NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Feb. 23.-The cotton mar
lket opened quiet and steady at decline
of points to an advance of / point, under
liquidation, due chiefly to fears of a re-
action as a result of unsettling war news.
Gables, however, were firm, and almost
before the call was completed prices be-
gan to do better on bull sport and COW
ering promoted by the light receipts es-
timated for the day at both ports and in
terror points Mondays movement had
also been very light and with advices
coming in from all portions of the South
as to the urgency of spot demand and the
scarcity of cotton, the bull leaders here
and in New Orleans had no difficulty in
advancing prices. At first the list moved
up gradually. but about midday showed
greater activity and excitement. May
was particularly firm, selling at times
20 points over July while the continued
buying of March by important spot in
terests led to a belief that March ten
ders next Friday would be promptly
taken care of The advance was also en-
outraged by the firmness at New Orleans
where March soon after the opening had
shot up some 40 points. leading to ru-
mors of possible corner in that position
in the Southern market and here there
appeared to be apprehension of corner
in May At any rate the market adj
vaneed rapidly and shortly after midday
March sold up to 1850, May to Ass, and
July to 14S1 net gains of 53@62 points.
This level representing an advance OF
nearly 81 without any substantial reac-
ton. naturally attracted heavy realizing,
which as prices began to yield, encour-
aged selling by the room, who evident
~ thought setback would be no more
than natural if but for speculative rea-
sons. while reports of financial difficulties
in Berlin and rather unsettling war ru-
mors are producing an easier tendency.
The market was finally barely steady
with the net advance cut down to mat
ter of 1904 points. Port receipts for
the day were less than half of last year s
While the estimates for tomorrow are
slightly more liberal, estimates as to the
amount in sight for the week have been
reduced from 100, 900 to 100000 abales,
against 10000 bales last year.
Receipts at the ports today 9,2S7 bales,
against 1884 last week, and 1886 last

S6 .306 last week and 143, 947 last year. To-

A Terrible Warming.

A man who was too economical
to take paper sent his little boy
to borrow the copy taken by his
neighbor. In his haste the boy
ran over a 81 stand of bees, and
in ten minutes looked like wa
terry summer squash" His cries
reached his father, who ran to
his assistance and, failing to see
a barbed wire fence, ran into it,
breaking it down, cutting out a
handful of flesh from his anatomy
and running 81 pair of pants.
The old cow took advantage OF
the gap in the fence, got into the
corn field and killed herself eat
ing green corn. Hearing the rack
ct, his wife ran, upsetting a four
gallon churn full of rich cream
into a basket of kittens, drowning
the whole flock. In her hurry she
dropped a 81 set of false teeth.
The baby, left alone, crawled
through the spilled milk into the
parlor and ruined a 500 carpet.
During the excitement, the oldest
daughter ran away with the hired
man, the dog broke up eleven set
ting hens, the calves got out and
chewed the tails off of four fine
thoroughbred colts. And he had
no insurance.

A disordered stomach may
cause no end of trouble. When
the stomach fails to perform its
functions the bowels become de-
ranged, the liver and kidneys con-
gested, causing numerous dis

painless and therefore the more
t. be dreaded. The important
thing is to restore the stomach
and liver to a healthy condition,
and for this purpose no better

Some of Syyift'S Sarcasm.

Swift's RULES and Directions For
Servants are quoted in What to Eat
as an evidence that. the servant of the
seventeen century did not differ mate
rally from the modern American ar
ticle. Among these rules are the fol-
lowing: "Scrape the bottom Of your
pots with a silver spoon. for fear of
giving them taste of copper" ''Write
your name and your sweethearts with
the smoke of candle on the roof Of
the kitchen to show your learning"
"Whoever comes to call on your mas
ter or mistress when they are abroad
never burden your memory with the
persons name, for, indeed you have
too many other things to remember"
"When you cut bread for toast do not
stand idly watching, but lay it on the
Goals and mind your other business"

MfIIoDedS.

The little creature which possesses
the distinction of having more legs
than any other animal is that which
belongs to the family Of insects known
as millepeds, or thousand footed. There
are several different species of these,
but they all possess tho common char
acteristic Of having segmented bodies,
each segment Of which is provided
with it's own pair of feet. These are
set so closely along the body as to re-
semble hairs, and when they move one
after another with perfect regularity
the effect is precisely the same on a
small scale as that Of a field Of oats
undulating under the influence of the
wind. Some species Of millepeds have
as many as $50 separate and distinct
legs They are all perfectly harmless,
unlike the centipeds, which frequently
have the power Of indicting poisonous
wounds

Shakesneare's Greatness.

''The more I read Shakespeare" said
Keats, "the more I find in him all that
I need" It has been said Of Wagner
that his greatness was due to the fact
that he knew no Latin. Perhaps
Shakespeare's little Latin and small
Greek" also saved him from steril-
izing bondage to dead classics. How
ever that may be, his genius transcend
ed all schools and all the limitations Of
lotteries. He is our supreme national
asset. If we were asked the question
whether we would be without India or
Shakespeare, is there one true English
man who would not say, with Carlyle,
india or no India, we cannot give up
our Shakespeare? London News.

Jeffrey's Tattered Books.

The famous reviewer Jeffrey treated
with disdain the bookbinder's delicate
art. Books were merely meant to be
read, he contended, and he was quite
satisfied so long as the words were
visible. Lord Cockburn laments the
fact that Jeffrey's library was, ''for a
lover Of books and for one who had
picked up a few, most wretched and
SO i'll cared for that the want even of
q few volumes never disturbed him."
Carlyle in his "Reminiscences" de-
scribes the study Of his brilliant coun-
tryman as "a roomy, not overneat
apartment on the ground floor, with a
big baiZe covered table loaded with
book rows and paper bundles. On one
or perhaps two Of the tables were book
shelves, likewise we'll filled, but with
books in tattery, i'll bound or unbound

Singing Birds.

Among birds the females do not sing,
and although many species have mu-
steal call notes and agreeable tones in
conversation which are shared in by
both sexes still the true song is only
rendered by the male bird. | am sim
cere i'll saying that the lady bird talks
more than her mate about the house,
but will admit that when away from
home she is very discreet in this re-
spect. In attending to her duties Of
incubation she is very quiet, and it is
seldom that a note is heard from her
while on the nest. 1t has even been
said that all birds are silent when in
cubating, so as to avoid observation.
However although most species are
quiet when sitting, there are a few
which chirp loudly when so engaged,
and some even burst into eXuberant
song-Science.

The Days OF Pewter.

Pewter played an important domestic
part in the days of our distant anceS-
tors. A peep at some of the household
books Of the Stuart days is quite a
revelation on this point. In 1864, for
instance, Sir Miles Stapleton, York
shire baronet, took it into his head to
replenish his stock of pewter and here
are few of his many purchases as re-
corded in his own handwriting: ''It.,
paid for six lardge puter platters or
dishes at Is I'd. a pound. and they
weighed 81 pound and half, which
comes to f04,01.05: paid for two dozen
of puter plates at Is. 3d. a pound and
they weighed 81 pound, fO2 1850; paid
then more for two puter stands for the
table, f00.0S.O0; one gallon puter can
and six porringers f00.19O6; paid to
William Hutchinson of Yorke, for II
new puter dishes for the table weigh
ing "A pound at I'D. pound fO314.-
o." And among other purchases at
the same time are two dozen new pew
ter plates for 80 shillings, another two
dozen at 10 shillings a dozen, and n
large quantity of spoons, basins and
candlesticks.- Westminister Gazette.

The Voice OF the rurtIe Dove.

One of the most complete misappre-
tensions with regard to the voices Of
birddom occurs when we listen to the
monosyllabic coo Of the restful turtle
dove. By no means a musical sound
In itself, yet it is so bound up in our
minds with the sleepy glamour of sum-
mer afternoons that we imagine the
sitting dove as grooming to herself from
sheer contentment with her lot. Very
different is the reality. That drowsy
Caonosyllable is the voice of the male
dove, not Of the hen upon the nest, and
while he utters it his antics are ludi-
crous to observe. Usually he is giving
peremptory orders to his wife to get off
the nest, in order that he may take
her place, and if she hesitates to obey
he enforceS his commands with sharp
pecks upon the head. At other times
he seems merely to order her off the
nest for the pleasure of witnessing her
devotion to his person, after which he
will suddenly become distracted in
manner and presently go off to the
feeding place.-London Graphic.
