REVISION OF COTTON GRADES.
New Schedule of Differences Fixed
by the New York Cotton Exchange.

New Schedule of Differences Fixed
by the New York Cotton Exchange.
A new grading of cotton has been estab-
lshed by the committee on revision of
spot quotations of the New York Cotton
Exchange. This is the first time in two
years that any change has been made.
The committee made general reduction
in the differences between the various
high grades and "middlng," which is
taken as basis, and an increase in the
differences for the lower grades The
changes in the quotations for the various
grades follow:
Fair reduced Nc now 1c on: middling
fair reduced slice, now 11-16c on; strict
good middling reduced bc, now sc on;
good middlng reduced 1-16c, now 14c on;
low middling reduced 1-16c, now 7-16c off;
strict good ordinary reduced &c. now
1860 off; good ordinary reduced 1sc now
11sc off; middllng stains reduced 1-16c, now
7-16c off; strict low middling stains reduc-
ed $500, now &c off; low middling stains,
1sc off, now 1ssc off.
BY the rules of the exchange any grade
of cotton may be delivered on contract by
"middling."
The New York Journal of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin says: THE new grad
ing, therefore, II will be seen, Is rather
against holder of cotton at present and
in favor of the buyer, as the latter would
have to pay a smaller difference for the
higher grades, while he would secure a
larger difference on the lower grades. The
change will not, however, 1t Is claimed,
have any serious effect, as comparatively
little cotton is being held here a t present.
THE revisions appear to meet with gem
eral approval by members of the ex-
change particularly as far as the higher
grades are concerned. There Is some adj
verse criticism, however, of the changes
in the lower grades
The present differences" in the savan-
nah spot market are Ne advance on mid
ding for good mddllng, or the same as
adopted by the New York Cotton Tx
change For low mddlins Ii Is &c off, or
1-16c less deduction than the New York
rate, while good ordinary Is a4e off mid
ding or Lice less deduction than on the
New York rate for strict good ordinary
and &c less than the New York deduction
in good ordinary

If any one will moisten gill Of corn
meal. says the Farm and Fireside, it will
be noticed that large quantity of water
will be absorbed. This water is not taken
by the fowl voluntarily, but through me-
cessity, in order to accept the food offered
Naturally the fowls drink but little water,
and but a small quantity al a time unless
deprived of 1t for quite while. When the
crop is packed with soft food, and diges-
ton is slow, decomposition begins, being
fastened by the animal heat of the body
When the fowl consumes dry food, and
must seek il, the first portion is digested
before the last enters the crop, hence
when 1t drinks there is but portion of the
food eaten moistened, and the crop Is
never full. This matter has been alluded
TO before, but ii is one which should at
tract attention and receive consideration.
TO give soft food when ii Is necessary to
do SO is correct. but such food should be
given only ia limited quantities, and the
ground food should be given dry In the
trough, If possible. instead Of forcing more
water on the birds than they really re-
quire.

SCHOOL.


Few matters are of more Importance
than the selection of a school you wish to
attend or send your children, as such Sc
lection Is likely to involve consequences
that are lifelong. Such a step should not
be taken hastily. The best way is to see for
ones self or see some one who has seen.
To this end prospective students Of Rich
mond's Business College are cordially In
yited to visit the institution and see what
it is and what 1t does
Many pupils who have not succeeded well
in other schools have here achieved re-
markable success, much to their own graf
ification and that of their parents.
1t is well-known that the college course
of study furnishes practical education OF
great value to those who have either lack
ed or neglected early opportunities, and
who find their ignorance not only a con-
slant source of humiliation, but a block OF
advancement
Owing to the growth Of the college thu
past two years the principal has found II
necessary to increase its facilities and 70

floor and portion of the second floor Of

The Keeping OF Fruit.

Many of the finest fruits, says the New
England Homestead, undergo very speedy
decomposition On this account some of
the most highly esteemed fruits In the
countries which produce them have never
become articles of commerce, and are
only to be enjoyed during the season of
their ripening. Decomposition takes place
most rapidly when fruits are exposed to
the air, when there is dampness about
them. and when they are subjected to
considerable or frequent changes of tenn
perature. Grapes are Imported to this
country from the south of Europe, packed
in sawdust Unripe gooseberries may be
kept for making tarts in winter, in bot
ties or jars, filed up with perfectly dry
sand, sawdust, bran or the like, closely
corked and sealed, after a gentle heat
has been applied to eXpel moisture as
much as possible. Place them in a mod
crate and equable temperature, which is
sometimes accomplished by buryinS them
for some depth in the earth.
A similar method may be employed with
some other fruits. Pears, the finest kinds
of which are apt to rot almost immedi-
ately after they reach perfect maturity,
may be kept for months in glazed earth
enware jars very closely covered and
pidCGu Ill d COOi, airy SltudlAOiis OuI TIC
reach of frost The layers of fruit and
individual specimens are separated by the
substances used for filling the Jars, so
that rottenness in one may not infect
the rest. Another method is to keep them
In jars, the temperature being carefully
regulated. Large gardens may be provid-
ed with fruit ROOM in which shelves and
drawers are allotted to the different kinds
of fruit. A moderate and equable tenn
perature, dryness and careful ventilation
are the principal requisites. Fruit intend
ed for keeping should be carefully gath
cred, when almost ripe, and all bruising
avoided.
Pears or apples shaken from the tree
cannot expect to keep so well as those
gathered by the hand. OF all the succu-
lent fruits procured, the apples keep the
best, and are therefore more generally
used. Fruit intended for keeping may be
sweated before being placed in the jars or
shelves. This is done by allowing the fruit
to lie in heaps for a short time-Varying
according to the kind of fruit, and ex-
tending in the case Of winter apples to a
fortnight or more-that some of the juice
may exude through the skin 1 cannot
recommend the propriety of this practice.
Some kinds of winter pears and apples
can scarcely be said to be ripened till after
they are placed in the fruit room.

THE M'KANE HOSPITAL.
Established and Supported by COL
ored People.

ored People.
There is hospital for colored people In
Savannah that is conducted and support
ed entirely by colored people, This fact
is not generally known, yet at No. GA
Sixth street west there Is such an insti-
tuition, called the McKane hospital, and
during its year of existence 1t mas been
the means Of much good There is a
training school for colored nurses con-
nected with the hospital. and number
of well-trained sick bed attendants have
been taught there.
The management of the hospital mas
never called upon the white citizens for
aid, but has been supported solely by che
colored people. All of the churches and
many individuals contributed in this d.
rection.
During the coming year the management
expects TO enlarge the building so that
more patients can be treated and more
facilities allowed the students Of the train
ing school. From the nurse training school
there have been several graduates, whose
services are always in demand.
On the new board of trustees the lead
ing colored ministers and citizens are
members.
AT THO OIBdHtHdtiOu u the DOd1u on fTl-
day the following officers were elected:
Rev. l.. B. Maxwell, president; A. L.
Tucker, vice president; Rev W. A. Din
kins, secretary; DR.. G. McKane, CORE
spending secretary; A. e. Randolph, treas
urer. The executive board consists OF the
officers and Rev w %. p. Sherman, Rev
+. Fl. Travis and Sol G. Johnson. The
board of trustees will meet on Tuesday
afternoon at 4 O'Clock at the hospital
The report of the various departments
of the hospital, as rendered at the trus-
tees meeting Friday, was a commendable
one. 1t showed from whence each penny
was collected, and by whom articles were
donated and how used.
The patients in the hospital are admin
istered TO free. 1t was a hard struggle
for this to be done and 10 keep up the
payments on the building. bur 1t was done
nevertheless, and a balance OF over $50
was brought forward, with only the reg
ular monthly instaliments and the insur-
ance TO be paid. The excellent MANAGE
ment Of the hospital and training school
Is due TO the efforts of DR.. c. McKane
and DR.. Alice W. ndcKane.

The lanes Crane.

MIR. E. H. Hayward of DeLand brought
to our office one day last week, says the
Florida Agriculturist, basket of magnii-
cent James grapes. This grape Is of the
scuppernong family, only its color Is black,
or a dark purple. It is also much larger
and more highly fiavored-which is saying
a great deal.
The vine from which these grapes were
gathered was planted two years ago. The
growth since that time, as compared with
other grape vines, has been phenomenal,
although not unusual for this variety. The
Weld this year was something over thirty
pounds.
We do not know what may be the future
of this grape as market variety, but
certainly as a home grape we think it has
no equal, and every family should have at
least a few vines.

Caution to MiddIe-Aged Bicyclists.

From the British Medical Journal.
Any form of exercise or sport which
makes serious demands on the attention,
ON quickness of eye and hand, and on the
endurance, ought not to be taken up by
people who have reached middle life and
are engaged in sedentary occupation only
with great cireumspection. The lesson
has been learned by Alpine climbers
through many bitter experiences. II is
pretty generally held by them that most
of the fatal accidents in mountain climb
ing occur through the failure at the criti-
cal moment of some man who has taken
to mountaineering too late in life, and
who is, perhaps, also out of condition. An
old dog cannot be taught new tricks, ac-
cording to the proverb and though it is
disagreeable to have to realize that we
have passed the age when we can excel in
a new pastime requiring special skill to
avoid accident; and youthful adaptabllity
and elasticity to avoid oyerstrain. It is
the part of wisdom to accept the inevita-
BILE. There is no reason why middle-aged
men and even those who have passed
middle age, should not take to cycling, but
it should be with a frank recognition of
the limitations which age imposes. Great
speed, long distances and hill climbing
nut a strain upon the constitution, and
will find out the weak places--the parts of
the system which are aging faster, per-
haps. than the rest--the heart, 1t may be-
or the vessels of the brain. So, also, in
regard to riding a bicycle in crowded
thoroughfares, the strain on the attention
is considerable, and the risk not small, il
a man has lost the quickness of youth.

Il cannot close this Acknowledgement of
the Worlds kind wishes without paying
a tribute to the gallant young governor of
Georgia and his charming wife, who so
generously made the executive mansion
the refuge of my now wife when she
sought its shelter In that hour so import
ant in a womans life. Though of excel
lent family and surroundings, Mrs. Long
street was compelled to provide for her
self during the days of glrlhood. II is a
