New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, February 13.-Spot cotton in easy demand and light, though there is some inquiry for European account. Sales, 22OO bales, including 800 to arrive. Quotations reduced 1-16c; middling, Il 11-16c.
 Futures opened at Il points down on a disappointing Liverpool and because New York was bearish. In the future market New York is doing the business that Is being transacted, both in that market and in the local market. There are very few people here who are taking a part in any future transaction. Apparently the south either buys actual cotton or keeps out of the market. The trading was light. May opened Il points lower than yester- days closing at 10.S8. sold down to 10 .S2 and finally improved to 10. .S5. The market closed fairly steady with net losses of 12 to IA points on the active positions from February to July inclusive.

For money crop we have found
transplanted onions very useful. We
use the Prizetaker variety. which
seems best for this purpose. The
ground is made very rich with manure
and fertilizer and carefully plowed and
fitted The seed is either started In the
hotbeds in March or started outdoors
MS early In the season as possible.
When the plants have a bulb about
a. large as lead pencil they are trans
planted like cabbage, in rows or drills
eighteen inches apart and about -four
inches in the rows Constant and
thorough culture is required, and II
this is given and the season is a fair
one immense onions will be grown.
They are very mild and pleasant In
flavor. and we have no trouble In sell
ing them at high figure, says a farm
or located near New York.

Castle Yesterday.

In the Valley of contentment, Just be-
yond the Hills of Old,
Where the streams are always silver ana
the sunshine always gold,
Where the hour is ever morning and the
skies are never gray,
In the yellow haze of springtime stands
the Castle Yesterday.
oh, the seasons that we spent there when
the whole wide world was young,
The friends we've had as maid and lad,
the songs that we have sungl
The echoes of their music cannot quite
have died away,
But still must thrill the rooftree of the
Castle Yesterday.
And the loving hearts we knew there In
the time of trust and truth,
Surely still they walt behind us In the
Pantheon or youth
But the angel of the valley at the portal
bars our way,
And a flaming sword forbids us from the
Castle Yesterday
When the pilgrimage Is ended may we
turn then, may we charge
To the vanished and familiar from the
present and the strange?
Whose chooses to his heaven. l shall be
content to stay
Where the ghosts of dead years wander
through the halls of Yesterday

saddest In the worId-There Poverty

Whisky and prosperity cannot rule
the same house.
Where you find the head of the home
addicted to drink you find poverty and
wretchedness.
The wife is harassed and careworn,
the children are shabby and i'll noun

Instead of looking upon their father
as the best man in the world they fear
and distrust him.
Instead of looking forward to his
homecoming they dread it,
The wife sees other women with com
Portable homes. pretty clothes, well
dressed children.
She knows that she cannot have any
of those things because the money
which should buy them is spent on
whisky.
The man she promised to "love, hon
or and obey" is nothing but burden
to her.
He is no help to her In the upbring-
ing of the children. They can learn no
good from him for the reason that they
have absolutely no respect for him.
The duty of father toward his chill
dren is quite as great as that of a
mother
1t Is his duty to train them to be hon

He should be the guide and counsel
or of his sons, ordering his life in such
a way that they will have the greatest
respect for his Judgment.
But If he loves drink better than he

them.
He can only handicap them by oblg-

But If he is cursed by the love of

The saddest home in the world is the
drunkard's home.
Grim poverty sits enthroned every

Which Is the most inehriate country
In the worldI In liarper's Weekly
Sydney Brooks gives some interesting
facts bearing upon this point Apropos
OF the drink question in England he
points out that countries that drink the
most are not necessarily the most
drunken. On paper the greatest drink
ers In the world are the French, yet
France Is VIGOROUSLY temperate
country Her statistics of police drunk
enness are less than one-fourth Of the
English record. Italy, Spain and Por-
tugal, being wine growing aud wine
drinking countries. have large Suits
ties of consumption, but are, as a mat
fer Of fact, exceedingly temperate.
Northern Russia. Scandinavia and
Scotland are the most drunken parts
Of Europe. though the consumption of
alcohol per head is comparatively low.
For the last ten years England has
spent on drink from SS75. 100000 TO
$3.50, 100000 n year Her average an
nual expenditure on drink amounts,
therefore, to a sum that Is more than
the entire annual revenue

the intrinsic value OF a small piece OF
land intensively cultivated as an aid
to the support Of family. II Is really
surprising what a little piece Of land
can be made to produce under an In
telllgcnt cultivation.
