Cotton Gins.

Some recent Improvements in cotton
gins are claimed to insure much great
er economy and efficiency than have
hitherto been attained, the difficulty be-
ing now overcome of obtaining the full
length of the various staples ON account
of the machinery in use tearing the lint
before the parting of the entire length
of the fiber from the rollers. As now
improved, the machine is so constructed
as to allow all changes for meeting
these various lengths in staples to be
made without even having to stop the
operator from his work, whereas the
gin now in use not only necessitates the
stopping of the machine, but requires a
great amount of time in which to effect
the change. Another improvement in
this machine is an appliance in connec-
ton with the inner blade, consisting of
a spring which allows it to give when
the pressure of cotton passing through
the roller is too severe, thus preventing
the inner and outer blades from coming
in contact with each other. The great
wear of the roller is by this means saved.

When Colonel Tamblyn was commander
at Fort Fletcher, Kansas, he had an Irish
man for orderly who was noted for his re-
markable manner of twisting messages.
One day two men who were employed by
Butterfield's Overland Dispatch company
were killed near the fort by Indians.
On the following day Colonel Tamblyn
said to his orderly, Take my compliments
to the company commanders, and tell them
to notify their companies that those two
men who were killed by the Indians yester-
day will be buried this afternoon at Q
o'clock, and would like to have. as many
as can make it convenient attend the fu-
neral"
The orderly accidentally found the COM
pany commanders together. and touching
his cap delivered his message as follows,
1.-THE colonel sends his compliments and di-
reefs you to notify those two men that were
killed by the Indians that they will be bur-
led at o'clock today. and he would like to
have as many as can make it convenient at
tend their funeral"
Perceiving from the expression of the
commanders faces that something was
wrong, he touched his cap again and said
in somewhat aggrieved tone, "There may
be joke about it, sorrs, but If there is it's
on the colonel, for he told me so."-Youth's
Companion.

"Yes, SIR" and the key was handed

noticed that he kept prodding the floor

gait was almost as brisk and as straight
as though he had no affiiction what

office.
He returned a half hour later with

the contrary could be cited. When De

law would become a dead letter and

Mickey and Con.

A book minded scion of the verdant
Isle was seeking intellectual food at
the public library and could not quite
make up his mind as to the particular
literary repast he wished to make. In
his hesitation he wandered over to the
case where the freshest volumes of the
library's store are displayed for the
stimulation of mental appetites. Here
he saw book whose title satisfied him
that be had found just the thing he
wanted. 1t was Micah Clarke" by
DR.. A. Conan Doyle.
Approaching the attendant, he said:
PLEASE gimme Mickey Clarke, by
Con Doyle, out of that cupboard.
He got the book, but the expression
on his face when he came back with it
10 minutes later proved that he had
mistaken the nationality of his hero

She is now being fitted up in New York,
and when ready will load for her first voy-
age to San Francisco.
One may get some idea of her immense
size from the fact that she carries 200
tons of sand as ballast. Her Dimensions
are: Length, 312 feet; breadth, 49, Is feet;
depth, 25.6 feet; gross tonnage, 3, 0O4. 80;

main deck of steel fore and aft, sheathed
with 3s4 inch hard pine. The lower deck
has steel stringers and tie plates, planked
with 2 inch hard pine.
Forward is high topgallant forecastle,
and aft is turtle deck poop, containing
saloon, captains room, bath and trunk
room on the starboard side, the officers
and spare rooms, medicine room, pantry
and messroom being ON the port side The
cabin is not the usual recess cabin, but is
made after a new design and is prettily
finished In quartered oak and handsomely
furnished
The vessel is steered by a new screw
steering gear, the wheclsman being pro-
tected by hood of steel, open ON the for
ward end. A flying bridge connects the
poop with the topgallant forecastle for
convenience in bad weather. The bow
spirit is all one piece, 81 feet long. The
lower masts are one piece of steel. Tho
lower yards measure 90 feet, and the rig
ging is of wire throughout. She carries
for anchors two bowers, weighing 6, 800
pounds each, a stream, kedge and spare

DIR. MARIE L. DE VESSEY the idea that wo-
men desire to be invested with the privi-
lege of voting, and several of these clubs
have already been organized in Jersey
City, New York, Brooklyn and adjacent
places. AS soon as there are enough of
them q general convention will be held, and
an aggressive contest will begin. The clubs
will be known by the general name of the
Nonsuffrage Association of American Wo-
manhood. DIR. de Wesley thus sets forth in
writing her ideas on the subject:
Let us take the entire situation in concern
ing woman and universal suffrage. Would not
universal suffrage give woman many more re-
sponsibiities than today lurk in her range or
circumstances Would not the real merit of
woman be deprecated by giving her the ballot
with which TO exercise the rights of state2
Would not woman be made more masculine,
wherein her more feminine nature and the
pure, simple love would vanish from her
bosom? Would not she grow more avaricious,
vain and domineering, thereby losing the caste
of refined beauty which truly belongs to
woman?
Look at this question; weigh the subject Sc
riously. By woman taking the cause, under
circumstances, in hand, her responsibilities in
crease; man virtually loses the luster which
his godlike spirit creates within him to make
him the finish in the temple of science. Wonl-
an should not grow so eagerly ambitious as to
annihilate her dignity, the principle which
virtually belongs to her life, in doing her duty,
as to desire to take out of the temple all of the
tnish which most undoubtedly will cause
decline as soon as it is placed in execution by
woman's universal suffrage.
Opposition to woman suffrage is not a
new thing with DR.. de Vessey. Ten or
twelve years ago she began her work
against it, during the great agitation
of that period in it's favor, but did not
make herself especially prominent. Now
she has decided that the time is ripe for
more vigorous fighting and she will not
shrink from the ordeal
DR.. de Vessey is rather picturesque
looking woman. She wears loose garments,
and woman writer naively says that
upon first sight most people would think
her an advocate of Suffrage

Some years ago the government of
Bavaria sent skilled forester to study
the conditions of timber growth in the
United States. While here he made the
remark, as if speaking of matter gen.
orally known and accepted:
I'm 80 years you will have to import
your timber, and as you will probably
prefer American kinds we shall begin to
grow them, in order to be ready to send
them to you at the proper time
What an instance Of scientific fore
thought, and withal what warningl
Perhaps it is not yet too late to grow
on our own lands the timber we shall
need a generation or two hence, but If
we are to do SO it is time to take rigor-
GUS steps to stop reckless forest destruc.
tion and to encourage scientific cultiva-
ton.
While our government sells outright
its forest lands for 90. 90 an acre, France
obtains almost exactly the same sum
yearly from each acre of its forest land
by sales of timber. We spend our cap
ital; France makes an income, and
safeguards its capital.
Palissy, the famous French potter,
who was wise in other things as well
as in porcelain, declared that the neg
lect of forests In his day was mot a
mistake, but calamity and curse for
France" That country has since
learned the lesson. When will ours
follow its Youths Compan-
ion.

OLD TIME GAMES.
- Present Day Sports Were nees
a rowed From the Past.

IrVt foWe0 from the fasts
Ills curious to note how some Of the
games of the early ages have been hand
ed down to the present time. The game,
for instance, known to most of us as
odd and even was also favorite with
the young Egyptian, and many of the
little counters that he used are still
preserved in the British museum. There
is also the game of drafts, which was
played on a checkered board in the earli-
est times. The poor children were con-
tent with craftsmen and boxes made of
rough pieces of clay, but the richer ones
usually had beautifully carved iron
headed craftsmen and boxes.
The young Greeks, too, were we'll
provided with toys and games for their
amusement. The toys were chiefly dolls
made of baked clay, the arms and legs
being jointed with string, and there
fore movable. They had favorite game
called Chytriand, which has been pre-
served through many ages, and is now
played by boys of today under the well
known name of puss in the corner. In
France the game is called quatre coins,
or four corners. Both in the old game
and in the modern version five players
are required, one occupying each of the
corners, while the fifth player stands
in the middle. In ancient Greece ne
wore an earthen pipkin on his head and
was called pot; in France at the pres
emit day he Is the nigaud, or simpleton,
and by us is called puss.
To guess the number of fingers anoth-
er held up was also favorite amuse-
ment, and this, too, is frequently play
ed at the present time. So you see how
carefully the character of the amuse-
ments and the playthings of the very
early ages has been maintained in the
toys and games in use today.-New-
castle Chronicle.
