COTTON.

New York, Oct. 2S.--While the cotton
market was very quiet to-day it was
also very steady. Public cables and
weather reports failed to make much
impression, either one way or the other.
Private cables were decidedly hopeful
rs to the outlook for business with
English spinners. The market was gen
orally steadier. due chiefly to covering
on the part of the more conservative
shorts who feared that the market had
been extensively oversold at low prices.
1t was difficult to interest traders in
cotton as a speculative venture, because
the movement continued very heavy,
and some were predicting a new record
for maximum receipts to displace the
record established last week The mar
ket, therefore, had but little support
beyond that furnished by the shorts
themselves. This was sufficient to hold
prices, but not to advance them to any
considerable extent The market was
finally quiet at unchanged prices to
two points net higher

ENJOYED THE VOYAGE

There has lately been istalled at The

name is Tobie and he is an elephas.t
6 years old. which has been presented
TO the president of the French repH0-
lie by MeneIik, negus or king OF Abys-
sinia- Tobie was brought from Abys-
sinia on the French steamship Ava,
on the deck OF which a sort of wooden
box stall had been constructed for his
accommodation Though this case was
entirely comfortable. Tobie did not
like it. Waiting until no one was
near, he put his shoulder against the
side of the box and pushed it FIAT en-

them, and all night long were kept
awake by the weeping and groaning
about u.s. Wherever travellers go In
the interior they are appealed to BY
the natives as If they were doctors,
the general idea being that any man
with European hat is competent 20
treat all bodily ailments from tooth
ache to scarlet fever.
And yet the task Of physician in
Turkey is not an easy one, for he finds
working against him not only this dis
couraging conviction of the people that
whatever is must be, but their oft
proved preference for talismans and
superstitious practices to any medicine
he can give them. How can one deal
scientifically with people who regard
this as the proper way to treat baby
suffering from anything from Group
to stomach ache. First, get a hens
egg. then make seven round holes in
the shell and empty out the contents
through these holes. Then dip the
perforated eggshell under water, and
lift II quickly over basin so that
the water 1t holds viii stream into the
basin. Repeat this operation thirty
nine times until the basin has received
forty shells full of water streamed
through the seven holes. Finally,
wash the sick baby in the basin thus
filled. and there is nothing more to be
done. or course the death rate among
children Is deplorably high, but that
does not change the peoples belief.
And consider the following treat
ment for boils, which is much In vogue
among adults. A man afflicted with
Jobs comforters starts confidingly
down the road, flinging over his
shoulders nuts and raisins, and never
looking behind him though the whole
city burn down. His belief is that
whoever picks UP one Of the nuts OF
raisins from the roadway will
take with 1t one OF his boils

TIPPING I'm FRANCE.
The Rest Solution of the Question Yet

The Rest Solution of the Question Yet
Evolved.
Time was when tipping was prac~
tically unknown in America. but it is
now as firmly established on this side
of the water as it is in Europe, though
there is far less of method about the
system than in the old world In
France. for instance, tip giving is grad
uated by definite tariff scheme There
is no doubt that this treatment robs
the custom of its most pleasant feat
ure, but it also prevents the heart
burnings that come from the custom
of -unsystematic tipping where re-
spect and courteous treatment are too
apt to be graduated in accordance with
the size of the gratuity. The French
'.pour-boire'' is a definite and expected
SUM, but the innate courtesy of the
French people Though they would
consider its omission an affront, and
openly and worldly resent iD never al
lows them to consider its presentation
in any other light than that OF kind
" Eratuity The Partisan cocher ex-
poets a certain number of sous pour
boire, but when it is given him he tips
his hat and thanks you politely. IL
you increase it all the better, but he.
does not expect it. The restaurant
garcon expects certain percentage of
the amount of your bill, and it is all
ways forthcoming. but he makes you
| feel as though it were kindness and
favor 1t would be unjust to him to-
neglect it, as it goes to make up his
| pay and is counted on by the proprie-i
tor. Thus in French restaurant you
pay yourself for your service, and you
will generally find that the food is
cheaper accordingly. This is, perhaps.
the best solution of the tip question
/, that has yet been evolved. Where it
| is employed large tips for light service
| are considered as being in as bad
taste as small tips for heavy service
| in this country. 1t is an artificial sys-
tenn, however, and to such an extent
\ foreign to the open-handedness of the

long before we shall be willing to
adopt it.

with cotton cloth. This is supposed
to bind the fever at the same time and
render 1t harmless.
The missionary doctors in Turkey
find another curious obstacle to their
efforts against contagion in the meth
cd Of distributing water TO the vari-
GUS houses that Is In operation in many
cities and villages. The water supply
usually comes from spring or stream
on high ground near the city. and this
water, when needed in one section or
another, Is simply turned down this
street or that, its course being regu-
lated by temporary dams, and for hours
IL will flow down a certain set Of streets
and Is at the disposition sof residents
in that vicinity. Some hasten to wash
their clothes in IL, others TO fill earth
en- jars with it, while others who have
wells direct part of it into their
mouths, which are set on the pave
ment covered with fat stones. Owing
TO this arrangement 1t will be seen
that the wells are filled with water
which has run unprotected along the
public streets. where donkeys and
buliocks are constantly passing. where
the women tread out the clothes Of the
weekly wash. where all manner OF
refuse acenmulates, and where Stops
from all the houses are regularly
thrown. The slightest consideration
will make it plain that there could
scarcely be devised a more perfect sys-
tenn for transmitting contagion than
this. and how well 1t succeeds may be
illustrated by one case among many.
When the cholera plague was raging
in Asia Minor few years ago the dis
ease was brought to caesarea by man
from silva. who died almost immediate
iy on his arrival That night his body
was washed In the courtyard of the
house and the water used was thrown
out into the public street, when 1t
flowed into public fountain not far
distant. The next day scores Of peo-
pie drank at that fountain. and the day
after that scores OF people were dy-
ing.
And it is interesting to note that
while the little band of Americans in
the plague stricken region were max
ing brave and successful stand
against the disease, fighting with the
weapons OF science, the Armenians
were making blood sacrifices to APP
pease the angry gods, and were march
ing about the cify led by their priests
lifting their voices in dirge-like chants
and openly declaring that the mission
aries had brought the plague upon
them by posting up certain sanitary
instructions in advance. II these in
structions had not been posted up. the
