Short Tnlk With tho Boys. DY M. QUAD. "What's that you threw away ?" "Nothing but a bit of striug." ?'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 neem? to realize that ifs 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 see, and wc nitihl begin with cotton. As far South as Georgia and Alabama cotton seed is in the ground by thc Inst of February, ind never later than tho first week in March. It is drilled in the samo as wheat, and soon after the plant ia up a force of negroes called '?choppers" are ?et to work. "Chopping cotton" mentis going aloug the rows with a hoe and editing or chopping out the extra planta. If left as they come up they would bo too crowded. Later on tho ?lants must he hoed like corn, and it is 'all before tho boll opens and shows tho clean, snow white cotton. There are from two to four or fivo pickings, according tb tho strength of the crop. Right heie is where tho hardest part of the work conics in. Negroes with sucks slung over their shoulders take tho field row by row and, with a twist of the fingers which few while men can imitate, snatch thc cotton from thc boll. They must work in a st?opir?g posture, atm go where you will in tho cotton Slate*, you can tell an old cotton picker by his walk on the Creels. Your string hus been planted, "chopped," hoed and gathered. Millions nf dullard have been invested, thousands of people given work, and millions again are to,be realized. Now, then, tbocottou rbttst' bo ginned, IO take tho seeds nod dirt out. The cotton-gin houses of thc South represent hundreds of thousands of dollars more. Then it munt be pressed, sacked and hooped, rnd you have tho ordinary bale of cotton Weighing, say, 500 pounds. Now if the cotton Ls lo bo used nt home, Ibo ordinary baies are loaded into wagons oreartsynnd* drawn to the nearest town. You see them como in by tix mulo teams, by four, by two, ami now and then one drives into town on ins single bale drawn by au ox. " . If the colton is to go abroad il is sent to thu compress. Tins is a powerful ma chino into which four mcu jerk un ordi nary bule, which seems packed hurd enough to resist a cannon shot, and, nt one rrjpeeze, the bnlo becomes almost as flat AH a pancake. The weight is all lhere, but tho bulk lins been reduced two thirds. Three bales eau be squeezed into one by the compress, and 1,000 pounds will stow in tho place of 500. And now I have not mentioned the Inspecting, grading, woighing, buying, rchooping and shipping, all of which give employment lo thousands more and causa millions of dollars to chango hands. That bit of string begins to have moro vhluo in your eyes, eh! Well, let's see. We go into the Enterprise Cotton Mill nt Augusta, Ga. As you stand ut tho door n momont let mo tell you thut the cotton mills of America represent mil lions of dollars agnin, and ihnt Genius luis fairly exhausted herself iu in vent ing the machinery-machinery so near human Hint you almost, expecl to hour it cali out to you. Wo first go into the flicking room. Here the cotton, just ns it comes from tho plantation, is fed into machines called pickers. They remove any refuse and blow tho dust out. From the pickers tho cotton goes to tho finish' era, who weave it into whnt is called a Inp-or n great white roll of coarse cotton batting, lt is thoa fed through another machiuo and comes out in rolls nguiu, which are called finishers' laps, lt is much whitei and Bolter (hun before. It is wonnd off on to great spools, and when the-:a spools nra lull they ore wheeled into the carding room. This room is 240 feet long by seventy-five wide, and the iS??! caa pick and card fliirleeit bales per day. 'Tho stuff wound off on our spools ?B not Btring, but a soft, lender rope tho si zo of a chair round. Our .spools now ,go the railways in what Are called "drawings." The four ropes are there merged into one, nnd - run out into the cylinders called railway cases. Theu sixteen of the ropes aro merged into four and run over a draw frame. Then four go over another frame j and become ono. Then the cans are ranged alongside of a machine culled a "sweater," aud the entis of tho drawings or ropes are run up to spindles and re wound. This time tho rope is about half the B?ZOO? a clothes line, and is called "roping." They go from this to the "fino frames," and two threads become one. It is then ready to go to the spin ning room ou the third floor aud be spun on bobbins. Tho rope bas now been re duced to the sizo of No. 40 thread. That is liner than our string; but let ms go on. The bobbin gnes to tho spooling depart ment and is there run off ou to spools. One spool will hold all that can bo wound upon ten bobbins. Tho spools go to the warping frames, there being 3S0 separate spools and 380 scparato threads, each nf which must bo attached to tho warping beam. The thread must bo carried through a hot air chest and sized before ready for the web. The threads then bave tc bo picked into a ,"iir.:!Ks.''," nnd each fjivl who follows this' work handlea i/JUD separate threads twico over in about nu hour. When the threads aro flnal)y\ in "harness" nnd drawn they aro ready for the loom, aud each girl attends to four looms. When - yon enter tho weaving -room you hear a great clashing and clanking, ?nd every thing seoras in confusion. But cpme.np to this loom. U ia weaving; the cloth which you may yet wear for a shirt: See theporfect^on of movement ! Everything ls timed to tho fiftieth part of a second. One shuttle down-ono up.'

In look ing overlive yards of factory cloth you will find at least one rough spot-somo .. thine;like n knot. That ucaused by tho breaking of one of tho threads.

Hu .uni plow? hare been in usc for sev eral years in England, Egypt and some part? of the United .States. Heretofore the only steam plow that has g'Vi U sat isfaction is one arranged to he "..wn by an engine stationed at thc side of the field by mean? of a wiro rope. There arc many objections to this plan, and hundreds of experiments have. boen made to demonstrate the practicability of plowing with a traction engine. Heretofore these experiments have not produced satisfactory results; hut now tho wheat growers of Dakota are begin ning to use a traction engine pion that bid J far to supersede horse power for turning prairie sod. An engine 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. * Fuel being scarce and costly in Dnr kola, the cost of breaking thc land hy stearn is said to bi; one dollar per acre. t)f course that loaves a good margin of profit for the uwUer of tho plow. The cost of breaking tho land by animal power is three dollars per acre, as it ro quires four horses or oxen, one man and i boy lo operate ono plow, which will break only a ?ttlo more than an acre a Jay. No steam plow had yet been construct sd, however, to meet '.ho requirements of miall farmers. There has long been a great demand for such a machine. Some twenty years ago Horace (Jreely dedi cated the book which demonstrated how little he knew aboul farming to thc man who should invent a steam plow. It would appear that its construction would not be a very difficult mutter, bin no ono iias ever yet claimed thc dedication. The rapid development of Ibo electri cal science suggests before many yeal., ilectricity, rather than steam, will be looked to by farmers for motive power to J raw their plows and wagons and propel ill their farm machinery. With tho ifornge batteries already invented, and he utilization of the power of thu wind ind water courses in generating electric!* y,ii only neei'!?? a few Bt?ps torward lo idopt this mysterious force to every pur ?ose where power is required (len L'guinbs once remarked.tb nt "Thc niggerx md mules are eating up thc country."

Hut prior to that an or ganization had been effected in Augusta ! to protect nun against thc draft, each member paying *2"> tr? the fund to hire a substitute it drafted. .Mr. Blaine out of that fund hired a substitute named Brad ford. A soft place was found for the man to remain at tho |?<>st in Augusta instead of going to Ibo trout. After a while bc was detected in felling for money certain certificates, and he was kept in jail until the Close of the war. Thal constituted Mr. Maine's service in thc field. ?Loud laughter.] After the war closed, the men who had been drawn claimed thal thc towns and cities should pay the ex- I penses they had been put to, and Angus- ? ta generously voted to pay these men the money they had paid for substitutes, and Mr. Blaine got his bond for ?200. Bul this is not the end. Afterwards a resolu tion was put before the Common Council of Augusta to pny Mr. Maine $200, tho amount he lind paid for a substitute, and I it was voted and passed and be was paid.

Borne time ago it occuired to her that it would be the part of common sense to UBO her teeth only when she desired to tnik or eal. Accordingly, she now carries thvW sus pended by a cord around her neck. When she meets a friend she Iii st puta on her eye glasses and looks at him and then pula in her teeth and indulges in conversation. Similarly, when she goes to dinner, she puts in her teeth as soon as the soup has disappeared and the fish is brought on.
