Cotton.

New York, Nov. 6.-Cotton had weak
start, 16 to 20 points under heavy selling by
longs, who were disheartened by a sensa-
tional holiday adjournment when a sharp
further improvement in Liverpool was eX-
pected on the cold weather news. The weak
ness in Liverpool was due to a bearish crop
estimate issued by Neill. At II a. m. the
market was points off from the top and
20 points off from Mondays closing The
weakness of the first hour became more in
tense toward midday and January sold off
to 1850 before the noon call was announced,

Some Words of Advice to Thin People
Something New in Umbrellas - An
Automatic Pistol-of Interest to Carpet
MISUNDERSTANDING lettings.
a MoRp TO THE THIN.

A great deal has. been written by
physicians for the benefit of fat per,
sons who desire to reduce their
weight, but the disconnected at the
other end OF the scale, who long fol-
more covering on their bones, are very
generally left to discover for them
selves, If they can, a means to gain
their end.
Thinness, like obseity, may be due
to some constitutional defect in nu-
triton, often running in the family, or
it may be a symptom of chronic dis
ease. A gradual loss Of flesh, occur
ring without any apparent cause, in
one who has been in previous good
condition, is a suspicious sign, and
Should lead n to seek a careful med
lcal examination, SO that the u
whatever it may be, may be discovered
and corrected while there is time.
Other persons have always been too
chin, while seeming in other respects
to be in fair health. To such a few
simple directions may be of service.
Thin persons are very apt to be
nervously strung, fretting over trifles,
and borrowing trouble on every pos
sible occasion. They sleep poorly,
dream much, and are always in a state
OF unrest in their waking hours. They
a-o not uncommonly rather large eat
ers, but tneir food is for the most part
meat, and is bolted with very little
m~astication.
1t will be OF little use to modify the
diet in such cases unless the nervous
ness is treated at the same time. The
person must avoid all things which
stimulate the nervous system-excit-
ing novels and theatrical pieces, the
use of tobacco, coffee, tea, and so
forth. The diet should consist largely
of articles of a fattening nature, such
as starchy vegetables, sweets, butter
and fat meats. Meals should be small
but frequent: A certain amount OF
nourishment taken in six portions will
make more flesh than the same
amount divided into three meals.
Chocolate may be substituted for
the morning tea or coffee. Water
should DE drunk in large quantities at
other than meal-times, but fluids
should be taken sparingly with the
meals. Codliver oil, if it does MOI
nauseate, should be taken regularly;
II it cannot be tolerated, cream may
be substituted.
The night hours of sleep should be
long, and a nap may be taken with ad-
vantage in the middle of the day.

POWER LOOM,

1t is reported that an English syn
dicate has purchased from the in
ventor a new method of manufactur-
ing Oriental carpets. The apparatus is
called the Hellensleben power loom,
and the claim is made that it has a ca
pacity of thirty-five square yards per
day, while by hand it takes half a day
to make a square yard. It is also
stated that the material is equal to the
finest Oriental productions. A pecu-
liarlty of it's construction is that a
shuttle is dispensed with, thus permit
ting the utilization of low-grade ma
terial hitherto considered useless. An
other novel feature connected with it
is the process of coloring yarns, which,
in view of its simple character, it is
thought may be adopted il other
branches of textile manufacture.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1901-11-14

shots were fired from it at the rate of
116 a minute. This included the time
of removing two empty magazines and
inserting two loaded ones, so that the
rate OF firing magazine charge. or
eight shots, must of course be consid-
erably faster. In the cur test
the mean deviation of the shots was
shown to be slightly more than O.5
inch at a range of rs feet. 1t was
taken apart in 3A seconds and reas-
sembled in 1917 seconds.
1T also stood the remarkably severe
dust and rust tests very well and gave
every evidence of being the very best
military pistol presented before the
trial board. After being immersed in
a solution of sal ammoniac and al
lowed to remain until thoroughly rust
ed, it was without cleaning fred as a
single breech-loader, and after being
simply oiled, without disassembling,
worked automatically as before. 1t is
thought probable that the United
States army authorities will adopt it
for army use, in which case it will be
manufactured here"

Business and Boards.

Whether a New Yorker wears a
mustache, side whiskers or a full
beard, or undertakes to keep his face
ing to do with the demands of indi-
vidual taste or good judgment, says
the New York Times. If a meeting of
physicians at the Academy of Medicine
in Forty-third street is fully attended
it is almost always a safe wager that
there will be less than ten men in the
room who do not wear full boards, and
the chances are completely against
there being over three clean-shaven
men present. At the Bar association,
on the contrary, a large majority of
the lawyers present at most of the
meetings are clean shaver, and most
of the others only wear mustaches.
Downtown, at a meeting of merchants
in the assembly hall of the chamber
of commerce, nearly every conceivable
variety of sedate, venerable, ornate
and eccentric boards may be seen.
Underwriters are exceedingly dissim-
liar as to their taste regarding whisk-
ers. On the floor of the stock
exchange mustaches and clean
shaver faces divide the honors
almost to the exclusion of boards,
except on occasions when the older
members for some particular rea-
son are attracted to the floor. Bank
ers most often content themselves with
mustaches, but there are many devia-
tons. AS for government employees
in the subtreasury, the assay Office and
the custom house, III neve knows
what to expect.

A young clerk in a wholesale house
has been spending a large portion of
his salary for the last few days buy
ing cigars for friends who are ION" to.
a joke that was perpetrated on him,
says the Albany Journal. His en-
ployer engaged a new boy and as soon
as the boy came to the establishment.
he was instructed in his duties by u
friend, who had been promoted to the.
position of assistant bookkeeper and
given a small Office by himself. About
an hour after the boy started in, the
boss" came around and seeing him
working, asked: HAS the assistant
bookkeeper told you what to do?"
Eyes, SIR was the prompt reply; he
told me to wake him up when l saw
you coming around"

A number of years ago Castle Rising,
in the eastern part of England, was a
flourishing borough, returning two
members to Parliament and possessing
a mayor, one Wakefield, "a character"
who might have stepped out of a nov
elist's gallery. On one occasion the
bearer of some election dispatches ar
rived in hot haste at Rising, and asked
for the mayor. Wakefield was engaged
in the exercise of his high calling,
which happened to be that of a thatch-
er; he was thatching a barn. On hear
ing that his presence was required, he
sent a message to the dispatch-bearcr
to this effect: "If it's John Wakefield
that he wants to see, I'll come down
