An cbsent-minded gentleman was going along the street on a very windy day, when suddenly his hat blew off. He few along the street, and after a long chase picked up what he supposed w his hat. An- other bareheaded gentieman arrived on the spot at the same moment, and, holding out his hand, said “Thank you.’ “What do you mean?” absent-minded man. “Thank you for hat.” “But this is not your hat.” b cuse me, it is.” ““Where’s mine, then?” “Hanging down your back.” Then he remarked that he had secured his own by a hat-guard that morning asked the capturing my Cotton Pickers. There are machines that will pick the ripened cotton from the plant, but it can hardly be said that, all things considered, there is as yet a “successful” practical cotton-picker. The machine is still in the expert- mental stage, and there are plenty of cotton raisers who are firmly of the opinion that there will never be any all-round successful cotton-picking machine but the human hand. If the cotton crop opened all at once, would be an easy one. Significance of Decorations.

Prof. Blau of Germany has dis- covered a new process of developing illuminating gas that may be bought by the bottle at the rate of 15 cents a pound. A 22-pound cylinder at 15 cents a pound would give a 50-can- dle power light for four months used four hours a day. That is to say, the cost would be 1 1-7 cents an hour or, say, $1.25 a month, or even less.—Brooklyn Eagle. Future for eee: Aa Egyptian paper says that the na- ' tive families pay an average tax of $4.65 an acre, 28.5 per cent. of the crop. Foreigners and land companies ; hold 655,000 acres. Through their in- | solvency and liquidation, and the re- distribution of the estates formed since 1902, it is probable that large amounts of gold may be unhoarded. What, Indeed?
