ploying 900 people making shoes,
and are in position to get both
sides Of the question. One year AGO
hides, which are of course the basis
of leather, were &C. per h.; they

ing her by surprise. After short practice,
aided at first by a go-cart. the patient be-
came able TO stand erect and to move
from place to place with but slight sup
port, walking, in fact. with a certain de-
gree of facility and comfort. She rapidly
acquired such control over and such read
mess OF practice with her hands as to feed
herself and carry vessels with liquids to
her lips and brow; to crochet with great
facility and precision; to pick up articles
even so small as a pin, and, finally, to
write with the most perfect legibility.
From the time the appliances were put
on down to her death-that is, during a
period OF Is years-she maintained her
SELF by crochet work, having a large sale
Tor her work, not only on account of the
excellence with which IL was done. but
also because it was accounted n great
curiosity. Her majesty, the queen, gra-
ciously interested herself in the case. and
presented Mrs. Robertson several times
with donations, besides frequently pur-
chasing articles which she had worked.
On her death in 1854 the artificial limbs
were purchased back again from her
friends by Heather Bigg, who presented
them to the Royal College of Surgeons, in
whose museum in Llncoln's Iun Fields
they may now be seen.

COTTON PICKED BY MACHINE

Remarkable Mechanical Device for Pick
Ing and stripping Cotton.
One of the most remarkable mechanical
| devices recently introduced in Georgia, is
contemplating machine. The dimen-
sions OF the machine are approximately
nine feet in length, five feet in width, and
six feet in height. 1t is mounted on four
metal carrying wheels, and in general
appearance is not unlike a road engine.
except that il is hauled by horses, and re-
celves the power to propcl the
working mechanism from the traction
wheels. The rear wheels are four
feet in diameter. The tires are eight
inches wide, and cleated to the rim to
provide traction, ample to operate the
mechanism for picking the cotton from
the plants, aud the stripping devices and
elevators in motion. The object of the
elevators is to deposit the cotton in large
sacks located at the top near the rear end
of the machine. The total weight of the
machine is about 900 pounds. and of ex-
tremely light draught, and it can be
drawn by one pair of horses. The cotton
picking apparatus can be readily and
almost instantanty raised or lowered to
suit the condition of the cotton and the
surface of the ground on which it
is operated. The picking and stripping
mechanisms are entirely encased within
light metallic cases, except the elongated
slots through which the picking need les
protrude. The needles are mounted on
suitable bearings in vertical carriers, "a
in number, IL on each side, being linked
together, working simultaneously. The
gears are encased within the carriers.
Each carrier in making the circuit of Its
oblong course, makes nearly one turn on
its own axis, and each needle while
in the plant makes 10 revolu-
tions, and five revolutions in the
opposite direction while being
stripped. The needles are inserted longi-
tudinally into the plant to an extended
position, then rotated rapidly and moved
backward at a speed corresponding to the
forward rate of travel of the machine,
thereby avoiding any movement of the
needles in relation to the plant except a
rotary motion. The needles are with
drawn longitudmally from tho plant. and
pass between yielding stationary strip
pers, whereby the cotton is deposited in
the elevators. Tho capacity of the ma
chine is from six to eight acres per day.
and from two to four bales per day. ac-
cording to the yield. 1t takes 10 ordinary
hands a whole day to pick one bale, aver
aging about 100 pounds each, or 500
pounds of lint after IL is ginned.

No gentleman will ever place his arms
upon the table, either before, during or
after a meal.
Meats arc to be cut with a single glid-
ing movement of the knife, not by con-
verting it into a saw.
Keep the elbows always close to tho
side, no matter how ample the room be-
tween the guests.
Never hurry the dinner. Let everything
come along promptly on time, and move
steadily thereafter.
Iced oysters or clans are to be eaten
with lemon juice dropped over-never

BE punctual. To keep a dinner party
waiting under any circumstances is the
greatest social indecorum.

PRECIOUS METALS.
The Gold and Silver output of the United
States.

The Gold and Silver output of the United
States.
WASHINGTON Feb. 9.-The gold product
for the United States for the calendar
year 1894, will be about $4,000, 900
in value, and the silver product about
S69,500,0o0 in coming value, and about
S35, 100000 in bullion. These figures are
based on the reports which have reached
the mint bureau of the treasury depart
ment, which are still subject to revision.
but which are likely TO prove substantially
accurate.
The gold product will show an increase
of 81 100000 over that of 1898, and the sill
yer product a loss of S., 900 900 on the COIN
ing value. The number of ounces of sill
yer mined in the United States during
1894 has been about 100000. which is
100000 ounces less than in 1893
The principal loss In silver will be in
Colorado, whose product with the coming
value was So. 407 ,4S3 in 1893. Nevada will
also show n loss, and both states will show
a material gain in their production of gold.
Colorado will show an increased gold pro-
duction of 100000, and her total for 1894
will stand at about l0,500, 600.
The other big gains in gold production
have been in California. which shows an
increase of 100000, and total of sl4.-
100000; and in Montana, which shows an
increase of $4,000 to $50 900, and a total
in 1894 of 100000.
