New Orleans spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. Jan 3o.-There a good demand for spot cotton today, but buyers were demanding siight concessions, which factors met in some cases. Sales. 5o50 including 750 bales to arrive. Quotations middling and lower grades reduced ll6.
 The future market was very dull On the first call prices about the same as at last nights closing After the call prices held steady with scarcely any change until the light Houston estimate was posted, when the market jumped up 3d4 points. Later in the day the weakness in spots caused an easier feeling in the future market All the previous advance lost and the market closed quiet and unchanged to point lower on the active months, March closed at 7.elq7. e2 and May at 9olaSo2'

USES OF THE LEMON.
New York Herald.

NEW tOIk 1eIalu.
Sick headaches may often be cured by
taking half the juice of one lemon in
q teacupful of strong black coffee.
Headaches from biliousness or torpid
liver sometimes yield to the simple
treatment of half a lemon squeezed into
a cupful of hot water without sugar,
taken night and morning.
Lemon juice and sugar mixed very
thick furnish common household
remedy for coughs and colds. Hot
best form in which the lemon can be
used for such cases is the following /:
Put good sized lem On in the oven and
let it remain until Thoroughly baked.
1t will then be soft all through. Take
it out and add enough sugar or honey
honey is preferable-to make a thick
syrup with the juice. Keep this warm
and take teaspoonfpl every few
minutes.
when you make hot lemonade for
cold remember that glycerine instead
OF sugar will make the remedy more
valuable.
For feverishness and unnatural thirst
soften lemon by rolling on a hard
surface, cut off the top, add sugar and
work the sugar down into the lemon
with fork. Then slowly suck the
lemon.
Lemons in almost any form have a
beneficial effect in cases of rheuma-
tisn,, and are recommended by doctors.
As a remedy for an obstinate corn,
bind a piece of lemon upon it,
renewing every morning for three oil
four days. Then the corn will be easily
removed. Bread crumbs soaked witt
lemon juice may be used for the same
purpose. Rubbing with pieces of lemon
will relieve sore and tender feet. Chill
blains can be cured by rubbing with q
sliced lemon that has been sprinkleo
with salt.
The chapping of the hands by ex
posture to heat or from hot soapsud.
may be prevented by rubbing with
lemon juice; and salt lemon juice will
remove iron rust and nearly all vegeta
| BILE stains.

DUST FROM SAHARA.
Thousands Of Tons Blown From African
Desert to England.

Thousands of Tons Blown From African
Desert to England.
London Telegraph.
In the course OF paper on 1.-THE
Cornish Dustfall of January, 1902, -
read before the Royal Meteorological
Society, at 10 Victoria street, yester-
day, Mr.. II. r. Mill said that since
the Krakatoa eruption in 1888, when
the volcanic dust thrown into the air
made itself apparent for many months
all over the world in long series of
brilliant sunsets, the most remarkable
instance Of far-traveled dust was that
which occurred in March, 1901.
In Italy the rain fell so thickly
charged with red sand that the peasants
took it for blood and became panic
stricken. For three days the dust cloud
travelled northward over central Europe,
substantial traces falling as far north
as the Danish Islands, and instances
in which it reached parts of England
and Scotland had been recorded.
A large quantity of similar dust fell
about January 21st last in Cornwall
over an area of 1000 square miles, and
the conclusion seemed to be that about
this time the atmosphere over the ex-
IRENE West Of Europe consisted of air
which had come from the African
deserts, carrying with it quantity of
fine dust, OF which mere vestige-
some 100, coo tons or so-had been
caught in its fall and carried to the
shores of the Channel. There seemed
to be little doubt that the farmers of
tho west of England had this spring
plowed many tons of the sand OF the
Sahara into their burrows.

1t appears that the ban of the silk
hat first was placed upon mankind by
one John Hetherington, London
halter, in the year 1897. 1t is pleasing to
know that Hetherington was promptly
arrested. A oontemporaneous news
paper account of the affair is as fol-
lows /: "John Hetherington, haber-
dasher, of the Strand, was arraigned
before the Lord Mayor yesterday on a
charge of breach Of the peace and in
citing to riot, and was required to give
bond in the sum of $500. 1t was in
evidence that Mr.. Hetherington, who
is we'll connected, appeared in the
public highway wearing upon his head
what he called silk nat produced \,
a tall structure having shiny luster
and calculated tn frs ten timid people.
AS u matter of tact, the officers of
the crown stated that several women
tainted at the unusual sight, while
children ran screaming, and young
man who was returning from chand-
ler's shop vas knocked down by the
crowd and had his arm broken. For
these reasons the defendant was seized
by the guard and taken to the Lord
Mayor. In extenuation the defendant
claimed that he had a right to appear
in a headdress Of his own designing. "
What was done ultimately with Hether-
ington is not stated. Not that it mat.
tered much; he had done the fearsome
deed; he had invented and introduced
the silk hat, and after that nothing
mattered much.

common among all GLASSES. The subject
of this exercise would generally, with
a piercing scream, fall like a log on
the earth and appear as dead. The
jerks cannot so easily be described.
Sometimes the subject of the jerks
would be affected in one member of the
body and sometimes in the whole
system. When the head alone was
affected it would jerk backward and
forward, or from side to side, SO
quickly that the features could not be
distinguished. When the whols person
was affected have seen person stand
in one place and jerk backward and
forward in quick succession, the head
nearly touch the floor behind and
before. These persons could not account
for it, but some have told me that
these were the happiest moments of
their lives.
Dancing exercises generally began
with the jerks, and was peculiar to
professors of religion. The subject,
after jerking while, began to dance
and then the jerks would cease Such
dancing was, indeed, heavenly to the
spectators. There was nothing in it
to excite levity in the beholder. The
smile of heaven shown on the counte-
nance of the subject, whose whole person
appeared assimilated to angels. The
barking exercises, as opposers con-
temptuously called it, was nothing but
the jerks.
"a person afflicted with the jerks,
especially in the head, would often
make grunt bark from the suddenness
of the jerk. The name of barking
seems to have had its origin from an
old Presbyterian preacher, who had
gone into the woods for private devo-
tions and was seized with the jerks.
Standing near a sapling, he caught
hold of it to prevent his falling, and
as he jerked back and forth he gave a
grunt or kind of noise similar to a
bark, his face turned upward.
THE laughing exercise was frequent,
confined solely to the religious. 1t was
loud, hearty laughter, but it excited
laughter in none that saw it The sub
iect appeared raptnrously solemn, and
excited solemnity in the spectators. II
was truly indescribable. Tbs running
exercise was nothing more than that
persons feeling something of these
bodily agitations through fear at.
tempted to run away and thus escape
from them, but they ran not far before
they fell, where they became SO agi.
tated that they could not proceed any
! further. The singing exercise is more
unaccountable than anything else
saw. The subject, in a very happy state
of mind, would sing most melodiously,
not from the mouth or nose, but entirsl,
in the breast, the sound issuing thence.
1t was heavenly, and none tired o.

What n Volcanic Eruption Looks Like

Nh1t Z" s&hhPfioh Hpphb A<'hts
The thing was indescribable, says
Chief Officer Scott of the Roraima, in
his account of the loss Of that vessel in
Martinique Harbor, nLeslie's Monthly.
1t seemed to whirl earth and sea before
it, Just as the Western cyclones wipe
up the trees and everything in their
paths, but this was an explosive whirl-
wind, setting fire to everything as it
went. Lava, ashes, smoke, everything
combined, swept down on US in an
instant. No railroad train could have
escaped it. Then came darkness blaclker
than night, and as the awful ruin
struck the waters. it hlst rolled along,
setting fire to the shore and the ships.
The Roraima rolled and careened far to
port, then with sudden jerk she went
to starboard, plunging her lee rail far
under water. The masts. smokestack,
rigging, all were swept clean off and
went by the board. We had started to
heave the anchor, but it never left the
mud. There we we're stuck fast in hell.
The darkness was something appalling.
1t enveloped everything and was only
broken by the burning clouds of con-
Stunning gas which gave bursts OF light
out Of the darkness. The ship took
fire in several places simultaneously,
and men, women and children were
dead in few seconds of time.

II we were to examine list of the
men who have left their mark on the
world, we should find that, as rule,
it is not composed of those who were
brilliant in youth, or who gave great
promise at the outset of their careers,
but rather of the plodding young men
who, if they have not dazzled by their
brilliancy, have had the power of
days work in them, who could stay by
task until it was done, and we'll done |;
who have had grit, persistence, COM
mon sense. and honesty. 1t Is the
steady exercise of these ordinary,
homely virtues, united with average
ability, rather than deceptive dis
play of more'showy qualities in youth,
that enables man to achieve greatly
and honorably. So, il we were to at
tempt to make forecast of the sue
cessful men of the future, we should

the entire contents, carefully making

being helpful or instructive. The

value, from the fact that they famil.

important history-while at the same
time possessing some advantages
over the daily newspapers, because
the editors r not compelled to &C.

which may creep into h%urriedly pre-
