MORE ACTIVITY
 IN COTTON MARKET Continued Heavy Demand for
 Spot at Liverpool. THE IMMENSE ABSORPTION Acted as Caution to the Bear Contin- tingent-Close Was Steady at
 a Gain of Three to
 Five Points.

New York, Juno 1.-The cotton market was considerably more active and showed a net gain of four to five points after open ing steady at an advance of one point. The improvement was chiefly due to the continued very heavy demand for spot cotton at Liverpool with private cables in- dicating that until demand for actual cot ton ill the English market there was very widespread inquiry for cotton products, with orders being filled well into the future.
 In addition to the foreign news, specula- tion was stimulated at this point by reports from southern markets to the effect that American spinners were inactive in com petition for desirable grades of cotton, with difficulty in obtaining assortment. At the same time reports from cotton goods markets were of a highly encouraging character.
 The upward tendency of the market was arrested, however, by reports from the cot ton districts indicating generally favorable crop reports. There was some liquidation and selling for short account on rains in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Mssis- sippi, and showers elsewhere in the cotton belt
 The extraordinary absorption of cotton for manufacturing purposes, at present prices, however, acted as a caution to the bear contingent, especially in view of the fact that the market has been slowly but steadily creeping up for a week or two past The disposition was to decrease the short interest rather than increase it. A feature of todays market was the broaden- ing tendency of outside speculation in the staple. The market closed steady at gain of to points.

An Impossible Wager.

In the year 1864 the parliament Of
Dole, in France. was called upon to de-
eide an extraordinary wager between
two inhabitants of Pasmas One of the
two had agreed that if the other would
pay him s. ready money he would fur
nish him with 4 certain number Of
grains Of millet in proportion to the
number of children WHO should be born
within certain extent Of country and
be baptized during one year. For the
first child he was to furnish one grain,
two for the second. four for the third,
and SO on, always doubling the number
of grains for each successive birth.
The number Of children born was
G3, and the proportion of grains to be
supplied was so enormous that the par.
ty bound by the wager demanded the
canceling OF the bet as being based on
an impracticable condition.
The court decided, after making the
necessary calculation, that the wager
was naturally impossible to be carried
out and it consequently decreed that
the party who had received the So on
condition of an event which he declared
himself unable to meet should return
that sum to his opponent and should
pay an additional sum of So which was
the only chance Of loss incurred BY the
winner if the millet had been furnished.

Some Famous Sal1ies.

Great men have been guilty of pun
ming, and some of the most famous Of
these sallies have come down in history
There is something melancholy about
the pun of Dr. Thomas Browne. who,
having unsuccessfully courted lady
and being challenged to drink to her
health as had been his wont, replied.
II have toasted her many years, but [
cannot make her Browne. so will toast
her no longer.
Sydney Smiths jest at the expense
of Mrs. Grote had the salt Of malice i'll
it. She was famed for i'll taste in dress
and as one day she swept by in an ex-
traordinary headdress Smith pointed her
out to friend, saying THAT is the
origin of the word 'grotesque
Mrs Grote, however, had her re-
venge. Sydney Smiths daughter mar
ried Dr. Holland. When the latter
was knighted, some one mentioned his
wife as Lady Holland ''Do you mean
Lord Hollands wife? asked the lis
tener
mo. replied Mrs Grote This
new Holland. whose capital is Sydney.
When the barrister Campbell mar
ried Miss Scarlett. his friend explained
his absence from court by telling the
judge that Campbell was suffering from
bad attack of Scarlett fever

EIahing For Anchors.

One of the queer occupations of man
kind is that of dragging for lost ranchors
1t is carried en- in bays and rivers. and
even in the open sea along the coast
Several soops and schooners ure engag-
ed almost exclusively in this pursuit.
The hunters are as familiar with the
ground where anchors are to be found
as fishermen are with the favorite
haunts of the living inhabitants of the
sea.
The matter of fishing for lost anchors
is most simple. A chain is let down in
loop long enough to drag along the
bottom. and the vessel goes on her way.
with all hands on board alert fora bite,
and a bite usually ends in Il catch.
The recovered anchors are generally
sold again at price of about cents a
pound. which is penny under the
market price for new anchors A big
anchor will weigh G.000 pounds, SO
that the fishermen make $3.50 out of it.
More often. however. the anchors tished
up weigh from /. 900 to ., 900 pounds.

Turkey. Tracked by Dogs.

The wild turkey in the Ozarks is now
hunted with slow tracking dog, and
whole flocks are often killed in this way
Till the trained dog was employed to
follow up the wary bird this game fowl
could battle the most skillful hunter
Now, when flock of turkeys is found,
the sportsman has little difficulty. A
good dog will follow turkey track
that is three or four hours old and set
the birds when overtaken, just as the
pointer does the quail. After the turkey
has been chased awhile it hides III Il
tree or under log, and stays there 'ln-
til the hunter, guided by his dog. comes
Within close range
1t is astonishing what fine instinct Il
good turkey dog will develop after a
few months Of training in the woods.
He will follow flock of turkeys for
hours just ahead of the hunter, and in
dicate by unmistakable signs when the
game is near After Il turkey has re-
ceived fatal shot it may fly half q
mile or more A trained dog Will go
straight to Il wounded or dead turkey
with the same precision with which he
tracks the game.-Chicago. Record.
