NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The tone of the cotton
goods division of the dry goods market continues
generally strong. No further advances in prices
are recorded, but previous advances are fully
maintained. The demand was not spirited but of
average proportions. Jobbers doing a good
business and their recorders numerous for quick
shipments of moderate quantities. Cotton Innings
in kid cambrics, silesias, percalnes and fancy
silk finishes improving in sales and the tone
is very firm. Heavy knit underwear for next
fall is irregular in price, some lines opening
to 10 per cent under last year in wooden and
heeced cotton makes. Hosiery was inactive and
irregular and wooden fabrics are unchanged.

While 1 was up in Canada last sum-
mer a venerable inhabitant told me
the reason why the farmers of the Do
minion raise so much hay. He said
that two or three centuries ago tithes
were imposed for the benefit of the
church upon all agricultural products,
and a list was made of them. The
farmers were compelled to give the
priests one bushel in twenty-six of
everything they produced, whether it
was apples, potatoes, wheat, corn,
onions, turnips, or any other grain or
vegetable. Everything that grows
was on the list except hay, which for
some reason was omitted, he doesn't
know why. Perhaps it was a mistake,
but it is more likely the hay crop was
so insignificant in those times that it
was overlooked. In 1854, when Can
ada passed from French to British
rule, the titbing law was confirmed
and ratified by the treaty, and con-
tinues in force this day in the province
of Quebec and wherever the Catholic
church is strong. Therefore, to es-
cape tithes, the farmers raise hay

Ears Beat Eyes.

Most people would no doubt be in
clined to fancy that the eye was the
gateway of quite the most delicate OF
all our senses. But this is not so.
The sense of hearing has been proved
to be far the most delicate of all the
senses. And the sense of touch APP
pears to be perhaps the keenest Of all.
The tests are very simple.
For testing sight disc half black,
half white is revolyed quickly before
the eyes. When it reaches speed OF
twenty four revolutions a second the
colors cease to appear distinctly any
longer to the eye, and the result Is
gray. For sound, a revolving toothed
wheel makes series of clicks, and
these to the average man appear to be
distinct sounds up to sixty a second.
After that they cannot be distinguished
apart. The sense of touch is tried by
rapid blows of tiny electric hammer
on the skin. Up to 1000 second
these blows have been felt separate
and distinct.

Cremation in scotland.

Cremation is not making rapid pro-
gress in Scotland. Since the crema-
forum was opened near Glasgow, four
years ago, only ihirty-eight bodies
have been burned. In order to in
duce the working classes to resort to
this method of disposing of their dead,
the managers of the crematorium offer
to conduct cremations at 2 guineas
piece, and in the case of very poor
persons, for nothing at all.
