From the general appearance OF things
II would seem that Investment buyers are
money to take advantage OF tho low prices
at the beginning of the new year.
New York reports numerous shorts In
that market and they were very sensitive
10 any advance here.
Primary receipts were again very light,
or only about $4,000 bushels. Bradstreets
report Of an increase aHoat ana in the
worlds available was a surprise TO the
trade and tended to cause a temporary de-
preston, but there was considerable skep
ticism expressed regarding these figures,
which afterward served "a bulllsh rather
than Il bearish item.

TO that which the cotton grower pro

that his ignorance Is so dense that he Is
not only unable 10 calculate percentage.
but even to enumerate the few bales
which he has yet remaining.

The Fisherman Ducks Sad Fate.

The fisherman duck, in addition to
his liking for fish, is very fond of
oysters, and hereby hangs tale, or
rather bill. When the oyster is
feeding at high tide in that state of
calm felicity that characterizes the in-
nocent and just when at dinner, with
its mouth wide open, drinking in hap
piness like a river, without thought
of savage foe, it is the custom of the
willy fisherman duck to dive swiftly
down upon it and jab it to its tender
heart before the astonished bivalve
has time to know "where it is at,
which is in tho ducks mouth before
it can shut its own. 1t is trick
which is generally successful, but
sometimes it fails, as in the case of the
duck whose obituary we are now writ
ing. This duck, unfortunately for
himself, dived and found an oyster.
1t was only little one, but it had its
mouth wide open and looked so harm
less and innocent that the Senatorial
duck viewed it with contempt. With
great disdain he approached it, and
inserting his bill, was just upon the
point of telling the small bivalve not
to be in hurry to be eaten when
the little oyster closed its mouth with
the peculiar frmness that character
ICES meek people when you get
them started. The duck rose to the
surface and vainly tried to get rid OF
his dinner, but the little oyster was
comfortable and held on. Though a
small oyster, it wa' too heavy for the
ducks head. Before long the head
went under water, and the Senatorial
duck was drowned in his own ele-
ment and at his own game The
oyster still lives and was exhibited
Thursday in the Sun office, serene and
happy, holding firmly to the fisher
man duck, which was very dead in
deed. Baltimore Sun.

The ChangeabIe Flower of China.

The botanical oddity of the Flowery
Kingdom is the Towering tree, known
to the scientists as the Hibiscus mu-
tabilis. Its beautiful flowers, gener-
ally double, are pure snow in the
morning, bright pink at noon and of
a deep, blood red at sunset, fading
into a sky-blue by bedtime. The
leaves of this particular tree somewhat
resemble those of the grapevine, being
deeply notched, or serrated, rough
and of variable lengths. The tree is
not only native of China and Japan,
but is found in great profusion in In
dia, Corea and Siam. The "Cham-
eleon flower" $50 called on account of
its changeable colors, because not yet
scientifically identified and named),
recently discovered in the Isthmus of
Tehauntepec, is only an American
variety of Hibiscus mutabilis. In case
of the former, the colors do not pass
abruptly from one shade to another, but
change gradually from the soft white
of the morning to the pink and red of
noon and evening, and thence to the
blue of night.
The Tehauntepec tree is larger than
its Chinese relative of similar habits,
and the flowers have the pecularity of
only giving forth perfume when they
are red.
Several other species of Chinese
shrubs and trees bear flowers which
change color daily, chief of which is
the Oriental hydrangea, which changes
from bright green to deep pink. =
