For the last year, or even longer,
there has been al effort on foot il Texas
and i'll other cotton bearing states to Sc
cure uniform bale of cotton. The adj
vantages N having all the cotton of the
south pressed into uniform sized bales
are many, and railroad people have
long sought to bring some kind Of infiu-
ence to bear which would secure the
desired result. But OH account of a
large percentage Of the press owners be-
ing put to more or less expense in
changing their presses, no great head
way has been made up to the beginning
of last season. But since last season
there has been great deal Of mission
work done in this direction, and the
outlook now is very favorable for the
next seasons bales proving of a more

Wate-melons,

Seventy-two million pounds OF water
melon is what the railroad and fruit
men estimate will be raised i'll Florida
this year. This is equivalent to 3,000,-
600 melons, which, if placed end to
end, would make chain of watermel-
ons $50 miles long, or farther than
from Jacksonville TO the city of Wash
ington. What picture to cause the
astonished smile on the face Of the av-
erage negro to broaden into a laugh of
great gladness. To carry these melons
to market a train of 5000 cars would
be necessary, and this train would be
nearly 10 miles long. But our friend of
the African persuasion need not change
his glad smile into look of lugubrious
meditation. All these melons are not
going to leave Florida. Some are going
to stay right with US, and this summer
a kodak fiend will find a happy snap
shot on the shady side of many grape
vine fence in the shape OF two empty
melon rinds, sleeping negro with a
rim of flies dancing aTar dance around
his yawning mouth. Railroad men say
that this years crop will be three times
larger in Florida than that Of last year,
and the prospects are brighter for bet
ter prices, as there will be only half
melon crop in Georgia to compete with.

THE GARBAGE CLEANER.
How the shopper" Goes His Rounds Pick
ing Up Unconsidered Trifles.

"That man is stopper, - rmarked a
police officer to Star writer few
mornings since, land he and his class
give rs any amount Of trouble. If he
stole, we could reach him by the law,
but as he only finds, we cannot easily
reach him. In further explanation, he
said: ga stopper is man who searches
through the garbage cans in the alleys
in the rear Of hotels, boarding houses
and private houses Some only search
for spoons, knives and forks that are
thrown into the garbage receptacle by
careless servants, for it is a fact that
there are more silver spoons and knives
and forks thrown away with the gar
bage than are stolen by servants, though
the contrary is generally believed The
stopper is generally an hour or so ahead
of the garbage collector, and he is often
moro regular and careful in his rounds
than the garbage man.
BY industry we thrive, as the line
in the copy books used to maintain, and
by industry ON good west end route,
especially one which takes in number
of boarding houses or hotels, a stopper
can find enough table ware to pay the
expenses of his tour. Often ne makes a
rich find. Very frequently he has per-
mission to 'slop' the can from the own
ers Of the houses themselves, for he tells
them he is On the lookout for stray
pieces of meat, etc., which he sells to
those who have dogs to feed. Some
Shoppers are honest enough to return
any silverware they may find for the
dog meat privilege, but it is terrible
temptation to many, and one they can
not or do not at times withstand. -

THE GREAT ENGLISH DICTIONARY.
Heavy Expenses That Threaten suspen.
sion of Work.

sion of Work.
A crisis appears to havo arisen in the
fortunes of that great pathological
work, the New English Dictionary,
edited by DR.. Murray and published by
tho Clarendon press. Fifteen years CT
work have now been devoted to its pub
lication, and the question has arisen,
Will it be necessary to stop tho enter
prise? The following outline Of the STU
alton is printed in the London Daily
Chronicle of April %:
1.-The completion of tho New English
Dictionary on the elaborate scale hithor-
to followed is by 10 means u certainty.
For several years the work has been
carried on at high pressure, especially
in the department. under DIR. Murray $
personal control. Yet, despite this fact,
the end of d has not been reached, and
though Z has been completed by Mr..
Henry Bradley, L is not yet finished
that is to say. since 1854 only four let
ters of the alphabet and portions of two
others have been settled with. AT this
rate of progress it is hard to sec how wo
can expect tho last number of tho die
tionary under Il quarter of century
hence.
Meanwhile, tho great expense to the
Oxford University press continues, and
it is quito within the bounds of posi-
bility that q stoppage may take place.
Much as this would be regretted. it is
doubtful whether such course would
not be preferable to the continuance Of
the work on haSty and incomplete lines.
That some scheme of curtailment has
been mooted is evident from the recent
action of the Clarendon press delegates,
who have offered a few suggestions to
the workers. Their recommendations
point to the need of more concise treat
ment in all the departments-as for
instance, the elimination of much OF
the genealogical matter usually insert
ed, i'll some cases as much as one-haIf
the quantity being regarded rs unncc-
essary. The definitions, toe, they would
have IL much less pr fusion, and when
we notice the immense amount of sub
division in the treatment Of the COM
moner words OF tho language (the wcrd
'aud' alone has ID main end Z suboriii-
nate senseS) there does appear posi-
bility of pulling i'll. The greatest part
of the space in tho dictionary is taken
up by the quotations. These the dele
gates would lessen considerably, sug-
costing that the word modern should
be used in place of many citations Of
later date Recent illegitimate extern
sions of meaning they would omit alto
gethcr.
"A few other suggestions for special
kinds of words have also been made,
and it remains to be seen whether the
editors will be able to fall i'll Herewith
That this will be found extremely diff
cult will be fcit by any one who has
had experience Of dictionary making or
any other form of compilation i'll which
close attention to detail is necessary. In
the case of the New English Dictionary
the difficulty is heightened almost to
imposs;bility by very reason Of the 10
years work already performed i'll one

a NEW TRICK TO LEARN.
Furiing Tapsaiis Done Away With on n
Ship with Progressive Owncrs.

Furling T9psaiis Done Away With on n
Ship With Progressive Owners.
All tho inroads made by steam on
the business CT pushing vessels along,
of which the wind had monopoly not
so many years ago, have not stopped the
shirt of invention from finding out
new ways of doing things i'll connection
with sailing ships. To the eye of the
ordinary "landlubber" the rigging of n
shin is fearfully and wonderfully tan
pled mess of ropes and lines, but to the
sailor, whose business it is to know all
about the ropes and things, tho maze
aud the various parts which compose 1t
arc the embodiment of symmetry and
the perfection of order. AS the ship was
rugged aud the sails handled in tho days
of long ago, so are the processes carried
ont today, and if it is hard to teach an
old dog new tricks, it is still harder to
get the regulation "barnacle back, y
who was brought up on salt horse and
lime Juice, with an occasional taste OF
a ropes end by the way of dessert, to
adopt any of tho new tangled ideas
which are constantly cropping up in
matters maritime For this reason,
while inventors are not slow to offer
improvements, it is sometimes difficult
to get them adopted to q sufficient eX-
tent to insure realization of the for
tune which is ever hid at the foot of the
inventors rainbow.
This fact is exemplified by the fuss
which has been made over the arrival
at San Francisco of vessel with an
entirely new scheme of handling her
topsails. The old plan of furling the
sail by lowering the upper topsail yard,
while the leechlines, clewlines and
buntlines gathered the sail as close to
the yard as possible, is done away with
by this new method. In place of having
a.'bunt gasket' gathering as much Of
the sail as it could hold at the mast,
tho remainder being strung ont on the
ward and held III place by winding the
whole sail into q big blunt gasket, y
the ward is LETT bare, save for the 'out
hauls" or the lines left TO reset the sail
when il is needed.
The sail on this progressive ship is
furled by hauling to the center OF the
yard from each yardaim, the top and
bottom of the sail travelling together.
This is accomplished by railways on the
upper and lower topsail yards. These
consist of I irons bolted to the yards,
are fitted on the fore side, and serve in
the place of jackstays. On these rail
ways are placed roller hanks 10 which
the top and bottom of tie sail are Sc
cured. The sail is taken in by lines
leading through blocks at the mast, and
set by outhauls running through blocks
at the ends of the yards. Reefs in the
sail are taken vertically amidships, the
slack sail being on the forward side,
thus preventing Tapping.
One advantage of the new RIG, it is
said, is that two men can handle the
sail, as there is no yard to hoist and
lower, although it would seem that
when the expansion and contraction OF
canvas under climatic influence arc cen
sidercd the raising or lowering of the
yard few inches would be advisable.

lest Tprnel to Earnest.

Even the best jokes are serious some
times, and an astonishing number Of
things that were jokes once become, as
they grow old, the most common occur
renccs of everyday life. Now, here's a
case in point:
Years ago q professional humorist
met an idea, which he apprehended,
and in due time he wove it into shape
to this effect:
Young wife-oh, Edward, I knew you were
SO fond of Welsh rabbits
Young Husband (apprehensiveiy)-Yes, my
dear?
Young vife-Tel just as soon as you had
gone this morning mado two, and they have
been on tho ice al day, and Jane shall bring
them immediately.
This was called "Jugged Hare" OF
"Rabbit Pie, or "Out Of the Warren, u
or "a Pleasure In Store For Edward, "
or something else equally appropriate,
and when the professional humorist fin
ished the joke be fondly imagined 1.-THE

he think that the joke would ever come
true
But it has come 1t is arrived, as the
French say, attended by these dainty

Little Sense of uumor.

trating the curious absence of the sense
of humor in the late Mr. Parnell At
the original constitution Of the Land
League certain Mr.. A. J. Kettle was in
the chair. 1t fell to Mr.. Parnell's lot to
move vote Of thanks to the chairman,
in the course Of which he said: 81 need
hardly observe, gentlemen, that in Ire
land the name of Kettle is household
word" 1t was plain-indeed he after
ward confessed so much-that he had
not the faintest intention Of making a
pun, and, though everybody else saw
the joke, nobody dared to laugh.
