Lent.

The season of Lent is a
season set apart by a certain
portion of the Christian church
for prayer and fasting; but
whether we do or do not belong
to this portion, the idea of Lent
is not without a lesson. Our age
is,a rapid one; we move toward
with great strides toward an I'M
usual material prosperity. Nor
are we unmindful of what
progress we would like to make
in higher way, and our great
movements for good are often on
as magnificent a scale as our
more material advances. We
are strenuous even in our chart
ties and our religion. But being
good on a big scale is not all that
is necessary. We need some
quiet and reflection as well; we
need time for thought on the
conduct of things. Now and
again it is good for a warrior in
the battle to stop for rest and to
count his strength; now and
again it is we'll for d runner to
pause and take account of his
road, 10 refresh himself in a
shady place for new running
So for every body season when
we are less active in endeavor,
but more thoughtful, is a season
to be welcomed and encouraged.

From the Middetown. Gnd) News.
Jackson Wisehart, one of the
best known gentlemen in this
county. died at the home of his
sister, Mrs. II. B. Brattain last
Friday evening a few minutes
after four o'clock. His death
was the result of d lingering
illness of heart disease.
Mr.. Wisehart had a peculiar
interest in the welfare of Middle
town and never let pass an op-
portunity to advance the interests
of the town. He did more than
any other one man to locate the
lrondalae tin-plate works here,
and followed it up by building in
town a number Of residence
houses.
He was a faithful member for
many years of the M. E. church
and endeavored to live a life
consistent with his profession.
For more than forty years he
was an esteemed mem bea Of the
Masonic lodge and when in health
took pleasure in attending the
meetings Of the order.
His death is mourned by a large
circle of friends and many rela-
tives. He is survived by his
wife, Mrs. Anna Wisehart, of
Fitzgerald, Ga; one son, DR.. O.
NJ. Wisehart, and three daugh-
ters, Mrs. w. NJ. Dykes, Mrs.
Ida Judkins, of Shirley, and Mrs.
]. c. Brattain, of Alexandra: four
sisters, Mrs. Jos. Franklin, Mrs.
John Davis, Mrs. H. B. Brattain
and Mrs. d. +. Williams, and
three brothers, Willis, Nelson
and Richmond Wisehart.
The funeral services were
held last Sunday forenoon. The
funeral cortege left the residence
at ten o'clock for the M. +.
church, where impressive SER
vices were conducted by DR..
c. B. Wilcox assisted by Rev. +.
P. Trotter. Appropriate music
was rendered by the M. E. choir.
The attendance at the church
was very large, evidenCing in a
measure the high esteemin which
the deceased was held. Middle
town lodge Of Masons was
present in a body and at the
close of the church services the
remains were taken in charge by
this lodge and conveyed to the
Miller cemetery, where with the
impressive ritual of the order,
they were tenderly laid to rest.
In the death of Jackson Wise
hart a good citizen has gone to
his reward and a large number
of friends mourn his death while
the entire COM unity sympathiz-
es with the relatives thus bereft.

Devices For the Easy Cutting of

The saw has become the accepted i'm
plement for preparing frewood be-
cause Of it's slight waste and it's COM
parative independence Of knots as well
as the greater accuracy Of it's work.
The imEcoved crosscut saws of the
present time are about as perfect as it
is possible to make them, but their
efficiency depends largely upon having
them in good order and upon getting
the work in such position that it can
be done without unnecessary fatigue
Oh inconvenience, says L. B. Pierce in
presenting the following sketches and
informal ton in the Ohio Farmer:
Some time ago had occasion to call
ut farmhouse in neighboring town
where the father and son were saving
the summers supply Of fuel from
green maple logs. The support for the
logs, which were from twelve to TWEEN
ty inches through, consisted of two
logs laid near together with two short
ones across them. The short ones had
uOlCucS cut III lueL1, III WHICH Tue logs
to be sawed were laid This was all
very good, as it took but few min
utes to arrange such a support and at
the last all could be sawed into wood
and piled away. However, no arrange
ment of skids was ut hand to get the
heavy logs up to the place, but they
were lifted and blocked and pried up
by main strength until in position. A
narrow new saw Of excellent pattern
was being used, but the set was entire
ly out Of the saw, and before it had cut
its narrow width it was like pulling
wagon to get it back and forth
In this case the absence Of skids and
the miserable condition Of the saw to-
tally neutrallzed the saving by having
the work at proper elevation. The
upper figure Of the cut shows the ar
rangements Of supports for saving logs
into stove wood and, as may be seen,
can be made from the log pile itself,
with the exception Of the skids, which
are OF similar size and construction to
those used for loading saw logs on to
trucks. Two logs are placed on the
ground near enough together to be out
of the way Of the saWyer's feet and

MAKING OF PATENT LEATHER.

AL manufacturers Of patent leather
have their own tanning processes,
much like those of the calfskin tanner,
though some patent leather is given a
bark tanning. Horsehide and colt
skins are the chief feathers made with
a patent finish.
The patent or enamel finish Is really
painted and baked on, as the bicycle
manufacturer paints and bakes enamel
onto a frame. Tanners are very par
ticular about keeping their processes
secret, and nobody but workmen is
ever allowed into the finishing rooms.
The hide or skin, having been
stretched and dried as much as posi-

ture OF linseed oil, lltharge, white lead
or similar materials boiled, together
until they make a pasty mixture.
This is daubed on the surface with
a steel tool and well rubbed In, SO that
the pores Of the leather will be filed
up. Then the leather is put into the
oven, its surface being exposed to
steam pipes at a temperature Of aboct
100 degrees.
Next the surface is rubbed down
with pumice stone, and then it is COW
cred with Hnseed oil and ivory black,
about six layers applied, each layer
being dried and rubbed down. Finally
a varnish is applied. and then the sur
face is rubbed down and finished off as
nicely as a painter finishes a fine car.

he had performed sufficient service for

first in her class at college for ''think-

maid Of all work went to her cousins

for which Mr.. Wilcox had asked.
What he thought about ii is no part
Of the story as the Chicago News prints
1t.
At four o'clock precisely Mrs. Will
OK put on one Of her trousseau aprons
and began to think. She thought out
the gastronomic trimmings first, but
when she had made some hollandaise
possibly keep hot, although that was
not her intention, she began to consider
the fish.
To her intense annoyance, the butch
er had neglected to clean n and make
it ready for cooking.
Very well, she would do II herself.
So 1t came about that when Mr.. Will
cox got home he found his wife with

and the teakettle in the other.

pect In her history, and il would have
been safe until that time to estimate a
crop OF 4,0OO,OO o bales or more. In fact,
the government crop report, showing a
condition of 81 per cent for Texas, would
indicate a crop Of that size for the State.
The largest cotton crop Texas ever rails
ed was that Of 1S9S-1S99, vhea 1885,
600 bales were marketed.
A percentage of OIL In condition would
show the plant to be nearly perfect as
to growth, vigor and fruitage. That the
government report was correct is accept
Cd by all persons well acquainted with
cotton. But one thing the government
report did net take into consideration
was the ravags being wrought by the
boil weevii. For nearly two weeks the
State Of Texas has been visited by heavy
rains The daily precipitation and the
heat have n to multiply the weeyil
to a surprising extent. At the present
rate of progress the weevil is making the
crop may be cut by from 100000 10
100000 bales. Great damage has been
done already and still greater damage
Is feared.
1t is because the Boil Weevil Com
mission knows OF no other method of
wipipg out the plague than by fire that
the recommendation will be made to burn
ever the cotton fields. As all sorts of oils
and poisons have failed to destroy the
weevil, the commissioners have come to
the conclusion that the only remedy is
fire. 1t Is in October that the weeyil
hibernates. Mr.. Johnson's idea is TO have
the Legislature decree that upon n GER
tain day in October all the farmers in the
State shall cut down their cotton plants,
pile the stalks in heaps and burn them.
In the general ~confagration weevil, eggs,
plant and bolls will be reduced to ashes.
There are nearly 100000 acres of
land in Texas planted to cotton. Ap-
proximately one-half of this territory is
infested with the weevil. As It would
require at least one fire to each acre of
cotton land affected, that would mean
100000 or more fires.
