For the most part the people at this

. tilli Swallowed face unmarked by the
lines of exposure and work, but almost
all who knelt there, and 1t was so with
the men, too, were OBVIOUSLY of the
humblest class. The babies were al
most all shabby. but most devout. One
group, consisting of girl not more
than ten years old, with two children
who looked to be about three aud five,
came in and kuelt and put the other
two on their knees and said her prayers
for a quarter OF an hour or so, VI hen the
three year old began to get restless.
Then she took the baby under her arm,
refolding her reboso around her shout
ders and wrapping the baby 10; the five
year old chung to her skirts and the
three slipped out. They went In and
out many times during the service, the
ten year old always adjusting the tiny
sisters to as devout q position as their
chubb!ness permitted.
IN the afternoon the church was
crowded to Overlooking. Women and
babies sat about the doorways and on
tbs fat stones of the graves of the
terrace In front OF the church doors.
In the tower where the bells hang
were crowds of men. The people out
side could not hear a word of the SER
vice but the ay was an idle one, no
business or work being done, and
swarms OF people loitsred a. the
church doors. If one desired to go in
to the church he had to stumble over
the kneeliug and squatting figures,
for these worshippers sit down Or
stand up where they choose. There
are no sisles and noseats. Ga the cross
hung the figure of Christ nailed
through the hands aud feet. In the CEN
ter OF the church stood the great white
and gold coffin where the body was to
be placed when it was taken from the
cro-s, to await the resurrection services
of Easter Sunday.
The services Holy Saturday Include
the blessing OF fire and water by the
priest. Early in the morning OF this
day before Easter he goes to the doors
OF the church, strikes new fire with q
flint, blesses land the candles and the
eternal lamp are relit with the new
flame. He blesses water also and con.
socrates these two important elements

spinning industry. Instead of shipping
it's cotton 10 Liverpool or New Eng

works up its own raw material. Near
ly five hundred cotton mills are now
in operation within the limits Of the
cotton belt, running five million spin
dies, representing an investment Of

5000 bales Of cotton, or about one
seventh OF the entire cotton crop.
The growth OF the manufacturing in
dustry, side by side with the fields of
production, is one Of the most encour-

supplies of nitrogen, even the roots,

quantities of fat and starch. but is de-

Boy Lived on Raw Game.

Andrew Brown. sixteen years old,

the mouth of the Missouri, during a re-
cent four days. He was rescued in Il
pitiable plight by Frederick Rowe and
Anthony Murphy. hunters. from St.

was devouring the raw flesh of Il goose

Brown started out in a skiff to hunt
geese, and landed on the island While
constructing blind his boat loated
away, and he found himself marooncd
i'm the middle Of the Mississippi. He
had killed one duck, but had no
matches. and in his hunger devoured
the raw flesh. Then he slept until
morning making his breakfast of the
remainder of the duck.
The next day passed cold and cheer
less. The following day it was no bet

could hit little game because of his
nervousness. Browns rescuers took
him to his fathers farm. The family
had been searching the country side
for their boy, and were distraugl.t

picking arrives.
The amount OF cotton that one can
pick in day depends largely upon the
experience Of the picker, but partially,
also, upon the condition of the crop. \
light crop makes slow picking, and
conversely, IN abundant crop makes
the task OF gathering an easy one. \
lively worker will gather about two
hundred pounds of cotton I'm day,
although there frequently are eases
where aS much as three or four hun.
drcd pounds have been picked by n
single worker.
The cotton piCkcrs are sharing in no
small measure the prosperity which
ten cent cotton has brought To the
South, For several years past the
average wages paid to the pickcIS
have been from forty TO fifty cents per
hundred. At present, however, prices
in many parts of the South have risen
to sixty and siXty-nve cents.
