NAoy FrlVate wire from dtOeFt & Clay.D
 NEW ORLEANS, July 22.--Cotton suf- fered a moderate decline today. The Liver pool market disappointing at the hour Of our opening and lost steadily in values. closing points lower winter months a result of the days trading. Cables were uhfavorabie in tone and spots lost 1 points on sales of 5000 bales. Manchester re- ported fair business in cloths, with yarns quiet
 In deference to the unsatisfactory foreign market, an excellent Government weather chart and absence of unfaborable crop news lower prices prevailed in all options at our opening. The fresh selling induced was met with fair amount of purchasing orders and prices for time remained steady at the decline. but assumed lower levels later in the session Many have expressed surprise at the action of the market under the ava lanche of favorable crop news. where de- clfnes should logically have followed ad- vances have frequently occurred. The reason Is given that the short interest is very large and constant covering causes higher prices This. think, is true but not the whole truth. for, the cause is more directly due to the smallness of the specu- lative long interest. The bulk of contracts on that side are practically held out of the market and will so remain until they can be substituted for actual cotton, hence when short sellers become nervous, one of the few speculative long contracts must supply his wants sr fresh seller be found, and fresh sellers are scarce. if 1t is true as said that everybody is already short seller to his limit This leads to the conclusion that the market Is more than likely to be a scalpng affair until the staple begins to move freely or that time becomes imminent, it being un- quate speculative long interest unless a disaster of record-breaking proportions should happen to the crop and a complete reversal Of sentiment follow.

Caldwell. ward . Co.'S Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK. July 22-The weakness of old crop In Liverpool this morning seems to confirm the report of yesterday that the bull clique there had abandoned its ma- nipulation of the near months as a result of the ugly temper of the British public sitfons were not so weak, but the whole list closed at substantial decline There was less heard today about the purpose of cer- tam longs to force prices up to a point where short stop orders would be reached but there was still lingering fear that they may yet be able to carry out their de- sire to put October and December to 1Oc. The Fall River situation has become more difficult of settlement owing to the charges Of breach of faith made by operatives against owners, and prospect now is for a bitter struggle. In the Malacca affair, the British plainly express the hope that Brit 1sh warship may overhaul and recapture the prize, regardless of any disavowal by Russ a Some afternoon papers urging aggres- siye action on the foreign office and war risks have gone up All this Is probably a tempect in a tea cup. but its effect on the trade Is certainly not good. Cables this afternoon stated that spinners were revert ing to the short time schedule of 40 hours during August. but this was promptly de- nied, reports curtailment as spinners who have bought literally in Liverpool for sey- erai weeks past have contracts ahead are not in a position to shorten the working hours
 New bales are coming in, though rather slowly, and predictions are made that Texas will be offering cotton freely before long But after all has been said we are back to the realization that as long as the short interest continues as large as at pres ent, market Is Habit 10 sudden and sharp rallies regardless of natural influences

Egyptians Beat Harvey.

The Harveian Grafton at the Royal
College of Physicians, London, was de-
livered this year by Dr. Richard Cation,
F. r. c. P. In the course of his re-
marks he said that Harvey was al
most anticipated 5000 years ago by the
priest-doctors Of Egypt in his moment
Gus discovery Of the circulation of the
blood.
AS far back as 1000 B. c. Egypt had
works on medicine and anatomy, and
one brilliant genius-forgotten nova
days and omitted from the cyclopedias
j em-hotep, priest Of the sun god Ra,
and physician to King Torsothros, be-
came so eminent that he was revered
as a demigod after death, temple
was built over his tomb, and in his
honor hospitals were raised in Mem
phis and other cities. Here the priest
physicians treated the sick and en-
balmed the bodies of men and sacred
animals.
These were probably, DR.. Cation
thinks, the first Of mankind to acquire
a rudimentary knowledge Of the move
ment of the blood. Their papyri con-
tain intelligent references to the heart.
the blood vessels and the pulse. OF
the heart in particular they knew
much, and their writings refer to its
enlargement. fatty degeneration, dis
placement, palpitation and pericardial
effusion. One remarkable passage of
/ these old-world inquirers speaks of dis
tension Of the heart and shortness of
breath as occurring because the blood
! has stagnated and does not circulate
properly.
Not Greece, therefore, but Egypt, long
before Galen and Hippocrates, was the
motherland Of rational medicine and
anatomy. The views Of the Greeks on
the circulation of the blood were almost
exactly those which the Egyptians had
taught many centuries earlier.
On one remarkable means of treat
ment for incipient valvular disease of
the heart which these long forgotten
Nile doctors taught DR.. Cation laid
great stress. 1t was the method rec
commended at least 1000 years ago to
let the heart have as much rest as
possible-a wise injunction. said the
Harveian orator, which we may yet
practice with advantage. I-em-hotep
seems to have been an aIl-round genius
physician. architect, astronomer, al
chemist-so illustrious that after death
he was reDuted the son Of the supreme
deity, Ptah-all this and yet nearly
lost to fame-New York Sun.

One of Jndge CambbeIPs.

John Harvey, welI-known pick
pocket, was being tried by the late
Judge Campbell on a charge Of va
grancy.
During the testimony Campbell
asked the prisoner if he had not been
convicted of pickpocketing. The pris-
Oner replied that he had served a
period in Jail for that offense.
We'll" said Campbell. the court
finds you guilty of vagrancy and
places your fine at s25. Can you pay
the fine?" asked the Judge.
The defendant informed the court
that he possessed only SIS.
"Bailiff," sang out the Judge, turn
the prisoner loose and allow him to
mingle with the crowd for a few
moments"
The spectators made a dive for their
valuables and a hasty retreat for the

JabaneSe Prison Methods.

Prisons in Japan resemble large
country houses with many outbuild-
ings and do not. either in the sOlidity
or details of their construction, wear
a penitentiary aspect. Their prison.
ers get food in proportion to their
conduct and industry; those who do
not behave will get a cake of rice,
which must last them seven days. For
the deserving it is the ration for but
four days, and they get with 1t also
a little horse meat and potato or pea
sauce The labor is compulsory, but
not severe. and the prisoner gets part
of his earnings, though it amounts to
little. The discipline is military, and
serving a term in prison does not i'm
pose an indelible stigma. Systematic
efforts are made to improve the pris-
oners: all the youths under 10 years
pass two hours each day in school.
Even when their term Of sentence is
over they cannot be released till a
surety is found for their subsequent
good behavior. Till this is provided
they must remain in prison and may
do so for indefinite periods. OF late
societies have been formed to care for
the prisoners and keep them under
observation after they have been re-
stored to society. Jail life there is
accompanied by all the ameliorations
of which it admits without impairing
it's disciplinary and reformatory char
acter, and when it is over the convict
has new chance in life, with no dis
abilities that diligence and good con-
duct may not overcome.-New York

They were examining talesmen TOT

charged with adulterating his milk
in one of the police courts recently.
The defendants attorney was very
careful about accepting a Juryman
who was in any way acquainted with
any of the officials in the Health De-
partment. which was prosecuting the
case. After several had been rejected
because they knew one or more of the
health officials 1t came Teuton's
time to be examined as TO his qualifi-

The Teuton, replying to the various
questions by the opposing counsel,
stated that he did not know DR.. Ward,

Chief Food Inspector Robertson and
a number of others.

Depart, O mighty one,
On winters icy breath.
My sad lament is this.

Swoop softly DER the plains and view
Thy battlefields again.
But now below we sadly mourn,
For thou art gathered up by Tu.

To the great dwelling of the gods.

Impaled by the wizard priest

Boston in April. 1908. to circumnavt-
gate the world. He arrived at Gibral-
tar a month later and set sail for Per-
nambuco, on the coast Of South Amert-
ca. From there he set sail for Rio Ja-

foes Robinson Crusoe."
The Spray then headed for the Sa-

sailed to Cape Town and was at last
in the Atlantic Ocean. He returned
home by way of ST. Helena and

are still remembered. though they were

ever. reached the Lizard after a more
or less exciting trip. Later Andrews
proposed another trip and the two

CAPE DISAPPOINTMENT = W. F.
r.. City. The following from the Pa
cihc Coast Pilot Chart, 1889, tell how
the promontory in the State Of Wash
ington known as Cape Disappointment
came to be so named. ION July s.
177s. Mears, in the ship NOOtka, arrived
off the cape and found that a
'prodigious easterly swell rolled along
the shore and he had soundings made
in sixteen fathOms over a hard. sandy
bottom. After we had rounded the
promOntOry. a large bay. as we had
imagined opened to our view that
bore a very promising appearance and
into which we steered with every en-
couraging expectation. As we entered
the bay the water shOaled to g. 8 and
fathOms. where breakers were seen
right ahead. and from the masthead
they were observed to extend across
the bay. Thereupon the cape was
named Disappointment. 1t was called
Cape Hancock by Gray in 1892. He
changed this name to Disappointment
upon hearing that Mears had so named
it, That name was retained by other
naviSators. The name disappointment
is that used on the official charts and
by al navigatOrs. although the pro-
montory has been called Hancock and
