WHEN THE BIRDS GET Up.

From the London Spectator.
One of the small compensations for
sleepless old age is to lie awake all night
while the whole household is asleep and
listen to what is going on. I will give
you one of my nights experiences
I say nothing of the earlier hours ex-
cept that l think the blackbird is the last
to go to bed At 2:9O the robins song Is
heard At 3:45 a thrush flies up from
somewhere onto the bare branch of an
ash tree. and there after stretching out
one wing after the other and then his
legs and giving himself a regular wash
and brush up-I can see him plainly, for
the tree is in front of my open window
and bed-he begins his song; his notes at
first are rough. as If he had a cold in his
throat. but in short time he pours forth
his LIQUID music clear and sweet as a
nightingale's BY o'clock all the trees
are alive with a variety of songs OF many
birds, each one singing his own song re-
gardless of harmony, the whole contri-
buting 10 one general harmony.
BY $50 the music is silent. breakfast
time has arrived. and the lawn is alive
with starlings, thrushes, blackbirds, rob-
bins and sparroWs

PATTEN AIDS FRIENDS.

From the New York World.
1t is estimated that about 100000 bales
Of cotton have been thrown on the mar
ket during the last three days. but
whether this has been long or short cot
ton caused a good deal of doubt on the
cotton exchange yesterday, where exact
information as to the status of the specu
lation is difficult to obtain.
Brokers on the exchange were discussing
the story of the enormous amount of
profits made by three spectators who
started last spring on "shoestring.
Chicago operator, and on a tip from him
to buy wheat the three men made a sub
stantial profit. When they closed their
wheat deal cotton was selling below 10
cents a pound, and the positive statement
was made by reputable broker on the
cotton exchange yesterday that the three
men had run their profits made in the
Patten wheat deal up to s2000,0Oo in
cotton.
They have pyramided and spread their
orders out among about 40 brokers and
are carrying that many accounts, rang
ing from 10000 to $1,000 bales of cotton.
Up to this time they have been unable to
liquidate, and are said TO be still buying
on the present break A strong bear
party, having discovered their position,
has been raiding the market in the hope
of dislodging this big account
