 Cotton jumped up yesterday when the Gtnners report came in.
 The story of the cotton market is always an interesting one on the days on which government bureau reports are Issued. Yes terday was therefore. particularly interest Ing to holders of the fleecy staple, as the market scared upward, the net advance of the day being 3-1sc over Wednesdays close.
 The popular estimate for the census re- port in the greater markets Liverpool, New York. and New Orleans was for 10.- 100000 bales or above. whereas the report Issued yesterday showed but s,e5s,427 bales gtnned to January 1. compared with 11.741,O39 for the same date last year.
 This report was considered very bullish as whole. The market consequently was very active and pricee 8eared upward. This was greatly helped by the steadines of Liv- erpool. and bullish reDorts as to spot condi- tons.
 Futures on the strength of the report made rapid advance of 22 points over Wednesdays close. and spots advanced 3-1ec. almost an advance of $1 per bale.
 Locally the market for spots sympathized with the future market advance and sellers of cotton yesterday were rewarded by the big advance.

of slang expressions;
but in the case of the recent word "welsher"
something more than a guess may be made.
The word is applied contemptuously to one who
cheats appropriates to himself the money
received bets. specifically on horse races,
without waiting to adjust the same. From this
it is taken to indicate anyone who "welshes,
or fails to do his duty in money matters.
Like many SO called Americanisms, the word
"welsher" has come into use through the Ger
man tongue. which is SO widely disseminated
throughout the United States, and has not
been derived from the nation Of Wales, despite
the seemingly close connection. "Welsch in
German. it is usually spelled, "walsch,'
meant originally Italian. and was then ex-
tended to mean foreigners in general To the
present day Italy is spoken of in German
" Walschland." In like manner. the early
Saxon invaders of the British Isles christened
the original inhabitants Welsh" the word
coming in time to be limited to the present in
habitants of Wales. who are supposed to be the
descendants of the ancient Cimrics.
Needless to say both in the case of the Ger
mans and of the Saxons the term welsh was
used contemptuously. foreigner" is used

man, party during the long struggle from the
eleventh to the fourteenth century. "Guelf "
was the Italian manner of spelling "welf," or
wolf" as "Ghibelline" was for spelling
"Waiblingen." the name of one of the Hohen
staufen castles.
The word "walsch" is constantly met with
in German poetry, notably in the celebrated
national song, !" Die Yacht am Rhein." and in
the hardly less celebrated poem. What Is the
Germans Fatherland?" In apostrophizing
the Rhine. Schnecken burger, author of the
hymn. uses the words:
'And should my heart in death grow dumb
No 'Welscher therefor thoult become"
And in his fiery manner Ernst Moritz
Arndt answers his own question as to the ex-
tent of the German fatherland by saying:
"The Germans fatherland is where
'Welsch trifing at our anger pales.
In view of this contemptuous use of the word
welsh" and of the omnipresence of Germans
in America, it is small wonder that the word
has come to be applied to the meanest gutter

ton which cannot be enforced

or is sense an attribute of living animals

this fascinating question. And yet it is clear to
every man and woman with garden-to a child
even with eyes to in our helds-that plants
know exactly what conditions of life best suited
for them. And where such conditions not forth

Modern science tries to account for this intelligence
by elaborate theories about the relations of plants

theories satisfactory; for plants reason just

action of climbing tendrils, there many definite
leaf movements regulated by light or temperature.
Among these may mention the folding up of the
clover: the folding down of the wood sorrel's leaf
