NOTES OF THE M4RKETs.

Features of the markets yesterday
as shown by Cuthbert & Co.'S wires,
are:
Cotton was nervous and irregular
with sharp and frequent fluctuations
in prices, but finally steadied up and
behaved quite nationally, with closing
prices the best. The trading was less
active than on Monday
The stock market reflected the subsi-
dence of the Crete war scare in Wall
street, and returned to normal condi-
tions. AT London, Paris and Vienna
the magnates breathed easier. The
bears got in their work on Manhattan,
Western Union, Tobacco and Tennessee
Coal and Iron in the hope of checking
the improving tendency of the market,
but their efforts proved futile. The
| foreigners took about $4,000 shares,
chiefly Of st. Paul. Louisville and Nash
vile, Northern Pacific and Southern
railroad. There was also large inside

brace up the market. There was a bet
ter class of commission buying also,
and this, together with the better bust
ness outlook, helped matters.
Wheat developed weakness to-day
and sold off 1as to ia on weak foreign
markets, owing to the subsistence of
the war scare: and the continental
markets declined also. These adverse
conditions abroad offset the favorable
influence of Bradsetreets statement
showing decrease for the week in the
worlds visible supply of 2925.000 bush
els.
New York, Feb. 16.-The statement
Of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
Railroad company for the six months

| in a few days, will show at the rate of
between Az and per cent. earned on
the preferred stock, of which there is
$13,00O,000 outstanding. Ordinarily the
| first half of the fiscal year is the better

circumstances, almost as good results
are predicted by the management for

The Weak That Are Strong.
Oh, men of the strong arm and the
stout heart, what use are you making
Of your physical forces? VIII you be
able TO stand the test of that day when
we must answer for the use of every
talent, whether it were physical ener-
gy or mental acumen or a spiritual
power?
The day approaches, and I see one
who in this world was an invalid, and
as she stands before the throne of God
to answer she says: ST was sick all my
days. I had but very little strength,
but | did as we'll as I could in being
kind to those who were more sick and
more suffering" And Christ will say,
"Well done, faithful servant
And then little child will stand be-
fore the throne, and she will say: "On
earth I had a curvature of the spine,
and [ was very weak, and 1 was very
sick, but used to gather flowers out of
the wildwood and bring them to my
sick mother, and she was comforted
when She saw the sweet flowers out Of
the wildwood. I didn't do much, but [
did something And Christ shall say
as he takes her up in his arms and kiss

servant; enter thou into the joy Of thy

such a glimpse of the day for which

had and long survive that glimpse. In
the description of that day he says,
among other things:
Begin the woe, ye woods, and tell it to the
doleful winds,
And doleful winds wall to the bowling hills,
And bowling hills mourn to the dismal wales,
And dismal wales sigh to the sorrowing brooks,
And Borrowing brooks weep to the weeping
stream,
And weeping stream awake the grooming deep.
Ye heavens, great archway of the universe,

And, ocean, robe thyself in garb of widowhood
And gather all thy waves into groan and ut

Corncob Pipes and Teetee Stems.

The manufacture Of corncob pipes
has become considerable industry at
Beaufort, S. @. Special machinery has
been made for the purpose, and an ex-
pert turner is employed to carve out the
bowls, which are of many designs. The
cobs are of a particular corn grown in
the Missouri valley and are transported
to South Carolina by the carload. The
cobs have to be seasoned for two or
three years before they are used. The
supply of cane stems, which is obtained
from the canebrakes along the Port
Royal railroad in lots of 60, 900 stems,
capable of being cut into three lengths,
also employs much labor in the country
to select and gather them. A new and
attractive feature of some of these pipes
is the teetee stem.
The teetee is a shrub, the botanical
name of which is Cliftonia ligustrina
1t grows up in long, straight, point
less stem, with a soft center pith and
of various circumference, from the size
of an ordinary pipestem to that of the
little finger. 1t has enjoyed the reputa-
ton, from the aborigines and among
southern planters and others, who have
ever used it in preference to any other,
not excepting the cherry or fig stem, of
best absorbing the nicotine and afford
ing a grateful and fragrant taste. -Sa-

A Lucky Find.

A guest in Philadelphia hotel lost
a diamond stud in the waste pipe of the
bathtub the other day, according to the
Philadelphia Record. On hearing of
the loss the proprietor allowed the pipe
to be taken up at the expense of the
loser. A plumber did the job for $40,
and the guest not only recovered his
stud, but also found in the bend of the
drain pipe diamond ring. Being an
honest man, he gave the ring to the
proprietor, who advertised the find in
several newspapers. AS no one came to
claim the ring the proprietor, with an
equally commendable sense of honesty,
returned it to the finder. Needless to
say, the loser of the stud was highly
compensated for his trouble, as the ring
was valued at $3.50. The fortunate man
gave the plumber crisp $50 note ex-
ira, as the brilliant find was partly due
to that worthy.
