COTTON MARKET OPENED AT DECLINE There Was a Slight Recovery But Without Energy. BUSINESS WAS VERY SMALL In the Afternoon the Local Traders Had the Exchange All to Themselves
 ~CIosed Quiet and Steady
 At Loss
BUSINESS WAS VERY SMALL

New York, February 20.-iThe cotton mar ket opened easy at decline of 5qS points, cables being disappointing and port re- eeipts full Later cables coming better, gave an upward tendency to the market in connection with uae fact that actual re- eeipts were running a little less than ttnated, while interior stocks showed losses.
 The market advanced 2q6 points on local covering on the more active positions with out showing much energy dn the way of further outside support. 1t was chiefly local market. After Liverpool closed the market was dul and neglected until local selling was renewed, on the theory that, irrespective of the statistical position, there Was large and scattered outside interest which argued against a further advance. There was some selling of the new crop positions and this gave a weakness to the months beyond October.
 The volume of transactions was very small, representing for the most part local business and weak undertone. In the afternoon the local traders had the market almost exclusively to themselves. At the lowest point of the session prices showed a decline of Sq1O points at the best prices, decdne of 1G2 points.
 The market closed quiet and steady at a net loss of Sa1O points.

Cotton Lcttcr

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agt. ,
 New York, February 20.-Liverpool was again disappointing and our market open ed three to four points down. and ruled very dull throughout the entire session. Thereawas considerable buying near the close, and values rallied a point or two. The port movement was again very lb- eral. Spot cotton was unchanged, at SIS. Liverpool seems to have been seller of cotton here early this morning, and this seemed to cause some uneasiness among bulls, but the general outlook seems now to be very favorable for an advance.

TRAINING AND COMMON SENSE.

II has been remarked that modern
methods of education, whatever may
be their merits. do not markedly In
crease that most valuable of all en-
dowments common sense. AS the de-
velopment of that somewhat indetn-
able but absolutely necessary quality,
If one would lead the most useful
life, should be more aimed al than
anything else, thoughtful mothers
have suggested that there must be
serious defects in our modern schools
and colleges. One of the directions
in which common sense is most likely
TO be shown Is in the care of the
health Neither young men nor
young women appear TO realize the
value Of health, and our colleges do
not seem to instiIl into them the pre-
Icepts which aid in securing this great
est of earthly benefits, Wealth, learn
ing beauty, vital are OF little com
fort without health, while with it

A CRIME OF THouGHrLEssNEss
Which Causes the Death OF Many
Sick-room Victims.

"Thoughtlessness and mistaken
kindness in the sick-room Stay their
thousands, and the family and nurses
are ofttlmes the unknown accessories
to the deed" is the emphatic opinion
of Bland Drummer Huddleston writing
Of Visitors TO the Sick-room in Wo-
mans Home Companion. They fear
criticism too much. Their mothers
and grandmothers never dreamed of
refusing admittance to the sick
room; il would cause talk to begin
it. so the nurse casts responsibility
off on custom, and puts a blind trust
in providence, and the deed Is donei
No matter how yisibly 1t harrows the
soul of a nervous woman to have out
siders about her, there are those who
will persist in invading every sick
room they can reach, regardless of the
condition of the patient or the prob
ability Tor lack Of probability that
they may be of any service. 1t often
happens that ii Is the least useful and
most tactless women of a community
who are most active in their atten-
lions to the afflicted. Such visitors
seriously handicap the efforts Of the
physician and nurses and undoubtedly
cause many a death. 1t is astonishing
to witness the recklessness Of most
families in regard to this phase of the
care of their sick. Unless a patient
is actually In articulo mortis the
country doctor does not like to en-
danger his popularity by ordering the
arbitrary exclusion of visitors. With
ont his commands to back them up the

means everywhere must supply the

FRENCH NAVAL PLAN.

The plan recently laid before the
French chamber Of deputies for in
crease of the navy contemplates the ex-
penditure of $4,000 600 francs, of
which 235, 100000 are for completing
ships already on the stocks, 476 1000, 900
for III additional new vessels, includ-
ing 1l2 torpedo boats, $4,000, 600 for
ports and arsenals, S5,O00,000 for coast
defenses and 55.000,OOO for naval sta
tons in the colonies Germany and
Russia also are adding to their pro-
grams in a like proportion The build
ing program of the United States, and
even that of England, looks small by
comparison. 1t is to be borne In mind,
however that these paper ships take a
long time to get converted into steel
realities.

For the night is lonely. dearie,
Creep close, and close, 10 this heart

And rest for thy soul is weary

Weary of care in its ways alone.
Oh. rest in the nest of my love, my

browse in the JOY of a safe retreat
Where shadowy fears may never
Creep into thy dreams, my sweet, my

But happiness lull forever.

Folding thee dear from stress ant

Come. rest in the nest that awaits
