Prices Soon.
New York, Jan. 21.-Although the
market opened rather quiet. we have
since had a sharp advance and close
at the top for the day. nearly 30 points
over last nights figures. After the
price of the summer months advanced
to 141ac there was some hesitation in
following the advance further, but the
excessive strength of the dry goods
situation, with advancing prices being
paid and an excellent demand, taken
in connection with the very small
stocks of cotton throughout the South,
have forced the conviction that even
present prices may still be cheap in
the long run.
AS the price advances, increased eau
ton Will be necessary, but we con-
tinue to feel that cotton is a purchase
on any slight reaction, and we look for
much higher prices in the near future

July however, failed to rally equally

Mr.. John r. Young returned from

FEEDS scHooL-cHILDREN.
Paris Has Given Them Free Meals and Shoes for the Last
 Fifty Years. .

The speech of Supt. Maxwell, of the New York public schools, in St. Louis l recently, in which he declared that thou sands of children in city, schools are unable properly to attend to their stu dies because of the gnawing of hunger has already borne fruit in Milwaukee, where breakfasts are now supplied free to all poor children who may apply for them, says the New York World. While this is the first application of this plan in America, 1t has long been practiced in Paris where, since 1874 . fund has been in existence for provid- ing poor children with shoes, clothing and the necessaries of life.
 At first only the children of the Mont martre district were thus favored, but gradually the idea spread until in 1882 a law was passed extending the planfto all the city communes.
 These school funds, intended primar- fly only to provide clothing, prizes and other forms of entertainment to encour- age attendance, have increased so that now the furnishing of food for the little ones is the principal item In the de- partment of the Seien alone thousands of warm meals were served to the children of the schools in the first year of the experiment. and in 18s4-5 15 school "can- teens" provided by the authorities dis. pensed no less than 1,110,s27 portions. One third of these were helpings of soup. another third meat and the rest vege- tables. The children, where they were able. had to pay for their meals, and there was contributed in this way 6.77S francs for 736,526 of these helpings. There was no payment for 37 ,301 help ings The total cost was 39, ,2S4 francs (s11,S52)
 Since then the system has spread and grown, and the authorities have been able to provide. better meal for less money, now that they can count on larger quantity. The average cost of meal of meat, vegetable and soup is only three cents. With this, too. is given bottle of wine when desired that costs only five cents yet is wholesome.
 From the very first the greatest care has been taken not to allow any loss of dignity to arise from the free feeding The fundamental principle of the whole management is the absolute innocence of the children. They cannot be ex- pected to pay. Their parents may be as fault; if so, there is only the greater reason to shelter the children and to try to preserve in them that sense of self respact.which might so easily be wrecked by the parents bad conduct Each child is called upon to pay three cents per day for his meal and receives in exchange check or ticket. Sometimes this pay ment is effected in a small office, one child entering at 8 time. All receive a ticket for their dinner and only the per- son who gives the ticket knows who have paid and who have not. The parents of thossowho do not pay are wis. ited. full inquiry is made as to their condition, and if they are poor they are put on the free list

continued to thrive, and in 1900 it again numbered 75, and from that time until the present day there has been steady increase, and now the herd numbers over 160 as healthy and as handsome buffalo as ever graced western prairie or gladdened the eye of "a hungry In- dian. Even as I write I see from my window this splendid herd grazing on . hillside not far away, their dark brown bodies in strong relief against the light brown grass. For month or more they have been wandering on the other side of the mountain, but now they are back again, and we shall enjoy the sight of them perhaps for days to come. Some thing has startled them, for they have stopped grazing and have raised their heads in alarm. And here they come down the mountain side like charge of cavalry, their tails in the air, and their humps rising and falling as the animals move on with their peculiar bounding movement, which carries them easily forward at speed with which we should hardly credit such ponderous animals They come like a landslide. the earth trembles beneath their mighty hoofs, and the sound of their coming Is like the roar of an avalanche. As they near the level ground below they gradually slacken their speed the roar of their hoof beats mocerates and dies away, as the buffaioes finally come to g halt on q grassy plain which borders my garden.
 Given one conditions considerable area of land over which to roam-buf- faloes are not difficult animals to keep. They are quite as easy to rear and less expensive to feed than domestic cattle, and in the hands of men wealthy enough to stand the initial expense buffalo farms could be made profitable in almost any of the states north of those which border on the gulf. Tn the first instance, the United States government should be most strongly urged to establish several small herds in different parts of the country. so as to avoid all possible chance of a large number being wiped out at one time by contagious disease. One such herd has already been established in an inc1osure in the Yellowstone Ma tional park under the management of MT. c. J. C'Buffalo") Jones' and this has doubled in numbers in a remarkably short time. If from four to six other herds of say 50 animals each were bought and maintained in the same way, the future of the buffalo would be as- sured, the day would soon return when a buffalo robe could be bought for less than $150, and the American people would have freed themselves from the charge of having allowed their grandest-look- ing and most valuable native animal to become extinct.

A JAPANESE SHOE SHOP.
Footgear for Horses as We'll as Men Is Made of Woven
 Straw.

Like all other shops in Japan a shoe shop opens broad side to the street It seems misnomer to call it shoe shop place where you can only buy sandals or clogs, things we are not accustomed to cali shoes; they are foot gear, any way, says the New York World.
 There is low platform in front upon which the customer sits and drinks tea while making his or her purchases; the shopkeeper meanwhile squating on his heels and discussing the news of the day.
 The sandals worn by the ricksha cool ies are called warafi; they are woven of rice straw. and are sold for half cent pair. They are made in the country villages and the foreigner watches the weaving with amused interest.
 The prehensile big toe of Japanese is of great assistance, as it is used for catching and holding the straws, leav- ing the hands free to weave.
 The pack horse wears straw shoes as well as the farmer who leads him. New pairs are strung around the high saddle, and the slow-moving beast Is reshod every few miles.
 In the Japanese shop one will find many varieties of clogs; few with the caps, others plain. A few years ago the social position of man, woman, or girl was indicated by the kind of clog worn and the decoration on it.
