Today was one Of the dulfsst in cotton cir

The markets all starred out In laggard
way and At no time was there the least ac-
ti,lty. Liverpool appears to he holding back
and IL buying on n hand-to-mouth basis
The situation in China has alarmed the
English srinners and they are moving along

In the eorly hours there we're few sell

that rains were genera. and we're falling in
sections where the CROP is already in The
grass This, of course. aided the bull con-
tingen, and in the late trading prices ad-
vanced.
In spots little was doing. Sales in Liverpool
were only 1000 bales and at decline OF
I-I6d from yesterday.

murdered him. If he were found hang
ing, his sword in its scabbard by his side,
people would understand no one was to
blame but himself.

| critical glance around; he had hanged
| other men in his day, and knew what to
look for.
The precise kind of a tree he wanted
stood in the middle of the grove, but as
he approached he was Disguised to find
that it had already a tenant, a French
officer Of chasseurs, who had cleary been

With a revulsion of feeling from his
own fell intent, Daily cut down the melan-
choly remnant of what seemed to have
been just such another man as himself,
and, prodding out with his sword a shall
, low hole in the moist ground, laid him
reverently to rest and said short prayer
over HMM French, as a compliment to
his client.

one hangs for a long time upon a tree,
shuddered, and made his way to the far
side Of the thicket to take a Whit of
fresh air before he finally made up his
mind.
"'Tis an uncommon fine morning." he
observed to himself, as he gazed away
down the frosty slopes toward the river.

An extremely spatulated formation-es-

cation of a tyrannical. fault-finding, rest
less, dtscontented nature
When the back of the hand is very
hairy 1t denotes an inconstant nature;
quite hairless denotes folly. A mans
hand, to be good. should always be
slightly hairy, giving prudence and an af-
fectionate nature, but hair on woman 8
hands denotes a cruel, crafty nature.
Hair on the thumb or fingers denotes a
very hasty and choleric disposition.
Lines on the first phalanx Of a finger de-
note a weakening of the quality of that
finger, and II confused-criss -cross-they
