The following was written

Monroe City and whose maiden
name was Sue V. Shearman and
published by request:
Duty and Privileges of Children in the
Home.
Con tiuued from last week.
AS I see the situation our
only hope is in simple, indie
pendent life. We mus map
out a course and pusue it,
cost what it may. If we are not
willing to do this we deserve
nothing better than we have.
Let US see if there are not a few
things that we could leave un-
done and be all the better for it
in every way. We spend too
much time cooking. Without
one doubt one can prepare d
wholesome meal with but little
effort. 1 will give you the menu
of a woman that 1 met in st
Louis two years ago She said
for many years she was an inva-
lid, but had cured herself COM
pletely by what she called com
mon sense methods. Her diet
for eighteen mouths had been
as follows: Breakfast, sweet
milk and Granose Flakes, OF
any preparation of wheat rolled
and baked; luncheon, Granose
Flakes or other baked grain,
sweet milk, two Newtous or
Fig bars, four to six English
walnuts and as many dates, sup
per, baked grain and milk, and
if teaching at night, more nuts
and dates. She said, "sinc'
discarding meat, fish aud sweets
I have not known a days i'll
ness, and am learning to use m!

that is what we ought to do
learn to use our brain. If W
will it will help US to settle tn
next questionable dress ques
tioa. To my mind that is tn
knottiest proposition we hav
on hand. 1t would not be yer
difficult to get the consent c

dress was of more consequence
to the girl than the diploma.
A friend said to me, Tell
them we 60 too much" But l
do not agree with her We are
social beings and as such devel-
op more rapidly in a state OF
society that admits of our often
minglipg together, without dis
play, for exchange Of thought
and the quickening of the men
tai faculties and moral SENSIBLE
tiles. If there were less formal
ism and more common sense IN
our social life we would be a
the better for the cultivation OF
the social instinct. 1t might be
well to check the young people
a little but if they would go as
innocent, llght-hearted boys
and girls in simple attire for
healthful, invigorating sport,
there would be serious objec
tIon to their mingling together

go as beaux and sweethearts, 1t

New Cotton Picking Machine.

There was organized here yesterday a
concern, that may mean much for the
south in the cotton Industry. The COM
pany is known as the Pneumatic Cotton
Picking Machine enterprise and the capi.
tai is placed at $20O,0OO. The machine il
recent invention and works on the
principle of vacuum, which extracts
the cotton from the boil and transfers it
to another vacuum, through which the
dirt and leaves are dropped.
A. G. Kinyon, of Greensboro, N. c., Is
president; j. r. Malcolm is vice presi-
dent; Murry Stewart, of Savannah, Sec
retary and treasurer, and r. T. Wilson,
of New York, and e. r. Howe, of this
oity, are members of the board of direc-
tors. ..
The company plans to put the machine
on the market at once. It is calculated
that the weight of the machine for one
or two horses will be about 1000 pounds
and will do the work of at least 40 hands
in one day.-Columbia State, May 18th.

The Spiders Eyes,

The Attis spider particularly, in ad.
dition to numerous little eyes, has a
pair Of large eyes. which the erudite
compare to gig lamps. When one spi.
der was captured the gig eyes were a
dark brown, but suddenly they chang
ed to bright grass green. N.
In a few minutes the creature, with
the same deliberation, turned its eyes
from grass green to dark brown. 1t re-
peated the change several times in sue
cession. Apparently they were under
control Of the will. To all appearances
1t seemed to take pride in showing off
the strange power. At any rate it evi-
IDENTIFY enjoyed the proceedings.
1t was as If veil-now Of green,
now Of dark brown-diffused itself
from above downward behind the cor
nea. The color Of either or Of both
eyes could be thus changed. Other
spiders OF line same sort act In like
manner.-Chicago Tribune.

Railroads WIN Spend u Billion.

Chicago, May 1.-The Record Herald
says:
American railways will spend close to
q billion dollars during the present wear
in an extraordinary effort to secure suffi.
oient equipment, power and track, includ.
ing new road, to make it possible to handle
the great amount of traffic being offered
to them. ~
II the car and locomotive builders and
the steel rail makers do thoir part the
year will be record one in the three
industries mentioned.
1t is estimated that if the manufac.
turers are equal to the test between 34O,.
600 and 350, 900 freight cars will be added
TO the total equipment of the railways of
the United States, fully 5000 passenger
cars aud more than 5000 locomotives
will be added to the steam power, which
Is now available.
It is estimated that the railroads will
pay fully $92,000,000 for steel rails dur
ing the present year. If this proves true
the steel mills will have to turn out
about 100000 tons of that product.
The output last year was about 8, ,25O, 900
tons. 1t is said the Western roads will
use fully 100000 tons of rail and that
nearly 1000, 900 tons of this will be rolled
in the Eastern mills.

Iona Nails a Menace,

A German medical paper has been
denouncing in no uncertain terms the
popular custom Of wearing long nails.
even the rosy, well kept nails Of a
beautiful woman's hand cannot be con-
sidered beautiful" writes this jour-
nal, "and involuntarily reminds one Of
an animals claws. But many people
even do not understand how to keep
the long grown nail clean, and the
sight Of such hand is downright dis
gusting. With the greatest cleanliness,
however. the long, pointed nail may in
flict an injury to the skin, and, as
there is frequently an accumulate OF
disease germs under the apparent
cleanliness. 1t very often adds infection
to the injury. Such injuries can be
inflicted upon ones own person and
also upon that of others, and mothers
are liable to imperil their children,
with whom they often come in close
contact. The nail, therefore, should be
worn short, ending directly above the
tip of the finger. which it is, after all.
Intended only to protect.

Alcohol From tho Cactus.

uarsc areas Of arabic land in west
SIG TEXAS are overrun by growths OF
cactus. 1t is esteemed an unmitigated
nuisance, though in seasons of drought
II actus leaves have been used to
feeW Wcattle, the obnoxious spines hav-
Ing been first destroyed by burning.
Since the passage Of the act Of con-
gress providing for the MANI facture OF
untaxed denatured alcohol owners OF
cactus lands are hoping to make the
natural cactus crop valuable by distil-
lation The alleged fact that the cac-
tus furnishes perhaps the cheapest and
most abundant raw material for alco-
hol making seems to be so well estab-
lished that rowing portable stills are
to be set up in the cactus lands for
the double purpose Of turning the de-
spised plant into fuel and provender.

Severe Fire at Bethune.

Camden, May 16.-Seven business
houses, including the dispensary,
were destroyed by fire early Tues
day morning, at Bethune. There
was fifteen hundred dollars insur-
ance on the dispensary, which nearly
covers the loss, but there was but
little insurance on the other prop
erty. The origin of the fire is not
known, but it is supposed to be the
work of an incendiary. The dis
pensary will probably reopen in a
few days.

Coalito to Replace Coal.

Coalite is initiating coal and is re-
puted to excel the genuine article,
writes ]. A. Howland in the Chicago
Tribune. BY newly discovered proc
ess the experts can produce from coal
Of the cheapest quality this substance
of coalite. This coalite produces 20 per
cent more heat than coal. So little car
bon Is emitted that 1t can be burned in
q white stove without discoloring It. So
little oxygen is required to support its
combustion that the long draft is un.
necessary, and the tall chimney is
made thing Of the past. 1t is further
declared that the gas produced is
stronger, purer and less costly than
that to which we have been .accus-
toned. Finally 1t Ia said that the by
&roducts Of the manufacture Of coalite
Can be sold for more than the original
price of the coal. 80 that coalite costs
less than nothing to produce. If only
coalite were edible as we'll the goal Of
human happiness surely would be
looming up in sight.

How Flying Fish Glide.

The theory that the flying fish glides
through the air like an aeroplane. pro-
PEELED by the tai and guided by the
pectoral fins, Is disproved by Lieuten-
ant Colonel c. D. Durnford, an English
naturalist. He finds that an average
flight begins with a jump into the air,
impelled by the tail and aided by the
winglike fms; that 1t is continued by a
lnbored and exceedingly rapid move
ment of the seemingly motionless
wings. which at times slow down so
that the vibration becomes visible, and
that 1t ceases with sudden stoppage
or gradual slowing down Of the wings
before reaching the water.

METALLIC PISTON PACKING,

athe segments on the blocks two op-
gposite segments are formed with longer
sdovetailed tongues than the intermedi-
5ate segments. The segments (DN. 1t
may be observed, are formed with
curved outer faces adapted to engage
the inner surface Of the cylinder. In
practice the springs (C), pressing
against the blocks (B), hold the seq
ments D) In firm contact with the
cylinder, and consequently all wear
between the contracting surfaces is
compensated for, and leakage Of steam
from one side Of the piston to the other
is completely prevented.
1t will be seen that by providing
-dovetailed connection between the
blocks and the segments they are held
together, but allow sliding movement
OF the segments on the blocks without
danger. Of their becoming disconnected.
iWhiie this packing is applicable on
any engine, 1t has been designed par
ticularly for use on locomotives. The
inventor OF this improved piston pack
