eibert c cIaY,s Market Letter..

The ease with which prices declined in the foreign market was directly traced to the liquidation of some long commit ments and options lost 6 points from Saturdays close The continued good spot transactions is again evident by sales of 120oO bales at decline of ? points.
 The lower opening In our own markets was most sympathetic in character, as Liverpool had failed to do ner share In meeting expectations. The undertone was firm, but there being no speculative in- terest noticeable, q very limited amount of business was done.
 The continued absence of good grade offerings of spot cotton, in the face of a steady demand for such. is d peculiar situation, which is causing some nervous ness in the ranks of exports who have commitments to fill. The past week weather conditions have been more favor able than otherwise for farm work, all though in some localities progress had been retarded through excessive moisture Forecasts for today and tomorrow are rather indicative of further rains and unfaVora ble weather generally which should exert some temporary influence in prices, as the trade seems to display more sensitiveness to reports from this source than to other momentary causes
 The lack of speculative interest and the consequent narrow range in values have caused scalpng conditions to exist for so long that only a new order of things of a drastic nature can occur to reawaken the present market. Put we are rather inclined 10 believe that a higher range of values would be justlAa bic, so long as there exists the pressing need for spot potfon

Holy Saturday In Naples.

Naples celebrates in curious man. ner Lent and the end of Passion week. Ropes are stretched from house to house across the streets in the ancient districts on the day of the carnival, and dolls made of rags, wearing the traditional Neapolitan costume and car. rying a dstaf and bobbin, are sus- pended from these ropes. At the feet of the spinner is attached an orange containing seven feathers, correspond Ing to the seven weeks of Lent. Each week ohe feather is plucked, so that only one remains at Holy Saturday. Then, as soon as the cannon of Fort St. Elmo and the church bells announce the noon hour and the resurrection of Christ, frecrackers, which have been tied in long strings to the orange at the dolls feet are lighted and the Quaresima figure explodes amid the cries of the crowd, wherein pious for mulas and profane phrases alternate.

THE BOOMERANG.
ous of the Most Peculiar Weapons of
 War Ever Invented.

The boomerang is an instrument used both h war and in The chase by the abortgnes of Australia. 1t Is usually about two feet n length, made of hard WOO! bent into curve resembling an obtuse angle, fat on one side and rounded on the other. The method Of using this curious weapon $ very pc cuIlar The throver takes 1t in one hand holding the bent side downward, and hurIS 1t forward IS # to hit some object twenty or twenty i've yards ID advance In9tead of continuing to go directly forward in accordance with the Newtonian law t slowly ascends in the air, Whiring round and round, describing q beautiful and ge0metrical cur et! line Till 1t reaches I cOnSidera ble height, when it begins to retro grade, finally sweeping over the head Of the pro1ecter, striking the object for which It was intended, which is all ways tn the rear.
 An English officer has thlS to say Of the singular weapon. The boomerang Is one Of the most curious weapons of war ever invented, at least by bar barous people, nor is 1t easy to compre- bend by what law of projectlles It is made to take the singular directions that 1t frequently does. I have seen a native throw one So as to make it go forty or fifty yards horizontally and not more than four feet from the ground. It would then suddenly dart into the air to the height of fifty or sixty yards. describe a very consider able curve and finally fall at hls feet. Ia all cases, DO matter how thrown, the boomerang keeps turning wf~h great rapidlty. like as if ou a pivot, making loud. whizzing noise all the While''

TYROLESE CUSTOMS.
Peculiar Manner In Which PrnponSzS
 of Marriage Are Made.

There Is an Old custom prevailing among the Tyroiese regarding propos- als of marriage The first time ] young man pays a visit as ayowed lover he brings with him a bottle of wine, of which he pOurs out a glass and pre- sents it to the object of his desires.
 If she accepts It the whole affair is settled. Very often the girl has not yet made up her mind, and then she will take refuge in excuses so as not to drink the wine and yet not refuse It point blank, for that is considered a gross insult proving that she has been merely trifng with the affections of her lover
 She will, for iustanee, maintain that the wine looks sour or that wine dis agrees with her or that she Is afraid of getting tipsy or that the priest has for bidden her to take any-in fact, she makes use of any subterfuge that pre- sents itself at that moment
 The purport of these excuses is that she has not come to a decision and that the wine offering is premature.
 This strange custom. dating very far back-according to one account 1t was known as early as the ninth century is called bringing the wine and ts synonymous with the act of proposing.
 Shy lovers, loath to make sure of their case beforehand, find It a very happy institution. Not word need be spoken, and the girl Is spared the pain fni "NO'' Of ciyfliZa tioQ
 If any of the wine Is spilled or the glass or bottle broken it is considered most unhappy omen-In fact, there is peasants saying for an unhappy marriage, They have spilled the wine between them"

SACRED CROCODlLEs.
The Famous Shrine and the "LAby-
 rtnth" In Egypt:

rtnth' In Egypt:
 The crocodile, one of the most sacred animals of the east, has given it's name to several ancient sites. Of the various cities of crocodiles the names of which have been handed down to us by He rodotus, Pliny and Strabo. perhaps the most striking was the "CrocodIlopolis' of the ancient Egyptian province of Fayum, which, according to tradition, was built by that pharaoh who made the lives of the children of Israel bit ter with hard service" This province lies within an almost complete circle of hills-a little oasis In the midst of the desert, where roses and grapes mlngle with figs and olives and luxuriant palm trees grow almost into forests. It's cap itaI Is Medinet, and little to the north of the city are number of irregularly shaped mounds. Beneath these are the ruins of the pharaoh built "Crocodilop- oiis," the City of Crocodtles," later called Arsinoe and the shrine of the sacred crocodile of the neighboring Lake Moeris, which was then 4oO miles In circumference. This lake held the sacred crocodiles, and as each died In turn It was buried In one of the 1,3OO underground sepulchers Of the world famed .iabyrnth" at hand, side by side with the embalmed bodies Of success sive pharaohs.

HIGHLAND CHOPPERS.
How They Lived Tn the Middle of tho
 Last Century.

Last Century.
 Tn the middle of the last century the crofters In the west highlands seldom saw money and never needed 1t. They erected for themselves huts mostly built of turf, doored with clay and roofed with heather They kept few cattle, goats and sheep, which grazed at will on the open hillside and provided them with milk and wool. They lived truly simple life, and their needs were few. They grew oats for their own food and potatoes, which formed their other chief article of diet. Tea was an unknown lux ury. It was by no means uncomnon to hnd persons who had never tasted It. N-heaten bread had never been seen in those parts Their clothes were made from the aeeces of their own sheep, spun and woven by the good wives during the long winter nights and dyed from the simple dyes made from the lichens which grew on the stems of trees or on the powders of rock in the neigh hborhood The whisky they drank came from secret stills on the hillside and had never paid excise The nearest parish church was often many miles away No school was there for the children. Very few of them indeed, could read or write. Still fewer had ever heard word of English spoken. Their spir, itual needs. however, were not neg lected, for they received constant vis It's from the men, as they were call ed, who had constituted themselves the spiritual guides of their neighborhood, -Blackwood's Magazine
