Il litis been demonstrated that cotton picking by machinery is not only practi cable, but that the work is done faster and the grade of the cotton tlnm, picked is rather benefited than otherwise. In a recent issue of the Waco (Texas) Globe wo find an interesting reference to the work done by a cotton picking machine which was rcoently tesced : The Globe says : "When the picker was sent out to the farm, the plant was in full leaf and was well filled with unripe bolls and blossoms, Those bolls which were open were picked clean and the foliage and unripe bolls left uninjured. This has always hereto- fora been believed to be au impossibility, but the Lone Star Cotton Picker does the work neat and clean. The cot ton picked by this machine compares favorably with handpicked lint, nd in many instances has proven clearer. Usu ally about ten per cent, of this lint is dropped, but is caught on the earpet or trailer and at the end of the row is taken from the trailer and sacked. This cotton whioh is caught in the trailer is kept free from trash and dirt by a cleaner which has been invented by Mr. Campbell. The orop consisted of fifteen acres and aver aged one-half bale to the acre the ma chine did just as good work where there was three-fourths of a bale to the acre as where the yield Ttas only one-fourth of a hale, and the same time was consumed in gathering the cotton. There U no looser any question of the capacity of the ma chine to pick cotton better and cheaper than it can possibly be picked by hand Tho sceed of the picker was timed re peatedly and the result shows that it can pick from six to fourteen pounds a min ute, when moving over the row at the rate of two miles an hour, which is the rate at which an ordinary mule team walks. At the gin the cotton was con sidered as being in better condition than that picked by hand, as it was parted into single seeds and could be ginned with loss injury to the fibre." SUPERSTITION' IN MAINE. Bangor Commercial, In regard to the habit of partridges of flying into civilization and a popula superstition regarding them, an Augusta man says : "Ono flew on our premises and was captured. Then came up tb question whether we should kill the bird or allow it to live. At that timo there was a popular superstition that if a par tridge came to the house where a sick person lay and the bird was killed and the sink person ate the broth, it would effect a care. There was a girl sick at our house and the doctors had given up her case as hopeless. Some of the family said, kill the partridge and give the siok girl the broth. But the sick girl and others were for permitting the partridge to live. We were equally divided and agreed to let one of the neighbors whom we saw coming to the house decide whether the partridge should be killed or not. He said kill it, and we did, and the sick girl ate the broth and got well. Rev. Svlvanus Lank Of the Cin cinnati M. E Conference, makes a good point when he says: "We have fur years used Hood's Sarsaparilla in our fumily of five, aud find it fully equal to all (hat is claimed lot it. boum people arc greatly prejudiced agjiuat patent med icines, but how the pateut can hurt a medicine and not a machine is a mystery of mysteries to me." Hood's Pills cure liver ills. . Well, I never got off anything that tickled me more than that, remarked the dog as he picked the flea from his left ear. Nothing could be more positive and to tho point than the testimony of Mrs. Wm. F. VVhittington, of waterbtiry, Md , who writes as follows: "I have found Salvation Oil a most useful remedy; for ne'Vralgu it is uunqn f.n tprain unxcelled. I cheerful y recommend u as a valuable household article." THE PROMISED LAND. THEY THINK THE JEY S BEST WORK HAS BEEN DONE OUT OF PALESTINE. The Sun infers from the increase of Jewikh population in Jerusalem and va rious evidences of renewed activity, agri cultural and commercial, that Palestine is on the road to regeneration. We do not share the Sun's sentiments or expec tations in this matter. Jewish public opinion on this subject is not difficult to ascertain. The great majerity of Israel ites who share the civilization of the day and are accorded civil and rclijiious equality give no thought of returning' to Palestine. They are proud to be citi zens of the land of their nativity or adop tion. If the traditional view of. the final ingathering and the rebuilding of the Temple is still repeated in the pray ers, it is held as a theory, like that of the millennium among our Protestant breth ren, who are in no hurry, however, to abandon Wall street, the Standard Oil company, and Western mortgages in con sequence. A great many Israelites, too, among them learned rabbis of established repu tation, have abandoned all belief in the restoration. They believe Judaism was never to be confined to a single land and Israel's God not to be narrowed to a single people. Thev think that the Jew's best work has been done out of Palestine, and it was his salvation, not destruction, to be dispersed over the habitable globe, to spread to the furthoit isles of the sea, directly and indirectly, the belief in God's unity and the brother hood of mankind. If they had been kept within the limits of Palestine, if they had survived its suoceseive invasion and catastrophes, they would have been today like the Fellahin of Egypt or the Bedouin of the desert Semitic slaves or marauders. American Hebrew. RAILWAYS. WHAT ELECTRICITY MAY YET DO FOR THE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS. William Nelson Black in November Engineering Magazine says : '"The road wagons and the short-lived top-buggies and carriages of the farmer costs him a very pretty peony in the course of a year, or a term of years, and they represent a service which the electric railroad can largely abolish. But agaiust this saving must of course be set the cost of the ruilruads, the electric power stations, the rent of electric wagons, and operating expenses. What would be the amount ? An accurate estimate cannot, of course, be made here, because conditions differ so widely in different sections of the country; but as closo a calculation as we can make in advance, founded on the cost of the electric railroads already in operation warrants us in saying that probably 90 per cent, of the roadways in the United States could be equipped with the necessary track, poles, and wires at a cost of $3,500 per mile. In u district ten miles square the surface that could ue serveu iroui a single central power station there would be, in the larger part of the Union, about 100 miles of railway. Then the total cost of track for a district ten miles square would be $350,000. This repiwnts a capitaliza tion of only $t to the uclc, and an aunu.il charge of 30 cents per aTe. With a central power station larg'i enough to operate all the wagons it cars that would be culled into nse at oin.- lime in tl;r district, the oapitaliistiou mteil nut be more than $10 per sere Tlii- wo v.u mean an annual interest charge of Sh'O for each 100 acres of land. It must bs conceded that thin does not seem like a very heavy tax when we consider the na ture of the service rendered available, the great saving in the cost and main tenance of horses uud wngous, the enor mous eoonomy of time, and tho grontly enhanced value ol improved farm lands. If the interest charge atuounu d to $100 per year, and the farmers were themselves chiefly the stockholders of the ulvcirie U.HU,. tuics, it would sun reprebcnl nu eoonomy. THE COLORED PEOPLE. MISS HOWARDS INTEBESTINCI DATA PREPARED FOft THE WORLD'S FAIR. Miss J. Imogen Howard, tho only colored woman on tho board of the lady managers of the World's Fair, is busily engaged in gathering statistics concern ing colored women in New York state. Her work is mainly centered on educa tional matters, but Miss Howard is using her knowledge of her race to assist other managers of 'the World's Fair in what ever branch colored women are of inter est. Facts are being gathered relative to the colored women who are engaged in various occupations, such as controlling or owning farms, working in shops, offices and factories, engaged in horticul ture and floriculture, or in practicing any profession. Those who are employed in domestic service and all artists, designers, teachers and authors are to be included in the r1- ports concerning the progress of the negro in New York state. Miss Howard is a teacher employed i the public schools of this city. She is graduateof tho School of Pedagogy of tl New university, and ranks in geoer. information far above the average instruc tor.
