BIRDS THE FIRST TO STAND
The Only Lower Creation of Nature That HabitualIy Does So, As-
 cordlno to Scientists.

And let us note that the art of standing began with birds. Frogs sit, and as far as I know every rep tile, be it lizard, crocodile, alligator or tortoise, lays its body on the ground when not actually carrying it. And these have each four fat legs. Contrast the famingo, which, having only two, and those like will low wands, tueks up one of them and sleeps poised high on the other, like tulip on its stem
 Note also that one toe has been altogether discarded by birds as superfuous. The germ, or bud, must be there, for the Dorking fowl has produced fifth toe under some in- duence of the poultry yard, but no natural bird has more than four.
 Except in swifts, which never perch, but cling to rocks and walls. one Is turned backward, and by 6 cunning contrivance the act of bend ing the leg draws theD all auto matically together. So hen closes it's toes at every step it takes, as if it grasped something and of course when 1t settles down on its roost
  they grasp that tight and hold it fast till morning.
 But to birds that do not perch this mechanism Is only an encum- brsnce, so many of them, like the blowers, abolish the hind toe entire ly, and the prince of all two legged runners, the ostrich, has got rid of one of the front toes also, retaining only two.-Strand Magazine.

ening Tendency.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Oct, 9.1The Sea
Island cotton market has been firm
the past week with a good demand at
hardening prices; the inquiry was for
all grades as being received. Moth
ing choice Is yet coming in on the
present crop. Sales were liberal, and
the market closed firm
Crop accounts are about the same
The census report showed 1885 bales
ginned up to Sept. rs. against ll,457
last year. This increase is attributed
to the rapid opening OF the crop IN
Florida, and is not indicative OF cor.
respondingly large yield The Georgia
crop is turning out well on the acreage.
The South Carolina crop Is said to be
materially under last year
There are egain complaints OF the
Savannah trade being handicapped by
under-selling Of the interior.
Sales for the week, 1859 bales.
The following prices were based on
factors quotations and are revised
