CALDWELL TIMES.

Crops are very much in need of rain yet. Tue potato crop is being damaged considerably by bugs and worms Farmers have made almost an entire failure in getting stand of cotton and they are much distressed for want of seed to plant again. There are nc seed here and it seems that they are very scarce every where except at Me Daniel. The wagons passing this point en route to Mcdaniel for seed re- minds one of the old story of the Ga naanites going to Egypt for bread.
 Gardens are almost a total failure as the insects have devoured almost all the plants or injured them so that az ricu'turists are forced to plant over as we'll as farmers.

We have only heard of two parties that were injured and their injuries are not thought to be serious. The parties were both colored, one named Strych. land and the other Gilbert Bowers.

that might have been heard at Hope field, but received no answer.
 Once more their journey began. They reached the railroad about 5 o'clock where they took rest. When the 5:30 passenger train came rushing by the old hunter looked up astonished and asked, !" When did this road start to running early trains from Memphis to Little Rockp"
 Are you lost yet '" exclaimed his surprised companion, "why that's the early train to Memphis, it's not going to Little Rock" !" But the old man could not be convinced until old Sol came peeping up from the east, even then he was incredulous, thinking per haps that the God of day, like himself had wandered around all night, and did not know where to begin His day $ journey.
 They arrived safely at the home of their friend for breakfast, after which they had about four hours left to wait for their train. The young man pro- posed to spend the time hunting, but tue old man had had enough, said he hadn't lost any turkeys, thought he had better get little rest, as he was behind with his books at the store and Mir. Baugh was going to the ranch that day.

From Hand to Mouth.

They give me maXIms old and new
To bid me mend my ways
And save enough to see me through
All of my mortal days
And since 1 now have prudent grown
My duty 'tis-no less
To chide in no uncertain tone
Dame Natures rccklessness.
Thlnk, madam, OF the sunshine rich
YOU squandered when twas June:
Think Of the blossom treasures which
Lay whitening meath each noon.
The miser bee qCafTs in his lair
The sweets which once you spread.
And you, what have you for your share
With bloom AID sunshine fed?
A little winter with its woe:
A little want and pain,
And summers smile again will glow
Beyond the April rain
Your deep breath signs a sad alas"
Yet when Ills June once more.
You'll feast each wanderer who may mas,
A spendthrift as Of yore.

The Making of Street Floats.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
THE making of decorative street floats
is a difficult trade" said a New Orleans
scenic artist, who has had plenty of ex-
periance in the line he mentioned. There
are so many things to be considered. For
instance, a float must look well both near
and far; it must be able 10 stand a dash of
rain: il must be light enough to go over
any kind of street. and solid enough to re-
siSt gust of wind, and. most important of
all. 1t must be 50 constructed that it will
appear ali right to folks in upper windows.
Some years ago a young designer from the
north made several small models for ia
bleau cars that charmed everybody who
looked at them. They We're certainly very
beautiful ana novel, but when 1 was called
in as an expert | said at once that they
wouldn't DO They were designed to be
viewed from the banquette only, and from a
second-story window every particle of effect
would have been lost. Moreover a lot of
hidden mechanism was certain to be discov-
cred at any elevation above fifteen feet
The young artist frankly admitted was
right and abandoned the Job. He said it
involved entirely too many optical prob
lens to suit him When I make my draw
ings for a float | calculate on a visual
sweep Of thirty degrees. That goes from
the level of children on the pavement to
people looking almost straight down from
the upper floors of tall buildings. Unless
such Il precaution is taken the car Is GER
tain to be a failure.

Thanksgiving in Foreign Legations

Ina EtpitOli Emery In the Household
Our American feast is observed in the
foreign legations by customs peculiar to
the mother country, and the dishes known
in the fathers house" are most in evil
dence. even though the American fowl has
its place. Lord Pauncefote presides at the
feast in the household of the British en-
bassy. and gathers about him a coterie Of
friends. Here the custom of the country
represented and the one adopted bear a re-
semblance, and the day Is observed with
out a marked change i'll their mode Of liv-
ing.
But in the legations Of the Japanese, the
Corean and the South American the con-
! fCrmity to American observances, induced
, by the markets Astounding in American
foods. means decided change on the menu
cards and yet, with but few exceptions
the diplomats and attaches make an effort
to observe the customs in our country.
The Chinese form an exception for in
several instances the presiding genius of
the Chinese kitchen has refused to become
enthused into any flights OF astronomical
idealisms by Thanksgiving or any other
Christian feast. Yet the spread made on
that day IS of true celestial magnifcence
And when the meal Is over, with its varied
dishes, the Chinese minister and his close
attaches. no doubt, adjourn to the smoking
room with their pipes and hOp-doi. and the
feeling that IAN the world IS China and
| China is like heaven"
