LIVERPOOL CABLES WEAKER

New York, November 23.-The cotton market opened steady in tone with prices one to five points lower, slim response to weak Liverpool cables and to rrcdic- tions from the bear side for an increase in receipts. And immediately after tile call the smaller holders sold out as a mere matter of precaution, while come of the bear leaders endeavored to shake out larger lines of cotton held by iu- siders and investors. But in contrast with the English market news, which was bad. there was bountiful supply of bullish domestic news. Moderate to heavy rains over the Eastern and Cen tral portions of the belt and unseasona- bly, low temperatures in the West were said to be delaying gathering of the crop. January rose to 7.63 after the call, but as a general thing the market did not vary much from the opening bids during the forenoon, 'i r~
 Private cables attributed the heaviness abroad to active profit taking and pres sure from the bear side.
 The market closed steady, net un- changed to three points lower.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, November 23.-The mar ket for spot cotton was very quiet dur ing the half day. Liverpool's decline and the slight downward tendency of contract values at all points had the effect of causing buyers to hold off, ahd there was no disposition on their part to pay the prices demanded by the faotorage ele- ment. Sales, 345O bales including 1850 to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
 The volume of trading during the short hours today in the market for contracts was of fair proportions, though neither element showed a disposition to move actively, but per contra operators for both accounts were rather disposed to cover over their lines in view of the long lapse to Tuesday morning. Monday be- ing legal holiday in this market. The trading was also represented in part by sealping operations and hedges against spot purchases The smarket opened to 5 points down and after the opening call prices backed and filled over a somewhat narrow range, but there was no disposi- ton to force values in either direction and at the noon closing the local board showed net declines from yesterdays level of to points on the several months. -EIsa

FOUR MORE CARRIERS FOR
WORCESTER POST 0FFCICE

Postmaster J. Evarts Greene yester~
day received notification from WASH
ington that he would be allowed four
additional carriers after Nov. 1. Mr..
Greene's request was for six men in
addition to the present force, but the
communication states that lack of ap-
preparation makes it impossible to all
low the request in full at this time.
The men who will be appointed from
the senior substitute list Nov 1, are
John H. McNulty, Edward H. Flaher-
ty. Frank MCFARLAND and Paul w.
Christensen. The new appointments
will help out proportionately, but Mr..
Greene feels that the office requires
the whole number for which requisi-
ton was made and he will file another
request Immediately. 81
The receipts of the office for the
quarter ending Oct. l amount to
$3.50, 43214, the expenses to $50, 5S6.52,
making a balance in favor of the Office
of S29,S45.62
The figures for the summer quarter
last year show receipts of 57,142.S9,
and expenditures of S29, 44959 making
a total in favor of the office of ST.
$3.50. The office has thus earned 81
1892 more this year than last during
the same quarter.

Years Ago.

one who desires to ride on it. The en-
tire population of Bona may travel
between the town and the river with
out paying a cent. Passenger trains,
however, run only four times q day.
The man or the street corner who de-
sires to hail a train must sometimes
find it a rather long time to wait.
Though the passenger service is so
infrequent the trains are running
about all the time, for Bona is a very
busy place and Royal avenue, through
which the tramway runs, is lined with
stores. The cars carry goods from the
steamers to the shops of Royal avenue
or palm oil and other native products
down to the wharves. At times, how
ever, when several days have elapsed
after the arrival of a steamer there
may be no freightage business, but the
tramway is as busy as ever, for then
big loads of dirt are hauled from one
part Of Royal avenue to another in
the still uncompleted work Of leveling
the town.

THE AERoscorE.

Among the scientific toys at the Par
is exposition was an instrument named
the Horoscope" 1t consisted Of a
wooden paddle about six feet and a
half long and three inches wide, whit
ened with chalk, and turning about
its middle at the rate of 1900 turns a
minute. When in motion the paddle
resembled a thin. circular screen
through which objects could be seen.
At a distanceo of nearly four feet behind
the whirling paddle and parallel to its
plane of rotation was fixed a black
screen. The apparatus being placed in
a dark chamber, a brilliant photo
graphic image of some object was
projected upon the moving paddle, and
Immediately the image seemed to stand
forth with all the solidity of a real
object. The perspective was supplied
by the reflection Of the image from the
black screen behind as well as from
the semitransparent screen formed by
the rotating paddle.

Now d
F%lourishing Town.

Bona is the capital of the Congo
Free State. 1t is so miles from the
mouth of the river. Fifteen years ago
Bona was nothing but a rocky hill at
the base Of which stretched a great
marsh, the prolific source Of tropical
fevers. A great change has been
wrought in the appearance and condi-
tons Of Bona. A number of long
streets have been built over the hill.
The height has been dug down and
leveled so that it is no longer difficult
to reach 1t from the bank Of the river.
The marshes have been drained, beau
tiful little parks now flourish, and he
Bona of today is a smiling, fourishing
town. Piers extend out into the river,
and vessels from Europe tie up at
these iron structures and discharge
their cargoes directly into the little
cars that are pulled by small steam
engines along the main street of Bona.
The popularity of this steam tram
way is that it makes no charge to n

TIE sEaMING PALSY.

1919
Shaking palsy, or paralysis agitans,
as it is called by physicians, is a ner-
YOU affection in which there is a
weakness almost amounting to actual
paralysis at times, combined with a
constant and uncomfortable jerking
of the muscles. The affection is class
ed among the diseases Of old age, but
is not very rare in younger persons,
and may occur even in children. AS
a rule it begins gradually, the first
thing noticed being an unsteadiness OF
the hands, or perhaps a trembling
movement Of only one finger, generally
the thumb. With this there may be
moderate pain, which is supposed to be
rheumatic. The trembling movement
is often Intermittent, at first coming
and going without apparent cause; but
later it becomes permanent and ex-
tends to other parts, finally involving
both arms and legs. Less frequently
the neck muscles participate in the
movements, the head then nodding.
turning or moving from side to side.
The muscles OF the face and the ton
que may also be implicated.
Weakens the Muscles.
In conjunction with the trembling
the muscles are weak, and may be al
most incapable OF voluntary move-
ments, and the patient feels tired and
longs for the constant shaking to cease.
The trembling does cease during sleep,
and 1t is also less marked when one
executes voluntary movements.
The onset of the affection, although
commonly gradual, as we have said, is
in some cases very sudden, %followoing
some great mental or physical shock.
In later stages Of the disease the
muscles of the body become more or
less stiffened, the back is bent, the
head is inclined forward and the va
vious segments of the arms and legs
are slightly fexed one on the other.
No Known Cure for 1t.
The rigidity of the muscles of the
face gives to the countenance a fixed
expression Of sadness or Indifference,
or it may be Of bad temper. There is
a peculiar gait, something like that Of
a drunken man, who has to walk very
fast, or even run, to overcome his ten-
dency to fall forward.
Shaking palsy is seldom cured, but
1t does not always get worse, and may
continue for years without apparent
change one way or the other. The gen.
eral condition of the patient is usually
below par, and the chief indication of
treatment is, therefore, to improve the
nutrition by tonics and a generous
diet. Some relief to the constant and
fatiguing tremor may be obtained by
the patients making slow voluntary
movements, or by massage.

A Trick with Dominoes.

Cause a set of dominoes to be shut
fled together as much as any Of the
company may desire. You propose to
leave the room in which the audience
is assembled, and you assert that from
your retreat, be it where it may, you
can teal the two numbers forming the
extremes Of a line composed of the
entire set, according to the rules es-
tablished for laying one domino after
another in the draw game. All the
magic consists in taking up and car
rying away, unknown to everyone, one
domino (not a double), taken at haz-
ard, for the two numbers on it must
be the same as those on the ends of
the two outer dominoes. This expert
ment may be renewed by taking each
time a different domino, which, OF
course, changes the numbers to be
guessed.

Human Nature Exempllaed.

Human Nature Exemplified.
An Atchison father who has a lazy
worthless son sent him adrift on Sat-
urday at noon, saying he never want
ed to Sc him again. The young mans
mother carried on in a pitiful way, but
the father was memorable, the young
man must get out and shift for him
self. The young man went away say
ing he would return a rich man some
day and make his father ashamed OF
himself? His mother said he was q
noble boy, and swooned. That night
at 6 o'clock the kitchen door opened
softly, and the young man came in,
carrying a small armful Of wood. When
supper was ready he took his usual
place at the table. and ate with his &C
customed appetite. The father said
nothing, but the mother waited on her
son with unusual care, as though he
had returned with the fortune he had
talk9d about at noon.-Atchison Globe.

Probably the customers know that tAs
government cannot refuse to accept
any coin Of the realm, even though It
be Of copper, while 1t would be q diff
acult matter to have the coppers ac-
cepted anywhere else. It is the custom
Of the postoffice, too, when 1t has any
of these coppers on hand, to give them
out in change, instead Of giving an odd
1-cent stamp, when necessary to make
the requisite change. The banks OF
the city frequently get the copper PEN
MES in n way and another, but 1t
has not been their policy to ever give
out pennies in change. The banks
now, as always, throw off the odd cent
or the odd 2 cents and charge up as
5 cents the odd 3 or 4 cents. When
pennies get into the bank they are
placed in the vault and allowed to ac-
cumulate. If the banks of Butte put
into circulation all the copper pennies
they have accumulated there would be
quite a sprinkling of copper pennies
in Butte, without the necessity of the
importation of a car load or two OF
them. Every visitor to Butte from the
east, and almost every Butte man re-:
turning from a trip east, brings back
in his pocket one or more copper pen
MES, and these add to the total OF
coppers now on hand in the city ready
to be put into active circulation as
soon as ONE merchant %advertises that
he will give pennies out in change at
his store. There will be general re-
greet when the copper cent gains its
foothold in Butte, but 1t is bound to
come, and when here 1t can never be
eradicated. But it is bound to come.
1t is more persistent than the Russian
thistle. The copper penny has nearly
completed the conquest of the great
west. From Chicago it travelled to
Omaha and st. Paul. Firmly intrenched
in st. Paul as a basis Of operations, it
has been slowly but surely conquering
it's way toward Montana. It flooded
Western Montana and then penetrated
the Dakotas. Information is that it
has gained a foothold in Eastern Mon
tana and can be seen occasionally as
far into Montana as Billings and Liv-
ingston. furthermore, the copper
penny jumped from the east clear to
the western coast and can be found in
several Of the coast towns. Thus the
small remaining territory in which the
copper penny is still unknown is
threatened by invasion from both the
east and the west. Butte will have
to make up its mind to accept it later
if not sooner.
