence kin be restored until the tariff is
'repeeled,' modified or reformed.
Mr.. Cleveland has bin tellin' US fer
eight years that this must be done an
reckon he knows more than all ov us
put together. I'm blame glad he does
know so much fer it saves US from lots
ov hard work"
RI think you and Betsy had bet
ter stump the State and discuss the
tariff question. The political papers
are afraid to do it,"
B.-''That's so. 1 offered my mouse
colored mule as a reward for a tariff
editorial written since the election an
1 can't hear ov a single one anywhere,
But the Mckinley bill is still costin'
thirteen million dollars a week."
B.-"It'sa heap worse nor that. I've
lost the howlers themselves. I want
somebody to tell me that they stand on
the Chicago platform, but my mouse
colored mule amt any inducement.
They are all trottin' around after some
thin that amt in the platform"
R.-"Write a letter to John Sher,
man.. He is the great mogul of the
Democratic party since the members
of that party took the gold cure. If
he isn't for tariff reform, then you will
have to keep your mouse COlored mule
until 1896. In that year, at a given
signal, the tariff dogs of war will be
turned loose. So loud will be the din
made by the tariff calamity howlere
that some farmers will dream about
wool hats and trace chains every night
until after the election"
B.-"Yes, an by gosh they'll fnd
that it was nothin' but a dream after
all, fer the Democrats will give them
no Larl1f reform. Say has anybody
got relief this week.
R-"Yes, two or three fellows have
been appointed brandy gaugers in the
Western district. For some time after
the 4th of March Grover Cleveland gave
all the relief. He relieved a few fel
lows with big doses. But for a few
weeks he has been 50 busy fishing that
he can't take time to give relief
Kope Elias has given a few relief with
his hypodermic syringe. II don't last
long, however, for the brandy making

bigger man in the eyes of ex tariff

B.-"Blamed if he amt. I'm goin
ter write an ask him has he ever heard
of the Mckinley bill or any other sort

A NEW FRAUD EXPOSED.

About a year ago we received many
beautifully-written communications
from all parts of the country, always
signed by Mr.. this, Mrs. that or Mrs.
somebody else, all on the same line, all
singing the praises and telling of the
wonderful virtues Of ''black pepsin, :"
which they claimed had enabled them
to convert all their milk into good,
beautiful, sweet, sound, pure and
wholesome butter, just as it came from
the COW. This fraudulent attempt to
beat the newspapers and the public
came to grief. Now here comes another.
We give it in full that our exchanges
may be on the alert. And then we give
an extract from the last report from
the N. @. Experiment Station, which
ought to satisfy our people. The letter
is as follows:

SMITH GINS.

The Smith Sons Gin & Machine
Company, Of Birmingham. Ala, manu-
facturers of cotton ginning machinery,
whose advertisement appears in an
other column of cur paper, are now
prepared to offer a complete outfit of
machinery of their own manufacture
to handle cotton from the wagon to the
bale. Their cotton gins have been in
the market since 1886, and that they
have deserved and met. with pro
nounced success is best attested by the
phenomenal incrC ase of their manufac
turing plant and equipment. In 1886
their plant covered 10, 600 square feet
of floor space, and in 1892 this had in.
creased to over so, 600 square feet. This
increase was necessitaJed by the en-
larged demand for their cotton gins,
and each year since 1886 their plant
has been increased, and there is not
now a better equipped plant for this
business in the country.
The past year they Nave gotten up
an elevator and distributor to handle
the cotton from the wagon into the gin
feeder; and it is perhaps the simplest,
most effective and economical in cost
of any system now offered. This was
thoroughly tested during last season
under their immediate supervision,
and they were perfectly satisfied with
its operation before Offering it to the
public.
They are nov ~perfecting a self
tramping press, which is about ready
to be placed on the market. The high
reputation they have made on their
cotton gins, feeders and c~ondensers is
such as tOguarantee that the character
of any machinery they may offer will
be well up to all they claim, and will
sustain their reputation for excellence
in workmanship and perfection in ope-
ration.
They solicit the patronage of our
readers and respectfully request all in
terested parties to send for full infor-
nation, prices, ETC., of their cotton
ginning machinery.
