Quoting securities on the Savannah
Cotton Exchange has proved a popu-
lar way of bringing the prices of local
issues to an official basis. A finely
mounted board has been received at
the Exchange to be used for securities
and it will be placed in a conspicuous
position on the floor. Commenting on
the new service yesterday a we'll known
member of the Exchange said he had
been watching the new boards, and
considered that the work of quoting
was being done satisfactorily.

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet and firm and
unchanged, with sales by factors of
36 bales. There was nothing to change
the local coloring either way. Receipts
were 4174 against 1871 last year, and
56G year before last. The ports got
IS 700 against $500 last year. In the
f. o. b. market the demand was fairly
good, though not of an urgent nature
from any quarter. Basis good mid
ding was currently quoted at 10Ac.
The following were the official spot
quotations at the close of the market

SOME RAPID TRANSIT

Some things move rapidly. Yester- day President Roosevelt formally re- ceived M. Phillipe Bunau-Varilla, the duly accredited envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of Pan- anna to the United States The recep- ton of the minister marked the birth of the new Republic of Panama into the family of nations and paves the way for negotiations between the United States and the republic precisely as they may be conducted between any two sovereign nations. Tn receiving the minister the President said: In &C., cordance with its long established rule this government has taken cognizance of the act of the ancient Territory of Panama in reasserting the right of self control, and, seeing in the recent events on the Isthmus an unopposed express sion of the will of the people of Pan- anna, and the confirmation of their de- clared independence by the institution of a de facto government, republican in form and spirit, and alike able and resolved to discharge the obligations pertaining to sovereignty, we have en- tered into relations with the new repub- lie.
 Yesterday MT. Livermore, of Califor- mia, arose to a question of personal privilege and began by saying: "Indi- cations are that in the Panama Colom- bia matter the President is invading a constitutional prerogative of the con- gress, and it seems of high importance to the dignity and authority of this house that doubt be dispelIed forth with" Doubt was dispelled forthwith by the upholding of a point of order raised against MT. Livern1ore.

favored killing him and selling his claws to The Eagles, a society whose members have actually created market for eagles claws, to be worn, I understand, as insignia. The other man, however, thought that more money could be made by selling the bird alive to a dealer, so it was sold alive. The first dealer sold it to second, and with tl.is man I first saw him. And a sorry sight he was, with broken and be = raggled tail, and wings raw from con- tinually plunging at the bars of his cage. But the fire of his eye was un- quenched, and it was easy to see that nothing but death would ever quench it. His hoary head thrown back, feet set wide apart, and with his splendid bill half open, ne defled the dealer to lay a hand upon him.
 Five minutes later he was mine and in half an hour he was on his way to a new home. I kept him for some time, and, although he became somewhat calmer. I could neither tame him nor break him of his habit of fighting the bars of his cage. So one day. I took him out upon a hilltop, and from the summit of a rock, tossed him into the air. For an instant he sank, but then his mighty wings smote the air, and he arose, and I watched him gradually fade away on the horizon, once more an emblem of liberty.

THE GREAT DAY,

To-day is the great day of the col- lege year in New Haven, and the day of the supreme test of the educational systems of two great universities. We have faith to believe that that of Yale will demonstrate it's superiority, and perhaps it's immense superiority, by kicking the stuffing out of that of Princeton in a way beautiful to behold by all who see through blue spectacles and hard for those to witness who see with other eyes. The indications are for a good day, great crowd, and much enthusiasm, 1nitigated at the end of the game by the complete collapse of the Princeton enthusiasm.

NOT COTTON ENO UG 1T,

It is evident that there is not cotton enough. and that there will not be enough for some time. Increase in cot ton acreage and yield has not been keeping pace with the multiplication of spindles. The Ellison figures show that during the past year alone the spinning power of the world has been increased by nine hundred and eighty one thousand spindles. A supply of raw material is not at hand to meet so rapidly growing a demand, and the present general tendency is rather to reduce crop estimates. This being the case and the worlds desire if not it's actual need, for cotton fabrics remain ing at least what it has already come to be. in a few years we may look to see such an increase in the cultivation Of the cotton plant as will give a pro- duction sufficient to restore the equilib- rum. But those few years, as the Providence Journal points out, will nec- essarily be years of more or less dis comfort for cotton manufacturers, cot- ton operatives and wearers of cotton clotll. Manufacturers, though probably able through reductions in labor cost and advances in goods prices to make a little profit on such business as they do. will have to restrict operations be-

low the capacity of their plants and submit to losses on idle machinery. Operatives will have to accept a. gener- ally lower level of wages, whether caused by direct cuts or their own in- creased competition with themselves under reduced opportunities for employ ment. The general public will have to be mere economical in the use of cot ton cloth, making garments of less ma terial and renewing them less often. This economy, while doubtless annoying, is perfectly feasible without any real suffering, for everyone who stops to think will agree that with cotton cloth as cheap and plentiful as it has been of late years much of it has been very wastefuily used.

 ly antiseptic action, the hygroscopic property of the salt caused the effects of each watering to last for much longer time and the surface of the road way was believed by some to be more compact and cohesive than when fresh water was employed. Besides, the re- trenchments, the new system presented direct source of revenue in the de- mand by many private householders for 2 salt water service to their bath rooms so that they might enjoy the luxury Of sea bathing at home.
 But a few years experience has un- fortunately brought about no small disillusionment; the owners of carriages complain of the destructive action of the salt mud on the varnish and paint, and the tradesmen complain of the in jury inflicted on goods of all kinds by the salt dust and it's subsequent deli quescence. Lastly, the users tfem- selves, the local authorities and their customers, have discovered that the salt water exerts such a corrosive and generally destructive action on metal

The aLan and Ihe Pig.

Within the town of. Leanville a man once
 owned pig, Who fed it with the sole intent to have 1t
 fat and big. He fed it almost all the day, and when the
 right was on, The pen was strewn with fattening food,
 that is, good yellow corn. But piggie would not fatter get than when
 he first had bought him, So thinking he'd get rid of him, an lad"
 farmer brought him; Now take this pig" said he to him, fuse
 all thy farming skill.'' And make a great big hog of him, till he's
 fat enough to kill" "And when you think he's fat enough, you
 understand, I see, Bring me one half, the other half's for you
 and family" Next morning at the townsman's door stood
 the farmer full of glee, Saying, Here's your half; that pig think,
 was fat enough for me-"

THE GOOD THAT COMES FROM 4
 YAwN

YAWN.
 A good, wide open-mouth yawn is splendid thing for the whole body. A yawn Is natures demand for rest. Some people think they only yawn be- cause they are sleepy. But this Is not SO You yawn because you are tired You may be sleepy also, but that is not the real cause of your yawning. You are sleepy because you are tired, and you yawn because you are tired.
 Whenever you feel like yawning. just yaNn. Don't try to suppress it because you think 1t is impolite to yawn. Put your hand over your mouth if you want tc. but let tke yawn come. And if you are where you can stretch at the same time that you yawn, just stretch and yawn. This is Natures way of stretch ing and relaxing the muscles.
 Don't be afraid to open your mouth wide and yawn and stretch whenever you feel like 1t. Indeed, if you are very tired, but do not feel like yawning. there is nothing that will rest you so quickly as to sit on a straight back chair and lifting the feet from the floor push them out in front of you as far as possible, stretch the arms, put the head back, open the mouth wide and make yourself yawn.
 Those tense nerves will relax. the contracted muscles will stretch and the whole body will be rested. Do this two or three times when you are tired and see what 1t will do for you.-From Ned ical Talk.
