There is no mista,ke about it that

- "What eau they earn?"
The Chinese came in there when
they had never seen a cotton stalk, and
in -a, short time could pick two hundred
pounds a day. We can pay 50 cents a
hundred for picking, and I think we can
even stand 60 cents." .
•its a place for single men then;
how about men with families ?"
"I am not so sure about men with
families at first, but our policy must be
to encourage them to work the land for
a share of the crop. I t-ried the ex-
periment this year with a Swede. He
wffi have twenty bales Of. cottort, and
has already a crop of eight; hundred
bushels of corn."
"You ta:11: about taking thirty or
forty thousand laborers there! But
that will take the work from your
hands who are there, and leave them to
starve!" -
"The trouble is that we haven't
them there. For four months we need
that much more help than we are able
to get. We lost one-fourth. of our cot-
ton crop in 1876, ploughed it in, be-
cause we had not hel-.) to gather it. It
is a loss to the whole country. If a
hundred thousand bales of cotton go
to waste for want of hands to gather
it, the coimtry suffers as great a loss as
if property of that value were burned

The Story of a, Nose.
M. Aragro, the French statesman and
nephew of the_ astronomer, is, in spite
of his 6;,'' years, a very handsome man.
He has ta, large nose, of which he is
somewhat proud. A short time ago he
was travelling by train to Versailles, -
when a child., who was in the same car-
riage, and who had. watched Arago for
some tirae with dilated eyes, began to
cry. In vain clicl the child's mother,
Arago, and. another Senator, endeavor
to calm the perturbed juvenile- The
poor mother was in. despair, and, as
the shrieks grew more and more pierc-
ing, Arago felt bound to interfere and
see what he could do.
He said to the child, " what ails you
my dear? Are you afraid of me? I
dont look very naughty, do 1?"
Thus addressed, the child sobbed. out.
"Take off your nose."
Arago looked at the mother, who
grew very confused, and , I
"Ah, monsieur, excuse me,- excuSe
ray son."
I
But madam," said Arago, "what
does he mean?"
The mother theu eXplained that she
had, during the carnival, taken her
children to see a munber.of persons in
maska and with false noses, and he had
got so excited that he could think of
nothing else.
"Ry an unfortunate occurrence," she
added, we got into the same carriage
as you, who, for no d.onbt some good.
reason, are prolonging the Carnival.
But you see what a deplorable result
hag followed. Let me then beg of you
to have pity on a poor mother, and take
off your nose."
'ci`lBut, madam !" said. Arago, stupe -
fie .
" A. little more and m3r child will have
convulsions," shrieked the mother,
"Take off your nose." _
"But, madani," said Arago, ae.-
pair, that ia imiaosaible; this is
ilea a false nose, but my own."
Impossible! trapossible !" cried. the
agonized lads.
Touch it," said Ai -ago. 1i
The lady gave a pull at the Senator's
nose, but it did not come off in her
hand, as she expected.
A thousand. pardons," she said,
"but pray, Oh! pray, hide it with your
hat." •
So Arago continued hisjourney
with his nose in his hat, and the
child's screams gradually subsided.

wi h advantage about the face and ears •
a,. d neck, to make , every part perfectly-
cl c an. When thorpughly washed, these
pl ts should be wiped dry, with a towel
wi chiis sufficiently coarse to give an-.

a brisk manner wipe every part 'perfect-

lowed in the same manner with a flesh -
brush, as stiff as the skin can comfort-
ably bear, applying it freely to the spine
and limbs, aud,indeed, every part.
Where the brush Cannot be had, use the

A Mason's, Presence of Mind.
,
Some repairs being in progress to the
roof of a house in High street, Barn-
staple, a ladder fifty feet long was rear-
ed from the is:midway.. A mason's la-
borer named Charles Jones, when near-
ly at the top of the ladder, but not suffi-
mently sp to deposit a heavy load of
mortar an th roof, was observed by
George r."'rioss the mason, who was
waitina to take the load from hini, to
suddenly op and to be in a fainting
condition Cross immediately went
down the ladder, and. removed the load
from the faintnig man's shoulder on to
the real He then descended to the
'assistance ef 3 -Ones, whom he found in
a fit ready to fall, but this he happily
preventek by getting across him, and
holding liiin tightly by hand and leg.
Jones, ia his fit, fixed his teeth in
Cross's a.: -m, and trembled violently as
well as struggled to get free. For fifteen
minutes , the 'people below witnessed
the struggle, afraid to ascend, until an-
other brave fellow, named Wm. Rich-
ards, a diiv,er of a van, ran up the lad-
der to the !assistance of the mason. In
the xneanMme the fire -escape ladder
was broight to the spot, and in the
nick of time the police ascended; and
the leather belt belonging to the escape

to the c lla of .his woolen shirt. The
delay w s hc&tsioned by the capsizing
of the firsthoht that was lowered. ' In
1864, th ' dog saved. a baby that had
fallen through a . sewer hole in a wharf
at Catalina, N. F. He jumped. through
the hole,' and. was too large- to swim be-
tween the po ts of the- wharf, but he

held the, baby's head out of the water
and swain, briskly in every direction in

A aentlernal who is -Well known in
this city has Justi completed . an inven-
tion which 110 , justly claims to be one
. of the most imsfu1 ever discovered. It
is a water fancet, through -which., if
water is tun, i4 comes out as cold aa ice
water. Boiling water placed in any
recepta4 an allowed to rat through
will be faund as cool and delicious as
Water in whici ice has been melting
for an hour.; The faucet 'contains a
nnmber of small tubes nclosed in
larger ones, and between t e outside of
the' one and he inside of the -other
certain cheiniCals are packed, whin)i
produce the desired effect. The inven-
tor declines to give any further partic-
ulars. --S FrariCiSCO Alta.
--A French chemist is said to have
'succeeded in producing a paint with
'which t9 illuminate the numbers on
street doors at night. Figures traced
with it ski;ine!s0 as to be read even in a
dark night, and the preparation of the
coMpound is-saidto be simple,. inexpen-
eive, and not jurious.
