NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-The cotton
market had the advantage of better
cables than had been looked, for and
opened at an advance of 2U3 points.
These figures were the top notch for
the day. There was plenty of talk OF
light receipts from private sources, but
the Chronicles statement to the effect
that bad weather had interfered with
the movement during the past week
caused active selling and the market
broke 9@10 points and closed easy at
the lowest figure. There was some
fear of political difficulties abroad,an
sellers were numerous. There is some
belief that receipts during the week
will show a large increase.
Spot quotations were marked off

DO Not sleep on One Len Side.

There is little doubt that an immense
number Of persons habitually sleep on
the left side, and those who do SO can
never, it is said, be strictly healthy. 1t
is the most prolific cause Of nightmare,
and also of the unpleasant taste in the
mouth on arising in the morning. All
food enters and leaves the stomach on
the right side, and hence sleeping on the
left side soon after eating involves a sort
of pumping operation which is any
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action Of the heart is also seriously
interfered with and the lungs unduly
compressed. Hence it is best to cultivate
the habit Of always sleeping on the right
side, although Sandow and other strong
men are said to invariably sleep Oh their
backs. s.-Philadelphia Times.

Some wonders In Eggs.

A chicken raiser near Rofel, Ia, is the
owner of Plymouth Rock hen that is q
genuine freak in her way. For weeks al
a time she will regularly lay eggs without
the least semblance of a covering in ths
shape of shell, but with white and
yolk Of such firm and unyielding texture
as to stand without hattening, as in The
ordinary skinny" egg. These eggs arC
as hard as the average "hard boiled and
may be cut in two without danger Of spill
ing the contents of the leathery membrane
which forms the covering. That the above
is tout of the ordinary all win admit
but it is only half of the queer story that
is told concerning this feathered monstros
ity. After laying a number of these curl
Gus shell-less eggs period of from week
to ten days will elapse in which there is a
total cessation Of the egg business as fal
as this one hen is concerned, and then the
real wonder egg is deposited. This egg
is just the opposite to those mentioned
above, being entirely composed of shell
material and Of about the same specific
gravity as an equal bulk Of common chalk.
Six of these wonderful eggs were sawed
asunder SO as to show their composition.
The Rolfc man has been offered 500 apiece
for each of these six solid eggs, but has sc
far refused to part with a single specimen.

CIGARETTES AND THE TEETH.
A Dentist Says the Nerves In Them Are

a Dentist says the Nerves In Them Are
Killed by Nicotine Poisoning.
'There is one bad result Of constant
cigarette smoking that very few people
know anything about" said Brooklyn
dentist. "The result itself has been ap-
parent to me and to all dentists for a
long time, but the cause has been mys-
terry until very recently. For years the
nerves Of teeth in every other way per-
feet have been found dead A careful
examination of a dead nerve found in
an unexposed tooth recently revealed the
fact that it had been poisoned by nico-
tine, and thereby the mystery referred
to was solved. Nicotine poisoning from
cigarette smoking is killing the nerves
in the teeth of smokers. 1t is a most
serious state Of affairs, although most
people will not understand. They think
a dead tooth is as good as a live one.
They will find their mistake some day.
"A young woman whom have known
for some time came here the other day
and wanted tooth attended to. l
worked on the tooth some time, and
some of the instruments used should
have made her scream little bit But
she never made a sound, and I naturally
concluded that the nerve of the tooth
was dead. 1t surprised me because the
tooth was a good one and the nerve un-
exposed. Well, extracted the nerve,
and the minute saw it knew what
was the trouble.
:" DO you want live nerve left in
your head?' asked.
Why, of course, she replied.
Then stop smoking cigarettes,
said
Why, doctor, what do you mean?'
she began. Then she put on a great
show of indignation.
Ny dear young lady, l said,
what's the use Of talking SO? I'm a
dental surgeon and know thing when
| see it. You have been smoking ciga-
rettes for long time, and my advice
was given in perfectly friendly spirit
Well, she collapsed then, acknowledged
the truth of what | had said. and that
ended it. don't think that cigarette
smokers figure this result of nicotine
poisoning in with the many other in
furious effects of the weed, but to my
mind it is the most dangerous Of all I"

An instructive and beautiful story is
related Of little girl, who was playing
near the edge Of a precipice, when she
suddenly felt the ground give way be-
meath her feet Before she had time to
spring back to place Of safety she had
slipped over the brow Of the abyss
With the instinct Of despair, that love
Of life implanted in rs all, she snatched
at the grass and tall weeds within her
reach. Her little fingers dug deep into
the ground and staid her downward
course. There she hung, suspended in
the air.
Moments seemed ages until she heard
voice, which sounded very far off, say
ing in firm, encouraging tone: II am
coming Keep looking upr' Instructive
ly she obeyed. She never glanced down
ward, but elung faster to her only
chance Of safety. Again the voice, this
time nearer, spoke hopefully: II am
comingl Keep looking upl'' In another
moment two strong hands had seized
her own in a firm clasp, and she felt
herself drawn gently and cautiously up
ward. Then she was lifted into great,
loving arms and closed her eyes upon
her fathers breast. Children, "keep

row of gray fur set ON in Greek key
pattern all around it, and there is a snug
basque with positions in the back.
There are three capes, each removable
and all bordered with the fur The
sleeves are snug up to the elbow. The
toque is Of ruby velvet, with fur roll
around the crown, and the tails stand
