COTTON SEED OIL.
An industry which is daily gaiuini; pro
mini rite, not alone in the Stub, but all
oyer the continent, is the manufacture of
cotton-seed oil. Vp to a recent date cot
ton seed was nearly all waste, and the prin
cipal use it was put to was as u fertilizer.
Norn, lioweyer, numerous mills for its man
ufacture have been liuilt all oyer the eut-tiiii-rowing
States, nnd upwards of lillll,.
IMHI tons ulllie seed are annually made
into nil, oil cake and lint. The average
yearly cultoti crop of the I'nitcd States a
iniiunts to about 7,(llll,ll(il bales. As
each bale gives half a ton ol seed the to
tal pro duetion is 3,5110,111X1 tons. Each
tun of seed gives forty gallons of oil, "(ill
pounds of oil-cake and thirty pounds of
lint. The value of these pr.nluets is about
8 1 7. "H at the mill, while the total cost of
proilmtioti is 1 1 ell. The uses to which
the oil is put are increa.in every day. It
ii in aluin-t universal use in the South,
having (ak"n the pl.ice of lard; the sardine
in.lu-try ut Maine uses it altucthcr, In

c nl. nf the su-ctilli'il salad-nil Usui ill this
country is imtliiiii: but mlton-soed oil
which has been exported to Europe and

Immense ipiinlities of the oil are n-t.l by

WOMAN'S HKST l'Kli:XI.
A hairpin is n woman's best fi ien 1. It
fits a luuliipliiily of uses, an I she is never
without one. If her b air is short you can
depend upon it that in a recess of her purse
or a pocket of her reticule you will lind the
hairpin. If she buttons her slues she uses
the hairpin, and who, -vet saw a woman
button her gloves with anv thing else? If
her head iti hi a Joe. -h" scratch it with
rtioger'.' Niinstn.se! Slur "whips out a
hairpin and relieves herself. Suppose a

the coin is liltisl out wiilmut trouble. If

does she take a nutpick? Most assuredly
not. The hairpin again. It is twill the
hairpin that nil-' rips op n the unent have

BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.
A I.RTTF.Il TO A YIU.'Nl! 1JAIIV ON Ttl
EVE OF MAKKIAUK.
One sometimes finds a gem among the
castaways of forgotten years. The follow
ing congratulatory letter to a young lady
on the eve of marriage is venerable, but
good ;
"I am holding Homo pasteboard in my
hands three stately pluckiugs from the
bush of ceremony. 1 am gazing upon a
curd and upon a name a uamu with
which your throbbing heart was lost.
There is nothing strange about the card.
The maiden sign still looks up from it
calm and customary, as it looks on niuiiy a
friendly visit as it iies in many a formal
basket.
"I am gazing, too, upon a card where
the nearer parent tells the world she will
be at home one day, and that is uolhitig
new. But there is anothir care whose
mingling there that put a tongue of fire
into that speechless pasteboard. It tells
us that these cards lire but tlio heralds of
a cotuigg cri-is, when a hand that lias
pres-ed friends' hands and plucked flowers
shall close down on oue to whom ulie will
be u friend and flower forever after.
'I send you a few flowers to adorn the
djing moments of your single life. Tluy
are the gentlest type of a delicate, durable
friendship. They spring up by one's side
when others have deserted it, and will be
found watching over our graves when
those who should have been there have
forgotten us.
"It seems meet that a past so calm and
pure as yours should expire with a kin
dred sweetness about it, that uowers and
music, kind friends nnd earnest words
should consecrate the hour when a senti
ment is passing into a sacrament.
"The three gleat stages of our being are
birth, the bridal and burial. To the first
we bring only weakness; for the last we
have nothing but dust, But here at the
altar, where life joins life, the pair come
throbbing up to the holy man, whispering
the deep promises that arm each with the
other's heart to help on in the lile-strug-gle
of ear1 and duty.
"The beautiful will be there, burrowing
new beauty from the scene the gay and
frivolous will look solemn for once, and
youth will come to gaze on all that its
sacred thoughts hunt for a'. l age will
totter up to hear the old words repeated
over again, that to llitir own lives have
given the charm. Some will weep over it
as if it were a tomb; Some will laugh as il
it were a ikc; but two must stand by it
fur it is fain, not full, this everlasting lock
ing of tin ir lives.
"And. now, can you, who have iiiiecticd
it over mi many bended luriiis, come down
at last tu the frugal diet ofa single heart?
Hitherto you have been a clock, giving
your time to all the wotld. Now you are
a w.iti h buried in one panicul.ir bos un,
in irking only hours and tickiug only to
the beat of his heart, where time and feel
ing shall be in unison until-those lowir
ti-s are lost in that higher wedlock where
all hearts arc united around the great cen
tral heart of all.
HUCCINC.
Too much care cannot be exercised in
pulling arms around the girls of to day.
and we would wish to impress this fact
upon the minds of the young men who are
just coining upon the stage of action. . Of
couise men along iu years do not need ad
vice The boys are apt to put more force
iu the right arm than they are aware of in
such cases, lllll ht cent., more than they
would be apt to do iu sawing wood or cur
rying up a scuttle uf coal.' They should
bear ill mind that girls are too valuable tu
be used for developing the muscles, as you
would n gymnasium. Yon don't have to
sipieei,' a girl lill her liver is forced from
its imrnial po-iiion, and she chokes op and
catches her breath, lo shew th at you love
her. A gentle Huooie of the hand, the
stealing uf the arm around her waist whin
.he ii not looking, and the h a-t pressure
upon her belt is ull the law reipiitea. She
can tell by your face whether you love her
x- vuu sit tn-Tc tn trie twncjfit (
into the guiding star eyes, as Will us
though you had gralihcd her as you would
a sack of wheat aud hung on like a dog to
a rui'l. Dun t ui ilo a b.iirel h.s.p of your
self, ud try to break cvtry stave iu the
girl you think you love, and you will not
have cause lor the sorrow the poor young
man in Iowa has, who liiesut no harm,
but lacked a governor to tMpialiae his pow
er. Hug eusy till you find that die patient
will stand inure, and llu n you can apply
(be proper siiiei ture. Sotneliines we think
there ought to be a prof.-smirsliip in our
feinal i achiHila for testing the rapacity of
scholars for the trying ordeal which they
must pass through. If there was audi a
professorship, and gills wore a ticket or
certificate showing just how much hiig
' v'lnf would Iip good for l lit-iii, it might
nit j many valuable lives.

A BOY'S AMBITION.
Of course he means to do something
for himself by and by, but he docs not
propose to soil his fingers with work. He
is going to be a clerk, or a doctor, or a
lawyer. My cheerful young man arc you
sure you know what you are talking about?
What do clerks earn ? How much does
n young doctor receive? Oh! but you
don't mean to be a poor clerk. You in
tend to be a great lawyer, with ten thous
and n year, or a doctor with a curiiage.
Charmed to hear it. It is a noble resolve,
but are you sure you will get there?
Really, now, can a young man tell, how
cm he be sure he will succeed 1 In this
way. A man succeeds who falls in love
with his work. He thinks about it day
and night, he studies it; he reads nil ho
can find on the subject. lie tries and dies
till he can do it well. Then it is he suc-
eds. You do not care much about med-
! ine; you have no burning desire to study
this magnificent machine, the human body.
You don't care very much for dreadful
work in hospitals, and yet you mean to bo
a doctor. Y'ou would secretly much pre
fer to have a kit of carver's tools, but of
ourse, you could never bo a carver by
trade? Let us stop lure. This is the
summing up of a vast deal of homely
wisdom. Do you love any work ? Is
thero anything that, if you were indo cm.!
cnt, you would do before anything else ?
If tin re it do that. There is your suc
cess; that way lies all the money, the re
wards, the respect of others, and all the
real honest happiness you will ever find.
Hoys make a mistake in thinking that
only lawyers, doctors, and iinichiints suc

WALKING TOHIS DEATH.
JOHN SNIIIEH's TltAMI' OF 2."i,00l) MILES
ON AfClll'.NT OF A hl'INAL DIKE INK.
In lilacklorj County, Indiana, lives
John Snider, who was in perfect health
until two years ago last April when, while
at wink in the field, he was seized with i
spasmodic twitching of his onus and hand;
and severe cramping of the muscles of the
body. He was inpacitate l for labor of
any kind, and the physician summoned
pronounced the case a must strioiis t,iK.
After a few days of sullcring all symptoms
ut nervous derangement disappeared, and
for u week Snider was apparently as well
as ever. Then the muscular convulsions
ngain manifested themsolves, but this time
in the legs. He lost coin ml uf both legs,
and the propensity to walk, which will
eventually cany Snider to the grave, took
complete iiiisv-s-ioii uf him, aud willi the
exception of .iliuiii foiii hours each day
from one to live A. M , he i- constantly on
his feet und traveling al the rate of four
miles an hour.
Al live o'clock in ibc morning, after a
sleep of three or four hours, Suider beg. lis
his daily tramp and continues walking,
eating his meals as he walks, until one
one o'clock the following nn, ruing, when
he sits down iu u chair iiml sleeps soundly
being unable to rest iu u leeumbeui posi
tion. At ilie outset bis flit nils in 'eavorcil by
force to induce him to remain ijuict, but
he immediately became frsnlic, and with
tears iu his eyes the patient begged to be
relexsed ol he would die. Snider was pla
ced in the State Asylum ut Indianapolis
for a brief time, but was returned by the
authorities there, pronounced harmless nnd
incurable. He is perfectly rational, but
talks but little about his peculiar all'ittiun
and seems rather averse tu newspaper no
toriety. The walker stated that he could mil pos
sibly et'iilrul himsclf.aiul that his physician
hid informed him that he would Walk
until death claimed him. When Snidi r
began his tramp he Weighed llill annuls ;
he liuif weighs loll pounds and has not an
ounce of MipcrflooUH flesh. His muscles
are hard und firm. He has fully recovered
Irotn a reeeiit iuoissH.iiiuii, Mlu-U Ilo KUa
thought to ha dying. Ilo walks with a
ipiick step of uniform length, striking his
heels into the soil each time, the slunk
being apparently a grateful oue to the
muscles.
At times Sutler sleeps as liu walks, and
for an hour, guided by relatives, he wino
around the circle snoring loudly, and uhui
awakening he runs at a rapid gale fur sev
eral mil , to "rest himself," as he my.
Suider supers no pain und is apparently
coutented while in motion.
In October Suider was placed In-hind a
plough in a field and made luir progress
fur a time, but when the plough Urm k a
hidden root and sluppcd Snider, instead of
extricating it, let go ol the handles, walk
ed around the houses and set off alono on
bis regular tramp. It is estimated that
during the two years he has been walking
Snider has travelled 2."i,llliU miles.

stuck of Zollieoff r'a pun1 old apple bran

THE POINT OF DEATH.
Although usually it is easy to tell when
dissolution has occurred, yet there uie
cases which occur from time to time ren
dering the mutter one of very grave uncer
tainty. The point at which the soul relin
quishes the body is among the most diffi
cult things to establish. Perhaps this un
certainty is one of tlio reasons why there
i such curiosity as to death beds and last
words. We are anxious to know how
affairs appear to those who are passing
away. They are undergoing tlio great
change through which every one must
pass.
How does it look to them ? ery lit
tle more information is to be gathered from
the dying than from the dead. Ceitaiu
inferences may be drawn from the Biir
roundings the departing color, the told.
deepening stare, the groan, the rattle in
the throat, the stiffening limb; but they
are as likely to mislead as not. And the
same may be said of the death sayings.
They are as enigmatic as the declarations
of the oracles. We may take sometimes
half a doz.'ii meanings from them, as, for
instance, Goethe's "More light !" Was it
tho sen e of taitl Iy dmkuess growing
around him, or was it the breaking of the
eternal light upon his vission, tu wus tliete
yet some deep significance in the exclama
tion ?
Medical works show that people have
been resuscitated fifteen, twenty und even
thirty minutes after apparent death. Hel
lion, the highwayman, is said to have been
dead three quarters of an hour. His body
was cut down after hanging that length of
time, and was hauded over to bis friends
after a thorough cxuuiiuation. That night
he was seen as well as ever except for a
stiffness of the neck. Piyee, the Norwich
miser, was dead as Cicsar, according to
those about him, and until some thought
ful person, distrusting the warmth of his
hands, administrcd a stimulant. He arose
and lived years afterwards. Cases of mere
t ranee are almost innumerable.
Supposed deaths from drowning show
that resuscitation may take place thirty or
forty minutes after all life has apparently
left the body. The question as to what
Lbecomcs uf the soul in this long interval
is the one which puzzles many. Hut the
chief point in the matter is that the phy
sicians and friends should not too readi y
accept appearances in the critical hour.
There may, us in the Eraser instance, be
yet some spark of life remaining. As Dr.
I.ackerster claims, there is absolutily no
reason why, with the rcsouices he employ
ed at hand, any one should die of uu over
dose of cliluiolorm or from a shock while
undergoing a surgical operation.

A remarkable bird perlmps ono of
the most onrioua in all tho range of
ornithology is among tho latest addi
tions to tlio Zoological Society's gardens.
It is tho canipanei'o, or "bell bird " of
the Brazils, a member of u very strange
family of fowls, nnd itself one of the
strangest of them nil. In scientific
nomenclature they till n plana not per
haps creditable to the feathered crea
tures, since they are known as the
"songless birds;" but, after all, they
share this reproach, if such it bo, with
tlio very large majority of tboir class.
For there are not many birds with a
song worth calling such, anil not ninny
more that lmvo even a melodious twitter
or chirp. The cntiipniioro itself is that
half-mystical bell ringor of the deep
American forests whose; tolling, clear,
sonorous nnd musical, has filled trav
elers with wonder and delighted awe,
Out from the leafy depths, tho home of
the jaguar nnd the lioa, comes to the
ear that rhythmical chime, rung by no
human linn. Is, and yet recalling to the
exilo the familiar voices of belfry nnd of
campanile in far-away Europe. One of
tho sweetest singers of our modern day
has mado it Ibis betirt-rcaeliing, sacred
Ihronteil bird the subject of an exqui
site poem, where the Englishman out ill
the bush, in the masteries wild country,
listening to the sound, remeniliers homo.
"0;'t as iu n tlrt am I see full fain the
bell tower beautiful that I love well, a
seemly cluster with her churchos twain.
I hear nilown the river faint nnd swell
mid lift upou tho nir that soniitl again;
It is, it is how sweet no tongue etui teil,
for all the world wide hredth of shining
foam, the b ll-i of Evesham chiming
'Homo, sweet bottle.'" Nor does the
romantic Indian fail to hike an untutored
pleasure ill the voice of the hidden
thing, anil beautiful legends have clus
tered ltmiiil it like orchids round the
boughs among which the bell-bird sits
to toll. It is ul unit tho size nf a Jay,
with n plumage ns white us suo-.v, and
rising out of the beak u queer horn-like
tube that looks like a mouldy twig.
Selecting by preference the topmost
brunch of sonio great ileiul giant of the
wood, the ciinipiiiiero morning and
(veiling rings iu the day nnd rings it
out The nolo is loud ami clear and
can lio heard three miles nil'. "So
sound or song from any of the winged
inhabitants of the forest, not even the
elearly-piiinonuoed whip-poor-will of the
goat-sueker, causes," says Wntertou in
his "lianililings," "such astonishment
as the toll of the bird which the Iudiaus
cull the 'ihini' and wo the liell bird."
When the (leadening heat of noon has
bushed the country this fowl ulone lias
heart enough to eln er tho solitude, and
" so sweet, so novel and so romantic is
the tolling of the pretty snow-white
ciimpauero that Orpheus himself niijjht
drop his lute to listen."

Inm told that one of the prettiest nf
these Chinese festivals occurs iu the
middle of April, iu honor of the very
biuelleent anil popular god, I'ank-tai,
who has at various times been iiieainnte
usm the earth, for the good of mankind.
One of these incantations occurred after
the ili'lngo which dustroyeil tho wholo
world in the reign of tlio. Chinese
Empi'inr Yaou, IV C S:H7 (a date which
closely ourrespunds with that of the
Universal Dctii'jo recorded in the
Hebrew scriptures, nud noted in our
chronology ns 1'.. C. 2J4U). After this
terrible flood all knowledge of agricul
ture, nrt, and scieuc.i was lost, so l'nak
tai came back t earth to instinct the
survivors. Tho really pretty nud unique
features of his festival is that on throe
successive evenings nil his worshippers
bring their pet siiiging-liinls generally
larks, which they habitually carry ulioiit
with tiicin iu their pretty cages, just ns
Englishmen go out iicoonipnuiedby their
dogs. I am not sure, however, that n
liritoti would appreciate the tumble of
always currying his pet, ns these celes
tials tin ! Thus a croud of several
hundred larks nie ns-embled, nnd ull
are brought into the brilliantly illuuii
tinted temple. Tho cages, which are
covered for the occasion, nre suspended
from horizontal bamboos, so that pre
sently the whole temple is full of them.
Oil ii given signal, nil the coverings nre
removed nud the astonished larks, sup
posing that they have overslept them
selves, nud allowed tlio sou to rise
without their morning hyinu, make up
for lost time by bursting forth into n
most unitizing chorus of soug, which
they keep up for about two hours,
equally to the delight of the human
crowd, rich nud ptsir, uml of the Inoietl
ee nt deity who is thus- honored. 8c
these people, mho enlist tho I rerun
nud the Bt reruns lo sound tho belli

tonoh the birds also to tlo their purl in
the general thnuksgiviii.
