BIG SLUMP IN THE COTTON MARKET



New York, Oct. 19.-The cotton mar
ket opened here in a demoralized con-
dition. Unlimited selling orders were at
hand. The first sales were made Is TO
IL points below last nights closing. Be-
fore the end of the session quotations
were "a points below yesterdays hi sh-
est and "a to rs below last nights fig
ures. Transactions for the day foot up
the unusual total of 287,200 bales. The
direct cause of the break was the drop
at Liverpool, caused by the report at
New Orleans that the October corner
had collapsed.
At New Orleans a drop of 80 points
was reported and at the close the total
loss was so points from last nights
closing and so below yesterdays high
est. The visible supply of cotton is
larger than last years supply by 1877
O70 bales. The visible supply of Ameri
can cotton is 265,970 bales larger than
last years.

TRIAL OF ITALIAN COMMENTATORS
Strong Evidence Against n Dangerous
Gang III New York.

uhnS III Nc" I OAh
New York, Oct. 19.--No new facts
were developed at the preliminary ex-
animation before United States Com
missioner Alexander this afternoon OF
the five Italians arrested a fortnight
ago upon the charge Of selling and hav-
ing in their possession number OF
counterfeit standard silver dollars and
silver certificates of the denomination
of IS of the issue of 1886
The evidence already collected
against the prisoners is, however,
thought to be sufficient to insure their
conviction. For months the Italian
and Hebrew quarters of the city have
been flooded with spurious coin and
bills, both being of excellent work
manship. Tt was many months before
the origin of the queer could be de-
tected but as the result of persistent
effort on the part of the United States
authorities, the guilty men were run
down.

UNDER THE SPOUT.
A Strange Indian Mcthoi of Putting Lit
 tie Ones to Sleep.

Sir George Campbell records in his Indian Memoirs a very strange habit of native mothers in the neighborhood of Simia. lie seems inclined to recom- mend it5 adoption in England, but per haps he is speaking in jest.
 1 wonder not to have seen more no- tice or the curious practice of the hill women Of pI5tiny their babies heads under a spout of va ter to send them to sleep and keep them quiet. When the new cartroal was first made. there was village ct halting-placc where rows of such children might be seen in a grove close to the road.
 The water of hill spring was so ad- justed as to furnish a series of little spouts, each about the thickness of one's little finger. Opposite each spout was kind of earth pillow, and little trough to carry away the water. Each child was So laid that one of the water-spoutS played on the top of it's head, and the water then ran off into the trough.
 l can testify that the process was most successful. There never were such quiet and untroublesolne babies as those under the spouts. The people were unanimous in asserting that the water did the children no harm, but on the contrary, benefited and invig- orated them. In fact, they seemed to think that Q child not subjected to this process must grow up soft-brained and good-for-nothing
 Certainly their appearance showed no signs that this singular method of bracing the intellectual pert of their bodies had done them any harm.

FACTS ABOUT JUPITER.
Wonderful Figures Fail to Express Enough
 Concerning the Great Planet.

Our most eminent astronomers dc not pretend to give uS exact reckon ings on the great floating worlds out side of our own solar system, but with in that monstrous aggregation every thing has been reduced to certainty. The kingpin of the solar system is Jupiter, mighty Jupiter, the colossal giant of all the sun-kissed worlds. :" His diameter is about SS.000 of our miles. being about eleven times that of our own globe; the circumference 275.0G0 miles at the equator, which would give the giant volume exceed. ing that of the earth by 1,2S4 times. Were it possible to bring the earth and Jupiter so close together that the dis tancc separating them would be no greater than that which now separates the earth from the mOOn-about 240,- 900 miles-what wondrous sight would be in store for the residents of our lit tie globe. The world of Jupiter would appear to us to have diameter forty times larger than that of our usual mighty attendant, and the surface of his disk would occupy a space greater than that of 1,6G0 full moons. And this giant of the planets is re- moved from tho sun by distance of 496, GOO, ,0J0 miles: has an orbit of more than 1000, OOG, 600 miles in extent, and makes circuit of its celestial track once every 4,SG3 days. Thus it will be seen that year on Jupiter is equal to eleven years, ten months and seven teen days on our globe. The immensi- ty of the world of Jupiter and it's orbit may be approximately measured by this comparison: In order to complete its orbit in the time given above, it must speed around the sun with ve locity of 100000 miles a day, or l little more than eight miles per second.

Common to Nearly All Civilized Countries
 Issues in Various Nations.
 Almost, if not quite, all civilized countries use paper money to faci,;tatf payments within their own jur;sdic tions, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo crat The United States uses papc, money to greater extent than any other country, and in notes Of smaller denomination than any other country of equal importance. All of our paper bills except the gold certificates are ir the denominations of S1, g., s, &10, S2O $50. Si00, $500 and S1 ,090; our gold cer. tificatcs do not appear in dcnonina tionS less than S30. The Dominion oi Canada issues S1 and g. notes, anG various banks issue notes varying from s to S1,00). Mexico issues paper money of 10 pesos and upward and the South American states issue paper oJ similar denominations. The Bank oi England issues all English notes in de nominations of E5, e10, g20. $50. &lO0 e200, e300, e500 and G1,00G. The banks of Scotland and Ireland issue notes o1 q and upward.

BONNETS AND CIGARS.
Sure Relief for the Man Whose Wife Buys
 Cigars for Him.

When lovely woman Stoops to folly and sets out to buy her husbands cigars for him one of two things is reasonably sure to happen. says the New York Press. If the unfortunate head of the household is of choleric temperament he uses language and pitches the offending weeds out of the window. This naturally gives pain tC their innocent purchaser and is OK, tremely likely to bring about a family hurricane, with q plentiful shower oi tears. If the victim of his wife's good intentions is suayc and diplomat he says nothing, but adroitly substitutes a box of cigars of his own choosing fo1 the gift which vas meant to add to the comforts of home, and generously pre- SentS the first box to the Italian boot black around the corner. This is un- doubtedly the better method of the two, but it has the serious disadvan- tage of encouraging the misguided wife to repeat the experiment. which apparently worked 60 well. This is apt to be trying to the patience even of a patient husband. Besides it is very hard on the bootblack.
 Assuredly some method should be adopted to prevent occurrences so re- grettablc. Since argument in such cases would in all human probability be utterly useless, we venture to sug gest another remedy. When a mans wife inflicts on him the gift of box of cigars let him accept them snilingly, remembering the bootblack around the corner. Then let him reciprocatc by going ont and purchasing his wife bonnet approved solely by his own masculine judgment. The cure may seem q trine expensive, but it will work. The woman does not exist who would not take the hint. For the bon net chosen by man without reference to his wife's tastes is certain to be as acceptable as the cigars which the wife buys for her husband.

COST OF CUP RACES.
Lord Dunraven Has Spant Fortune Try.
 ing to Beat the YiSilant.

Yachting costs a great deal of money, especially such yachting as is indulged in to capture and defend the America's cup. remarks the New York Tribune. \ friend of Lord Dunraven said recently that the earl told him that the total cost to him to build, equip and run the Nalllyric, together with his travelling expenses to win the America $ cup, would be fully one hun dred and fifty thousand dollars. The syndicate which built the Vigilant subscribed one hundred thousand dol lars originally, and has been called upon for an assessment besides, so that the total outlay upon the cup de- fender is not far from the amount eX pended on the Valkyric. Add to these sums the money which the Jubilee, Colonia and Pilgrim cost their owners, and the total cost Of the latest strug- gle for the America's cup amounts to almost five hundred thousand dollars
 The honor of holding the Americas $ cup, however, cannot be reckoned by dollars and cents, and American yacht men would not have been willing to part with the trophy at any cost. The practical benefit to boat building and the pleasure and profit to be derived from pure and manly sport must be added to the credit account

VARIATIONS IN LITERATURE.
Present Day Literary limitations of Musical ,
 Compositions Common Years Ago.

Present Day Literary limitations of Musical
 Compositions Common Years Ago.
 Some twenty-five years ago there was style of musical composition much in vogue known as variations" says a writer in the Atlantic Monthly. It ap- peared in dozen page sheets entitled Home, Sweet Iiomc-with variatiOns;' Coming Through the Rye-with varia- tions;" ''Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother" (also with variations). The distinctive plan of these compositions and. whatever their individual char acteristic, they were, as whole, with out variation-consisted, first, in a brace or tyvo of banging prelude. close ly followed by simple little air that somebody else had written. This definitely announced the theme to be ''variated," which was next heard be- hind a thin screen of artfully arranged arpeggios. Then it donned a deep dis. guise in the bass, to become barely recognizable in the treble with trills, ditto in bass, in the treble with runs, ditto in bass, and finally lost itself in a company of crashing chords so over. towering that one could not be certain whether the original air had beer Coming Through the Rye or "Let Me Kiss Him for His Mother
 A similar sort of treatment has now invaded the art of letters; that is tC say, it has affected the entire twenty. six, as we'll as the select seven to be found upon the piano keyboard. It doesn't nowadays satisfy a writer tc say, merely: ''One summer morning fine and early, was walking through the woods" He immediately goes on (taking the word early as his key note): ''The sun had not been long above the horizon and the air was yet fragrant with last nights dew" Then, with fine" and summer as texts, he tells us: Everywhere were the green and luXuriant footprints of light-step. ping summer" Starting next from CD "I," @ walking and @ woods, g he informs us: "As my feet pressed the soft moss faint forest odors filled the air, the crackle of a dry stick was heard and startled gray squirrel scampered up the giant oak on my left" Da capo: "On such a glorious morning was glad simply to be alive, as were we all-young-rlscn sun, trees, flowers, moss and little gray squirrel"
 And so, diluting and further diluting an idea, it is hard to tell just what degree of strength it may originally have possessed. The strength of the writer, it is, however, more easy to de- terminc

 peror.
 Careful inquiry has jed to the discov. cry that there are no fewer than nine of Napoleon I. hats still in existence. A writer in The Vie ContcmpOraine gives list Of them. One is in the pos session of Mime. Claittc, whose grand father, Gen. Giraud, picked it up at Marcngo. At q critical moment Bona parte started off at gallop. and the wind blowing off his hat he did not stop to pick it up.
 Another of the hats, says the London Daily News, is in little crypt beside NapOleon's tomb at the Invalides. This was worn on the 7th, Sth and 9th of February, 1907, at Eylau, and it is the identical one represented in the colossal picture of the battle by Gros, to be seen in the Louvre. During the peace which succeeded the battle Grog was commissioned to paint the picture, and in order that the figure of the em- peror might be faithfully depicted the hat was given to the painter.
 At the death of GrOs in 1885 it was found under q glass case upon wooden stand, and it was sold by auc- tion among the painters effects for two thousand and forty-seven francs fifty centimes to Dr. Delacroix, who presented it to Louis Philippe. The latter. after the famous second funeral of Napoleon. ordered it to be placed be- side the remains with the emperor's crosses and the sword he wore at Aus terlitz. Of the remaining hats, ono belongs to Prince Victor Napoleon and another to the museum at Gotha.

Interesting relies of dead and gone Indian tribes are the great mounds of oyster shells formed along the seashorc in southern Delaware. According to local tradition, the NanticolIes of Pennsylvania were in the habit of win tering along the scashore in lower Delaware and of eating numerous quantities of oystcrs. The shells tes- tify 60 the appetites of the Nanticokcs, and many Indian implements are found n the mounds.
