KING COTTON AT HOME.
Brilliant Appearance of Field of Cotton
 il June.

ia June.
 A field of cotton in June is like a great, brilliant flower bed. According to the Blue and Gray, its bloom resem- bles the hollyhock, and has the re- markable peculiarity of changing its color from hour to hour. When it first opens it is pale straw color; in few hours it is pure white; later it is faintly pink, and next morning rose color. The flower is succeeded by a triangular pod, containing in three cells the seeds in three locks of white down which burst forth when the pod opens. The length and the fineness of this fiber, or staple" as it is called, determines the grade of the cotton. The "sea island" or long stapled cot ton is grown on the upland. The best cotton in the world is grown on Edisto island, south of Charleston; the staple of this is nearly two inches long.
 Seen under a microscope, the cotton fbers are ribbon shaped, and not straight like flax. but twisted some thing like corkscrew. The best sea island cotton is in beautiful spiral springs that lend themselves readily to spinning. This cotton is used only in the manufacture of the most delicate fabrics; in England, single pound Of it has been wrought into one thousand and twcnty-siX miles of thread.
 1t was at first thought that compress sion would injure the staple of the cotton; that the fiber would be broken off short, or the spiral screw, so neccs- sary to good spinning. be crushed flat. But it was demonstrated by expert ment that, so far from injuring the staple, it seemed to preserve it, and since then the great desire of the cot ton shippers has been to get a machine to compress the cotton as much as pos Sible

But After Being Cured He Couldn't Even
 Bear the Ticking Of Watch.
 A well-known physician recently told the following story to an Indianapolis Sentinel reporter:
 "A prominent Marion county farmer discovered that he was gradually get ting deaf. He couldn't hear the hired man blast stunps with giant powder. He came to my office and made signs that he wanted his ears examined. l examined them, and in an instant, all most, found that his defective hearing was caused by the gathering of waxy substance in the ears. When 1 re- moved that obstruction of the hearing I was surprised at the result. The old gentleman jumped from the chair where he had been seated and put both hands to his ears. He couldn't stand the noise from the street and the least sound startled him. He was one of the most pleased men I ever saw. He went away and it was several weeks before l SEW him again. He called at the office with his wife and she did all the talk ing. She hardly raised her voice above whisper and every now and then she looked at her husband in a timid way. She said that for several days he would not allow the least bit of noise in the house, and that he butchered some pigs before their time because of being affected by their squeal His daughter and her husband had lived with them for two years and they had to leave on account of the crying of their six months-old baby There were two clocks in the house, one in the dining room and one in the bedroom. These he stopped on account of the ticking The clock in the bedroom was an alarm clock. It went off one night. He jumped from bed and nearly broke his neck by falling head first on the floor. The woman said that she had tOsl1eep the house as quiet as a country grave yard for more than two weeks, for 1t was that long before her husband be- camc accustomed to hearing. His daughter, however, has gone back to the farm with her baby, and the clocks have been started again"

Ananimal which makes most agre able pet, but is rarely tanned on ac- count of its fur value, is the North American beaver. A well known In- dian trader, some years ago, tanned some of these hard-working fellows, so that they answered to their names and followed like a dog. In colo weather they were kept in the sitting room, and were constant companions of the women and children. When the Indians were absent for any great length of time tho beavers showed great uneasiness, and on their return discovered equal signs of pleasure by fOndiing them, crawling into their laps, lying on their backs like a squir- rel, and behaving ike children in tine presence Of parents whom they seldom sec.

FIRST STRIKE ON RECORD.
Roman Flute Players, B. c. 300, Successful Iy Resented Exclusion from a Banquet.

Roman Flute Players, B. c. 300, Successful
 ly Resented Exclusion from Banquet.
 Livy, in his famous book, 1.-The An nals," iX., 90, relates in the following suggestive words the story of singular strike which occurred at Rome in the year 300 B. C., and was probably the first strike ever known:
 That year occurred an event lit tie worthy of being related and which I would pass in silence had it not ap- pcared as involving religion. The flute players, dissatisfied because the latest cenSCrs had forbidden them to take part in the banquet in Jupiter's tenn pie, according to the ancient custom, withdrew, every one of them, to Tibur, so that nobody was left at Rome to play during the sacrifices. This incl dent shocked the religious sentiment of the senate, and the senators sent messengers to invite the inhabitants of Tibur to make every effort in order that the players should be restored to tho Romans The Tiburtines, having promised not to neglect anything necessary for that purpose, caused the flute players to come to the place where the senate met and exhorted them to go back to Rome. Seeing that they could not prevail upon them to do so they employed a stratagem in keep ing with their character. On day of festival, under the pretext that music would increase the joy of the feast, every citizen invited the flute players individually to his house, and wine, of which people of that profession are usually fond, was given to them in such quantities that they fell into a deep sleep. They were thrown into wagons and transported to Rome. They only became aware of what had happened on the day after, when dawn surprised them lying on the carts, which had been left in the forum. A large crowd had assembled and they were induced to promise that they would remain at Rome. The right of attending the banquets was restored to these flute players"

A DECEPTIVE TARGET.
It Costs Something to Learn to Hit tn
 Dangling Ball.


 A shooting gallery peculiarity that has recently came into popularity con- sists in very light and fragile ball of blown glass, or in some cases a hollow egg shell suspended from a string.
 This always attracts the ineXperi- enccd marksmen, because the natural destructiveness inherent in human na- ture causes him to prefer to shoot at something which he can smash rather than at target that gets no harm from his accuracy.
 Therefore, says the New York Sun, he wastes his three shots, at one and two-thirds cents shot, not on targets, but on the suspended mark. And he never hits it.
 i The experienced man in rife range gunnery wastes no time on the de- ceitful ball. He knows that it can't be hit. Probably he knows it from eX- perience, fer it is one of those facts that no man will believe until he has tried it for himself.
 The reason for it is that a very light hollow glass ball, or a blown egg if properly hung on slender thread will dodge any bullet that ever came from gun barrel. The air that the bullet piles up in front of it blows the light mark out of the projectile's path until it has passed, after which the target swings back to its original po- sition.
 This is very provoking for the marks man, who, if he be good shot, has the doubtful satisfaction of seeing his target execute three quick dodges at the aforementioned price of one and two-thirds cents per dodge
 There is nothing, however, so re- , numerative to the proprietor as these pendent marks, for the gunners, pro- voked at their lack of success, will keep on and on and on trying to hit mark compared to which pin head would be a barn door shot, and they only give it up in disgust when the cost be- gins to tell upon them or when some wiser friend explains their lack of sue cess.
 Two dollars is a cheap price to pay for the knowledge that one of these hanging targets is better mark for a baseball than for bullet.

HOW TO KILL cROcoDILES.
Shoot Them or Catch Them on 8 Line and
 Take an AK.


 There are two ways of killing croco- diles, writes an ex-residenG of India. One is by shooting with rifle, but the most satisfactory way of dealing with them, besides being far the most sport ing, is to bait good large hook with a bird or small animal and fasten it by a chain to good long rope, the end of which is firmly picketed, the rope be- ing coiled and the bait lain in shallow water. There must be lots of slack line, as the crocodile does not swallow anything at once, but se1zes it and takes it into deep water to gorge. A number of lines may be laid and looked up in the morning or cool of the even ing.
 When hooked it will take a good many men to haul a crocodile out, and as he resents the operation and can use his tail as we'll as his jaws, one or two sportsmen will find considerable enter tainment in dispatching him with spears.
 Some crocodiles grow to enormous size, and their maws always contain round white stones and often trinkets, the relics of inside passengers. The writer assisted at the death of a not extraordinarily large 'snubnose" which had six women's rings in her.
