What diversity to be sure and of course during the intervening years much of 1t would have passed entirely from the mind did not the written record re- call 1t. Some years ago an aid to the memory was sold which required the writing of a very elaborate record of everything read. It had seven headings under which you reviewed the article or book. First the "Cause'-the reasons why the book was written, and very good one. too. Though I fear no 'raison d'etre" could be found for a great many articles and books.
 Then Its essentials" under which one was to record the leading thought or mo- tive of the author. Associated with" came next, then "Its Incidents" Tt H. lustrates" its effects and conclusions" One will readily agree that when all these headings were thoughtfully answered in conscientiously done the work was thor oughly assimilated. And the effect cer- tainly would be decided improvement of the memory. Such reading Is very different indeed from the hurried, care less scanning of matter after which one is very often unable to give even the salient points of the text. A literary journal" of this character would be a very valuable possession and would se- cure for the reader mind not only we'll fed but nourished and well stored It requires though, a decided effort and a constancy of purpose. but the result well Justifies the time and effort.

Murphy s Co.,. cotton Letter.

Now York March 2.1Cotton opened 3 to 4 noints lower on a continuation of selling by weak holders who lacked pa tience because they failed to see signs ol receipts falling away, and they and out side speculations are still dormant. A more bearish movement was expected next week. the figures for the insight be- ing estimated at possibly 20.000 ahead of last year. As last week. movement was below last year. 1t was thought 1t would cause a stampede of bears, but there was no such thing in sight and holders who have grown weary have been letting go, although there Is nothing to warrant sus- picion that the big bull guns have aban- doned their position. The great difficulty appeared to be that new buyers could not be brought in up to near the close. Five points decline was the record for prices.
 Receipts at the ports estimated today 13 600: last year 14,000 The visible supply of all kinds during the week just closed lost IS. 900, and is now 446.000 vs. 4,075. 900 last year. The Fall River strike settle ment has not shaped the market for dry goods to any extent. The cost of goods has been increased. Dun says that busi- ness under the new condition has not yet been sufficient large to establish quota tion: export sales are still checked by high prices while a helpful feature is the increased demand at southern jobbing centers. Bradstreet reports exceptional activity in the west and northwest, but the rush at Chicago proper Is over in dry goods.

 New York, March 22. There was no change in cotton. The big buying at the close last night to influence cables proved futile. Cables were lower, the South had rain and more cotton was offered At the close last night New Orleans operator bought 10000 bales of July. This put up the price points. This morning the op- ton sold lower than for a week or ten days at 8.76 May sold at STA If the big deal last night could not hold the price, the market is weak. We cannot but feel

Did 1t ever occur to you-and of course l mean the confirmed, the inverterate reader; the one who has reached that frame of mind when he is happiest when reading-what a diversity of articles and books you read? How you turn from the serious to the gay, from the important to the very unimportant? All this Is conscious of course, unless one Is very methodical, planning reader, and few, very few are. If you had not thought be- fore of the many incongruous subjects laid away side by side in the memory cells of your mind, refer to your literary journal and you will really be astonished.
