This administration is the most bril-
liant that has ever blessed the American
people. II has witnessed the formation
of more trusts and has killed more mig
gers than all the rest combined.
We ought to be careful about animad-
verting on the killing of black men by our
Southern brethren, so long as our great
and good president is killing more mig
gers in a week than have been killed in
the South in thirty years.

Sleep Mistakes.

To get up at o'clock, or o'clock,
or any other fixed hour every morn
ing, no matter at what time you went
to bad the night before is the most
effectual way of making a bad work.
man of yourself. And as for saying
that eight hours sleep is what suits
everybody is as nonsensical as to say
that one ounce OF tobacco-no more,
no less-is the quantity every one
ought to smoke in day.
No doubt it is difficult for most
people to sleep as long in the morning
as the body requires to repair itself.
Business having fixed hours, the peo-
pie who do it must accommodate
themselves to them. Still, as long as
people use alarms or have themselves
called they will continue to feel more
or less out OF sorts on most days OF
their life.
For most OF us there is only one
way of solving the question-that is
by going to bed nine or ten hours be-
fore the time when our business re-
quires us to get up, and sleeping until
we naturally awake. This would
mean getting up at various hours, in.
stead of the usual fixed hours. But
any one who carried out the plan
would feel so vigorous on arising that
lie conld turn the interval before
breakfast to good account.

Seward at the Queens levee.

Formerly such divinity hedged
kings-and queens-that treason was
not alone in fearing to peep at them.
Americans, in citizens dress, also were
kept at a distance. In the North
american Review, Sir William Russell,
LID, narrates an anecdote in this
connection in which Secretary Seward
had part:
Mr.. Seward, who had been received
with great respect in Russia, came to
England, and naturally desired to go
to court. He was presented at the
levee by the United States Minister as
q Senator of the United States.
He drove off at the appointed time
to the palace, but was stopped in the
corridor by gentleman in uniform,
who said he could not pass because he
vas not properly dressed"
Mr.. Seward was in full evening
dress, black dress coat, waistcoat and
trowsers and white cravat, but it
would not do. The gentlemen ex-
planned that he must have knee
brooches, shoes and stockings-that was
absolutely necessary. An idea struck
Mr.. Seward. There was a nice old
man about his size, the porter of the
hotel he was staying at, who sat in q
box in the hall, and off he drove.
Immense SUGGEST! The porter had
q beautiful new pair of knee breeches
and black silk stockings and low
shoes. A few dollars for the loan
was all that was needed. Mr.. Seward
was speedily equipped, drove back to
the palace, where he was admitted
and finally had the pleasure of max
ing his bow in the hotel porter's
clothes to Her Majesty.
Now all that is changed, and
American citizens attend European
courts in plain evening dress.

KING COTTON At HOME.
Brilliant Appearance Of = Field Of Cottoo
In June.

IN juno
A field of cotton in June is like
great, brilliant flower bed. According
to the Blue and Gray, its bloom resem-
bles the hollyhock, and has the re-
marlsable popularity of changing its
color from hour to hour. When it first
opens it is pale straw color; in few
hours it is pure white; later it is
family pink, and next morning rose
color. The flower is succeeded by .
triangular pod, containing in three
cells the seeds in three locks of white
down which burst forth when the pod
opens. The length and the fineness OF
this fiber, or staple" as it is called,
determines the grade of the cotton.
The ''sea island" or long stapled cot
ton is grown on the upland. The best
cotton in the world is grown on Edisto
island, south of Charleston; the staple
of this is nearly two inches long.
Seen under a microscope, the cotton
fibers are ribbon shaped, and not
straight like flax. but twisted some
thing like a corkscrew. The best sea
island cotton is in beautiful spiral
springs that lend themselves readily to
spinning. This cotton is used only in
the manufacture of the most delicate
fabrics; in England, single pound OF
it has been wrought into one thousand
and twenty-six miles of thread.
1t was Mt first thought that compress
sion would injure the staple of the
cotton; that the fiber would be broker
off short, or the spiral screw, SO neces
sary to good spinning. be crushed fiat
But it was demonstrated by expert
ment that, SO far from injuring the
staple, it seemed TO preserve it. and
since then the great desire of the cot
ton shippers has been to get q machine
to compress the cotton as much as pos
sible.

\ POSTAL c. 0. d. PLAN
SCHEME I'd ADD 4 FEATURE TO
THE MAIL PROJECT

Business .lan of Quincy, H., Ds.isss a
Method Which Congress viii Be Asked to
Make Effective By Leeislation--lt will if
Adopted Be Great Convenience to Suburban
Districts.
Harry II. tnaIic. oi t,Hiucry, H.,
has devised plan for adding 4 col
lcct-on-dcliyery feature TO the postal
service. and Il movement has been
inaugurated to press Congress for
legislation TO that effect. The scheme
has been tested during the last six
months, and found to work we'll.
Postmaster ID. +. Wilcox of that city
represented the matter for discussion
at the convention OF first class post
master, in Washington.
Mr.. Charles is connected with con-
Germs doing a large mail order bust
ness. For long time he has seen
the necessity OF something in addition
to the express c. o. ID. service, more
especially in rural towns where there
is no express Office. He also aims to
secure cheaper service than that
given by express companies.
In his tests Mr.. Charles sends a
package to the address of the patron
and by the same mail forwards no.
tice to the postmaster asking him to
deliver the package to the addressee
on the payment of the amount due,
and then return the amount collected
by postal order, registered letter, or in
stamps, less the fee for the service.
The tests made embrace almost every
State in the Union. The patron gets
his supply by first mail, the receipts
of the postofiice are increased by the
registry or postal order fee, and the
company gets its money promptly.
Mr.. Charles idea is to have his
plan made part of the money order
system of the present service or added
as feature of the proposed parcel
post service. He has laid the scheme
before all of the large mail order
houses ,f the country, and all of them
have heartily Endorsed it.
The plan is designed for rural
postoffices and not for the large cities.
Mr.. Charles laid the plan before Post
master General Smith by mail, and
when Mr.. Smith was in Quincy on
the recent trip of the President and
his cabinet he said this idea had
given the postal authorities OF Wash
ington more to think about than
anything that had been brought be-
fore them for long time.
A similar scheme is in operstion in
the German postal service, and is
found to be a valuable adjunct to
that system.
