Uniform Cotton Bale.

For the last year, or even longer,
there has been an effort on foot in Texas
and in other cotton bearing states to Sc
cure a uniform bale of cotton. The adj
vantages in 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 on 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
uniform size.-New Orleans Picayune.

LADIES' COLUMN.
LET THE CHILDREN HELP.

In regard to what the children can
Or ought to do towards assisting their
parents, there would probably be
diversity of opinions. AS they are
the dearest things that we have in this
world, we all want to use them just
but many young mothers ruin their
offspring by over indulgence.
Surely it can not harm children to
be able to wait upon themselves in a
multitude of ways; but it will prove a
positive injury to them if they become
accustomed to having some one do
the many little things for them that
they are capable of doing for them
selves.
The child will show his love of be-
ing waited upon as soon as he is old
enough to hold anything in his hands;
and nothing pleases him more than to
keep some one picking up the play
things that he throws down; in fact,
one could keep busy nearly all the
time by just doing such unnecessary
things for the baby. But would it not
be better for him to do these things
for himself? Would it not be a good
lesson for him to learn that if he
throws them down he must pick them
up, that if he tears them down he must
rebuild them?
1t seems to me that children ought
to take pride in caring for their own
belongings and also in helping their
parents. A gift, a prize, or even a
few words of appreciation, will be far
better than punishment for reminding
them of what they ought to do.
The writer knows a smart boy of
nearly thirteen years who washes
floors, sweeps, makes beds, washes
dishes, cooks and is general chore-
boy for both of his parents. Some
day, his knowledge of homework,
which he is thus acquiring, may be Of
great practical benefit to him; and he
is none the worse off for the extra ex-
ercise which he is now getting, while
his tired mother is being greatly ben
Gifted by his assistance.
Let the boys assist in the house
work and they will not be learning SO
many bad things upon the street.

The Fitchburg EUen6ng Mail is the
latest newspaper to enter the lists
with woman's edition. This attract
i've issue of Is pages was published
Sunday, April 10, by the Woman's
club Of Fitchburg, which consists Of
237 members. The object of the en-
terprise, to share with the club in
the proceeds, is the Old Ladies' Home.
Like other women's editions, one of
the most interesting features is the
illustrated cover or frontispiece. 1t
is very artistic in this instance, con-
sisting of an illustrated original poem
on the industries and activities of
Fitchburg. The art department thro'-
out the number is worthy of high
praise. The various departments are
ably conducted, and very readable
paper is the result, to reflect new
glory on the already highly prosper
Gus Woman's club.

A Lively Literary Career.

Abel Hermant, the author of La
Meute,' a successful new play in Paris,
has had lively literary career First
he wrote a story of college life, which
was publicly burned by the students of
the Ecole Normale. Then he wrote a
story of military life, which was burned
in the presence of the regiment by its
indignant colonel, while in due course
all the officers challenged the novelist.
And already the new play has provoked

THE GREAT ENGLISH DICTIONARY.
Heavy Expenses That Threaten a Suspen-
sion of Work.

sion of Work.
A crisis appears to have arisen in the
fortunes OF that great pathological
work. the New English Dictionary,
edited by Dr. Murray and published by
the Clarendon press Fifteen years of
work have now been devoted to its pub
LEGATION, and the question has arisen,
Will it be necessary to stop the enter
prise? The following outline of the stu
alton is printed in the London Daily
Chronicle of April 30:
THE completion of the New English
Dictionary on the elaborate scale hither-
to followed is by no means q certainty.
For several years the work has been
carried on at high pressure, especially
in the department under DR.. Murray 8
personal control. Yet, despite this fact.
the end of d has not been reached, and
though E has been completed by Mr..
Henry Bradley, T is not yet finished
that is to say, since 1884 only four let
tiers of the alphabet and portions of two
others have been settled with. AT this
rate of progress it is hard to see how we
can expect the last number of the die
tionary under o.. quarter of a century
hence
Meanwhile, the great expense to the
Oxford University press continues, and
it is quite within the bounds of posi-
bility that a 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.
e ~f-1l hos
been mooted is evident from the recent
action of the Clarendon press delegates,
who have offered 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, in some cases as much as one-half
the quantity being regarded as unnec-
essary. The definitions too, they would
have in much less profusion, and when
we notice the immense amount of sub
division in the treatment of the COM
moner words of the language (the word
'and' alone has ID main and subOrdi-
nate senses) there does appear posi-
bility of pulling in. The greatest part
of the space in the 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
gether.
GA 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 in Herewith.
That this will be found extremely diff
cult will be felt by any one who has
had experience of dictionary making or
any other form of compilation in which
close attention to detail is necessary. In
the case of the New English Dictionary
the difficulty is heightened almost to
impossibility by very reason of the Is
years work already performed in one
method -

WatermeIons.

Seventy two million pounds of water
melon is what the railroad and fruit
men estimate will be raised in Florida
this year This is equivalent to 3,O00,
900 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 a picture to cause the
astonished smile on the face of the av-
erage negro to broaden into laugh of
great lgladness. To carry these melons
to market train Of 5000 cars would
be necessary, and this train would be
nearly l9 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
kodak fiend will find a happy snap
shot on the shady side of many a grape
vine fence III the shape of two empty
melon r1nds, sleeping negro, with a
rim OF flies dancing a war dance around
his yawn1ng mouth. Railroad men say
that this years crop will be three times
larger Id 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.

A NEW TRICK TO LEARN.
Fur1ing Toosails Done Away With on a
Ship With Progressive owners.

Furling Tcosails Done Away With on
Ship With Progressive Owners.
All the inroads made by steam on
the business Of pushing vessels along,
of which the wind had q monopoly not
so many years ago, have not stopped the
spirit Of Invention from finding out
new ways OF doing things in connection
with sailing ships. To the eye OF the
ordinary "landlubber'' the rigging OF a
ship is fearfully and wonderfully tan
gled mess of ropes and lines, but to the
sailor, whose business it is to know all
about the ropes and things, the maze
and the various parts which compose IL
are the embodiment of symmetry and
the perfection Of order AS the ship was
rugged and the sails handled in the days
of long ago, SO are the processes carried
out today, and if it is hard to teach an
old dog new tricks, it is still harder to
get the regulation s'barnacle back, =
who was brought up on salt horse and
lime juice, with an occasional taste OF
ropes end by the way of dessert, to
adopt any of the 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 sufficient ex-
tent to insure realization of the for
tune which is ever hid at the foot of the
inventor S rainbow
This fact is exemplified by the fuss
which has been made over the arrival
at San Francisco Of q 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
bunt1ines gathered the sail as close to
the yard as possible, is done away with
by this new method. In place Of having
''bunt gasket'' gathering as much Of
the sail as it could hold at the mast,
the remainder being strung out on the
yard and held in place by winding the
whole sail into big "bunt gasket, !"
the yard is left bare, save for the Tout
hauls'' or the lines left to reset the sail
when it is needed.
The sail on this progressive ship is
furled by hauling to the center Of the
yard from each yardarn, the top and
bottom of the sail travelling together.
This is accomplished by railways on the
upper and lower topsail yards These
consist of Z irons bolted to the yards,
are fitted on the fore side, and serve liz
the place of jackstays. On these rail-
ways are placed roller hanks, to which
the top and bottom of the 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 are con-
sidered the raising or lowering of the
yard few inches would be advisable.

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE.

lt is often said by the opponents to
Woman's suffrage, that we have al
ready too large number of voters,
ana That government by limited suf-
frage would show much better re-
suits. wonder whether such people
realize what they are saying, whether
they know that they are announcing
that, in their opinion, government
OF, for, and by the people is impossi
bic, and that our ideal has been plac
ed too high for our attainment.
Universal suffrage, to me, means
who is mentally able to do SO, and
who has not forfeited the right by an
i'll use of it, to say who shall rule them
and what action shall be taken by
ment. sWho has not forfeited the
right,o I say, for this right can be
forfeited as can that to liberty, or to
almost any other SO called natural
right" In old English common law
high treason is partly defined as Civ
ing aid and comfort to the kings enc
mics. With us, where the people
have taken the place of the king, there
can be no such aid and comfort given
to their enemies as through any at
tempt to debauch the suffrage.
The democratic principle demands
the life disfranchisement of any one
convicted of giving Or receiving a
bribe to influence the result of an
election. The right of man or wo-
man to self government is SO vital,
SO sacred, that tampering with it can
not be visited with too heavy penal
ties. The saying that eternal vigi
lance is the price of liberty is as true
to-day as it ever was, but we are not
willing to pay that price, and there
fore the disgraceful condition of af-
fairs in our cities is what it is to-day
But the fault is not primarily with
the ignorant masses, it lies with the
Intelligent voters, the men who should
be leaders, but who have wilfully dis
crowned themselves, and then cry
out for limited suffrage, or, in 9TH
er words, for the benefits of demo
cratic government without it's neces-
sary duties.
Ithas never, to my knowledge, been
suggested that a peoples government
could be carried on without work or
without great deal of sacrifice. The
principle of universal suffrage, like
every other high ideal, will not run
alone. 1t carries duties with it, du
ties which are imperative, and to
shirk which IS filching benefits with
out rendering an equivalent. When
one hears men deliberately avowing
that their private interests will suffer
if they perform their public duties, or
women pleading against the bestowal
of the suffrage lest they lose certain
privileges which place them on par
with children in their teens, one real
ICES how far the ideal still is from us,
and one looks for the handwriting on
the wall. "Mene, meme, tekel, uph-
arsin." 'Thou art weighed in the
balance, and art found wanting"
Those words were addressed to a
monarch, who had betrayed his trust.
Let us take heed to the warning, ere
it is too late. - ELIZABETH BURRILL
CURTIS, IN Union Signal.

People who have weak stomachs or
who are unable to take much exer-
else should not eat pastry, which is
considered very difficult of digestion.
Raw apples sour and hard, when
well chewed, may be digested in lit
tie less than three hours; when mel
low, the time is reduced to two.
Highly concentrated foods, like eggs
and meats, should be eaten with veg
etables and fruits, which supply ma
terials not contained in the more SOL
id diet.
Boiled potatoes are much harder to
digest than roasted or baked, the for
mer requiring three hours and half.
A great variety Of food should not
be eaten at one meal, since different
kinds add to the completely of the
process Of digestion and increase it's
difficulty.
Only adult animals, as a rule, are fit
for food. A notable exception is the
sucking pig, whose flesh is much more
digestible than that of the grown
porker.
