Danger In OiIing Gin Saws With Ker.

There Is a complaint that ginners are using
kerosene on their saws when ginning new
cotton and we are requested to urge farmers
not TO permit this. as 1t Is liable to cause
spontaneous combustion. A bale OF cotton
ginned on a machine whose saws had been
oiled with kerosene was opened here last
week and the heat on the inside was warm
enough almost to burn the hand.
II danger of fire turks into bale OF cotton

1t does, careless ginner would seem to be IN.

might be we'll enough for our farmers and

A Remarkable Cure,

The proceedings of the Royal Society
of London were not taken so seriously
100 years ago as they are now A
sailor who had broken his leg was adj
vised to send to the Royal Society an
account of the remarkable manner in
which he had healed the fracture He
did so. His story was that, having
fractured his leg by falling from the
top of a mast, he had dressed it with
nothing but tar and oakum, which had
proved so wonderfully efficacious that
in three days he was able to walk just
as we'll as before the accident. This
remarkable story naturally caused
some excitement among the members
of the society. No one had previously
suspected tar and oakum of possessing
such miraculous healing powers. The
society wrote for further particulars
and doubted, indeed whether the leg
had been really fractured The truth
of this part of the story, however. was
proved beyond the shadow of a doubt
Several letters passed between the
Royal Society and the humble sailor
who continued to assert most solemnlv
that his broken leg had been treated
with tar and oakum, and with these
two applications only. The society and
the humble sailor might have CORE
sponded for an indefinite period had not
the honest sailor remarked in a post
script to his last letter:

the leg was a wooden one

The JOYS of Speech.

There is a plethora of talk which seems
to stop all thought, and by its ceaseless
noise drive those who wish to think back
on themselves. All talk and no one lis
tens, still less answers, for all must
swell the general output of the chatter
of the world. Bishops and deans, with
politicians, agitators, betting men, wo-
mems rights advocates, members of
Parliament, lawyers, nay even soldiers,
sailors, the incredible average man and
most egregious superior person, must all
be at it. Still, talking serves a purpose,
if only that of saving us from the dire
tedium of our thoughts. Tobacco, sleep,

1T HURT HER DIGNITY.
The Elevator Mans Trick Offended
the Falling Girl.

''You fellows have got your business
down to quite an exact science the
eighth floor passenger remarked, OBJ
serving that the elevator had been
stopped with it's floor on an exact level
with the floor of the hallway.
Yes" the elevator man assented, "a
person gets so used to that sort of thing
that he doesn't notice it much. A
rather neat piece of work was done in
that next shaft the other day" he con-
tinued. probably nobody except me
would have paid any attention to it,
but it struck me as a very good illus
tration of the skill that can be devel-
oped in this profession
"Yes?"
Eyes. 1t was this way: The TWEEN
ty-second floor door of this here shaft
where the thing occurred had been left
open, and a stenographer girl gets alb
nt-minded and steps in. The car was
then at the twelfth, coming up and
the elevator man sees the stenographer
just as she starts. Here, this'll never
do says he, and with that he reverses
and starts his car down.
THE girl passes me at the seven
teenth and I throws everything open to
keep alongside of her, and watch what
happens. At the rate she was going
l judged she met the roof of the car
under her with an awful bump, but she
didn't. The elevator man KEEP his eye
on her, and gagged the speed of his
car SOS to fall just le-e-etle bit slow
er than she did She'd almost caught
him at the seventh, and they was go
ing like fun If it hadn't been a pref
ty high building his calculations would
have been upset, Of course. AS it was,
though, he had time to jolly her for
floor or two. Kept just out of her
reach, you know, SOS to keep her
guessing. When he sees he's getting
pretty close to bottom he pulls the lever
over just the 1e-e-east bit, and she
lights on the roof of that car just as
easy, sir, as if she was setting down on
an easy chair. He stops with his roof
flush with the second floor, and the
stenographer opens the door and steps
out. She'd never speak to that man
again. she vowed, because he'd jOshed
her that little bit on the way down.
Funny how touchy these women are,
amt it?"-Chicago Tfmes-Herald.

An Anecdote of Speaker Reed.

The speech which goes down into
history as Reeds first effort as a child
was short, but the one which opened his
way to fame as a man was shorter
still, says writer in 1.-THE Illustrated
American" 1t was delivered not long
after he began his career in Congress.
He had not up to that time taken much
part in debate, but one day, while he
was making a somewhat labored argu-
ment, an older member tried to break
him up by putting a question to him
suddenly and demanding an immediate
answer. Reed gave the answer readily
Then he paused, turned toward the
Speakers desk, and drawled out: "And
now, having embalmed that fly in the
liquid amber of my remarks, I will so
on again The House roared The
galleries took it up. The newspaper
correspondents sent it flying all over
the country, and to his own surprise
more than any ones else Reed found
himself man of note from that hour.

letic sports, politics, all stand out inef-
fectual as CONSIDERS when compared
to speech. What triumphs in the world
can be compared to those speech gives?
The writer writes, tolls, waits, pub
fishes, and succeeds at last, but feels
no flush of triumph like to that which
the "Cabotin,' preacher, leader, or mob
orator enjoys when he perceives the eyes
of the whole audience fixed upon him
like a, myriad of electric sparks; their
ears drink in his words, and men and
women. rich, poor, old, young, foolish,
and wise alike, are bound all together
by the spell of speech. SO after all it may
be that, though silence is of silver,
speech is purest gold. Pity that being
golden it should be abused; but still to
what base uses gold is put, and so of
speech.
But be that as it may, let speech be
only silver, silence gold, take but away
our speech, chain us within the terror
of ourselves by silence long enforced,
and the most abject drivel of the sound
business man whose every thought is
abject platitude, whose mind has never
passed from the strict limits of his villa
and his counting house, becomes as
sweet as music to our ears. Let those
who doubt try for a month to keep strict
silence, never to answer, to enchain
their thoughts, their wishes, affections,
regrets, remorses, anger, hatreds, loves
in brief, to leave the gamut of that
inner life which makes a man, with all
the notes untouched. While listening to
a painful preacher, sitting out play,
endeavoring to understand in Parliament
what a dull speaker thinks he means to
say, the thought creeps in, why teach
the dumb to speak? Why drive away
from them that which at first sight
seems the greatest blessing, want of
speech, in which to set their folly forth
and talk themselves down fools. Then
comes experience, experience that
stands as a divinity to reasoning men,
and clamors out, Nay, let them speak
although they know not what they say:
their speeches may strike q chord they
know not of in some mans heart.-Lon-
don Saturday Review.
