COTTON MARKETS

New York. Sept. 22.-The cotton mar
ket made "a steady start. Higher cables
and foreign buying orders on n large
scale caused an advance Of SOS points
on the first call. Throughout the fore
noon unfovaroble crop accounts reach
ed the market and covering became a
feature. The action of the market in
dictated that the weaker element of the
long interest had been pretty well
cleared out by the recent decline. Re-
ceipts at the ports and the indicated
movement for interior towns are on a
large scale, this checking confidence on
the long side of the account. During
the afternoon, however, the market was
quite. firm, though quiet. At the best
point OF the day prices showed net
rise of TOTO points, with the market
finally steady at a net advance of To
Q points.

One on the Grocer.

They are telling a good story on my
friend, the grocer, next door. The 9TH
er day a woman came in and said: 81
want two dozen hens eggs. They must
all be eggs laid by black hens"
The grocer said: Madam, am will
ing to accommodate you, but you have
got the best of me this time. l don't
know how to tell the eggs of a back
hen from those of a speckled or white
one"
Said she: 81 can tel the difference
mighty quick"
"If that is so, madam, will you kind
ly pick out the eggs for yourself?"
She did So and when the two dozen
were counted into her basket, the gro
Ger looked at them, and said, suggest
lively: "Well, madam, it seems as
though the black hens laid all the big
eggs"
"Yes," said she, that's the way you
tell them. ."-Hardware

HAS THE UMBRELLA FAD.
Chicago Man Who Carries 1t to Greater
Extremes Than Most People.

Chicago Man Who Carries 1t to Greater
Extremes Than Most People.
There is a man on the North Side
who has the umbrella fad. 1t would
hardly be fair to tell his name, as it
was learned in confidence, and the fad
might not be regarded as a mere eccen-
tricity by some people who have suffer
ed from it and they might be tempted
to complain to the police. Again, every
body who has lost an umbrella-and
that means a majority of the people of
Chicago-would look up his address in
the directory and sweep down upon him
with the hope that his lost property
might be in his collection.
There are other men who have a
weakness for taking umbrellas, but no
man is known to have carried it to so
great an extreme as this one. He has a
collection numbering 400 umbrellas Of
all kinds A good many of them We're
bought. Some Of them were borrowed
from friends, with and without their
permission, and others were acquired in
other ways which it would be hardly
polite to mention. The man is a good
citizen in other respects, but he is vic
tim of the umbrella habit, and when he
sees an umbrella he is compelled to
struggle very hard to resist the tempta-
ton to make himself its owner. Usual
ly he yields to the temptation, and the
coveted prize is transferred to his col.
lection.
The umbrella collector does not make
any great display of his collection. The
umbrellas are piled up in a big closet in
his bedroom, and he very seldom visits
it. Now and then he looks over them
and counts them with satisfaction. The
last time he counted them there were
S98 in the closet. He has added few
to his collection since that time.
In every other way except this pas
sion for umbrellas, which amounts to a
mania, the man is perfectly sane. His
friends regard him as very clever
man, and he holds responsible posi-
tion in big wholesale house down
town. But umbrellas are his weakness.
He is victim of the umbrella habit
just as another man might be victim
of the opium habit or morphine habit,
and his relatives are in constant fear
that the habit may some day get him
into trouble. Chicago Times Herald

The Champagne Industry Booming.

In 1867 the champagne district ex
ported more than 2S,000,0OO bottles of
wine. Frances best customer in this
industry is England. Our exporters
find in the United Kingdom an excel.
lent market In 1894 and in the first
months Of 1895 the exports for this
market fell off somewhat, like all the
others, but in the second half of 1895
the business became more active and
the diminution of our importations in
England, which was $4,000 dozens of
bottles for the first six months Of 1895,
was more than made up in the second
six months. The American market
does not come up to expectations, and
champagne wines have suffered from
the effect of the recent commercial
stagnation in that country.
The expectations to Belgium, Ger.
many and Russia have increased in the
same proportion as those to England
Our expectations to Belgium amount
annually to about 100000 bottles.-

SEES THROUGH HIS NOSE.
Frenchrnan Whose Nasal Organs Have

Frenchman Whose Nasal Organs Have
Taken the Place of His Eyes.
A Paris paper published a few days
ago an account of a man who can see
through his nose. This extraordinary
person, 1t seems, was born blind, and
by systematic training has been en-
abled to make his nasal organ take in
some measure the place of his eyes.
The story was read far and wide, and
it Is safe to say that the majority Of
readers gave little credence to it. Ex-
traordinary things are daily happening
but most of them are conceivable, and
hence credible. But how is it possible
for man to see through his nose?
Many asked this question and waited
In vain for a satisfactory answer. If
such persons, however, will look into
an old book, which was printed in Nu
remberg, in 1902, they will find record
Of case very similar to that recorded
in the Paris journal. This book is en-
Htled "Oculus Artificialis Teledioptri
Gus Sine Telescopium Est" and it Is
the work of the distinguished German
scholar, Johann Zahn. Copies Of it are
very rare, and the one which was con-
suited in the present instance was
found in the University of Bologna.
The man who, according to ZAhD,
could see through his nose was farm.
er. While he was still an infant he
met with a serious accident, which re-
suited III the loss Of his right eye. y
few years later he fell from a cherry
tree and lost his left eye. His nose and
left cheek were terribly mangled at the
same time, and it was a year before
the wound was healed. When he was
well enough to go out of doors the
blind lad would sit in the garden and
warm himself in the sun. Now one day
he fancied that he saw through his nose
a dim ray of light. He was naturally
puzzled, but next day he noticed the
same unaccountable phenomenon.
Week after week and month after
month he looked for this ray of light
and, strange to say, it not only never
failed him, but, as time passed, 1t
grew more constant and more pote mt,
until at the end Of five years he was
able to see all objects within rea-
sonable distance. Here, however, Is 4
curious fact He was able to see all
objects on the ground or in front Of
him, but he could not see any objects
above him. Zahn vouched for the
truth Of these statements and said that
the distinguished physician, Heinrich
Spezius, was also ready to make an af
f1davit as to their truth. Skeptics may
say that the man was shamming, but
as both eyeballs were lost it is difficult
to see how shamming was possible. Of
course, the man may have imagined
that he saw objects on the ground or in
front Of him, but, according to Zahn,
he was subjected to tests which proved
to the satisfaction Of all eye witnesses
that he was not imposing on them.
There must be some explanation of this
amazing phenomenon, and If there is
really in France now a person who can
see through his nose he certainly de-
serves to be made the subject of seri-
