There was a queer happening at
Hepzibath the other day, when a
large snake was found in the wash
stand of a young lady's room. The
strange part of the circumstance is,
that the room is on the second floor
of the house and there was appar-
entity no way for the snake to have
gotten uD so high. The snake was
about a yard long and of the garter
variety. The young lady mistook it
for a piece of ribbon. but fortunately
discovered her error before the reptile
had done any injury. The male &C.
cupants of the house soon came to the
rescue and put the snake in such a
way that Il will forever be unable TO
harm anything. This was the first
snake found around the premises of
the place in years.

METEoRITE FALLS AT MILLnN.

Tennille News: Last Saturday night,
at Millen, remarkable piece of crys-
tai substance fell on Judge w. S.
Goddess place, a half mile from Mil
len. The thing has created a great
deal of excitement, and all who have
seen it declare ii pure diamond. 1t
was found b. old man Peter Hatcher
Monday morning when he went to
plow cotton in the field in which 1t
fell. From short distance the aero
lite looks exactly like a large, black
champagne bottle driven neck end into
the ground. The part exposed above
ground is 1875 inches high and 81 1-3
inches diameter. 1t is smooth as plate
glass and perfectly round. On top
it is smooth as mirror and perfectly
transparent. You can look straight
down into it apparently Is or 20 feet.
You seem to be looking down a mir
rored cylinder filled with artesian wa
ter, as clear as that which gusnes
from the new well at Millen depot.
The mass stands straight up in the
ground and the entire surface is a
polished brilliant black crust or coat
ing, and Judge Godbee says that coat
ing is oxide of carbon and the balance
of it is pure carbon or pure diamond.

An indication of the depressed ocean
freight market, says Boston dispatch,
is the fact that the steamer Saxonia
sailed from here with less than half a
cargo, something that has not hap
pened within the memory of the oldest
of the shippers around the docks. The
reason for this is not that there is
nothing offered for export, but that
the rates are so low that the big ves-
sells owners prefer to have her go
out in ballast rather than submit to
the shippers. Several steamers have
threatened to do this, but the Saxonia
is the first to make good.

bush in Japan, to eight or ten ounces

One of the problems which has puz-
zled the American ten planters not
little Is that Of securing helpers Mt
wages low enough to enable competi-
tion with the ridlculously cheap labor
Of the Mongollans. Machinery now
does much of the work of preparing
the tea for market. but the leaves
must be picked by hand, and with all
the economy that can be exercised It
costs Just about eight times as much
to secure the harvesting of q pound of
tea In South Carolina as 1t does In
Asia. Even as II Is the cost would be
greater had not the projectors of this
initial tea plantation happily hit upon
the plan of employing colored school
children as pickers.

plantation, and In the intervals be-
tween learning to read and write the
youngsters are taught how to pick tea.

the crisp leaves which have been car
ried half way round the world, 1t must
not be supposed that the argument re-
garding the ultimate cheapness of
American tea is without foundation.
The Government officials have demon
strated that under ordinary circum-
stances four hundred pounds of tea
can be counted upon as the yield of
each acre in plantation. The tea
can be grown and put on the market
at fifteen cents per pound. Thus If
the shop keepers sell this superior
grade of tea at the same prices that
are now charged for the inferior i'm
ported teas, they will almost double
their money, and presumably some of
them will be satisfied with less profit
than this when competition becomes
fierce.
The United States Government Is
now planning to distribute tea plants
free to all Southern colleges that will
agree to assist the Department Of Agri-
culture in establishing tea gardens on
their land. Special scientific agents
are being sent out to give advice, and
after thorough investigation has
been made of the possibilities of the
Gulf States for tea culture, expert
ments will be conducted in Tennessee
North Carolina, Arkansas, Indian Ter
ritory, Oklahoma Territory, Missouri
and other border States. Climatic
conditions, rainfall and soil must
however ali be favorable to conducC
to successful tea culture, and tho
American tea growers have already
discovered that it is useless to try tC
propagate the plants where the winter
temperature is lower than fifteen de
grees above zero. An average of ar
inch of rainfall every week in the
year is also essential, although 1t Il
hoped to overcome this necessity by
means of irrigation.
One of the most tedious tasks whicl
has confronted the pioneer tea grow
ers has been that of determining wha
species of tea plants give the best re
suits when transplanted to this con
tinent. In order to demonstrate thl
a number of miniature tea gardens
have been provided. and in each som,
particular variety is carefully nurset
under special treatment. Thus tn

VIII Employ Only Men.

Some business men will not employ
women, on the principle that every
woman employed deprives a man Of a
position, and makes 1t harder for him
to take care of some woman, says Sue
cess. julius Scoten, a st. Louis, Mo-,
merchant, will not have a woman In
his store, and will not employ male
clerk for less than SIS a month. He
declares It costs him $4,000 more to
conduct his business with men only,
but he makes more happy firesides
than he could with his store filed
with women. Is he right?
