CITY MANS IDEA OF FARMS
Intended witticisms viii BE Amusing
to Those Who Live In. the AsrI-
cultural Districts.

Farms may be roughly divided into
two Ands-the gentleman's or non
paying farm and the common or gar
den farm. When you have saved up
enough money to keep you in your
old age buy q farm. Besides getting
rid of your money death will come as

complish a double purpose. The aban-
doned farm Is form OF entertainment
INDUCED in by many to whom faro.
horse racing and Wall street are not
exciting enough. Besides, just as in
human beings. no matter how low an
abandoned farm may have sunk there
is always some good in it.
To rehabilitate an abandoned farm
and put 1t OH its feet is a great pleas
ure. First, remove all the plumbing,
replacing it with gold-plated pipes and
belt line OF shower baths; after this
has been finished will be time enough
for you to imagine where the water
works are. You will usually find them
pleasantly situated at the other side
OF the county seat. BY going to the
local political gang and carrying one
or two elections you will eventually
get stream of water running into
your pipes which will excite the envy
OF every one within reach Of your
megaphone.-Life.

Japanese Female Costumes.

A japanese woman of fashion is by
no means a drain on her husbands
finances. The cost of her wearing an.
parel Is very small indeed when com
pared to her sister of the Occident.
She wears $3.50 worth Of clothing I'M
der her kimono, the latter costing
about S25. The obi costs another $25.
Numerous tying paraphernalia sum up
to $1725, and set of footwear
amounts to>about 80. Combs and hair
pins, ornamented with gems, cost
$246; a shawl, $3.50; a diamond neck
clasp, $3.50; total of a little more
than 5000 for season. This is a very
modest outlay when compared to the
enormous cost of apparel for the wo-
man OF fashion in New York or
Paris.

Scientific Bridae Buildiro

Calgary Alberta, has recently solved
a problem of bridge construction in
novel manner. The town lies on
each side Of the Bow river, that por-
ton on the north bank being builtyon
the high bluffs which border the river.
To bridge the river on an incline to
the top OF the bluff would have been
to neglect the portion Of the city lying
at the foot of the bluff. To make a
deep cutting would have spoiled much
of the property. The problem was
solved by constructing a level bridge
across the river, and then gaining the
heights above by an inclined tunnel
bored through the cliffs.

are confident that the results will
show that the training for efficiency
has not been In vain.
There is no accurate data by which
to compile the number Of train move
ments per day, some basis can be
reached, however, by regarding the
number Of trains arriving and leaving
a certain station. From Providence,
R. l., a city of 225 900 population, over
800 trains arrive and leave during "a
hours. To this must be added the
movement of switch engines about
the yards. a conservative estimate
of the train movements upon which
mistakes might result in accidents,
would be about 400 a day for every
100000 of population, or 1860 a day

ted States.

COTTON MARKETS
EXTREMELY DULL
Talent Continues to Sell, En-
couraged by Free offerings of
Actual Cotton Abroad.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The cotton
market opened steady to-day, with first
prices net unchanged to points lower
Than the closing quotations of Friday.
The buying was rather general and the
opening was much better than expected,
considering the poor Liverpool cables.
The buying was attributed to the same
sources that were noticeable on the
buying side yesterday and prices raj
lied points on near positions from
the initial range.
The principal feature of the opening
was the selling of December and buying
of January and March by brokers close
iy identified with spot interests. The
ring was inclined to sell on the weak
ness in the English market, due to freer
offerings OF actual cotton and the be-
lief that Liverpool is overbought, and
st the end of the first half hour the
list widened its decline TO . to - points
The weakness in the market was at
t11buted more to the holiday in New
Orleans than anything else. On and
after the call the market was so small
and narrow it could hardly be called a
market.
The weather news was bad, and more
freezing weather is expected over Sun
day, The map indicates another bad
spell, with heavy rains in North Tex
AS and frost tonight in North Caro-
lima, probably light in South Carolina,
and light local frost in North and Cen
tral Georgia. where there is still some
unmatured bolls. In addition to this,
1t was rumored that the National Gin
ners report will be out soon with a
very bullish report. Despite all of this,
the market failed to disclose any rail-
lying power worth mentioning
on the close, traders evidently went
short on the theory that Liverpool would
not respond to our strength Liverpool
is due 5 to s pints higher Monday
AT the close the market was steady,
with prices 3 to 6 points lower than the
final quotations of Friday.
