May Be a Hairless Race.

The hair growth on various parts Of
the body is regulated to perform
specific purpose. When we tamper
with this growth for centuries we de-
velop new forms. Perhaps this is why
badness is modern affection, en-
tirely unknown in primeval periods.
Eventually the human race will prob
ably be denuded of all hair.

See If Your Diamond Is Genuine.

Here is a test that can be made
when a diamond is quite clean and dry.
Place on the surface Of diamond a
tiny drop of water. Now take needle
or pin and try to move the drop about.
If the diamond is genuine, experts say,
the drop can be rolled intact. On the
other hand when the gem is an imita-
ton the water spreads directly it is
touched with the needle point.

Cotton.

There was further liquidation in the
cotton market yesterday, but there was
also active trade buying on the breaks,
and the general tone was firmer owing
TO the character of spot advices. After
selling at 28.07 on the call, January
advanced to 2S.S1, or AZ points above
Tuesdays close. A renewal Of liquida-
ton sent the price back to $3.50, or \
points net lower, but rallies followed,
with that delivery closing at 2S.45, and
with the general list closing steady at
net advances of to II points.
Overnight selling orders caused an
irregular opening, but the early offer
ings were quickly absorbed, and the
market became firm during the middle
Of the morning on reports that most
Of the contracts sold on the decline
were going into the hands Of the trade,
and that offerings of spot cotton in
the South were being withdrawn. Stop
orders on the short side were uncov-
cred, with December selling 30 points
and later months about 40 to AZ points
net higher. The more urgent demand
from shorts then appeared to have
been satisfied. and the market weak
ened during the early afternoon under
renewed liquidation. There was no
change in the character of spot or
trade news
