certificate from this committee.
The above third clause does not ap-
ply to special sales subject to inspec-
ton by inspectors to be furnished by

be final, said inspectors to be paid for
their services and cost to be charged
to the party at fault.

have already received d certificate
shall be proved later to be incompe-
tent, this committee shall have the
power to revoke his certificate, and
if this is DONE notice of same must
be sent to each different member of
the lumber, timber and cross-ties trade,
but in the event that this is unsatis-

For the second successive day yes
terday there was not a bale of spot
cotton sold at the local Cotton Ex-
change This is not because there is
no demand for it, for the demand is
strong for the higher grades, but be-
cause of the scarcity of offerings. Ex-
porters want middling and above,
while the greater portion of that be-
ing offered is of a lower grade. The
receipts for local warehouses also con-
tinue to be small. OF the total re-
ceipts arriving at this port yesterday,
654 bales, but IA remained here, the
remainder being through shipments,

SO that the button presses the spot
where the pulse is felt. Hold the card
upright on its edge and draw 1t along
slowly and steadily, keeping it in con-
tact with the point of the quill. The
point will trace on the blackened card
a white wayy line, which is the record
of the pulse beats, greatly magnified.
because the pulse acts on the short
arm of the match and quill lever, and
the record is written by the long arm.
The bent quill under the button acts
as a spring and raises the button each
time 1t is pushed down by throb Of
the pulse.
These pulse traclngs vary with the
age and health of the person making
them, and are, therefore. as l have
said, sort of autograph.

Mr.. Greene, who was born at West
chester, went to the West when boy
of II and became soon afterward a
government contractor In Colorado and
Kansas. Then he tried his hand at
mining. Going to Arizona he pros
pected with variable success In the
neighborhood of Prescott. Then he
farmed while in the San Pedro val
ley in Arizona, Mt the same time ac-
qulring and operating mines In vari-
Gus parts of the Territory. He was
successful us rancher and cattle
raiser and his rancho embraced 1900
acres. His activity led him to embark
in various enterprises, but his greatest
success was acquired when some ten
years ago he secured control of the La
Cananea copper mines In Mexico
Years of litigation followed in the
courts and five years ago he organized
the Greene Consolidated Copper Com
pany. At that time the stock was
worth only % cents n share, but 1t
soon commenced to soar, reaching
within two years $50. BY this happy
strike Mr.. Greene found himself mill
lionaire many times over.
Mr.. Greene has wide reputation as
an Indian fighter and. in the sos. he
organized and led several volunteer
forces against the Apaches of Arizona.
He is noted for his democratic ways
and his charities.

THE spHYGMo6RApH.

Physicians have always devoted a
great deal of attention to the study Of
the pulse because its force, rapidly
and regularity or irregularity tell a
great deal about the patients condi
ton.
An experienced doctor can read the
pulse pretty well by merely pressing
his finger on the patients wrist, but
something more than this is needed
for thorough study of the pulse. Fol-
this purpose an instrument has been
invented by the aid of which the pulse
is made to leave a record of its vibra
tons on strip of paper, so that they
can be studied Mt leisure and compared
with other pulse tracings made in the
same way.
You can make pulse tracings Mt the
cost of very little labor, and mate,
rails not worth two cents, which you
can find in the house. These materials
are nothing but a good-sized cork, o
little stick like match stick, shoe
button, card. quill toothpick OF
quill pen and two pins.

FAMOUS sLAzes in LONDON

British Houses of Parliament We're
Burned on Oct. 10, 1884.
Oct. 1G is a day to be associated with
fire In the minds Of Londoners, for on
that date, in 1884, the houses Of parlia-
ment were burned down, and Gu the
same day, in 1888, Berkeley house was
destroyed by fire, says the London
Chronicle. Berkeley house stood on
the site of the present Devonshire
house and Evelyn does not seem to
have thought much Of 1t. '"rhe stair.
case is of cedar" he writes. "The fur
niture is princely; the kitchen and sta
bles are ill-placed and the corridors
worse. The porticos are in
imitation of a house described by Pal
ladlo, but it happens to be the worst
i'll his books" The fire was caused,
according to the Daily Journal Of the
day after, "by the workmen leaving n
glue pot among shavings. which boiled
over while they We're at breakfast and
set fire to the house." This was before
the days of policemen. for 'the Earl of
Albemarle attended in person, with n
party of guards, to secure what goods
were saved from being plundered by
the mob; and all persons unknown
We're searched as they went out"
The burning of the houses of parlia.

caused by official stupidity. For CEN

REV. II. II. HENSON. Which are regarded
as being "a pack of lies too gross for
liberation" He declares that inspira-
ton is not allowed to certify to the
truth of any statement in the Bible
which cannot be substantiated at the
bar of reason and evidence" In the
New Testament he finds little to offend
reason Or conscience, but, whether
much or little, it will have to go the
way Of the Old Testament prodigies."
In an analysis of the present social
condition, Canon Henson attributes the
spread of anarchy, the ulcer that is
eating the vitals of society,"" to the
disappearance over large areas of civil
lied life of "the religious basis of mo-
rality." Yet he finds an excuse for
these "nonmoral multitudes' who
from the cradle to the grave have
faced the severe pressure of competi-
ton, the squalor and poverty and the
miserable exigencies of unmerited
want" and who inevitably compare
their condition with the ostentation of
unearned wealth. the profusion and
unchecked luxury and the insolence of
pnchastened power"

Postage stanp Puzzle.

Take row of postage stamps. say
twelve. gum the end one down to the
table and find in how many ways the
whole twelve can be bent Mt their per.
forations so rs to make compact pile
of twelve. OF course, If you have only
two stamps there is but one way Of
forming the pile-namely, the folding
the one over the other. If you have
three it is easy to see that there are
two ways of manipulating the third
stamp. A little ingenuity and a little
patience will enable you to decide how
four stamps may be folded. but when
the number gets larger the problem
becomes very difficult.
