Sam wanE's Watermelon.

Sam Wang, a Chinese laundryman
over In Covington, was paying his
Saturday night visit to Sixth street
market. and after getting together a
basket full of Celestial deicacies he
started homeward, but stopped to
make final purchase at vegetable
stand and the proprietor having an
old watermelon on Land presented it
to Wang with his compliments. Sam
accepted, and dragged it all the way
over the bridge. Sam had often
seen watermelons, but had never
tasted one before, and neither had his
family. A council OF all the Chinks
Ill the neighborhood was held that
night, but no one knew what to do
with the watermelon, Finally, after
mature elaboration, a huge wash
boiler was procured and the melon
dumped into it and boiled for two
hours. The entire colonly eat down
and discussed the luscious morsel,
In about two hours shrieks of agony
were heard proceeding from the laun-
dry, and when the neighbors entered
they found Sam and his family and
the other Chinese rolling on the floor
emitting Chinese oaths aud clutch
ing at their stomachs. A doctor was
called and by liberal use of Jamaica
ginger brought them around.
When Sam next visited the market
the vegetable merchant shouted at
him:
@Wel, Sam how did you like that
Watermelon"
"Me ikee diam bad!' Sam replied {.
"What did it taste ike?"

MUST KNOW HIS GUN.

Accuracy.

mo two high-power, small-caliber
rifles carry alike" said one of the best
amateur shots Of this section, reports
the New Orleans Times-Democrat. cit
seems to be impossible to get them ex-
actly uniform, and the consequence is
that it is necessary for a man to get
thoroughly acquainted with his weapon
before he can make anything like de-
cent score. Twas out with few friends
the other day, and we tried three new
small-caliber sporting rifles-the larg-
est about 81. The difference in the
drift or tendency of the bullet to go
either to the right or the left of the tar
get, was something remarkable. Then,
again, they seem to act very arbitrarily
under differentiated charges of pow
der, and until one finds out by actual
experience there is no telling exactly
what they are going to do. do not re-
gard this as a serious objection to the
arm, but merely as proving that it is
necessary, as said before, for every
man to make a close study of his own
particular gun. When you become IA
miliar with its ecccntricities and make
your calculations accordingly they cut
no special figure in results. This fact
renders enough practice absolutely
essential with new troops who carry the
krag-jorgensen. The time has gone by
when a soldier can pick up any old gun
and shoot as we'll with it as the next
fellow. Under the new order OF things
two troopers may pull down on exactly
the same spot and kill couple of Fill
pinos three yards apart. To perform
such feat each fellow must know the
direction of the drift of the 'krag' he
happens to be using. BY the way, there
is good deal just at present for in,
ventors in the line of compromising
sights, which will mechanically adjust
such differences as have mentioned"

MAKING CHEAP "PANTS"
Remarkably Expeditions, way. In
Which They Arc Manufactures
& in Bie FactoRiah

"Pantaloon making has been reduced
to a great science in the big factories,
both here and in the NORTH" said a New
Orleans clothing dealer, according to
the Times-Democrat. 81 refer, of
course, to the cheap garments that in
this section are sold almost entirely to
the negroes. a pair Of pants Of that
grade contains IL pieces, the outlines Of
which are represented by Sits in the
top OF a heavy table. Twenty-four sec
tons of cloth are laid on the table and
a revolving knife, like buzz saw, trav-
els through the Sits. AS it does so
it cuts the fabric into the exact pat
terms. The whole thing is done with
incredible swiftness, and the pile of
cloth is securely deposited when it is
fully cut. The pieces are then sent on
electric carriage to the sewing ma
chimes, which are also run by a motor.
Each operative has only one thing to
do. The first one will put in the leg
seams, the second will sew up the body,
the third will put on the waist band,
and a fourth will attach the straps.
The button holes are worked by ma
chinery, and as rule the buttons them
selves are of the automatic staple va
riety and are secured by single mo-
ton of a sort Of punch. 1t is very in
teresting to watch the garment pass
ing from hand to hand, and it reaches
the inspector all complete with celer-
ity that nearly takes ones breath away.
1t is then ironed by being passed be-
tween series of gas heated rollers, and
is ready to be ticketed and placed in
stock. Under the present system the
outputs of some of the large facories
have been quadrupled during the last
four or five years"
