Not as bad as Fighting.

A veteran Of the war, who was not
particularly remarkable for his brave
ry in the ranks, but who, nevertheless
is in receipt of comfortable pension,
was relating his experience as sol
dier.
"Were you ever taken prisoner %
he was asked.
81 guess 1 was, he replied, en-
phatically. 81 was a prisoner Of wal
for eight months, and slept on the
ground in the open air all the time.
Some days l would get something to
eat. and some days l wouldn't. l
nearly starved to death. -
"It must have been terrible ex-
pericnce,' remarked one Of his lis
teners.
1t was indeed, frightful expert
ence; but tell you, gentlemen, and
here he lowered his voice and spoke
very earnestly, it WASH t near as bad
as fighting.

The Proper Bedtime.

A physician of courtly old school
manners used to give prescriptions
marked respectively for early bedtime
and late bedtime. A discussion arose
the other day between several friends
as to what constituted early and what
late bedtime. Some of the ladies
maintained that 10 o'clock was the
limit between the two; others thought
that early bedtime lasted until II, and
few, who believed in beauty sleep,
pleaded that early bedtime began at s
and ended at $50 o clock.
So many people are engaged all day,
and the dinner hour is necessarily, in
city life, deferred to so late an hour,
that families do not break up from
their luiet evenings until after 10.
Society pushes it's hours later and la
ter, and the votaries of fashion come
nearer having no bedtime at all,
snatching their rest when they can be-
tween one gay rout and another. The
invalid and the aged person and the
child must perforce retire early. For
those steady-going persons, who reg
ulate their lives by rule, and who
habitually rise at an early hour, and
breakfast punctually at z o'clock, 10
is certainly a good bedtime hour.
Brain workers would find their account
in seeking the repose of the couch and
the darkened and silent chamber, with
preferably Opaque curtains to exclude
light of the moon and street lamp alike
at 10 o clock.
A long sleep rests the mind as we'll
as the body, and prepares one for the
work Of the next day, whatever it may
be. Far better than an opiate or a
narcotic is the habit of seeking the
pillow at an early hour, and quietly
lying still with closed eyes and relax
ed limbs, until sleep, gently wooed,
comes with its healing touch and soft
ly wcaves its spells Of balm.
The good doctor probably meant by
early bedtime any tine between S and
$3.50 clock, and regarded the later pc
period as between $50 o'clock and
midnight.
Growing children cannot too careful
ly be enjoincd to get plenty of sleep.
The boy or girl who has lessons to
learn must waken early after good
night rest, and this is insured only
by punctuality in retiring. Fight
clock is good bedtime for all young
people under Is, and should be insist
ed upon by parents.

Saw The Point Himself.

The following story is told by the
Youths Companion Of Philadelphia
millionaire who has been dead some
years A young man came to him
one day and asked pecuniary aid to
start him in business.
"Do you drink % asked the mil
lionaire.
'Once in while
"Stop it! Stop it for year, and
then come to see me- The young
man broke off the habit at once, and
at the end Of the year came to see the
millionaire again.
"Do you smoke 2 asked the sue
cessful man.
Now and then
"Stop it Stop it for year, and
then come and see me again.
The young man went home and
broke away from the habit. 1t took
him some time, but finally he worried
through the year and presented him
self again.
"Do you chew" asked the philan-
thropist.
Eyes, LIDO" was the deperate reply.
"Stop it Stop it for year, and
then come and see me again.
The young man stopped chewing,
but he never went back again. When
asked by his anxious friends why he
never called on the millionaire again,
he replied that he knew exactly what
the man was driving at. "He'd have
told me that now that | have stopped
drinking and smoking and chewing |
must have saved enough to start me-
in business. And | have. y

way superior to negroes as cotton pick
ers. In the first place the cost Of
picking is only about one-third. Then
they are more careful than negroes,
and pick cleaner grade Of cotton.
Even in this rainy fall, when all other
cotton was Of low grade, that picked
by the monkeys was all middling, and
sold for at least one-half cent more
than that picked by the negroes. Then
they will pick in weather in which
you can't get niger in the field. In
fact, ] believe that it is the greatest
discovery that has been made for the
cotton planter since Whitney discov
cred the cotton gin. People laughed.
at me at first when [ tried this thing,
as they always do when a man tries
anything new; but now that it has
proved success all my neighbors are
wild about it. The negroes have made
repeated threats to kill the monkeys;
but as yet they have not done so, and
| apprehend no very great danger in
this direction.
In closing Mr.. Mangum said: "You
may say to the cotton planters of the
south that it is grand success, and
that next June | shall make large
importation Of monkeys from Africa,
and I would like to have other plant
ers join me. My address is Smedes,
Miss, and I would be pleased to
correspond with any one interested in
this matter.

greater benefactor to the cotton planter
than Eli Whitney. have just given
him an order to import me 200 mon
keys next summer, and l feel sure that
we will soon be independent of the
negro so far as cotton picking is con-
cerned. TOM u. LANE.

so that markets where the best grade
of goods are appreciated would be
open to them, not, as In this case.
where they have TO compete with the
cheaper grade of goods.
VARIETY OF CANNED ARTICLES.
Quite variety of articles have been
canned at some of these factories. l
have eaten white head cabbage and
string beans which for color and flavor
[ could not distinguish from that
fresh from the garden; as also sausage
and liver puddings in midsummer as
fresh in taste as in the height OF hog
killing time. Besides the articles
already mentioned, except meats and
cabbage, Mr.. Hay also cans the juice
of the grape, which makes most
pleasant and healthful drink, and
needs only to be known to be sought
after. The only goods that ne hnds
standard in the markets that he sup
plies are peaches, pie and syrup pears
tomatoes, aud okra and tomatoes COM
bined. There is, strange to say, very
little demand for native berries and
fruits, okra alone, string-beans, apples,
or grape juice. His work in these is
confined almost entirely to his toll
business, all of which goes to show
the advantage to be derived from some
concert of action among the ANAL
canneries.
NATIVE BERRIES AND FRUITS.
In the native berries and fruits
alone there is the possibility OF very
extensive business if they were canned
in sufficient quantities to warrant ship
ment to more distant markets where
they would be appreciated.
And now, in conclusion, I am ready
at any time to give any further infor-
nation regarding this business that l
may be able; or would refer anyone to
Mr.. P. r. Hay, Springfield, S. C.,
who will take great pleasure in an
swering any question regarding the
business. ..
