NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Aug. 1.-The cotton market
opened quiet and firm with prices one
to four points higher on light general
buying, then turned quite strong and adj
vaneed rapidly on a scare of shorts, based
largely upon the bullish condition indi-
Gated by figures of the Journal of Com
merce. The figures of the latter were
taken to foreshadow an equally bullish
statement by the bureau next Monday.
Speculation was fairly active during this
squirt in prices, and whereas early English
cables were not attractive from either
standpoint, that market hardened and
sent buying orders here. The whole
character of the market changed over
to the bear side within the first hour on
official reports of clearing weather over
the entire western belt and of continued
showers to heavy rains over the central
and eastern belt. A sharp reaction of
to 8 points followed with liquidation
and bear selling quite active. But still
later prices slowly worked back to the
highest figures of the day with covering
once more a feature. The close was
quiet with prices net two to five points
higher. Total sales were about 100000
bales.

WhOOping Cough.

A woman who has had expert ence with this disease tells how to prevent any dangerous conse- quences from it. She says: Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby boy being only three months old, and owing to our giving them Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, they lost none of their plump ness and came out in much bet ter health than other children whose parents did not use this remedy. Our oldest little girl would call Justify for cough syr- up between whoops. Jessie Pinkey Hall, SpringvIlle, Ala. This remedy is for sale at Cot ter's drug store.

Spanked the Wrong Boy.

A Detroit man was travelling with his son, and wishing to transact some business with the conductor, he said; Now, Willie, I am going to be away just few minutes, You sit right here and don't move a bit. If you do I'll spank you good and hard. So don't stick your head out of the window. You might have it taken off if you do: then you wouldn't have any head, and you'd get a spanking besides.
 The father went away to find the conductor. After a few min utes he came back.

A Pathetic Excuse.

Teachers in the public schools often find laughter and tears close together in their expert ences with pupils. In one of the West Side schools teacher in the primary grades had had great difficulty in impressing on her pupils the necessity of bring ing written excuses when, for good reasons, they were absent or tardy. She even went so far as to call on the parents of some of the pupils and explain the matter to them personally. One of the families on which she had the hardest work to impress the necessity of sending excuses was that of a little boy named Isa dore. His parents had been in this country but a short time and did not understand the American customs, but finally the teacher, after several calls, succeeded in impressing on them the impor- tance of what she asked.
 Two or three weeks later Isa- dore was absent for three days. The teacher made up her mind that something serious must be the matter. The boy was a

bright and willing pupil and she had become much interested in him. Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, another pupil, whose parents lived in the same block with IsadoTe, came up to the teachers desk when he reached school in the morning and handed up a stained and dirty little piece of paper.

s'Dad.'' y

An exchange says: '"There IS class of men who are seldom, if ever, appreciated at their true value. In this enlightened age they are commonly called Dad It Is dad that humps himself, year in and year out, on the farm, in the office or workshop, in order that his boy or girl may go away to school, and upon their return that the boy may have a fine horse and top buggy and the girl costly piano. It is dad that huStleS and cultivates great callOused knots on his hands and becomes stO0p-shoul- dered in order that his offspring may revel in luxury and make tarnal fools of themselves. His sons and daughters have learned at his expense to despise his old fashioned ways. They secretly laugh at the style of his Sunday coat and bell-crOwned hat. On Sunday, when his daughter has company and he would like to sit in the parlor and listen to the music, he is given in various ways to understand that his presence is not desirable, and the poor old man goes out into the kitchen and stays the re- mainder of the afternoon. God help the son and daughter who goes back on dad. In the cata- logue of low down cussedness, that of ingratitude to ones pa rents is the most contemptible.

Believes in Abstinence.

The mother of two young sons considered it her duty to start them in the way they should travel through life. Therefore she was doing her best to make the wine cup a thing to be ab- horred. To this end she be- longed to the Good Templars, the w. c. T. U. and any other temperance organization she could discover. She also ceased not, day or night, to preach her belief to her boys and also to announce it from various lecture platforms. She really was a temperance advocate.
 In the course of time third son was added to the family. A day or two after the event a friend of the family stopped the ten year old boy to inquire into his opinion of his new brother.
 ''So you have got a Laby brother down at your house, Charley?"
 '"Yes'm."
 Aren't you pleased with him2''
 "Yes'm. Rather had sister, though, " and he shifted uneasily to the other foot and looked for chance to escape

Cloths or Clothes.

One learns many strange uses and misuses of things at country inns, but let us hope that the following experience related by friend of mine as having hap pered to himself, is rare one He had gone to bed in an Irish inn, bidding the landlady to have him called at $ o'clock. At 6, however, next morning she knocked at his door.

sers sticking in through the window. He appeared to be more outside than inside, and whenever a telegraph pole whizzed by and looked especially close he would make a lunge for it as if trying to catch it.
 The father did not hesitate. He made grab for the boy just as the latter made a lunge for pole. He pulled him iii by the heels, laid him over his knees, and began to fulfill his promise. The little fellow yelled and yelled until he almost drowned out the noise of the train; but during a Hull in the uproar the father heard a snicker behind him.
