Manipulating . Blanket.


 Learning how to manage a blanket that is little shovt at one end and not quite long enough at the other. with similar deficiencies in width, iS one of the first things the young sol' dier should be taught. If he is not taught it, he will probably have an ex. pertence like that of a western recruit who says that In his first week in camp he lost a great deal of sleep at night When he lay on his back his stomach was cold; when he turned over his back was cold; when he pulled ths blanket up around his shoulders he got cold feet, and when his feet were un- der the blanket his neck was uncom. fortable. A veterans recipe may, however, be worth considering. He says the only way to manipulate an army blanket, on a cold night, is te pull your knees up to your chin, lie face downward, and hold the four cor ners of the blanket in your teeth.- Christian Science Monitor.

New York Cotton.

tNSV VII SVN-Vns
 New York, Nov. 27.--Realizing for over the holiday and scattered south ern selling caused reactions in the cotton market during today's early trading. The opening was steady at decline of ? points to an advance of points and Liverpool was again buyer, particularly on March and May. On the whole, however, de mand was much less active after the big advance of yesterday and prices soon turned easier with December selling off to 30.10, January to 29.32 and March to 2S.9o, or about 13 to Is points net lower. Early advices from the south reported no further change in the basis. There were reports from Georgia that cotton was selling at 50 to 50 1-Sc in the interior.
 RumOrs of an easier spot basis in the southwest were circulating on tho decline, but offerings tapered off around 29.2S for January and 2S.Sl for March, or about 22 to 2S points under last nights closing figures. Business later was quiet with prices firmer forward midday on little trade buying or covering by early sellers.
 The market showed renewed firm ness during the early afternoon on continued trade buying and covering with January selling up to 29.70 and March to 29.27, or about 16 to 20 points net higher on active months and back to within a few points of yesterdays best levels.
 Cotton closed bearly steady. The range:

K1Fcher'0 SUoo0eted ENRd0eap0.
 In Cardinal Montalto's garden at Rome there used to be . marble slab, on which was cut a suggested; land- scape by Kircher, of magic.lanterp fame. Krcher's landscape resolved It. self at a distance into a human head with very curly locks. and village on the bridge of the nose. The eye was very prominent, but how 1t was to be obtained except by color was not very clear. However, 1t was plain enough in the plan, with a man shooting into 1t as if 1t were a target. The giants neither lip and chin came well out against the sky line, and altogether the design was not bad one.

Freak Inventions.

There are on llle in the patent ofics the strangest, freakiest kinds of in. ventions, which reveal in the most as. founding manner the marvellous and incomprehensible workings of the hu- man brain. If, as some wit remarked, genius Is a form of insanity" a visit to the patent office will furnish abun- dant evidence of the truth of this as. sertion. However that may be. one explanation of some of the freak de- vices and appliances that have been invented and patented may, evidently, be fou1d in the statement that the en. thusiasm of these inventors kept then Gom thinking.-Nxchange.

POLICING WEST VIRGINIA.

HERE have been so many schemes proposed at
Charleston for providing for the peace and security
Of the people and the dignity of the law in West
Virginia, now that the National guard has been drawn
INTO the service Of the nation, that the Legislature is quite
likely to adjourn without doing thing At all events one
Of the least merorous of all the plans proposed was the
one introduced yesterday which provides for police force
composed Of deputy shenfs.
The very best possible solution of this problem was be-
fore the legislature in the bill introduced by request in the
House Of Delegates by Mr.. Bouchee, of Kanawha
county This measure which out of committee with
favorable report would provide police force of three
companies organized in every essential particular like the
famous State police force of Pennsylvania The Pennsy
vana force is maNeousy efficient and successful and if
The Legislature were to create one just like in West Vr
ga il would take care Of the militia problem during the
war and at the conclusion of the would take the
state militia out of the police business and leave
with body of men who could cope successfully and
quietly with our Booger Holes, the moopshiners that
ae bound spring up now that the state has gone bone
pirates and other people who must be watched constantly.
h Pennsylvania it was the fashion Of certain class Of
nasogues to fight the State police in the legislature and
ep people for while did prevent any increase in the size
he force but one of the first eecs of the declaration
81 war was the passage of laws at Harrisburg making
Tie State police force very much larger And in New
state where the kind of opposition had prevent
ed the organization of state police force, although the
need generally admitted the opposition swept
ade if it did not amount to anything and Supernend

Of the world, assisting in the organization of the
