ALL ABOUT SEA ISLAND COTTON.

The frst thing you do when you
plant Sea- Island cotton is al! the men
take big hoes and dig a place IN the
ground. Tho seeds are big and black.
Then they drop the seed In and cover
1t up, and when II is full grown 1t is
taller than a mans head Then they
pick II. They so out in the field and
carry their dinner with them in the
morning and stay until late In the
evening. They carry big sacks to put
1t In. Then In the evening a big
wagon comes and they put the cotton
IN 1t, and some little dump carts come,
TOO. Sons OF them carry the cotton
When they set to the gin house all the
cotton Ia thrown In. Then 1t Is weighed
and put up-stairs The next morning
the darkeys all come to the gin house
and some OF them get down behind the
gins. They look like o big machine
with big hands going from them down
70 the floor Tho person behind takes
the cotton and puts 1t through the gin
and It goes on through to the other
SIDE to another woman that puts It on
q great big piece OF cloth hold up by
sticks. Some more people are ups.
Eta!rs sorting the cotton; that means
picking the trash out Some OF them
take It and put In on big wire thing
about four inches wide and about
three yards long and baat It on that
and the trash goes through the Wine
and goes on the floor. The sorted
cotton they put down a long thing
IN the floor made OF wood that
looks like z long box and It goes
through that down to tho woman back
OF the sin ] told you about. When the
woman on the other side puts It on
tina big cloth man takes 1t and puts
II IN another room, where another wo.
man Is sitting on q box behind biz
wire thing that Is propped up with
sticks. she puts the cotton On the
wire and boats II on III, and gets the
left IN. and then man comes ana
takes 1t ana puts It In a hole In the
floor where It falls down into q Big
bag fastened on to the hole, and tho
men put IT IN a great big piece Of iron
and press It down on the cotton, and
and It presses It down In the bag, and
a man down In the basement takes
the bag out and takes a media about
three inches long ana saws the end
UP and rolls It out In the yard. When
you xin the cotton that gets the seed

six inches tall $50 pounds Is accepted,
while the rule adding 8 per cent in
weight for each extra inch proves
fairly accurate. The standard weight
increases with age in little men up to
fifty and in the tall up to fifty-five or
sixty. Standards for women are not
yet worked out, though it is known
that at twenty women are six to nine
pounds lighter than men, the differ
ence diminishing with age. Both over
weight and underweight-each being
deviation of 20 per cent from the
standard-affect health and longevity.
weight rises above 20 per cent, and
Mortality increases as the excess
weight rises above 20 per cent, and
no overweight dies from old age or
even lives to eighty. Underweight is
less serious, as among LOIS male
n ierweights forty-four passed eighty
and two reached ninety.
In the young. overweight may coun-
teract predisposition to consumption.
Overweights, however, have far more
than average liability to disease of
brain, heart and stomach, effects of
alcoholism and diabetes, and pneu-
monia, contrary to common belief, is
twice as fatal as among underweights.
Consumption, especially in early life,
is the dreaded disease of under
weights.

The Spiders Strength.

In his book, The Seven Follies of
Science, DR.. Phin describes, among
other strange things, how a spider con-
trlVed to lift from the ground snake
that was, of course, many times heavier
than itself. The story is of interest
chiefly for the scientific explanation
which is given of the way in which the
thing was done:
Some years ago, in a small village
in New York state, a spider entangled
mllk-snake in her threads and ac-
tually raised it some distance from the
ground, in spite of the struggles of the
reptile, which was alive.
BY what process of engineering did
the comparatively small and feeble in
sect succeed in lifting the snake nv
mechanical means? The solution -
easy enough If one only gives the oues
ton a little thought.
1.-THE spider is furnished with one of
the most efficient mechanical imnle-
ments known to engineers, namely.
strong elastic thread. There are few
substances that viii support a greater
strain than the silk of the spider Care
full experiment has shown that for
equal sizes the strength of these fibers
exceeds that of common iron. But NOT
Withstanding its strength, the SPIDERS
thread would be useless as a mechani
cal power if it were not for its eles-
ITCHY
The spider has no blocks or pullevs
and therefore cannot cause the thread
to divide up and run in different direc
tons; but the elasticity of the thread
more than makes up for this, and rem
ders possible the lifting of an animal
much heavier than a snake.
Let us SUPPOSE that child can lift
a six-pound weight one foot high, and
can do it twenty times a minute. Fur
nish him with three hundred and fiftv
rubber bands, each capable Of pulling
six pounds through one foot when
stretched. Let these bands be attached
to wooden platform on which stands
a pair of horses weight 2,1OO pounds
or rather more than a ton.
If, now, the child will go to work
and stretch these rubber bands singly.
hooking each one up as il is stretched. |
in less than twenty minutes we will
have raised the pair of horses one foot. |
The elasticity of the rubber bands |
enables the child to divide the weight
Of the horses into three hundred and I
hfty pieces of six pounds each, and at
the rate of little less than one every

A Perilous Situation.

Speaking recently of. the religious
education of children, President Faunce
of Brown university said:
I'm the medieval age, both educa-
ton and religion were expressed
thrgouh the one institution-the church.
The school and the church were one,
as church and state were one. But
now, in that differentiation of function,
that development of special organs for
special tasks, which so clearly marks
modern life there has come about not
only the momentous change which we
crudely called the separation of church
and state, but another change hardly
yet recognized, but far more mOmen-
toust-he separation of religion from
education. The public schools, which
once taught every child that in Adj
ans fall we sinned ALL now teach
nothing of Biblical history or of Chris
tan truth, and the indispensable task
of Christian education is falling be-
tween church and state to be undertake
en- by neither. The state has handed
religion over to the church, and the
church had handed religion over to the
state. Who, then, is henceforth re-
sponsible for religious education? The
state saith, 1t is not in me-; and the
church saith, 1T is not in me- Hence
we have in America millions of chill
dren growing up without any religious
training whatever-a situation which
would have seemed inconceivable to
ancient Athens or medieval Florence,
situation such as no pagan nation
ever tolerated, situation today in
comprehensive to Berlin, or London,
or even to Cairo or Constantinople, a
situation more perilous than any other
with which the republic is now con-
fronted.''

morning
Where May hath called her lovers
to her feast.
Lo! as it were pledging goblet, glow
ing
In her rose fingers over which do
The golden bubbles poured to over
flowing,
Up, up, she lifts the sun!
Oh, drink with her this airy wine of
spring,
That from her hands winged breezes
bring.
Sweet philter for all hearts on earth
that be!
Hark! how the birds are drunk with
it and sing;
Mark, where the flushed winds spill
it on the sea,
How, tapping it, the waves go carol
ling;
See how dull earth, meek flower
and stately tree,
Rejoice that they may taste it,
Shall we, then, slumb'ring, waste
This draught of ecstasy?
o lovers all, in this sweet wine
pledge you and your loves and
mine
A cup with you!
Up! up! with you,
And drink the May with me!
I. A. DAILY, in Carmina.
