Short Talk With the Boys. BY M. QUAD. "What's that you threw away ?" "Nothingbut a bit of string." "Who made it, and when and how ??" "I don't know." And probably you don't care, but you should. A piece of string is tossed away in contempt a thousand times per day, . and nobody seems to realize that its manufacture is one of the most curious things that machinery is put to. Let's have a little talk about it. It is a cotton string, you Bee, and we must begin with cotton. As far South as Georgia and Alabama cotton seed is in the ground by the last ; of February, and never later than the first week in March. It is drilled in the same as wheat, and soon after the plant is up a force of negroes called "choppers" are set to. w^rk.. "Chopping cotton", means going) along, the tows, with a hoe and cmting or chopping out the extra* plants. If left as they come up they would be too crowded. Later on the plants most be hoed like corn, and it is ?jEail before.the boll opens and shows the clean, snow-white cotton. There are from two to four or five pickings, according to the strength of -the crop. Right here is where the hardest part of the work comes in. Negroes with sacks slung over their shoulders take the field row by row and, with a twist of the fingers which few white men can imitate, snatch the'eotton from the boll. They must ..work in a I 8^^^fl^re,'andl go where yoii-wiH ifr"the*cotton States^yOu can tell ?nold" Cotton picker by his walk on the streets. Your string .has been, olanted, I "chopped," hoed aud'gatfceYed.^ 'MiHiens j : of dollars have been invested, thousands of people given work, and millions again i are, to.be realized.. JSaw, then,Ahe cotton| I mtUTbe ^innedjid Maike thV Seeds and. dirt out. The cotton-gin. houses of the South represent hundreds of thousands of I dollars.- more.- . Then i t:must be pressed, .1 sacked and hooped, and you have the ordinary bale Of cofton Weighing, say, ?OChphundsI. Ndw* if ^ojc?ltbaisjto: bea used at home, the ordinary bales are I '*"4W*&(r^T0TwagOT to the nearest town. You see the.m como I in by six mule teams, by^fj^^yrtwo, and now and then one drives into town I on^his single'hals dj^wnvby an ox. ;| qfjthe cotton ii to\^.*6roa,d it is sent 1 to~ttie compress. "This is a powerful.ma,-J ? tjhjfle into which ./our men jerk au.ordt 1 ? nary-'-bale, which seems packed hard j enough to resist a cannon shot, and, at ime^sj^iteze;, the bite; becomes almost ai r i .-.fiat as. a p?pcakeK. Theweigh t iaall there, but the bulk has keen reduced two-thirds. J Three bales can: be squeezed into one by the compress" and 1,500 pounds will st?w in the place of 500. : j And now I "have not mentioned the inspecting,- ?giading'i'weighing, buying, ; rehooping and shipping, all of which j i;j^ye employment to ?iousap?s more and; j cause mil Irons of dollars to change bands. I That bit of string begins to . have more J value in your eyes, eh I Well, let's see. I " ; AV^go into the Enterprise Cotton Mill at Augusta, Ga. As you stand at the ;-door a moment let me tell you that the cotton mills, of America represent mil? lions of. .dollars again, and that Genius _has iairl'yExhausted herself, in inventing the machinery?machinery so near human that you almost expect to hear it call out to yon.-- We first, go into. the. picking room. Here'the- cotton* just as it comes from the plantation, is fed into machines called pickers. They remove any refuse and blow the dust out. From the pickers the cotton goes to the finish era, who weave it into what is called a lap?or a great white roll of coarse cotton /b|tttf ogi 'It is then fed through another machine and comes out in rolls again, which are called finishers' laps. It is much whiter and softer than before. It is Wonnd off on to great spools, and when; these spools are full they are wheeled into the carding room. This room is 240 feet long by 'seveht-Z-five wide- and the ? mill car> pick'and card thirteen hales per day. "The staff wound off on our spools is not string, but a soft, tender j ' rope "the si ze of a chair round. Our. spools uow .go the. railways in what ire;"called, "drawings."- The four ropes late there merged into one, and j -ran out ^ihto the cylinders called ] railway cases. Then sixteen of the ropes are merged into four and run over a draw- I frame. Then four go over another frame J 5 and become one. Then* the cans are ranged alongside of a machine called a "sweater," and the ends of the drawings or ropes are run up to spindles and re- I . wound. This time the rope is about half the eize of a clothes, line,* and is called "roping." They go from this to the I "fine frames," and two threads become one. It is then ready to go. to the spin- I ning room on the third floor and be spun on bobbins. The rope has now been re duced to the size of No. 40 thread.' That is finer than our string; but let me go on. The bobbin goes to the spooling depart- j ment and is there run off on .to: spools, j One spool will bold all that can be wound } upon ten bobbins. Tbe spools go to the 1 .Warping frames, there being 380 separate spools and. 380 separate threads, each of which must be attached to the warping beam. The thread must bo carried through a hot air chest and ~8ized- before ready for" the ~web. The threads then have to be picked into a [ ;M^'h|fpessi**Larid, each:girl whp follows! this work handles 1,900 separate threads j twice over in about an hour. When the - threads are finally, in "harness" and drawn they are ready for the loom, and j each girl attends to four looms. When you enter the weaving^ rooju-you-heara1! great clashing and clan king.' and every thing seems in confusion. But come.up to this loom. It is weaving, the cloth which you may yet wear for a shirt: See th^perfecjionofMovement! Everything 'is timed" tolhe fiftieth part of a second. One shuttle down?one up.'? -Here is c'n eccentric?there is a crank?there a shoulder?here a motion so nearly human that you start back in surprise. In look-, ing over five yards of factory cloth you will find at least one rough spot?some? thinglike a knot. That is caused by the breaking of one of the threads. An alarm is rung, and the girl's deft fingers tie the ends in a second. -Down In the basement are the monster engine and boilers?up under tbe roof is the great tank for making^ the starch by steam. 0n every floor we hear the ma? chines humming, see every employee at work. You see every one in his place. ?Fivery. machine is doing its duty.. -In -this seeming hurly-burly is the grandest system of order. They know to a pound how much raw cotton is used in a day? how many yards are woven?who has been absent or present?how much money goes for profit or loss. '^Nothing $ut a bit of string 1 Well. I my lad,, it may be of no .use to you just ','pO.w, hut. doii't throw(.such. thjtigs aside without thought.

If it is not human, it is at least perfection. Scores of men have worried themselves to insanity; scores of others have experimented- to/ have their ideas stolen, and who can say how many have tpeiit days and'nights without grasping the hoped-for problem ? You threw the string away without a thought of this. That was ju3t like a boy, and just like four men out of five; but it is almost criminal.. It is the every day things of our"life?rbur pins, needles, thread, mar? bles, gimlets, screws, knives, tacks and other seeming trifles?which have puz? zled tbe genius of the world mo3t to pro? duce. ? Now it is" understood that Congrefs will not adjourn until late iu July. Plowing by Steam or Electricity. Steam plows hare been in use for sev? eral years in England, Egypt and some parts of the United States. Heretofore the only steam plow that has given sat? isfaction is one arranged to be drawn by an engine stationed at the side of the field by means of a wire rope. There are .many objections to this plan, and hundreds of experiments, have, been made to demonstrate the practicability of plowing with a traction engine. Heretofore these experiments have not produced satisfactory results; but now the wheat growers of Dakota are begin? ning to use a traction engine plow that bids far to supersede horse power for turning prairie sod. An engioe drawing a gang of eight plows has been intro? duced into the Territory, and its average work is the breaking of twenty-five acres per day, turning the sod four inches thick. I Fuel being scarce and costly in D*-, i kota, the cost of breaking the land by steam is said to be one dollar per acre. Of course tbatleayes a good -margin of profit for the ?owner of the plow. The cost of breaking the land by animal power is three dollars per acre, as it re? quires four horses or oxen, oue man and a boy to operate one plow, which will ' break"?nly'a'little~mdre~tban air acre a day.. .?._.._ No'steani .plpw^ has yet been construct? ed, however] to ineet the requirements of small farmers. There has long been a I great demand for such a machine. Some twenty years ago Horace Greely dedi? cated the book which, demonstrated how little he knew about farming to the man who ^?houldyinventer steam-plow. It would appear that its construction would not be a very difficult matter, but no one has ever yet claimed the dedication. X^The rapid, development of the electri? cal science suggests before many years electricity, rather than steam, .will be looked to by farmers for motive power to jdrapi; theif bj?^and Ajagons and; jjrbpel alt Cheir farm machinery!

Over a Cdfflh-Md. "She?was?a?good?wife?to?me. A good wife, God bless her!" The words were spoken in trembling accents over a coffin-lid. The woman asleep there bad borne the heat and burr den of life's long day, and no one had ever Heard her. murmur;, her: hand was quick to rea'cjh- out in a helping grasp to those who fell' by the wayside, and .her feet were swift on errands of mercy; the heart of her husband had- trusted in her; he bad left her to long hours of solitude, while he bad amused himself in scenes in which she had no part. When boon companions deserted him, when fickle affection.selfishly departed, when pleas? ure palled, he went home and found her waiting for him. "Come from your long, long roving. On life's sea so bleak and rough, Come to me, tender and loving And I shall be blest enough." That had been her love-song?always on her lips or in her heart. Children had been born to them. She bad reared them alone?they were gone! Her hand bad led them to the uttermost edge of the morning that has no noon. Then she had.comforted him,and sent him out whole hearted while she stayed at home and?cried.. .What can a woman do but cry.??and trust? Well, she is at rest now. But she could not die until he had promised to "bear up," not to fret, but to remember how happy they had been. They ? Yes, it is even so. For she was blest in giv? ing, and he in receiving. It was an equal partnership after all! "She?was?a?good?wife?to?me." Oh 1 man 1 man 1 Why not have told her so, when her .ears were not dulled by death ? - Why wait to say- these words over a coffin wherein lies a wasted, weary, gray-haired woman, whose eyes have so long held that pathetic story of loss and suffering and patient yearning, which so many women's eye's reveal?to those who read. Why not have made the wilder? ness in her heart blossom like the rose with the prodigality of your love? Now you would give worlds?were they yours to give-^-to see the tears of joy your words would have once caused, bejewel ing the closed windows of her soul. It is too late.

'There is one very mean thing about human nature," said Dr. Talmage in his Friday evening talk, "and that is'the disposition to jump on a man when he is down. Ever and anon the community must have a scapegoats At the present time the scapegoat is Ferdinand Ward. By. denouncing him men of large expe? rience hope to have their own foolhardi ness alleviated. ?? He has no doubt wr?Dged others, but no more than others have, wronged hiin. You wrong any man when you necessarily put on him temp? tations greater than he can bear. Put into a young man's bands $1,000,000 be? longing to other people and be satisfied with taking your three per cent, a month without asking bow he gets it and you have sinned against him more than he can ever sin against you. 'Tut the best phase you can on every man's misfortune. Do not call it rascal? ity when it may have been only a mis? take.

Remem Jberi that if a man' loses, money in stocks he deserves just as much condolence as if he lost it in selling dry goods or gro? ceries. Be careful in your anathemas of Wall street to draw the line between those who do a legitimate businsss and those who make it the whirlpool for suckiug down the fortunes of others.

Blame's TFar Record, . Mexe is Hon. Jas. G. Blaine's war record as given by E. F. Pillsbury, of Maine, a close neighbor of Blaine, in a speech in Boston before the Bay State Club: "He was the first to be drafted in his district. But prior to that an or? ganization had been effected in Augusta to protect men against (he draft, each member paying $25 to the fund to hire a substitute if drafted. Mr. Blaine out of that fund hired a substitute named Brad? ford. A soft place was found for the man to remain at the post in Augusta instead of going to the front. After a while he was detected in selling for money certain certificates, and he was. kept in jail until the close of the war. That constituted Mr. Blaine's service in the field. [Loud laughter.] After the war closed, the men who had been drawn claimed that the towns and cities should pay the ex? penses they bad been put to, and Augus? ta generously voted to pay these men the money they had paid for substitutes, and Mr. Blaine got his bond for $200. But Hb? is not the end.- Afterwards a resolu tion-'was put before the Common Council of Augusta to pay Mr. Blaine $200, the amount he had paid for a substitute, and it was voted and passed and he was paid. That you can rely on as being a true story." ..~r Thirty, "persons were. killed and seventeen wounded by the explosion of a powder mill at Pontreonolli, Italy, on Sunday. ?

A minister requested us to say for the benefit of candidates that some i of the country churches contemplate passing resolutions not to vote for any candidate who, attending church, keeps a part of the congregation out of the hoiiso afirr worship has commenced.? Union Toms. ? It is a significant fact that thv reli? gious press of the country is almost a unit in its opposition to Blaine. Us ually the religious newspapers steer clear of politics, and a man must be indeed a hardened case, and much worse than even the ordinary run of Kepnblican politicians, when they feel called npon to do battle against him, and to urge all church members, regardless of party affiliations, to vote for any decent raa.n wh<v is brought out against him. ? To aH wearers of false teeth the news of the recent fashion set by a Chicago society lady will be extremely welcome. This lady bas*ati entire set of false upper teeth, and she'neither conceals the fact nor pretends tnat'tHey are preferable to real teeth. She is?lso'near-sighted, and wears suspended to-a* hoolron the North? west summit of her dress a' pair of neat, eye-glasses which she puts on whenever she wishes to look at anything: Some time ago it occuired to her Bhat it would be the part of common sense to ubs' her teeth only when she desired to talk or eat. Accordingly, she now carries them sus? pended by a cord around her Deck. When she meets a friend &he first puts | on her eye-glasses and looks at him and I then puts in her teeth and indulges in j conversation. Similarly, when she goes to dinner, she puts in her teeth as soon j as the soup has disappeared and the fish ] is brought on. Being a leader of Chicago ! fashion, her example has been followed by other ladies, and at a Chicago opera j quite a large proportion of the ladies of i the audience wear their teeth gracefully suspended from the neck.

His I'ostolQceis Yales vilie, Upsou County, (Ja. The following is Mr. John Pearson's Statement: In the Spring of 1882 I was attacked with a very bad cough, which continued to grow worse until fall, when I got so weak that I could not get about. I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to grow worse. I was notified that I had consumption and would probably die. Dr. llolloway finally told me to try Brewer's Lung He storer. fhey sent to Ward's Store and got a bottle and I commenced taking it right away. After tak? ing two or three dose<, I began to improve, and by the time I had used up one bottle I was able to get on my feet again. 1 am now in excellent health. I am confident that the Luug Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opinion. It is the best Lung Kemcdy ever made in mv opin? ion. Dr. II. promised me that be would write to the manfacturers and tell them of the wonJ.'rful I cure it made in my case. Statement of Mr. Benj. H. Hearndon: Early in November, 1881, while sewiig on the machine, my wife was taken with a severe pain in her side, which wts soon followed by hemorrhages from her lu"gs and a severe cough. Fever com? menced, she could neither cat or sleep, and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. The attuudiug physician told me that he thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most delicate nourishment on her atom* ach. I then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family ?hysician, to call Dr. llolloway in consultation, 'hey made a final examination of the patient and pronounced the case hopeless. Dr. llolloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last icsort. I sent for a bottle and gave her a dose. i fouod that she could retain it on her stomach, and after about the third dose, I began to notice some improvement in her condition. I continued the medicine regularly, and by the time she had taken two bottles, she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than she has enjoyed for several years. I believe the Lung Restorer sav;d her life. We have a family of six children, some of them grown." Air. Ilcarndon's Postofficc Is Yatesville, Upson County, Ga.

March 13, 1SS4-35-c0w SPRING Is the season in which bad or poisoned blood is most apt to show itself. Nature, at this juncture, needs something to assist it in throwing off the impurities which have collected by the sluggish circulation of blood during the cold winter months. Swift's Specific is nature's great helper, as it is a purely vegetable alterative and tonic Rev. L. B. Paine, Macon, Ga., writes: "We have been using Swift's Specific at the orphans' home as a remedy for blood com Elaints, and as a general health tonic, and ave had remarkable results from its use on the children and employees of the insti? tution. It is such an excellent tonic, and keeps the blood so pure, that the system Is less liable to disease. It has cured some of our children of Scrofula." W. H. Gilbert, druggist, Albany, Ga., writes: "We are selling large quantities of Swift's Specific for a Spring alterative and general health tonic, and with the best re? sults.
