COTTON MARKET
 IS STILL STRONG
Tremendous Headway Gained
 Soon After Midday
CLOSED STEADY AND HIGHER
Much Stronger Conditions In Southern Spot Markets Were More Than an Offset to Heavy Re-
 ceipts at Ports.

New York. September 1S.--The cotton market opened steady with prices un- changed to points lower. this being an indifferent response to weak cables and failures of the predicted old wave to reach the western belt. In fact the latter factor appeared to be totally unfounded, for the early weather chart gave mild temperatures pretty much over the en- tire western portion of the United States Scattered showers were reported in the central and eastern portion of the coun- try, said by private telegrams to be fla vorable to the late crop.
 After a lengthy period of wavering, the whole market rallied toward midday and in the early afternoon gained tremendous upward headway on bad scare of prom inent Philadelphia, Southern and foreign shorts. The bull leaders made the most of this stampede and rushed January up to s.S0. other options following at their normal differences. The commission houses and room leagues sold out in the first hour in expectation of a slump later on which new ventures could be made to advantage. Speculation in a feverish way was very active and general. The Liverpool market was weak and irregular all day. closing at about bottom. Belief that a stampede of the shorts there will occur tomorrow caused local traders near the close to take the bull side. Predic- lions for large export clearances in the near future and much stronger eondi- tions in Southern spot markets were more than an offset to heavy receipts at the ports and interior towns.
 The market at the close was steady, with prices net 8 to points higher. Total sales estimated at 650,OO0 to 75o,000 bales, the bulk of which were January con tracts.

Lnid ID 10 the God Pam.

We use the word panic, or panic fear,
for a needless or ill-grounded fright.
What Marshal Sake terms lie occur hui
main, is no other than fear occasioned
by surprise. 1t is owing to that cause
that an ambush is generally so de-
structive; intelligence of it before
hand renders it harmless. The follow
ing curious relation speaks of the ORR
gin of the term: ''It sometimes hap
pens with the ancient Greeks, we'll
disciplined, and commonly brave as
their armies are, that body of troops,
without any attack being made or
threatened, would take upon them to
disperse and fly for their lives, leaving
their camps and baggage, throwing
away their arms, running over hill and
dale for days and nights, till their legs
and their fright wore out together.
AS they were philosophers enough to
know that there could be no act with
out motive, they excused themselves
on these occasions by saying that the
god Pan, shaggy and venerable per-
son, with goats feet, had appeared to
them, and that it consequently became
them, as pious persons, to do their ut
most to break their necks in fright;
hence the phrase, panic terror" Mir

GIRLS USED AS MESSENGERS.
Post Omces and Express Offices In
London Find Them More Re-
liable Than Boys.

The recent departure made by the
London post offices in employing girls
as we'll as boys for the express messen-
ger service is meeting with great sue
cess. The girls prove more reliable
than boys. and seem to be quite as able
to stand the strain of the work. There
is no examination to be passed beyond
the fact of knowing the locality thor
oughly. All applicants must be over
IS years of age, have good characters,
be quick walkers, and be thoroughly
healthy. They are expected to walk
with any message which lies within ten
minutes distance of the office to
which they are attached. Beyond that
radius either bus OF underground
railway fare is allowed, says a Lon
don paper.
The receiver of the express message
has to sign a paper stating at what
hour it was delivered. This acts as an
effectual check to all lettering. No
uniform is given to the girl messenger,
but her wages are at the rate of about
Is shillings a week.
This opens a useful means of Iiveli-
hood to young women who dislike the
confinement of indoor work and wish
for more healthy outdoor employ
ment. The competition for vacancies
will doubtless be very keen before
long

WOMAN IRoNwoRKER.
Mrs. Ames-Lynde, a Follower of Tu-
bal Cain, PatrOnized by King
and Mobility.

The village of Thornham, lying be-
tween Hunstanton and Brancaster, is
one of the most interesting spots in
Norfolk. Projecting prominently
from the roof of one of the ordinary
dwellings in the ancient. solitary vii
lage street is strange iron sign rep
resenting two sons of Tubal Cain ham
mering jealousy upon an anvil, with
the inscription ''Thornha.n Iron
works" benea n.
This unpretentious dwelling is prob
ably the strangest ironworks in the
country, if not in the world. Herein
are manufactured, by hand labor,
some of the most beautiful specimens
of ironwork and repousse, from huge
gates to delicate table decorations,
strongly reminiscent of the medieval
times of England.
Another peculiar feature of this
quaint village industry is that it is
controlled by a lady-Mrs. Ames-
Lynde-whO not only superintends the
actual working, but prepares the de-
signs herself. Mrs. Ames-Lynde is a
Jealous artist, with a distinct ten
dency towards the Italian school, and
frequently visits Italy and other con-
tinental art centers for photographs
and material for her designs.
The Thornham ironworks were
started IL years ago, in a very unos-
tentatious manner, in the village
school room, Mrs. Ames-Lynde being
assisted in her work by the schooImas-
ter. The village b0asted at that time
$50 inhabitants, and the leading mem
bers of this little community attend
ed the classes which were held in the
evening two or three times a week.
At first the work was entirely devoted
to bent ironwork, but, artistic though
this industry proved, it was soon dis
covered that to make it thoroughly
interesting the forge would have to
be utilized.
In view of this fact house was Sc
cured for conversion into a workshop,
replete with all the implements Incl
