PRIVATE CROP ACCOUNTS

New York, June 27.-While private crop
accounts had a bearish average, the cotton
cables We're better than looked for and COW
ering became features, supplemented by
some good buying for European and Wall
street accounts with preference on the
part of the foreigners for the new crop po-
sitions.
The first call developed a steady feeling,
with prices to points loweR The market
began to strengthen and the bears became
suspicious and fearful as to the extent of
the short interest, known to be heavy and
having steadily accumulated on the recent
protracted decline. After an advance of
4 to points, however, there was a let-up
in the buying, and prices began to sag a
little; but throughout the session the
market reflected the apprehension that the
future list had been oversold, especially
in view of the fact that brace of holidays
is at hand in this country with the mar
kets to remain wide open abroad and the
possibility of change In the crop outlook
also sufficiently recognized to add to the
caution of all classes of traders.
Nevertheless, the volume of business for
the day was very fair. The fact that the
banking element and foreigners had fig
tingent to take a hopeful view of the gen.
eral situation, in which steadier ruling of
the spot market in Liverpool was a prom
inent feature, giving support to reiterated
forecast of activity in spot cotton in the
English market. The weekly crop report
from Washington was regarded also as of
bullish significance.
The final tone was steady and prices 2

Alexander the Great Had Nerve.

When they told Alexander the
Great, on one of his campaigns that
hundreds of thousands of Persians
confronted him, he replied: "Yet one
butcher fears not myriads of sheep"
"AhW said another of his retainers,
"when the Persisns draw their bows
their arrows are 30 numerous that
they dsrken the SUM-" at will be
fine to fl Eht in the shade" then, cried
the undsuhted Alexander, as clever
at repsrtee as he was courageous in
battle. If men of that conqueror type
have evinced such pluck in winning
new glories for their own name,
should not the Christian believer be
as stout-hearted and determined in
h effort to win fresh laurels from
the b ow of Christ, the Great Captain
OF our salvation?

sons applying for position, the one

impressions are everything. A rough,
rude, coarse manner creates an in
Simultaneous prejudice, closes hearts
aud bars doors against us. The Ian
guage of the face aud the manner are
the shorthand of the mind, easily and
quickly read. A fine manner with an
ugly face. or evenfa deformed BODY,
is an infinitely greater factor in win

II Was Purified Meat.

Gen. Miles In his statement regard
ing the canned beef furnished by the
present administration to American
soldiers, is corroborated by the OFF,
GERS and privates without number.
The meat used was stringy, was pu
trid, revolving to the stomschs and
made the soldiers sick. Fresh or re-
frigersted beet was good. The SOL
diers in the trenches were compelled
to use this canned purified mass in
order to sustain life.

MILES OF STAMPS
ISSUED In THE q. 8. LAST YEAR
Some Idea of the Total Output
When it is Known
That If Laid Close Would Stretch
Once and a Half Around
the Equator.
That if Laid Close Would Stretch

Uncle Sam printed just a few post
age stamps during the year 1898 T. Q
number Of 2-cent stamps issued dur
ing the year was about $500, 100000
Such lumber, obviously, is beyond
the grasp of the human mind, bt t
perhaps the matter may be made
more clear by putting it otherwise.
A ordinary 2-cent stamp exactly
one inch long. From this fact, by
little calculation, it is easy to discover
that the number of stamps OF this de-
nomination issued in 1898, placed end
to end, would extend a dietance con-
siderable exceeding SO, 900 miles. In
other words they would make a con-
tinuous stamps, each one adorned
with the head OF the father of his
country, stretching in belt more
than once and half around the equs-
tor.
Ofcourse, though the 2-csut stamps
are those principally used, there are
others. Enough l-cent postage stamps
have been issued during the year
1893 to stretch from New York City
by way OF Europe and Asia to Bonn
bay. India, il similarly arranged in
one strip. All other stamps, as to
production and sales, are of minor i'm
portance, comparatively speaking. but
it is interesting to know that almost
exactly one mile Of 81 stamps were
manufactured for the demand OF 1898.
OF So stamps the production was
equivalent to little more than half
furlong, or about one-fifteenth of
mile.
Now, if all thu postage stamps prin-
ted by the United St&tes Government
in 1898 were placed one on top anotD-
er, as nearly as might be without put
ting them under pressure, how high
do you suppose the pile of them to
be? There is no use guessing; you
would never get it nearly right unless
you went to work to calculate it for
yourself.
The 100000, 900 stamps OF all de-
nominations printed during the cur
rent year-the statement of course is
approximste-would tower to an ele-
walton of twenty-one miles. This is
more than three times the height of
the highest mountain in the world
Mt. Everest in the Himalayas. If
the same number of stamps were piled
up in the form of ordinary sheets of
loo each, it follows that the stack
would be over q one-fifth of a mile
high.
1t appears from figures furnished
by the Post Office Department that
the average person in Massachusetts,,
including men, women and children,
spend $3.50 on postage per annum.
New York comes second with an ex-
penditure of 1927. The District OF
Columbia third with $2.16. Colorado
is fourth with $l.96. and. Connecticut
is fifth with $3.50.
The States ranking lowest in this
regard are South Carolina with twen-
ty-fivs cents per capita; Mississippi
with thirty-four cents; Alabama with
thirty-five cents; Arkansas with
thirty-seven cents, and North Carroll
ma with forty-one cents.
