NEW YORK, August 30 The Posts cotton

party having disposed OF a considerable
quantity for export counted on a sharp ad-
vance this month, but the position OF the
bears holding so much actual cotton, which
they are likely partly to deliver on their
contracts, prevent the expected upward
movement. However, leading bears pre-
dict a sharp advance in September after

A Romantic Story.

Twenty years ago, q prominent physi-
clan was called to attend the deathbed
of an old Mexican. The doctor remain
ed faithfully at his side until he drew
his last breath, and just before he died
the old Mexican said: doctor, may
God reward you for your kindness to
me. l have no money to give you, but
l can tell you secret, known to me
only, which may sometime prove valu-
able to YOU" In faint voice he told
how he became possessed of the know
ledge of the exact locality of one of the
lost mines in Mexico, which had not
been worked for more than century,
and he gave the physician the maps
showing the situation, which he had
been carrying about with him, being too
poor himself to use the knowledge for
his own advantage, but always hoping
to find some one to buy his valuable
secret. The physician thought little of
the matter at the time, or until many
years afterward. Within a year he has
been there with partner and bought
the land where his maps said the mine
would be found without disclosing why
he wanted that tract. The mine was
found, has been successfully worked,
and has proved one of the richest mines
in Mexico.

Not to be Outdone.

No one person is expected to know
everything, yet many persons fall into
blunders and are laughed at, because
they have not the courage to say, II
don't know A young Japanese Of
high rank, sent to the United States to
be educated, was very unwilling to ad-
nit, that all was new to him in this
country. He took great care never to
express surprise, and to gain information
in some other way than by asking direct
questions.
Being guest, one day, at gentle
mans table, he so far forgot himself as
to express his relish for the mince pie.
Every nice pie,'' he said, bowling and
smiling at his hostess. ''What's its
''We call this tmince pie.' I'm glad
you like it. Do you have mince pie in
Japan?" asked the lady.
''Oh yes, thank you; mince pie in my
county," he replied.
''Of what do they make them there?''
asked the lady.
A gentleman of his rank need not
have blushed to say, II do not know"
but he felt bound to keep up the honor
of Japan so far as it rested on mince
pies! Again tasting the pie slowly and
with the air of a critic, his face bright
ened as he said,-
''In Japan mince pies are made of
pears and fish.

YES, Sir. I'd Shoot Him.

Six or eight congenial spirits sat
around stove in Grand River gro
cery the other night and after several
other subjects had been exhausted some
one introduced that of panics in church,
es, theatres and halls. This gave Mr..
Hopewen chance to remark:
Gentlemen, I just long to be there. :"
'.Where?''
'Why, in one of those panics. Yes,
sir, Ia give new twenty dollar bill to
be in the theatre one night when there
was an occasion for a panic.'
z "Why?''
''Why, because one cool, level headed
man could stop the thing as easily as
you could end up that barrel of -four"
''Wel. / dunno about that" observed
one of the sitters. '"There is something
awful in the cry of fire, and hear It
where and when you may it startles and
frightens. What would you do in a
theater in case there was cry of fire
and a rush!''
I'D stand upon my seat, pull revol-
yer from my pocket, and shout out that
Ia shoot the first man who attempted
to crawl or rush. One cool man would
check the panic in ten seconds
While the subject was being continu-
ed the grocer withdrew to the rear end
OF the store, poured little powder on a
board, and gave three or four men the
wink. Directly there was bright flash,
yells of :'fre?' and :.powder"' and ev-
cry man sprang up and rushed. Hope
well didn't spring up and talk of shoot
ing. On the contrary, he fell over lol
OF baskets piled between him and the
door, got up to plow his way over a
rack of brooms, and when he reached
the sidewalk he was on au-fours, white
as ghost, and so frightened that he

Performance Of a Somnambulist,

A curious psychological study is at
forded by the case Of young lad of
fourteen years, whose performances
when asleep are certainly marvellous.
The lads name is Martin Frobischer,
and it is said of him that from his ear
lest boyhood he has been the subject of
somnambulism. He has decided tall
ent for drawing, in which art he has
lately become quite interested This
exercise has taken such hold upon the
boys mind that he rises in the night in
completely unconscious state, and will
continue to work on an unfinished piece
Of drawing with as much skill and dex-
terity as though he were awake. The
other night he got up and drew head
from cast which he had drawn on pa
per during the previous day, on the wall
of his chamber. In conversation with
the boys father, the latter said, II can
understand how somnambulistic SUBJ
ject can 60 through certain mechanical
motions, but it is inconceivable to me
how the boy is able to draw with such
perfect attention to every detail-to put
expression into an eye, for instance, and
spirit into face" He exhibited some
very clever drawings by the boy, par
tally done, as he declared, while the
little fellow was in this remarkable con-
dition. He is very desirous that the
case should have the light of scientific

Keep the Best Sheep.

The flock owner who would constant
ly. advance the standard of his flock,
must adhere to the selfish rule of look
ing out for him. He must weed out the
least desirable animals, for the sham
bles or for sale to who choose to buy,
and keep the best results of his breed
ing and purchases. Where his sur
roundings are such as to limit the num-
Der of animals that can be proftablv
handled, but a few years need elapse be-
fore comparatively high standard can
be attained, and this still further ad-
yanced by rigid wedding out of less
desirable members of the flock, and
holding on to the best in spite of the
temptations of long prices for parting
with them. Many of the most success
full breeders make it rule to Gull out
and sell certain number of sheep each
year, supplying their places from a
choice of lambs. This not only adds to
the flock the latest results of breeding,
but also serves to keep it's number good
from young animals, competent to with
stand such accidental hardships as may
overtake them, and from which may
reasonably be expected the best re-
sponse to liberal feeding and intelligent
manipulation.
The man who permits his flock to be
''picked" d"-be the price received ever SO
tempting-but lends swiftness to his
competitor, which will be turned against
himself in subsequent races for supreme
sacy as breeder. The man who thus
invites himself to a secondary place on
the list of breeders, need not affect sur
prise when the better foresight and
stronger nerve of his neighbors place
him still lower in the category of those
who secure success by deserving it.

WHOLE NUMBER 21S
CAUGHT

Science in modern times has utilized
some terrible agencies. But with these
new discoveries come new risks. The
multiplied uses of electricity are strik-
ing example Of this. With its trains
laid so near human life, fresh inventions
OF self-protection are called for. Only
the other day we read of house set on
1lre by the over-heated wires of an cleo
trio apparatus. The insulating substance
had partially worn off the wires. Recent
Paris journals mention an exciting Incl
dent connected with the handling of a
powerful apparatus for producing the
electric light, at the Electric Exhibition:
A gentleman was nearly killed by
Brush dynamo-electric machine Part
OF the conducting wire was not insulated
and was lying on the floor He touched
the stand of lamp which formed part
OF the conducting system. His body
then formed a connection through the
ground to the naked wire, and the cur
rent OF electricity passing through him
contracted his muscles so as to cause
his hands to clinch the lamp.
Ten lamps were in circuit at the time.
and SO much Of the current was passed
through him that eight of them were
extinguished. He was powerless to un-
clasp his hand. Every muscle in his
body was paralyzed. His face was dis
torted; his lungs were so acted upon
that he could scarcely breathe. He
could only utter faint and unnatural
cry.
The workmen in the place fed from
the workshop, believing that some ex-
plosion was about to happen. A friend
came up and tried to unlock his hand.
1t was impossible.
He then lifted his legs from the ground.
This broke the circuit and his hands
were released, while burning sparks few
to his hands in the action of breaking
the circuit,
He was insensible, but has since recov--
cred, and has devised an improvement
on the lamp which will prevent a recur-
renee of such an accident.

Utilizing Rough Ground.

On many farms there are portions of
land that cannot be plowed without
great difficulty on account of ravines or
stones. They may be seeded to grass
and used for pasturage, but it is hard to
cut the grass that grows on them. This
broken land may generally be utilized
to excellent advantage by planting it to
crops that require considerable room.
Grapes do well on rocky and broken
land, if sufficient pains be taken to pre-
pare the places where the vines are to
stand. Quite large hole should be
excavated and partially filed with man.
ure and loose earth. A rocky soil is
ordinarily warm and well drained by
the spaces between the stones. Many
of the best vineyards in Europe are
located on land SO broken and rocky
that it cannot be made to produce pay
ing crops of grain, grass, or potatoes.
Tomatoes can also be proftably raised
on broken land. The vines require con-
siderable space in which to spread their
branches. There is some trouble in
preparing the hills, but the warm loca-
ton and good drainage will generally
insure large crops that ripen early in
the season. Pumpkins, melons and
squashes may be planted on broken and
rocky land to most excellent advantage.
AS the hills should be about ten feet
apart, but little difficulty will be found
in making them. Excavations can be
made with the spade or pick if necessary,
and nearly filled with suitable manure
and fine earth. The large space between
the hills will require little attention ex-
cept to remove the weeds, which will
not be very troublesome in poor soil:
If a farmer has large tracts Of broken
and rocky land he can scarcely do better
than to plant it to forest trees, giving a
preference to those that will produce

Protecting Game.
Some citizens of Chicago have char
tered society simular to one which
now exists in New York for ssthe pro-
lection of game and fish, We are glad
to find this sentiment extending to the
West. Our people have dealt with the
fish and game supplies of these rich and
wide countries in a reckless manner.
The buffalo, which twenty years ago
was valuable supply of food, existing
in countless millions, has been extin-
guished. A few struggling herds have
escaped into the northern wilds. The
hunters report that game which few
years ago was plentiful in the prairies
and the mountains of Colorado is be-
coming scarce. There has been no ef-
fort to observe the laws of growth, the
customs and habits of the animals, to
respect their seasons of reproduction.
They have been shot for the mere pleas
IRE of Staying. So with fish. The his
tory of civilized countries shows that
where Providence has endowed nations
with rich, nutritious supplies Of food
fish, the terrapin, oyster and lobster
people have wantonly sacrificed what
would have been, with due care, an en-
during supply of food. In France and
England the oyster supplies which fifty
years ago were as plentiful as in Amer
ica, have been SO trespassed upon that
the oyster is now a luxury. The same
may be said of the terrapin in Chesa-
peake Bay. In few years it will be
true Of the canvasback duck if it is not
partially true now. An effort has been
made to preserve the terrapin, and ter
rapin culture is in many places an in
teresting and growing industry. Unless
we watch the oyster beds around New
York but few years must pass before
they will be extinct. A great deal has
been done by our people in the way of
preserving game and fish by due pro-
cess of law, and public opinion tends
strongly in that direction. In the West
a reform was needed, and we are glad
to see our Chicago friends take the mat
ter in hand.-NeeU York Herald.

Mistaken,

Mistakes will occur in the best-regula-
ted families, but we doubt if a more
ludicrous one ever happened in any
home than that which the San Francisco
Alta reports. The editor says that in
small village across the bay reside a
well-known clergyman and his family.
One of his sons who was just approach
ing manhood, has been in the habit
since infancy Of walking in his sleep.
Every effort has been made to break
him of his somnambulistic tendencies,
but without avail. A short time ago it
was decided by the head of the house
that the somnambulist should occupy
the same couch with his elder brother,
and the latter was instructed, in case
the boy attempted to walk in his sleep,
to administer punishment by an appi
cation of the sole of his slipper.
One night short time ago, the father
imagined he heard disturbance in the
chicken-yard at the rear of the house,
and, fearing that his hen-roost might be
robbed, entered the room where the
boys were sleeping, and, opening the
window, looked out into the darkness to
ascertain whether his apprehensions
were correct.
The elder son thought the figure at
the window was that Of his brother, and
leaping from his couch, seized the ever
ready slipper, and administered a severe
castigation upon the form in undress at
the window.
Before the astonished father could
turn, he had received some four or five
heavy and singing blows, and was so
surprised and astonished that for few
moments he could hardly speak word.
The son, when he realised the situation,
was almost paralyzed, and the scene
was ridiculous in the extreme. When
the circumstances were explained, how
ever, the clergyman fully appreciated
the joke.
