Baxter G. Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, March 1.-The cotton market
was weak this morning. There was a de-
cline at Liverpool much greater than
looked for and private cables were any
thing but assuring. Buyers at the close
of last week did not like the looks of
things and were anxious to sell out.
The market has had good rise and
there was therefore no great disappoint
ment because of the halt this morning.
The surroundings are as bullish as ever.
but the more cautious element feel 1t is
best to wait awhile before carrying prices
up too rapidly. 1t is felt that everything
favors resumption of the upward move
ment. The Texas reports today indicated
such heavy floods that there is every like
lihood of a moderate movement this week
and for some time to come. The in sight
figures at the close of February are 1885,
900 against S.SS6000 last year
1t is still hard to see how the crop Is
going to exceed last year. since there is
very little probability of the much talked
of unpicked fields cutting much figure
for the rest of the season. Port receipts.
1900, against 26000.

Distance Lends Enchantment.

In one of Mr.. Chase's classes in
painting was young chap who could
not paint pictures much better than
he could save money, and the allow
ance given to him by his father was
very often gone before he knew it. One
day Mr.. Chase was talking to the
class on the subject of perspective, and
this particular student did not appear
to get the idea very clearly. To make
it plain Mr.. Chase went back to the
rudiments to get a good start.
You understand" he said, that the
farther you get away from any object
the smaller it appears:"
The young fellow shook his head.
NO" he replied doubtfully. Pm not
so sure about that"
Mr.. Chase was provoked and not a
little surprised at such ignorance and
said so.
Its all right as to some things, re-
spondcd the student, but not all. Now,
there's a ten dollar bill. The farther
l get away from that the bigger it ap-
pears"

CrinOline.

Crinoline had its origin in woven
fabric composed of hair and linen (fax)
warp; hence the name. This fabric
was first used for shoes, then for bon
nets, the word being coined in 1880.
AS this article was costly and did not
extend the dress to the desired bulk
light steel hoops were fitted with tape
upon the bird cage principle. So popu-
lar was the crinoline in 1862 that the
rolling of the steel developed great
trade in Sheffield, and one firm alone
averaged an output of from ten to fif-
teen tons a week. Several deaths Oc-
curing by fire through the use of
crinoline killed the fashion, but DR..
Richardson in his "Field of Diseases"
gives an instance of a lady escaping
from the effects of being struck by
lightning by the hoops acting as con-
ductors.

In Abyssinia one method of doing
the hair that Is adopted by warriors is
to stroll into the market place, buy a
pound of butter and, putting it upon
the top of the hair, stand still while
the sun arranges things. When the
hair Is thus dressed with melted butter
the Abyssinian knows that fate cannot
or will not touch him. He is picture
of well dressed elegance done in oils.
Another style is to tress the hair. and
every tress means something. A young
warrior with a head of hair untressed
is of no account. He has not yet killed
a man. When, however, he has done
so all his hair is shaved off except
enough to make one tress, which is of
the same Specification as notch on a
pistol stock. After that every man he
kills entities him to add another tress
until as conquering hero of 100 tress-
es he is a formidable man to try con-
illusions with.

Old Clothes Ornaments.

The rich are not unthrifty. That
probably explains why they are rich.
You have been told of the wealthy
wives in our New York Faubourg st.
German who after wearing a gown
twice or three times at most sell 1t to
a certain Sixth avenue dealer in sec
ondhand clothes for about one-stxth or
its original cost. Women in moderate
circumstances who know this dealer
keep themselves in finest regalia at
reasonable outlay. Rich men are more
particular and less thrifty than rich
women. They despise the "ole clos
man and prefer to hand down their
cast offs to servants to do with as
seemeth good to them. But many
parlor ornament in swell houses is
bought with old clothes; many new
not or kettle in my lady's kitchen Is
the result of barter with the peddler.-

Christian Heinecker was born at Lu-
beck on the 9th of February, 1921.
When only ten months old he could re-
peat every word spoken to him. AT
twelve months of age he had memo
riZed all the principal events in the
Pentateuch. Before he had finished
his second year of existence he had
learned all the historical parts of both
the Old and the New Testament AT
the age of three he could reply correct
ly to all questions put to him regard
ing universal history and geography,
and in the same year he learned to
speak both Latin and French.
In his fourth year he employed his
time in studying religions, especially
the history of the Christian church.
He was not only able to glibly repeat
all that he had read, but was also able
to reason with considerable of judg-
ment and TO give his own opinion of
things in general. The king of Den
mark wished to see this wonderful
child, so he was taken to Copenhagen.
After his return to Lubbock he learned
to write and was beginning on the
study of music and mathematics; but.
his constitution being very weak, he
took down and died on June 27, 1925,
aged four years, four months and
twenty-one days. What a wonderful
record for such a short life!

NATURES OWN CURE
Hyomei Cures Catarrh Without
Dangerous Dragging of the Stonn-

Not until Hyomei was discovered
has it been possible to truthfully say
that a remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through
the Hyomei inhaler for few minutes
four times day, and during that time
every particle of air taken into the
lair passages and lungs is impregnated
with the germ-killing and health-giv-
ing Hyomei. 1t is the only treatment
that cures catarrh.
Stomach drugging often causes dis
ordered digestion or brings on some
other diseases and never makes a per-
manent cure of catarrh. Hyomei not
only kills the germs in the throat and
nose but penetrates to the minutest
air cells in the lungs and enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs in the blood. 1t frees the mu-
cous membrane from poisonous mi
crobes and gives perfect health.
A complete outfit costs but S1.00,
and includes an inhaler, dropper and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
G. A. Parcher has so much faith in
the merit of Hyomei that he agrees to
return the money to any purchaser
who NAV be dissatisfied.

The HOOpOO Bird .

The hoopoo is essentially a bird of
the desert. A pretty tradition regard
ing the crest upon this birds head
tells that the crest was gift from
King Solomon in gratitude for shelter
from the midday sun provided by a
fight of hoopoos. The first decoration
was a crown of gold, but as this
brought unwelcome attentions from
fowlers the monarch changed the
crown to a crest of feathers.
The characteristic note of the hoo
poo is produced as follows: The bird
swallows as much air as possible and
then taps its beak upon the ground.
The escaping air produces the "hoo-
hoo-hoo" which has earned for the
bird its popular name.-London Mail.

The spotted sandpiper and killdeer
plover and most of the other snipe and
plover lay four eggs at clutch. The
eggs are arranged in the nest or on the
bare ground with their small ends to-
gether, and as they are pyriform in
shape they join in to perfection. The
eggs of the snipe and plover groups
are proportionately exceedingly large
for the size of the bird, and the saving
of space by this arrangement undoubt-
eddy answers purpose.

discoursed sweet music during his ex-

ing recompensed for his services with
the sum of IL pence per diem. When

Henry VIII we hear that before ev-
