New York Cotton

New York, March l6.-Cotton iu- tues opened steady; March $40; May 31.9O; July 3l.3o; October 3o.a8; Bsccmbcr 30.l5.
 The cotton market showed renewed stcadincss carly today. The opening was ? to i2 points higher and active months sold S to l3 points above last nights closing after the call on GOV erirg and further trade buying, which was probably encouraged by the con tjnued absence of rain in the south west and the bullish average of spot advances. March sold up to 32.73, making a new high record for that de- livery, wh', May touched I.96 and October 30.4l. General business was not active and contracts were com paratively scarce, although there was bearish comment on the weekend figures. Reports that arrangements have been made to facilitate the ship ment of cotton congestion the piers here to New England mills were con- sidcred a favorable feature, but it is said that the production of Fall Riv- CT is kept down by the scarcity of op- nratives.
 There was enough realizing to cause some rrcgularity during tn. middle of the morning but the mar ket ruled generally steady on cover ing by near month spots and trade buying. March sold as high as 32.SO May 31.9S and October 30.41, CT 8 tc IT points net higher The close was steady at a net advance of 3 to 1T points with the new crop relatively easy on rumors of rain in the south west

EIGHTEEN YEARS ON ISLAND
Experience of Indian Woman Makes
That of Robinson Crusoe Appear a
Mere Incident

It would appear that Alexander Sell
kinks brief stay On Juan Fernandez
island was trivial, either in the hard
ships endured or the difficulties over
come, compared with that of woman
ON an island opposite the Californian
peninsula.
1t seems that the Catholic fathers
at Santa Barbara were once transport
ing the natives of the island Of ST..
Nicholas to the mainland. Among
them was a mother who discovered
that her babe had been left behind.
She begged that the vessel might be
put back, but the captain refused.
She then leaped into the sea 10 swim
ashore, but as a storm prevailed, all
on board thought she was drowned.
Eighteen years afterWard a company
landed on the island. They found
traces of life, and after a long search
discovered the woman and took her
with them. The poor woman never
found her babe, but had managed to
live in comparative comfort, though
very lonely. After her long life in the
open, she could not endure the confine-
ment Of a house, and soon sickened
and died.

KEEPS VITAL POINTS SAFE
Medical Explanation Of Work Per-
formed by Fluid Which Battles
Brain and Spinal Cord.

Until very recently the exact role
played by the cerebro-spinal fluid
that watery substance which bathes
the brain and spinal cord-was not
understood. But nowadays it is a
common practice among surgeons to
squirt drugs into the tissues contain
ing this fluid or to draw out drop or
two of it for examination.
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association, commenting on an ad-
dress by DR.. w. D. Halliburton be-
fore the Royal Society of Medicine,
says he describes the cerebro-spinal
fluid as an ideal physio1ogic solution
in which the exquisitely sensitive nerv-
Gus system is always bathed.
This fluid does not, like the lymph,
arise from the blood by emulation of
serum through the walls of the capil-
laries, but is the product of the Sc
creting cells of what are called the
choroid plexuses in the ventricles Of
the brain. The pressure under which
the fluid always exists is due to the
oeCIetoIy pressure VI lHeoe Ceilo anu
not to the blood. And there are
scarcely any proteins found in it.
Halliburton says that in order to keep
out the harmful proteins, which would
poison the nerves, the harmless ones
also are almost completely excluded.
The membranes that line the spaces
in which the fluid is found seem to
permit substances to pass from it to
the blood, but to be impermeable lex
cept for oxygen) in the direction from
the blood to the fluid. The value Of
this arrangement is that when poi
sons enter the blood, as they do so
easily, they are kept away from the
delicate nerves.

When Doq SOUGHT His Master,

There is q story in the American
Magazine in which a writer says:
'He had come many miles. He had
many miles yet to go. From sleeping
farmhouses dogs bayed him as he
passed, running like big fox, silent
and swift. The road turned and twist
ed among the hills and small noun
tains. Ahead in the sky was a glow
of coming day. 1t grew brighter with
the passing miles. 1t drew him on.
The distance would have meant little
to him, except for the tremendous
speed at which he had been travelling.
Now his chest was feCked with foam.
His tail, carried usually so proudly,
followed the curve of his launches.
His overstrained muscles worked me-
chemically like pistons. His heart
pounded his long, lean, red ribs.
"Dizzy, almost famished, he came
at last to the top of hill, and stop
ped, ears erect. Below him stretched
rows of twinlling lights that, all to-
gether, made up the glow in the sky.
That was the city with the strange
building into which they had carried
Tommy Earlier"

"FIapdoodIe" Universal.

BOOSTERS have used it simply and in
genuously, but by mankind it has been
raised almost to the level Of an art and
it has been extensively used from long
before the days Of Solomon for pur~
poses of evasion, promotion, argument
and self-advanccment. There is scarce
ly a department Of human activity that
is free from it. 1t is rhetorical de-
vice that is literally and Shamelessly
used by the lover, the business man,
the professional man, the society WON
an, the critic and the craftsman, and
even the clergyman has been known to
descend to it's employment upon occa-
sion. The routine evidences Of flap
doodle in ordinary intercourse are mo-
nOtOnous, but in it's most highly cult
waited forms it is found in art, liter
ature, criticism, politics and statecraft.
1t is the most common commodity in
the world, and about the most serious.

Strength Appeals to Women.

Women are-or, should it be, have
been?-so bound by convention that it
may be the strain of lawlessness that
ties, more or less deep, in us all, in
them manjtests itself in admiration
for the men who have chosen to be
a law unto themselves.
Perhaps the real secret is woman's
love for strength, which, despite eman-
ciPated protests, is the strongest in
stinct inherited from the cave woman
still rampant within her. Most wom-
ems favorite character in history is
Napoleon, not because he was great,
but because he was ruthless, and she
will always have more admiration for
great soldier than a great poet I'M
less his amours were specially notori-
GUS; but, unhappilv, in any instance
she mistakes lawlessness for strength,
not being sufficiently experienced to
realize that only the bound are free
London Ideas.

Not All Love Silence.

DR.. A. A. Brill of New York tells
Of a musical genius who complained
Of insomnia, which he maintained to
be due to street noises in the city and
cricket and night calls in the country!
Many persons who become hypersen-
sitive to noises blame their troubles
On the sounds. This very patient could
listen with rapture to music and yet
believe that noises kept him awake!
Some of the greatest apostles Of si1
Ience have shown themselves in need
Of noise. For example, John Stuart
Mill, who was an enemy of all noise,
hired boy, according to Doctor Brill,
to beat a drum next to the room in
which he worked in order to stimulate
his thoughts.
