The boomerang, the Australian ma

referred to in all reference works as an
instrument unknown until after the
discovery of Australia, was doubtless
known before the time OF Christ. Pliny
the elder. contemporary Of our Sa-

History" respecting an instrument
made OF the wood of the aquifolia:
.If a staff made of this wood, when
thrown at an animal. from want OF
strength In the person throwing falls
short of the mark, 1t will come back

so remarkable are the properties Of

1t is altogether probable that the

A MOTHER or COURAGE.


The OLD Lady's First Football G@me
and Her BOY.
She sat In the grand stand waiting
for her first football game TO begin.
Her boy had played it ever since she
could remember, aud now he had made
his varsity team, which was her var

On either side as a bodyguard to her

would have been with the prettiest girl

She smiled with motherly pride
when she picked him out of the squad
of red sweatered .'huskies' which at
length trotted out on the field. She
wiped away tear when Columbia

when playing dream games In his
sleep.
She did not faint when he tackled
too hard and failed to rise, although
his white face, with a streak of red
blood across the forehead, was staring
up at her.
You can't hurt my boy" she said,
with confidence. He's just doing that
to get wind" So 1t proved.
He was up and at 1t harder than
ever within the time limit. The Itha-
cans gained five through tackle and
lost as many more yards trying to
round the end Then something hap

A sturdy youngster shot out of the
tangled elevens and dashed down the
field toward the goal of the blue ana

whitewash and finally was over the
last one, the whole pack at his heels.

SPIRITS OF TURPENTINE--Th
steady improvement in the demand for
turpentine was more marked to-day,
when there was a small scrambling for
supplies which foreshadowed a rush for
the article. Domestic exporters are re-
ceiving orders for stuff which they
were eager to fill, and coupled with
this came spirited demand from prac-
tlcally all the foreign exporters, who
are believed to be in the market for
large supplies for prompt shipment and
to fill contracts
At the Board of Trade the market
opened firm at 4S1kc, sales 142 casks
and closed firm at 49Ac, sales so casks
After the closing it was reported that
the inquiry was more general than
during the forenoon, and that the Of
ferings were about wiped up The re-
ceipts are small, and the trade have
staring them in the face the POSSIBLE
ity of small crop compared to last
year. The opening of the season gave
no better promise than a crop equal to
that Of last year, and since the open
ing, by the most unfavorable cold and
wet weather, operations have been hin
dered and the prospects for a full Weld
lessened. Savannah factors to-day re-
ceived 61S casks, and 500 casks for

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, May 21.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy at a decline of 11129
points under very weak Liverpool ca
bles, heavy estimates for the days re-
ceipts, and continued favorable wealth
er. Following the call there was a
brief period of uncertainty, then came
rally under bull support, which, how
ever, was confined almost entirely to
the new crop options. After this the
receipt of the closing liverpool ca
bles rejecting a demoralized condition
in that market with the near months
net, 191A@22 points lower, and the late
at a decline of T09 points. This brought
about one of the most excited and
heaviest realizing movements the mar
ket had yet witnessed. In the course
of ten minutes or so July had sold
down to 0.s0c, August 10. 62c and Sep
TENDER to 9.75c. All classes of trad
ers seemed to be selling, and the cot
ton apparently was absorbed by GER
tain bear interests who found substan-
tial profits in the decline Of over so a
bale from Wednesdays close. Then
speculation quieted. For a time the
market was comparatively inactive.
Prices fluctuated narrowly with the
bull leaders showing increasing dis
position to support as he found offer
ings subsiding. A rally ensued which
carried prices upward from 8 to IL
points, but the estimates for to-mor-
rows receipts were heavy, the inte-
rior movement was bearish, and from
all points a decreasing demand for
spot cotton was reported. 1t was also
stated that owing to the highly specu-
lative atmosphere surrounding the mar
ket, spot dealers were finding difficult
ty in obtaining suitable cash advances,
and this encouraged the bears who
again began hammering values. The
bulls became less aggressive and values
gradually developed a declining ten
dency, prices being forced downward
slowly at first, but with gathering ra-
pidity toward the end of the session,
and at the close they had reached a
new low level for the day. The mar
ket was finally irregular, closing easy
at net loss of 27@55 points, July clos
ing at 10.T0c, showed a loss of over
$3.50 a bale since last night. August
closed at 10.47c, September at $3.50,
october at 9.2Tc, and May at IL .60c
Total sales of futures were estimated
at 100000 bales. Port receipts were
5,572 bales, against 1881 last year. The
Southern spot market was quiet and
generally unchanged, while the New
York market was 10 points lower, at
IL .O5c, and spot cotton in Liverpool was
IL points, with sales there of 5000.

COTTON.

Spot cotton closed quiet and firm and
unchanged. with the demand moderate.
No pressure, either to buy or sell, was
shown. In spot circles the feeling is
that consumers may withhold, if pos
sible pending a settlement of specu-
lative disturbances, which may admit
of their obtaining cotton at lower
prices. The receipts here were 270
bales, against 265 last year. The ports
got 5,572 bales, against 1881 last year

ing for little and the oldest and exper-
fenced and wealthiest people have been
simply swamped, so far as regards the
matter of astuteness in foreseeing what
has come to pass. The impossibility
of prices going higher had been preach
ed all over the country until the coun-
try were impressed with the wisdom
of selling short and have been scram-
bling to cover and confronted with a
crop prospect so poor as possible to
make covering fashionable for some
time.
After the opening large blocks of
July were thrown on the market and
the whole list weakened, the selling be-
ing so extensive as to suggest the pos
sible creation of a new short interest
before a great while, although 2
cents decline was on the programme,
according to the wise heads on the bear
side. The sharp reaction was largely
due to the poor showing in Liverpool
market. At all events the old crop
months were numerically pounded,
and while the new crop materially suf-
fered thereby, the latter found consid-
cradle favor and it was felt they were
worthy of support under existing I'M
certain crop conditions. Gables were Z
