Reiustated Him.

A short time ago Gov. McS@ccrey
upon reports made to him, sumnarily
dismissed from the constabalary force
James Alton, Of Greenyillc, upon the
charge Of drunkenness. Yesterday Mr..
Alton arrived in the city. He came
armed with affidavits from number OF
rcSnn#si :.ie citizens and one from the
.u&u who preferred the original charge,
in which the man stated that he may
possibly have been mistaken and that
Mr.. Alton might have been sick and
not intoxicated. The atidavits satisfied
the Governor that the charges were
without foundation, and he Immediately
reinstated Mr.. Alton as amember OF the
cons abulary force-Grecnville Noun

No Colni in tho A-ctics.

Nansen and his men during the three
years which they spent in the Arctic
regions never caught a cold. Yet they
were exposed to cold, fatigue and wet
to degree which we at home can
hardly realize, says writer in the
Spectator. Especially one remembers
how Nansen and his comrale Johan-
sen during their wonderful expedition
on foot over the polar ice went on, day
after day, clad in clothes which were
so saturated with perspiraton that
they froZe by day into one mass Of
solid ice, and even cut into the flesh;
how every night, when they tucked
themselves up in their sleeping bags,
the first hour was spent in thawing;
how they lay shiyering, their frozen
socks spread across their chests, until
their clothes actually became wet and
soft, and eventually comfortable and
warm. Yet they never caught cold
and, mark this, for it is recg import
ant, with the exception Of Nansen's
brief attack Of lumbago, their health
did net suffer in any way from the eI-
posure. Directly they reached ciyiliza-
ton they all caught cold. Nansen's
own statement to the writer was:
There is, Of course, no Coubt that
cold is an infectious disease. We had
none during our journey, and we all
got it very badly, too,) at the very
moment we reached Norway

SOME QUEER FRIENDSHIPS.
Different Animals That Get Along Very
Well With Each Other.

An intimate connection subsisting
between different animals IS known
as commensalism, commesals being
creatures which may be said to sit at
the same table, but which do not prey
upon one another. Of late years nat
uralists have become acquainted with
numerous examples Of this form Of
animal partnership. In one OF the
Chicken Islands, off the coast Of New
Zealand, curious lizard, known as
the tuatura, and certain species Of the
petrels were found inhabiting the
same BURROWS, apparently on the best
Of terms. In rare cases the burroW,
which consists Of a passage two or
three feet long, one foot broad and SIX
inches high, is the work Of the bird.
AS q rule, however, the lizard is the
excavator. Each builds its nest on
opposite sides Of the chamber, the
lizard almost invariably choosing the
left and the petrol the right side. The
lizard feeds partly on worms and bee
ties and partly on the remnants of
fishes brought to their common table
by the petrol, both animals being thus
benefited by the partnership. This IS
probably more than can be said Of the
prairie dog, whose underground home
is frequently shared by the rattle
snake and the burrowing owl. These
were at one time supposed to form
happy family" but considerable
doubt has been cast on the point by
the discovery Of young prairie dogs in
the stomach Of the rattlesnake, which
seems to indicate that commensalism
in this particular case has been one
sided affair, so far as the benefits
were concerned.
1t is among marine animals, how
ever, that the most striking examples
Of commensaNsm have been observed.
A feeble fish called the remora owes
its success in life to the powerful alli-
ances it forms. One Of its fms have
been transformed into sucker placed
right on top Of its head, by means Of
which it attaches itself firmly to any
passing shark, whale, or even ship, no
doubt mistaking the latter for some
huge sea monster. By these it is
transported without any exertion on
its own part over great distances,
meanwhile picking up such food as
may come in its way.
Several small fishes have been found
also to habitually lodge in the mouth
cavity Of Brazilian catfish, sharing
such food as the latter succeeds in
capturing.
Other instances might be given,
such as that Of the little pea crab,
found In mussels and other biyalye
shells, which, in return for the pro-
lection given them by the nalluocan
shell, gives its host share Of the food
it captures.

q FEATURE OF THE FAIR.
Interesting Exhibitit Of a Standard
Ginning Outfit.

A feature of the Fair last week was
the splendid ginning exhibit Of ". H.
Gibbes & Co., Ct this city. Crowds Of
interested visitors watched the opera
ton. A few years ago the basket ele-
vator was used obIy. Thea came the
spike belt, and today this is still used.
But With the advent Of the Murray
this is all changed. The hand and bas-
ket system, the spike belt system are
done away with. Handling cotton in
baskets was superseded by the spike
belt system, and the spike belt system
included cluster of parts and compli-
cations, such as the revolving separator,
or vacuum box, and its driving belts
and pu!leys--the spike belt and its driv-
ing belts, shafts, etc. This whole clus-
ter Of complications and par'S IS rn-
tirely absent in the Murray eev,t,r.
1t is elevator and distributor IN cne.
It has no moving parts. Air suction
alone does the work Of elevating and
distributing the cotton. 1t cannot
choke 1t has no overflow. II has no
spikes 10 come off and get into the girs,
it has n distributor belt to wear out
AID to be replaced at considerable ex-
pens. 1t docs the work perfectly, in a
manucr sur"rior to any spike belt sys-
tea, u-u w:.;.,9t any loss OF time be-
tween bales. VI uile one bale is going
out in the Feeders, a supply from the
next bale is coming in at the top of the
elevator. The separation between the
TWO is perfect, and when the one bale
is all OUT of the feeders, ipsta.lly the
next bale is started by the iull >;rily
Of cotton dropping at once luto All oi
tie feeders.
I,,:. > exhibit are the New Murers.
They were introduced IL 1897, in
Texas. The cotton is thoroughly clean
ed the dirt falls on a small screw con-
veyor and IS conveyed through the line
Of feeders to the end of the line Of
gins. In this way the dirt is kept off
the gins and journal boxes. Easy ac-
cess is had to every party Of the gin,
even the brush can be taken out with
out removing the feeder. All of the
hard locks 50 into the gins, fist being
beaten up.

The TROOPER Suffered

Howard x. Brown Of Syracuse, N.
Y, who was In Porto Rico with Troop
A. First Cavalry, tells some clever
yarns about a fellow trooper who
suffered very badly.
One night while in the mountainous
district it was very cold. This trooper
could not find any of his outer clothes.
So he went from one place to another
asking If anyone knew where they
were.
9Th has a-a-ny one s-s-seen m-my
blanket?'
He was told that no one had

The trooper scratched his head for a
moment.
"W-w-well, I'm g-glad th-th-that I
h-h-have g-g-got q w-w-warm p-p-pair
Of s-s-susp-p-penders on"
Again he lost his carbine. he hunt
ed high and low for it, but could not
find it. He put in his application for
a new one, but could not get it in time
for the inspection that followed
When the troop lined up he was the
only one who had no carbine The
lieutenant saw the lack and glared at
him, making Up his mind to make an
example OF him, thinking that he had
been too late to catch up his gun.
Where the blankety- -blank-blank is
your carbine? How dare you come
this way? What has become Of your
gun?'
'Lieut-t-tenant," said the trooper

was the reply. "W-we are h-here- If

The Emicrant's Fortune.

An estimate has been made of the
average amount Of money which Eu-
ropean emigrants take with them to
America. From this it appears that the
first place is held by the German, who
takes over just ten guineas with him,
while the second place belongs to the
Englishman, with about six shillings
less. The third IS the Frenchman, who
has nine guineas, and he IS followed
by the Belgian with just over 80, while
the Irishman'S capital is e, the Rus
SLAMS G2 los, and the Italians barely
60. Ee is, therefore. the poorest, but
it is believed that when he returns to-
his own land he probably carries away
more money than any of the others.

A Touch Of BIarney.

Nobody can pay a prettier compli-
mens than the Irishman, when he
chooses. His tongue and wit are never
nimbler than when he employs them
in the service Of "blarney."
A young professor from Dublin was
entertained over night by an American
professor at his summer home on the
coast Of Maine.
At breakfast the next morning, the
little daughter Of the house, who sat
next the young Irishman, saw with
amazement that he put no sugar in
his tea.
wouldn't you like even one lump of
sugar in your tea?" she asked, solicit
ously. My papa likes three Jumps"
"Since you have looked into the cup,
my little, maid, the tea is quite sweet
enough" responded the young profes'
sor, Sallantly.

Honestly the Best Policy.

Our dairy exports amounted in 1890
to Sl3, ,091, ,656. Last year they had
fallen to s9,095, $40, a loss of about
81, 900, 600 the result of dishonest prac,
tees, and palming of fraudulent com
pounds. By honest dealing the Cana
dian dairymen have built up their
foreign trade in twenty years :.om
$500, 900 to 81, 900, 900 a striking proof
that in the long run honestly is the best
policy. The dishonest man lot orly
destroys his own business but also that
of the honest dealer who wants to do
business straight.

No More Sleep Walking.

A device to prevent sleep-walkiuG is
to lay upon the floor, by the side Of
the somnambulist's bed, sheet Of iron
zinc, or other metal, wide enough to
ensure that he will step upon it. When
the sleep-walking fits comes upon him,
his foot touches the cold surface Of the
metal, and he ipstinctively draws that
leg into the bed again. After two or
three attempts the somnambulist gives
it up and settles down in bed.

brought the crown and handed it to the
e.rl, seated on horseback, while the dy-
ing and the dead Of the battle we're ly-
ing all around. But It is more thrill
ing spectacle as we look forward
through the centuries and see the last
armed and impe.ial iniquity of the
world slain aud the crown Of universal
victory put upon the conqueror ga the
white horse Of the Apocalypse and all
nations hail the power Of Jesus
name. That the whole earth will be
redeemed IS one Of the things long ago
settled in heaven.
Another thing decided in that high
place is tina, all who are adjoined to the
unparalleled One of Bethlehem and
Nazareth and Golgotha will be the sub
jects Of a supernal felicity without any
taking off The old adage says that
"beggars must not be choosers, and
the human race in its depleted state
had better not be critical Of the mode
by which God would empalace all of US.
l could easily think Of a plan more
complimentary to our fallen humanity
than that which is called the plan Of
salvation. If God had allowed US to
do part Of the work Of recovery and he
do the rest, if We could do three-quar-
tiers Of it and he do the last quarter, if
we could accomplish moss Of it and he
just put on the finishing touches, many
could look with more complacency upon
the projected reinstatement Of the hu-
man family No, no. We must have
our pride subjugated, our stubborn VII.
made flexible and supernatural power
demonstrated in Us at every step. \
pretty plan Of salvation that would be,
of human drafting and manufacturing
1t would be doxology sung to our
selves. God must have all tie glory,
