 New York, December 11.-On the break buying of cotton started in rather large volume and while the early tone was un- settled, the undertone was firm in the extreme. Around s.10 for May the de- mand proved in excess and before the close of the market May sold up to S22 while receipts were liberal in many in- stances on the feeling that the crop is a moderate one and receipts will soon increase. The belief in the government figures helped the market and increased the buying. Perhaps the most important

WOMEN SHOULD
 CULTIVATE POSE

Ina Brevoort has the following to say in sWomans Home Companion:
 The woman of poise is restful to those with whom she comes In contact. TO the woman aspiring to this enviabie state of mental equilibrium, of controlled pow er I would say: First, remember 10 De saving of your nervous Iorce; a ,jt, DO o,aos nos movements of hands. feet, eyes or head. Let each motion have purpose, ana ex- pend no more strength upon It than It calls for. Learn to relay and keep the body in that state except so far as some member of it is called upon for action. Do rot give strong grasp where a light touch will do the work. Learn to be like an elastic band, which stretches no more than is required, and the strain removed returns at once to it's normal condition; s5 I shall modify the advice and make it possible to follow by ; saying; Don't wor- worry becomes a habit, and habits are hard to break, this one particularly. But 1t can be done. Sit down some day and think how few impending calamities ever You must but do not begin before 1t is time. Lifes tangles have a way of strengthening out wher we come close to them Third, talk much or little, as is natural for you, but be sure that when you speak you say something EndeaVor to put individuality. which is a very diff ferent thing from eccentricity, into your
 Let your speech, even though it be about trifies. have pith and point. In con versation. as in most things. it Is we'll to have goal. The mention of a goal sug- gests word about what is perhaps, aside from nerves, the greatest enemy to boise. This is aimlessness. Too many women are aimless In their talk, aimless in their actions. aimless in their lives. Thus they fritter away the forces which If concen- trated. would result in that useful and harmoniously beautiful product of civili- zation, the highest type of yoman-the woman of boise.

Each felt tl,at the success was entirely due to her special efforts and qualifications, and began to wish Tor the undivided possession of the
 business" .Quarrels were picked; tho one possessing the smallest intellectual calabre made the highest offer. and the partnership was dissolved. There was no more success. Only half of the good continuation was there. and 1t could not stand alone.
 l wonder if any business firm of men ever existed where the wives ot the part ners did not repeatedly advise dissolu- tion-"because you know all the business comes through you, and you might as well have all the profit"
 There is no line of business in which woman would not do better if she would enter into a good partnership. Take for example dressmaking. Two women--one special waist maker and another a spe- cial skirt underworld io more if they worked together than the two would do 1T working separate. One might be best at taking orders. the other best at en- Tightening customers on styles, etc. If their qualities doyetailed, the result of the. partnership would be good. But so far in woman's progress 1t would be sure to break, up in a row. This Is nothing against .woman's intellectual capacity, but 1t does speak against her business capacity. We'll. she is very young in thai line yet. and her strides have been great considering her newness in the field.

WOMEN IN PARTNERSHIPS.

In this day and generation when wo- men are invading almost every known field of work, doesn't 1t seem a little queer that so few-if any-form business partnerships. Woman has not in a bus mess direction yet grown to sufficient proportions to realize the value of a com. bination of conditions and qualifications, and when she sees a good thing she wants 1t all. She Is sure to feel that if two partners can make a given amount yearly, one could do the same, and in erasping for the whole she drops all. It I{s a great mistake, and until women ad- init the value of good partnership there will be no very successful business en- terprIses conducted by women.
 r have known cases where on the face os the matter it could be seen that two v,omen in a business way would each be autifully supplement the other; and yet the prospect of co-partnership was not attractive to either. Each woman will ~ssent the idea that any requisite to suo-

SEAL WAS CHASED.

A few years ago some fishermen were following their vocation off T harbor on the Maine coast, when they observed a commotion on the surface, and soon made out seal leaE1lg fro4 the water as if pursued by some en- emy. It came near the boat, swim ming around it several times, and then. making a leap, the men saw that it was being chased by a large fish. One of the fishermen dropped his line and, stepping into the bow. leaned over and held out his hands. To his amaze ment the seal immediately dashed toward him, and with his help scrambled out of the water into the boat just in time to escape the sharp weapon of a swordfish that darted by, it's big eyes staring, probably ill won der at the method of escape, to it's ,fishy intelligence being evidently a case of dut of the frying pan into the fire. But the little seal apparently knew better. and it need not be said that it's confidence was not misplaced, as the men were so pleased at it's ac- ton in coming to them that they kept it as pet and the seal became a fla miliar object about the shore.
