The New Bedford Standard of Feb ruary 23 has the following regarding long staple cotton:
 There was considerable interest ia the specialties such as Sea Island and Egyptians. but very few of these were offered. It was reported that certain interests were buying up Sak cotton Of medium and high grades, for re-ship- ment to Liverpool, while there was a very active demand for spot Egyptian for filling in purposes until the larN shipments that have already arrived in Boston can be reshipped to this ter ritory.
 Sea Islands have been sought by few of the mills and sales between S1 and $1.03 for extra choice to fancy have been made. Average extra choice is offered at $1.04 to S1.05, with a very limited quantity available slightly un- der s1
 There was but little American Egyptian cotton offered in this market and interest in it was confined to very limited number of mills. Most of these demanded nothing lower than No. 3 grade and were looking for No. 2s if they could be found No. grade Pima cotton, very good in color and staple, but carrying a considerable quantity of large leaf, was offered for immediate shipment from Arizona at 95 cents. This was approved in certain quarters as suitable for tire yarns, but not good enough in grade for certain other con- tracts for which Pima was wanted"

The Letter of the Law.

The first great American opera is threat
ened with disaster because of the insistence Of
some fool agent upon a rigid application Of
the child labor law. rip Van Wrinkle" is a
notable effort, not only because it is sung in
English, but because American folk lore is
woven into It. Folk lore calls for children and
the letter Of the law denies the right to use
children on the stage after certain hours OF
course the law was meant to remedy abuses
by mo grabbing, constituencies managers
and no ,-ubt it has justified itself many times
over.
Perhaps the stage isn't good place to rear
children. The weight of the evidence seems
to support the proposition. But there is no
reason why children employed in rip Van
Wrinkle" should suffer greatly from either a
physical, mental or a moral standpoint If prop
erly Safeguarded while on duty and their habits
properly directed when they are not Anyway,
too strict enforcement Of the letter of the law
ought not be permitted to imperil the first
great American opera Art and the public are
entitled to a certain amount of consideration
If 1t can be extended without running the per-
formers past redemption.

Dorothy.


One of the quaintest and most
whimsical Of origins is that from
which Dorothy sprang. Theos and
Zeus. father of the gods, were
identical terms in ancient Greece
From Theos came many masculine
names and one feminine, Theodore,
which signified gift of God" or
divine gift" Curiously enough,
the reversal of the name into Dor
othea was speedily accomplished
and though absolutely incorrect,
gained more prevalence in the
western world than Theodore has
ever achieved.
The beautiful legend of st. Dor
othea helped to give her name
widespread fame. 1t is the story
of the Cappadocian maiden who
sent the roses Of paradise by an
gelic hands as testimony of the Joy
she was reaping. Dorothea be-
came a patron saint in Germany
and England straightway adopted
her name because of Massinger's
powerful drama. Dorothy was the
next step in her evolution and
Dolly became a popular diminutive.
Indeed, SO common was it in usage
that it became the generic term for
wooden children or puppets in the
time of Elizabeth Stuart and hence
