New York, Dec. 1S.-After early firmness the cotton market weakened under selling for both accounts which seemed to be chiefly due to predictions for a bearish census re- port giving the amount O, cotton ginned to

 The market opened firm at an advance of

 The bank failures reported from Chicago and the weak opening of the stock market

 weak spots, however. and after easing off to a net loss of about or points the mar ket rallied to practically the initial fig ures. Later it broke under local bear raid following rumors that the report & of the row would show 9.S1zoo0 bales ginned to December IS. This was taken as pointing to showing by the census bureau later in the week of abou. s,500.000 bales and the
 settled: The decline caught some stop loss orders around II 30 for March which forced that position off to 11.S4 and the market closed within a point or two of the lowest. Sales were estimated at 60O,0oO

BIGGEST WINDMILL OF ALL
Pumps Water Into Golden Gate Park
 in San Francisco.

fumps water Into Golden Gate Fark
 in San Francisco.
 The largest windmill in the United States, if, indeed, not the largest in the whole world, has recently been con- structed near San Francisco. This gigantic mill is located directly on the ocean beach, near the famous seal rocks. 1t is used for pumping water up into Golden Gate Park.
 The huge, strong wooden tower snp- porting the wind arms rises 150 feet. 1t Is 40 feet square at the base, se- curely anchored and gradually tapers upward, assuming a round shape.
 There are four immense wooden arms, or vanes. Each arm measures 80 feet from the center or hub-thus making a diameter of 160 feet in de- scribing the circle. The wind vanes are feet wide and extend nearly the entire length of the huge arms.
 This windmill is located upon a prominent elevation, so that it may catch every available wind arising in that section.
 This colossal windmill is capable or developing 5O-horse power. Its pump ing capacity is 100000 gallons of wa ter every twenty-four hours.
 The water is taken from the wells and forced through a large iron main sixteen inches in diameter, for nearly four miles up into an immense reser- voir several hundred feet higher than the ocean beach. From this reservoir the water is distributed in all direc. tions through the park.
 During the dry, hot season the arms of this giant windmill are kept whirl- ing day and night to supply the thirsty demand. AS the mill stands on the wide, open beach, there is rarely, if ever, any lack of wind; in fact, the winds occasionally blow with such vio- lence that the mill is compelled to be shut down, as 1t would be risky to at tempt to run 1t during a fierce gale.

Casting for Bass by Moonlight.

1 suppose the average bait caster knows very little of casting by moon- light, but to my mind this is most pleasurable way of fishing, writes c. l.. Dewey in Recreation. The very weirdness and uncertainty constitute its chief charm, for the more uncertain a thing, the greater the satisfaction when it is accomplished.
 For this particular fishing, a lance wood bat-casting rod between five and six feet in length, good double multiplying reel, about fifty yards of No. Kingfisher silk line and sur face casting bait make an ideal con- bination. Confirmed fy-casters often ridicule the bait-caster with the stub- by rod, but have used both, and it takes fully as much skill and practice to manage the short rod as the long, whippy one, and bait-casting offers a much larger field and larger variety of fishing than fly-casting. A surface bait should always be used, as bass strikes at the commotion made by the bait, not because he is hungry, but merely because he wants to fight.

The Average Storm Wave.

The average storm wave is thirty feet in height. The highest storm waves ever measured were between forty-four and forty-eight feet high. The gigantic force of storm waves is shown by the fact that at Skerryvore lighthouse. off the west coast of Scot land, mass of rock weighing five and a half tons was once hurled to height of seventy-two feet above the sea level, while a mass weighing thirteen and a half tons was torn from a cliff seven- ty-four feet high.

A Measure for Chefs.

Twelve-year-old Dorothy is al- ready cook of no mean proficiency. Saturday morning frequently finds her in the kitchen, being initiated into the making of some simple dish.
 "Oh, put in moderately generous pinch of salt" her mother will reply to her anxious inquiry. Or her grand mother will give professional glance at the stew-pan and say, Well, If were making it, think I'd probably put in quite a little more butter"
 Such remarks, coming easily from the tongues of artists who have only to look at bit of cookery in process of making to know exactly what it needs, are exasperating to a youthful cook, especially one who inherits from "the other side" predilection for sci entific accuracy of statement.
 Recently Dorothy, returning from visit, excited the interest even of those passed masters, her mother and grand mother, by making a wonderful new salad dressing. The two ladies short ly afterward tried to make the dress ing, under Dorothy's instruction.
 "How much sugar did you say, Dor othy?" asked one of her pupils, bend- ing with flushed face over the stove at critical moment.
 "Well," said Dorothy, with unnat- ural deliberateness, eff I were mak- ing that dressing, I shouldn't be sur prised if most likely I'd put in mod erately generous heaping -end-of-a- medium-sized tablespoonful

Nicholas J. Hertz, Member of An. cient Order of Workmen, Capitol Lodge, No. 14O, Pearl Street Hotel, Albany, N. r., writes:
 "A few months ago contracted a heavy cold which settled in my kid neys, and each time 1 was exposed to inclement weather the trouble was aggravated until finally was unable to work.
