Our receipts at all the ports now rapidly
increased; public opinion took a strong bias
to more liberal estimates; it became evident
that the yield would exhibit considerable
excess over previous calculations, and ex-
pectations of larger supply combined
with other causes to depress trade at Man
chester, demoralize the Liverpool market
and bear down prices. Middling uplands
consequently declined to 97sd, against l0A
a l03sd at the close of December. Under
these depressing influences our own market
gave way, and by the close of the third
week prices had fallen off 80 a 5sc. The
market then rallied in sympathy with IA
vorable reaction in Liverpool, factors as
sumed more confidence, prices hardened
and the month closed at net advance of
about 1sc in good ordinary and the higher
grades, and barely lsc in ordinary, which
was depressed by the weight of excessive
supplies. Throughout the month there
were constant complaints of dusty and
sandy cottons. which could not be forced
off unless at liberal concessions from the
ruling rates for clean of the same grades
Buyers cabled to Liverpool and Havre at
what low figures these descriptions could
be picked up, but the invariable reply was
mot wanted" The quotations at the close

preceding year as follows:

POPULAR FALLACY AND DECEPTIoNs. -
1t is an infrmity of man to cling to the
teachings OF past generation, and to stub
bornly rerist the hight of reform and pro
gress Health-reform and Temperance
growth are jealously watched over by the
Poison Bitters compounders. One great
prevailing deception of the present age; is
the impression that every human biped OF
either sex must be stimulated, and the pois
oned chalice is labeled Medicated Bitters,
the better to palliate their use and prolong
the epidemic One of the most jealous
workers to cure this malady, DR.. JOSEPH
WALKER. Inventor and Proprietor of the
famed CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BrT1ERs, be-
lieves in making Bitters that are true
medicine, and advises the sick man to
swallow draught that will wash out the
Leprosy of his disease. In this faith he is
steadfast, and his VINEGAR BfTTERs,
though a contradiction to the general char
acter Of all other Bitters, are, as great
success and Life Fitalizer, evidence OF one
popular fallacy and corrected.

Robert Blgsby,

A London dispatch announces the
death of Robert Bigsby, LII. D., f. r.
s., an English writer of note. and
well-known as an antiquarian. He was
the son of Robert Bigsby, Registrar OF
Nottingham, in which city he was born
IN 1906. Originally intended for the
legal profession he was disappointed IN
the prospects OF advancement in the
law, and he devoted himself to the
study of antiquities. In 1912 he com
menced his career as an author by pub
fishing a volume OF Miscellaneous
Poems and Essays" followed in 1S4s
by the DIVISIONS of the Times of Old ;
or, The Antiquarian Enthusiast" In
these two works he treats of the early
history and associations of the ancient
town of Repton, the school of which he
had attended in his youth. For many
years he had been engaged in catherine
materials for history of Repton,
which he finally published in 1854.
Among his other works may be men
toned dramatic romance, in twelve
acts, called Ombo," historical
sketch of the slave conspiracy in
Malta during the days of the knights
of st. John Scraps from my Note
book" "Boldon Delaval," "Mv
Cousins Story" {" The Delaval Core

which are little known in this country.
but which brought their author repu-
tation at home. DIR. Bigsby became
the possessor of several articles which
had belonged to Sir Francis Drake.
the celebrated navigator of the time
OF Queen Elizabeth. Among these was
the astrolobe which Sir Francis had
used In his voyages. This DIR. Bigsby
presented to King William IVA who
placed it in Greenwich Hospital Other
relics of the old seaman were presented
to the British Museum by DR.. Bigsby.
The diploma of LII. j. possessed bv
the subject of this sketch was conferred
because of his merits as a writer. His
name was on the civil list for a literary
annual pension of 500, and, in addition
to being Secretary and Registrar of
the English branch of the Order of st.
John, he was an honorary and CORE.
spending member of several literary
societies of foreign countries.

TRANSMISSION of Blood.

A successful case of immediate transfu
sion Of blood by DR.. Albini, of Naples, is
related by DIR. MacEwen in the last number
of the Glasgow Medical Journal The
TRANSMISSION was from the carotid artery of
a lamb into the veins of a lady exhausted
by homorrhage. A gum-elastic tube about
half metre in length was inserted into the
artery of the lamb, and placed in commu-
nication with the vein opened in the arm
of the patient. At the extremity of SINH
lar tube two tubes of glass were joined in
such manner as to remain fixed on one
side of the exposed and incised artery of
the lamb, and on the other to the denuded
vein of the lady, into which the transfused
b God flowed. DR.. Albini renounces hence
forth the usual yringe, perferring to use
the natural pump, the heart of the animal
itself, which, with vigorous contractions,
is able TO impel liberal supply. of blood
into the arm of patient.

Statue of Lord Nelson

A colossal statue in concrete (simila1
to the betony In use in France) ha.
Just been unveiled in England with
considerable ceremony, at the countr,
seat of Lord Clarence Paget. 1t is :
presentment of Lord Nelson, nineteen
feet high, weighs more than twelve
tons, and is intended to serve as a land
mark to mariners navigating Swilly
Channel. A square tower, thirteen
feet high, has been Quilt on a promon-
tory commanding an extensive view up
and down the Mental Straits, and the
tower has been surmounted by a
pedestal nine feet high, on which the
statue is placed. The total height
from the ground is thus far forty two
feet. The statue is of limestone and
Portland cement, and one of the OBJ.
lects in view has been to show that
public parks can be decorated with
statues little inferior to marble in APP
pearance, aud probably more durable,
at tenth OF the cost of marble statues.

New Bird Oi Paradise.

Signor d'Albertis has found new biro
of paradise at Atam, in New Guinea, "a place
situated at an elevation of about three
thousand five hundred feet above the sea
level, in the Arfak mountains. The pecu-
liraity of this bird consists in the forma
ton of the bill and the softness of the
plumage. The feathers that arise from the
base OF the bill are of metallic green and
of reddish copper color the feathers of
the breast, when laid quite smooth, are of a
violet grey, but when raised form a semi
circle round the body, rejecting a deep
golden color. Other violet-grey feathers
arise from the TANKS, edged with metallic
violet tint; but when the plumage is entire
ly expanded the.bi appears as if it had
formed two semi-circles around itself, and
is certainly very handsome bird. Above
the tail and wings the feathers are yellow
ISL underneath they are of darker shade.

The report this year shows a shock

OF accidents, many of which are ex-
ceptionally serious. The freshets Of
the month might account for some in
crease, especially in the slghter acct

dents attracted so general attention to
the subject that such casualties were
more fully reported in the newspapers :;
but this cannot account for the enor-

the direct fruit of clear disobedience
