TYPES or COTTON.

The Exchange Not Likely TO Adopt
the New York Standard.
The Cotton Exchange received yester-
day from the New York Exchange types
OF the different grades OF cotton, classed
as the American standard. 1t is said by
some that the savannah Exchange will
not adopt them, as they seem TO be very
unsatisfactory 30 many OF the members.
They are Of Texas cotton and based on
that style OF cotton, which is altogether
different from Georgia upland cotton, and,
therefore, not suitable as types. In the
lower grades the quality is even lower
than Georgia uplands Of those grades,
while In the better grades the types are
exactly the reverse, making a great dIf-
ference between the grades.

Their Infinite Variety.

Cleopatra was not the only person
whose infinite variety custom could not
stale, says the New York World. There
are several of them. A late feminine
freak has the merit of heing strictly
novel and deliciouslv absurd. There is
a young English miniature painter in
this city who has gained great reputa-
ton among fashionable women, not for
making their charming faces immortal
upon ivory; not for sending them down
as precious heirlooms of loneliness to
admiring great grandchildren, who
will believe in the rose bloom of their
pictured skins and wonder at their
quaint coiffures and picturesque gowns.
He produces them piecemeal. In his
studio are ovals of ivory upon which is
a mass of crinkled auburn hair, for eX-
ample, or a Cupid's bow of mouth of
smooth scarlet loneliness, or a satiny,
crumpled pink ear, and best and most
beautiful of all, eyes of hue, shape, and
expression. These are not combined,
but are separate pictures. A woman
who has some exquisite feature goes to
him and has it preserved for her lover
or her husband. Eyes are the favorite,
however, and among those of we'll
known women he has in his collection
is that of Nine. Barrios, The widow of
the late president of Guatemala. They
do not have the pair painted even, but
just the one melting eye with the fringes
surrounding it and the arch above.
Mime. Barrios' eye is large, almond
shaped and of velvety blackness, with a
thick fringe of lashes and brow as
clear and fine as if drawn with pen.
1t must be new and peculiar sensa-
ton to a lover to have upon his breast
the abundant locks of the woman he
loves, or to husband to know that his
wife's eye is upon HMM his locket.
In the future, fair at-granddaughters
will show to their friends great-grand-
mammals lovely ear, or prove to visitors
that they inherit greataunt Maud's
mouth exactly.

them with a small unmuzzled ferret and
shot them as they ran. Their great
failing is their curiosity, and, long after

But l sat and pondcred what it might mean
Thus to be deal while the world went by.
Did Jones see further than we have seen?
Was he one with the stars in the watching
Or down there under the growing grass
Did be hear the feet of the daylight pass?
Were daytime and nighttime as one to him
And grieving and hoping tale that is told?
a kiss on his lips or hand on his brow.
Could he feel them under the churchyard
AS he surely had felt them his whole life long,
Though they passed with his youth-time, hot
and strong?
They called him "Old Jones' when at last he
died
''Old Jones" he had been for many year;
Yet his faithful memory time dched,
And dwelt in the days so distant and dear,
When first he had found thar love was sweet,
And rocked not the speed OF its hunying feet.
Does be brood in the long night under the sod
On the joys and sorrows he used TO know;
Or far III some wonderful word of God
Where the shining seraphs stand, row on
row.
Does he wake like child at The daylight's
CLEAN,
And know that the past was a short nights
dream.

Or dead and wiser than any alive;

Vegetables Taking the Place of Birds In
the Trimming of Hats.
The small birds now will be given
rest and the insects will no longer be
left TO increase so disastrously to the
crops and fruit trees; for the fashion
has changed, and the bodies and wings
of bright-colored bipeds are no longer
"the style" for the trimming of ladies'
head-dresses and hats. This is pleasing
news which the late fashion notes
bring from the capital. In place of
birds and parts of the little useful Great
ures, heretofore slain by millions to
please barbarous taste savoring more
of wild Indians then refined persons,
the new fashion has adopted the fruits
and vegetables of the garden. which
will make a well-dressed lady appear
much like peddler loaded upon her
head with lunches of radishes, strings
of onions, garlands of tomatoes,
wreaths of turnips and potatoes, sprigs
of beans and peas and heads of cab
bages. 1t is vast improvement, and
| If the trimmings are only real and not
artificial will amazingly help the in
dustrious and honest farmers and mar
ket gardeners. A lady can then turn
her daily supply of marketing into a
means of fashionable adornment by
carrying it home upon her head. N
