SAVING a Cab Fare.

Here's a pretty tale Of domestic
economy from an English paper. He
had been brought up In the lap Of
luxury and extravaganza, and when
bad times came and he had to go down
to the city and look cSrefGily after his
shillings 1t was his pretty and tender
little wife who helped him and encour-
aged him by example In small savings.
One fence he never would face.
He baked at taking bus. "It
might pass the club, you know, dear.
and the fellows at the windows"
One evening. however, he returned ra-
diant to dinner. Tenderly embracing
his life's partner, he murmured: 1--WE
done 1t, darling! All the way for three
pencew Love and gratitude were in
her eyes as she said: my brave boy!
Did you mind 1t very muchT With af-
fectionate cheerinesS he made answer:
mo, dear! Got box seat; real good old
sort, the driver. Told me lots of stories
and was quite chatty. Capital chap!
Gave him big cigar and half crown
for himself when / got down."

"rhe Almiahtx Dollar

A recent headline, Rule of the Dol
lar" has suggested the inquiry, Who
originated the familiar phrase 'the
almighty dollar" 1t was Washington
Irving in 1.-THE Creole Village" which
he published in 1887. The phrase be-
came so popular and excited so much
controversy in consequence of doubt
whether the adjective was irreverent
that its author had to explain eighteen
years later that he had intended mo
irreverence, even to the dollar, which
he is well aware is becoming daily
more and more an object of worship"
dollar" is certainly one of the worlds
great words now, and it is difficult to
realize that 1t only means "valleyer,"
the ''thaler" having been named after
the Joachimsthal, in Bohemia, In whose
valley it was first coined in the six
teenth century.-London Chronicle.

Antiquity of Tea Smoking.

with your tea cigarettes" said the
antiquary sternly, you young ladies
think yourselves very modern and de-
cadent But look here"
He took from portfolio French
print of the seventeenth century that
portrayed two men. with cumbrous
pipes, charging the same from a box
of China tea.
This shows you," the old man said,
''the antiquity of tea smoking. 1t was
a common thing in France 200 years
ago. Blegnt mentions it, and Grand
d'Aussay in his Historic de la Vie
Privee des Francois describes it in de-
tail. An old vice, dead yice-for the
French found that tea smoking racked
the nerves-how very, very foolish you
girls are to have revived it."-New Or
leans Times Democrat.

Let No One Boast.

Nevertheless, let no one boast. Just
as every man, though he be the great
est genius, has very definite limitations
in some one sphere of knowledge, and
thus attests his common origin will
the essentially perverse and stupid
mass of mankind, so also has every
man something in his nature which is
positively evil. Even the best-nay, the

kinship with the human race, In which

Two Hundred spsoI.a Of Ross..

There are 200 species Of roses in ex-
istence, though perhaps not more than
fifty clearly defined families. OF these
families only two are of American
birth There are thousands of varie-
ties, however, and of these our enter
prising rose growers have contributed
by far the largest proportion. The
eagerly sought black rose is still I'M

Two of the young friends of Bishop
Wilberforce of Oxford gave the au-
thorities of the university 80 much
trouble that they won the nicknames
of Hophni and Phinehas.
One day, says 7. H. s. Escott in $50
ciety In the Country House." they
were lounging about the hall at Cud-
desdon palace, singing the Lutheran
refrain, 1.-The devil is dead" when the
bishop suddenly appeared.
He walked very gently up to them
and in his most caressing manner,
placing one hand on each head, said In
a consolatory tone:

Precious Plant Stones.

Among the many strange things to be
found in the Philippine Islands are
the SO called plant stones" encounter
ed now and again in certain vegetable
growths. The bamboo, for instance,
according to Kultur und Natur, con-
tains stone very similar to the opal,
but on account of the rarity with which
1t is found it is much more costly than
the opal. In many thousand cane stalks
cut down and carefully examined there
may perhaps be one in which this beau
tiful greenlsh pink scintillatlng stone
has been formed from the minute parti-
cles of siliceous deposit that imparts
its intense hardness to the outer COW
ering of the cane. The bamboo cane
stone is known as tabashlrs. In the

secretion is found that Is not inferior

COTTON MARKET
 CLIMBS LADDER Advance Is Rapid and Substan-
 tiaI In All Months SPOTS STEADY AND HIGHER General Support Is Given By Bulls, and the Stopping of January Notices
 Has the Effect of Boosting
 Price of the Staple.
SPOTS STEADY AND HIGHER

New York, December 30-The feature in the cotton market today was the January notices which caused consid erable activity and the stopping of which caused a sharp advance in prices The close was steady at a net advnce of IT to 26 points. Sales were esti- mated at 350,O00 bales.
 The market opened. firm but very irregular at a decline of 6 points to an advance of IS points, The near months were lower owing to reports that notices representing about 5O,0o0 bales had been issued on January contracts, but as January sold up from 1O:30 to 10,42 during the first few minutes the indications were that the weak Inter est in January had been liquidated and that the notices were being promptly stopped. This view influenced the later positions on the call and shortly after the opening all the active months were selling IS to 20 points higher as re- suit of covering and bull support During the middle of the day the mar ket reacted several points from the top and ruled quiet but became more ac- five again toward the close when the near months were particularly nrm on reports of higher spot markets In the south, and last prices were within point or two of the best level for the day In the late session January sold within r points of March, whereas January was 27 points under March at the close last week. It was reported that the spot houses commonly re1erreo to as the December bull clique had po.h issued and stopped the January notices and there was a rumor that the cotton was to be shipped out to Liverpool Aside from the notices there was llt- tie feature to the news and trading was largely local.
 Receipts at the ports today, a,sio bales against 4s,749 last week land IT. 2s7 last year. Receipts for the week 340 900 bales against 354,S41 last week and 314,492 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans, 22,S6l bales, against 27,941 last year.

o'NEAL FOR CONGRESS.
It Is Said He May Oppose Richardson
 Next Year.

Decatur December 30.-(Special.) )-There seems but little doubt that Judge William Richardson of Huntsville will have strong opposition for nomination to Congress in this district. Judge Richard son filled out the unexpired term of Gen. Joe Wheeler, and was elected for another term. His term expires in 190S and his successor will be elected in November of that year.
 It is understood from a reliable source that certain influential democrats of the district have brought strong pressure to bear during the past few days to induce Emmet O'Neal of Florence to make the race for the nomination, and it is also understood that MT. O'Neal is consider ing the matter favorably.

DUELISTS WATCH
 EACH OTHER DIE
RUBE WEBSTER AND SAM M'CLURE MEET AT BLUFF CITY AND SHOOT EACH OTHER TO DEATH.

Hartselle. December 30.-tSpecial)- The meager details of a double tragedy has reached here, which occurred at Bluff City, on the Tennessee river, last Friday. The men, Rube Webster and Sam Mcclure, shot each other at the above named place, and each lay and saw the other die.
 The trouble, it is alleged, came up over woman. The two met and ex- changed hot words when the firing began with the above results. 1t seems that both men had been good friends heretofore and lived in the same community.
 It is claimed that one of the men had been paying attention to the oth CTS sister, which was objectionable to the brother.
