Diet and Temperament.

Usually one does not expect a butch CT to devote much time to philoso- phizing, and last of all should we look to him for a preachment against the practice Of eating meat. But a Chi cago butcher has been giving his views to the world, and he is of the opinion that food has a great deal to do with the characteristics of different nations. The English, he says, eat enormous quantities of meat. Morning, noon and night. theyli set before. you the best meat in the world, but no vegetables to speak of, no desserts, no entrees; meat only. The consequence of all this meat-eating is that many an English man is worse than a bear to have around the house."
 The French, according to the same authority. eat little meat. They con sume much fruit, vegetables salads, and some fish and chicken. The con- sequence Is that they are polite and good -humored. They are noted all over the world for these qualities.
 A still more striking illustration is furnished by the Japanese. says our Windy City butcher. The mass of this people, we are told live, on rice, fruit, sweetmeats and fish. They don't touch meat from one years end to another. And their temperance and delicacy at table gives them the best dispositions in the world. On the streets of Japan there is never any fighting or quar- rellng. You never sec a disturbance of any kind among the people Tolerance. courtesy. high-bred and ce-emonious manners are as prevalent in Japan as grumbling in England.
 It has often been said that the meat eating nations have been, and are, the standard-bearers of civilization, the leaders of progress among all the na- tiUns. Hitherto this assertion has ap- peared incontrovertible. The oarnivcr- ous Europeans have certainly had the best Of the vegetarian Asiatics. But the Japanese seem destined to over turn this theory. tcO. Notwithstanding the fact that they are principally vege- tariars, they show staying qualities which all the world must admire.
 Among the animals, too. there is marked difference between the carni- vora and herbivora. Lions, tigers, leo pards are fierce and treacherous. They are agile and swift. when reused to action, but they are not able to per ed effort. They love repose, sleep. Elephants, camels, oxen, horses are entirely different. They are strong, persevering. good natured. faithful

Japanese Pharmacy,

Japanese doctors and druggists are said by a correspondent of the Chemist and Druggist to have reached a higher standard than the world has given them credit for.
 !. Japanese druggists are of two classes, the enc certificated and Quali- fled to compound medicines, the other dealing in drugs and sundries. The na- tive doctors for the most part dispense their own medicines, though a few write prescriptions only. these latter for the most part having studied in Germany and holding a university de- gree. The metric system Is used for both weights and measures. There is a considerable popular demand for household remedies, and many of these correspond exactly with those which have here long since fallen into disuse. Thus snakes, lizards, frogs, crabs and other animals are Kept in a dried con dition in the native drug stores, and enjoy mere or less repute as medicinal agents.
 Face paints and powders and various dentifrices are much in vogue, and pIasters to relieve headache and neu- ralgia are largely employed. Massage Is used in rheumatism and in nervous affections and Is to a large extent in the hands of the blind. The manufac- ture of mineral waters Is carefully su- pervised by the authorities and fines are inflicted in any case where the of- ficial standard of purity is departed from

lover Private Wire From H. & E. Beer.l NEW ORLEANS, Dec. l.-Notwithstand- market opened i6G23 points lower and sub sequently improved 36@40 from the bottom on the more favorable outlook to the political sit uation in the East coupled to the report that a lady statistician in New York predicts that the Census Bureau report will point to a crop of about 9,4oo. 900, making the net gain 3 @24 points the day. It was plainly evil dent that a concerted effort was being made to enhance prices today and it proved success ful. The circulation again of rumor that the census bureau would indicate crop of g. 400 900 was not warranted because the cen- sus officials have repeatedly stated that no fore no importance cam be attached to such a report. That the census report is expected to be very bullish Is generally conceded; but as the outturn of the crop will still be problem atical after the document is issued, 1t is questionable whether it will have any decided influence on values The Russian Japanese im- broglio is centered to have assumed a more Favorable turn and many are of the opinion now that the differences will be settled ami- cably. Receipts however. continue to exceed expectations and the demand for spots prac- tically nominal. as spinners are apathetic and refuse to enter the market claiming that tex tile trade conditions do not warrant their talk ing hold. As an evidence of the unsatisfactory business being done by English spinners, it was decided by them several days ago to work on half time. soon as possible. Cables from Havre say that the weavers of Normandy, a large spinning district in France, decided at meeting today to go on short time for three months. From this it would appear than the movement to curtail consumption Is spreading Sentiment nevertheless is extremely favorable to the article and any favorable feature brings iH a buying wave. To make the situation healthy, though 1t is absolutely essential to have a marked decrease in receipts and a good demand for spots. Wishing you all a happy and prosperous new year, we are.

A. B. Baxter q Co's Cotton Letter.


 NEW YORK. Dec. 3I.-Although the mar ket has been weakening recently, owing to any change in the strong position of cotton. which Is today inviting for bull specula- tion as at any previous time, much has been made of the fact that the leading bulls have been taking profits, but 1t would be folly to conclude that the situation has been weakened to the extent that the bull campaign is over. No one man controls the situation. We have witnessed wide fluctuations. but it is forgot ten that the big declines of late have occurred at brief intervals and have therefore attract ed greater attention than if they had occurred at frequent intervals and had been of less magnitude; in other words, l cent decline in two days has been attracting greater notice than the same decline during a period of one or two weeks. On the whole, the market has
 been holding up well despite the magnitude of the rise. Prices today went of sharply at the opening on heavy sales. Demands for ad- ditional margins necessitated heavy selling but the market rallied a few points soon after the early break Receipts were moderate at the ports, interior towns were light. Final cables showed 79l2 loss. Liverpool stock for the week gained 54 900 and yet the stock today Is 90. 900 less than one year ago
