Cotton Picking in Georsia.-At {

Cotton Picking in Georsia.-At a
meeting held in the court house in Tiff
ton, Ga, says a dispatch to the Angus
ia Chronicle. the farmers Of Tiff coun-
ty met and accepted the resolutions
made by the committees elected by
them last Monday, by which they will
reduce the price of cotton picking to
the uniform price of so cents per hun
dred pounds for the entire season. This
meeting was called for the purpose of
fixing standard price. as pickers were
so scarce last season that some of the
farmers in this section were forced to
pay as high as s1.25 per hundred and
then scarcely got two-thirds of their
crop gathered.
They have agreed that none Of them
will pay over so cents per hundred un-
der any circumstances. If the farmers
of this county can hold the pickers to
this price II will mean great saving
to them and will also be benefit to
the entire community, as the greater
part of the pickers are negroes and
when they get over so cents per day 1t
is impossible to get them to work more
than two or three days out of the week
as they can make enough in three days
to support them the entire week.

UNCONSCIOUS COUNTING.
Train the Mind to Number Grouped
Objects at a Glance.

Train the Mind to Number Grouped
Objects at a Glance.
1t has always formed a part Of the
professional conjurer's education to ac-
quire the power of making instant
mental note of many objects. A Ger
man advocate of the theory that every
one should cultivate some similar sys-
tenn of counting has suggested that the
ability Of most persons Of distinguish
ing from three to five objects at a
glance may be so perfected that the
mind will find 1t possible to take note
of at least thirty articles in the same
length Of time. This authority, Preyer,
has declared that he can count thirty
objects of the same kind as easily as
other persons can count three or four.
Apart from such usefulness as this
acquired power may impart, the meth
cd of teaching 1t Is Of interest. The
ly made by placing several small OBJ
jects, such as pins or coins, under q
sheet of paper and then lifting the pa
per so that one may glance at the ar
ticles and give an immediate guess as
to their number.
At first the eye finds it possible to
distinguish only three or four objects,
but practice soon enables the expert
menter to manage any under ten with
facility. Above that number the pro-
cess becomes more difficult. Conscious
counting is not permitted. The arti-
cles must be merely valued"
To perfect oneself in this practice

cal figures may be made upon the

In tho Wrong Berth.-The long train
of Pullman sleepers was rushing to-
ward New York with its loads Of hui
man freight. It was still early and
only q few Of the passengers were
astir. A china salesman in one Of the
lowers was awakened by a commotion
at the curtains of the berth above him
A moment later a bare foot was thrust
through the opening and placed upon
the edge of his bed. A woman's voice
spoke in angry accents.
Look there, John! bought those
stockings yesterday at Hunters for 25
cents a pair and they guaranteed them
not to crock. I'm going to send them
back. Just see my foot!"
In some bewilderment the drummer
beheld for an instant a dainty foo'
upon which the discoloration was un-
mistakable.

How People Sleep.

The American or the European In or
der to get a good nights rest ordina-
rily requires q soft pillow under his
head, but the Japanese stretches him
self on a rush mat on the floor, puts q
hard, square block of wood under his
head, and does not sleep well IL he
does not have 1t.
In China they make a great to do
with reference to their beds. These are
very low. scarcely rising from the floor,
but are often carved exquisitely OF
wood. Like the Japanese the Chinese
never makes his bed any softer than is
possible by the use of rush mats.
It Is a curious fact with reference to
the sleeping habits Of the various peo-
pies that while those in northern coun-
tries do not appear to be able to
sleep well unless they have lots of
room in which to stretch their legs, the
inhabitants Of the tropics often curl
themselves up like monkeys at the
lower angle of a suspended hammock
and sleep very soundly that way.
The robust American will cover him
self with pair Of blankets and throw
his window open to the air even in the
dead Of winter; and sometimes he will
not complain II there Is bit Of snow
on the windowsill in the morning. But
the Russian, on the contrary. likes no
sleeping place 80 well as the top Of the
big soapstone stove in his dwelling
Crawling out Of this blistering bed In
the morning he delights in taking a
plunge in a cold stream, even IL he has
to break through the ice to do so.
In Lapland the native crawls, head
and all, into a bag made Of reindeer
skin and sleeps warm and comfortable
within 1t. The East Indian, at the other
end Of the world, also has q sleeping
bag. but 1t is more porous than the
Laplander's. Its purpose Is to keep out
the mosquitoes rather than to keep its
occupants warm.
The American clings to his feather
pillow, but he has long since discarded
the old feather bed in favor of the hail
or straw or felt mattress. The feather
bed had been relegated to the country
and many persons who slept on 1t In
their childhood find 1t uncomfortable
in their later years.-Evening Wiscon.

The Lightning Rod.-The announce
ment Of the death in Missouri recently
Of John Cole. inventor Of the lightning
rod, recalls the spectacularly career OF
that formerly interesting figure in the
world Of commerce and Of science as
science was understood by the laymen
of earlier days.
No doubt there are half-grown boys
and girls in plenty now who have nev-
er seen a lightning rod, yet a quarter
Of century ago no building was con-
sidered safe from bolt Of lightning un-
less 1t was surmounted by the trusted
steel point which was expected to at
tract the fluid and convey 1t harmless
ly into the earth.
Public faith In the efficacy Of the
lightning rod was so great that 1t was
difficult for the owner Of a building to
get fire insurance policy unless he
first provided a lightning rod as a
shield from damage from the elements
as does the average negro depend upon
his little bag provided by the hoodoo
vender
The farmer was the especial easy
mark selected by the smooth lightning
rod peddler, for the reasoh that the far
mer usually owned his home, and be-
sides being less importuned by travel
ing agents, he was more susceptible to
their wiles, but in the towns and cities
no residence was considered quite COM
plete until 1t was embellished by a
lightning rod.
But the passing Of the lightning rod
has been going on for many years, and
now 1t is practically unknown except
when it is seen on some Of the older
buildings where it has been for per-
haps 25 or 80 years, and the people
have come to look upon it with about

properly married without the marriage

siderably from the English services In

chairs Is arranged for the bridal party
Exactly opposite the officiating clergy

bride and bridegroom. These, already
legally husband and wife, drive to

Dutch wedding; and no waiting by
either bride or bridegroom for one an
other for the bridegroom on the we'd
ding morning goes at once to the
brides house and drives in the same
carriage with her to the town hall.
Another popularity Of Dutch we'd
ding is that both bride and bride
groom are given a ring, which the cler-
gyman places on their fingers. The
clergyman generally presents the
young couple with a Bible after the
service is over, and to the strains Of a
wedding march all the party proceed
to the vestry to sign their names in the
register and to receive the congratula-
tions of all those present in church.
After this is over the party drives
home to the brides house, where the
wedding breakfast Is served, at which
only the closest relatives and the dear
est friends of bride and bridegroom are
present. Many "toasts'' are given and
speeches made wishing the newly mar
ried couple good luck, and telegrams
from absent friends are read aloud
When the breakfast Is well on its way
the young couple quietly leave the ta-
