virein er Faunce's Cotton Letter.


 NEW ORLEANS. Nov 3.-If everybody wants the raw material. as recently demon st ated, then the decline on contracts is na- tuially but temporary. and due principally to profit taking. A large amount of contracts have been sold since the beginning of the week with the hopes of replacing these tracts at lower figures. It is to be noticed that some strong interests are quietly absorbing these offerings to enormous extent and the sooner this Is generally recognized the vance. Of course the demand or lack of de- mand for spot cotton forms the only basis on which to buy sell contracts We learn of many instances where the country trade have been advised of the OVer-bought condition of the speculative contract markets. red lan- tern" it Cotton will go just high as the necessities of those who have made contracts ahead for the manufactured goods can be depended upon There Is yet large amount of cotton to be bought and spinners TOW realize this fact generally. They will find that those who delay in making purchases will have to pay higher later on. In writing ciTcu- lar letters day after day and year in and year out, one cannot always be original or avoid repeating arguments that have been previously used. However, when we do so. it Is done with the intention of keeping those who do not keep fin touch with what Is going on informed disposed toward us and realizing our good in tentions will make allowances acordlngly.

THE JOKE OF A KING.
Historic Hoax Perpetrated by Gusta-

Historic Hoax Perpetrated by Gusta-
vus IIl. of Sweden.
King Gustavus III. of Sweden had
been frequently invited to the little
court Of Schwertn. In 1888 he paid a
visit to Germany and as soon as the
Duchess of Mecklenburg heard of his
approach she prepared fetes in his
honor But Gustavus, who disdained
the petty courts of the small rulers,
sent two of his attendants-a page
named Peyron, and Desvouges, a valet
who had formerly been an actor-to be
entertained by the duchess. The two
personated the king and his minister.
Baron Spare, and sustained the char
acters throughout. They accepted as
their due all the homage meant for
their master, danced with the Mecklen-
burg ladies who were presented to
them, and Peyron went so far as to
ask one of the ladies for her portrait.
Meantime Gustavus was enjoying him
self elsewhere in secret.

out his notebook and went over each
item, checking it off, and saw that he
had made all the purchases he intend

aside the feeling that there was some
thing missing. He again took out his
notebook and rechecked every item,
but still found no mistake. He did
this several times but could not rid
himself of the idea that he must have
forgotten something. When he
reached home and drove up to the
house his daughter came out to meet
him, and, with a look Of surprise,
asked: why, papa, where is moth

THE TRAINING OF A CHILD.
Several Important Points That Must
BE Remembered.

To teach "a child with success re-

ment and gentleness. There are, how
ever, three other important points that
must ever be foremost in the mind
of the teacher.
First of all, she must remember that
to teach is to impart instruction; not
to find fault with ignorance, with lack
Of comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, poor teaching
Is to blame. Second, there is the
infexible rule that requires teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be-
fore giving it, in order to present 1t
In an interesting and ineligible way
Third, there is the ever present dam

teacher must always be on guard.

Muscular Christianity.

Prof Bryce, in his biographical
study Of Bishop Fraser, Of Manches-
ter, tells of a clergyman of Fraser's
diocese who had knocked a man down
who had insulted him. The bishop
wrote him a letter of reproof, point
ing out that exposed as the Church Of
England was to much criticism on all
hands, her ministers ought to be very
careful of their demeanor. The Of
fender replied by saying: II must re-
gretfully admit that, being grossly
insulted, and forgetting in the heat Of
the moment the critical position Of
the Church Of England, / did knock
the man down, Aetc." Fraser was de-
lighted with the turning Of the tables
on himself, and afterward invited the
clergyman to visit him.

II Is One OF the Great Facts Of Our
Literature.
sThe inquest" on Robert Burns was
concluded long ago, but from time to
time the findings are reviewed by crit
ical writer's, as in recent symposium,
says Golfers. A curious result thus
chances From every such inquisition
the poet energies the more radiant and
triumphal-the critics are lost in the
splendor they have evoked. It is one
thing to make literature; it is another
and quite different thing to write about
literature and the makers thereof. This
is a truism, and yet the distinction is
often confused, especially by the writ
ers Of criticism. Burns has survived
several generations of critics, many
Of whom made a vain bid for remem-
brance by their praise or dispraise Of
him. The vitality of his fame is one
of the great facts of our literature.

All tradesmen being liable to the
incursions and depredations Of rats
1t may not be out Of place to mention
a method of getting rid of these pests
which is recommended by a cores
pondent of the Birmingham Daily
Post. This consists in thinning down
with petroleum ordinary slow-drying
tar varnish such as bedstead makers
and japanners use and pouring the
mixture into the runs OF the rats.
The vermin are said to loathe the
smell of the stuff, and will do any
thing to get clear of it. A still more
effective plan is said to be to catch
rat alive, dip it up to the neck in the
varnish and turn it loose. Its fell
lows will fee from 1t as from the
dell. The dipping process is said to
be harmless to the rat. But some
ironmongers may not care to dip a
live rat up to its neck =
