COTTON PICK! Tliey are Sure to Coir A cotton picking machine that ap pears to have some merit, was recently exhibited in Houston, Texas. Thc following account of the machine and its inventor appears in the Houston Post, a reliable and able journal : . A cotton picking machine, or a cot ton harvester, was exhibited near Houston yesterday, and competent judges who witnessed its work state that it comes nearer taking the place of human fingers than anything of the kind ever before seen. The inventor of this machine is Mr. George S. Lee, of Hawthorne, N. J. He has experimented with it several times recently in New York, but de cided that) a thorough test in an aotual cotton field was needed, and that Texas was the place for such a trial. Prior to his departure for Houston, Mr. Lee had formed the acquaintance of Messrs. Frank Cargill and E. R. Richardson of the firm of Cargill & Richardson, and at their solicitation agreed to exhibit his cotton picker sear the city. Some twelve or fifteen gentlemen were invited to witness the harvester at work, and a cotton farm about three miles from the city was selected for the test. In the party were Messrs. W. M. Read, C. H. Lucy, G. W. Kidd, B.W. Hunter, R. L. Neill, B.W. Martin, G. W. Kidd, Jr., S. R. Rich ardson, Dr. X D. McGregor, Mr. Cal houn and others. When the field was reached. Mr. Lee and his assistants tad the cotton harvester in position and ready for gathering the staple. . The machine is about thirty inches wide and six feet in length. It is in tended to be pulled by a mule or large norse, and goes between the rows of fotton. Extending from each side and behind are long rubber arms in ?he form of hose, which are used to draw out the cotton. The harvester ia run by gasoline, and suction is gen erated by an exhaust fan to take the cotton from the bolls. Each arm of hose is handled by one person, who merely applies the suction pipe to the opened boll of ootton-and the ma chine does the rest. One harvester can have anywhere from eight to twenty-one arms, and will employ just that many men. Bach hose, accord ing to the inventor's statement, can pull at least 1,000 pounds of cotton a ?ay, consequently a machine with . fourteen arms would do the work of seventy men, estimating the average picking by hand at 200 pounds daily. A? the cotton is drawr? through the pipes it. pa?Beg the exfcajjsfc fan and faUs into a large wire receptable, each seed and the lint surrounding it drop ping eut together. The suction takes in every Httle trash, and when handled properly nothing but tile- 'cotton itself W-auld ever leave tbe stalk. The great disadvantage of all cotton picking ma chines heretofore invented has been their inability to .gather the cotton without taking part of the boll, dead leaves, trash, etc, which naturally ?ade the cotton dirty and of low grade when ginned. Mr. Lee's machiine is not perfect by any means, but he has certainly de monstrated the feasibility of gather ing cotton by suction. This was shown to the satisfaction of all wit nesses yesterday, despite the fact that the mechanical part of the harvester was not in good working order. "I simply wanted to demonstrate the principle," said Mr. Lee, in speak ing of the experiment. "If the theory is correct it will be very, easy for me io improve and develop the mechani cal details. I already have fifty ideas in my head for the improvement and ' reconstruction of the various parts of the harvester, and it was mainly for this that I brought my machine to Texas. You must remember that this is the first one I have constructed, and that it is naturally in a crude form. Every part of it can be made lighter, the arms will need to be fash ioned differently, and many other changes made. I have proved to my own satisfaction that this is the only possible way in which cotton can be harvested by machinery, and I will now devote my time to developing the patent." Mr. Lee has used this same machine for cleaning the streets of New York, the trash being drawn up by a similar method of suction. Mr. Waring, who is at the head'of New York's cleaning department, has given him the con tract for cleaning several streets, and Mr. Lee expects to perform the work at half the former expense. Mr. Lee will return to New York, and from there will go to his home in New Jersey. He expeets to return some time in the next six or eight months, and promises to show his ma chine in a perfect condition for pick ing cotton. STILL ANOTHER. An ingenious Oklahoma planter has in fen ted a device to make cotton pick ing easier. It was invented by C. A. Wilson, of Foutz, Lincoln County, and is thus described : A narrow boat, with a canopy to shade the cotton pickers from the sun, is mounted upon broad flat rnnners. NG MACHINES. ie in trie N"ear Future. The boat is probably twenty incheo deep. At each end is an iron ring, to which a steady horse is hitched. The pickers, usually two, get into the boat, start the horse between two rows of cotton, and with scarcely any bending, and no carrying of heavy sacks, ride in ease while they work. It is claim ed that a person who can pick 150 pounds with a sack can pick 200 pounds with a boat, for the reason that no time is wasted putting the cotton into thc sack, the picker drop ping it loose in the bottom of the boat. Inventor Wilson already has secured a patent for his cotton boat. Several of them will be sent to Southern States this week, where they will be exhibited in the cotton fields. It would seem that the backache of the cotton field would have suggested long ago such a simple contrivance, but an old Texas cotton buyer said that he had never before heard of such a thing ; that persons regularly engag ed in the business developed "cotton picking muscles" in their backs, and never need boats. It's This Way. A writer gives this amusing expla nation of the abilities of woman versus the limitations of man. Juit watch them and see if it is not true. A man cannot do two things at a time. A woman will broil a steak, and see that the coffee does not boil over, and watch the cat that she does not steal the remnant of the meat on the kitch en table, and dress the youngest boy, and set the table, and see to the toast, and stir the oatmeal, and give the orders to the butcher, and she can do it all at once and not half try. Man has done wonders since he came be fore, the public. He has navigated the ocean, he has penetrated the mys teries of the starry heavens, he has harnessed the lightning, and made it pull street cars and light the great cities of the world. Bat he can't find a spool of red thread in his wife's work basket; he can't discover her pocket in a dress hanging in the closet; he cannot hang out clothes and get them on the line the right end up. He cannot hold clothes pins in his mouth while he is doing it either. He cannot be polite to somebody he hates. He can't sit in a rocking chair with out banging the rockers into the base board. He can't put the tidy on the sofa pillow the right side out. He cannot sew on a button: In short, he cannot do a hundred things that wo men do almost instinctively. Cheating Africans. Soon after tue war the South was a prolifio field for rascals to prey on the ignorance of the newly emancipated slaves. Jackson County, Florida, had an immense colored population, and here many swindlers found themselves in clover. One scheme was worked with especial success. Two flashily dressed "gentlemen" driving a hand some turnout made a house-to-house canvass, representing to the negroes that they were sent out by the Gov ernment to see if the titles to the negroes' properties were good. In each case the title was found to be bad, of course, and the confiding negro was informed that it would be made good on payment of $25. The poor negroes hustled around, sold ?tock, household goods and even what little clothing they had to raise the money. When that was paid a large envelope with a red seal was given, with strict instructions not to open it or talk to anyone, but to keep quiet until a day named, two weeks from that time, when he would meet the Government agents at the county seat, when his title would be made all right. On the day named over five thou sand negroes gathered in Mariana. The day wore on, but the Government agents came not. Finally, about night, one of them went to a local lawyer and had his envelope opened. Here was what he found for a title : "Know all men by these presents, that as Moses lifted up thc serpent in the wilder ness, so have we lifted $25 out of this fool." And then a voice was heard weeping in the land ; it was the negro, and he refused to be comforted be cause his $25 was not.

He has escaped the necessity of mak ing thirteen Christmas presents this year. A Small Boy's Revenge. He was a small boy-not such a very small boy-in an out-of-town school. He had written a composition. It was upon the subject of dogs. Now the teacher of the school was a man, and he was not popular. He was what the boys called "mean." They disliked him thoroughly, from the tips of his shining shoes to the ends of his pompadour combed hair. In the composition there was a story of a dog. It was the story of a very mean dog, and as the composer of the literary effort came to the last line he read it emphatically and with great distinctness of utterance, and the hearts of all the other small boys in the room, as they listened, quaked, half with delight and half with fear, knowing what was to follow, and gaz ing, fascinated at the upright coiffure of the master as the reader ended: "And that dog was so mean that his bair stood on end." -S^The late Jeremiah Mason was once engaged in a famous trial, in which some good Methodist brethren were concerned. One morning when the court opened, an overzealous friend came to him, and in a solemn whisper said: "Mr. Mason, Mr. Mason, I had a vision last night. Gabriel appeared fco me Lnd told me that brother A. was innocent. No mistake about it." "'Very well," said the man of law, not so much as lifting his huge head from over the table on which he was writ ing, "very well; better have Gabriel subpoenaed immediately." - A young western lady who want ed something that would keep her stockings up where they belonged, thus addressed the terror-stricken young store clerk: "It is my desh^ to obtain a pair of circular elastic ap pendages capable of being contracted atid expanded by means of oscillating burnished steel appliances that sparkle like particles of gold leaf set with Alaska diamonds, and which are util ised for keeping in position: the habili ment of the lower extremities which innate delicacy forbids me to men tion." - The assertion comes from Ger many thau the majority of people are not only right-handed, but also right sighted. By this is meant that most persons see better with the right eye than with the left, and habitually, though unconsciously, employ it more. Some persons, however, make greater use of the left eye than, ol' the right, and accordingly they are called "left eyed." s - The great fire of 1872 in Boston burned over sixty acres, and entailed a loss of $60,000,000 or a million an acre. The great fire in London in I606 swept over 436 acres, and de stroyed property to the amount of $35,000,000, or $80,000 an acre. In thc latter case the fire ra^ed in the dwelling section as well as in the mer cantile, still the comparison affords an idea of the increase in values in mod ern cities. - Life is hard at best, but it can bc made doubly harder by unnecessary wounds from those we love.
