SLOW NEW YCnK.
II Actually Made the iiustIing Western
Barber Sleepy.

why. say" said visiting barber
from the wide untrammeled west. You
folks here in New York are narrow,
hind the age You think you are the
human limit when really your gait is
very slow.
Il went into one of your shops here
yesterday. Nice shop. good equip
ment. everything fine and elegant. but
on the work it made me nervous \
good plant but not worked to capacity
They had Il man in Il chair with a
barber cutting his hair and mani
cure fixing his hands and a bootblack
backing his shoes all at the same
time. and suppose you think here
that that's going some to have three
people work on customer all at once,
but. goodness me, you ought to look
into my shop and see how we do things
in my part of the country!
i've got a shop that's every bit as
modern and up to date to the last linn
it as anything you've got in New
DIX. Out out There we ullllEe our
plant. What do you suppose we do
when man comes in that's in a hur-
ry to catch Il train? Think we all lie
down and take a nap?
"Why. we put one barber to cutting
his hair and another to shaving him,
and two manicurerS tackle his hands,
one on each side. We take off his
shoes. and two boys work on them
each backing a single shoe, while two
chiropodists get at him. each taking
foot, and at the same time we have
one boy brushing the customers hat
and another brushing his overcoat
while another dusts the clothes he's
got ON with a vacuum buster.
You put three people on a man at
once and think you're doing something
We put on eleven and think nothing
about it ct all, and our town amt a
quarter as big as New York-not q
quarter.
why, honest, this New York at
mosphere makes me sleepy!-New

NEW WAY 70 MATCH CHICKENS
Electric Light Dces 1t One Gay Quicker
Now Than rEothsr Hen Can.

Electric Light Does 1t One Day Quicker
Now Than Mothsr Hen Can.
Old mother hen may not have a
chance to hatch her own chicks any
more, for there is way of doing it
by electric light now which puts the
cid fashioned way far in the back
ground. At the poultry show at Mad
is0n Square Garden, in New York. the
other day scores of chickens were
hatched by electric light under glass
globe where every one could see the
process. The electric lights keep the
temperature inside the globe at q de-
gree which brings the chicks out of
the shell one day quicker than mother
hen ever did it. The chicks came Into
the world fast, and New Workers look
ed on with open mouthed surprise.
But strange as it was for the folks
who walked from Broadway to see the
novel Improvement on nature. it was
even more surprising to the farmers
who We're attracted to the city to see
the newest wrinkles in poultry rails
ing.
One could see the egg crack and soon
notice d tiny beak pecking at the
crack until there was small hole.
Gradually the chick peclled away
enough shell to poke its head out and
soon broke the shell away until it tum-
bled out free, healthy, featherless
chick. And if one happened to come
around again in an hour he could see
the feathers grow and the chick hop
ping around inside the glass globe.

GREAT STATE PARK.
Harr4man's Gift to New York Provides
Recreation Ground Sixty Miles Long.

Recreation for generations yet To
come is provided for in the gift to the
state Of New York of 10000 acres of
mountain and forest on the west bank
Of the Hudson river and the offer Of
$l.CCO,UUO made by Mrs. l.. II. Iarri-
man in carrying out the wishes of her
late husband the railroad magnate
and fnancier. Mr.. Hartman foresaW
that the congestion of population
which is bound to come in the succeed
ing decades would require that some
proper provision be made for the great
metropolitan district Of New York city
The property which the state shWlld
acquire in order to carry out the idea
would include an additional 5000
acres near Arden as well as the land
along the shore of the Hudson. which
would extend the parking OF the Pail
sades from the end of the present res
ervntion. near Nyack. to Newburg.
AS it appears in the maps now in the
possession Of the commissioners of the
Palisades Interstate park the proposed
reservation in Orange and Rockland
counties will extend back ten miles
from the Hudson to the neighborhood
of Tuxedo and will be from five to six
miles in width at It's broadcast point
The tract combining the Hartman
gift and the land to be acquired is
pear shaped in form. 1t consists Of
mountains and forest and abounds in
every natural charm. Whatever may
be done, 1t Is necessary that there
shall be sufficient outlet from the
property in the Hartman tract to the
river and as much more as is neces-
sary to insure an adequate park for
the needs Of future teeming millions.
The idea had been in the mind Of
Mr.. Hartman for years. and the OBJ
tanning of the other subscriptions has
largely been due to George W. Per-
kins. president of the New York state
Palisade commission. who for several
years has been working IN the inter-
ests Of the plan.
Should the state Of New York accept
the offer of Mrs. Hartman there will
be n continuous park extending along
the shore Of the Hudson river from
Fort Lee ferry to Eewburg. distance
OF sixty miles. The states of New
York ard New Jersey. through joint
commission, We're able to stop the
blasting for trap rock which was ruin
ing the Palisades and conserved the
strip of the shore including the face
of the cliffs. as far as Piermont.

Coed roads will increase the produc-

easily covered Oh our present roads.
1t increases the volume Of business,
and every man in business In the com

fit. The farmer is able to haul his
grain and produce to market at less
cost and makes greater profit per
year from his labor. This additional
profit is represented by the additional
amount of cash he has to spend with
the home dealers. When the farms are
made to pay larger dividends more

Plan to Whiten Negroes.

@. T. Simpson before the American
Association For the Advancement Of
Science at its recent meeting in BOs-
ton declared that eventually the dark
skinned races can become light and
the lighter people darker in hue. "My
experiments with plants and animals"
said Mr.. Simpson, "have shown me
that once perfect control can be
made over chromosomes. the life CIV
ing forces of color. injections or baths
can be made which will result in fu-
ture generations becoming lighter or
darker, as may be desired. The black
est negro can be made into a perfect
Albino by this process"

Prospects Later.

Prospects Later.
The birds have slipped us a goodby
And to the south are fleeing
To find a warmer place to sleep
And more abundant eating.
And for the winters travelling
Their broods have been collected,
And some day we may join them there
When flying Is perfected.
On airy wings they rise and fit
To places more inviting.
A summer climate suits them best,
Though maybe not exciting.
We watch them as they fly away.
And, though we feel forsaken.
We say ''Some day we'll join you there
If Wrights are not mistaken"
Oh that will be a glorious day
When we can rise and tlutter
To where the climate is so warm
That 1t will melt the butter.
When we can pack our little grips
And have the rest sent later
And through the chilly autumn air
Make straight for the equator.
Inventors, tighten up your screws,
Your engines get in training,
So we can scoot away to cimes
That are not mussed by raining.
We know you're busy. and we hate
The subject to be proaching,
But oh, mankind would be bird
When winter Is approaching!

market position. The extension of the operation of the old rules for cotton bills to December 31. removes the pres sure for rushing cotton exports and is likely to affect the next monthly show Ing on that account
 The Bank of England added to the importance of the exchange situation by raising it's official discount rate from 4 to per cent last week. The action was prompted, avowedly. in part by the outbreak of speculation in the New York stock market and the desire to check the placing of finance bills in London by New York bankers to secure resources for carrying on the specula ton. The silent balance between the loan expansion of the New York trust companies and the loan contraction of the New York clearing house banks, since October opened, Is taken as pre- sumptive evidence that the speculative movement in stocks has been financed with borrowings abroad. The drain on the Bank of England gold reserves to Egypt and India with a prospect of South American demand, presents problem of available relief from this strain. with the possibility suggested of demands upon New York for gold.
 An immediate factor ip the stock market revival and especially in the speculative congestion in United States Steel was found In the report current in the steel trade that prominen trail road executives had signified tn cir in- tention to place large orders for equip ment after the elections. This inten- ton was said to be the outgrowth of conviction that a raising of freight rates would be permitted by the inter state commerce commission.

Washington, October 2S-Was six months after August 5. 1909, really Feb ruary 5, 1910 or was 1t yesterday, October 22 1910- Seemnly this is an inane ques- ton, but upon it's answer by the supreme court of the United States may depend whether or not s10o0O additional duty must be paid by Tiffany & Co. of New York on the pearls of Mrs. Guggenheim, wife of the smelling and refining company promoter. bought to adorn his wife and perhaps, thousands of dollars in duty on them
 The court of appeals for the second cir cult on April 4 1910. held that the duty of $500 paid on the pearls when 'hey were imported from Paris was sufficient. The government claims an additiena, sl0 GOO duty on the ground that the pearls were set or strung. But the serious ques- tion now is, "Who Is to review the de- cision of the circuit court of appeals ?''

New York, October 23.-Financial confidence was well maintained last week and confirmation was found in some of the news for that confidence as it had been expressed in the previous advance in prices of stocks. The up ward movement of stocks encountered some obstacles. partly attributable to the lessened stability at the greater altitude and partly to adverse factors.
 The publication of the statistics of the countrys foreign trade for Sep- tember made a marked impression on speculative sentiment because of it's evidence of a decisive turning from the abnormal excess of import value over exports in evidence for the earlier months of the year. The value of Sep tember exports, in contrast, reached a record figure for that month and the excess value over imports was greater with two exceptions than for any pre- ceeding September. The conduct of the speculation in cotton involved large marketings abroad.
 The dispute with foreign bankers over cotton bills of lading also stimu- lated exports in anticipation of the time limit for the old rules. A sub stantial increase in value of manufac- tured products proved, however. that other factors than the cotton movement helped in the showing. Neverth eless, foreign trade still will be scanned with some anxiety in the light of the money

COTTON CROP ESTIMATES ARE J HIGHER ON GOOD WEATHER

New Orleans, October 23.-The cotton market on the opening week will be in- huenced mainly by the manner in which Liverpool takes the slump in the local market on the close of last week. With the cable news given consideration the weather over Sunday will be weighed. The majority of traders went home Sat urday with the idea that the weather map Monday morning would be clear and warmer, just the sort of weather most desired after the cold weather of the last few days. Should such a map be seen the advantage will be with the bear side, unless the country sends in too many re- ports O. damage by frost.
 It is probable that this week will see a general revision of crop estimates as the result of the frost damage done last week. Traders will not be willing to re- duce their items to any great extent, but bullish ideas will again swing to the low figures that were In vogue some time ago. Whether low estimates will have much, If any effect, on the market with powerful bear manipulation going on remains to be seen.
 On Tuesday the market will listen to report on ginning which will take the crop down to october II. The general idea is that this will be decidedly bearish be-
